Remarks by President Biden in Press Conference
June 16, 2021 • Speeches and Remarks
Hôtel du Parc des Eaux-Vives
7:20 P.M. CEST
THE PRESIDENT: It's been a long day for you all. (Laughs.) I know it was easy getting into the — the pre-meeting. There was no problem getting through those doors, was it — was there?
Anyway, hello, everyone. Well, I've just finished the — the last meeting of this week's long trip, the U.S.-Russian Summit.
And I know there were a lot of hype around this meeting, but it's pretty straightforward to me — the meeting. One, there is no substitute, as those of you who have covered me for a while know, for a face-to-face dialogue between leaders. None. And President Putin and I had a — share a unique responsibility to manage the relationship between two powerful and proud countries — a relationship that has to be stable and predictable. And it should be able to — we should be able to cooperate where it's in our mutual interests.
And where we have differences, I wanted President Putin to understand why I say what I say and why I do what I do, and how we'll respond to specific kinds of actions that harm America's interests.
Now, I told President Putin my agenda is not against Russia or anyone else; it's for the American people: fighting COVID-19; rebuilding our economy; reestablishing our relationships around the world with our allies and friends; and protecting our people. That's my responsibility as President.
I also told him that no President of the United States could keep faith with the American people if they did not speak out to defend our democratic values, to stand up for the universal rights and fundamental freedoms that all men and women have, in our view. That's just part of the DNA of our country.
So, human rights is going to always be on the table, I told him. It's not about just going after Russia when they violate human rights; it's about who we are. How could I be the President of the United States of America and not speak out against the violation of human rights?
I told him that, unlike other countries, including Russia, we're uniquely a product of an idea. You've heard me say this before, again and again, but I'm going to keep saying it. What's that idea? We don't derive our rights from the government; we possess them because we're born — period. And we yield them to a government.
And so, at the forum, I pointed out to him that that's why we're going raise our concerns about cases like Aleksey Navalny. I made it clear to President Putin that we'll continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights because that's what we are, that's who we are. The idea is: "We hold these truths self-evident that all men and women…" We haven't lived up to it completely, but we've always widened the arc of commitment and included more and more people.
And I raised the case of two wrongfully imprisoned American citizens: Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed.
I also raised the ability of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty to operate, and the importance of a free press and freedom of speech.
I made it clear that we will not tolerate attempts to violate our democratic sovereignty or destabilize our democratic elections, and we would respond.
The bottom line is, I told President Putin that we need to have some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by.
I also said there are areas where there's a mutual interest for us to cooperate, for our people — Russian and American people — but also for the benefit of the world and the security of the world. One of those areas is strategic stability.
You asked me many times what was I going to discuss with Putin. Before I came, I told you I only negotiate with the individual. And now I can tell you what I was intending to do all along, and that is to discuss and raise the issue of strategic stability and try to set up a mechanism whereby we dealt with it.
We discussed in detail the next steps our countries need to take on arms control measures — the steps we need to take to reduce the risk of unintended conflict.
And I'm pleased that he agreed today to launch a bilateral strategic stability dialogue — diplomatic speak for saying, get our military experts and our — our diplomats together to work on a mechanism that can lead to control of new and dangerous and sophisticated weapons that are coming on the scene now that reduce the times of response, that raise the prospects of accidental war. And we went into some detail of what those weapons systems were.
Another area we spent a great deal of time on was cyber and cybersecurity. I talked about the proposition that certain critical infrastructure should be off limits to attack — period — by cyber or any other means. I gave them a list, if I'm not mistaken — I don't have it in front of me — 16 specific entities; 16 defined as critical infrastructure under U.S. policy, from the energy sector to our water systems.
Of course, the principle is one thing. It has to be backed up by practice. Responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory.
So we agreed to task experts in both our — both our countries to work on specific understandings about what's off limits and to follow up on specific cases that originate in other countries — either of our countries.
There is a long list of other issues we spent time on, from the urgent need to preserve and reopen the humanitarian corridors in Syria so that we can get food — just simple food and basic necessities to people who are starving to death; how to build it and how it is in the interest of both Russia and the United States to ensure that Iran — Iran — does not acquire nuclear weapons. We agreed to work together there because it's as much interest — Russia's interest as ours. And to how we can ensure the Arctic remains a region of cooperation rather than conflict.
I caught part of President's — Putin's press conference, and he talked about the need for us to be able to have some kind of modus operandi where we dealt with making sure the Arctic was, in fact, a free zone.
And to how we can each contribute to the shared effort of preventing a resurgence of terrorism in Afghanistan. It's very much in — in the interest of Russia not to have a resurgence of terrorism in Afghanistan.
There are also areas that are more challenging. I communicated the United States' unwavering commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
We agreed to pursue diplomacy related to the Minsk Agreement. And I shared our concerns about Belarus. He didn't disagree with what happened; he just has a different perspective of what to do about it.
But I know you have a lot of questions, so let me close with this: It was important to meet in person so there can be no mistake about or misrepresentations about what I wanted to communicate.
I did what I came to do: Number one, identify areas of practical work our two countries can do to advance our mutual interests and also benefit the world.
Two, communicate directly — directly — that the United States will respond to actions that impair our vital interests or those of our allies.
And three, to clearly lay out our country's priorities and our values so he heard it straight from me.
And I must tell you, the tone of the entire meetings — I guess it was a total of four hours — was — was good, positive. There wasn't any — any strident action taken. Where we disagreed — I disagreed, stated where it was. Where he disagreed, he stated. But it was not done in a hyperbolic atmosphere. That is too much of what's been going on.
Over this last week, I believe — I hope — the United States has shown the world that we are back, standing with our Allies. We rallied our fellow democracies to make concert — concerted commitments to take on the biggest challenges our world faces.
And now we've established a clear basis on how we intend to deal with Russia and the U.S.-Russia relationship.
There's more work ahead. I'm not suggesting that any of this is done, but we've gotten a lot of business done on this trip.
And before I take your questions, I want to say one last thing. Folks, look, this is about — this about how we move from here. This is — I listened to, again, a significant portion of what President Putin's press conference was, and as he pointed out, this is about practical, straightforward, no-nonsense decisions that we have to make or not make.
We'll find out within the next six months to a year whether or not we actually have a strategic dialogue that matters. We'll find out whether we work to deal with everything from release of people in Russian prisons or not. We'll find out whether we have a cybersecurity arrangement that begins to bring some order.
Because, look, the countries that most are likely to be damaged — failure to do that — are the major countries. For example, when I talked about the pipeline that cyber hit for $5 million — that ransomware hit in the United States, I looked at him and I said, "Well, how would you feel if ransomware took on the pipelines from your oil fields?" He said it would matter.
This is not about just our self-interest; it's about a mutual self-interest.
I'll take your questions. And as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on.
So, Jonathan, Associated Press.
Q Thank you, sir. U.S. intelligence has said that Russia tried to interfere in the last two presidential elections, and that Russia groups are behind hacks like SolarWinds and some of the ransomware attacks you just mentioned. Putin, in his news conference just now, accepted no responsibility for any misbehavior. Your predecessor opted not to demand that Putin stop these disruptions. So what is something concrete, sir, that you achieved today to prevent that from happening again? And what were the consequences you threatened?
THE PRESIDENT: Whether I stopped it from happening again — he knows I will take action, like we did when — this last time out. What happened was: We, in fact, made it clear that we were not going to continue to allow this to go on. The end result was we ended up withdrawing — they went withdrawing ambassadors, and we closed down some of their facilities in the United States, et cetera. And he knows there are consequences.
Now, look, one of the consequences that I know — I don't know; I shouldn't say this; it's unfair of me — I suspect you may all think doesn't matter, but I'm confidence it matters to him — confident it matter to him and other world leaders of big nations: his credibility worldwide shrinks.
Let's get this straight: How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries, and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he is engaged in? It diminishes the standing of a country that is desperately trying to make sure it maintains its standing as a major world power.
And so it's not just what I do; it's what the actions that other countries take — in this case, Russia — that are contrary to international norms. It's the price they pay. They are not — they are not able to dictate what happens in the world. There are other nations of significant consequence — i.e. the United States of America being one of them.
Q Mr. President, just a quick follow on the same theme of consequences. You said, just now, that you spoke to him a lot about human rights. What did you say would happen if opposition leader Aleksey Navalny dies?
THE PRESIDENT: I made it clear to him that I believe the consequences of that would be devastating for Russia.
I'll go back to the same point: What do you think happens when he's saying, "It's not about hurting Navalny," this — you know, all the stuff he says to rationalize the treatment of Navalny — and then he dies in prison?
I pointed out to him that it matters a great deal when a country, in fact — and they asked me why I thought that it was important to continue to have problems with the President of Syria. I said, "Because he's in violation of an international norm. It's called a Chemical Weapons Treaty. Can't be trusted."
It's about trust. It's about their ability to influence other nations in a positive way.
Look, would you like to trade our economy for Russia's economy? Would you like to trade? And, by the way, we talked about trade. I don't have any problem with doing business with Russia, as long as they do it based upon international norms. It's in our interest to see the Russian people do well economically. I don't have a problem with that.
But if they do not act according to international norms, then guess what? That will not — that only won't it happen with us, it will not happen with other nations. And he kind of talked about that — didn't he, today? — about how the need to reach out to other countries to invest in Russia. They won't as long as they are convinced that, in fact, the violations —
For example, the American businessman who was in house arrest. And I pointed out, "You want to get American business to invest? Let him go. Change the dynamic." Because American businessmen, they're not — they're not ready to show up. They don't want to hang around in Moscow.
I mean, I — look, guys, I know we make foreign policy out to be this great, great skill that somehow is, sort of, like a secret code. Pract- — all foreign policy is, is a logical extension of personal relationships. It's the way human nature functions.
And understand, when you run a country that does not abide by international norms, and yet you need those international norms to be somehow managed so that you can participate in the benefits that flow from them, it hurts you. That's not a satisfying answer: "Biden said he'd invade Russia." You know, it is not — you know. By the way, that was a joke. That's not true.
But my generic point is, it is — it is more complicated than that.
David Sanger. I thought I saw David. There he is.
Q Thank you, Mr. President. In the run-up to this discussion, there's been a lot of talk about the two countries spilling down into a Cold War. And I'm wondering if there was anything that you emerged from in the discussion that made you think that he —
THE PRESIDENT: With your permission, I'm going to take my coat off. The sun is hot.
Q — anything that would make you think that Mr. Putin has decided to move away from his fundamental role as a disrupter, particularly a disrupter of NATO and the United States?
And if I could also just follow up on your description of how you gave him a list of critical infrastructure in the United States. Did you lay out very clearly what it was that the penalty would be for interfering in that critical infrastructure? Did you leave that vague? Did he respond in any way to it?
THE PRESIDENT: Let me answer your first — well, I'll second question, first.
I pointed out to him that we have significant cyber capability. And he knows it. He doesn't know exactly what it is, but it's significant. And if, in fact, they violate these basic norms, we will respond with cyber. He knows.
Q In the cyber way.
THE PRESIDENT: In the cyber way.
