Winner Take All screens March 21st at Denver's Historic Bug Theater
"Winner Take All," a film about the U.S. electoral system, was named "official selection" of the Emerging Filmmakers Project 2020 festival
As adopted by 15 states and the District of Columbia and under ongoing consideration by Virginia's legislature, the compact fully preserves the Electoral College."
— Michael Steele, Former chairman of the Republican National Committee
DENVER, COLORADO, USA, February 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Denver, Colo., February 28, 2020 / EINPresswire.com / — Colacino Productions LLC, in association with Winner Take All Documentary LLC is pleased to announce that the documentary film, "Winner Take All," (winnertakeallfilm.com) has been named an "official selection" of the 2020 EFPalooza Film Festival (http://www.efpdenver.com/2020-efpalooza-film-festival/, https://www.facebook.com/events/229202978128408/). The event is a three-day film festival celebrating the best of the Emerging Filmmaker's Project, the home of Denver's independent film scene since 2002. This year's event will be held March 19th, 20th and 21st at Denver's historic Bug Theatre. "Winner Take All" will screen in the 1:00 p.m. "Saturday Afternoon Shorts" block on March 21st.
"Winner Take All" explains how the frequently misunderstood Electoral College works, why its election results have conflicted with the popular vote, and a national movement afoot to change the way it works through an interstate compact. "As adopted by 15 states and the District of Columbia and under ongoing consideration by Virginia's legislature, the compact fully preserves the Electoral College," wrote Michael Steele in a letter published in The Wall Street Journal on February 20, 2020. "The problem isn't the Electoral College itself" says filmmaker, Don Colacino. "It's the way states have chosen to allocate votes," a key concept addressed in the film by Constitutional scholars, legislators, and the founding documents themselves.
With growing interest in the topic, EFPalooza is the third festival to recognize the film in the lead-up to the 2020 election. The League of Women Voters is also screening the film at various voter outreach events in Colorado and Maine and is also available on Prime Video in the U.S. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081N215SX and the UK https://www.amazon.com.uk/dp/B081N215SX.

Journalist Calls for Nuclear Waste X-Type Prize
Llewellyn King, Host, White House Chronicle
Trump Tweet Ignores Over $15 Billion Investment in Yucca Mountain
The possibilities for a solution other than any that are now on the table might come forth as a result of a large incentivizing prize."
— Llewellyn King Executive Producer and Host, White House Chronicle
WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, February 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Syndicated columnist and broadcaster Llewellyn King has responded to President Donald Trump's withdrawal of support for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada, with a call for a $20 million prize-led attempt to find a wholly new nuclear waste solution.
In a column, distributed by InsideSources, King said all previous solutions have been politicized and a fresh start is needed.
On Feb. 6, Trump tweeted, "Nevada, I hear you on Yucca Mountain and my Administration will RESPECT you! Congress and previous Administrations have long failed to find lasting solutions — my Administration is committed to exploring innovative approaches — I'm confident we can get it done!"
The site in Nevada had been selected as the nation's repository for civilian nuclear waste and more than $15 billion to $18 billion had been spent on site characterization, and the construction of the repository which included train lines to move the waste-handling equipment, a passive cooling system and other safety aspects.
King said starting with President Jimmy Carter's rejection of reprocessing spent fuel in 1977, nuclear has been politicized, and those calling themselves environmentalists had fastened on nuclear waste as a club with which to beat up the nuclear option.
King said he believes that the possibilities for a solution other than any that are now on the table might come forth as a result of a large incentivizing prize. He also said he thought reprocessing might be an intelligent start at this time to reduce the volume of waste presented by the whole spent uranium-fuel core having to be stored.
King pointed out in his article that most of the severest nuclear waste materials are the beta, gamma and X-ray emitters, and that most of these decay away in about 300 years.
The alpha emitters, like plutonium, are quite benign, although they last essentially forever. King said the only danger from plutonium is in weapons proliferation and if you inhale the specks of the metal, you will get lung cancer, but other exposure, including drinking it, cause no harm.
King said aviation has benefitted enormously over the years from prizes, including one for the first flight across the English Channel to Charles Lindbergh's crossing the Atlantic.
King has been writing about nuclear energy since 1969. He founded The Energy Daily in 1974.
Previously, he was an assistant editor at The Washington Post, an executive at a mass-circulation London newspaper, and a correspondent in Africa for British and American publications.
He is the host and executive producer of the weekly news and current affairs program "White House Chronicle" which airs on PBS and SiriusXM Radio, and a regular commentator on SiriusXM Radio's P.O.T.U.S., Channel 124.

William L. Kovacs, Author of 'Reform the Kakistocracy' to be Featured on Close Up Radio
GREAT FALLS, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Douglas Adams, the noted author, once wrote, "It is a well-known fact that those people who want to rule are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it; anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
William L. Kovacs is the author of Reform the Kakistocracy. A Greek word, kakistocracy is defined as "rule by the least able or least principled citizens," and according to Kovacs, a senior level public policy adviser for nearly 50 years, we're currently living in one.
"Our leaders possess little ability to lead and less principle. They care more about loyalty to political party than loyalty to the Constitution and the people," says Kovacs. "The fundamental question I ask throughout the entire book is 'who do these elected representatives actually represent? Very few people in this country are represented by the current political system."
Reform the Kakistocracy sets forth ideas on how citizens can begin to restructure a massive federal government with uncontrollable debt and decades of undeclared wars.
"Our elected representatives should serve as fiduciaries that give loyalty to the Constitution and the branch of government in which they serve," says Kovacs. "They take an oath to the Constitution. They take an oath to the office in which they serve. They don't take an oath to a political party which is nothing more than a group of people organizing to control the nation. Once their loyalty is to the political party and not to the Constitution, they've fundamentally changed the Constitution by transferring power from our institutions of government to political parties."
Part I of the book sets out many actions of our federal government that place the nation at risk. Part II sets forth a series of governance principles, that if adopted, would guide government officials in structuring a government that focuses more on addressing the needs of citizens and less on achieving dominance as political parties. Parts III and IV set forth what Kovacs calls "modest proposals" to restructure the kakistocracy. They are creative but not modest.
"It sounds cynical, but politicians find more benefit in conflict than finding solutions to the issues facing the nation," Kovacs laments. "They don't work together anymore. They don't even talk to each other. Everything's a fight. In the media, one side has one set of facts and the other has another. You really begin to wonder what's real. Government officials should be telling us the truth, whatever that truth is. Americans need the truth to find the right path forward."
Part V reminds all of us that the Constitution sets forth a clear and legal path for revolution – voting which allows us to replace the entire government in a short period of time.
Close Up Radio will feature William L. Kovacs in an interview with Jim Masters on March 3rd at 10pm EDT.

