I've created a plugin that allows you to take your models and turn them into cut lists for your woodworking projects. A cut list is a table of parts used to make up a piece of cabinetry or furniture (such as a door, wall end, back or finished end).
What Cutlister allows you to do is select cabinets in your model (or the whole model) and generate various parts lists for printing and exporting into various formats. This plugin has similar features to AutoCAD's "Smartlister" software, but without the $2000 price tag.
.csv for importing into Excel/Pages.
Web page for easy viewing and fast printing.
Batched cut lists: Parts are grouped based on Material/Thickness. This is useful when you are cutting out your cabinet parts so you can "batch" your work by material/thickness, which is a common method for cutting large amounts of cabinet parts.
Individual cut lists: Parts are grouped based on the sub-assembly (group of a group). This is very useful when assembling a cabinet when you have multiple cabinets to build.
Full cut lists: Ungrouped list of all the parts in the model. Useful if you need a raw list of parts.
One of the other cool things the plugin allows for is easily creating your own output formats and structures by sub-classing the core classes (see the 'Cutlister/extensions/' folder for an example).
Cutlister could be used for other purposes other than woodworking, but that was what it was designed for. Please let me know if you end up doing something cool with it!
Note: The plugin has not been thoroughly tested on Windows yet, please report any issues you have!
I'll be working on creating a video to explain how to use Cutlister and explain more advanced usage soon.
... but since then has been completely re-written from the ground up to include a bunch of new features, new design and cleaned up code base among other things.
Interesting plugin. I'll have to take a look at it. I've been using Steve's cutlist plugin for some time now which works very well.
Will it sort sheet goods and hardware/parts by words added to component definition names? I do a lot of drawings from which I need cutlists but I don't usually apply materials.
Dave R wrote: Interesting plugin. I'll have to take a look at it. I've been using Steve's cutlist plugin for some time now which works very well.
You can do an "Individual" cut list which will sort parts (e.g. groups or components) by their sub-assembly which is basically a group that contains the items. For example, a sub assembly could be "dresser" which is a group of parts that make up the dresser.
The plugin respects both Group names and Component definition names equally in that regard.
It will not know what is a sheet/hardware/solid part if you do not apply a material to it since that is the mechanism in which the plugin determines what type it is. However, if you just need to sort by part within a sub-assembly, that should be simple in Excel; just export it as "CSV" and "Individual" cutlist and you should be fine.
Let me know if that was helpful or if I miss understood your question.
Finlay - something like this is badly needed! I have a different suggestion - why not implement dynamic component's attributes in Your plugin - this way we can put a lot of useful data - banding, grain direction, padding, joinery and etc. I think it is not practical to include cutting layouts - better to use external programs for this. This way the use of the plugin can be extended a lot, not only for woodworking. Now we can put tons of useful data in dynamic components, but no way to export and use it for production. This is a simple bookcase as a sample.

I'd love to see how people apply this to things other than woodworking as it should have the capability of doing so.
In regard to cutting layouts, I'm assuming you mean the Layout feature the original Cutlist plugin had? I know in our shop we don't necessarily use them but if they existed maybe we would. I felt the other implementation wasn't as flexible as I would have liked, that is why I have held off on integrating it.
I have (hopefully) built the plugin so that you could theoretically export parts to CNC files or other programs that need lists of parts in a particular format. I'd be interested in hearing any suggestion on this front.
and thanks for this plugin!
Does it exports only inches?
Thank you for your reply. I'll have to take a look at it.
dedmin wrote: Does it exports only inches?
Thanks for offering your plugin here. It's a good thing although it doesn't work for me with my preferred work flow.
Dave R wrote: Thanks for offering your plugin here. It's a good thing although it doesn't work for me with my preferred work flow.
Could you elaborate more? I'm interested in hearing what others are doing out there... Is it doing something different than what you are used to with Steve's plugin?
This plugin is very much a work in process and new features/functionality will be added as time goes on. Always open to suggestions.
As I said before, I rarely apply materials to models from which I generate cut lists. I don't want to have to add another step to the modeling process so that things can be sorted into lumber, sheet materials or hardware. Steve's CutList v4.x works perfectly for me in that respect. I think I'll stick to that. It does metric, too.
SketchUp Length class is pretty much all you need to use. Everything in SketchUp is internally in inches, but the Length class will convert the internal units into a presentable string in the current model units.
Length, Numeric and String all have methods useful when dealing with units.

I see. Are you using the sort by component name option in his plugin? Could you send me a drawing so I can see what you're doing and maybe I could integrate it.
I'll be working on metric shortly, shouldn't be too tough. I left it out initially because I needed to focus on other aspects.

Thanks thomthom I'll be looking into that shortly!
Dana, I am adding words like 'ply', 'MDF', etc. to component definition names to get them to sort into the Sheet Materials section of the cut list.
I don't have a model available at the moment but I'll hunt around and see what I can find.
That is what would matter most for us here in Europe I think. Thank you ishboo for your contribution with this plugin!
Dave R wrote: Dana, I am adding words like 'ply', 'MDF', etc. to component definition names to get them to sort into the Sheet Materials section of the cut list.
If you could send me a drawing when you find one that would be great.
Btw, in what capacity do you do woodworking if you don't mind me asking? Like, do you do it as a hobby, a one man shop or a medium to large cabinet shop?
Are you speaking about the layout feature that Steve's plugin does? Currently Cutlister does not do layouts but may some day.
unclebim wrote: :thumb: That is what would matter most for us here in Europe I think. Thank you ishboo for your contribution with this plugin!
Yes, metric will be the next thing I work on!
You certainly don't have to add that feature on my account. Steve's plugin works perfectly for my needs and so I see little reason to change at this point.
My woodworking is basically for myself, my family and a few clients at this time. But, I do a lot of work with SketchUp for a number of clients which includes, among other things, detailed construction plans for various pieces of furniture. Once in awhile it might be kitchen cabinets or similar but primarily its more fine furniture types of pieces. While I might use materials for illustrations (such as for magazine articles or presentations), I don't use materials on models for the plan documents. And when I apply materials there might be as many as three different materials applied to the faces of the components. Typically there'll be a flat or rift sawn face, a quarter sawn face and end grain. And I might have three to seven different material images for a given wood species. How would your plugin deal with three different materials in the same component?
I'm doing my first serious woodworking project needing detailed cutlists by material. I already created most of the project, a baby crib, in sketchup before starting using this plugin.
I still haven't been able to figure out how to apply a material to a Component Definition. Everything I've tried just applies to a specific instance. In either case I can see many scenarios where Component Instance is more useful then Component Definition. What if I was making something with identically shaped parts but with different materials for a visual effect. Example: inlayed chess board or cutting board?
I would defer to someone with more experience with this plug in. It might work better to see if an Instance material is specified first and if not default to the Definition material.
Applying a material to a component definition only requires you to open the component for editing and applying the material to the faces. This will cause the material to show on every instance. Instances of a component implies that they are identical. If, in the case of your chessboard you've drawn the squares as individual tiles and used instances of the same component, you would use Make Unique on those that would be made of a different material. Although the dimensions of the tiles would be the same between the light and the dark, being made out of different species of wood means they aren't identical. In SU use Make Unique to separate them into two different definitions.
If you are applying materials without opening the components for editing, you give up the ability to control grain orientation. You can use vertical and horizontal versions of the material but you then have two different materials in your cut list.
Thanks Dave for some clarification. I'm not worried about grain at this stage. I'm just trying to get a good cut list so I can figure out how much lumber I need to purchase. I was hoping to avoid assigning to all of the faces however it wouldn't be a big deal to edit and select all before applying the material.
So next question what's the fastest way to show the board feet information. I've found in the parts object where its being stored and calculated. Do I need to change the renderers? Ideally, it would be great if there was a checklist to show/hide the extra columns such as area, volume, and board feet that are stored in the part object.
It is a simple matter to select all faces in a component before adding the material and if you have multiple instances of the component then of course they all get painted in one fell swoop.
I'm not using this specific plugin for cut lists so I can't answer your question about displaying board feet. For the plugin I do use, board feet are shown in the table for each line and there is a total at the bottom as well as totals by materials. Sheet materials and hardware can be separated out as well so the board foot calculation is only done for the solid lumber.

