Here is a little something I wrote about a year ago, right before I started my blog. I thought this would be a great time to post it since the Beforever Spotlight is on Kaya. Enjoy!
Most people would say, dolls are not alive, but one doll is different from the rest. The Native American doll named Kaya looks adorable on the outside. Inside, she has a personality.
First of all, Kaya is a very picky eater. As a Native American, she is used to eating roots, salmon, and berries. Food that we eat today is not appetizing to Kaya. She thoroughly investigates each new food she tries, poking and sniffing it. Kaya's least favorite foods are pizza and cookies. When pizza is served for dinner, you will find Kaya sneaking her meal to her sisters, and carrying her plate back to the kitchen for more veggies. This explains why she is the thinnest doll out of her sisters.
Kaya is too shy to be rude and so she has polite manners. Meeting someone new is hard for her, and she usually leaves that job for her sisters. Her closed mouth causes her to not to talk very much, so she can think before she speaks. Kaya is a very good listener, and her grandmother favors her over the other dolls.
Although Kaya is quiet, she loves getting her picture taken. Kaya puts on her cutest smile, and poses. Unfortunately, since she has such a thin body, Kaya has a tendency to tip over. She looks as if she is standing. Then she tips, and falls on her face. Kaya is thankful that she hasn't had to go to the hospital. Once, she was in a photo on top of a wall, then Kaya did a somersault and landed on her head. She got two scratches on her face, and one on her thumb, but she was okay.
Though a doll with a personality is kind of strange, Kaya will love anyone who plays with her lovingly, takes her photo, and gives her her favorite food.

ALESSANDRO COSTARIOL
Is a graphic designer, and art director, He is mainly focused on the development and design of visual identities and he works between Rome and Milan.
He graduated in Industrial Design and started his activity in 2001.
Designer published on the ADI Design Index 2008, he was nominated to the XXIIa edition of the Compasso D'oro award
His work has also been published on Wallpaper * (UK), New Graphic (China), Etapes (France), Kak (Russia).
Winner in 2010 at the European Design Awards, recently held a conference at Bern University Arts as part of a series of meetings on type design.
Alessandro Costariol, remote future visual designer
Cinzia Ferrara (Vice-President Aiap)
Were it possible to sum up a person with a single term that provides a concise, clear, definitive portrait, the word I would choose for Alessandro Costariol would be "atemporal". A rather recent term, first used in the late 1800s, an expression of the contemporary condition that recurs in the fields of philosophy and linguistics, marking a sort of seam between the object and time, bestowing on the former a privileged condition that enables it to range across the latter, ignoring its sequence and rhythm and thus gaining an advantageous, detached, suspended position.
Atemporal takes on a meaning that suits him like a finely tailored garment, as it does his works, which conserve a simultaneously ancient and modern savor, at times mixing contrasting aspects, as happens in cuisine when salty flavors unexpectedly harmonize with sweetness.
Alessandro Costariol stands out for his very refined use of illustration, reminding us of the rigor and obsessive precision of Liberty graphics and the works of Kolo Moser; the visionary quality and full forms and colors of Futurist graphics and the works of Fortunato Depero; the continuous contaminations between text and image of Giovanni Pintori and the capacity for expressive synthesis of Paul Rand. But beyond any possible references, his style is hard to define, very personal and – precisely – atemporal, suspended over an entire century of history of graphic design from which to borrow at will, inspired by the works of the great masters who made use of illustration, deriving elements that are grafted and crossed, in turn, to generate a system of mysterious proportions and composition.
His illustrations enliven different graphic projects, where together with the use of lettering (usually designed by him for the occasion) they establish a single but open system, triggering a dynamic balance among the parts in a highly expressive result that achieves hypnotic power in the best works.
The works in which lettering alone plays the leading role are less forceful, as if it had been left to its own devices on the pale stage of the paper, hesitating to launch into a long monologue in front of a demanding audience. But when the relationship between text and image – more graphic than photographic – is restored, everything starts to work perfectly again, in a continuous play of dense, ongoing dialogue between the two.
While photography is seldom the project material in his graphic works, it has a major role in his video installations, where it is always cropped in an unusual way, bringing out the detail separated from its context, in a composition where form and color take on an absolute value, a syncopated rhythm.
Straight and curved lines ranging from thin strokes whose impalpable quality is a reminder of nibs dipped in India ink, rigorously black or in other pure colors like cyan, used with its viscosity for subtle line drawings, to lines so robust they seem to become two-dimensional forms in their own right, brimming with color, relentlessly and almost completely colonizing the whiteness below, are also extremely important.
Of equal importance are his colors, primary, secondary and composite, chosen and combined in an unusual, irreverent way, with that arrogance that comes from a confident grasp of what one wants to achieve, creating a chromatic rhythm that is not obtained by means of reassuring, harmonious sequences of color, but by courageously seeking balance precisely by investigating the themes of contrast and cacophony.
Alessandro Costariol undoubtedly stands out for his inborn ability to design and manage the space of a project, combined with a capacity to gather references and to draw on spheres that may also be distant from that of visual design, such as cinema and literature, not only contemporary but also historical, through those examples that due to their intrinsic, innovative value have been released from a specific time, and travel undisturbed throughout time's fullest breadth.
Then there are other aspects that could be assessed in his work, like the interesting surreal vein seen in the bestiary created for Massa 29, but I would like to see other examples in his future works to understand if this can represent a dominant note or whether it is simply a random encounter. For the multibrand clothing store made in Martina Franca, in Apulia, he designs specimens of monkeys and birds whose natural colors are accentuated and exaggerated, with stunned, enigmatic gazes, big heads grafted onto geometric collars, like displayed trophies hung on the whiteness of the typographic wall.
In his latest work "Oltredove, Oltre il tempo dove guardare le stelle" (Wherebeyond, beyond the time where one looks at the stars), he displays a maturity that allows his illustrations – an elegant, enigmatic reinterpretation of the fourteen plates of the Apocalypse by Albert Dürer – to take on a life of their own with respect to the entire metaphysical, visionary project. This work conceived and made for the Salone del Mobile of Milan in 2010 by DWA Interior Architecture (Alberto Artesani, Frederik De Wachter) and Alessandro Costariol, presents us with a collection of enigmatic, timeless objects from a place where technology has never existed or has become completely obsolete. The installation is evocative, suspended in time between a distant past and a future to come, composed of a few element whose use is unknown to us or has been forgotten, a carpet woven by hand, certain "useless" objects, two large sieves, fourteen illustrations, two pairs of eyeglasses, a video shown on a small monitor in which we also see images from "La cagna", the film by Marco Ferreri in which Marcello Mastroianni protects himself from the dazzling light of the Mediterranean with the glasses faithfully reproduced for the Oltredove project. Precisely the glasses, a device of defense and selection, that seem to have been donned by Alessandro Costariol, who looks at reality through two long, thin openings that allow him to crop the gaze according to unconventional proportions, framing small portions of space to offer us visions, through his work as a visual designer, that have the sensation of a remote future.