Danny Brown, Luxury Real Estate Broker, On How the High-End Housing Market Has Exploded in Los Angeles
Danny Brown, Luxury Real Estate Broker
"The high-end luxury market and uber luxury market in Los Angeles has exploded in January after anemic results in 2019." – Danny Brown
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Southern California home prices shot from a year earlier in January as buyers battled over a limited supply of homes for sale across the six-county area. The median price of the area — the level where half of the homes sell for more and half for less — clocked in at $533,000, DQNews said Monday, February 24th. That was above the previous year by 6.6%. It's the latest hint that the home market is heating up after muddling through much of 2019.
Acclaimed Realtor at Compass, Danny Brown, seems to have a lot to say in the matter and is in agreement that we are going into a seller's market. "The high-end luxury market and uber luxury market in Los Angeles has exploded in January after anemic results in 2019," states Danny Brown. There's been a half dozen sales over $100 million including a price record of $150m, which Lachlan Murdoch took credit for in December. Then Jeff Bezos shattered that record and bought David Gefferns Jack Warner Estate for $165m. There is plentiful inventory on the upper-end market, so the housing shortage is really on the mid-priced and low ends."
High-end home sales signaled a recovery in the second quarter of 2019, according to the latest report from Redfin, which showed that prices rose a mere 1% to $1.64 million. While the gain is nominal, it could be a sign that the bleeding has stopped after several quarters of falling sales. Certainly, the second quarter's performance was a boost from the first quarter of the year, which saw luxury prices decline 1.7%. In Q1, prices declined for the first time in almost three years, and sales saw their largest decline since 2010 as supply increased by double digits.
Economists attribute the change, seen across the country, to falling mortgage rates, the easing of recession fears and a stark shortage of homes for sale. In Southern California, depending on the county, there were 17% to 28% fewer homes on the market in January than a year earlier, Zillow data show. Similar declines were reported in December. Interest rates had shot up in late 2018 and early 2019, and there was high economic uncertainty— two factors that caused buyers to pull back. At the same time, Zillow economist Jeff Tucker theorized, some sellers, worried the market might turn and wipe out some of their equity gains, listed their homes. But homes sat and inventory swelled. It seems that even with such limitations, it is a good time for people, especially in the high-end luxury market, to sell.
"The world has never seen the scale and scope of these uber sales in Los Angeles," continues Danny Brown. "Up next is a $500m 100,000 sf spec, "The One", with a Monaco casino and night club which is being shown quietly off market. It's a flight to safety. Billionaires parking capital in blue chip estates in A+ locations as a form of diversification and enjoying the unique healthy sunshine and lifestyle that only LA can provide."
Home prices and sales rose in all six counties compared with a year earlier:
In Los Angeles County, the median sale price rose 6% to $615,000, while sales climbed 14.1%.
In Orange County, prices rose 6.7% to $747,000, and sales climbed 20.3%.
In Riverside County, prices rose 4% to $390,000, and sales climbed 18.3%.
In San Bernardino County, prices rose 12.5% to $360,000, and sales climbed 16.7%.
In San Diego County, prices rose 7.9% to $585,000, and sales climbed 22.8%.
In Ventura County, prices rose 3.2% to $588,500, and sales climbed 18.8%.

German Mourners Shout 'Nazis Out!' at Vigil — Acclaimed Documentary, Hate Among Us, Highlights Problem
Hate Among Us
Dean Cain, Executive Producer
Montel Williams, Executive Producer
Thousands Gathered for a Vigil in Hanau
The Guardian reported that the mourners were holding signs that read "Take racism personally" and "Never again!" and could be heard chanting "Nazis out!"
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — After a far-right gunman opened fire and killed nine people at two hookah bars, thousands of people gathered for vigils across Germany on Thursday, Feb 20th, night hours. Vigils took place in Hanau, where the deadly shooting took place, and large crowds had assembled in Frankfurt and Berlin. The Guardian reported that the mourners were holding signs that read "Take racism personally" and "Never again!" and could be heard chanting "Nazis out!"
The attacker has been identified as Tobias Rathjen, 43, who was found dead with his 72-year-old mother in his home after the gunshots. Federal Chief Prosecutor Peter Frank said that the nine people killed were between 21 and 44 and that they all came from a "migrant background". Frank also said that evidence showed Rathjen had "a very deeply racist attitude." Inge Bank, 82, who lives near the bar where one of the shootings took place, said: "I couldn't be any more upset… We have to nip it in the bud if the Nazi Party is coming back."
History ominously repeats itself in "Hate Among Us," a disturbingly relevant but noticeably selective assessment of the global resurgence of anti-Semitism co-hosted by executive producers of the documentary, Dean Cain and Montel Williams.
Cain and Williams survey the recent spike in hate crimes leveled against Jews around the world in "Hate Among Us". The two also served in a similar behind-the-scenes capacity for "Architects of Denial," chronicling Armenian genocide. They are joined by travel show personality Laura McKenzie (also an executive producer) on one of her "voluntourism" trips to Israel.
Along the way, director David McKenzie draws a chilling though-line from the ascendancy of Hitler in the 1930s to the current rise of emboldened Islamic terrorists, neo-Nazis and other far-right extremist factions who, unlike members of the Ku Klux Klan, do not feel they have to hide their hatred under hoods.
Back in America, the film briefly addresses incidents in Charlottesville, Va., as well as synagogue shootings in Pittsburgh and Poway, California, but while referring to social media as a frighteningly effective tool for recruiting hate groups, it continues to circumvent any conversation about how explosive tweets and retweets emanating from the White House could further fan those flames of hatred.
While the rise of anti-Semitic abuse and bigotry is justifiably disturbing, "Hate Among Us," which spends a lot of screen time covering attacks in Paris and Berlin, would have had more incisive viewing if its exploratory journey kicked off closer to home.