It doesn't yet show up in CSV but would be trivial to add (not sure I will add this though... needs more thought). Check out the renderers.rb file for "class HTMLReneder" and the method "section_footer" so you can see what is going on.

[ January 13, 2022 ] Here's Why Rapid COVID Tests Are So Expensive and Hard to Find	Around the Web
Admiral Chester Ward and Other Insiders Dire Warnings About What's Transpiring Today
August 7, 2021 Russ Winter Articles by Russ Winter, International News, Politics, US News, Winter Watch Articles 13
Biden's masked US delegation for the Council on Foreign Relations. PHOTO: White House
"The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all-powerful, one-world government." –– Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy Admiral Chester Ward
"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." — British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli
"There is no proletarian, not even a Communist movement, that has not operated in the interests of money, in the direction indicated by money, and for the time being permitted by money — and that without the idealists among its leaders having the slightest suspicion of the fact." — Oswald Spengler, Author of "Decline of the West"
Rear Admiral Chester Ward, a former Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member of 16 years and Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 60, issued a dire warning to the American people as to CFR's intentions. For information purposes, I shall cite an excerpt of his warning:
"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common–they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States.
A second clique of international members in the CFR … comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents.
Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."
Dan Smoot, a former supervising member of the FBI headquarters staff in the Washington Office, and one of the first and primary researchers into the CFR, summarized the organization's purpose as follows:
"The ultimate aim of the Council on Foreign Relations … is … to create a one world socialist system and make the United States an official part of it."
This of course would all be done in the name of democracy.
Congressman John R. Rarick, deeply concerned over the growing influence of the CFR, was one of the members in Congress making a concerted effort to expose the organization. Rarick warned:
"The Council on Foreign Relations –dedicated to one world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education, and mass communication media-should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. constitution and our free-enterprise system.
"Yet the Nation's "right -to-know-machinery " –the news media–usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members, and their activities. And I find that few university students and graduates have even heard of the Council of Foreign Relations.
"The CFR is "THE ESTABLISHMENT! Not only does it have the influence and power in key decision making positions at the highest levels of. government to apply pressure from above but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the United States from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one world dictatorship."
In the event that I had any doubts remaining over the real intent of the CFR they were removed after becoming aware of the statements made over the years by the CFR itself, advocating world government. For example, on 17 February, 1950, CFR member James Warburg, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated,
"We shall have world government whether or not you like it–by conquest or consent."
'Dr. Strangelove'
From Henry Makow on the CFR while examining the document "The Occult Technology of Power" (1974)
The Illuminati bankers use thousands of seemingly innocuous associations to subvert and direct society. This is a way of recruiting accomplices by subtly signalling to opportunists which policies are blessed by the money power.
Read: Zeroing in on Illuminist Secret Societies
Occult Technology says the "hierarchy of prestigious associations is capped by a single prestige society: The Council of World Affairs…. The Council is at the heart of what is called the Establishment and we are at the heart of the Council."
Founded in 1949, this organization claims to be a "private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to creating an informed citizenry on matters of national and international significance."
Since we hear so little of it, I believe everything he says applies doubly to the Council on Foreign Relations. Here are his main points:
This organization is "a front for a secret society." This means that the rank-and-file are not told the real objectives of the organization, i.e. a veiled world banker tyranny dedicated to satanism. (If their goals were wholesome, they wouldn't need to use deception.)
"All other agents are misled as to the bulk of our objectives and motives. Their knowledge is restricted to the details required by their assignments."
The Council is "invaluable for propagating our policy decisions to our entourage without revealing our motives and strategy. In many instances, policy can be successfully sold to our entourage and thus transmitted to the multitudes by merely airing it along with appropriate rationalizations in a single awe-inspiring session of the Council."
"Membership is no longer a reward for success as much as it is a prerequisite for major success. Without Council membership only the most outstanding can achieve national prominence. With membership, glaring mediocrities, with the "right" attitudes, achieve prominence.
Addressing kakistocracy and negative selection: "In fact, mediocrities are much more adapted to propagating our policy rationalizations and less likely to detect and oppose our ulterior motives.
"A power lusting mediocrity is not likely to judge his benefactors too harshly or inquire diligently into the nature of the power structure that brought him what he fears was undeserved success. The vanity of even idealistic, committed humanitarians militates against such a course.
"The Council is now a giant employment agency of loyalists ready to parrot our public line from the commanding posts of government, foundations, broadcasting, industry, banking, and publishing.
"Although Council members are encouraged to take sides and bicker over the diversionary issues we create to entertain and enfeeble the populace, their solidarity in defending our power structure, root and branch, when pressed is a sight to behold!
"And to think that most see themselves as righteous defenders of the public good while they dismiss whispered rumors of our power structure as "kooky paranoia."
"Classical secret societies with elaborate circles within circles no longer play a major role in finance capitalist power structures. Most wide membership secret societies have degenerated into middle class excuses for escaping the wife and kids once a month for the company of men.
"But secret societies were a major weapon of our bourgeoisie forebearers in their struggle with the old feudal order of kings and princes. Under authoritarian despotism of the old style, the secret society was the only place a free-thinking man could express himself.
"Through threats of exposure, loyalty oaths, patronage, deception, and rewards we bound such malcontents into a fierce force for our [satanic] revolution.
"The multitude of degrees, occult mumbo-jumbo, and vague Humanitarianism concealed the real goals of our secret societies from the bulk of the membership. The roles of the "Illuminated" Masonic Lodges in European revolutions were decisive in our final victory over the old order."

