Dangerous and unconstitutional acts of war in the Middle East
by Paul Findley
Well-known and outspoken former US Congressman Paul Findley talks about the dangers of military intervention abroad and how it can spiral out of control causing catastrophic and costly consequences...
Our initial involvement with only "advisors" in Vietnam illustrates how a minor military intrusion abroad can mushroom into a major national tragedy. We must not suppose that our recent war measures - our violent, deadly adventure in Libya, the lethal bombings by drone aircraft in at least four nations in the Middle East, and our current support of rebels in the civil war now underway in Syria – are trivial affairs. All are fraught with danger. They were undertaken and sustained without congressional approval.
The Libyan morass and fallout stay in the headlines. So do deaths by US drone war planes. The most recent estimate of total deaths is 4,700. Most of them were accomplished by invasion of sovereign territory and thus are acts of war. Each killing creates anti-American rage among Muslims similar to the anti-Muslim fury US families still feel a decade after 9/11 and one year after three US deaths in Benghazi. Drone killings are few in total when contrasted with the deaths of many tens of thousands of Muslims caused by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. They violate the Constitutional guarantee of judicial due process.
THE POWER OF CONGRESS
The control of war powers is imbedded in our constitutional history. In the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, the status of the King of England as commander-in-chief of the armed forces was conferred upon the President of the United States, but the King's prerogative to "declare" or authorise war was vested in Congress. The records of the convention show that the intent was to deny the President any power to use armed forces of the United States in military operations except to repel sudden attacks on American citizens, military, commerce, or territory, unless Congress should authorise him to act.
When George Washington was President, he considered it his duty to issue an executive proclamation of neutrality in conflicts between Britain and France in order to preserve peace, unless and until Congress should declare war. Not only did Washington keep us out of a war which was none of our business, but he was sustained by the Neutrality Act of 1794, which is still on the books today. It prohibits a private citizen from warlike acts against a foreign power with which the United States is at peace. When John Adams served as President, Congress authorised war on a limited basis against the French Republic until peace was restored by treaty. In his first annual message as President, Thomas Jefferson reported that he had ordered our navy to defend our merchant fleet on the Mediterranean Sea against North African pirates, but added that he could not go further until Congress had authorised him to make war. When Jefferson subsequently landed marines "on the shores of Tripoli," he was authorised to act by a resolution of Congress.
THE GULF OF TONKIN RESOLUTION
These vital constitutional principles were threatened at the time of the Vietnam War. In 1964, North Vietnamese torpedo boats reportedly attacked our navy in the Gulf on Tonkin, but were repelled, and President Lyndon Johnson ordered retaliatory air strikes on the ports from which the enemy craft reportedly launched their attack. Congress reacted by passing the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which approved the retaliatory attacks after the fact, and warned the North Vietnamese that the United States and our allies were prepared to react further under the SEATO Treaty. But it did not authorise the President to undertake additional military operations. At the time, I was a member of the United States House of Representatives, and the intent of the resolution is vivid in my memory. Before I voted, Gerald Ford, then Republican leader in the House, later President, assured me the resolution did not authorise war.
Johnson nevertheless used this resolution as a false pretext to order a huge build-up of American armed forces and fight a hopeless land war in Vietnam that cost the lives of more than 50,000 American troops. Thousands more suffered permanent disabilities. The economic costs were astronomical.
THE WAR POWERS ACT (1973)
In order to prevent recurrence of any such tragedy and to restore the intended meaning of the Constitution, I joined colleagues in Congress from both parties in framing the War Powers Act of 1973. I was one of those instrumental in securing its passage over the veto of President Richard Nixon.
The Act prohibits warfare by the President abroad without authorisation by Congress, save in very limited circumstances which the framers of the Constitution themselves recognised. If the President engages armed forces of the United States in hostilities abroad, he must report details in writing to leaders in Congress within 48 hours, and then terminate operations within 60 days unless Congress authorises a continuance. It is a necessary and proper law to implement and coordinate the powers of Congress and the President on the always-dangerous business of going to war. Since the War Powers Act of 1973 was passed, compliance has been generally satisfactory. Before our military adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq began, President George Bush secured war powers resolutions from Congress, supported by large bipartisan majorities in both the House and the Senate.
OBAMA'S INTRUSION IN LIBYA
When first campaigning for President, Barack Obama complained that Congress should never have authorised our invasion of Iraq, and on the promise that he would avoid needless military entanglement abroad he won broad support. However, in Benghazi, acting against the advice of his own lawyers in the Justice Department and the Pentagon, Obama ignored the War Powers Act and ordered a military intrusion in Libya without approval of Congress. He ordered bombardment of military facilities of Ghadafi's government. And after 60 days the President continued his executive war measures, although he had no congressional authority to do so. The House of Representatives then passed a resolution of disapproval, but Obama ignored it. In the wake of this military intrusion, America was confronted with the infamous episode in Benghazi, including the murder of the US ambassador and two of his aides. Questions concerning our involvement linger.
PENDING TROUBLE IN SYRIA
Recent statements by President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, suggest the US government may suddenly become engaged in another unconstitutional and counter-productive war, this time in Syria, a theatre in which, like Libya, America's national interests are not substantially involved. Moreover, the Syrian scene is so unsettled we might find ourselves supporting an unintended side of the conflict.
In an interview with Charley Rose on public television on April 26, 2013, Rogers stated his strong support for Obama to provide "non-combat" leadership - whatever that is - of insurgency efforts to topple the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. Rogers is misguided if he thinks Obama can bring down Assad without deploying thousands of US troops on Syrian territory. Rogers said in his interview that he was alarmed at unconfirmed reports that Assad's forces had used chemical weapons. Obama and Kerry have both said use of these chemicals by Assad's forces would be a "game-changer." These statements suggest dangerous and unconstitutional involvement by our government in the Middle East.
Congress must rise to its constitutional duty by promptly passing a resolution opposing war measures in Syria and prohibiting further deployment of drone warplanes.
Paul Findley served as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives (1961-1983) serving most of that time on the Forign Affairs Committee. He was a principal author of the War Powers Act and is the author of four books on Middle East policy. He served in the US Navy in the Pacific during the World War II and resides in Jacksonville, Illinois.

Nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is Small Business Saturday taking place on November 29th this year. It is a nationwide program to encourage consumers to shop small businesses for their holiday needs.
The idea, momentum and backing to recognize small businesses came from founding partner and international giant, American Express®. The movement is quickly growing: last year $5.5 billion dollars were spent at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
You can get into the action by going to Scottsdale's Fifth Avenue and SouthBridge shops on Saturday, November 29th from 11:00 am – 7:00 pm. There will be sidewalk sales, live music, art demos, refreshments, holiday carolers and jolly old Saint Nick, himself.
There's a special bonus for shoppers using their American Express card that day. AMEX is giving a $10 statement credit to card members who spend a minimum of $10 at a qualifying small business. American Express is also providing shoppers the ability to win an additional $25 American Express Gift Card.
Why should we shop small? The money spent locally generates tax revenue, which funds police, fire, recreation programs and libraries. Arizona's non-profit, First Arizona, reports that for every $100 spent at local businesses, $73 stays in the local economy, while for every $100 spent at non-local businesses, only $43 stays in the local economy.
While you're doing your holiday shopping after Thanksgiving, be sure to support local small businesses every where in Scottsdale – retailers, professional services, entertainment and restaurants.
Make ScottsdaleRealEstate your go-to resource for community events, information and Scottsdale homes for sale.
If you're looking to buy or sell a home in the Scottsdale area, reach out to me at 480-351-5359 or fill out the contact form below. I look forward to hearing from you.

George wins SLC weekly honor
Texas State quarterback Bradley George won Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Week Monday after completing 30 of 47 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns in the Bobcats' 45-42 win at No. 3 McNeese State Saturday night.
George won the honor in a poll of Southland Conference sports information directors. He is the third Texas State player to win league weekly honors this season.
Wide receiver Cameron Luke won offensive player of the week the week of Sept. 8 after making six catches for 121 yards against Southern Methodist. A week later, linebacker Courtney Smith won defensive player of the week for making 12 tackles, including the last-second game saver, in a 38-35 win at Northern Colorado.
George worked from the bench after struggling in Texas State's first two games, but returned to the starting lineup against McNeese State and tied his school record of 30 completions. His 365-yard passing output ranks as the Texas State's sixth-best single-game total in history.
George's first touchdown pass of 39 yards to Luke tied the score at 7-7 early in the first quarter. He also threw a pair of 11-yard touchdown passes on Texas State's first two drives in the third quarter to increase the Bobcats' lead to 38-14. His third touchdown pass to Luke was a 45-yard strike early in the fourth quarter to give Texas State a 45-20 lead.
Mack Dampier of Northwestern State was named the Defensive Player of the Week after he registered 14 tackles, including one for a loss in the Demons' 36-28 victory over Nicholls State.

–Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, speaking at the 2016 convocation ceremony of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, on Friday, October 21, 2016.
This essay is divided into four unequal parts. Part 1 provides a broad survey of corruption in the three arms of government, as indicated in Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's statement above and implied in Ahmed Joda's view of the ubiquity of corruption across the nation. Part 2 provides key explanations for the prevalence of corruption in Nigeria, while Part 3 examines key consequences of corruption. Finally, Part 4 proffers some solutions to the problem.
But, first, what is corruption? In broad terms, corruption is any form of dishonest, unethical, or fraudulent conduct by those in some position of authority or involved in a transaction. Bribery and extortion are examples of corruption. However, a close reading of the content of Joda's report and Osinbajo's convocation speech indicates that their focus is on political corruption, that is, graft and associated practices by which government officials illegitimately use the powers with which they are entrusted to appropriate funds and other resources for private use by themselves, their relatives, and their cronies. But political corruption is not limited to the misuse or misappropriation of public funds by public officials. It also includes nepotism, cronyism, patronage, and electoral malpractice.
Part 1. Examples of political corruption in Nigeria date back to colonial times. Historical records show that elections and population censuses were rigged in favour of the Fulani oligarchy and the North, respectively. It was also common knowledge that elections were often rigged to favour candidates within their regions or areas of influence. Ever since Nigeria attained Independence, no administration has escaped allegations of political corruption. Corruption was the bane of the First and Second Republics as well as every military administration from that of Gen. Yakubu Gowon to that of Abdulsalami Abubakar, each succeeding government being more corrupt than the previous one.
True, corruption might have reached a crescendo during the administrations of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, who virtually made corruption a state policy, by routinely disbursing material and cash gifts to earn loyalty, and Sani Abacha, who carted away billions of dollars to banks in Europe and the United States. It is also true that corruption has reached unprecedented heights since the return to civilian rule in 1999. By 2012, it was estimated that over $400bn had been lost to corruption since Independence.
The importation of any commodity by the government has always been used as licence for graft. It applied as much to cement importation during the Gowon regime and fertilisers during the Olusegun Obasanjo regime as to the importation of fuel and rice across several regimes. Similarly, various government initiatives designed to benefit the masses, such as the Operation Feed the Nation and the so-called Poverty Alleviation Programmme, were often used as conduits to reward cronies.
Recent revelations indicate that corruption escalated under former President Goodluck Jonathan as it did under Babangida. Under Jonathan, the Presidency, the legislature, and the judiciary allegedly engaged in various corrupt practices, as indicated by ongoing investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. But corruption goes beyond these three arms of government. Various public institutions viewed as corrupt include the Nigeria Police, traffic police, Nigeria Customs Service, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Part 2. The primary causes of corruption include lack of openness and transparency in public service; compromised legal and judicial systems; resource scramble by various ethnic and religious groups; low wages and poor remuneration system; poverty and low literacy; greed, ostentatious lifestyle, and the material orientation of politicians and public servants; and a permissive culture of corruption by the populace. Lack of effective enforcement of anti-corruption laws and pre-bargaining by elite culprits diminish the deterrent value of punishment, thereby reinforcing impunity.
Part 3. Corruption has adverse effects on people, the economy, and the society in general. Throughout the country, the consequences of corruption in Nigeria are evident in decrepit infrastructure (bad roads, inadequate and irregular power supply, lack of pipe-borne water, dilapidated public structures, and so on); substandard educational opportunities, including inadequate staffing, inadequate laboratories; comatose libraries, and understocked bookshops; poor health services; lack of proper justice; and lack of safety nets for the poor and the elderly.
At the personal level, these shortcomings translate to environmental pollution; substandard education; poor environmental and personal hygiene; rising unemployment; and untimely deaths. At the societal level, corruption leads to diminished respect for public officials; lack of faith and trust in government institutions; and voter apathy. The effects on the economy are equally devastating. They include withdrawal or decrease in foreign investment; lack of development; trade deficits; and large public debt. For example, according to Joda's Transition Committee report, the Jonathan administration drew down on the nation's foreign reserves; dried up the excess crude account; and left the nation in a N7tn debt.
Part 4. The critical question is: How does a society like Nigeria, where corruption is endemic, get out of the problem? In 2014, the World Bank suggested six complementary approaches to fighting corruption, which could be adapted to the Nigerian situation: 1. Public servants (civil servants, teachers, doctors, security agents, and others working for government institutions) should be well-paid to prevent efforts to supplement their income in "unofficial" ways. 2. Government spending should be open and transparent, with built-in mechanisms for tracking revenue and expenditures. 3. Bureaucratic red tape should be cut, by eliminating needless regulations and complicated processes, while also safeguarding the regulatory functions of the state. 4. Elimination of subsidies, which often lead to smuggling, artificial shortages, and black markets. 5. Participation in international anti-corruption conventions and be subjected to cross-border controls. 6. Deployment of smart technology to reduce direct contact between government officials and citizens could cut down on the opportunities for illicit transactions.
These approaches could form the backdrop for a comprehensive anti-corruption policy, which should also benefit from citizens and civil society organisations. I had expected that Prof. Itse Sagay's Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption would come up with the draft of such a policy document or at least provide the outline for one.
To be sure, there is general support for President Muhammadu Buhari's ongoing anti-corruption fight. At the same time, however, the criticisms of his approach are justified. At the moment, it appears that the President and the President alone determines which corrupt official to fight and when, partly because the fight is only top-down and partly because there really is no anti-corruption policy to which citizens could key into. It is a miscalculation to think that citizen participation could be enlisted through a slogan or TV advertisement alone. Efforts should be made to reach the grass roots through various avenues, including schools, churches, mosques, civic centres, civil society organisations, NGOs, and so on. Moreover, there should be a system in place for rewarding and protecting whistle-blowers.
The Buhari administration should be reminded that every administration before him had sought to fight corruption one way or the other. Until and unless there is an enduring anti-corruption policy that will be binding on successive administrations, the fight against corruption will continue to be subject to the whims and caprices of the President.

December 5, 2017 by Sue
Jennifer chose not to submit a photo so we created a collage of the counties where she has lived.
Name: Jennifer Lynn
County of Residence: Allegheny County. Went to college in Greene County and lived in Montgomery County, MD for a few years.
Pronouns: she/her
How do you describe your identity? bisexual
Please describe your coming out experience. Where did you find support? What challenges did you face? I was lucky enough to receive support from my family and friends. I didn't face any challenges once I came to terms with my sexuality for myself.
How would you describe yourself NOW in terms of "being out"? I'm very open about being out. I'm not currently dating, but I am open to meeting someone of any gender in the future.
Tell me about the first LGBTQ person whom you met. What impact did they have on your life? I grew up doing a lot of theater, so I was around LGBTQ people from a young age, before I really even understood that there was a difference. I was raised to be open and accepting of all people, but it still took me a while to acknowledge that I was bisexual.
Past or present, favorite LGBTQ character or creator in television, film or literature? Please tell us why. Sara Lance from the DC TV shows. She's a fierce badass who unapologetically beds men and women throughout time. She's one of the few bisexual characters who has been seen in serious relationships with men and women and at the same time, her sexuality is not a defining characteristic.
How do you stay informed about LGBTQ issues? Mostly Facebook and my friends.
Describe your geographical community. I live in the city of Pittsburgh and feel like it's pretty open and friendly. I haven't experienced any direct issues.
Describe your local or regional LGBTQ community. I am looking for opportunities to get more involved in my local community.
Help us continue to tell these stories. Donate to #AMPLIFY today!