As more Chinese lose jobs, protests grow bolder
For months, China's Communist Party had been able to deflect anger about factory closings toward the companies themselves. But that strategy is not working anymore.

For months, the Communist Party had been able to deflect anger about factory closings toward the companies themselves. The party managed to come off as the benevolent savior by handing out cash to make up for unpaid salaries. The strategy stopped working at the Jianrong Suitcase Factory in late December.
When offered 60 percent of their wages to disband their protest and go home, the workers pushed back at riot police sent to keep them locked in their factory compound in the southern Chinese city of Dongguan. According to several witnesses, more than 100 irate workers broke through the cordon, some shouting, "There are no human rights here!"
As a global recession takes hold and China's economy continues to slow, growing legions of unemployed workers are becoming increasingly bold in expressing their unhappiness -- expanding a debate over how to protect the Chinese economy into long-fought disputes over other issues such as freedom of expression and equality before the law.
During most of the past two decades, concerns about China's human rights record have been overshadowed by the speed of its economic development and growing political influence in the world.
Challenges to the state's power
But as the economic crisis has grown, so, too, have challenges -- both small and large -- to the state's power.
In late November, two men whose village was involved in a dispute over a land deal took ink-filled eggs and desecrated Communist Party and national flags in Chongqing, the largest of China's four provincial-level municipalities, in a protest that copied the infamous defacing of Mao Zedong's portrait in the capital in 1989.
In December, 300 academics and other intellectuals signed a declaration of human rights known as Charter '08 that circulated on the Internet, sending Chinese authorities on a nationwide manhunt for its author.
Labor rights activist Li Qiang said China's economic problems have put the spotlight on social issues that have long existed -- such as the growing gap between the urban rich and the rural poor and the fight for worker rights -- but were played down by the government during the recent boom.
"The crisis in the West is purely economic. But in China it's a huge political problem," said Li, director of the New York-based China Labor Watch.
The ripple effects of the sharp economic downturn are growing: Crime is rising, as are labor strikes by taxi drivers, teachers, factory workers and even investors unhappy that their stock market holdings are now 70 percent off their peak.
'Peak period'
Although Chinese authorities have been able to quickly disband the recent protests, there is concern that a single national-level event, if mishandled by authorities, could lead to a serious political crisis.
"Without doubt, we are entering a peak period for mass incidents. In 2009, Chinese society may face even more conflicts and clashes that will test even more the governing abilities of all levels of the party and government," Huang Huo, a reporter for the state-run New China News Agency, warned this month in a magazine published by the news service.
The greatest threat may come from the newly unemployed.
Unemployment is now estimated to be at its highest levels since the Communist Party took over in 1949. Job creation and preservation has become a top priority of China's leaders, who are acutely aware of the role a deteriorating economy played in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
Economists say that if the growth of China's gross domestic product dips below 8 percent -- a healthy rate in most countries -- it would be a disaster here. The reason is that the demand for jobs would far outpace China's ability to create them.
Estimates by government research agencies for urban jobless top 18 million, or 9 percent of the workforce -- a rate unimaginably high to those who remember the guaranteed cradle-to-grave employment during Mao's time. This figure doesn't include the growing number of jobless among the 160 million migrant workers who are mostly employed in factories. The rural unemployment rate could be as high as 20 percent. In addition, 1 million college graduates are not expected to be able to find jobs this year.
China's social security minister, Yin Weimin, has said that the employment situation in China is "critical," with people fighting for jobs that don't exist. This year as many as 24 million people will be competing for as few as 8 million newly created jobs.
To combat unemployment, the Chinese government in recent weeks has reinstituted controls that in some ways turn back the clock to the "iron rice bowl" era that China has tried so hard to leave behind during 30 years of economic reforms.
Among the most radical measures is an order by some provinces and cities that prohibits companies from laying off workers without the explicit permission of the government. Other local governments are offering a subsidy of about $1,500 for every worker hired who had not already had a job elsewhere, and seed money for start-ups that will employ a certain number of people. The central government for its part has purchased millions of tons of cotton, soybeans, sugar and other products to prevent companies from experiencing financial problems that would lead to a reduction in their workforces.
Major public works projects
And as part of its massive $586 billion stimulus plan -- roughly 15 percent of its GDP -- China has embarked on several dubious public works projects.
A $3 billion metro rail system linking the southern manufacturing cities of Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, for instance, has been criticized as a waste of money because there are already four railway lines linking the cities and the trains often run empty. Ditto a $4.5 billion highway connecting the Sichuan province cities of Chengdu, Zigong and Luzhou, because there are already highways from Chengdu to Zigong and from Zigong to Luzhou.
A bridge running from just outside Shanghai to a textile manufacturing center on the other side of a bay was also resurrected to create construction jobs. For years, its designers had been unable to get the $2 billion they needed to build it because its route would mostly duplicate that of another massive bridge that was already under construction.
That changed in November when at least six of the biggest employers at the other end of the bridge, in Shaoxing, went out of business. Even though there is less need because of the closures, blueprints for the second bridge were dusted off and, almost overnight, workers broke ground. The project is expected to employ about 250,000 people and indirectly provide jobs for 300,000 more.
Liu Bo, a 20-year-old salesman, said he hasn't seen any benefits from the government's efforts in his job search yet.
Technically speaking, Liu wasn't laid off but told by his employer, which provides sales help to companies during exhibitions, to take an unpaid "break" because there was no work. He has been sending out his résumé to company after company, but so far nothing. In previous years, Liu said, "I used to receive two or three interview invitation calls every day whenever I sent out my CV, but now there is really nobody who calls me." He is not hopeful about the government efforts: "I never want to depend on the government."
Liu is not the only one to discover the limits of China's deep pockets.
For all the help it is giving workers at factories in the export-heavy region of Guangdong province on the country's southern border, the government simply can't afford to pay every worker every yuan they are owed.
Now dealing with the third month of protests and sit-ins, the government has been gradually reducing its cash payouts to laid-off workers.
The workers at the Jianrong Suitcase Factory, who make an average of about $220 a month, finally accepted the government's money and went home after their bosses couldn't be located. But it was not without a fight that left workers with scrapes and bruises and, more important, resentment over their fate.
Still, the Jianrong workers are among the lucky ones. Tong Hengxin, a headhunter in Guangzhou, said some laid-off factory workers are getting back much less from the government, only a third of what they rightfully earned. With job prospects bleak, that money can't last long. As a result, Tong said, the mood is desperate: "Workers are always threatening to jump from the buildings and commit suicide."