13 Comments on Admiral Chester Ward and Other Insiders Dire Warnings About What's Transpiring Today
Simple Citizen August 7, 2021 at 3:19 pm
Well what can I say? This thread is quite accurate and right based on anyone that I have ever encountered from the CFR. The only thing I would add is as follows:
They are told that membership makes them "special" so they tend to act accordingly in a room, which can mean that anything they say has immense significance, while anything you say is either ignored or viewed as the voice of a "small mind".
They begin picking up potential members from colleges and universities, offering "a select few" internships. They do spend some money on the "grooming process" and invest in showing the young mind the value of their network. Often there is reciprocity between collegiate clubs (e.g. the Harvard Club, The Yale Club and The UPenn Club comes to mind), other think tanks and associated organizations.
Ironically, although the CFR is an American organization (with a global perspective), they seem to have a deep admiration for Great Britain, the Anglo-American Empire (reference to Mr. Webster Tarpley's works), (some quasi-envy for) Chatham House and a love of "The City" (not London, but The City) with its historic system of guilds; oh yeah, and some of them will actually tell you that they have an account with Coutts & Co. or in Jersey or one of the other Channel Islands. Why they will tell you this? Don't know. Yet, my guess would be sort of like the fool who wishes to show everyone his Black Amex card, or some such nonsense (does Amex still even have a Black Card?)
They believe that the U.N, the WHO, the BIS, the World Bank, the IMF, the Trilateral Commission, ASEAN, the E.U., the (failed, but still in the works) African Union, the Hague and any other globalist organization is of paramount importance. Only the smallest minds (namely other Americans) would ever believe that "all politics is local". That is such a quaint idea from the hearts and minds of "simpletons".
So yeah, this thread sticks is quite accurate from what I have come across.
Julius Skoolafish August 7, 2021 at 4:53 pm
Hi SC – was going to post this separately but I will segue onto your comment by way of greetings …
"The Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute of Foreign Affairs can trace their roots back to a secret organisation founded and funded by the British mining magnate, Cecil Rhodes.
On his death, he left his fortune to maintain his dream of a "one world government" after he became fabulously wealthy working for the Rothschilds exploiting the people of South Africa."
That quote comes from the start of episode 2 but readers, do watch the entire series "NWO: Communism Through the Backdoor" by Denis Wise.
https://archive.org/details/NEWWORLDORDERCommunismByTheBackdoorPt1YouTubeviaTorchbrowser.com/NEW+WORLD+ORDER+-+Communism+by+the+backdoor+pt1+-+YouTube%5Bvia+torchbrowser.com%5D.mp4
I also came across this …
• Gary Allen – The C.F.R. Conspiracy to rule the world
https://balderexlibris.com/index.php?post/Allen-Gary-The-CFR-Conspiracy-to-rule-the-world
"As better than a third of the world has fallen to the Communists, and our sons have died by the scores of thousands to fight no-win wars from Korea to Vietnam, Americans have puzzled over why taxi drivers can understand the threat of the International Communist Conspiracy while the "experts" of the State Department cannot."
Simple Citizen August 8, 2021 at 12:03 am
Julius, great to see you here and read this post. Par excellence as usual.
The Gary Allen reference "rings a bell", but I will definitely need to play catch-up on the Dennis Wise work.
Although I have read many accounts of the life of Cecil Rhodes (some in texts, others in journals or articles), the most recent (when I say recent, I mean maybe two years) one I read was in this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Planet-Financial-Cartel-Mankind/dp/1645720004/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&qid=1628373291&refinements=p_27%3ARodney+Howard-Browne&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Rodney+Howard-Browne
Mr. Browne did a pretty good, although not too in-depth, job of covering Mr. Rhodes life. Although I am not exactly sure that I could recommend it for you simply because you are already far more knowledgeable about this topic than any information the text could provide you with. What I can recommend is that if you know someone or are on another forum with folks who may not be as knowledgeable on the topic of this man, then Mr. Browne's work would form a very good primer.
By the way, that last quotation is excellent and works very well on this thread.
Lastly, I saw just a little bit of Mr. Novak Djokovic melt down at those games (I am actively boycotting them and will not even call them by name), in doing so , I did think of you and that excellent clip of two great tennis legends hitting the ball back and forth in (I believe) 1980.
Hope all is well with you and where you are. Lock downs and suppression would seem to be on the menu where I believe you to be (not calling it out here out of respect to you, but I do believe you mentioned it once in a discussion); in either case, I hope no such issues are (personally) affecting you.
All my best and I will look into Mr. Wise's work,
Just for fun, let's build the perfect candidate (ideal candidate) for membership in the CFR:
(Please note: Now you might notice that many of the most well known members do not have these credentials, but it is the candidates who are not in the spotlight and do not want the spotlight that have the background more closely associated to what I am about to write.)
Let's start with preschool:
If mom and / or dad are a true power couple, from a well established family, then you will more than likely be in NYC or DC or even overseas at the time of your birth. Hence, you are more than likely going to be in:
Horace Mann (NYC)
NCS (DC)
St. Columbus (DC)
St. Albans (DC)
Sidwell Friends (DC)
The Washington Market School (NYC)
Rodeph Sholom (NYC)
Or any "American School" (literally called this name) somewhere overseas
I am sure I am missing quite a few, because this is simply a list of examples and not a comprehensive guide in any shape or form.
Then you move on up to either a special kindergarten or transition to a lower grammar school within the same institution (as would be the case with Sidwell, St. Alban's and NCS).
Now if you are Jewish or lean toward an deep association with Israel, then your family will move to D.C. so that you may attend the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School if you are not and you did not continue with through your nursery school to their grammar school then:
The River School (DC)
Georgetown Day School (DC)
Holy Trinity (DC)
Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School (NYC)
Now assuming you parents are hardcore power brokers then you will move on at the Third Grade to a different school to set in motion your ascension to the top (the cream does rise), which may have you going to:
Landon (DC / Maryland – Boys)
Holton Arms (DC / Maryland – Girls)
or you will hang in there until the 8th grade and wind up at one of the Eight Schools Association (ESA – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Schools_Association) institutions, or if your parents are interested in your focusing in school (or perhaps they are a believer in the Earth being too populated and hope you just might become a lesbian) then they might send you to Ms. Porter's.
Yet, let's assume one of the parents was a diplomat and you did attend one of those "American Schools", now you find yourself back in the states because that parent is working for the U.N, but would rather commute from N.J. or you find yourself in yet another nation of a new State Department assignment; how in the world are you going to make it into the heavily competitive collegiate market?
Well, do not despair; there is a solution. In New Jersey you could attend the Lawrenceville School (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrenceville_School) or (as you will notice in the Wiki) you might notice the close association with an institution such as this one with:
The ESA
Ten Schools Admission Association
The G20 / G30 (they keep changing the number – not my fault) schools
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G30_Schools)
Now since most of you know the Ivy League, Cambridge, Oxford, the Sorbonne, U of Geneva, MIT, etc. I shall not bother you with any lists. What I will provide you with instead is the ideal background:
Yale Undergrad (with clubs and associations)
Harvard Masters
Cambridge or Oxford PhD
To show you are not a rigid elitist type, you will need certificates (post Baccalaureate from Georgetown U. and the London School of Economics)
Then join more clubs. Do sometime in government or with a large bank. Have a place in NYC or DC. Spend time in the Hamptons or on the Eastern Shore (maybe Rehoboth, DE). Get to Europe no and again. Spend time (like a summer) working for a nonprofit in Asia or perhaps a friendly nation in Africa, and voilà you should be primed for a call from the CFR.
Now I did leave out a whole bunch of other things you could do to "get the tap on the shoulder", but this will give you or your offspring a basic roadmap toward the hallowed halls in NYC and DC.
Good luck, and G– sp—; oh wait you are a globalist and most likely worship the other guy in the basement apartment, so I will just say "keep on truckin' toward that final rest stop!" if there ever is one in this kind of life journey.
AC August 7, 2021 at 10:48 pm
Ah, the good old CFR. Don't forget their Siamese Twin, that doesn't get near the (alternative) press it deserves- The Council for National Policy. Peter Dale Scott even argued they were more powerful than the CFR in many ways. I've also heard many suggest that the 'Atlantic Council' is taking the CFRs place, or that the two are kind of merging- becoming a kind of hybrid operation. So worth looking into that one, too.
A lot of the foundational Deep Politics literature does stress the importance of the CFR/Trilaterals, integral w the League of Nations- which are really an appendage of those Pan-European, but primarily Rothschild/British Roundtable groups, usually known as 'The Pilgrim Society' and '1001 Club.' That seems to be the source of most of this CV-19 official doctrine as well, tracing back to the 'Imperial College London' as the source for the narrative(s) the globe isn't allowed to question. If you take the whole history of Opium/Heroin, Rothschilds marrying w the Sassoons, and their basic usurpation of the London/Banking Establishment- the 'Secret Society' that is running all of these fronts is actually the International Crime Syndicate (you often mention) made up of Bankers, Mafiosi, and Intelligence- some of whom crossover, are crypto-agents in politics/business, but are the Oligarchs who run all of the so-called 'Tax Havens,' Laundering networks in Offshore accounting which makes them a kind of Kabbalistic-Brahmin class, untouchable by the law, making opaque international transactions that can't be linked back to them, at least in a conventional sense. It's obvious that's who's doing it, though.
Best books to kind of get an idea of that are (absolute must-read) 'Treasure Islands' by Nicholas Shaxson, 'McMafia' by Misha Glenny, and 'ZeroZeroZero' by Roberto Saviano. They are especially great for people who are already well read in the more vetted fringe literature (like your mention of Nesta Webster, or people like Doug Valentine), and for someone with more wonky knowledge like Russ, I'm sure there would be quite a bit of insight from those, because of all the web-like economic activity described in them. That can help fill in some blanks, and link those three together- but it seems that those committees are more the private planning operations that take place, after the 'rough drafting' is already done, and a more glossy discussion needs to take place by certain diplomatic figures.

