Home » Perspectives Papers » Israel and Azerbaijan: Geopolitical Reasons for Stronger Ties
By	Dr. Anna Geifman and Dima Course	July 15, 2013
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Israel and Azerbaijan have developed strong strategic ties. Israel benefits from having a Muslim ally on Iran's border and Azerbaijan has gained a serious partner in the political, military, and technology spheres. Even so, the countries have much to gain from strengthening their ties even further.
The South Caucasus region is of strategic value for Israel due to its geopolitical position and proximity to Iran. Azerbaijan, a key player in the region, is a Shiite Muslim country which maintains close working relations with the Jewish state. Strained relations between Azerbaijan and Iran are an equally critical factor. Aside from the fact that Israel is dealing with a classic situation of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," it benefits from selling the Azeris technical services, technologies, and security systems. Moreover, Israel has always been on the lookout for a moderate Muslim partner, a role previously filled by Turkey. Azerbaijan can fit that role. It is hardly accidental that President Shimon Peres, accompanied by three ministers and representatives of sixty Israeli industrial companies, visited Baku in 2009. Then Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman made a trip to Azerbaijan in April 2012. His counterpart, Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, paid a return visit to Israel in April 2013. Presently, the bilateral relationship is good, and there are prospects for even stronger ties between the two countries.
Threats from Iran
Turmoil in the Middle East affects the Caspian Sea region and simultaneously provides opportunities for Israel, whose mutual interest with Azerbaijan is to confront an increasingly radical Islam. Though nominally Muslim, Azerbaijan's secular regime perceives both Sunni and Shiite fundamentalists as an alarming threat. The Sunni radicals connected to al-Qaeda are willing to cooperate with neighboring Dagestan's terrorist underground, which is periodically activated in the northern parts of Azerbaijan. An even greater reason for concern is the Shiite radicals; they are a tool for Iran's Revolutionary Guards and seek radical changes in Azerbaijan to turn it into a pro-Iranian regime. Any contact with Israel therefore cause anxiety in Tehran; for example, the 2009 Peres visit to Baku led to complications between Baku and Teheran and the recalling of the Iranian ambassador "for consultations."
There is also strong evidence to believe that Iran is intent on undermining domestic stability in Azerbaijan. In October 2011, the leader of pro-Iranian Islamic Party of Azerbaijan Movsum Samadov and several of his comrades were sentenced to 10-12 years in jail for attempting to overthrow the government by terrorist means. In February 2012, dozens of militants were arrested in a rural area near Baku. Iran also persistently threatens its northern neighbor; shortly after Samadov's arrest, Iranian Chief-of-Staff Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi promised Azeri President Ilham Aliyev "a grim future."
It is therefore not surprising that, according to foreign sources, Azerbaijan is a strategic bridgehead of Western and Israeli anti-Iranian military and intelligence efforts. Tehran is nervous about persistent, if officially denied, rumors about Israeli military presence in Azerbaijan as a forward base against Iran. Regardless of the validity of these rumors, Israeli authorities appreciate the importance of cooperation with Azerbaijan, which seeks to hold its own under the Iranian threat. In early 2012 this collaboration yielded valuable results: the prevention of terrorist attacks against Israeli diplomats in Baku.
Threats from Russia
Aside from Iran, Russia is a reason that Baku and Jerusalem should strengthen their strategic partnership. Israel is upset about Russia's subversive presence in the Middle East, namely its interactions with Iran, acceptance of Hamas, and persistent backing of the Syrian regime. Azerbaijan is also unhappy with Moscow's support for Armenia's position in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Yet, Israel may be swayed into better relations with Russia due to potential benefits from collaborative ventures in the technological sphere, as well as joint fear of radical Islam; contrary to what may look like a partnership, Russia's relations with Iran are quite strained.
In 2011, the "Center-2011" maneuvers took place in the Caspian Sea, the largest such exercise since 2002. Some one thousand Russian servicemen and dozens of vessels and boats participated. Despite attempts on the part of some commentators to explain the maneuvers as necessitated by NATO's presence in Afghanistan and Turkey, it appears that the "alleged enemy" was none other than Iran, or possibly local proxies. A similar exercise in the Caspian Sea took place this April. Iran could react aggressively towards Azerbaijan in the event of a Western attack on its nuclear program. For its part, Baku is aware that Moscow is supportive of its secular regime and is friendly towards the Azeri position with regards to the Caspian Sea division.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Issue
There is also the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is a connecting point between Azerbaijan and Israel. For Azerbaijan, Armenia is a bitter enemy with whom there are no serious chances for reconciliation in the foreseeable future, especially after the Armenian defeat of the Azeri military in 1994. As far as Israeli is concerned Armenia is one of Iran's closest partners; it is also probably a "loophole" for Iran's acquisition of prohibited weapons and technologies from several former Soviet republics.
Among the hurdles for Israeli-Azeri relations may be the "Turkish issue." In the past all appeared simple, as Turkey was Azerbaijan's closest ally and Israel's strategic partner. In the last few years, however, the situation has become significantly complicated by Turkish Islamization. Israel is presently interested in Azerbaijan's independence from any Turkish influence.
Israel and Azerbaijan stand to benefit greatly from even stronger ties. From the Israeli point of view there is serious potential for expanding economic ties, if only because Baku sells oil to Israel and is already a client of the Israeli hi-tech and military industries. Israel's drone planes are presently as much in demand in Azerbaijan as they are elsewhere. Israel also sells its Azeri partner armored troop carriers, multiple rocket launchers, Tavor rifles, and ammunition. However, since neither country has enough friends beyond its borders, it should be clear that each partner may contribute to much-required foreign lobbying for the sake of the other. Azerbaijan could be a positive influence in Turkey, while Israel might prove equally helpful in lobbying for the Azeris in the EU and the US. Though further cooperation between Jerusalem and Baku will depend on geopolitical developments, Israel would do well to capitalize on the opportunity.