Statement by the Minister of State for European Affairs, Paschal Donohoe TD at the EU-League of Arab States Ministerial Meeting, Athens, 11th June 2014
Mr. Chairman, Excellencies,
Ireland warmly welcomes the holding of this third Ministerial meeting between the European Union and the League of Arab States and commends Deputy Prime Minister Venizelos and the Greek Government for their very effective hosting of the event.
The Arab League represents a vital strategic partner for the EU in a region to which Europe has always attached the utmost importance, not just politically but economically, culturally and in all spheres.
The draft Declaration which we will adopt later today demonstrates the breadth of practical cooperation which now takes place between the EU and the Arab League. Ireland strongly supports this intensification of practical cooperation, particularly in areas such as crisis response, the empowerment of women, electoral observation, legal cooperation, and the promotion of human rights and civil society. Ireland is particularly please to have helped facilitate the inaugural informal dialogue of the EU and League of Arab States' legal advisors, which took place in the Irish Mission to the EU in Brussels last week.
Ireland also supports efforts to institute a more regular strategic dialogue between Europe and the Arab world as this can only assist in addressing the many common challenges we face. Biennial meetings at ministerial level also appears to be the appropriate interval for high-level political exchanges such as this.
Not least among the challenges we collectively face is the continuing horror and tragedy of Syria. It is becoming increasingly hard not to lose hope and despair, in the face of the relentless death and devastation which we daily witness.
Ireland commends the Arab League for the strong leadership role it has consistently played in the efforts to promote a political resolution to this appalling crisis. Our meeting today must reaffirm the need for all violence and bloodshed to end and for all sides to commit to a political resolution rather than taking actions which only prolong the conflict.
Ireland commends Lakhdar Brahimi for all his dedicated efforts as Joint Special Representative. We believe that the principles underlying the Geneva communiqué still remain relevant and offer a template for promoting a genuine political transition within Syria. Actions in conflict with those principles, such as the spectacle of the presidential elections we observed last week, run counter to efforts to end the violence and achieve peace.
It is clear that the political resolution we urgently seek will only come through intensified cooperation between all relevant international and regional players. We continue to look to the UN Security Council to take a decisive lead in this regard, including in addressing the appalling humanitarian situation and in increasing pressure on all parties, but particularly the Syrian regime, to remove the unacceptable impediments to delivery of urgent humanitarian supplies. Resolution 2139 has clearly identified the urgent actions necessary to end such obscenities as besieged communities being starved into submission and we look forward to further measures now being taken by the Security Council to ensure compliance with this Resolution.
We also owe it to the all too many victims of the Syrian conflict and their families to ensure accountability through referral of the situation to the International Criminal Court. It is a matter of great regret that the Security Council last month was unable to endorse such a referral through the exercise of the veto by two Council members.
More efforts are needed to assist and lessen the huge burden which the humanitarian crisis in Syria is imposing on neighbouring countries. Ireland has already contributed some €12 million in humanitarian assistance since the start of 2014 and is actively considering what further assistance it can provide to those countries which have so generously provided refuge to those fleeing the conflict.
Ireland continues to attach the highest priority to the search for peace in the Middle East and the resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. We commend the US Administration and Secretary of State Kerry for all their efforts in recent months to promote substantive negotiations between the two sides. It remains clear that that outcome which we all seek, namely a two-State solution, on the basis of the 1967 borders and which addresses all the core issues of the conflict, can only be achieved through negotiations.
Accordingly, promoting a conducive atmosphere in which direct talks can resume and lead to substantive negotiations on all the core issues must remain the priority. Both sides should desist from all actions which undermine confidence and impede the search for peace. In particular, we urge Israel to stop expansion of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem which can only impede the realisation of a viable Palestinian State.
Ireland has welcomed the establishment of the new Palestinian Unity Government headed by Prime Minister Hamdallah as an important step in the effort to end divisions and promote reconciliation among Palestinians. Ireland has always believed that greater unity among Palestinians must be an essential element of overall efforts to promote a just and peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. We attach importance to President Abbas' assurances that the new Government will remain committed to the principle of the two-State solution based on the 1967 borders, to the recognition of Israel's legitimate right to exist, to non-violence, and to the respect of previous agreements.
It remains very much in all our collective interests, as Europeans and Arabs, to continue working assiduously for peace on the basis of the Arab Peace Initiative and realisation of the two-State solution. No outcome could be more hugely and positively transformative for the region and our joint neighbourhood.
Our meeting today should also reaffirm the importance of offering all support to those countries within the Middle East region undergoing political and economic transition. In particular, we commend the Government and people of Tunisia on the adoption of their new constitution earlier this year, following an intensive process of internal dialogue, cooperation and compromise. It has demonstrated the urgency of inclusivity and reconciliation for any country undergoing transition and can hopefully serve as a model for the wider region and particularly in Libya which has experienced such a regrettable relapse into violence in recent weeks.
Thank you, shukran.