Tell us about your access to health care in Western PA. Has it been LGBTQ competent (or not?) I haven't had any issues in this area.
Are there issues impacting your LGBTQ neighbors that aren't visible or part of the local dialogue? Not that I'm aware of
What would you like to see elected officials do to improve life for LGBTQ Pennsylvanians? We need protections so that people can't lose their jobs or homes because of their sexuality.
Please share a lived experience, anecdote or fact about life as an LGBTQ person in your community. It took me a long time to acknowledge and accept that I am bisexual for reasons I can't even begin to articulate. National Coming Out Day was approaching and I decided that I was going to finally officially come out. I had plans to go out with my mom, sister, and brother that day and they were the only ones that I wanted to tell in person. I was fine with everyone else finding out on Facebook.
We were in the car and I said "I need to tell you guys something" and they were making jokes and stupid guesses about what it was. I was so nervous, but I actually said the words "I'm bisexual" for the first time out loud and the response was "Yes, we know, and?"
I know that I am very lucky to have had such an easy coming out experience.
Beyond discrimination, what other barriers create challenges for your LGBTQ neighbors? I am not familiar with anything specific.
What LGBTQ friendly resources are available for your neighbors? I'm ashamed to admit I have no idea.
What is your greatest fear for the LGBTQ community in Western Pennsylvania? I am concerned about the LGBTQ youth who are growing up in our current political climate.
What is your greatest hope for the LGBTQ community in Western Pennsylvania? That we can be a sanctuary for people who are oppressed in other areas of our state that are less welcoming.
What can allies do to support your LGBTQ community? Vote for politicians who support LGBTQ equality.
How can gay men and lesbians support the bisexual, transgender and queer members of our community? By accepting us and not forgetting that we are part of the community.
What motivated you to take part in this project? I wanted to support the project because I think it's important.
Finally, what question should I have asked? Please also share your answer. Have you ever attended a Pride event? Yes, I have gone to the Central PA Pride festival a few times. It's a little smaller and less intimidating than the Pittsburgh one and I have anxiety in large crowds.
Thank you, Jennifer Lynn.

Experts call for multi-stakeholder Sierra Madre watershed mgt
Multi-stakeholder participation is crucial in managing the watershed of the country's longest mountain range, the Sierra Madre.
This served as one of the key lessons during the Water Forum Series 1 entitled "Revisiting watershed management and governance in Sierra Madre towards water security" held on Aug. 28 at the Lansigan Auditorium of the College of Forestry and Natural Resources (CFNR).
"It is very important to organize and strengthen the stakeholders; sa laki ng area ay hindi po pwedeng one agency or organization lang ang mag-focus on the whole issues and problems of the Sierra Madre," said Conrado Vargas, corporate secretary of the Save Sierra Madre Network Alliance, Inc.
The Sierra Madre, with an area of 1.4 million hectares, is stretched throughout 10 provinces in Luzon, from Cagayan in the north to Quezon in the south.
"Multi-stakeholder process [should be a] partnership between and among civil society organizations (CSOs), government agencies, and the private sector," Vargas said in discussing stakeholder mobilization.
In his talk about the Master Plan of the Cagayan River Basin, the country's biggest, Dr. Antonio Daño, director of the River Basin Control Office, said that stakeholders must understand watershed management.
"Understanding and appreciating watershed management resulted in acceleration of local initiatives," Dr. Daño said, citing past experiences in Cagayan, Iloilo, and Bukidnon.
"Creating watershed management organizations as part of local government bodies serves as a key to the success of implementing watershed management programs," Dr. Daño added.
Dr. Rex Victor Cruz, professor at CFNR, a watershed management expert, and former chancellor of UPLB, also recognized the role of stakeholders in addressing watershed degradation.
"This has been a romantic issue for a long, long time – to engage the different stakeholders. I think it still remains to be a pillar on how we can solve the issue," Dr. Cruz said. "Everybody should be involved."
Adelina Santos-Borja, manager of the Resource Management and Development Department of the Laguna Lake Development Authority, reiterated the need for an integrated effort in watershed management.
"We need strong partnership with research and academic institutions for informed policies and decisions and to come up with an appropriate watershed management plan," Santos-Borja said, suggesting further that the Sierra Madre watershed be managed on a per sub-watershed approach.
Abelardo Angadol, Jr., watershed management specialist at the National Irrigation Administration, presented the rehabilitation and reforestation of the agency in Pantabangan and Magat Dams.
After the discussion, participants representing multi-stakeholder groups in the Sierra Madre tackled issues and strategies in managing the watershed during a workshop.
Present during the forum was Chancellor Fernando C. Sanchez, Jr., who reiterated in his welcome remarks the importance of the Sierra Madre watershed in irrigation, industrial, and domestic uses.
Also present were Dr. Willie Abasolo, dean of CFNR, who set the forum's agenda; and Dr. Patricia Ann Jaranilla-Sanchez and Dr. Virgilio Villancio, over-all chair and capacity building committee chair, respectively, of the UPLB Interdisciplinary Program for Water, the forum's organizer.