Hey forum, I saw some hubs from a salvage yard on a 95 T100. If I used the manual hub parts off my 85 4runner, could the hub bodies off the T100 swap over? I'm guessing the calipers will swap over, but correct me if I'm wrong.


Springtime, when everyone is in tune with feelings of renewal, Folklore Festivals take place all over Latin America, including Puerto Vallarta. This year our festival (Festival Vallarta Azteca del Folclor Internacional) occupies our time from April 29 – May 7. It is customary for Puerto Vallarta to host different countries to entertain at various locations, and we anticipate participating each evening, following our daily stroll on the Malecón with Pup. This year our guest entertainers will hail from Colombia, Peru, Chile and Bolivia. We can give thanks to the organizers of this annual event Grupo Folklorico Vallarta Azteca, which is endorsed by the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF), a partner organization of UNESCO.
Puerto Vallarta will be host to dancers, musicians and crafts-people from Chihuahua, Colima, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaco, Sinaloa, Coahuila, Michoacan, D.F. (District Federal), Baja, Aguascalientes and other parts of Jalisco. Performances begin in the evenings at 7 pm on the above dates; the main venues are Parque Hidalgo, Los Arcos (The Arches) on the Malecón and at Agustin Flores Contreras Municipal Sports Stadium.

Creators of copyright have a special right known as "moral rights", in addition to the rights covered earlier in this topic. Moral rights ensure that:
a creator is credited for their work at all times even if it is sold or assigned;
a creator may take action if their work is falsely attributed (i.e. credited to someone else, or their name is credited incorrectly); and
a work is not treated in a manner that is prejudicial to a creator's honour or reputation.
Moral rights can only be owned by individuals (not corporations). A creator will hold their moral rights for the entire duration of copyright; moral rights cannot be transferred to anyone else.
The concepts of moral rights and performers rights are still relatively new in Australia, with the first mention of moral rights being introduced by the Copyright Amendment (Moral Rights) Act 2000 (Cth) and additional performers rights being implemented as a result of the US Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act 2004 (Cth). These moral rights protect authors, creators and directors - they protect individuals not the copyright owners. These rights operate parallel to the copyright regime and act as inalienable rights.
The philosophy underpinning moral rights is that creators deserve respect integral to the act of creativity which remains even after copyrights has been assigned.
Video overview by Nicolas Suzor on Moral Rights.
Moral rights were introduced by the Copyright Amendment (Moral Rights) Act 2000 (Cth) which provides that creators are protected from three sources of harm:1)
a right of attribution of authorship;
rights against false attribution of authorship; and
a right of integrity.
As noted above, the moral rights were extended in 2004 to include performers.
The right of attribution requires that an author must be identified where attributable acts are done in respect of the work 2). The right of attribution is also applied to performers. 3)
Creators of copyright material have the right to be attributed when the work is:
for literary, dramatic, or musical works: reproduced, published, performed, communicated, or adapted.
for artistic works: reproduced, published, exhibited, communicated;
for films: copied, exhibited, communicated.
For performances: communicated, staged, or copied.
If a creator has not stated the way in which he or she wishes to be identified, any clear and reasonably prominent form of identification may be used. 4)
Attribution must be clear and reasonably prominent. 5)
It is not necessary to attribute the creator if:
the creator has consented in writing not to be identified; or
it is reasonable in all the circumstances not to identify the author. 6)
Authors of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and films and performers have the right not to have the authorship of their works falsely attributed. 7)
False attribution means:
crediting the wrong person as the creator or performer; or
crediting the creator of a work that has been altered without acknowledging the alterations.
It is also an infringement of this right to knowingly deal with or communicate a falsely attributed work.
NOTE: the reasonableness test is unavailable as a defence.
The right of integrity is the right not to have your work subjected to derogatory treatment. 8)
Derogatory treatment means doing anything that results in a material distortion of, the mutilation of, or a material alteration to, the work that is prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation. It also includes doing anything else in relation to the work that is prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation. In the case of artistic works, exhibiting in a way or place that is prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation.
It is not clear to what extent the test for whether a derogatory treatment is prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation takes into account the author's subjective view, as opposed to an objective test. To date, there have been no cases in Australia to clarify what this might mean.
It is not an infringement if the derogatory treatment or other action was reasonable. 9)
There are special exceptions to infringement of the right of integrity in relation to artistic works (including buildings and architectural drawings).
It is not an infringement of moral rights to destroy a moveable artistic work, if the creator, or the creator's representative, is given a reasonable opportunity to remove the work. Further it is not an infringement to change, relocate, demolish or destroy a building of which an artistic work forms part, or to which it is affixed, provided certain conditions (including the giving of notice and provision of access for the purpose of making a record and consultation) are met.
It is not an infringement of moral rights to change, relocate, demolish or destroy a building, provided certain conditions (including the giving of notice and provision of access for the purpose of making a record and consultation) are met; or to remove or relocate site-specific artworks, provided certain conditions (including the giving of notice and provision of access for the purpose of making a record and consultation) are met.
It is not an infringement of moral rights to do anything in good faith to restore or preserve a work.