Global Warming – Too Important for Junk Science
Spare me Al Gore and George Bush on Earth Day. The topic is much too important for either junk science or simple answers.
And please no more hysterical articles about the glaciers retreating. Where my house is in Vermont was under a mile of ice around 12,000 years ago.
Last Ice Age (12,000 years ago)
With a few notable reversals, the glaciers have been retreating ever since; get over it. Through most of its history, the earth has not had polar ice caps. Global warming is NOT new and it does predate the BushAdministration (pronounced as one word, please).
Global warming won't be solved by the Kyoto treaty even if the US joined it and the joinees observed it.
But global warming may be accelerated by burning fossil fuels. On the other hand, we could go into a deep freeze. Worst of all, climate change – real change, not just a gradual creep – could easily happen in our lifetimes. Or not!
It's all about nonlinear change. Scientists used to assume that change happened at a pretty steady pace. Evolution. Geography. Climate. All stately change over long periods of time. Not! Doesn't happen that way unless you're far enough away not to see the messy details.
Continents drift but they do so in lurches called earthquakes. Evolution (probably) happens as sudden punctures of an equilibrium. And the climate lurches violently. In fact, climate is just weather writ large and, not surprisingly, is just as chaotic.
According to Abrupt Climate Change: Inevitable Surprises published by The National Academies Press and available free online: "Recent scientific evidence shows that major and widespread climate changes have occurred with startling speed. For example, roughly half the north Atlantic warming since the last ice age was achieved in only a decade, and it was accompanied by significant climatic changes across most of the globe. Similar events, including local warmings as large as 16°C, occurred repeatedly during the slide into and climb out of the last ice age."
They're referring to a very short period at the end of the Younger Dryas event (a pause in the most recent deglaciation). "The most spectacular aspect of the YD is that it ended extremely abruptly (around 11,600 years ago), and although the date cannot be known exactly, it is estimated from the annually-banded Greenland ice-core that the annual-mean temperature increased by as much as 10°C in 10 years," according to The Earth Institute at Columbia University whose site also contains the chart below.
Now notice something else. After this abrupt event, climate change has been relatively smooth. And it is during this relatively and atypically calm 12,000 years that we humans have built our civilization. No wonder we think that climate change is gradual.
Apparently, climate is now changing more quickly than it has in many thousands if not millions of years. The evidence for this is good although not indisputable because we don't yet have the means to make exact comparisons between antique evidence of climate change and what we're seeing today. Certainly the warming trend that has been going on for the last fifteen thousand years or so is continuing if not accelerating. (But it has been known to reverse; ask George Washington's troops at Valley Forge).
Moreover, carbon dioxide and methane concentrations in the atmosphere are at historic highs (as far as we know). Concentrations of these "greenhouse" gasses are associated with warming periods. What is less clear is how much they are a cause and how much an effect of warming – quite possibly both which causes a feedback loop we may be in today. For example, thawing of tundra releases greenhouse gasses which may then cause more warming and more thawing of tundra.
The melting of glaciers is also a positive feedback loop. The more of the earth that is covered with ice, the more sunlight the earth reflects. The more sunlight the earth reflects, the cooler it is. Conversely, as the glaciers melt, the earth absorbs more solar radiation and gets warmer and melts more glaciers.
What we don't know is what causes the earth to oscillate between periods of cooling – both long and short term – and periods of warming. We don't know if we're at the tipping point of a major change or just in a short term oscillation. We don't know if human release of hydrocarbons can cause a tipping point. We do know that it wasn't necessary to have humans around burning things to cause the last abrupt changes – it may be just our ego that makes us think that we're the cause this time. But we could be!
Chaos theory and the math of nonlinear change (and fractals) tells us that the cause of momentous change doesn't have to be very large at all. If a butterfly's wing flapped in China can cause a hurricane in Georgia, a bunch of brand new cars in India could cause global warming – or a new ice age. Or nothing.
Unfortunately, the civilizations we built during a period of relative climate stability are highly dependent on both current climate and current ocean levels – would be surprising if it were otherwise. So any change is likely to be overall for the worse – although a little rain in the desert wouldn't hurt. If change were as gradual as we are used to, we could probably accommodate it (peacefully might be another question).
If climate change is abrupt as it might be, we're in a hell of a mess!
This post is already too long so a subsequent one will explore what we might do given that we don't know whether the pace of global warming since the last ice-age is going to continue accelerating, whether we're affecting it or not, whether we CAN affect it, and whether we're in for more heat, more cold, or no more change at all.
What we can't afford to do is make policy based on hysterical observations that the glaciers are continuing their fifteen-thousand year retreat OR a complacent assumption that things will stay the way humans have always seen them.

Czech player Voracova says detention felt like action film -paper
PRAGUE (Reuters) – Detention felt like being in an action movie for Czech tennis player Renata Voracova, but the worst feeling came when she learned her visa would be cancelled ahead of the Australian Open, she told Czech media.
Voracova this week joined men's number one Novak Djokovic https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/djokovic-faces-third-day-australian-migrant-detention-covid-vaccine-furore-2022-01-08 in Australian immigration detention https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/australia-border-force-cancel-czech-player-voracovas-visa-report-2022-01-07 in a furore over the handling of the nation's COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.
She had entered Australia and played in Melbourne before being detained on Thursday, she said in an interview with news site idnes.cz, published on Friday.
"I can't say they were mean to me," Voracova was quoted as saying, when asked about being questioned by authorities. "But I was not prepared for the way everything played out. I felt like being in an action film."
"Several practices in quarantine are not pleasant. You have to report and everything is allotted. I feel a bit like in prison," she said from the Melbourne hotel where she said she is confined to her room, with the windows shut and escorts in the hallway.
"I felt the worst when they told me they would cancel my visa. Even the lawyer who was with me said I had all the necessary confirmation (documents) in order," she said.
Voracova said she got the exemption because she had recovered from having COVID-19 before Christmas.
Australia's government has released a letter showing it wrote to Tennis Australia, the local organising body, in November saying that prior infection with COVID-19 was not necessarily grounds for exemption in Australia, as it was elsewhere.
She said she does not oppose vaccinations but did not have time to get the shot after the last season, as she had planned to.
The doubles specialist said she was still waiting to leave the country after deciding not to appeal the decision.
Voracova said she hoped Djokovic's legal challenge against the rejection of his visa would be successful and that she came to Australia to concentrate on tennis, not visa disputes.
"I want them to let (Djokovic) play. We are athletes, we came because of tennis," she said.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany announced that she tested positive for coronavirus on Monday, the latest official among President Trump's inner circle to contract the illness.
"After testing negative consistently, including every day since Thursday, I tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning while experiencing no symptoms," McEnany said in a statement. "With my recent positive test, I will begin the quarantine process and will continue working on behalf of the American People remotely."