This article helps you create a connection to link a virtual network to an Azure ExpressRoute circuit using the Azure portal. The virtual networks that you connect to your Azure ExpressRoute circuit can either be in the same subscription, or they can be part of another subscription.
Review the prerequisites, routing requirements, and workflows before you begin configuration.
You must have an active ExpressRoute circuit.
Follow the instructions to create an ExpressRoute circuit and have the circuit enabled by your connectivity provider.
Ensure that you have Azure private peering configured for your circuit. See the Configure routing article for routing instructions.
Ensure that Azure private peering is configured and the BGP peering between your network and Microsoft is up so that you can enable end-to-end connectivity.
Ensure that you have a virtual network and a virtual network gateway created and fully provisioned. Follow the instructions to create a virtual network gateway for ExpressRoute. A virtual network gateway for ExpressRoute uses the GatewayType 'ExpressRoute', not VPN.
You can link up to 10 virtual networks to a standard ExpressRoute circuit. All virtual networks must be in the same geopolitical region when using a standard ExpressRoute circuit.
A single VNet can be linked to up to four ExpressRoute circuits. Use the process below to create a new connection object for each ExpressRoute circuit you are connecting to. The ExpressRoute circuits can be in the same subscription, different subscriptions, or a mix of both.
You can link a virtual network outside of the geopolitical region of the ExpressRoute circuit, or connect a larger number of virtual networks to your ExpressRoute circuit if you enabled the ExpressRoute premium add-on. Check the FAQ for more details on the premium add-on.
You can view a video before beginning to better understand the steps.
BGP configuration information will not show up if the layer 3 provider configured your peerings. If your circuit is in a provisioned state, you should be able to create connections.
You can now start provisioning a connection to link your virtual network gateway to your ExpressRoute circuit. Click Connection > Add to open the Add connection page, and then configure the values.
After your connection has been successfully configured, your connection object will show the information for the connection.
You can share an ExpressRoute circuit across multiple subscriptions. The figure below shows a simple schematic of how sharing works for ExpressRoute circuits across multiple subscriptions.
Each of the smaller clouds within the large cloud is used to represent subscriptions that belong to different departments within an organization.
Each of the departments within the organization can use their own subscription for deploying their services, but they can share a single ExpressRoute circuit to connect back to your on-premises network.
A single department (in this example: IT) can own the ExpressRoute circuit. Other subscriptions within the organization can use the ExpressRoute circuit and authorizations associated to the circuit, including subscriptions linked to other Azure Active Directory tenants and Enterprise Agreement enrollments.
Connectivity and bandwidth charges for the dedicated circuit will be applied to the ExpressRoute circuit owner. All virtual networks share the same bandwidth.
The 'circuit owner' is an authorized Power User of the ExpressRoute circuit resource. The circuit owner can create authorizations that can be redeemed by 'circuit users'. Circuit users are owners of virtual network gateways that are not within the same subscription as the ExpressRoute circuit. Circuit users can redeem authorizations (one authorization per virtual network).
The circuit owner has the power to modify and revoke authorizations at any time. Revoking an authorization results in all link connections being deleted from the subscription whose access was revoked.
The circuit owner creates an authorization. This results in the creation of an authorization key that can be used by a circuit user to connect their virtual network gateways to the ExpressRoute circuit. An authorization is valid for only one connection.
Each connection requires a separate authorization.
In the ExpressRoute page, Click Authorizations and then type a name for the authorization and click Save.
Once the configuration is saved, copy the Resource ID and the Authorization Key.
You can delete a connection by selecting the Delete icon on the page for your connection.
The circuit user needs the resource ID and an authorization key from the circuit owner.
Search for "Connection" in the Marketplace, select it, and click Create.
Make sure the Connection type is set to "ExpressRoute".
Fill in the details, then click OK in the Basics page.
In the Settings page, Select the Virtual network gateway and check the Redeem authorization check box.
Enter the Authorization key and the Peer circuit URI and give the connection a name. Click OK.
Review the information in the Summary page and click OK.
You can release an authorization by deleting the connection that links the ExpressRoute circuit to the virtual network.
You can delete a connection and unlink your VNet to an ExpressRoute circuit by selecting the Delete icon on the page for your connection.
For more information about ExpressRoute, see the ExpressRoute FAQ.

In exploring the leadership practices of chief executives of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), this article finds that IGO leaders recognize themselves as agents and as brokers. This article produces findings from a multiple-case study of the executive leadership of NATO from 1995 to 1999 and of the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy from 1999 to 2009. The relationship between member states and the IGO leader can be conceived as a principal agent relationship where the agent plays a central role in framing a common vision and strategies, facilitating member states involvement in the strategizing process, and mobilizing external and internal support. I depart from a restrictive principal agent conceptualization of the relationship because I do not envision it as conflictive, but rather as collaborative.

"Lovecraft Country": Jamie Neumann, Erica Tazel, and Mac Brandt Join HBO's J.J. Abrams/Jordan Peele Series
Posted on June 20, 2019 | by Ray Flook | Comments
The road to HBO's upcoming thriller-drama Lovecraft Country now has three more names travelling it, with Jamie Neumann (The Deuce), Erica Tazel (The Good Fight), and Mac Brandt (Kingdom) joining the series. The trio are part of an ensemble cast that includes Courtney B. Vance, Aunjanue Ellis, Elizabeth Debicki, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Jonathan Majors, Wunmi Mosaku, Michael K. Williams, Jamie Harris, Abbey Lee, Jamie Chung, and Jordan Patrick Smith.
Adapted from Matt Ruff's novel of the same name, the project stems from Academy Award winner Jordan Peele's (Get Out) Monkeypaw Productions, J.J. Abrams's Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. Yann Demange (Top Boy) will direct and executive produce the first episode; with Underground's Misha Green writing the pilot and serving as showrunner, and executive producing alongside Peele, Abrams and Ben Stephenson. Daniel Sackheim (The Americans, Jack Ryan, True Detective) is set to direct and executive produce.

Lovecraft Country introduces us to 25-year-old Koren war vet Atticus Black (Majors), who joins up with his friend Letitia "Leti" Dandridge (Smollett-Bell) and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip to find his missing father. Atticus, known for always having a pulp novel in his back pocket, wears his heart on his sleeve despite the daily injustice of living in 1950s Jim Crow America. The trio must survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.
Here's a rundown of the current cast for HBO's Lovecraft Country updated to include Neumann, Tazel, and Brandt's characters:
Vance's George Black has always been more like a father to Atticus (Majors). Warm, funny, and well read, he was the first to introduce Atticus to the wonderful and strange world of pulp novels. As the publisher of the "Safe Negro Travel Guide" he's been on enough adventures to understand there's no place like home.
Ellis's Hippolyta Black is George's wife, Atticus's aunt, and a star gazer. She's been a housewife most of her life with dreams of getting into some adventures of her own, despite her husband's misgivings. Her itch for adventure will eventually, literally and figuratively, take her to the stars and beyond.
Williams' Montrose Freeman is Atticus' father: hard headed and secretive, he's always believed you can't live in a fantasy world, which is why he despises his son's pulp novels. Most of the books on his shelf are nonfiction, history, and political theory. The guys at the local bar call him a communist, but today we'd just call him conscious.
Mosaku's Rudy Dandridge is a hustler just like her half-sister Leticia, only her hustles haven't paid off. Her family ties are tested when she's presented with an offer she can't refuse.
Lee's Christina Braithwhite is the only daughter of Samuel Braithwhite, the leader of a secret order calling themselves the "Sons of Adam." She's gone to great lengths to earn her father's respect, to no avail. She's going to pave her own path to power, and she's going to use Atticus and his family to do it.
Chung's Ji-Ah is a seemingly naive nursing student who is thrust into active service when war breaks out. A rash of soldier disappearances suggests she is more than what she seems.
Smith's William is Christina's henchmen, lover, bodyguard, spy, and anything else she needs him to be when she needs him to be it.
Neumann's Hillary is an outdoorsy woman who migrates to the big city – where her dreams turn into nightmares.
Tazel's Dora Freeman is a spitfire personality and life of every party, who enjoys nights on the town with her beloved, boozy husband Montrose.
Brandt's Lancaster is a former thug who grew up on the streets of Chicago and is more brawn than brain. He's strong-armed his way to the head of Chicago PD's organized crime unit, where his corruption has been allowed to thrive.
Originally published in 2016, the overview of Ruff's novel might offer some insight into what viewers can expect:
Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, twenty-two year old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George—publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide—and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite—heir to the estate that owned Atticus's great grandmother—they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.
At the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn—led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb—which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus. And his one hope of salvation may be the seed of his—and the whole Turner clan's—destruction.