Number two, I — I think that the last thing he wants now is a Cold War. Without quoting him — which I don't think is appropriate — let me ask a rhetorical question: You got a multi-thousand-mile border with China. China is moving ahead, hellbent on election, as they say, seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world and the largest and the most powerful military in the world.
You're in a situation where your economy is struggling, you need to move it in a more aggressive way, in terms of growing it. And you — I don't think he's looking for a Cold War with the United States.
I don't think it's about a — as I said to him, I said, "Your generation and mine are about 10 years apart. This is not a 'kumbaya' moment, as you used to say back in the '60s in the United States, like, 'Let's hug and love each other.' But it's clearly not in anybody's interest — your country's or mine — for us to be in a situation where we're in a new Cold War." And I truly believe he thinks that — he understands that.
But that does not mean he's ready to, quote, figuratively speaking, "lay down his arms," and say, "Come on." He still, I believe, is concerned about being, quote, "encircled." He still is concerned that we, in fact, are looking to take him down, et cetera. He still has those concerns, but I don't think they are the driving force as to the kind of relationship he's looking for with the United States.
Jennifer. Jennifer Jacobs.
Q Thank you, Mr. President. Is there a particular reason why the summit lasted only about three hours? We know you had maybe allotted four to five hours. Was there any reason it ran shorter?
Also, did — President Putin said that there were no threats or scare tactics issued. Do you agree with that assessment, that there were no threats or scare tactics?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
Q And also, did you touch on Afghanistan and the safe withdrawal of troops?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. Yes, yes, and yes. Let me go back to the first part.
The reason it didn't go longer is: When is the last time two heads of state have spent over two hours in direct conversation across a table, going into excruciating detail? You may know of a time; I don't. I can't think of one.
So we didn't need, as we got through, when we brought in the larger group — our defense, our intelligence, and our foreign — well, our — my foreign minister — wasn't the foreign minister — my Secretary of State was with me the whole time — our ambassador, et cetera. We brought everybody in. We had covered so much.
And so there was a summary done by him and by me of what we covered. Lavrov and Blinken talked about what we had covered. We raised things that required more amplification or made sure we didn't have any misunderstandings. And — and so it was — it was — kind of, after two hours there, we looked at each other like, "Okay, what next?"
What is going to happen next is we're going to be able to look back — look ahead in three to six months, and say, "Did the things we agreed to sit down and try to work out, did it work? Do we — are we closer to a major strategic stability talks and progress? Are we further along in terms of…" — and go down the line. That's going to be the test.
I'm not sitting here saying because the President and I agreed that we would do these things, that all of a sudden, it's going to work. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is I think there's a genuine prospect to significantly improve relations between our two countries without us giving up a single, solitary thing based on principle and/or values.
Q There were no threats issued?
THE PRESIDENT: No, no, no. No. There were no threats. There were — as a matter of fact, I heard he quoted my mom and quoted other people today. There was — it was very, as we say — which will shock you, coming from me — somewhat colloquial. And we talked about basic, basic, fundamental things. There was a — it was — and you know how I am: I explain things based on personal basis. "What happens if," for example.
And so, there are no threats, just simple assertions made. And no "Well, if you do that, then we'll do this" — wasn't anything I said. It was just letting him know where I stood; what I thought we could accomplish together; and what, in fact — if it was — if there were violations of American sovereignty, what would we do.
Q Can you share what you asked him about Afghanistan? What was your particular request for Afghanistan and the U.S. troops?
THE PRESIDENT: No, he asked us about Afghanistan. He said that he hopes that we're able to maintain some peace and security, and I said, "That has a lot to do with you." He indicated that he was prepared to, quote, "help" on Afghanistan — I won't go into detail now; and help on — on Iran; and help on — and, in return, we told him what we wanted to do relative to bringing some stability and economic security or physical security to the people of Syria and Libya.
So, we had those discussions.
Yamiche.
Q Thanks so much, Mr. President. Did you — you say that you didn't issue any threats. Were there any ultimatums made when it comes to ransomware? And how will you measure success, especially when it comes to these working groups on Russian meddling and on cybersecurity?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's going to be real easy. They either — for example, on cybersecurity, are we going to work out where they take action against ransomware criminals on Russian territory? They didn't do it. I don't think they planned it, in this case. And they — are they going to act? We'll find out.
Will we commit — what can we commit to act in terms of anything affecting violating international norms that negatively affects Russia? What are we going to agree to do?
And so, I think we have real opportunities to — to move. And I think that one of the things that I noticed when we had the larger meeting is that people who are very, very well-informed started thinking, "You know, this could be a real problem." What happens if that ransomware outfit were sitting in Florida or Maine and took action, as I said, on their — their single lifeline to their economy: oil? That would be devastating. And they're like — you could see them kind of go, "Oh, we do that," but like, "Whoa."
So it's in — it's in everybody's interest that these things be acted on. We'll see, though, what happens from these groups we put together.
Q Can I ask a quick follow-up question?
THE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) The third one, yes. Go ahead.
Q Mr. President, when President Putin was questioned today about human rights, he said the reason why he's cracking down on opposition leaders is because he doesn't want something like January 6th to happen in Russia. And he also said he doesn't want to see groups formed like Black Lives Matter. What's your response to that, please?
THE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) My response is kind of what I communicated — that I think that's a — that's a ridiculous comparison. It's one thing for literally criminals to break through cordon, go into the Capitol, kill a police officer, and be held unaccountable than it is for people objecting and marching on the Capitol and saying, "You are not allowing me to speak freely. You are not allowing me to do A, B, C, or D."
And so, they're very different criteria.
Steve. Steve Holland, Reuters.
Q President — sorry — President Putin said he was satisfied with the answer about your comment about him being a "killer." Could you give us your side on this? What did you tell him?
THE PRESIDENT: He's satisfied. Why would I bring it up again? (Laughs.)
Q And now that you've talked to him, do you believe you can trust him?
THE PRESIDENT: Look, this is not about trust; this is about self-interest and verification of self-interest. That's what it's about. So, I — virtually almost — almost anyone that I would work out an agreement with that affected the American people's interests, I don't say, "Well, I trust you. No problem." Let's see what happens.
You know, as that old expression goes, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." We're going to know shortly.
Igor, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.
Q Hello, Mr. President. Hello, Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: You want to go on the shade? You can't — can you see?
Q Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: All right.
Q Yeah. So, I think you know attacks in civil society and the free — free press continue inside Russia.
Q For example, Radio Free Europe —
Q — Radio Liberty; Voice of America; Current Time TV channel, where I work, are branded foreign agents — and several other independent media. So, we are essentially being forced out in Russia 30 years after President Yeltsin invited us in.
My question is: After your talks with President Putin, how interested do you think he is in improving the media climate in Russia?
THE PRESIDENT: I wouldn't put it that way, in terms of improving the climate. I would, in fact, put it in terms of how much interest does he have in burnishing Russia's reputation that is not — is viewed as not being contrary to democratic principles and free speech.
That's a judgment I cannot make. I don't know. But it's not because I think he — he is interested in changing the nature of a closed society or closed government's actions relative to what he thinks is the right of government to do what it does; it's a very different approach.
And, you know, there's a couple of really good biogra- — I told him I read a couple — I read most everything he's written and the speeches he's made. And — and I've read a couple of very good biographies, which many of you have as well.
And I think I pointed out to him that Russia had an opportunity — that brief shining moment after Gorbachev and after things began to change drastically — to actually generate a democratic government. But what happened was it failed and there was a great, great race among Russian intellectuals to determine what form of government would they choose and how would they choose it.
And based on what I believe, Mr. Putin decided was that Russia has always been a major international power when it's been totally united as a Russian state, not based on ideology — whether it was going back to Tsar and Commissar, straight through to the — the revolution — the Russian Revolution, and to where they are today.
And I think that it's clear to me — and I've said it — that I think he decided that the way for Russia to be able to sustain itself as a great — quote, "great power" is to in fact unite the Russian people on just the strength of the government — the government controls — not necessarily ideologically, but the government.
And I think that's the — that's the choice that was made. I think it — I — I'm not going to second guess whether it could have been fundamentally different. But I do think it does not lend itself to Russia maintaining itself as one of the great powers in the world.
Q Sir, one more question —
Q One more on COVID — on COVID-19, Mr. President —
Q Sir, could we ask you one more question, please, sir? Thank you, sir. Did military response ever come up in this conversation today? Did you — in terms of the red lines that you laid down, is military response an option for a ransomware attack?
And President Putin had called you, in his press conference, an "experienced person." You famously told him he didn't have a soul. Do you now have a deeper understanding of him after this meeting?
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Q Mr. President —
Q But on the military — military response, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: No, we didn't talk about military response.
Q In the spirit, Mr. President, of you saying that there is no substitute for face-to-face dialogue, and also with what you said at NATO that the biggest problems right now are Russia and China — you've spoken many times about how you have spent perhaps more time with President Xi than any other world leader.
So is there going to become a time where you might call him, old friend to old friend, and ask him to open up China to the World Health Organization investigators who are trying to get to the bottom of COVID-19?
THE PRESIDENT: Let's get something straight. We know each other well; we're not old friends. It's just pure business.
Q So, I guess, my question would be that you've said that you were going to press China. You signed on to the G7 communiqué that said you — the G7 were calling on China to open up to let the investigators in. But China basically says they don't want to be interfered with anymore. So, what happens now?
THE PRESIDENT: The impact — the world's attitude toward China as it develops. China is trying very hard to project itself as a responsible and — and a very, very forthcoming nation; that they are trying very hard to talk about how they're taking and helping the world in terms of COVID-19 and vaccines. And they're trying very hard.
Look, certain things you don't have to explain to the people of the world. They see the results. Is China really actually trying to get to the bottom of this?
One thing we did discuss, as I told you, in the EU and at the G7 and with NATO: What we should be doing and what I'm going to make an effort to do is rally the world to work on what is going to be the physical mechanism available to detect, early on, the next pandemic and have a mechanism by which we can respond to it and respond to it early. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. And we need to do that.
Q Any progress on the detained Americans, sir?
Q What did Putin say about Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed?
Q Sir, what do you say to the families of the detained Americans?
Q President Biden, why are you so confident Russia —
THE PRESIDENT: The families of the detained Americans, I have hope for.
Q Say it again; we can't hear you.
THE PRESIDENT: I said the families of the detained Americans came up and we discussed it. We're going to follow through with that discussion. I am — I am not going to walk away on that issue.
Q Why are you so confident he'll change his behavior, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm not confident he'll change his behavior. Where the hell — what do you do all the time? When did I say I was confident? I said —
Q You said in the next six months you'll be able to determine —
THE PRESIDENT: I said — what I said was — let's get it straight. I said: What will change their behavior is if the rest of world reacts to them and it diminishes their standing in the world. I'm not confident of anything; I'm just stating a fact.
Q But given his past behavior has not changed and, in that press conference, after sitting down with you for several hours, he denied any involvement in cyberattacks; he downplayed human rights abuses; he even refused to say Aleksey Navalny's name. So how does that account to a constructive meeting, as President — President Putin framed it?
THE PRESIDENT: If you don't understand that, you're in the wrong business.