A failure to properly attribute the creator, or a derogatory treatment of copyright work, does not infringe the creator's rights if the action was reasonable in the circumstances.
The Act sets out a number of factors to be taken into account in working out whether the action was reasonable. These include:
the nature of the work;
the purpose, manner and context for which it is used;
relevant industry practice;
whether the work was created in the course of employment or under a contract of service; and
if there are two or more authors, their views about the failure to attribute or derogatory treatment.
Video overview by Madeline Menzies-Miha onMoral Rights and Reasonableness
Video overview by Courtney Steffens onMoral Rights and Reasonableness
Moral rights can be waived. This is not explicitly stated in the Act but the term consent is used on several occasions.
Moral rights cannot be assigned. Even after the economic components of copyright have been assigned, the creators still retains the moral rights.
As the moral rights are relatively new, no significant body of case law has been developed in Australia.
Moral rights are loosely derived from the French system of droit moral. The French authorities are not directly relevant, but may serve as an illustration of the types of treatments which may be found to be derogatory in Australia.
Perez & Ors v Fernandez 10)
The case of Perez & Ors v Fernandez involved Perez 'Pitbull', the US-based author of the song "Bon, Bon". Fernandez, a Perth-based DJ, had planned to host Perez on-tour in Australia, and Perez had recorded a promo referring to and supporting Fernandez 'DJ Suave'. After the tour was cancelled, Fernandez deleted a 'prominent part' of the recording, and substituted the previously made recording in a way that "made it appear that Mr Fernandez was a subject of the song".
The Federal Magistrates Court held that the new recording infringed Perez's right of integrity on the basis that:
It was a material alteration or distortion; and
It was prejudicial to Perez's honour and reputation because
It created a false association that Perez had endorsed or deliberately associated himself with Fernandez; and
It caused Perez "anger and distress" (a subjective factor) and the false association was likely to be concerning for similar artists, who go to great lengths to control the people they are associated with (an objective factor).
It was also likely to be prejudicial to an audience who were more familiar with Perez's work, because it mocked Perez and sought to promote Fernandez at Perez's expense.
Fernandez's use was not reasonable in the circumstances.
Schott Musik International GmbH v Colossal Records of Australia 11)
The case of Schott Musik International Gmbh v Colossal Records Australia involved a a techno remix of a classical musical work and questioned whether this remix 'debased' the original. Before the introduction of moral rights, Section 55(2) previously prevented a recording artist from obtaining a statutory licence to record a musical work if the adaptation 'debases' the original work.
The Federal Court held that a wide approach should be taken, taking into account the broad spectrum of community tastes and values. At first instance, Tamberlin J considered that "[t]he term 'debase' calls for a value judgment based on a significant lowering in integrity, value, esteem or quality of the work."
Justice Tamberlin considered the evidence, and concluded that the techno remixes did not debase the original, taking into account the lack of reduction in value of the original, the lack of "any widespread perception of reduction in quality, rank or dignity" of the original, the fact that sales and interest in the original may have increased due to the remix, and the fact that the remix "preserves substantial and essential elements of the original intact, communicates a powerful exuberance and rhythmic character quite consistent with the character of the work".
On appeal, the Full Federal Court used a number of tests: Justice Wilcox stated that, "the adaptation must be so lacking in integrity or quality that it can properly be said to have degraded the original work". Justice Lindgren noted that "another… way of formulating this question is to ask whether the allegedly infringing arrangement is an impermissible distortion, mutilation or other modification of the musical work. Of course the word 'impermissible' itself invokes questions of evaluation and degree".
The FCAFC held that "'debase' is a strong term which requires much more than an opinion, even an expert opinion, that the adaptation is musically inferior".
Buffet v Fersing (1962) D Jur 570 (Fr)
Bernard Buffet had painted six panels of a refrigerator, and signed only one panel. Fersing bought the refrigerator at a charity auction and resold the panels individually for a profit. Buffet was able to recover damages for infringement of his moral right of integrity because Fersing had mutilated his expression, which was intended to stand as a whole.
Huston v Societe de l'Exploitation de la Cinquieme Chaine (1991) 149 Revue Internationale du Droit d'Auteur 197 (Cour de cassation)
The estate of John Huston successfully sought an injunction against a French television broadcaster to prevent the broadcast of a colourised version of Huston's black and white film 'Asphalt Jungle'. - An earlier suit brought in the US failed. - Material distortion of his work prejudicial to honour or reputation.
Snow v The Eaton Centre Limited 12)
A Canadian shopping centre had bought a sculpture of 60 flying geese from the plaintiff. When the shopping centre tied Christmas ribbons around the necks of the geese, Snow applied for an injunction. The Ontario High Court ordered that the ribbons be removed, holding that the treatment of the sculpture was prejudicial to Snow's honour or reputation. Snow said it was prejudicial to his honour – reducing it to crass advertisement of Christmas.
Morrison Leahy Music Limited and another v Lightbond Limited 13)
In 1993, George Michael was granted a preliminary injunction preventing the release of a medley of a number of George Michael's songs. The Court of Appeal in London found that it was arguable that the remix record could constitute derogatory treatment of George Michael's works.
Confetti Records v Warner Music 14)
In 2003, the UK High Court found that there was no infringement of moral rights when rap lyrics were recorded over the top of a remix of an original song, at least without any expert evidence as to what the lyrics actually meant.
There are three main remedies available for breach of moral rights. These include:
An injunction to prevent people from harming a person's work or to ensure proper attribution for use;
Damages; and
An apology and rectification.