McEnany said that the White House Medical Unit confirmed that no reporters were counted among her "close contacts" in previous days, although she personally briefed reporters outside the White House on Saturday without a mask.
The press secretary tested positive following the diagnoses of the president and first lady, as well as Senators Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), Mike Lee (R., Utah), and Thom Tillis (R., N.C.), and other top Republican officials.
President Trump was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday to be treated for coronavirus. Doctors administered supplemental oxygen to Trump that day, and White House chief-of-staff Mark Meadows confirmed that officials were concerned about the president's condition.
However, Meadows said on Monday that Trump was "ready" to return to the White House.
"Spoke to the President this morning. He continued to improve over night and is ready to get back to a normal working schedule. He will meet with his doctors and nurses this morning to make further assessments of his progress," Meadows told reporters.

The first CAD-based prints are in! They're amazing! Here's a link to the 3D view and the full 6-page PDF file.
After seeing it in 3D, I'm having them change a few things, but overall, not much. I'm going to change the side door to have it's hinge on the left side instead of the right (so I don't block my window when it's open). The 4 main windows are being raised by 8″ to accommodate the 8″ raised floor I'm adding. They've modified the "concession door" concept covering the front windows to a "Cover" which hinges on the "side" (instead of the top), so I'm asking about more details on that. I rather liked the idea of having those doors hinge on the top so I could have them double as awnings. We'll see how that goes. Continue reading First set of prints are in!

3B Umpire Fieldin Culbreth ejected Mets Manager Terry Collins (unintentional interference foul ball call by Roberto Ortiz) in the top of the 4th inning of of the Brewers-Mets game. With one out and the bases loaded, Brewers batter Eric Sogard hit a 0-1 curveball from Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler on a fly ball into foul territory near the third base dugout. Replays indicate that as Mets third baseman Wilmer Flores attempted to catch the batted ball, he collided with a batboy, who was attempting to get out of the way. Initially ruled an out by HP Umpire Roberto Ortiz, the call was reversed to that of unintentional interference after consultation amongst the umpires and a determination that the batboy did not intend to interfere with the play, the call was correct.* Play was reviewed and affirmed by the UEFL Appeals Board (8-0-1), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Brewers were leading, 2-0. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 2-1.
This is Fieldin Culbreth (25)'s first ejection of the 2017 MLB regular season.
Crew Chief Fieldin Culbreth now has -4 points in Crew Division (-5 Previous + 1 Correct Call = -4).
*Rule 6.01(d), titled Unintentional Interference states, "In case of unintentional interference with play by any person herein authorized to be on the playing field (except members of the team at bat who are participating in the game, or a base coach, any of whom interfere with a fielder attempting to field a batted or thrown ball; or an umpire) the ball is alive and in play. If the interference is intentional, the ball shall be dead at the moment of the interference and the umpire shall impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference."
*Rule 6.01(d) Comment states, "The question of intentional or unintentional interference shall be decided on the basis of the person's action. For example: a bat boy, ball attendant, policeman, etc., who tries to avoid being touched by a thrown or batted ball but still is touched by the ball would be involved in unintentional interference. If, however, he kicks the ball or picks it up or pushes it, that is considered intentional interference, regardless of what his thought may have been."
^Roberto Ortiz is Calling and Fieldin Culbreth is the Secondary umpire pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-2-c.
This is the 57th ejection report of 2017.
This is the 31st Manager ejection of 2017.
This is NY-NL's 2nd ejection of 2017, T-2nd in the NL East (MIA 5; NYM, WAS 2; ATL, PHI 1).
This is Terry Collins' first ejection since July 30, 2016 (Jeff Kellogg; QOC = Y [Replay Review]).
This is Fieldin Culbreth's first ejection since August 3, 2016 (Terry Francona; QOC = N-C [Replay]).

Backwards Distilling Company is project out of Casper, Wyoming from the Pollock family. Their schtick is that each spirit is named for a circus character. Sword Swallower is a unique rum that's made with from evaporated, organic cane juice and a proprietary strain of yeast to create a style in the spirit of an agricole. Another interesting twist is it is finished in used tequila barrels.
"It's fun to sip something that tastes so very tropical that's made in the heart of Wyoming. Banana, mango, pineapple, papaya and vanilla take on some acidity with a little lemon. A pleasant twang of funky herbal notes like sage and mint cut through the fruitiness, and it finishes clean and sugary with just a touch of smoke. "


Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng has set the bar high for what will potentially be his first El Clásico against Real Madrid later this season.
The 31-yer-old completed a surprise move to Barcelona last night, joining the Catalan club on-loan from Italian Serie A club Sassuolo for the rest of the season. The Spanish LaLiga leaders have an option to buy the utility player at the end of the campaign.
Barcelona next face their great rivals at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in early March.
"Barça, I'm coming! I'm sad to leave Sassuolo but this is a great chance," Boateng told journalists before leaving Italy.
"But don't ask me about Real Madrid. I only want to focus on Barcelona and I hope to score at Bernabéu for the next Clásico," he added having reportedly claimed in the past that he would rather sign for Los Blancos than Barca if the opportunity ever presented itself.
Boateng has yet to taste victory in five games against Real Madrid over the years, for AC Milan, FC Schalke and Las Palmas respectively - losing three and drawing two.
The former Tottenham Hotspur's man scored one and assisted another in has last appearance against the European champions.

Dalla Riva's staff has installed a new sports floor with basketball signs made in the USA.
Another prestigious sports flooring for Dalla Riva Sportfloors. The Americans at the base of Aviano (Pordenone, Italy), deep knowledge of basketball, have claimed that it was the brand DR to characterize the surface of their gym that, after ten years of a previous installation, did not guarantee a homogeneous ball rebound.
The company of Montebelluna (Italy), intervened with its own team of technical experts, has provided the total removal of the old sports floor and replaced it with the model Solid Jump System in Hevea first choice, one of the most reliable in the Dalla Riva's range.
For obvious reasons of origin, users of the US military base wanted to mark the basketball parquet with NBA signs.

Thailand: One-year period of mourning declared
Crowds of people have taken to the streets wearing black to publicly grieve King Bhumibol Adulyadej's death.
A royal procession carrying the body of Thailand's late King Bhumibol Adulyadej travelled on Friday from the Bangkok hospital he died to the Grand Palace, passing tens of thousands of weeping people as the country officially entered a one-year period of mourning.
Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch, died in hospital in the capital Bangkok on Thursday at the age of 88.
He had been in poor health for several years but his death plunged the Southeast Asian nation of 67 million people into grief.