Well that was inspirational, so thank you. Although I will point out the ironic twist of that former Soviet area of Europe, our dear leader's current home (just kidding on the "dear leader" bit RW) and the title Winter Fire, what strikes me is that it is almost a fair fight.
Unfortunately, if we were to have a fair fight here, then you would have to deal with the "non-lethal" arsenal that can f-ckin fry you such as the ADS (which is now kind of quaint and old) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System.

That thing can clear a street in no time, amongst healthy zombies. Start adding in the magnetic jab and a bunch of idiots on meth and all you will see is carnage of medieval proportions. As it is with the magnetism of the con job "cure", 5G gonna fry a whole bunch of the sheeple.
Perhaps if someone had F9 (I did not see it, but I saw a trailer, not by choice) magnetism (which does exist – think junk yard magnets that are simply shrunk down and juiced), then you might, just might be able to even the playing field a bit. Yet, then they would probably go for the drone and the 50 cal. Still I think we could survive a protest in Latin America; just sayin…
P.S. Oh yeah, what I am speaking of with F9. Please remember America that it is all about family, all about magnetism (2:04 marker) and they send these fools into space:

It would not be the first time that a nation, defeated on the battlefield and, as it were, annihi-lated as a political being, has deprived its conquerors of the most sublime fruit of victory by imposing on them the yoke of its own thought. —Leo Strauss, NaturalRightandHistory,1953

When you buy your ticket you pay both the good guys and the bad guys. The success of the presentation depends on the ability of the theatrical company to get the audience wrapped up in the plot. The greater the audience participation the greater the success. Real success is achieved when the audience becomes so emotionally involved in the plot that they begin to think it's the real thing. The profits from these theatrical extravaganzas go to those who put up the 'seed' money and stage the shows. Don't misunderstand! The Americans, Canadians, English, Germans, Russians, Japanese and other nationalities who fought and died in the various theaters of war' during this century weren't play-acting. They were deadly serious about what they were doing. FTo them war was a life and death struggle. What few of them realized was that everything was carefully programmed to a carefully prepared script.p54

Eustace Mullins states:
Sennholz claims that the Federal Reserve System was drafted in 1917 for the purpose of financing government expenditures for World War I. I proved in my work that it was secretly drafted in 1910 by Paul Warburg at the behest of the Rothschilds in order to finance World War I and provide capital for the various belligerent powers, not merely the United States. Here again, one is appalled at the consistent disinformation.

Provisioning Germany in WW1 to keep it, the War going:
A patriotic British woman who had operated a small hospital in Belgium for several years, Edith Cavell, wrote to the Nursing Mirror in London, April 15, 1915, complaining that the "Belgian Relief" supplies were being shipped to Germany to feed the German army.
The Germans considered Miss Cavell to be of no importance, and paid no
attention to her, but the British Intelligence Service in London was appalled
by Miss Cavell's discovery, and demanded that the Germans arrest her as a spy.
Sir William Wiseman, head of British Intelligence, and partner of Kuhn
Loeb Company, feared that the continuance of the war was at stake, and
secretly notified the Germans that Miss Cavell must be executed. The
Germans reluctantly arrested her and charged her with aiding prisoners of
war to escape. The usual penalty for this offense was three months
imprisonment, but the Germans bowed to Sir William Wiseman's demands,
and shot Edith Cavell, thus creating one of the principal martyrs of the First
World War.
With Edith Cavell out of the way, the "Belgian Relief" operation continued,
although in 1916, German emissaries again approached London officials
with the information that they did not believe Germany could continue
military operations, not only because of food shortages, but because of
financial problems. More "emergency relief" was sent, and Germany
continued in the war until November, 1918.

Immediately following the war the British government, acting
on orders from their hidden masters in the City, clamped a blockade on Germany. This move had a devastating effect on the
German people. On March 4th, 1919, Winston Churchill declared
in the House of Commons that Britain was "enforcing the blockade
with vigor. . . This weapon of starvation falls mainly on the
women and children, upon the old, the weak and the poor. . ."
(The Nation, June 21, 1919, p. 980)
Professor Quigley tells us that "the results of the blockade
were devastating. Continued for nine months after the armistice,
it caused the deaths of 800,000 persons. . ." (Tragedy and Hope,
p. 261). During the four years of the war Germany lost 1,600,000
dead. The German death rate during the blockade was five and
a half times higher than during the war!
The final 'treaty,' reached with the connivance of the International Bankers, was recognized as a cruel hoax by many observers.
Philip Snowden, who later became a member of the British Parliament, made an accurate assessment: "The treaty should satisfy
brigands, imperialists and militarists. It is the death-blow to those
who expected the end of the war to bring peace. It is not a peace
treaty, but a declaration of another war. It is the betrayal of
democracy and of the fallen in the war. The treaty exposes the
true aims of the Allies" (Empire of "The City," p. 42).
Lord Curzon stated that the agreement reached at Versailles
was "not a peace treaty, it is simply a break in hostilities."
Lloyd-George later observed that "we have written a document
that guarantees war in twenty years. . . When you place conditions on a people [Germany] that it cannot possibly keep, you
force it either to breech the agreement or to war. P119
Germany in the early 1930's was an International Banker
created time-bomb, waiting for a Hitler type individual to come on
the scene and seize control.
The thoroughly documented evidence regarding the heavy
involvement of leading American banking and industrial interests
in the rise of Hitler's Third Reich is a matter of public record.
https://newamericangovernment.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/JewsDeclareWarOnGermany1933.pdf
These measures were necessary because FDR's backers were planning to
involve the U.S. in the Second World War. Any popular political opposition to
Roosevelt might have swept him out of office in 1940, just when he was needed to
bring off the Pearl Harbor attack. On the morning of Pearl Harbor, Gen. Marshall,
his Chief of Staff, met secretly with Maxim Litvinoff (married to Ivy Low of England),
to assure the Russians that everything was going according to plan. Marshall later
testified before Congress that he "couldn't remember" where he was on Pearl
Harbor Day.
The "managed conflict" was well on its way. Jacques Rueff points out that
Schacht did not invent Hitler's monetary policy; it was imposed on Germany "by
American and British creditors to finance war preparations and finally unleash war
itself (The Monetary Sins of the West). Rueff also points out that the Standstill
Agreement of 1931 allowing Germany a moratorium on war debts through the
1930s was an amicable pact between the London, New York and German branches
of the Warburg and Schroder houses. Max Warburg remained Schacht's deputy at
the Reichsbank until 1938; Kurt von Schroder then became his deputy. (Schacht's
father had been Berlin agent for the Equitable Life Insurance Co. of New York.) The
industrialist levies for Hitler (the Circle of Friends) were paid into the Schroder
Bank. Throughout the 1930s, Hitler was duped into persevering in his desire for
friendship with England, an alliance originally proposed jointly by Theodore
Roosevelt and the Kaiser in 1898 between the three Nordic powers, England,
Germany and the United States. The Schroders assured Hitler than their AngloGerman Fellowship in England was a hundred times more influential than it actually
was. With such figures as the Astors and the Chamberlains supporting rapport with
Germany, Hitler was persuaded that war with England was impossible. In 1933 he
had announced his discovery that Marx, Lenin and Stalin had all said that before
international Communism could triumph, England and her Empire must be
destroyed. "I am willing to help defend the British Empire by force if called upon," he
declared. In 1936, Hitler arranged for meetings to take place between English and
German diplomats, but the desired result was never attained, as the British had
only one goal, to lull Hitler into a sense of false security until they could declare war
against him.
To lure Hitler into World War II, it was necessary to guarantee him adequate
supplies of such necessities as ball bearings and oil. Jacob Wallenberg of the
Swedish Enskilda Bank, which controlled the giant SKF ball bearing plant, furnished
ball bearings to the Nazis throughout the war. The anti aircraft guns sending flak
against American air crews turned on SKF ball bearings. Its American plant, SKF of
Philadelphia, was repeatedly put on the Proclaimed List, and each time, Dean
Acheson removed it.
President William S. Farish of Standard Oil refueled Nazi ships and submarines
through stations in Spain and Latin America. When Queen Elizabeth recently came
to the U.S., the only family she visited was the Farishes. Throughout the war, the
British paid royalty to Ethyl Standard Corp. on the gasoline used by German
bombers who were destroying London.