The Leap Day Deal's Mixed Bag
Features | Security | East Asia
The deal reached this week between the U.S. and North Korea is a step forward. But North Korea is well aware of the power of its deterrent.
By Richard Weitz for The Diplomat
All things considered, the deal announced on February 29 between the United States and North Korea looks like a helpful contribution to resuming the stalled nuclear and other negotiations involving these and other countries. The sides made some progress on disputed issues, and will receive other benefits ancillary to the formal deal. But these achievements are still fragile and can easily be reversed, as they have in the past. Indeed, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was right to refer to the deal as "a modest first step in the right direction."
The deal had been under discussion for months, but its announcement was sudden. Since July 2011, North Korean and U.S. officials have been informally discussing in Beijing, New York, and probably elsewhere how to resume direct negotiations. These "talks about talks" centered on what "pre-steps" Pyongyang would take to reverse the damage inflicted by its provocative actions in 2009 and 2010, including the detonating of another nuclear explosive device, testing another long-range missile, and attacking South Korean military and civilian targets.
The two earlier rounds of exploratory talks held in July and October of last year set the stage for the deal announced this week. A third round had been scheduled for last December, but the sudden death of Kim Jong-il resulted in their postponement. At the end of the third session in Beijing last week, the U.S. negotiators gave no indication they expected a sudden breakthrough. North Korea is still in a formal 100-day period of mourning regarding the death of Kim Jong-il. In fact, until now, the most important indicator of progress was a deal in which the two sides agreed to resume the search for the remains of an estimated 5,500 American servicemen missing from the 1950-53 Korean War. Then they suddenly heard from Pyongyang that it had agreed to the deal.
On the surface, North Korea has made some important concessions. Its agreeing to suspend the launching of long-range missiles or testing nuclear explosive devices simply confirms the existing de facto moratorium, and it can easily resume these tests whatever it has said or done in the past. However, the offer to suspend nuclear activities at its major nuclear complex at Yongbyon and invite inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, absent from North Korea since 2009, to return is important since it reverses some recent setbacks.
But the most important indicator of progress is that now the monitors will be able to assess North Korea's uranium enrichment activities, at least at that facility. U.S. and South Korean officials expressed surprise at the scale and modernity of the plant, which is equipped with at least 1,000 centrifuges, after a delegation of visiting U.S. scientists was unexpectedly allowed to see it in November 2010. This is a significant development since the outside world knows little about this possible alternative North Korean path to making nuclear weapons. Current intelligence estimates are that the country has made enough separated plutonium to manufacture about a half-dozen nuclear bombs, but North Korea's large uranium enrichment potential casts doubt on previous these calculations.
More generally, simply restarting a formal dialogue between North Korea and the United States and restoring an IAEA presence in the country is helpful – the current stalemate is, after all, inherently unstable. North Korea could at any time resume testing its nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles. Together, these capabilities could render the continental United States newly vulnerable to a direct North Korean nuclear attack. U.S. officials must therefore strive to avoid a mutual deterrent relationship between an aggressive and unpredictable North Korean regime and the United States.
In return for these concessions, the United States will provide North Korea with 240,000 metric tons of food, through regular monthly deliveries of about 20,000 tons of nutritional supplements under intensive monitoring to ensure it is properly delivered to babies, expectant and young mothers, elderly people, and other North Koreans most at risk of chronic malnutrition. U.S. officials have said that the monitoring will be even more rigorous than under a U.S. program a few years ago that worked well before North Korean authorities abruptly terminated it. This immediate U.S. quid pro quo seems modest and arguably worth doing in any case.
Sadly, as with many policy questions regarding North Korea, there are no good options regarding the food aid question. U.S. aid groups have attacked the Obama administration's lengthy deliberations in deciding whether to provide large-scale deliveries of food aid to North Korea. U.S. officials indicated they were open to providing some food aid, but only with credible North Korean guarantees that it won't divert the shipments to feed the country's elite, the North Korean military, to sell abroad, or to release at the planned mass celebrations marking the 100th year anniversary of the birth of Kim il-sung, the founder of North Korea (and the Kim dynasty). Experts and moralists may debate the relative merits of North Korea's request for the food assistance, but the promised deliveries have helped establish the conditions needed to resume a painful but necessary dialogue with the North Korean regime regarding its proper international behavior.
The other major U.S. concession was largely symbolic: The administration said that it was "prepared to take steps to increase people-to-people exchanges, including in the areas of culture, education, and sports." North Korea is eager to break out of its international isolation and deepen ties with the United States in particular, which helps reduce Pyongyang's dependence on Moscow and especially Beijing.
As always, assessing North Korean motives is challenging, but it's likely that the regime has sought several objectives related to ensuring its survival. First, the deal helps establish a non-threatening external environment during which North Korean leaders can consolidate the controversial process of transferring power to the young and inexperienced Kim Jong-un. The United States and other governments will now stand aside for some months as they await implementation of the Leap Day deal.
Second, the food aid will help address a major and embarrassing humanitarian crisis in which as much as a third of the North Korean population of 24 million is undernourished, and this despite the 100th anniversary year, which was supposed to mark North Korea's transformation into a "prosperous nation." North Korean diplomats in New York originally requested 320,000 metric tons of grains in return for suspending its clandestine uranium-enrichment program, but the administration correctly insisted on providing "nutrients," not grains or rice since these could easily be diverted to feeding the North Korean army.
It's also inevitable, though, that this deal will prompt speculation about the status of the North Korean leadership succession. Kim Jong-un has said little in public, and the comments attributable to him by the North Korean media are often worrisome, such as his reported threats against South Korea. But Kim Jong-un presumably had to have agreed to the recent deal for it to have occurred, as must have the military. The joint editorial of the party and army newspapers published on January 1 vowed to continue the "military-first policy" of Kim Jong-il. And, in general, the current leadership has carried on the same policies as it did under Kim Jong-il.
So what comes next? Several U.S. statements confirmed that the United States planned to continue the "action for action" transactional process and consider offering North Korea additional rewards, such as removing some sanctions, in return for further progress. For example, in Washington's understanding of the deal, "The United States reaffirms that it does not have hostile intent toward the DPRK and is prepared to take steps to improve our bilateral relationship in the spirit of mutual respect for sovereignty and equality." In addition, Washington has affirmed that "U.S. sanctions against the DPRK are not targeted against the livelihood of the DPRK people."
But the ball really is in Pyongyang's court since the onus is on the North Koreans to negotiate the return of the nuclear inspectors with the IAEA and ensure that the food is delivered with the agreed monitoring and other safeguards. U.S. officials have said they want to see North Korea implement this recent deal before agreeing to any new ones. Meanwhile, they will engage in detailed discussions with the other members of the Six-Party regarding possible future steps forward.
It goes without saying that we are a long way from the verifiable and irreversible elimination of the North Korean nuclear program. And there are already indications of the potential problems ahead that could derail the recent progress.
For example, there's no mention of a North Korean commitment to improving intra-Korean relations. The State Department has said that the issue was discussed as part of the dialogue, but it's also a tenet of formal U.S. policy, and a probable requirement for a successful resumption of the Six-Party Talks, that Seoul and Pyongyang make progress in overcoming their differences. Yet North Korea has kept up its belligerent attack on the South Korean government of President Lee Myung-bak and his "anti-national, traitorous gang." For its part, the Lee government hasn't formally withdrawn an earlier demand that North Korea apologize for its 2010 provocations. Realistically though, major progress might not occur until after the South Korean elections this year since North Korea is presumably waiting to see the outcome.
Another difficulty is that ambiguous wording doesn't ensure that North Korea will allow IAEA monitoring of any nuclear activities outside Yongbyon. This is especially problematic in the case of the uranium enrichment program, which is thought to take place in at least several additional locations. In December 2010, U.S. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said that the considerable progress displayed at Yongbyon implied the existence of other uranium enrichment sites. "We're very conscious of the fact that, in the recent revelations to American delegations, what they saw did not come out of thin air," he said. "It certainly reflects work being done at least one other site."
There's also the problem that North Korea might have exaggerated expectations of how much Washington and its allies will concede for the deal. For example, North Korean representatives denounced this week's start of U.S.-South Korean military drills for undermining the positive atmosphere achieved by the recent deal, as if they expected them to be cancelled or postponed at the last minute in return for modest concessions.
In addition, North Korea's statement on its interpretation of the recent deal makes it evident that Pyongyang still expects the U.S. and its allies to honor an earlier pledge and provide North Korea with nuclear reactors to replace its closed facilities: "Once the Six-Party talks are resumed, priority will be given to the discussion of issues concerning the lifting of sanctions on the DPRK and provision of light water reactors." But a lot of water has passed under the bridge since that offer was made a few years ago that will make it harder for the United States to fund such an acquisition.
And there's one more factor at play. North Korea will no doubt have been closely watching recent events in Libya and the rest of the Arab world, in which local groups have overthrown their authoritarian regimes, sometimes with foreign assistance. It's therefore hard not to believe that such developments won't have increased North Korea's reluctance to ever give up its nuclear weapons. After all, the media is full of talk about possible air strikes against Iran, which doesn't have nuclear weapons – an option not even on the table for nuclear-armed North Korea.