The streets of Bangkok were busy as usual on Friday morning, 12 hours after news of the king's death broke. Most people dressed in black but shops opened for business.
Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej dies at 88
Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler, reporting from outside the Bangkok hospital where the king was pronounced dead, said that "throngs of mourners" had shown up "wearing muted colours, mostly black.
"We are expecting even more people to come here," our correspondent said.
Later in the day, crowds of mourners lined up pavements along the route of a royal motorcade that would bear the king's body from the hospital to the nearby palace complex.
Thousands of others, many holding his portrait, waited at the palace compound, mourning the loss of the only king most have ever known and expressing anxiety about the future.
Some gathered outside the hospital fainted in the heat and were carried away on stretchers.
Phongsri Chompoonuch, 77, clutched the late monarch's portrait as she walked towards the palace.
"No matter how far it is, I can walk," she told AFP news agency. "We no longer have him. I don't know whether I can accept that. I fear, because I don't know what will come next," she added.

At the palace, the Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was to preside over the bathing of the king's body, a traditional Buddhist funeral rite.
Months of palace rituals are to follow, including at least 100 days of chanting by monks.
The cabinet declared a government holiday for mourning, but the Stock Exchange of Thailand said it and "other financial institutions" would operate as normal.
The stock market soared 3.7 percent at the open of Friday, paring huge losses built up through the week as news filtered out that the king was gravely ill. The baht climbed more than 1 percent against the dollar.
'Immeasurable grief'
A constitutional monarch with no formal political role, Bhumibol was widely regarded as Thailand's unifying figure on the nation's fractious political scene.
Since 1932, Thailand has witnessed 19 coups, including 12 successful ones. The latest was in 2014 and installed the current military government led by former army general Prayuth Chan-ocha.
The king stepped in to calm crises on several occasions during his reign and many Thais worry about a future without him.
The military has for decades invoked its duty to defend the monarchy to justify its intervention in politics.

Prayuth, the prime minister in the military government, said on Thursday that the country was in "immeasurable grief ... profound sorrow and bereavement".
He said security was his top priority and called for businesses to stay active and stock investors not to dump shares.
Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn is expected to be the new king, but he does not command the same adoration that his father earned over a lifetime on the throne.
Prayuth said Vajiralongkorn wanted to grieve with the people and leave the formal succession until later, when the parliament will invite him to ascend the throne.
"Long live His Majesty the new king," Prayuth said.
Thailand's strict lese-majeste laws have left little room for public discussion about the succession.
The military government has promised an election next year and pushed through a constitution to ensure its oversight of civilian governments. It looks firmly in control for a royal transition.
The government has set up a telephone hotline to help people cope with grief, a spokesman said.
IN PICTURES: The life of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej
King Bhumibol's picture is hung in almost every house, school and office. Until his later years, he was featured on television almost every evening, often trudging through rain, map in hand and camera around his neck, visiting a rural development project.
Thai king credited for fighting opium menace
His wife, Queen Sirikit, 84, has also been in poor health over recent years.
Thais around the world were also in mourning.
"I just know that I loved my king. He is the king that helped everybody, helping the poor, everything," Stella Boonyawan, a member of the Thai community in California, the largest in the world outside Thailand, told the Associated Press news agency.
"You'll never find a king like our Thai king in the whole world. Our king (was) the best," she said outside the Buddhist Wat Thai Temple in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
In Bangkok, Prayuth warned against anyone taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Politicians from all sides will be in mourning.
Thai stocks and the baht currency are likely to be volatile in the short term and consumers could cut spending, but assuming a smooth transition, major economic disruption was not expected, the Eurasia Group of risk analysts said in a report before the king's death.

Ambulance Driver Cited For Careless Driving In Accident That Killed A Tampa Man
September 28, 2014 by Helene Broberg
Ambulance driver Justin McKenzie has been charged with careless driving for causing an accident that led to the death of 64-year-old Jerold Hager. The accident took place on Busch Boulevard just after 9:30 p.m. Monday evening. According to an article, McKenzie was trying to maneuver around stopped traffic and hit Hager head on sending the man to the hospital where he somewhat unexpectedly died of his injuries Tuesday morning.
Hager was driving his two grandsons home from Boy Scouts when the traffic accident occurred. Neither of the children suffered serious injuries. The story says that neither vehicle was speeding at the time of the crash and that McKenzie has a clean criminal history outside of a 2000 traffic ticket for speeding.
A Traffic citation in Florida for a seat belt violation carries a $116 fine and in recent years the Florida legislature has increased law enforcement's authority to ticket seat belt violators. Seat belt violations are now a primary offense meaning you can be pulled over for that violation alone. In the past a driver had to be committing another infraction like speeding or reckless driving and then that person could be ticketed if they were not wearing a seat belt.

Careless Driving Leads To Truck Hitting Manatee School Bus And Injuring A Student
February 28, 2014 by Helene Broberg
The 51-year-old driver of a box truck has been charged with careless driving and driving a commercial vehicle without the correct license after he crashed into a Manatee County school bus. One student was taken to the hospital as was the driver of the box truck who caused the traffic accident, John E. Morgan. The accident took place as the school bus was on its way to Haile Middle School.
According to the story on the Sarasota Herald Tribune website, the bus was stopped picking up a girl when the truck rammed into the rear of the bus. The 12-year-old boarding the bus was struck by the door as the bus was pushed 45 feet forward due to the impact. Morgan claimed his brakes failed but the Florida Highway Patrol determined the brakes were fine following an investigation.
If you received a traffic ticket in Sarasota or Mantaee County and you are in need of qualified legal representation, please do not hesitate to contact an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney to discuss the matter.


We reviewed the financial condition of Loudoun Community Health Center as part of a nationwide series of reviews of community health centers that have received funding under the American Recovery Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).
Based on our assessment, we believe Loudoun Community Health Center is financially viable and has the capacity to manage and account for Federal funds and to operate its health center in accordance with Federal regulations. However, we noted certain weaknesses related to the accounting system, segregation of duties, procurement practices, adequate safeguarding of assets, and a whistleblower process.
When monitoring the Recovery Act funds, we recommend that HRSA consider the information presented in this report in assessing Loudoun's ability to account for and manage Federal funds and to operate a community health center in accordance with Federal regulations. In written comments on our draft report, Loudoun Community Health Center provided information on actions that it had taken to address the findings.

Q: How to write browser output to log file using PHP? I have the script is which runned by Cron jobs. So, while it runs, I can't see what output of the task is. (errors and so on.)
So I need to write browser output to log file using PHP. How can I do this ?