RABBI RABINOVICH'S SPEECH OF JANUARY 12TH, 1952
You remember the success of our propaganda campaign during the 1930's, which aroused anti-American passions in Germany at the same time we were arousing anti-German passions in America, a campaign which culminated in the Second World War.

"Hitler and the German people didn't want this war. We didn't answer Hitlers various petitions for peace. Now we have to admit that he was right. Instead of a cooperation with Germany, which he had offered us, now stands the gigantic, imperialistic might of the Sovjets. I feel ashamed to see how the same intentions which we accused Hitler of now are pursued under a different name." – Sir Hartley Shawcross, British chief-accuser in Nuerenberg.

. The
behind the scenes power wielded by this firm is indicated by the fact that Sir Montagu Norman,
Governor of the Bank of England for many years, was a partner of Brown, Shipley and
Company.* Considered the single most influential banker in the world, Sir Montagu Norman was
organizer of "informal talks" between heads of central banks in 1927, which led directly to the
Great Stockmarket Crash of 1929.
The financial editor of "The Daily Herald" of London wrote on Sept. 30, 1933 of "Mr. Norman's
decision to give the Nazis the backing of the Bank (of England.)" John Hargrave, in his biography

BlackBerry cancels two BB10 handsets as woes continue
By Luke Johnson December 24, 2013 7:31 pm GMT
BlackBerry has cancelled two upcoming BlackBerry 10 handsets as its 2014 developer and investor conference is also given the chop.
The latest round of BlackBerry handset cancelations comes just days after the Canadian manufacturer announced a staggering third quarter loss exceeding £2.7 billion, the latest in a long line of negative financial reports.
The two scrapped phones have been doing the rounds online in recent weeks under the monikers of the BlackBerry Café and Kopi, although detailed specifications of the unconfirmed models have remained a mystery.
Making the announcement, the company stated that it had "made the decision to cancel plans to launch two devices to mitigate the identified inventory risk."
Following the launch of the first BlackBerry 10 powered handsets back in January, the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10, the operating system has failed to reignite the manufacturer's ailing smartphone stakes.
As well as canning two upcoming phones, BlackBerry has confirmed that it no longer intends to host BlackBerry Live 2014 next year.
"We've taken a look at how to best meet our goals with BlackBerry events, and today we're announcing that we will not be hosting a BlackBerry Live conference in 2014," the company confirmed via a statement on its official blog.
They added: "Instead, we're planning to continue with an engaging line-up of smaller, targeted events taking place all around the world over the next 12 months. These events are designed with a greater focus on the specific business, developer, and partner audiences, and will allow you to get the most out of your attendance."
While the cancelation of an annual company event might not sound like such a big deal, BlackBerry Live has been running under one guise or another since its first holding in 2002 as the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, and has acted as a launch platform for a number of its biggest releases.

Mustafa Ali may be out of Sunday's Elimination Chamber match due to injury, according to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp.
The injury is apparently not due to the eye injury that he suffered last week during his match with Randy Orton, but due to a concussion that he suffered at a house show on Sunday night, according to PWInsider.
Ali reportedly assured WWE officials that he can work, but WWE is being cautious, Sapp says.
WWE is working on possible replacements if Ali can't be cleared in time. According to Fightful, WWE is planning to do a storyline where Randy Orton is blamed for injuring Ali and taking him out of the match. As of tonight's Raw, he was still being advertised.

Home Business Help government steer Ghana out of economic hardship – Danquah Institute
Help government steer Ghana out of economic hardship – Danquah Institute
The head of the Danquah Institute Antoinette Tsiboe-Darko
The executive director of the Danquah Institute, Antoinette Tsiboe-Darko has urged Ghanaians to support the government in its efforts to rebound the economy from the current crisis.
According to her, much as the government is largely responsible for formulating policies to steer the country out of its current condition, it is also incumbent on "us as citizens to complement these efforts by contributing our quotas towards building back the economy."
"Today, due to our interconnectedness to the global marketplace, and as the impact of external forces on our everyday lives will continue, we are faced with unforeseen challenges of the future and these are not challenges we have asked for as a people. We actually do not relish the situation we find ourselves in, but we are here and together as one, we must strive to build our nation," Tsiboe-Darko said at an economic forum organised by the Danquah Institute (DI) in Accra.
The forum, under the theme: "Restoring macroeconomic stability and sustainable economic growth; our collective responsibility," brought together a host of resource persons, civil society organisations (CSOs), students, and members of the public to deliberate on how to support the government to navigate this hard times.
Tsiboe-Darko recounted how the government had managed to keep the country afloat even in the face of the dreaded coronavirus pandemic. She said the government had managed the resource envelop of the country so well prior to the influx of the virus recording year-on-year single digit inflation continuously for four years, stabilised the cedi against its major trading partners and kept the country on a high growth trajectory.
Twin crises
She said though Ghana is not the only country feeling the brunt of the twin crises of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, its situation is peculiar given that this is not the first time the country finds itself in such a precarious economic condition, therefore something must be done to prevent the reoccurrence of such situation in future.
Present at the deliberations where the chairperson of the forum, Professor Eric Assibey, Owusu Adu Sarkodie, an economist at the University of Ghana, Kwadwo Opoku, also an economist at the University of Ghana, development economist, Agyapomaa Gyeke-Darko, George Domfe, and Ama Boafo-Arthur, a lecturer at the Department of Distance Education, University of Ghana.
Proffering solutions on the current economic hardship, Adu-Sarkodie encouraged the government to improve its revenue mobilisation effort. He said one way to do this is to use digital platforms to effectively monitor "our tax collection and clamp down on persons who evade taxes."
He said the government must also trim the list of companies who are exempt from paying taxes as these exemptions come at a cost to the state.
On his part, Opoku encouraged the government to improve its exchange rate management. He said in doing this, the government must establish an Exchange Rate Stabilisation Fund on purchases on forex to help stabilise the cedi in periods of volatility. He added that this will help the government to properly manage the country's exchange rate regime.
Gyeke-Darko said the government must move to make state-owned enterprises (SOEs) independent, stressing that this is one of the sustainable ways the government can free itself from the liabilities of these companies that do not contribute significantly to its revenue.

Ivan Asen  (en bulgare :  ; valaque : Ioan Asen I, grec : Ιωάν Ασένου Α) est un souverain bulgare (tsar) qui régna de 1189 à 1196 sur le Second Empire bulgare.

Origine
Il est le fondateur de la dynastie des Assénides (quelquefois Asanides), qui régna sur ce qui est aujourd'hui la Macédoine du Nord, la Grèce du nord, la Bulgarie et le sud de la Roumanie, au début du « Royaume des Bulgares et des Valaques ». À l'époque des nationalismes (), son héritage fut disputé entre les historiens bulgares et roumains qui travaillèrent alors à revendiquer pour cette dynastie une ascendance exclusivement bulgare ou exclusivement valaque, sauf pendant le régime communiste, lorsqu'il fut au contraire instrumentalisé dans le cadre de la promotion de la Grande amitié prolétarienne bulgaro-roumaine ; depuis la chute de ce régime en 1989-90, les historiens modernes reconnaissent mieux tant l'importante composante bulgare et slavonne de l'histoire de la Roumanie, que l'importante composante valaque de l'histoire de la Bulgarie et pour les y encourager, une Commission mixte inter-académique bulgaro-roumaine d'histoire a été instituée le .

Règne
À la suite de la révolte des Bulgares et des Valaques qui eut lieu sous le règne d'Isaac II Ange. il se mit, avec son frère Pierre IV de Bulgarie, à la tête de ses compatriotes et secoua le joug des empereurs byzantins, vers 1186.