Ask about our Lease Me, Keep Me Special, call for details!!!
I had a really good experience during my 3 year stay at this apartment complex. From my past experiences of living in apartments, I can say that the best part is the staff who works there. They actually want to help out the tenants and are not looking to avoid work or look for shortcuts. Maintenance happens as soon as you report an issue. Timely routine maintenance (smoke alarms, pest control etc) is also always carried out efficiently. The property is well maintained and has a weekly cleaning schedule too (hallways, lawns, laundry rooms etc). Melissa is an absolute pleasure to work with and is always willing to help out in her capacity. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a quiet apartment complex with good people to work with.
Thank you for the great feedback and recommendation! Feel free to reach out to us if you need anything. Have a wonderful day.
I really love my little 3 room apt, realize that this whole complex is extremely old however, I am quite disappointment with the carpeting; over painted base board heating units that are missing parts (who paints and paints base board heating units over and over again.) Windows need replacing and some of the bathroom tiles are cracked; the ceiling is bubbling above the shower and the medicine cabinet mirror is discoloring and extremely old; for the rent I pay, it is way to much $$ for this apt.
The apartments are very big, but they are also expensive. I have only once had a problem that wasn't resolved immediately by the staff. The air conditioning units work well in the room that they are in, but they do not reach into the bedroom very effectively without making the other room freezing. There are some issues with bugs, but not anything excessive. A lot of residents do not clean up after their dogs, so it is a mess outside. The price for having a pet increased also.
Location is good, however the apartments are not sound proof; you can hear your upstairs tenants walking/kids running and in my situation, someone snoring at night. also the apartment I rent has the boiler/room underneath me, that creates loud noise on the bedroom walls which does not let you sleep well. Very hot in the summer months.
I'm interested in Forest Park. Please send me current availability and additional details.