My bride and I decided to step upon a path with irreparable conclusions as this slippery slope of truth was applied to our personal relationship. What if, just for 24 hours, we both applied that definition of truth? Could it even be done? And what would the consequences become? We had a solid foundation upon which to build, solid enough that I felt secure in accepting this daunting challenge of telling the truth, and nothing but the truth, for 24 hours.
My bride and I are ethicists. Our upbringing in formative years and our professions hold us tightly to the matter of ethics. It's an extremely boring subject, especially if one sits in an auditorium for a one-hour presentation and resultant CEUs.
Moreover, the entire subject is boring. Everyone has ethics or at least considers themselves to be ethical. Everybody knows that ethics is the cornerstone of a successful practice. Before the marketing, before the product, before anything must first come ethics.
But this learned consideration of possessing ethical standards becomes somewhat abbreviated when the matter turns to situational ethics. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where esoteric scenarios give way to the very hard decisions in our personal and professional conduct.
And so it came to pass on a recent weekend evening that my bride and I fell once again to discussing ethics. Now you might well suppose that our weekend nights are not exactly riveting, what with the discussion being ethics for a couple of hours. And then repeated on following weekends. Throughout our time together, however, ethics is the glue that has bound us tightly together.
But on this particular evening we fell to situational ethics. This is where the angels become separated from the devils. At the baseline approach and defense of situational ethics are the immortal words of my mother, "God invented white lies as an acceptable way to not hurt others' feelings." Well, there you have it. And from a mother. Can't go wrong there.
As our conversation regarding situational ethics progressed, the definition of truth had to be established. We fell upon, correctly or not, the definition of truth being "saying and doing what you're thinking and feeling." That seemed to fit. But it didn't necessarily work.
Now, the very definition of truth, upon which we both agreed as the basis of our ongoing conversation, became an issue in and of itself. That is a difficult row to hoe. Saying and doing what you're thinking and feeling 24 hours a day, as the ethos of your lifestyle, is a trying and laboring cross to bear. And in so implementing this very definition, people's feelings could get hurt.
Enter my sainted mother's white lie defense.
The next morning, with the 24-hour self-imposed deadline still ticking, we went about the day. Later that evening we stepped outside of our comfort zone in accepting an invitation to get together with some dear friends. Shrimp and lobster on the beaches of Florida at sunset is a difficult scenario to turn down. True, we could not on this particular occasion wear bathing suits and tank tops. No, this was more formal but nonetheless inviting.
And there my dear friends and colleagues, I had a decision to make.
As I take you inside my thought process, which lasted for no more than one second, I would ask that men need not reply to this post. For the most part, none of us men know what we're doing in our relationships with women, especially with the woman we love and cherish. That singular woman who gave to us, each of us as a man, the freedom and security to be ourselves and succeed. We are not gifted enough to manage that relationship or express ourselves in an understandable manner. Instead, we rely upon the perspicacity of the woman in our life to accept we are stumbling and plodding our way through life while thinking we are doing such a grand job as a husband, a lover, or a mate.
Tell the truth. "No, my love, the red dress does not make you look fat. Your fat makes you look fat." Saying and doing what you are thinking and feeling.
Not a lie; not the complete truth: "You look divine in that red dress my love; however, you know my favorite is that killer black dress (which makes you look slimmer, but those words are not spoken).
The white lie approach to resolution: "You look beautiful. Don't change a thing." After all is said and done, she's beautiful; who cares? Well, she cares or else she would not have asked, I guess. I still haven't figured that one out yet.
I write to you now from the anonymity and loneliness of the guest bedroom, my faithful dog at my side. This is not our first rodeo together in this room. I look to him for an answer. He glances at me with the corner of his eyes, then puts his head on his bed, lets out a slight moan, and goes to sleep. Upon reflection, and with a strong focus to the future, I now relegate that which I have carried with me most of my life. My sainted mother's advice that white lies are okay, God said so. And that white lies are to be used when another person's feelings might be hurt.
I do wish you all well and hope that your ethical ground upon which you walk is made of a solid foundation. It's the only thing we have to carry as a banner before we ever get on the scene of the sale, the meeting, all that stuff that does not carry the same weight as our personal relationships do. It is those personal relationships that need the refining. It is those relationships that mean the most to each of us.
By the way, guys, just tell your wife you love her. She'll understand what you're trying to say.

Review: Bruce Springsteen drops off 'Western Stars' in Vegas
By Greg Kot

The notion of "Springsteen on Broadway" sounded like an oxymoron when he was ripping up theaters in the '70s, before stadium-rock fame took hold. By the time he finally made his Broadway move in 2017-18, it seemed inevitable. Beneath the grit, the guitars and the brawling energy of his buckets-of-sweat concerts, there was always a sense of theater: the drama and romance of big songs performed by a cast of characters named "The Boss," "The Big Man," "Miami Steve," "The Professor" and "Mighty Max." On stage, they delivered a play within a rock show, with between-songs narration by the leading man.
Yet when Springsteen finally debuted solo at the Walter Kerr Theatre on 48th Street in Manhattan in October 2017, he underplayed it. His performances couldn't have been more sparse, just the singer and his guitar as he told stories and stripped down his songs to their barest essentials. Even the big anthems – "Born to Run," "The Promised Land," "The Rising" – felt intimate, like he was sharing a secret rather than shouting from the rooftops.
It turns out Springsteen was saving all the melodrama for "Western Stars" (Columbia), his first studio album since 2014. He croons. He swims in a sea of strings and horns. He sounds smooth. He shifts Broadway bombast a couple thousand miles west, to a Vegas lounge.
Springsteen says the album's touchstones were "Wichita Lineman"-era Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb and the Burt Bacharach-Hal David orchestral pop of "Walk on By," as filtered through the sublime Dionne Warwick. But that's not what he delivers. The album has more in common with the "Rhinestone Cowboy"-era Campbell, late-period Elvis Presley and mid-period "Longfellow Serenade" Neil Diamond.
Springsteen sets many of these songs out in the rural West, and his narrators are the same drifters the singer has been chronicling in his songs for several decades. What happened to that young construction worker in "The River" or the despairing auto mechanic in "Johnny 99"? They turn into the worn, weathered characters depicted in "Western Stars." Much like Springsteen, they've been around, they're in their late '60s, and there's a certain amount of poignancy in knowing that the singer likely sees at least a little bit of himself in each of these loners. These down-and-outers will be gone soon, the songs imply, and no one will notice.