CMC's robotics program customizes knee joint replacement prosthesis
When Deidre Blake, MD, describes the new NAVIO◊ robotics-assisted knee surgery program at Cayuga Medical Center, she stresses three words: accurate, precise and customized.
Successful knee replacement surgery depends on shaping bones by millimeters and adjusting joint angles by fractions of a degree. The exacting measurements are unique for each person and allow a patient to walk without pain on a prosthetic joint that can be expected to last 10 years or more.
Dr. Blake is medical director of the Cayuga Center for Orthopedics and one of three board certified orthopedic surgeons using the new NAVIO◊ system at CMC. The surgeons have completed over 120 partial and total knee replacements since the first NAVIO◊ at CMC in May 2019. The technology brings an unparalleled level of accuracy and precision to partial and total knee replacement surgery that was previously available at larger hospitals many miles away from Ithaca. For patients, the technology can mean faster recoveries and less pain.
"I used robotics in my residency training and know the benefits these procedures provide patients, Dr. Blake says. "Having a robotics-assisted knee surgery program here advances the care our patients receive close to home."
Planning the surgery
A knee replacement procedure begins well before any scalpel is used. For a successful procedure, the surgeon must understand how the complex web of ligaments, bones and muscles in a patient's knee interact. That interplay affects the joint's structural integrity, range of motion, and the pain a patient may feel when moving. Knowing the intricacies of the joint allows the surgeon to plan the surgery, and the NAVIO◊ system provides unique features that help a surgeon develop a customized plan for each patient. The surgeon uses the NAVIO◊ technology to create a virtual map of the patient's knee joint. The mapping is done without exposing the patient to potentially hazardous levels of radiation from a CT scan or an expensive MRI that are used with other robotic systems.
Starting the surgery
The surgery begins when a surgical nurse attaches tracking devices to the patient's leg to monitor movement during the procedure. Next, the surgeon uses a hand-held instrument to gather information on the knee joint's anatomy that is displayed with extraordinary detail on a video monitor. The mapping is dynamic, and the video image updates when the patient's leg is moved to assess the joint from various angles and positions. The surgeon uses the mapping data to plan the surgery and conduct a virtual run-through before the actual procedure starts. When the surgery begins, NAVIO◊ provides real-time visual updates so the surgeon has a precise view of the procedure's progress and can adjust the surgical plan if needed.
Placing the implant
After the virtual mapping is completed and reviewed for accuracy, the surgeon uses a semi-autonomous robotic tool with a cutting tip to prepare the joint for the implant. As the surgeon removes millimeter thicknesses of bone, the NAVIO◊ unit calculates the cutting tip's exact location on the joint and displays it on the video monitor. The surgeon can freely move the hand-held tool, but the cutting action stops instantly if the tip moves outside the designated cutting space. The instant-response technology adds an extra margin of safety to the surgery. After the bone surface is prepared, the surgeon uses the NAVIO◊ system to assesses the location for the implant. Adjustments, if needed, are made before permanently placing the implant in the optimal position for the joint's range of motion, balance and stability with surrounding soft tissues.
Ending years of joint pain
Joint replacement surgery often follows years of pain for a patient who has osteoarthritis, the most common form of the disease. When patients push through their pain and continue using the knee joint, they may further damage and deform cartilage and bones making surgery their last best option for pain relief.
While the NAVIO◊ system is FDA approved for total and partial knee replacements, it was initially designed specifically for the more delicate partial procedure. Partial knee replacements are often less painful and heal more quickly than total replacements, and patients often walk more naturally after recovery. Cayuga Medical Center has traditionally performed few partial replacements because it lacked a robotics system, Dr. Blake says.
For more information on the NAVIO◊ program, call Cayuga Orthopedics at (607) 272-7000.