What Not to Do About North Korea
Pretending nothing is wrong in North Korea is a mistake. But if great power conflict is to be avoided, there are a few things that the U.S., China and South Korea must not do.
Time for Secret Talks with China
The risk of a dangerous misunderstanding following the death of Kim Jong-il is real. The U.S. should propose secret talks with Beijing on how to move forward.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Still Being Used by Over a Million People Worldwide: Report
Samsung's reputation may have taken a huge hit in doing so, but the company announced the worldwide recall and halt of sales of the Galaxy Note 7 due to explosion cases associated with the smartphone. The South Korean company even urged its customers around the world to switch off the device and hand it back to the company for a refund, in order to ensure user safety. However, according to a latest report, over a million people like the device enough to continue using it despite the associated risks.
A large chunk of Galaxy Note 7 users have decided to not return their device as they either can't find a suitable replacement; like the device's features too much; or don't want to go through the replacement process, reports South Korean publication Korea JoongAng Daily. It might come as a surprise but the users are neglecting their personal safety despite the company itself cautioning them about the potential risks of keeping the device.
Some users are reportedly waiting for company's next flagship device and are refusing to 'downgrade' from the Note 7. However, besides the obvious risk of explosion, there are other complications associated in keeping the device. First, the refunds and exchange program started by Samsung for the smartphone will end soon, with December the deadline for initiating the refund in many countries.
Further, many airlines have banned the device, and some countries will fine you heavily if you are caught travelling with it. Apart from the reasons stated above, the after-sales service for the device is a dead-end as the company has halted the smartphone's production altogether.
If personal safety was not reason enough, rationality suggests that there are enough reasons to return the device. It should also be noted that by continued use of the Galaxy Note 7, users are not just risking their own safety, but also the safety of those around them.

A: Update API and Index API are two different things. In index API , you can over-write existing whole documents but then Update API , you can change or edit parts of the documents.
Under the hood , both are marking the original document deleted and creating a new document.

In my early 20s I spent three months in Nepal and India and since then I have always been obsessed with that part of the world. I absolutely love the people, their culture and food. Recently I had the privilege of photographing the first Indian wedding at Hualalai Four Seasons. It was a three day celebration full of beautiful traditions, music, dancing and so much love. The dinner the night before the wedding was very traditional. Everyone dressed in full Indian attire, there was Bollywood style performances and they had every type of curry dish you could imagine. There was even a henna station for all of their guests to enjoy! Shruti and Vikram live in the U.S. and wanted their wedding day to incorporate some American traditions as well. I think they did an amazing job of balancing old tradition with new! It was an absolutely beautiful day, one I won't forget!