At times, Springsteen's lyrics can be pretty pedestrian. We've heard these stories before, as the singer acknowledges in "The Wayfarer": "Same old cliché, a wanderer on his way, slippin' from town to town."
But in the album's strongest moments -- "Chasin' Wild Horses," "Moonlight Motel," the title track -- the specificity that Springsteen brings to his imagery leaves a bruise.
"Here in the canyons above Sunset, the desert doesn't give up the fight/A coyote with someone's Chihuahua in its teeth skitters 'cross my veranda in the night," sings the washed-up actor in "Western Stars." People buy him drinks to hear him tell stories about the time John Wayne shot him in a long-ago movie. The reckoning cuts sharp inside a small-combo setting defined by acoustic guitar and piano, only to be undercut by an invasion of strings and horns.
The large-scale orchestrations rarely complement the mood. Instead, they barge in, a river of syrup that drowns the sense of betrayal in "Stones," gushes through "The Wayfarer" and inspires some of Springsteen's most egregious Gene Pitney-style over-emoting in "Sundown" and the disastrously overdone "There Goes My Miracle."
A Vegas residency beckons.

Listen Up! #Audiobook Review: The Blacksmith Queen by: G. A. Aiken

Audiobook Review: The Blacksmith Queen
Author: G.A. Aiken
Narrators: Mia Barron & Jason Culp
Audio Speed: 1.5x
Series: Scarred Earth #1
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Audiobook Source: Recorded Books
In the beginning… the old king dies and his many sons fight for control of the kingdom. However, the witches send down a prophecy that a farmer's daughter will become queen. The conniving dowager queen convinces her son (the one most likely to take over the kingdom) to bring the farm girl into the family though marriage; therefore, fulfilling the prophecy.
Keeley Smythe, blacksmith, is the protector of her large family. She is caring and loyal but vicious and violent to any who threaten those she cares about, most of all her family. When it is learned that her younger sister, Beatrix, is going to be the queen, she sets out on a quest with a group of Amichai warriors (centaur shifters) to protect her from harm. However, things aren't as they appear, and soon, Keeley's world is twisted sideways and flipped on its end.
The Blacksmith Queen is written in typical G.A. Aiken fashion: huge, dysfunctional, obnoxious families, continuous chaos and name-calling, lots of gore and violence, and a keen sense of humor running through out the tale. Ms. Aiken shifts POVs on the fly and never slows down. Even though I've listened to her stories before, it still took me time to get into a rhythm and be able to follow the story.
Keeley's tale unfolds as a grand quest. She needs help from various factions and goes from place to place, trying to recruit an army. It was entertaining just to follow along and find out what trouble Keeley and her band would find. The group of warriors makes for such entertainment. There is one of her sisters, whom Keeley holds a deep grudge, an ex-professional fighting cousin, and a handful of the Amichai, including her love interest, Caid. (This isn't a romance, but there is a romantic element to Keeley's tale.) It's just pure entertaining listening to the adventure.
Narration: The Blacksmith Queen is shared from MANY different, constantly shifting POVs, and Ms. Barron uses the same female narrator regardless of the POV. She is bold and confident and fitting for the craziness that is G.A. Aiken's storytelling. The character POV shifts frequently and with little notice and the narrator does a good job of keeping up. At first it was a little confusing, but as I continued to listen, I could pick up on subtle changes that indicated the POV change. Ms. Barron alters each character's voice for the dialogue, making adjustments based on gender, age, species, etc. Each character has a unique and identifiable speaking voice, even though their narrator voice is the same as all characters. I enjoyed Ms. Barron's performance; she keeps the tempo and zaniness intact. There is a short male narrated prologue shared by male scribe of the old king. Not at all sure why that was a different narrator. It wasn't necessary.
I really enjoyed how The Blacksmith Queen ended and the promise of what the future holds. The story is "part 1" in Keely's tale, and while the story is hers, it's also the tale of the lands, with the shifting POVs and larger picture of what is happening to the kingdoms. The storytelling is fast and crazy, and all G.A. Aiken. It's a zany, fun, crude adventure, and I cannot wait for the next story!
My Ratings:
Story: B+
Narration: B+

The Old King Is Dead
With the demise of the Old King, there's a prophesy that a queen will ascend to the throne of the Black Hills. Bad news for the king's sons, who are prepared to defend their birthright against all comers. But for blacksmith Keeley Smythe, war is great for business. Until it looks like the chosen queen will be Beatrix, her younger sister. Now it's all Keeley can do to protect her family from the enraged royals.
Luckily, Keeley doesn't have to fight alone. Because thundering to her aid comes a clan of kilt-wearing mountain warriors called the Amichai. Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned …


'Pseudoscience' is a term used by people to deride and dismiss a claimed scientific finding or hypothesis on the basis that it is poor science. We must be very aware of the harm that is done in the use of words like "pseudoscience" that attack, denigrate and dismiss and reduce science to a game of control.
Should we strictly rely on outside sources for our diet, or can we listen to our inner nutritionist?