Child Abuse Hotline Ad Uses Photographic Trick That Makes It Visible Only To Children
This Child Abuse Ad Is Visible Only To Children
Betsy Isaacson
May 6, 2013, 03:13 PM EDT | Updated Dec 6, 2017
How can organizations aimed at putting an end to child abuse send a message to children without also tipping off adults? It might be as simple as creating an ad that only children can see.
A Spanish organization called Fundación ANAR, or Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk, created a bus-stop advertisement in April that features the group's hotline number for children to report abuse. But by using a process called lenticular photography, the company made the hotline number, and much of the ad's content, visible only to those under a certain height -- presumably children.
Lenticular photography allows companies to create an image in a way that lets viewers see one of several different photos, depending on where they're standing. In the case of ANAR's ad, anyone taller than 4 feet 5 inches -- the average height of a 10-year-old, according to the group -- would see a picture of a boy with an unmarked face and the following message: "Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it." Anyone under that height would see an image of the boy with a bruised face, the organization's hotline number (116-111) in white text, and the message, "If somebody hurts you, phone us and we'll help you."
Evidence suggests that in the U.S., it's a difficult task to get more abused children to contact authorities. According to the Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect, the majority of reports of child abuse come from "mandated reporters," those in professions required by law to report signs of abuse if they see them.
But the campaign has succeeded in spreading awareness, which is what its creators wanted most. The YouTube video for the company's ad campaign says, "thanks to the publicity on media and all the comments on social networks, the campaign has achieved its main objective: Raise awareness of the Foundation and [its] phone number 116-111 for children and teenagers at risk."