My article, "Don't Connect Your Phone to Rental Cars" explained how rental cars (and your leased car!) can collect data from your smartphone which creates a vulnerability when the next driver takes the car.
The original post was a Business Advocate post at McDonald Hopkins.com, here. It was also cross-posted on LinkedIn, where it garnered nearly 30k hits.
The Feldman Report on CBS Radio – Detroit also picked up the story and mentioned the article.


I understand your discomfort. I was like that, too, when I first began my life in academia – which was virtually all male. In time, I learned to go some place quiet, take a deep cleansing breath, and then think out what I wanted to say. I rehearsed it, so it was smoothly delivered and unemotional. It gave me control of the situation and some practice giving bad news without being confrontational. I will admit I did lose it once, when one of my lab members did something way out of bounds. In this case, since I was in charge, I just let go. It felt good, I's ashamed to say.
Ido hope some of it helps!


Volunteers are people who love to contribute to cause whether it is for the elderly, poor, orphans etc. In the real state of life, these people take sheer selfless sense of willing to give back to the community. However, their devotion ought to be acknowledged. Sending them a thank you for volunteering note can work a long way in making a volunteer to feel appreciated.
Some people believe volunteering is about giving. On the other hand, it is viewed as wages in form of love and promotions.
Volunteers do not want to be thanked for helping others while they thank others for allowing them to be of help. Currently, the youth do everything they can to be different, but only a few are doing all they can to be make a difference in people's lives.
Use an open greeting if the person in question is someone you completely know. This means you can address them by name. It is ideal as this will make the person know you are specifically addressing him or her.
Avoid mixing ideas and go straight to the point on why you wrote the thank you for volunteering note. In this section, you can mention some of the things the person volunteered to do and what impact it brought. Mention how some of the activities he or she did has been effective towards the community.
You can use anecdotes to illustrate on what people think about the volunteering services. You could be addressing a single person or an organization at large.
Focus on the volunteer and your relationship to the volunteer just before you send a appreciation note. Take the extra time to write the note by hand. This will mean more to your volunteers and shows your dedication and time to focus on each of them.
In the note, talk about the volunteer's services directly by including the achievements the volunteer has done. Make sure you draw attention to it.
Mention the volunteer's service and how it is changing the society and improving it. You may opt to write a draft before writing the actual appreciation card. You can save the first version of the thank you for volunteering note where it can be for future reference.
Your thank you note does not need to be complicated neither does it have presidential address. It can be as short as possible provided it is a heartfelt gesture. Meaningful words are very important when you are trying to thank someone, whether a volunteer or not.
You should also think of how your organization can serve the volunteers better. If you wish to share an idea on what can be done to make work easier for volunteers to do, you can mention it in the note that you have been trying to achieve those goals. No matter the activities, let the volunteers know that you are willing to support them in what they do as much as they give you support and your organization.
If you are familiar with writing thank you for volunteering notes, write a lot of them. With practice, it will get easier and you will be better. All you have to do is to remember not to say thank you too many times. Once you become good at it, send a number of the appreciation cards each week than or as available as you would be. Sending them daily could easily get boring from repeating the same thing often.
Everyone at some point deserves an appreciation compliment in their lives, however, this has become common and it would be good to try sending out those messages in more composed and nice ways to show the intended recipients how much we mean by saying thanks… Alternatively, our timing is the most relevant factor to consider because the longer we take to send our gratitude, the less meaning it has. We should therefore, be punctual and considerate in the case where we have to send our appreciation notes to show appreciation.
Generally, thank you for volunteering notes are applicable in most cases. We just need to know where and when to use them as this could serve a great deal to the recipients of the given letter. Being appreciated gives you the urge to move on no matter the circumstances, hence, being supported make it even better since it restores confidence and uplifts the heart of helping among different kinds of people.
We greatly appreciate your services at the graduation party preparation. The event was a success, how I wish you had enough time to attend it. It is understood that you played a huge role to prepare the major things needed to be handled before the day of the graduation. We usually have people who run such activities but seems like they went for the holiday season. With the few staff, I thought I was not going to need extra hands in it but am glad you offered to help. Following your experience, I was impressed on how you kept things running with such efficiency. We could never have done it without your help. Thank you so much for volunteering.

Sorry it's a bit late but I wanted to update you on our giving to the end of February.
As you can see above February giving was excellent, at £11,500 over budget.
This year we've set the monthly budget a bit differently. Over the last few years we simply took the budgeted giving for the year and divided it by 12 to give each month's budgetted giving. This year we've tried to take into account that we know that in some months (such as January, February and August) the offerings are normally lower, and in other months (such as March and June) they are normally higher. Based on the old method this month's budgetted giving would have been £73,360, so either way we're well above budget.
For the year to date we're an even better £12,471 over budget which is great.
If offerings continue to be above budget it will allow us to do even more of what we currently do. Helping people of all ages and backgrounds find their way back to God. People in our local community, in the nation and in the nations.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in the grace of giving at Kerith.