The first Kinney Cross Country Championships (KCCC) National Finals was held before a relatively small crowd of curious onlookers in Balboa Park. There was no uniformity for the runners; competitors wore their own uniforms. Regional races were scattered over the calendar: Houston and New York (October), Chicago (November) and San Francisco and Atlanta (December). Brent Steiner and Ellen Lyons were the inaugural Kinney Champions.

G-Reds Walk Off For First Time In 2019
By Frank La Sala
GREENEVILLE, TN - Carlos Reina hit a walk-off RBI-double to center field in the 11th inning to help the Greeneville Reds (20-31) even up the series against the Burlington Royals (31-21) at Pioneer Park Monday night. The win is the Reds first extra inning win at home this season.Danny Lantigua's
GREENEVILLE, TN - Carlos Reina hit a walk-off RBI-double to center field in the 11th inning to help the Greeneville Reds (20-31) even up the series against the Burlington Royals (31-21) at Pioneer Park Monday night. The win is the Reds first extra inning win at home this season.
Danny Lantigua's two-out, two-run triple in the second inning got the scoring started. Mikey Filia scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning, and Vinnie Pasquantino's sacrifice fly in the sixth for Burlington tied the game.
Tyler Callihan tripled with two outs in the ninth, but pinch hitter Ranser Amador grounded out to send the game to extras. In the tenth, the Reds got their bonus runner to third with less then two outs, but LHP Elliott Anderson (L, 2-1) induced a pair of ground outs to get out of the jam.
Burlington scored their bonus runner in the eleventh. Maikel Garcia moved to third on an infield single, and scored the go- ahead run on Pasquantino's sacrifice fly.
Mike Spooner started the bottom of the eleventh at second, and scored the tying run on Garrett Wolforth's RBI-single. Wol- forth moved to second on Tyler Callihan's infield single, and scored the winning run on Reina's walk-off double.
RHP Tyler Gibson (W, 1-2) allowed an unearned run and a hit in three relief innings for his first win, he also struck out four. LHP Jose Salvador did not factor in the decision, but matched a career-high 11 strikeouts in 4.2 innings. RHP Alberto Gon- zalez allowed two hits over 2.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
The Reds and Royals will play a rubber match on Taco Tuesday at Pioneer Park. First pitch between RHP Jake Gilbert (0-0, 2.37) and LHP Marlin Willis (1-0, 3.41) is scheduled for 6:30 PM. Fans who come to the ballpark can enjoy $2 tacos and $2 16 ounce Coronas.

The National Trust is offering people the chance to help conserve coastline, countryside, historic houses and gardens during their holidays this year.
The trust has launched its 2009 Working Holidays guide, which offers about 400 breaks across the country.
Holidaymakers can help in a variety of projects including cleaning the vintage carriages in the collection at Arlington Court in Devon, sorting and storing books, natural history specimens and textiles at Lanhydrock in Cornwall or giving the holiday centre on the Stackpole Estate in Pembrokeshire a makeover.
Alison Dalby, National Trust spokeswoman, said: "If you fancy a holiday with a difference, a life-enhancing experience where you can meet new friends, feel part of something worthwhile and get the most for your budget, then a National Trust working holiday is for you.
"Around 400 holidays across England, Wales and Northern Ireland offer the chance to help with the conservation of wildlife, coast, countryside, historic houses and gardens.
TravelMail's Tim Clark travelled to Northumberland to take part in a working holiday: find out how he got on here!
"For some it's the appeal of learning a new skill or indulging a passion, for others it's just a great way to have fun.
"There is plenty to tempt all age groups, with a wide range of activities from cataloguing of Minton tiles, or cleaning a beach, to tending a kitchen garden, or counting goats. From a weekend break to a two-week holiday, prices start at just £50.
"People from all walks of life have enjoyed working holidays, from doctors to bus drivers, advertising executives to chefs - many make lasting friendships or have met their future partners, and some have been inspired to change careers as a result."
There are 12 categories of holidays to choose from including archaeology, rural skills, construction and family.
This year sees the introduction of special interest themed holidays focusing on digital photography and seasonal food, alongside old favourites such as dry stone walling, hedge-laying and countryside maintenance.
Active holidays, where people can combine conservation with activities such as surfing, riding or sailing are also on offer.
Each holiday is run by a volunteer leader and assistant who work with National Trust staff. On average holidays have 10 participants but this can vary from five to 15 people. Accommodation for most of the Working Holidays is in basecamps, including farmhouses, stone cottages, converted barns, mills, granaries and stable yards.