Il régna conjointement avec Pierre, et établit sa capitale à Vidin. Il périt assassiné vers 1196, et ses fils, Ivan et Alexandre sont contraints de se réfugier, chez les Coumans puis « en terre russe » sans doute dans la principauté Rus' de Kiev. Ivan Assen II devient ensuite tsar de 1218 à 1241.

With a track record of 30 years in comedy, Barry Hilton has raised the world's laughter level considerably.
His delightful knack of finding the ludicrous and the humorous turns daily situations on their head to make us laugh at life.
His face is as funny as his repartee, with lugubrious looks tailor-made for mirth. Barry's gregarious personality makes him a people's person, happy to engage with the audience before and after his shows.
Barry is a seasoned comedian who's as streetwise as any youngster. He's remained at the top by continually coming up with fresh material – and by having six children to keep him hip and happening.
His act is intelligent, observational, impeccably timed and never crude, sexist or racist. Just enormously funny.
That universal appeal, coupled with a rigorous training on the comedy circuit alongside the likes of John Cleese, Billy Connolly and Bob Monkhouse, give him a professionalism welcomed by any comedy club or corporation – punctual, polite, always topical, and always a strong performer.
Barry lives in Cape Town in South Africa, and has become a national icon in a country where a new generation of comics is beginning to find its voice. In 2013 the industry paid tribute to Barry with A Lifetime Achiever Award, presented at the Annual Comics' Choice Awards.
His popularity extends far further, however. In 2013 he became the first South African to perform at the prestigious Harrah's Improv at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, headlining four shows.

How Hostile Is Space?
Ben Dryer
Aug 7 2014, 19:31 UTC
Not ideal to make music videos. NASA, CC BY
Space may seem calm, but it is a more hostile environment than that on Earth. Invisible radiation is a big problem for space enthusiasts and scientific instruments. Substituting electronic devices to do human tasks reduces risk, but it doesn't eliminate all risk.
Every active device in space is dealing with such risks right now – be it Rosetta the comet chaser or the satellite responsible for streaming live sports. These cause many problem for designers of space instruments, on which millions of taxpayer's money is spent and which are out there to collect important information and provide vital services.
Beyond the risk of colliding with other objects in space, there are four main dangers for such electronic devices: the empty vacuum, extreme temperature variability, small meteorite impacts and radiation damage.
The temperature variation in space can be enormous. If an astronaut's back is facing the sun and the front is not, the temperature difference can be as much as 275°F. The vacuum force in space is large too, which can cause any unsealed instruments to break apart. But both sensitivity to vacuum and temperature change are relatively easy to deal with, and can also be monitored with simple sensors on board the device.
Small meteorite impacts are hard to predict but remain rare. What causes the most damage is the the constant flux of radiation in the form of high energy particles. These particles cause permanent damage to electronics, which causes them to become unreliable over time and eventually fail.
There are three main radiation sources in space. The first source consists of galactic particles, originating within the Milky Way, along with extra-galactic particles, originating beyond the Milky Way. These can be very high energy, for example the "Oh-My-God particle", which was a proton that had the energy equivalent to "a brick falling on your toe". The second source consists of solar particles, forming the solar wind, which are expelled by the sun and are lower energy but much more numerous. The third source consists of trapped particles, which form invisible belts around planets with a strong enough magnetic field, such as that of the Earth. These last two sources fluctuate with solar activity, which follows an 11-year cycle.
The effects of the most energetic particles are classified as "single event effects" (SEEs). These involve particles which are capable of causing the dreaded "blue screen of death".
Akhristov, CC BY
The damages can alter values stored in the memory and processors of digital devices, which can make them stop functioning at the most basic level. One way to deal with such damage is to use many memory cells to hold the same value, and compare values constantly to ensure that information only changes when an update is made to all memory cells at the same time.
The gradual accumulation of damage from high-energy particles on Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) (also found in digital cameras) are of more serious concern to scientists. The accuracy of the measurements needed to perform science is so great that any slight damage to these cameras can alter the data received from them.
You can see effects of this damage in a lot of the videos by astronaut Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station. In full screen and streaming at highest quality, you will find white spots in the darker areas of the picture. These are caused by radiation damage to the sensor, which allows signal to be created by the temperature of the device, rather than the meaningful light particles which form the image.
Although shielding the components can give some effective prevention of radiation damaging the electronics, camera sensors always need an open path in order to take images. Shielding can also create secondary radiation when a damaging particle hits the shield, setting another particle loose.
Sometimes the entire spacecraft design can cause unexpected radiation effects. For example the Chandra X-Ray Observatory launched in 2002 had a design that allowed protons and ions to be focused onto the CCD sensors through grazing from the telescope mirrors. Worse still, these protons were of the precise energy needed to stop inside the charge carrying region of the device, depositing the majority of their energy there, and increasing the damage during transit through the Earth's radiation belts.

Although we can heat the sensors in orbit to heal the damage, it is never completely repaired. New methods to deal with the damage are finally coming up with workable solutions. One involves a new type of sensor that captures images using the holes left behind by electrons to capture the image, instead of the electrons themselves. Another involves better processing of the images to counter the damage caused by radiation.
Understanding such damage is becoming more important as scientists need even more sensitive cameras to go in space. For example European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid mission is trying to measure the presence of dark matter by detecting the slight change in the shape of galaxies.
Thanks to Albert Einstein's work, we know that light passing by heavy objects is bent ever so slightly. Dark matter is proposed to make up nearly quarter of all mass in the universe, so to find its presence, the Euclid mission will measure the bending caused by such matter to the light received from galaxies. The bending is so small that if radiation damage is not understood and dealt with, the damage could mask the effects Euclid is looking for.
Just like the Euclid mission, JUICE, another ESA mission due to launch 15 years from now, will spend seven years travelling to Jupiter, resulting in already heavily damaged sensors before science is even able to start. What makes matters worse is that Jupiter has trapped radiation belts of high energy electrons, creating an extremely harsh environment to perform science in. As we continue to develop deeper understanding of effects in sensors, we can extend the useful lifetime of space missions and perform more accurate science.