A: You can use output buffers  to write browser output to a log file,
Example:
<?php
ob_start();

echo 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit';
echo 'Cras in dolor fringilla est fermentum porttito';
echo 'bla bla bla...';
echo 'bla bla bla...';

file_put_contents('/path/to/log.txt',ob_get_contents());
ob_end_flush();
?>

A: The I prefer to do is the output redirection using bash features:
php myscript.php > logfile.log

But you need to know that PHP outputs errors to stderr. So, you need to redirect stderr too. Everything is described here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/redirecting-stderr-to-stdout/ . Some examples according to this page:
php myscript.php &>file

or
php myscript.php > file-name 2>&1

Also, you cannot use output control functions like ob_start() and friends alone, because some fatal error can abort output buffering. So, if you prefer PHP-only way, you need to define:

*

*Output buffering

*Error handler (or you can fetch errors using output buffering)

*Shutdown function - to fetch fatal errors

P.S. Usually, cron job`s output is written to crontab`s log

A: I use this script for error logs:
// Destinations
define("ADMIN_EMAIL", "nobody@stanford.edu");
define("LOG_FILE", "/my/home/errors.log");

// Destination types
define("DEST_EMAIL", "1");
define("DEST_LOGFILE", "3");

/**
  * my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
  *
  * Author(s): thanosb, ddonahue
  * Date: May 11, 2008
  *
  * custom error handler
  *
  * Parameters:
  *  $errno:   Error level
  *  $errstr:  Error message
  *  $errfile: File in which the error was raised
  *  $errline: Line at which the error occurred
  */

function my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
  switch ($errno) {
    case E_USER_ERROR:
      // Send an e-mail to the administrator
      error_log("Error: $errstr \n Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile \n", DEST_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL);

      // Write the error to our log file
      error_log("Error: $errstr \n Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
      break;

    case E_USER_WARNING:
      // Write the error to our log file
      error_log("Warning: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
      break;

    case E_USER_NOTICE:
      // Write the error to our log file
      error_log("Notice: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
      break;

    default:
      // Write the error to our log file
      error_log("Unknown error [#$errno]: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
      break;
  }

  // Don't execute PHP's internal error handler
  return TRUE;
}

// Use set_error_handler() to tell PHP to use our method
$old_error_handler = set_error_handler("my_error_handler");

It gives full control over what actions to take when an error is raised.

A: You could redirect the output of the php script in the cron instruction using the file redirection "php yourfile.php > logfile.log" or you can use php's file_put_contents to save to a file anywhere you would have called print.

A: $file = fopen("log.txt", "a");
fwrite ($file, $some_data);

A: firstly create javascript code in html page

var UI_LOG_ENABLED_FOR = 'ALL';

  var userTokensLog = UI_LOG_ENABLED_FOR.split(',');

  var logTextServer = [];
  if( UI_LOG_ENABLED_FOR =='ALL' )
  {
var writeLogIntoFile = function(type,text1,text2,text3){
  logTextServer.push([new Date(),type,text1,text2,text3]);
}
// define a new console
var console=(function(oldCons){
    return {
        log: function(text1,text2=null,text3=null){
            oldCons.log(text1,text2,text3);

            writeLogIntoFile('log',text1,text2,text3);

        },
        info: function (text1,text2=null,text3=null) {
            oldCons.info(text1,text2,text3);
            writeLogIntoFile('info',text1,text2,text3);

        },

            writeLogIntoFile('error',text1,text2,text3);

        }
    };
}(window.console));

If you have a PS4, Xbox One, or PC, you should really give Apex Legends a try. It's managed to hit the ground running, with very little in the way of server issues or other hiccups after the first week. It's clear Respawn has plans to support the title in the long-term, and the six Legends characters available from the start (with two more unlockable via in-game currency) provide enough variety to begin with. This will be the Battle Royale title I stick with for the immediate future, and I'm excited to see this game evolve over time.
GamesRadar+
An immaculate battle royale that could be sold at a premium price point, but instead is one of the best free-to-play games ever.
CGMagazine
With a level of polish unseen in the genre, Apex Legends is the best battle royale ever made.
Apex Legends is not Titanfall, but that doesn't mean it's not a special game packed with potential for greatness. I've put a lot of hours into Respawn's latest, and haven't had the desire to stop yet. The combination of character-driven powers, streamlined team features, and fantastic gunplay have elevated this unexpected spin-off into my go-to battle royale, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
PlayStation Country
There are many free to play Battle Royale games out there that are vying for your attention, but Apex Legends takes the genre to new heights with its superb gunplay, Moreish game loop and a superb communication mechanic.
Edge Magazine
Apex Legends arrives fully formed, feature complete, free and quite, quite brilliant, a game that pushes its host genre forward, refining and redefining its template in the process. [Issue#330, p.102]
Gamers Heroes
Though I entered a skeptic of Apex Legends, my experience with the title has made me believe that it the best battle royale game currently on the market.
Apex Legends has raised the bar for battle royale games. It minimizes downtime, places an emphasis on intense gunfights, and replaces nameless characters with a memorable bunch of heroes.
Digital Chumps
Apex Legends is one of the more entertaining, beautifully balanced, and gorgeous games in the Battle Royale genre. The fact that it is free is delightful, and a good move by Respawn Entertainment. I hope they continue this trend with future updates. I may yet stay in this genre for a while because of this game.
Apex Legends is a surprisingly different interpretation of the Battle Royale formula that introduces new rules for engagement while also refining many of the issues the genre has grappled with for months. It's ingenious tagging system and clever character abilities make it a multiplayer shooter that's easy to pick up and play, but also deep enough to sink hundreds of hours into for months to come.
Wccftech
Apex Legends is a surprise addition to the battle royale genre that rewards players for team play rather than playing maverick and gunning for high kill counts. If Respawn can keep new content and characters flowing, Apex Legends easily stands a chance at being the best in the genre.
Apex Legends is an expertly-crafted battle royale shooter, which is no surprise when you consider the development team behind it. It feels like the culmination of lessons learned from other games in the genre, almost as if battle royale has finally grown up.
Apex Legends is a superb game featuring an excellent array of heroes, tight, responsive gun play, smooth movement, smart communication system and an astonishing level of polish in a free-to-play game.
Apex Legends is squad-based battle royale done right, complete with cool heroes, a superb communication system, and polished mechanics.
Cultured Vultures
Even the most jaded of battle royale fans will find their interest rejuvenated by Apex Legends thanks to Respawn's attention to detail, superior gunplay, and fantastic innovations, though the loot boxes and progression system certainly need addressing.
Apex Legends is a mix of smart shooter ideas that makes for a competitive, team-based game that gets at all the best parts of battle royale while addressing a lot of the weaknesses. Respawn's intense focus on team play makes Apex more than just a worthy addition to the genre; it's an indicator of where battle royale should go in the future.
Apex Legends is the real deal. While it might not convert the PUBG faithful or fans of the candy coloured build-fest that is Fortnite, there's no denying that Respawn's latest effort is very special indeed...There are problems, and the balance issue that currently lets every character wade around like an unkillable superman is certainly something I want to see resolved, but the foundations of the game – detailed teamwork, slick movement and good weapons handling – are all present and correct. With two friends at your side, this could be one of the best free FPS games out there.
IGN Italia
Apex Legends is a team-based battle royale full of beautiful ideas and with a very intriguing tactical approach.
Apex Legends is probably the best battle royale out there: a competitive free-to-play shooter with very nice characters, each with different abilities, a huge map and a great gameplay.
COGconnected
If you're a fan of the Battle Royale genre or first-person shooters in general, Apex Legends is at least worth giving a shot, and even if you're not a fan of those things, try it out anyways and see if you fall in love with any of the game's charismatic characters.
Apex Legends is a new battle royale game from the makers of Titanfall with some cool new features. The game brings a mix of cool tech and a variety of characters. It does, however, only include one mode, which - to its credit - is fun to play.
Saying that Apex Legends surprised us would be an understatement. Free, colorful and nervous, this new battle royale video game has many good ideas that make Apex stand apart.
Apex Legends spices up the battle royale formula with hero-based shooter pizazz and its revolutionary pinging system, which helps everyone feel welcome to the team. Though its Season One rollout has been disappointing content-wise and its visual flair remains bland, Apex Legends still has the solid foundation necessary for a free-to-play shooter to survive in the long run. And with 50 million players reached in its first month, it's not like it's slowing down anytime soon. We're all jumpmasters now.
Apex Legends is the battle royale game players have been waiting for. It nails the movement and terrain traversal while ensuring weapons feel meaty and responsive. Even the inclusion of light hero shooter features melds surprisingly well with the battle royale genre. Respawn Entertainment has set a new gold standard for what players should expect from their battle royale experiences.
This is the battle royale genre pitilessly trimmed to its wildest moments, where every encounter is a riot of explosive jump-cut hyper-violence. It is not for the faint of heart or slow of trigger-finger.
Apex Legends is an innovative breath of fresh air for the battle royale genre. The class-based gameplay and focus on teamwork make for a unique and memorable experience, that will quickly earn it the right to stand toe-to-toe with other battle royale mainstays.
Apex Legends is an incredibly intuitive and well-thought-out battle royale game that is worth trying out for yourself.