Q: .net how to set the the response body when the authorization failed? i have to show a custom(json) response body when the authorization fails in my API. By default i have this message : Unauthorized. But i would like to return a json containing a customized code error, a message and some other details. Here is an example of what i did.
                o.Events = new JwtBearerEvents
            {
                OnChallenge = async (context) =>
                {
                    if (!context.Request.Headers.ContainsKey("Authorization"))
                    {
                        context.Response.HttpContext.Features.Get<IHttpResponseFeature>().ReasonPhrase = "The authorization parameter is not given or the token passed is empty";
                    }
                },
                OnAuthenticationFailed = async (context) =>
                {
                    await context.HttpContext.Response.WriteAsync("ramses");
                    context.Response.HttpContext.Features.Get<IHttpResponseFeature>().ReasonPhrase = "The token is invalid or has expired";
                },
            };

i tried with WriteAsync method of HttpContext.Response but the message i defined does not appear, only the reason phrase appears correctly.
here is the image of the result in my API.

i specify this code in situated in startup.cs on jwtBearer configuration

A: I've used this in my code and it works very well
.AddJwtBearer(o => {

   o.RequireHttpsMetadata = false;
   o.SaveToken = false;
   o.TokenValidationParameters = tokenValidationParameters;

   o.Events = new JwtBearerEvents {

        OnAuthenticationFailed = c => {

            c.NoResult();
            c.Response.StatusCode = 500;
            c.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

            return c.Response.WriteAsync(c.Exception.ToString());
        },

        OnChallenge = context => {

            context.HandleResponse();
            context.Response.StatusCode = 401;
            context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";

            var result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new {
               status = "un-authorized",
               message = "un-authorized"
            });

            return context.Response.WriteAsync(result);
        },

        OnForbidden = context => {

            context.Response.StatusCode = 403;
            context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";

            var result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new {
               status = "un-authorized",
               message = "un-authorized"
            });

            return context.Response.WriteAsync(result);
        }

   };
});

ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: It is. The big thing we are waiting for, Miguel, as we waited for, that is something that almost never happens in this country, going to be a major question in Baltimore.
Thanks For joining us. Our breaking news coverage continues with Anderson.
[20:00:13] ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Erin, thanks very much. Good evening, everyone.
A week after anger boiled over in Baltimore, there is celebration if you just saw tonight, in the streets. People marching as they have all week. Thousands, we are told, heading to western district police station marching but in a very different spirit than we've seen before, savoring, and to many, an unexpected victory as they see it.
As you might imagine, others see what happened today with a different mix of thoughts and feelings now that six members of the Baltimore police department, as you see them there, have been charged with felonies, three with manslaughter and one with manslaughter and second-degree murder in the death of Freddie Gray.
The 35-year-old state's attorney who brought the charges herself, the daughter of two police officers is in the spotlight tonight. She is also on the spot accused by police supporters and surrogates of rushing to justice and have -- having a conflict of interest. She, of course, disagrees and seems tightly focus on something that people out here have been demanding, for that any citizen, anywhere, under any circumstances expects, accountability.
When asked today how she plans to deliver accountability, Miss Mosby had a blunt forward answer, you are getting it today, she said. Tonight, as we look at the charges she brought, we'll keeping an eye, one eye, on the courtroom and the facts of the case and another on the bigger picture in Baltimore and beyond.
I want to begin with our Jason Carroll who is on the streets of Baltimore tonight.
Jason, a very different scene on the streets of Baltimore all throughout the day since the announcement was made today.
JASON CARROLL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, I have to tell you, you know, several days ago it what a -- it was a much different experience than what we are experiencing out here. Right now, we got thousands of people who are weaving their way -- watch your back -- watch your back -- weaving their way through MLK boulevard here, through traffic. As you can these cars here, people here chanting, screaming, cars honking in solidarity for these marchers who would be going throughout the city. They marched past the interstate you know very well, Anderson, peninsula and north. And then they marched past the point where Freddie Gray was initially stopped by those six officers. Then to point where he was arrested. Then on to the police station. And now, it appears we may be marching our way back towards city hall.
I imagine a number of people here in the crowd are going to be very happy to see the booking photos of the six officers released. It is a feeling of elation but also skepticism as some people are saying, this is just one step in the justice process --Anderson.
COOPER: Jason, one step indeed and a step that was taken much quicker than many people imagined it would. Few people predicted, as you know, that today charges would be announced.
I want to go to our to Miguel Marquez who is also on the move with protesters.
Miguel, I was out by the CVS earlier today in Baltimore. There was a heavy police presence as well as National Guard presence there. While people were beginning to celebrate, I'm beginning to wondering, are there a lot of people on the streets following the protesters o is that because of the change in mood, not quite so monitored?
MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We've seen no police today. We saw some yesterday for the first time and this -- this protest is absolutely amazing. I mean, look at this, Anderson. The truck there that you see in front of you, is actually going the wrong way down MLK boulevard here. There are thousands of protesters in this crowd. The three different protests descended on Penn and north. Hello, hello. I know half of the people of this crowd now, it seems.
Three different protests all to Penn and north and now they are snaking their way sort of toward downtown literally taking over streets of the city. And everywhere you go -- this. The honking. Everybody showing support for this. It is a sight to see.
One thing that everybody I have spoken to has said though, just like Jason has heard, that today is one day and it is a day for excitement, but they are waiting for the possibility of that trial, and what happens to those six officers, whether or not they actually serve any time -- Anderson.
COOPER: And the state's attorney pointing out the investigation continues and will continue. There is still evidence still to be gathered. And Miguel Marquez, thank you. We are going to check in with you through the next two hours that we're on the air, through the 10:00 hour.
Earlier this evening, Freddie Gray's stepfather, Richard Shipley, spoke to reports saying the family is satisfied with the charges today.
RICHARD SHIPLEY, FREDDIE GRAY'S STEPFATHER: Whoever comes to our city, a city that we love, a city that we live in, come in peace. And if you are not coming in peace, please don't come at all. Because this city needs to get back to work.
[20:05:06] COOPER: Reaction from the family tonight.
Now, a quick look at how we got here. Our justice correspondent Pamela Brown has that.
MARILYN MOSBY, BALTIMORE ATTORNEY GENERAL: We have probable cause to file criminal charges.
PAMELA BROWN, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby not mincing words, saying even before police officers placed Freddie Gray inside the police van, he never should have been arrested.
MOSBY: No crime had been committed by Mr. Gray.
BROWN: Gray was found carrying a knife but the prosecutor said it was legal.
MOSBY: Mr. Gray was placed in a prone position with his arms handcuffed behind his back. It was this time that Mr. Gray indicated that he could not breathe and requested an inhaler to no avail.
BROWN: Mosby said not only did the officers not fail to get Gray medical help, they made another grave mistake when they put him into this police van.
MOSBY: At no point was he secured by a seat belt while in the wagon, contrary to a BPD general order.
BROWN: The van drove away from the sea (ph). And while the exact route is unknown, it made the first stop here where officers took Gray out of the van to put shackles on his legs and flex cuffs on his wrists.
MOSBY: Officer Miller, Officer Nero and Lieutenant Rice then loaded Mr. Gray back into the wagon, placing him on his stomach head first on the to the floor of the wagon. Once again, Mr. Gray was not secured by his seat belt into the wagon.
BROWN: The officer driving the van made another stop here.
and three other officers arrived to check on Mr. Gray.
MOSBY: Mr. Gray at that time requested help and indicated that he could not breathe. Officer Porter asked Mr. Gray if he needed a medic at which time Mr. Gray indicated at least twice that he was in need of a medic.
BROWN: Mosby said they did not call a medic and once again failed to seat belt Gray. The van's driver decided to move on. It was at the fourth stop here, he van picked up his man, Donte Alan who was put on the other side of the metal partition.
DONTE ALAN, SEND PASSENGER IN POLICE VAN: The only thing I heard is little banging like I thought it banging. Someone was banging his head or something.
BROWN: Mosby says Gray was again neglected.
MOSBY: Sergeant Alicia White, Officer Porter, and Officer Goodson observed Mr. Gray unresponsive on the floor of the wagon.
BROWN: But it wasn't until 25 minutes later when the van reached the police station that a medic was called. At that point she says Gray was in cardiac arrest and not breathing. The medical examiner and prosecutor concluded Gray's death was a homicide.
BROWN: All six officers are facing criminal charges including assault and misconduct. The van's driver facing the most charges including second degree depraved heart murder which carries a sentence of up to 30 years. All six officer are in custody. And today, one of their attorney says this was an egregious rush to judgment by the prosecutor and vow to fight the chars -- Anderson.
COOPER: Pamela, thanks very much.
One quick late note. We just learned that as of a moment ago, all six officers have now posted bond. And there is a lot to talk about tonight and throughout this next two hours in Baltimore. CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, as you know, she a former federal prosecutor, Baltimore area resident and friend of the mayor, Stephanie Rawlings- Blake. With us here, former NYPD detective Harry Houck, Forensic scientist Lawrence Kobilinsky of the John Jay College of criminal justice, senior legal analyst as well, Jeffrey Toobin.
COOPER: Jeff, you did not expect these charges today. What do you make of them and the severity of them?
JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Well, this is, not only faster, but also in more serious set of charges that I expected. She better be right. She better have the back-up to win these cases. And it will be a challenge because you have a lot of defendants. You are going to have to assign individual responsibility, describe the role of each one. So far it appears none of them are cooperating, although, that is something definitely to keep an eye on whether any of them, one of them cuts a deal and testifies against the other.
COOPER: That was my next question. Because -- I mean, is it possible that some of the charges were brought in order to coerce somebody -- one of them or several of them to cooperate against others. Because we've already seen, you know, the person who is deeply connected to one of the officers who I interviewed, that officer was already pointing the fingers at arresting officers as having caused this injury and that officer believed -- so there are already seems to be divisions. It is not as if there is a united front here.
TOOBIN: And the prosecutors will try to exploit the situation like that. And usually when there are divisions, there can be a race to the prosecutors' office to cut the first deal. Because the person who comes in first usually gets the best deal from prosecutors. But that is getting ahead. You know, I'm particularly surprised by the murder charge.
[20:10:17] COOPER: For the driver of the wagon.
TOOBIN: For the driver, because that is what we call a specific intent crime. That crime of intentional harm inflicted on someone. And I think it is going to be a real challenge in the absence of some sort of admission, you know, where he said something to someone to make a charge like that stick. But you know, when you think about what it was like for Freddie Gray to be trussed up like that and to be bouncing around with his head exposed, I mean, it is a horrific, horrific thing. And if it was done in a criminal way, these charges are going to be very tough.
COOPER: And Sunny, because the state's attorney would not go into detail in terms of the actual evidence, obviously, because it now ongoing investigation, but an upcoming trial. We don't know the full detail or the medical examiner's report which would give a much more, much better sense of what happened to Mr. Gray inside that van?
SUNNY HOSTIN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: I think that is right. We don't know everything. Although I will say I was surprised that the state's prosecutor was comfortable enough with giving so much information. Because investigations are basically ongoing, even when you've already charged someone. So the fact that she is now tied to the narrative that she gave to the world that was a bit surprising to me. It must mean she is very -- very convinced of the probable cause here. It must mean she has an exceptional trust in her investigators and perhaps that is why she came forward so early with these charges. Because we now know she was conducting this independent investigation with investigators in her office as she explained, from day one. And so perhaps that is why she did this so quickly.
doubt. I think -- you know, it is really interesting, but Thursday or the other day when the officers turned over the investigation to the state's attorney's office, everybody was talking about how nothing will come out on Friday, even the state as attorney's office was talking about it, alright? Then all of the sudden, Friday comes, and then we all have these charges and you have police officers arrested.
COOPER: In order to bring some peace in the streets.
HOUCK: Right, bring some peace in the streets, so we don't have a riot. And then we will see if we get an indictment later.
COOPER: Jeff, do you think politics played a role?
TOOBIN: If that is true -- well, I mean, if that is true, that would be hugely irresponsible. You don't file criminal charges for any other purpose than -- that you think that you have a race you can make.
COOPER: I mean, Sunny, there were number of people I talked to in Baltimore today, many were elated, some did believe that this was influenced by the violence in the street and influenced -- the speed with which this came about was influenced and it was a desire to kind of calm things down?
HOSTIN: No, I don't think this is a fair criticism. I agree with Jeff. I mean, prosecutors don't do that. A prosecutor has a duty under the law to only bring cases that you believe you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And let's be clear f. She has been conducting this independent investigation on her own, I don't think it is fair to say there I was rush to judgment because this was never a who-done-it case, it was about what happened.
COOPER: I want to bring in professor Kobilinsky here because we haven't heard from you. The medical examiner part, we have not heard it, based on the charges, have you learned anything more based on the severity or the exact nature of the charges?
LAWRENCE KOBILINSKY, FORENSIC SCIENTIST, JOHN JAY COLLEGE: Well, first of all, I mean, we have a murder two charge. And I agree with Sunny, it is highly unethical to charge somebody if you don't have enough information and evidence to convict. But what we do know, although, we don't have an autopsy report, we do know that Miss Mosby has said that the cause of death, we don't know exactly of course, but the manner of death is homicide. And that simply means death at the hands of another person. It doesn't mean that it is murder. You know, you can have justified homicide, for example a police officer shooting in self-defense. This is what medical examiners do, they make a decision based upon the autopsy, based upon police investigation, based upon all kinds of information that all comes together, they decide whether it is an accident, whether it is a homicide, whether it's cause unknown.
[20:15:09] COOPER: Sunny, it was interesting, though, to have the state's attorney go through point by point, officer by officer, not only describing the charges against the officer but basically what she believes was their failing during this arrest. Not only what she called an illegal arrest because he didn't have a switchblade which the police early on reported but she detailed basically failures by each police officer all along the way.
HOSTIN: That is highly unusual. And not only just because we typically don't see it because prosecutors don't want to be tied to that kind of native when you have an ongoing investigation. It is also unusual because under Maryland law, and this under sort of our code of ethics, Maryland attorneys, you are generally prohibited to give that sort of pretrial publicity, that sort of narrative out to the public. And as a chief prosecutor, it is something that simple not done.
So I suspect we are going to be hearing from some of the defense attorneys in this case challenging her, asking her to recuse herself for having been I think so vocal and almost provocative about what she thought the evidence was in this case.
COOPER: We are going to continue the conversation through the next two hours.
But coming up next, the more on who these six officers are, what they are facing and at the end of quite a week in Baltimore and cities around the country. More from the streets ahead.
[20:20:00] COOPER: Looking there, Jason Carroll with marches on Prat street.
Jason, what are you seeing out there? How are things?
JASON CARROLL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, you know, basically, when you see everything that is happening here, these thousands of people who are now passing Charles street and Prat downtown, you are hearing from voices of people who feel for generations that haven't had a voice. These are people who have felt disenfranchised, not listened to, abused by police departments, grandmothers and grandfathers telling their children feeling this way.
I spoke to one woman, she said I finally feel like people are listening. I said we have been marching out for what, close to five miles, how much more can you keep going? She said I've waited for a night like this all of my life. That is how so many of these people feel.
And if you look up the street there, up Prat, they are still a thousand strong. I put my photographer on the truck in front of me so we can try to get you a better viewpoint of all of the people who have come out here. I know we're coming up on a curfew at 10:00. Still remains a question in terms of whether or not these people who are feeling so much elation will decide to go home at 10:00.
In the meantime, Anderson, we are going to keep marching right along with them -- Anderson.
COOPER: All right and we'll keep checking in with you.
We want to expand on the conversation we had just a moment ago about the six officers and what they are facing. Again, the four charged with manslaughter and murder have a lengthy procedural road ahead of them. None of them have it easy. All six we have learned a moment ago have now posted bond.
For more on what we know about them, senior investigative correspondent Drew Griffin joins us now.
Drew, so what do we know?
DREW GRIFFIN, CNN SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT: You know, collectively, this is so serious, they are collectively facing up to 173 years in prison. As we've been reporting, up until the time of the booking we didn't know the races. Now we know three of the officers are white, three are African-American, including the driver of the van, Anderson, who faces the most serious of charges, Cesar Goodson, Jr., 45 years. He has been on the Baltimore police department since 1999. We have checked his record thoroughly, found only a civil case against by Citibank for about $5,000. Even his driving record clean, according to the DMV. Goodson faces six charges, including that second degree murder and manslaughter. That is a possible 63 years in prison for this officer.
Also facing six charges, the most senior officer involved with the arrest, Lieutenant Brian Rice. He is 41. He is white, with the Baltimore PD since 1997. And his recent past, he has been involved in a nasty domestic situation with another Baltimore police officer. In 2012, they, a couple, were fighting over custody of their child. The mother of that child, Anderson, called police fearing Rice by harm himself. Police has actually respondent, removed seven weapons including his service weapons from Lieutenant Rice's home including his service weapon. He was driven to a hospital. But the case seems to end there. Rice faces now charges including involuntary manslaughter, second degree assault, possible sentence for him, 30 years behind bars.
Now, the next two offices that you are going to see, there in yellow vest and bike helmets, the bike cops originally arrested Freddie Gray, they are much younger.
Edward Nero, 29 years old, white, has been on the force just three years. Five charges her is facing, the most serious assault, in the second-degree. His total sentencing could be 20 years.
Garrett Miller, 26 years old, also white. It was Miller and Nero that you frisking Freddie Gray. They claim this is when they confiscated a switchblade. That's what the officers claim gave them cause for arrest. The prosecutor, of course, today says that knife was a pocket knife, not illegal. There is no reason Freddie Gray should have been arrested at all says the prosecutor. For that reason Miller, Nero and Lieutenant Rice are charged with false imprisonment.
Officer William Porter, 25 years old, he is black, hired in 2012, three charges, including involuntary manslaughter and second-degree assault.
And finally, a woman, Sergeant Alicia White who is black, charged with three counts. Charges that could bring 20 years in prison.
Anderson, as far as our record show right now, none of these officers have been charged in any crime relating to their duties in the past. They are obviously now facing much more serious charges here.
COOPER: Yes. Drew, thanks very much.
More perspective now. Joining us CNN legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, also former LAPD officer David Klinger, currently he is a professor of criminal justice in the University of Missouri in St. Louis.
Mark, earlier, I think it was Sunny who said, well, it would be unethical for the state's attorney to bring charges that she didn't believe she can prove. And as soon as she said that I heard your voice in the back of my head saying that is absurd because prosecutors all the time lob on charges in order to get somebody to roll on to somebody else. Do you think that maybe were going on here?