Honors at D'Evelyn
Written by Gina Coco, Steering Committee Chair
In 2013 the Steering Committee made a decision to eliminate the dual track course offerings that included a standard and an "Honors" course for English in grades 9, 10 and 11 and for social studies in grades 9 and 10. As intended when this decision was made in 2013, the current Steering Committee has been monitoring, researching and evaluating the impact of this change. As a result, the Steering Committee is exploring a proposal to relabel certain core courses as "Honors" and considering the potential weighting of grades earned in these courses on a 4.5-point scale (as a note, the district would have to be able to implement this policy in their system before it could be finalized, and this is still uncertain at this time). Currently, there are no "Honors" courses at D'Evelyn, and only AP courses are weighted on a 5.0-point scale. In order to keep our community informed, Mr. Griffin will present on this issue at the Accountability Committee meeting on May 7th at 5:30 pm. If this subject is of interest to you, please plan to attend.
The decision to eliminate the "Honors" track is outlined in this 2013 document and was based on several factors. Significant to the current proposal are the following key points. The 2013 committee found marginal differences between the 2013 "Honors" and standard courses. Further, the committee concluded that the standard courses for English, social studies, science and foreign language "are at a level equivalent to "Honors" in a contemporary secondary school setting."
Student enrollment and retention is one metric used to assess the impact of this policy. In determining whether or not the 2013 decision played a role in declining enrollment and retention, the Steering Committee looked at student and parent exit surveys. Unfortunately, we have observed an undesirable impact on our students as a result of this change. We also hear students express that their GPA does not accurately reflect the effort and content mastery required to complete the rigorous academic courses at D'Evelyn. Student post-graduate outcomes, student morale, and an appropriate representation of D'Evelyn coursework on student transcripts are all important to the Steering Committee. In order to address these pertinent issues, we researched the approach of other like-minded schools.
We contacted several Colorado schools with a similar rigorous curriculum and found that each of them labeled most of their core courses as "Honors". These schools included The Vanguard School, Ridgeview Classical, Liberty Commons, and Goldenview Classical. They shared that, like at D'Evelyn, their core curriculum demanded far more of students than the neighborhood school courses. They instituted the Honors label and weighting for those courses (many had done so in the last few years) to properly communicate to colleges the rigor of their courses and to reward their students for the work they were completing. These schools informed us that in response to introducing an Honors label and weighted grades, college admissions counselors were positively receptive; students felt rewarded for the work they were doing, enhancing their academic motivation; and parents were supportive.
The current proposal defines "Honors" courses as academic core courses taught above grade level in depth, scope of content and/or pace of presentation. As such, English, Science and Social Studies courses would be labeled "Honors". There would not be a dual track, rather courses would be designated as "Honors" when they meet the above definition in comparison with standard level core academic courses taught in neighborhood schools.
The Steering Committee is committed to fully vetting the proposal for the following reasons:
Our students' transcripts should properly reflect the courses they are taking. With over 4000 Colleges in the United States, allowing the majority to fully understand our curriculum is not possible. Better labeling of courses will help with this issue.
Our students deserve to be properly rewarded for the rigorous curriculum they complete while at D'Evelyn; Their transcripts should reflect their accomplishments.
Many scholarships rely on weighted GPAs. Individual students currently receive considerably less scholarship money because they are competing with students from schools with weighting for "Honors" courses. This could mean tens of thousands of dollars in merit scholarships lost to the student and family.
Some colleges look at only the weighted GPA, putting our students at a distinct disadvantage. For example, large state schools are far more likely to base admission decisions on the GPA stated on the transcript.
Some colleges use both weighted and unweighted GPAs in admissions' decisions, with both factoring into the process.
Our Students should be on a level playing field with students around the country; they should receive proper credit for the work they complete in our rigorous courses, as well as acceptance into colleges and receipt of scholarships that they have earned.
The Steering Committee is committed to making the best decision for our community, and we welcome input from D'Evelyn parents and students. Please attend our May 7 Accountability Meeting at 5:30 to better understand the issues, ask questions, and share your thoughts.
Peter Pampalone
Excellent change. Wish it would have come sooner
Lori Duwve
Hopefully there is a way to make this retroactive to benefit students who have previously taken the affected classes but not yet graduated.
April Larsen
This is a much needed change/reversal. Our students do equal or greater work than neighboring schools honors class and this should be recognized in their gpa! I support this change 100% and if I wasn't teaching I would be at the meeting tomorrow.