What Should You Do if You Find Out Your Medication Was Recalled?
When your doctor writes you a prescription and you get it filled at your local pharmacy, you trust that the pills or liquid inside the bottle are safe and will help you feel better. In most cases, that's exactly the case. But sometimes, medications are not only ineffective, but they can also be dangerous.
Medications that are mislabeled, contaminated, or manufactured improperly may be recalled by their manufacturers or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There are different levels of recalls, and they vary depending on their severity and the risk that the products pose to people.
Class I recalls are the most serious and they involve products that could cause serious injury or death. Class II recalls are for products that may serious injury or temporary illness, while Class III recalls are for products that are unlikely to cause problems, but that violate FDA regulations.
The actions you take after finding out that your medication has been recalled depend on what your doctor says and the type of recall. For example, a Class III recall may not require any action on your part, and you may still be able to take the medication with no issues. But Class II and Class I recalls may require immediate action, including switching to a different medication.
Never stop taking a medication without speaking to your doctor first, even if it has been recalled. If you suspect that a recalled medication harmed you, you may need legal representation to help you get compensation. At Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough, we work hard on behalf of injured victims of defective medications.

An elevator pitch can be a powerful selling tool you can use in any situation. We ask an expert about the importance of having a great elevator pitch and share their tips for crafting a concise and compelling overview of your business.
The next person who asks you or your staff, "What do you do?" could be a potential customer or someone who can help take your business to the next level. Your reply could have a big impact on your future. So what will you say?
If you have a good elevator pitch up your sleeve, you'll always know the right thing to say, says Tom Brigstocke, Managing Director of Principals, a brand strategy, identity and language agency.
Like the name suggests, an elevator pitch shouldn't take longer to deliver than an average ride in a lift – no more than a minute or so. Yet it can be a very powerful selling tool you can use in any situation, from a meeting or networking event to a barbecue.
The best elevator pitch is an expression of your brand strategy, so most of the hard work will go into the thinking behind the pitch rather than the pitch itself. And this process should ideally involve a broad spectrum across the organisation.
Internal branding can help bring the brand to life for employees, inspiring them to engage with customers, suppliers and even their friends in a much more positive way. "Because it's short and concise, an elevator pitch can also help them to remember all that they need to know about the brand and to express it in a convincing way," says Brigstocke.
Short and engaging: even 60 seconds is long enough to tell a story.
Conversational: it's not a sales pitch.
Simple and direct: avoid using complicated language.
Fresh and relevant: it's not something you've been repeating for years.

Global Solar PV Capacity Close To (Or Over) 100 GW
by James Ayre April 12, 2013
written by James Ayre April 12, 2013
Total global solar photovoltaic capacity is fast approaching the 100 gigawatt (100,000 megawatt) milestone, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency. The report notes that even with some uncertainty present about the future state of photovoltaics in the European and Chinese markets, that global installed capacity will almost definitely hit the 100 gigawatt (GW) milestone within the year. In fact, it likely already has, probably sometime within the first quarter.
Furthermore, here's a fact that is not well known: more solar PV power capacity was installed in 2011 than power capacity from any other source. And the same was true in 2012.
Solar panels in the Alps.
The new report states that a total of 28.4 GW of new solar photovoltaic capacity were installed during 2012, which brings total global capacity up to 89.5 GW.
PV-Tech continues: "The report, Snapshot of Global PV by the International Energy Agency, looked at 23 countries. It said that another estimated 7 GW of capacity is in the pipeline which would increase the total to 96.5. GW from 2011's 28.9 GW. And the agency said that with installations worldwide difficult to quantify with precision, the 100GW milestone has already been passed in the first quarter of this year."
There is some disparity, though, between the new IEA report and other recent analyses, such as those from the market research firm IHS, and NPD Solarbuzz. IHS's newest report estimated global PV installations in 2012 at 31.4 GW, and NPD Solarbuzz estimated 29 GW.
Continuing on with the report's contents: Europe currently represents 59% of the global market, but rapid growth in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas is lessening that difference. The Middle East and Africa are both regions "in development," but with great potential. China was the second-largest PV market for new installations in 2012, beating out the US and Italy. And China is now the third-largest PV market in terms of total capacity.
Gaëtan Masson, Operating Agent for Task 1 IEA-PVPS, stated: "Europe will decrease, with little doubt. Mainly because of the unsustainable level the market reached in some countries. Subsidy cuts are indeed responsible for the inability of the market in Europe to maintain itself at the level it reached… but the transition period from the current market to that new, sustainable one, could push the market down during some years."
"NPD Solarbuzz reported that installations in China are expected to reach over 7GW in 2013, yet seasonality and policy incentive deadlines have already seen demand weaken in the first quarter that has had a negative knock-on effect on global PV demand in the quarter. The market research firm still expects China to account for more than 20% of global PV market demand this year."
Impressively, for the second straight year, photovoltaic solar PV was the leading source of new electricity capacity installed, beating out wind, gas, coal, and nuclear. Some other nice stats: Italy now receives at least 5.75% of its electricity from PV, Europe as a whole receives about 2.5% of its electricity from PV, and Australia has now passed the 1% mark.
These numbers are all expected to rise significantly in the coming years as PV becomes more economically viable (in particular, in the "global sunbelt" countries). The rate of adoption on the individual- and community-level scale is expected to continue rising steeply also, especially in rural areas where electricity is currently unavailable or unreliable.
Michael Franz, project manager for the EU Energy Initiative – Partnership Dialogue Facility, a European body set up to promote access to sustainable energy in emerging economies told PV-Tech: "In particular in the 'global sunbelt' countries, PV is pushing into micro- and macro-economic viability. Price decreases and new business models make it possible to bring electricity access to millions of new users, especially in remote areas of developing countries with dispersed population. The market curve for PV in rural electrification is still relatively flat, but it's steepening rapidly."