Little girl with amputated arm receives kitten who lost a leg
Animals, Health, News PopLyft 4 years ago
Source: www.abc22now.com
It's hard to imagine losing a limb–even harder to imagine what it would be like to do it as a 2 year old. Scarlette Tipton of Orange County, California had to have her left arm amputated when she was 10 years old, due to an aggressive and rare form of cancer. Although the amputation saved her life and she is now cancer free, she has a hard road ahead of her learning to live and thrive without the use of her arm. But this Christmas, she got the best gift someone in her situation could ever hope for–a kindred spirit in animal form.
Her parents, Matt and Simone Tipton, were having a hard time coming up with something to help her make the adjustment, until they came up with a perfect idea. Scarlette, like most children, loves animals. And after a search, they happened to stumble across a kitten they instantly knew would be perfect for Scarlette. This kitten had also lost a limb.
In December, two women found Holly, a kitten that had been abandoned and bleeding from a traumatic injury. The women weren't sure what caused the injury, but the vet who performed the surgery at the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus said it was possible that she had gotten caught in a car's fan belt while curling up for warmth on a cold night.
In order to stop the bleeding and save the kitten, Holly's front leg had to be amputated.

It seemed like a match made in heaven for Scarlette. She and the kitten shared a challenge that few people could understand. The family made the drive to San Jacinto on Christmas Eve to formally adopt Holly, who is now 3 months old.
When Scarlette first saw Holly, she said "Owie," and pointed to the place where the cat was missing a leg, according to KNBC-TV.
"Yes, an owie. Just like you. But she's OK — just like you are, too," Simon Tipton told her.
The family, including Matt and Simone, Scarlette, brother Cayden, posed for a photo at the Riverside County Department of Animal Services, the animal shelter in San Jacinto where they adopted Holly.
"A special-needs, super survivor kitten is getting adopted today by a family that knows all about survival," Riverside County Animal Services stated.

Two going on twenty.: Can You Hear It?
EVERY KIND OF LIGHT is in stores today! Woohoo! Many congrats my love!
Now everyone go out and get a copy carn it!
I even wore my "I Heart Jon Auer" shirt to work today in celebration!
I'm so psyched! I've waited like 7 years for this album. I'm getting it on the way home from work today.
I really like it! I ended up getting it from the iTunes music store, since Tower Records wanted $18 (!) for it. I listened to it 2 times through on the stereo, then played my drums along with it one time through. It shows a good variety of styles and definitely has some qualities not found on previous Posies albums, such as a piano-driven song and a blues song, as well as the modern groovy opener. I'm still learning the names of the new songs, so I can't be more specific. I also must say that I'm very happy with the recording quality. The drum tones seem to be a notch up from those on "Success". Tell yer hubby "Well done" from a long-time Posies fan in Portland!
I'm liking it a lot as well... I pre-ordered it a long time ago from notlamerecords.com but it has yet to arrive. Thank goodness it's been in Rhapsody.
I'm also eagerly anticipating the Big Star release in late August (or September if it gets pushed back as rumored.) Jon's solo album as well... early 2006, right? Finally get to hear his masterpiece.
I had a pretty busy weekend.


The Trump drama, which feels like it's heading towards some kind of a break point, remains a serious distraction, but also a serious problem in terms of the United States operating its foreign policy effectively. How can any member of the Trump team, let alone Trump himself, have time in such circumstances to give due and considered thought to decisions and actions? The most immediate potential problem area in our world is South Korea, and a wrong move there by the US would have consequences far beyond the Trump term, however long that turns out to be. The pressure on the new president in Seoul from Beijing must be enormous.
The other point of interest this week is OBOR, that silliest of names and acronyms. With a serious OBOR meeting coming up, a significant Chinese official appeared to say that China doesn't have enough money to do all it has promised in building infrastructure across the Eurasian landmass, and calling for help. How strange. It was, after all, their idea in the first place. Maybe it's an outlier sign that the law of gravity actually does hold true in China. Another strange OBOR-related sign this week was an effort by another Chinese official to offset the widespread impression that the initiative is a Xi project. Now why would that be necessary? Completely overshadowed, of course, by the mesmerizing US political crisis, but it is instructive to try and figure out what's going on here too, in between YouTube videos. There goes our weekend.

Critical Thinking and Decision Making
Wednesday, May 30, 13:00-17:00
Thomas Eppel
Summer Session Instructor / Assistant Specialist
The Paul Merage School of Business / University of California, Irvine
Sound decision making and critical thinking have always been important skills for creating success. In a world that has become increasingly complex and that is changing at an ever increasing pace, these skills are even more important than ever before. Yet, too many individuals and organizations are ill prepared when it comes to making smart decisions and how to critically examine the abundance of data and information that is all around us.
This module gives an overview of the art and science of decision making and critical thinking. It provides the motivation to view decision situations as opportunities rather than problems and to view decision making as a skill that can be learned, practiced and improved upon like any other skill. It also discusses the many pitfalls and psychological biases that have a tremendous impact on our thinking and decision making and have led to new fields such as behavioral economics and behavioral finance.

Layer for migration from mysql to mysqli.

## Installation

### composer
For composer documentation, please refer to
[getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/).

```shell
php composer.phar require dkplus/mysql-migration-layer
```

### Post-install
After installing replace all `mysql_*()` calls with `\MySQL\Proxy::*()`.

You can do this step automatically. Therefore you must also install [nikic/php-parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser):

```shell
php composer.phar require nikic/php-parser
```

Then you can run the converter by calling:

```shell
php vendor/bin/convert-mysql.php [-w] <file>
```

Run the script with the path of the PHP file you wish to convert as argument. This will print the converted source code to STDOUT.

You can add the `-w` switch if you want to override the original file with the converted code.

In case of any error, an error message is written to STDERR and the script exits with a return code of 1.

Use find to convert a whole directory recursively:

```shell
find <directory> -name "*.php" -exec php "vendor/bin/convert-mysql.php" -w "{}" \;
```

Healthy food is required for a healthy living. Eating a healthy food provides your body with the vital nutrients that it needs to function on a daily basis. Dosa, a savoury staple food of South India, is considered as a healthy food item. Known as the pancake of India, the flavor of dosa is relished by people all over the country. It is a versatile dish. The tasty pancake can be eaten for breakfast, dinner, or even as a snack item. Here are 9 reasons why dosas are a healthy option.
1. Easy to digest: Dosa is a fermented pancake. It's generally prepared from a combination of rice batter and black lentils, which makes it easy to assimilate and digest.
2. Good Source of Carbohydrates: Dosa is a rich and healthy source of carbohydrates. It provides your body with the energy needed to carry out various functions. For people on a weight-loss diet, dosa is the best option.
3. High in Proteins: Protein is an essential body nutrient required to make your muscles and bones stronger. Making dosa a part of your regular diet will help you, as it supplies moderate amounts of protein to your body.
4. Low in Calories: An ideal healthy food should be low in calories while satisfying your hunger. Dosa is one such food item which is extremely appetizing and relatively light, adding low calories in your body. It's a healthy choice to overcome obesity.
5. Low in Fat: Dosa is a healthy food because it contains very less saturated fat, which is a good thing as high saturated fat increases the risk of heart diseases.

Black Lives Matter protest holds in New York
Hundreds of activists with the Black Lives Matter movement have taken into the streets of New York City to protest a surge in racist attacks and police violence against African-Americans.
The protesters marched to the downtown area of Westhampton Beach on Sunday, carrying posters that had messages of unity and peace written on them.
Outraged by the recent shooting deaths of unarmed black individuals at the hands of white police officers, the activists demanded justice and urged government officials to help end discrimination against racial minorities.
They also asked the rest of Americans to break their silence on the issue and push for a fair society. The use of excessive force by law enforcement has become the focus of national debate in America, particularly over high-profile killings of African-Americans by mainly white officers during the last several years.
Last year, US police killed over 1,150 people in 2015, with the largest police departments disproportionately killing at least 321 African-Americans.
Racist attacks against minorities in the US have also skyrocketed after a heated primary race for the White House, where nearly all candidates pledged stricter law enforcement against minorities, a policy that gave rise to white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klax Klan.
Supporters of the KKK group had threatened to violently crash Sunday's rally, which was closely monitored by a relatively large number of police officers.