Detained refugees treated worse than criminals: lawyer
Tara Carman, Vancouver Sun 08.29.2014
Last year, almost 10,000 people, including asylum seekers, were detained by the Canada Border Services Agency, which has the authority to detain foreign nationals and Canadian permanent residents under certain conditions. File photo.
PHIL CARPENTER / The Gazette
Opinion: Putting Canada's treatment of asylum seekers in context
Sanctuary City: Easing fear or false hope?
Remittances: $24 billion a year sent home from Canada
A handcuffed man wearing an orange jumpsuit is escorted to a hearing by a uniformed guard. He has been transported from a provincial jail.
One could be forgiven for thinking that the man is a criminal. But in fact, such treatment is routine for those being held in immigration detention, even though they have not committed a crime.
Such was the case last week for Osman De Leon Reyes, a Surrey father of two who has no known criminal record. He faces deportation to Guatemala next week, where his family says he will be killed.
Canada has been criticized for such treatment — especially the holding of immigration detainees in prisons — by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, among other agencies.
"Detention of asylum seekers and refugees causes unnecessary suffering, with often serious consequences for health and well-being, in particular when people are held for long periods," the UNHCR's director of international protection, Volker Turk, said in a statement last month. "It also increases anxiety, fear and frustrations, and can exacerbate past traumatic experiences."
The University of Ottawa's Delphine Nakache levelled the criticism at Canada specifically in a 2011 report to the UNHCR, noting that the separation of criminal and non-criminal populations is a well-established principle in international law.
"In penal institutions, asylum seekers are held under circumstances inappropriate to their non-criminal status. They are subject to unnecessary and disproportionate restrictions on their liberty, which impedes their ability to seek protection."
Last year, almost 10,000 people, including asylum seekers, were detained by the Canada Border Services Agency, which has the authority to detain foreign nationals and Canadian permanent residents under certain conditions. The officer must have grounds to believe the person is inadmissible to Canada and that they are a danger to the public, a flight risk, unable to satisfy the officer as to their identity, or part of an "irregular arrival" such as a mass arrival by boat.
Any decision by a CBSA officer to detain a person must be reviewed by a member of the Immigration and Refugee Board within 48 hours, who then decides whether the person should remain in detention. The majority of detainees are released after the initial 48 hours, although the average length of detention was 20 days.
Nearly 200 of the 10,000 people detained were children, who are either housed with their parents at an immigration holding centre or separated and placed under the protection of provincial child welfare officers. Children are only placed in detention as a last resort, CBSA spokesman Tom Robbins said.
Fifty-eight per cent of detainees were held in a designated immigration holding facility and 42 per cent in provincial jails last year, said Robbins.
But there are important regional differences. All immigration detainees outside of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are housed in prisons.
B.C.'s only dedicated immigration holding centre is a 24-bed facility at the Vancouver airport, which immigration lawyer Phil Rankin called "the most isolated place in Canada.
"That's really a dungeon six or ... eight floors below the airport, with complete isolation and nobody visiting (the detainees)," he said, noting that it was the site of the suicide of Mexican national Lucia Vega Jimenez, who was awaiting deportation, late last year. If a detainee needs to meet with a lawyer or family, they are brought to the CBSA daytime holding cells in downtown Vancouver. But because capacity at the airport is limited, about two-thirds of B.C.'s immigration detainees are housed in provincial jails.
Such practices contribute to an increasing public perception of refugees and refugee claimants as criminals, Rankin said, even though Canadian law prohibits anyone with a serious criminal record from even making a refugee claim.
It is acceptable for immigration detainees to be interviewed for hours on end without a lawyer present. Some of the evidence used in immigration hearings, such as hearsay, would never be admissible in court, he added.
"I think the public has long ago ... come to see refugees as fake, number one, and criminals, number two," Rankin said. "I think you're far better off as a criminal in Canada than being a ... refugee in Canada."
The UNHCR reported a 28-per-cent rise in asylum claims in 44 industrialized countries last year, due largely to the civil war in Syria, but refugee claimants to Canada declined by almost 50 per cent over the same period, according to a recent report by the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. The decline was largely due to changes to immigration laws that make it harder for citizens of certain countries to make refugee claims. The same report notes that claims referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board, the number of refugee claimants accepted by Canada and the acceptance rate of refugee claims have all dropped in recent years.
The CBSA declined an interview about immigration detention conditions.

Linehalt is a powerful new bakugan with a specialty called the "forbidden power". It is believed to turn Linehalt into an infinitely powerful creature that could defeat anyone. Knowing this, Linehalt has become a very popular bakugan. In ball form, Linehalt has a human appearance similar to Aqwimos and Aranaut. He has a pop-up body with arms at the side and a demon like head with fangs.
He usually comes in Darkus, but there are colors like Pyrus, Ventus, Sub-terra; translucent green Ventus and BakuBlue are also available. Among all the colors, Darkus Linehalt by now is the most desirable version while Subterra one is probably least desirable (relatively). Linehalt also comes in BakuMorph (comes in ball, but parts are extended to look like action-figure). He comes with a DNA code as well.
In the anime, Linehalt looks like a devil human with dark armor and large dragon wings. In episode 7, he battled against digital bakugan: Akwimos and Gigarth. He managed to win the first round, but after that he lost the battle. Overall, Linehalt is a generally active bakugan that battles frequently and is victorious most of the time. In episode 25, Linehalt finally released his "forbidden power", and turned into what looked like a dragon creature. He was stopped by Dragonoid Colossus, but he had already damaged many Gundalian ships, therefore proving Linehalt was a strong opponent.
Unlike other bakugan, Linehalt's main battle gear is non-symmetrical, either on the left or right of him. Boomix belongs to Linehalt and is only a one-peg battle gear that has a single hole in it to be put on a Bakugan's side. It is a long blaster that gives Linehalt a lot of advantage in battle. Other non-symmetrical battle gear fit Linehalt are Rock Hammer, Vicer, and Lansor. However, Linehalt has both pegs so that he can fit other battle gear such as Swayther. But because he is a vertical bakugan, his stableness is low, and is not capable of holding large battle gear unless you put it on a gate card. Linehalt has two feet that pop out for support, and two horns on his head. In the Gundalian Invaders series, Linehalt is 900G, which is a moderate G-power. In real life, Linehalt is a very high level bakugan with powerful abilities and high G-power, possibly over 900G's. Overall, Linehalt is a bakugan I would definitely recommend to buy.

Sega Drops Publishing For Interior Night Debut Narrative Driven Game
Dennis Patrick / Updates / Detroit: Become Human, featured, heavy rain, Interior Night, quantic dream, SEGA /
If you enjoy narrative-driven video game titles then you may have been watching Interior Night, a new development studio that was crafted up by Caroline Marchal. If you're not familiar with the name, this was a former developer who had worked with Quantic Dream, a studio that has delivered several mature narrative adventures such as Heavy Rain to their latest release Detroit: Become Human. Now that the developer has created its studio, Interior Night, it looks like we're going to get the same style of video games that Caroline previously worked on. The problem here is that news recently broke that Sega is parting ways from the studio.
Sega was previously announced to be the publisher behind Interior Night's first video game title. As mentioned, this is a mature narrative adventure for players to embark, though there are not many details available yet on what to expect. We know that Sega was behind the publishing for this debut title, but now that partnership has split. Speaking with Mcvuk, Sega Europe head of content Bobby Wertheim stated that not every project is going to go as well as he would have liked. Caroline Marchal commented on the announcement to the publication as well and according to Caroline, the split was not due to creative differences.
Caroline stated that the split was due to a strategic reason. The relationship is still great between the two and the studio is still working on the video game. This studio also seems to have a publisher already lined up to help the studio. Right now the publisher remains a mystery but we will know who is stepping up the challenge in the future. This should come to great news as gamers that are looking for the next narrative-driven video game title won't have to write off Interior Night's debut release.