YOU know how it was supposed to happen.
The United States Tomahawks would shrug off criticism that they were just a bunch of Aussies who went to a bucks weekend in Vegas, capture the hearts of everyone at the World Cup, make the quarter-finals and with the glow of their success still bright, we would have and end to the American Civil War.
And Apple Pope, Curtis Cunz, Spinner Howland and everyone else in our rich cast of colourful characters would live happily every after.
At this early juncture, it's important to fill in those who have more going on their lives than the political situation in an amateur competition played on parks in the most powerful nation on earth.
There are two leagues, right? One is the AMNRL, established by former Australian first grader David Niu, which is the officially recognised body for the game in the United States. They sent the aforementioned Tomahawks to the World Cup, where they indeed made the quarter-finals and warmed the cockles of most hearts.
Niu has since left to promote arena (American) football in Vhina. Connecticut Wildcats owner – and prop – Curtis Cunz has replaced him as league chairman.
The other competition is the USARL, which broke away three years ago in response to what it described as the autocratic administration of the AMNRL. The rebellion was led by the champion club in the AMNRL, the Jacksonville Axemen.
Its chairman is Australian Peter Ilfield.
Now, back to our central narrative: there was a committee formed to negotiate a ceasefire, an independent commission was nominated and then …. nothing. Two months on, we still have two leagues and emails being leaked which suggest the AMNRL is falling apart.
Our mission here, which we have accepted, is to figure out what went wrong. There are two broad theories I heard during my time in the US in January. One: that the USARL lost faith in the democratic power of their AMNRL counterparts. The other is that the USARL clubs got cold feet in handing over power to the independent commission.
"I would say it leans 80-20 towards the first one you said," Illfield tells Forty20 by phone from Philadelphia.
When negotiations were at a delicate stage, AMNRL team New York Raiders issued a media release declaring their "independence" from the negotiations and describing the AMNRL as "defunct". Independence from an independent commission? It could only happen in rugby league.
"When you are talking unification, you are talking a merger, right? And when you merge with someone, you merge your assets with theirs'," says Illfield. "During the course of negotiations, it became apparent there was a doubt over exactly what assets the AMNRL had.
"Two or three of their clubs came out distancing themselves from the negotiations. There seemed to be a degree of dysfunction there.
This no doubt contributed to the cold feet of the USARL clubs. They felt their fate was going to be guided for the next 12 months by an organisation in which a "dysfunctional" league had a big say. Support for the deal evaporated.
Instead, the USARL thought it best to strike while the iron was hot (the only think hot in North America this winter) and invite the quarrelling AMNRL clubs to join them. At the same time, fortuitously for the rebel competition, there was expansion in the south east with Tampa, Atlanta and central Florida joining the comp.
Atlanta have partnered with Leeds and be known as the Atlanta Rhinos.
The Invitation For Unification read: "The board of the USARL LLC has resolved to open the 2014 competition to all interested clubs in the eastern United States as well as announcing a Regional Conference in the southeast.
"Each club will become a member under the Constitution of the USARL and will have representation on the USARL board.
Just last week, a leaked email from the New York Knights attacked the foreign influence in the AMNRL and the Tomahawks.
"No offense to our friends in Australia but we want the game in America to be run exclusively by people who can physically be present at every game," said 'G' – who appears to be Knights coach Guillaume Cieutat.
That missive was clearly aimed at Steve Johnson, the Aussie who assembled the Tomahawks and who is also behind the Queensland western corridor NRL franchise bid. While it may appears the AMNRL is heading toward the bizarre position of running a national team but no clubs, Cunz tells Forty20 via facebook the establishment league is going nowhere.
"Why the merger fell through was totally not on us," Cunz writes.
"All their representatives agreed with me and the AMNRL representatives to a structure on paper. Then it went sour for done reason when it went back to their clubs. I don't know why.
"Believe me when I say I'm personally not going to quit in trying to give what the players from both players want….and that's a merge. We just want to play other teams like we did not to long ago.
The AMNRL will soon announce its competition structure for 2014. It continues to run the only recognised US national team. As things stand, it considers USARL players for selection after initially omitting them.
"The Rugby League International Federation has asked us to keep it updated with what we are doing," says Illfield.
But like international rugby league elswhere, the Tomahawks don't actually have any matches in their schedule for this year yet. And at the time of writing, neither does either competition.
Rugby league is, indeed, a funny game. So it's probably best just to have a laugh.
I am normally a fan of your reporting but this is a bit of a shallow article in sections Steve. It belittles the USARL and their dedicated efforts to advance the game in the USA. Why refer to them as a rebel league? That is not the case. They were a group of very dedicated players, administrators, coaches and team managers, many with years of RL experience who were not satisfied with the manner in which the AMNRL or the game was being run. The lack of transparency by the AMNRL was also very obvious, so starting up a new league made sense to literally hundreds of people. This does not make them rebels.
The AMNRL will have 5 domestic (mainland) teams at best in 2014. The NoVa Eagles have now announced they are leaving the AMNRL to join the USARL and I believe the South Hampton Dragons will not be fielding a team in the AMNRL in 2014. 5 domestic teams is zero advancement from the late 1990's, early 2000's when there were 4 or 5 teams running around a local soccer field. After 15 years they have achieved very little in relation to the US domestic game. They will claim there are many other teams that are 'development' teams which actually means 'potential teams who exist only on paper or have a handful of guys playing touch footy against themselves'. I hope those development teams do eventuate but what we see in the USARL is real development, at a grass roots level. They have initiated, developed and implemented a range of grass roots programs and done so very quickly. They have developed courses for coaches and referees and relevant associations. They now have a fast growing high school league and clinics and have this month introduced the USARL Pioneers so to say that neither competition has an international schedule planned is wrong as the Pioneers will play Jamaica in Jamaica next month.
It is clear to all who are directly involved in the game in the USA, that the AMNRL are struggling and that the USARL is the way to advance the game in the states. Curtis and Co need to hand over the reigns and allow a new group to lead the way as it is only a matter of time until the RLIF cause this to happen. Lets not even start on the RLWC team which was nothing short of a farce.
I don't like the negative connotation many people attach to the term 'Rebel group', with some saying the USARL have done the wrong thing by breaking away. That is not and was not the case in so far as them doing the wrong thing. Those of us involved in the game who are working hard to see it succeed don't think it is a laughing matter. Be great to see the RL world and journo's get behind the USARL as they will be the way forward for the game in the States and the AMNRL need to realize that, although I am sure they have already but just won't concede.
If you rebel, you're a rebel. The breakaway league I Italy describe themselves as rebels in press releases.
Reblogged this on Diary of a Rugby League fan.
Hi Steve, great article, and your dedication to international League is very admirable. I only hope the USA resolve their conflict soon. Just a heads-up, you wrote that no Tomahawks fixtures had been set for 2014; on the Canada Rugby League website they've announced the 2 Colonial Cup fixtures between Canada and USA on August 9 in Toronto and September 6 in Phily. Cheers, Murph.
The USA home game will not be in Philly. Rather for the first time it will be in New York City . Stay tuned to amnrl.org and amnrl on Facebook for updates.