Case of jailed Israeli Bedouin resurfaces after rumours of a possible prisoner swap - Daily News Egypt
Egypt Case of jailed Israeli Bedouin resurfaces after rumours of a possible prisoner swap
Case of jailed Israeli Bedouin resurfaces after rumours of a possible prisoner swap
One week before his lawyer's visit to Egypt, Israel requests releasing Tarabin
Luiz Sanchez September 6, 2012 Be the first to comment
Egyptian Bedouins gather at the scene of an explosion in Sinai near the Israeli borders
AFP PHOTO/STRINGER
Earlier this week the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (IAJLJ) sent a letter to Egypt's Justice Minister requesting the release of Auda Suleiman Tarabin, an Israeli Bedouin arrested in December 2000 on charges of espionage. The letter sent to the Justice Minister Ahmed Mekky comes just a week before Tarabin's lawyer is set to visit Egypt.
Tarabin arrested at the age of 18, and repeated requests for his release have been rejected. In July, the IAJLJ sent a letter through the Egyptian Embassy in Israel to the newly elected President Mohamed Morsy.
The letter requested Tarabin's release on the basis of an unlawful arrest during the Mubarak regime. The IAJLJ referred to a letter sent to them by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention at the United Nations Human Rights Council, "where it was clearly stated that Mr Tarabin's incarceration, legal process and sentences are wrongful.
Moreover, there is a reference to the government of Egypt calling her to immediately release Mr Tarabin," the July letter read.
Tarabin's case has come to light after various media outlets, including the Jerusalem Post, reported Tarabin may be released in exchange for Egyptian prisoners in Israel. Tarabin's lawyer and the IAJLJ did not have any knowledge of
such a swap.
The executive director of the IAJLJ, Ronit Gidron, said that all their recent attempts to contact Egyptian officials requesting Tarabin's release have yielded no replies. "Past records show no desire to cooperate with us or to work according to our demands, however we are approaching them because we are an NGO and we deal with human rights," Gidron explained.
"We are working closely with Tarabin's lawyer and there are discussions on-going between our governments but we are not part of these negotiations."
According to Tarabin's lawyer Yiltzchak Meltzer, his family was originally living in the Sinai but returned to Israel when the Gaza Strip was handed over to the Palestinian authority. Tarabin travelled to Egypt in 1999 with his mother to visit his sisters living in Arish. After this he was tried in absentia, and arrested when he tried to return over the border.
"Egyptian media has often reported that his father was a collaborator or informer of the Israeli Defence Force in the Sinai," Meltzer mentioned. "My feeling is that it is only a form of retribution because they could not get his father." As per Egyptian law, once a prisoner has served three quarters of their sentence they are elegible for parole, which means Tarabin should have been released in March.
"To tell you the truth I expected that after the election of a new president one of the things Egypt would do is rectify or remedy the injustices and wrongs of the previous regime," Meltzer said.

Today's Civilian Victims in Yemen Will be Ignored Because U.S. and its Allies Are Responsible
July 6 2015, 3:30 p.m.
In Fayoush, Yemen this morning, just outside of Aden, "a massive airstrike" hit a marketplace and killed at least 45 civilians, wounding another 50. Officials told the AP that "bodies were strewn about following the strike." The bombing was carried out by what is typically referred to as a "Saudi-led coalition"; it is rarely mentioned in Western media reports that the U.S. is providing very substantial support to this "Saudi-led" war in Yemen, now in its fifth month, which has repeatedly, recklessly killed Yemeni civilians.
Because these deaths of innocents are at the hands of the U.S. government and its despotic allies, it is very predictable how they will be covered in the U.S. None of the victims will be profiled in American media; it'll be very surprising if any of their names are even mentioned. No major American television outlet will interview their grieving families. Americans will never learn about their extinguished life aspirations, or the children turned into orphans, or the parents who will now bury their infants. There will be no #FayoushStrong Twitter hashtags trending in the U.S. It'll be like it never happened: blissful ignorance.
This is the pattern that repeats itself over and over. Just see the stone-cold media silence when President Obama, weeks after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, ordered a cruise missile strike in Yemen, complete with cluster bombs, which ended the lives of 35 women and children, none of whose humanity was acknowledged in virtually any Western media reports.
All of that stands in the starkest contrast to the intense victim focus whenever an American or Westerner is killed by an individual Muslim. Indeed, Americans just spent the last week inundated with melodramatic "warnings" from the U.S. government — mindlessly amplified as always by their media — that they faced serious terror on their most sacred day from ISIS monsters: a "threat" that, as usual, proved to be nonexistent.
This media imbalance is a vital propaganda tool. In U.S. media land, Americans are always the victims of violence and terrorism, always menaced and threatened by violent Muslim savages, always targeted for no reason whatsoever other than primitive Islamic barbarism. That mythology is sustained by literally disappearing America's own victims, pretending they don't exist, denying their importance through the casual invocation of clichés we've been trained to spout (collateral damage) and, most importantly of all, never humanizing them under any circumstances.
This is how the American self-perception as perpetual victim of terrorism, but never its perpetrator, is sustained. It's also what fuels the belief that They are propagandized but We aren't. While these deaths will be concealed from the American public, people in that part of the world will hear much about them: just as Americans heard almost nothing about the Al Jazeera journalist imprisoned for years in Guantanamo with no charges, Sami al-Hajj, while he was a cause celebre in the Muslim world, leading Americans to believe that only the Bad Countries, but never Us, imprison journalists. From this latest Yemen bombing and so many like it, the resulting differences in worldviews and perspectives isn't be because "they" are propagandized, but because "we" are.

What's wrong with this Gullwing???
Can anyone spot what's wrong here?
Re: What's wrong with this Gullwing???
Although the one in your photo is much better done!
The front indicators should be the clear ones, not the orange ones?
I thought Mercedes took a rather dim view of people infringing it's IP rights?
I guess it's different in the US where the law only helps to protect IP if it's American IP.
I like how they talk about "Gullwing convertibles" at the end of the article. WTF??? idiots.
Isn't that one of those replicas with a M102 engine ? or is it one of the Corvette chassis cars?
Mercmad wrote: Isn't that one of those replicas with a M102 engine ? or is it one of the Corvette chassis cars?
Especially if it's a 107.041 and then it's not even a fake 300SL.
At least this one has 6 cylinder engine!
is it just me or are the wipers always wrong on these replicas? Are they meant to be slanted to the left when at rest?
A slant Six??? Actually damned good engines and chrysler made hundreds of thousands of them . They were actually going to be aluminium but the costs got out of hand. It was a cheap solution to use the same patterns and tooling to build them in cast iron instead. This meant that the blocks turned out to be insanely strong. I have seen an Aston Martin DB5 with a slant six ,that ran faster than the original engine..
i see the chev aircleaner in that triple pic. A late model Corvette would be ideal though. Brilliant engineering with the torque tube and rear trans layout . Not new,even for GM, which had the similar setup in the 1960's pontiac tempest and Alfa and Lancia had it for years. Ferrari's Daytona was another .