20 May 11 A new film about a World War Two mission by Royal Marines from 30 Commando to capture Nazi secrets is released in UK cinemas today as 30 Commando embark on their first operational tour since then.
In 1943, 30 Commando, an offensive naval intelligence unit, ventured into Norway to capture vital Nazi technology that helped the Allies win the Second World War.
'Age of Heroes', the new movie based on this true story and starring Sean Bean and Danny Dyer, is released in UK cinemas today, Friday 20 May 2011.
VoA News: New films by two convicted Iranian directors, Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof, will be shown at this month's Cannes film festival in France.
Festival organizers said Saturday that Panahi's In Film Nist will be screened on May 20.
Rasoulof's Be Omid-e Didar will be shown on May 14.
An Iranian court in December sentenced both filmmakers to six years in prison on charges that included making propaganda against Iran's Islamic regime. Both were banned from making movies for 20 years. They are free on bail pending an appeal, but forbidden to travel abroad.
Cannes officials did not say how they received the films, only that they had arrived in recent days. They described the films as having been made in "semi-clandestine conditions." The festival on the French Riviera runs May 11-22.
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. — Aaron Eckhart, star of "Battle: Los Angeles" paid a visit to the Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 166 March 4 at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
Eckhart, a USO supporter who has visited Kandahar and Kuwait, signed autographs and posed for pictures while touring the hangar and learning about Marine aviation.
The actor may have just wrapped a major Hollywood action flick, but Eckhart made hardly a mention of the film or his work while he peppered the Marines with questions about their jobs, service overseas and how aircraft like the MV-22 "Osprey" work.
The Marines of VMM-166 reflected Eckhart's excitement.
8 March 2011 VOA News Deborah Block Popular social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, were instrumental in organizing the non-violent protests that led to the resignation last month of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Some people in Egypt and other parts of the world have also been using other media for ideas on how to remove a dictator. This includes watching TV documentaries on civil disobedience created by a private video company in Washington. The company has also produced video games on ways to use non-violent tactics to enact change.
Mike O'Sullivan | Los Angeles VOA News The documentary Restrepo shows the reality of war through the experience of one American platoon in Afghanistan. Our correspondent spoke with producers Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington about the film and the soldiers it depicts.
Violence was a daily part of life for this 15-man platoon on their deployment in the Korengal Valley of eastern Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008.
09 November 2010 Mohamed Elshinnawi | Washington, DC VOA News Violent clashes between Palestinians and Israelis receive media attention worldwide, but peace builders and nonviolent movements on both sides are frequently invisible.
That's why Ronit Avni, a Jewish American, founded Just Vision in 2003. The non-profit group based in Washington D.C., showcases these efforts through its award-winning films.
"We use media essentially by creating films and multi-media resources highlighting the stories that you do not ordinarily hear about: courageous individuals on both sides of the conflict who are working without arms to end occupation and to work towards peace."
04 November 2010 Julie Taboh | Washington, DC VOA News Filmmakers are invited to submit films for the first ever Muslim Women's Film Festival.
Photo: Philip UrechFilmmaker Vandana Sood believes the mainstream media tends to typecast Muslim women. 'Ideally, this film festival will break some of those stereotypes,' she says.
An online competition is now open for what's being called the first-ever international showcase of short films about Islam and women.
The films focus on women of all faiths and backgrounds who are living in Muslim-majority countries, as well as Muslim women living as minorities around the world.
Ira Mellman | Washington VoA News: Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul was the scene Thursday of something that hasn't happened there in quite some time.
Just a few months ago the busy street outside of Kabul's Ariana Cinema was the scene of a pitched battle when suicide bombers blew themselves up in a coordinated attack on the center of the Afghani capital.
This review is 1111 characters long. I contemplated making it 1111 question marks. Christopher Nolan's "Inception" posed several philosophical questions about reality, belief and perception. And, since I was left with 1111 questions after watching the movie, I thought that would be an appropriate response. I'll try to offer a little more substance though.
Don't get me wrong, the movie isn't bad, and it's not impossible to follow either. But if you're not looking for a Matrix-style theoretical journey, this film is not for you.
The movie begins with Cobb (Leodnado DiCaprio, "Body of Lies") slipping in and out of consciousness on a beach with water washing over him. A man with a gun finds Cobb and the gun hidden on his waist. He is taken to an old man who tells him he has only the gun and a brass top with him, but that he has seen the top before.
Greater love hath no man than this – that he lay down his life for his friends.
I was fortunate to see a preview of "Restrepo" last weekend in Chicago, on the crest of the documentary's rolling-thunder nationwide release. It's an intense window on the Afghan War – expertly developed by two fearless, skilled storytellers – Sebastian Junger (New York Times best-selling author & journalist) and Tim Hetherington (prize-winning Vanity Fair photographer).
The film focuses on a single platoon of 15 Soldiers (Battle Company 2/503) during their 15-month tour at a remote observation post in Afghanistan's notorious Korengal Valley. Junger and Hetherington embedded on three rotations from 2007-2008 – capturing up-close and personal the harsh, relentless realities of combat life on what was arguably one of the most dangerous assignments in the world.
Islamic law has been raising questions in Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation where some provinces are adopting regulations based on Sharia, or Islamic, principles. Human rights groups, however, warn that the laws often are enforced unfairly, particularly for women. Filmmakers in Indonesia have recently released documentaries to show the effects Islamic law has on women.
The film opens with shots of a market, where mannequins in tight-fitting T-shirts contrast with girls in long skirts and headscarves. The sight is common in Aceh Province, which gained the right to implement Sharia law as a part of a peace accord with the Indonesian government.
To show the role Sharia plays in the life of Muslim women, organizers of a recent female film festival in Jakarta highlighted five documentaries on the subject.
10 Nov 2009: Rarely do I visit the cinema, but I was afforded an advanced screening to this one and frankly this is a great movie that can renew faith in the potential for humans to do the right thing for the right reason. Some will say it's a movie of black and white. It is a movie of contrasts, but black and white takes a back seat to right and wrong.
I recall the NFL draft of Michael Oher last spring and I stated then, "there's an interesting story there," Evidently so too did Hollywood producers. But I entered the the theater not realizing this was his true story.
As reviewed from a civilian military supporters' point of view.
I liked the plot, and I found it interesting how they followed people from very different walks of life as they came together on the transport ship on the way to war. We started in the present day time frame, then went back to 1943-1945. They did a good job of melding the present with the past, it wasn't disjointed.
From a chance meeting in town, to a missed Sadie Hawkins dance, love began but the war pulled them apart. We watch as both SSG Don Smith and the girl he fell for begin to write letters to each other.

03.11.2010 BAGHDAD, Iraq - The "Green Zone" movie is out in theaters. The movie is inspired by the book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City" by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the Washington Post's bureau chief in Baghdad during and leading up to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The book is popular with many of our officers in Baghdad. It's great historic background on our area of operations set during Operation Iraqi Freedom's start.
However, according to several Internet sources, "Green Zone," the film version of the story, is a fictionalized drama on the occupation and governance of the heart of Baghdad by the Coalition Provisional Authority. The plot deals heavily with the U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction.
I reviewed Severe Clear tonight, and don't know whether I'd make a good reviewer or not, but I have mixed emotions, which I will share with whomever cares to. I'm a U.S. Marine and have been in the Corps for a short 22+ years.
I'm enlisted and have served in the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Beginning up to the assault- (Excellent depiction of the life of a Marine. Cusses like a sailor?