In Progress & Unscored
Let's be clear: this is nowhere near the rushed mess that we got from 2018's Radical Heights. There's plenty of fun to be had here for the low, low price of free (or at least "free"). But it's also a really strange release from Respawn—as in, this is the first playable product they've released since Titanfall 2 in late 2016. (And it's apparently the only thing we'll see for a while, as the team has confirmed in interviews that there's no Titanfall 3 in the wings.) Just one map? Barely any new combat ideas? More originality and spark in its microtransaction store than its "TF2 but slower" gameplay? [Impressions]
It's compelling to see a top-tier developer make innovative game design tweaks that change what we've come to expect in the battle royale genre. We'll have to continue to play, but from my perspective, Apex Legends is off to a great start. [Early impressions]
Giant Bomb
Jeff, Brad, and Ben jump into Respawn's new free-to-play battle royale game.
Respawn essentially reinvented the wheel here, creating a system of communication that effectively negates the need for verbal comms. Competing shooters would do well to take note. [Early impressions]
Metro GameCentral
It's definitely not Titanfall 3, but it is a very well-designed battle royale game and perhaps it's for the best that they didn't try to combine the two. At this point in time it seems impossible to imagine anything dethroning Fortnite, but that doesn't mean Respawn's new game can't become a legend in its own right. [Initial Verdict]
My experience of playing Apex Legends is extremely positive. This is an exciting, well-crafted game, from a company that understands shooters and is clearly qualified to enter the battle royale fray. [Impressions]
Guns feel great to shoot and Titanfall's movement system carries over to a point. It's a cohesive free-to-play title that has its heart in the right place. With a Battle Pass to come and a seemingly fair microtransaction economy to power it, Apex Legends has all the means to be a game we hear about consistently for the years to come.
Is it a Fortnite killer? Probably not. But as battle royales continue to be de rigeur, the challenge is to offer fascinating twists on the template. In that objective, it is looking like mission complete. [First-Look review]
Apex Legends is super fun.
The Jimquisition
With its excellent ping system and fun combat, Apex has had me pretty bloody gripped.
For more casual shooter fans, the kinds who are drawn to Splatoon and solo Fortnite, Apex Legends is just about perfect. Instead of hearing some stranger yell at you for going the wrong way, you hear an in-game character suggesting a new route. It makes a big difference, and it turns an often intimidating genre into something a lot more approachable.

The game itself seems fine, though I am finding it impossible to enjoy it without a solo mode available. Being forced into teams sucks.

The only good battleroyale game out there that I enjoy, and it's free! The difference? well.. the emphasis here is on team (3 per squad)..The only good battleroyale game out there that I enjoy, and it's free! The difference? well.. the emphasis here is on team (3 per squad).. and even if you die from campers it's not as frustrating because you can still get respawned by your teammates at a beacon (and also revived). The hero abilities (smoke, health drone, and ultimates like artillery blasts, care package, etc) are a unique twist, but none of them are game changers, and quite frankly seemed a little bit uninspired. But I'm sure there will be more characters introduced down the line, (the grind does seem a little bit long to unlock hidden characters however).

Q: File.Delete Not Deleting the File I am trying to delete a file, but the following code doesn't do that.  It doesn't throw an exception, but the file is still there.  Is that possible?
try
{
    File.Delete(@"C:\File.txt");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e);
}

If the file can't be deleted, the exception should print out, but it doesn't.  Should this fail silently (as in the File.Delete method is swallowing any errors)?

A: Check to see that the file's path is correct.  An exception will not be thrown if the file does not exist.  One common mistake is to confuse a file named File.txt with one named File.txt.txt if "Hide extensions for known file types" is set in Windows.

A: Another possibility is that the file is still in use by some background process. Then it does not fail but it does not delete the file.

A: File.Delete does not throw an exception if the specified file does not exist. [Some previous versions of the MSDN documentation incorrectly stated that it did].
try
{
    string filename = @"C:\File.txt";
    if (File.Exists(filename))
    {
        File.Delete(filename);
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("File does not exist.");
    }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e);
}

A: Are you sure the file name is correct? The only time it doesn't throw an error is if the file doesn't exist. Stupid question, but do you by any chance have a typo in the file name? Or an error in the path?

A: Another example could be that the delete request is in a kind of queued state. For example when the file has been locked because it has not yet been closed after being edited by another process. If that is the case you can alter that process to close the file properly or kill the process and the file disappears.


PESHAWAR: The third match of the three-match T20 series between Pakistan and South Africa will be played at the Centurion today (Wednesday).
The match will begin at 09:00pm (PST). With the result of the series already decided in the favour of South Africa 2-0, there is nothing much left in the series. Proteas will try to clean sweep the series, while Pakistan will vie to avoid the same and earn a consolation win.
South Africa will aim to give chance to their untried players having already won the series and Willem Mulder will be certainly one of them. Pakistan haven't been able to play the series according to standards they set recently and lost both the matches in a disappointing manner. They were well set to chase the target in both the matches when Babar Azam and Hussain Talat were batting, but once they got out, the rest of the team collapsed.
Asif Ali and rest of the middle and lower middle order was particularly disappointing with their failure to finish the game. Usman Shinwari, who conceded 29 runs in the last over of the second T20, which ultimately cost the match, may be rested in the final T20 and Mohammad Amir is most likely to get the chance. The fitness issue of Mohammad Hafeez is still troubling Pakistan. Results could have been different in presence of Hafeez in the playing eleven. However, despite weakened South African team due to absence of key players, Pakistan couldn't capatalise and lost an opportunity to win a series in South Africa.
Shoaib Malik looked good in his captaincy in his first ODI, but after that he lost three matches on the trot. The uncertainty over captaincy issue was removed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday, with its chief Ehsan Mani announcing that Sarfraz Ahmed will be captain of the team till the World Cup.

Detroit Revitalization Fellows offer opportunities to mid-career professionals
Jessica Byrd
There's a common refrain heard whenever a major economic development is announced in Detroit: It benefits some populations, but not all. In the African-American community, that feeling of disparity is rooted in a reality we're still struggling to even admit in and around Detroit: How do we ensure that every economic success story in the city is inclusive?
One place it can start is with being intentional about inclusion. Detroit has the opportunity to write a different story of reinvestment and revitalization, in the African- American community and beyond. The story can be more diverse, inclusive, collaborative and equitable. This can manifest in the African- American community in many ways, including through initiatives like the Detroit Revitalization Fellows, a Wayne State University program.
Launched in 2011, the Detroit Revitalization Fellows places mid-career urban leaders with local organizations at the forefront of civic, community and economic development in our region. The Fellows program strengthens Detroit's talent pool, attracting and retaining some of the best and brightest mid-career urban professionals from across Detroit and the nation. The next group of approximately 20 Fellows will invest their time and talent in the program for two years, starting August 2015. Applications are open through Feb. 20.
The best way to drive the kind of progress that Detroit needs, while remaining inclusive and addressing disparities head-on, is to ensure that opportunities and approaches incorporate a range of perspectives. Revitalization Fellows — 48 of them over the course of the last four years — have represented three distinct groups of Detroiters: newcomers who have never lived in Detroit before, former Detroiters who are returning home and Detroiters who have chosen to stay and contribute their considerable talent in their hometown.
The program, currently accepting applications for its next round of Fellows, is reaching out, especially, to longtime Detroiters, who bring a critical perspective that only someone who has grown up or lived here for an extended period of time can offer. The program is actively seeking Detroit residents, particularly from the African-American, Latino, Arab-American communities, and other diverse communities in our region.
"Our Fellows work in partnership with the community and with longstanding organizationsthat have been doing difficult on-the-ground work, addressing some of the city's most complex problems, for years or even decades. They are here to support and build on those efforts, citywide," said Graig Donnelly, Detroit Revitalization Fellows director.
"It's been critical in each round of the fellowship to have the ideas and voices of longtime Detroiters in the room, and we hope to see even more applications from current Detroiters, as well as those ready to bring their talent back home, in this round."
Graig Donnelly
Revitalization Fellows are future leaders of the city and region who will help to shape the Detroit of tomorrow. They are a select group of accomplished, ambitious and hard-working mid-career professionals — usually with a graduate degree and between five and fifteen years of work experience — who engage in intensive leadership development while working full time at their organizations.
Many Revitalization Fellows have been key players in innovative projects that are changing the way redevelopment is done in Detroit, such as Motor City Mapping, which trains and employs Detroiters to assess the tens of thousands of vacant properties across the city. Or REVOLVE Detroit and SWOT City, which help bring community-minded small businesses into empty neighborhood storefronts and provide business owners with support and professional training.
Amber Gladney is a Fellow in the 2013-2015 cohort, working with Invest Detroit. It provides gap financing and Amber's duties include community outreach, special projects with a focus on the Urban Retail Loan Fund, and sourcing opportunities for grant funding.
"I think the gaps will begin to close, disinvestment won't be so stark," she said of the impact of her work. "Detroit should look different across the board, more stable, the edges smoothed out. That's what I'd like to be a part of in five years."
Amber Gladney
Detroit Revitalization Fellows has a strong commitment to connecting with neighborhoods throughout the city in a meaningful way. It includes downtown and Midtown, but also extends well beyond this small area. This commitment is rooted in the belief that true community and economic development must provide opportunities for everyone.
"We are committed to ensuring that our Fellows come from a range of cultural and professional backgrounds, and bring diverse work and life experiences to their roles," said Donnelly. "We share the belief that the Detroit of the future must be inclusive, that investment must extend beyond the downtown core, and that longtime Detroiters who have stuck it out must be supported as much as new businesses and residents who are now turning their attention here."
Guy Williams
Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice is an organization with a Revitalization Fellow in the 2013-2015 cohort, Sandra Yu. The organization was able to launch a citywide environmental agenda with her help.
"The investment in Sandra as a leader through the Revitalization Fellows yielded multiple layers of benefit to Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice," said Guy Williams, chief executive officer. "The program matches our culture of wanting to invest in people with our vision of making Detroit a global model and a place where all can live in clean, safe neighborhoods."
Williams added that employers have the benefit of being connected to each other through the Fellows network.
"Along the way, there were other unexpected benefits, including the support system and opportunity for networking that the fellowship provided for employers," he said.
For the 2015-2017 Revitalization Fellows, Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice is hiring a chief operating officer. This position, said Williams, will help the organization evolve nimbly as a best in class environmental justice group. The incoming COO will also enable the organization to update and deploy its citywide environmental agenda, ultimately leading to a livable city that is as economically strong as it is clean and safe.
"There's plenty of room for local people to step up and get some really great jobs here," said Williams. "They're well-paid and supported. People hearing about this opportunity should share it."
Mid-career professionals with the experience and passion to help drive progress in Detroit are invited to apply to be a Detroit Revitalization Fellow via the online application at www.detroitfellows.wayne.edu.