10/30/2009 - SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- It's often said that when someone joins the military, they aren't the only ones serving. Husbands and wives offer support, but recently another group gained recognition when an organization produced a film telling the story of military children.
Operation Military BRAT presented the movie "BRATS: Our Journey Home" Oct. 19 at Hirschi High School in Wichita Falls, Texas. It is the first film to document growing up in the military. The free screening of the film is part of a 50-city national outreach tour.
"'BRATS: Our Journey Home' is the first nonfiction film about this little-known American subculture," said Timothy Wurtz, co-producer of the film. "It is based on seven years of research that is now the largest qualitative database on the long-term effects of growing up in the military."
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez received a movie star welcome in Venice on Monday as he arrived to attend the 66th Venice Film Festival. Mr. Chavez was accompanied by U.S. film director Oliver Stone for the premiere of his documentary titled South of the Border.
Hundreds of fans clapped and chanted as Hugo Chavez walked the red carpet at the film festival. Some fans held up a banner that read "Bienvenido Presidente".
Security was tight and a large group of bodyguards escorted the Venezuelan President, who said, "I have Italy in my heart."
Alongside Mr. Chavez was American filmmaker Oliver Stone. The Venezuelan president called the director "a great worker, a great teller of true stories."
Addressing the media, Stone called the Venezuelan president "a big phenomenon" and said his 75-minute documentary shows very clearly the level of "stupidity" in the broad statements that are made about Mr. Chavez. Stone said his film is meant to show the changes that are taking place in South America.
For his movie, Stone also interviewed the leaders of Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Cuba and Paraguay, whom he said "are on the same page" as Mr. Chavez.
Stone's documentary South of the Border is showing out of competition at the Venice Film Festival. Twenty-four films from 32 countries are competing for the Golden Lion Award, which will be announced on Saturday - the final day of the film festival.
08.11.2009 WASHINGTON - One of the soldiers in the opening scene of "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra," wasn't able to see the film's debut last week.
Army Chief Warrant Officer John "Buzz" Covington was with the 21st Cavalry Brigade when he helped to film an Apache attack helicopter scene at Fort Hood, Texas. But he's now in Iraq with the 4227th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, and is scheduled to be there until May.
"I unfortunately won't be able to see the movie for some time," Covington said, but added that his wife, Army Maj. Darcy Saint-Amant, was excited about going to the film's Aug. 7 opening.
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, July 6, 2009) -- Fast-paced, heart-stopping, explosive action fill the new movie "The Hurt Locker," even though Soldiers say many of the scenes are inaccurate.
6/23/2009 - LOS ANGELES (AFNS) -- "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hits theaters nationwide June 24 as the culmination of more than a year of Defense Department support, ranging from script and uniform notes to C-17 Globemaster III aerial maneuvers and jumps from the Army's Golden Knights parachute demonstration team.
WASHINGTON, March 13, 2009 – On location in the Middle of Nowhere, Iraq, filmmaker Jake Rademacher focuses his lens on a unit of young reconnaissance troops with whom he's embedded.
USS Iwo Jima, Arabian Gulf-Actor and Marine Corps icon Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermey speaks to Marines and sailors aboard the USS Iwo Jima in the Arabian Gulf, Dec. 8, 2008.
Ermey visited the USS Iwo Jima as a Moral, Welfare and Recreation event for deployed troops during the holiday season. The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Iwo Jima Strike Group are currently deployed to the 5th fleet area of operation.
"Bull--! I can't hear you; sound off like …" responds the former Marine Corps drill instructor, repeating lines he immortalized on the silver screen.
Repeating these lines to most people would scare and offend them. But nothing could motivate the Marines and sailors of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit more.
R. Lee Ermey, most famous for his role as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in the movie Full Metal Jacket, paid a visit to the Marines and sailors aboard the USS Iwo Jima, Dec. 8, 2008. On his entrance to the Iwo Jima hanger bay, where hundreds of Marines and sailors awaited his arrival, Ermey greeted them with this rendition one of his most memorable on-screen moments. The Marines and sailors responded with resounding cheers.
Ermey's visit was part of a Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) event for deployed troops during the holiday season.
During his visit Ermey gave away thousands of tee shirts, dozens of hats, took hundreds of photos with Marines and sailors, handed out mail, and toured the ship - greeting every Marine or sailor he saw along the way.
He also presented flags to ten Marines who helped reinforce levees during the June flooding of Elnora, Ind. The flags, donated to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit by citizens from Elnora, represented the town's gratitude to all of the Marines and sailors who participated.
Ermey was grateful toward every Marine and sailor he saw throughout his visit.
However, the privilege was not all his. Having been at sea for nearly four months, some of the Marines and sailors aboard the Iwo Jima were glad to have something break up the monotony of everyday work.
Corporal Cory Beverick with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-264 (Rein) said he was happy to have someone come aboard who understood what he was going through.
"Gunny Ermey's a pretty well-known character throughout the Marine Corps," he said. "It just lets us know that everyone's still thinking about us, and we're on everyone's minds. It's always good to have someone like [him] come out and put a smile on your face and make you laugh, ease the transition."
Despite the obvious following Ermey has aboard the ship, he made sure the Marines and sailors knew this visit was not about him, rather it was for those who choose to serve.
The 26th MEU is currently forward deployed aboard the Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group in the Arabian Gulf in support of Maritime Security operations.
Full Metal Jacket star R. Lee Ermey congratulated 10 Marines today aboard USS Iwo Jima in the Arabian Gulf for helping save Elnora, Ind., from flooding June 8, 2008.
Ermey presented each Marine with a miniature American flag, gifts from Elnora resident Heather Davis, Indiana radio disc jockey Diane House and the American Legion. The group sent 150 flags as a gesture of thanks to the more than 140 Marines and sailors of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit based in Camp Lejeune, N.C., who participated at Elnora. Ten flags were forwarded to the ship and presented to Marines representing MEU units who helped in the town's rescue.
"We wanted to send a little token of our appreciation to those who came and helped save my hometown," said Davis in a letter to the Marines. "(We) wanted to send a little thank you to all who came and helped us out."
"This is just something Diane and I do to send to the members of our military to let them know we are thinking of them, and for them to have a little piece of home, no matter where they are," she said.
Ermey was aboard for a morale-boosting troop visit through the Middle East. When presented with the opportunity to recognize the hard work of the Marines, the Marine Corps icon, most famous for his role as hard-nosed Drill Instructor Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, leapt at the opportunity.
The 26th MEU went to Camp Atterbury, Ind., in June to conduct Realistic Urban Training. Plans quickly adjusted when torrential rains flooded much of Central and Western Indiana. MEU leaders provided assistance to state and local officials when it became clear many residents were in danger. Elnora and state leaders took advantage of the Marines' dedication and sheer muscle, requesting aid to shore up a nearby levee expected to break.
Flying in by CH-46E Sea Knight and CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters more than 90 miles from the training site, MEU Marines worked furiously through the night and following day filling sandbags and reinforcing a mile of levee protecting Elnora. They were joined by soldiers from the Indiana National Guard, Amish and Mennonite farmers, local residents and even a contingent of prisoners from a nearby jail in an incredible demonstration of teamwork in the face of impending disaster.
Later that evening, the rescue effort was called off and the workers and residents evacuated when experts determined the rising waters would overcome the levee and wash both town and people away. To the surprise and excitement of all, the levee held.
"It was important to show that no matter where we're at, we're going to help," said Cpl. Trevor J. Blackburn, who received a flag from Elnora via Ermey. "No matter if it's in our own country or outside the country, you know that's what we do. Our foremost job is to help out the people who care for us."
"We'd be glad to do it again if you called upon us and you needed our help, we'd be there," Blackburn continued. "Knowing that they were so grateful for what we did – and it seems like we didn't do much, but in all actuality we probably saved the town – but it didn't mean that to us, it just meant we got to get out there and help somebody."
The remaining 140 flags are with the MEU's family readiness officer at Camp Lejeune and will be given to the other Elnora Marines when the MEU returns from its current deployment early in 2009. The 10 Marines receiving flags today were hand-picked by MEU leaders to represent their units. Four Marines represented Battalion Landing Team 2/6, three represented Combat Logistics Battalion-26, two represented the helicopter air crews of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-264 (Rein) and one Marine stood for the Command Element. All the Marines given flags today directly contributed to the Elnora effort.
"That entire day was an emotional roller coaster for all of us," said Lt. Col. John Giltz of the mission to Elnora. Giltz commands CLB-26 and was officer in charge of the Elnora mission. "It was so inspiring to see Marines, sailors, Indiana National Guardsmen, townspeople, the Amish community and yes, even the prisoners, working side by side to save the town. Leaving town during the evacuation, without an expectation that it would survive, was a cruel blow to our morale. We had formed a bond with the townspeople, and felt that even with our collective effort, we had ultimately failed. Then, the next day when word reached us that the town had survived, a cheer went up throughout the unit--high fives, smiles and lot's of celebrating. So, while we received many accolades for our efforts, the town was saved because the people of Elnora simply refused to lose their town. We simply were inspired by their motivation."

On Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 9th Grade students from Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School (MELS) left Forest Hills, NY, bound for Bear Mountain and its rugged scenery. Students were nervous but excited. As the buses pulled up to the Bear Mountain parking lot, students disembarked with their crew advisors and their fellow classmates. As the students and crew leaders spread around the field, they began preparing for their ascent by circling up, warming up, and participating in initiatives.
Group were sent up two different routes to provide a more intimate experience in nature; each crew contained approximately fifteen students and one teacher. While hiking up, students showed their ability to support each other; some students took extra weight from their peers, while others offered emotional support. Along the way, crew advisors led initiatives and pointed out the wonders of nature while enjoying the beautiful views of the Hudson Highlands.
Once at the top, students ate lunch and gathered together for an all-grade picture. Students shared their excitement at having made it to the top and the stories of their experiences that led them there! After, crews began to hike back down, taking the opposite route as they did on the way up. When at the bottom, the students either continued running around using the last bit of energy they had or crashed to the ground in exhaustion before heading to the buses, where they quickly fell asleep.
All in all, every student made it to the top. While some students expressed a desire to turn back, the support provided by their peers and crew advisors enabled them to push through and challenge themselves to succeed. For many students, this was their first time hiking, but based on their enthusiastic reactions, it certainly won't be their last!