A couple of weeks ago there was a big old hoohar about Microsoft's Surface Pro, which would supposedly be arriving with very little internal memory available because the OS was meant to be taking over a lot of the internal storage. Well it turns out it's not all as bas as everyone thought! The picture above pretty much clarifies the situation and assuming you save your recovery image on a flash drive then you'll actually have over 5GB of extra storage on your Surface Pro then you would on a 128GB MacBook Air!
LG Hong Kong have posted an official confirmation that the 4X HD, as well as the Optimus L7 and L9's will all get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the first half of the year!
O2 UK has announced that they are currently rolling out the Andorid 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the Sony Xperia T!
Blackberry have confirmed they will not be offering phones for sale in Japan any more. Apparently the company cannot justify the extra cost in translating their OS' to Japanese because there simply isn't enough demand in the country, with only 0.3% of phone users rocking their Blackberry's! Blackberry have said that they will support current users for the foreseeable future though!
Three UK has announced that their new upcoming DC-HSDPA and LTE connections will be called "Ultrafast". Along with this there has been the announcement of the 'Ultrafast Galaxy S3', which is exactly the same as the HSPA+ version except it can take advantage of Three's new DC-HSDPA network!
Nokia's much rumoured device with the huge camera module is being touted as the Nokia 1000 by some sites on the internet. This has become relevant because the device has supposedly popped up on a list of devices destined for China.
Forbes have said that the Evasi0n jailbreak is the most popular ever with nearly seven million downloads in total thus far!
The BBC Trust has announced that they have approved a 12-month trial which will allow shows to be broadcast online before they are shown on TV! The trial will allow up to a maximum of 40 hours of shows available online before they are on TV!
The Nexus 4 has supposedly shipped over a million units now! If you believe that the XDA estimates are accurate!
And finally, Nokia have been award a patent for a phone which has a curved backplate and an overall rather pleasant design! Given that we are expecting Nokia to unleash at least one new Lumia device on the world at MWC wouldn't it be pretty sweet if they offered us something like this?

Agenda 21US News
Sustainable Development Is a Communist Agenda with De-Population As It's Goal
David Risselada March 9, 2016
In my book, Not on My Watch: Exposing the Marxist Agenda in Education, I discuss my experience being educated by the far left in a social work program in Broken Arrow Oklahoma. Everything revolved around the concept of social justice and the idea that the United States owes the world a "climate debt" because we have raped the planet of its resources in order to fuel our capitalist, industrial economy. In fact, at the end of the last semester, we watched a video teaching students that the only way to fight climate change was to give the United Nations global governing power in order to redistribute land and other resources. This plan is known as U.N. Agenda 21, or sustainable development, and it's a plan that is slowly stripping mankind of all natural rights.
Agenda 21 was originally signed by President George W. Bush in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit. President Clinton, in 1993, signed executive order 12852 which enacted the President's Council on sustainable development, forever entrenching us in the Agenda 21 plan. This executive order directed agencies of the federal government to work in compliance with U.N. directives while also coordinating with state and local governments to implement the plan at all levels. Today, sustainable development is a stated goal of nearly every community in America.
The United Nations is an organization based on communist ideals. In fact, the U.N. Charter is nearly identical to the constitution of the old Soviet Union. Communists do not believe in human rights in the same sense that Americans do. In America, the right to private property is a fundamental liberty that contributes to the overall growth and well-being of society. When an individual builds wealth it gives him the opportunity to expand that wealth while allowing others to benefit from its creation. Communists believe that land ownership is a social injustice and that the wealth created by such ownership is oppressive, leading to increased poverty and suffering. This is the basic premise of Agenda 21. Consider this excerpt from the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements-
Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and, therefore, contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.
Furthermore, the Conference on Human Settlements goes on to say that the public ownership and management of land is essential in ensuring that human settlements develop properly while adjusting for changes and movements of populations. Essentially, the U.N. along with the United States seeks to control all land based on the premise that only the state can best allocate its use in a fair, productive manner. The only problem is that this isn't true, and history tells us this.
The Soviet Union is one nation remembered for its efforts to control the land in the interest of the greater good. Joseph Stalin believed that if he could confiscate the land from the peasants and force farmers to work in "collectives," he could increase production and lead his country into prosperity. Not only were farmers forced to give up their land, Stalin also had ordered the more wealthy ones, known as Kulaks, to be eliminated as a class; they were either killed or sent to prison camps for reeducation. These people were targeted in much the same way President Obama targets wealth creators in our society. The end result was tens of millions of hard working grain producers being rounded up in box cars and either exterminated or worked to death. With the nation's most successful producers gone, grain production slowed significantly, resulting in famine. Farmers began to resist collectivization by burning their own crops and livestock, thus being labeled dissenters and traitors to the revolution. Stalin also had these people murdered. In the end, Joseph Stalin's collectivization led to the death of over twenty-five million people.
Joseph Stalin is not the only communist dictator who tried these ideas. Throughout the twentieth century, nearly one hundred twenty million people perished at the hands of communism's brutal, collectivist ideology. Sadly, it appears as if we are going down that road again.
The United States is now witnessing an oppressive federal bureaucracy known as the Bureau of Land Management force ranchers off of their land in the west, one of which they murdered. President Obama is pushing the ideals of the U.N. Agenda 21 plan by forcing sustainable development laws down the nation's throat. Many of these laws quietly went into effect at the beginning of the year wrapped up in a program known as The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Furthermore, the U.N. Climate chief, Christina Figueres, openly declares that a communist model of government is best suited to meet sustainable development goals and that the world must make every effort to reduce the world's population to combat climate change. Is the United States about to repeat history by forcing its own citizens off of their land and eliminating those that resist? That seems to be the general tone of this administration.

"Creed" director Ryan Coogler will direct Marvel's "Black Panther"
T'Challa's story is coming together for the big screen thanks to the director of the "Rocky" reboot.
by Andrea Sanchez
in Marvel
— 12 Jan, 2016
Marvel has confirmed that Ryan Coogler will direct Marvel's Black Panther. The film will be released February 16, 2018.
"We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker join the Marvel family. The talents Ryan showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct 'Black Panther,'" said Black Panther's producer Kevin Feige.
Feige made reference to Coogler's first two films Fruitvale Station and Creed which garnered critical acclaim. Fruitvale Station won AFI's Movie of the Year in 2014. Coogler also won the Austin Film Critics Association's award for Best First Film. Coogler's second film, Creed has surpassed the $100 million mark at the box office and Sylvester Stallone won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.
"Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know we've found the perfect director to bring T'Challa's story to life."
Can't wait until Black Panther hits theaters in two years? You can see Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War on May 6, 2016.