Passive adulteration would be a bit baffled (in my opinion), but it makes analytic sense. I apperceive the Wyvern crossbow has a acquiescent poison, so the aftereffect already exists. They'd just charge to copy-paste it over to Baneful stuff, or whatever it is they do. I'm all for it, lol. I adulation baffled stuff, but I accept a activity others will use 'overpowered' as a acumen to say no.
Regarding the accession suggestions... um.
Prices are bent by the playerbase, and Jagex abandoned accomplish in if there's austere abetment traveling on. Yield apparitional aspect as an archetype - it's big-ticket as all get-out, and Mod Timbo said he'd accumulate an eye on it. However, his endure animadversion on it was to say it's accomplished appropriate now aback the bulk is accepting acquired by the top demand, and abridgement of supplies. So, no acknowledgment on the spider leg bulk lol.
The bow, however, I bethink there was a altercation about this. Not for Araxyte arrows in particular, but for all "ammo". Humans were suggesting that application ammo would accord a addict to assertive things, such as age-old spells. They were adage something like, accomplish the spell furnishings action 100% of the time on abilities, by arresting runes on anniversary adeptness usage. Acutely this never happened, but it was still a altercation that took place.
I'm not adjoin it, personally. If you're abandoned suggesting a addict for abandoned Araxyte arrows and the Baneful bow, afresh I am adjoin it. Bank 90 is able abundant as it is, and shouldn't accept a standalone buff. Things affliction to be buffed beyond the board, if that avenue is taken.

Sure but if they buffed ascensions/bak bolts abandoned ascensions were buffed and annihilation abroad authoritative nox cool for bossing in allegory to ascensions. Ascensions + bolts can be even bigger than sgb now which I anticipate is stupid. I if it comes to dps t90s charge to be somewhat counterbalanced (and accept to absolutely be weaker than t92) the abandoned abode it makes faculty to accept such a aberration is affray dw vs halberds because some administration can be abundant harder if you angle in affray distance.
Both the agents and bow are beneath than legs and accept been for absolutely a while. Even if they do go up, they will not go up by much.
The absolute bearings is eventually all of the baneful weapons will bead to about leg price, and they'll alter aural a few mil.
The botheration is that rax hilts aren't tradeable, but the leg is tradeable. Meaning if you get a abject but no leg, you accept to buy a leg and advertise a weapon. This increases appeal of legs and accumulation of the weapon. Whereas if you get a leg but no hilt, you can advertise the leg - which increases the accumulation of the legs, but doesn't affect the weapons in any way except alongside through the accepting authoritative a new weapon.
This agency that the bulk of legs will be about stable, but the bulk of weapons will abide bottomward to added or beneath adjust about the bulk of the legs - possibly bottomward beneath the bulk of a leg due to the actuality that absolute few nox weapons leave the game.
If rax hilts were tradeable, afresh the bulk of the hilts would appulse the bulk of the weapon, active up baneful weapon prices accordingly, and beneath humans would be affairs spider legs which would drive the bulk of legs down. I'd brainstorm a abject would be annual 5-30m, and the legs would apparently achieve about 100-120m RuneScape gold, and weapons would be 100-150m.
But, that's just my appearance of the situation.


SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera will give a public reading at Skidmore College on Wednesday, March 23. Free and open to the public, the event will begin at 7 p.m. in Gannett Auditorium, Palamountain Hall.
In "Blood on the Wheel" by Herrera, blood is the motif. The rhythmic litany weaves imagery of blood through the lives of migrants and laborers, women and children, prostitutes and hoodlums, Mexicans and Bosnians. Herrera's other poems are spare, or partly prose, or as much visual as verbal—a diversity he will bring to his March 23 reading.
The son of migrant farm workers, Herrera has won numerous honors for his poetry and novels, as well as his performance art and activism on behalf of migrants, at-risk youth, and others. He was educated at UCLA and Stanford University, and earned an MFA from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. His numerous poetry collections include 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can't Cross the Border: Undocuments 1971-2007, Half of the World in Light: New and Selected Poems (2008), and Border-Crosser with a Lamborghini Dream (1999). He became the 21st U.S. Poet Laureate in 2015.
His time on campus will include a brown-bag lunch session, where he'll interact with students from Rangil's course as well as from an international affairs course on the U.S.-Mexico border, a study of Latino/a history, and courses in Spanish and Latin American studies.
The March 23 public event will include the awarding of an honorary degree from Skidmore. A Q&A with the audience will follow the poetry reading. Afterward, at a reception in the lobby, Northshire Bookstore of Saratoga Springs will cohost a book signing by the author.

Construction has begun on the rehabilitation of a 15-unit apartment building at 7953 South Vernon in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood. FitzGerald Associates is providing full architectural services on the restoration, which is being funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
The three-story building, which was originally constructed in the early 1900's, featured 15 units, one of which was duplexed into the building's basement and included a space that is believed to have served as a pub or neighborhood club space. As a part of the rehabilitation, FitzGerald Associates designed new secure storage and shared laundry facilities for the building's 15 rehabilitated apartments. The work has been phased to accommodate existing tenants, with current residents taking occupancy of newly finished residences as they become available and creating the necessary vacancies for work to proceed on the rest of the building.

Meenakshi Narain, 1964-2023
It is with deep sadness that we inform you that our colleague and friend, Meenakshi Narain, passed away on January 1, 2023. Meenakshi joined the Brown University Department of Physics faculty in 2007 and served as the first woman to chair the department beginning on July 1, 2022.
A prominent high energy experimentalist, Meenakshi was deeply involved with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and the DØ experiment at Fermilab. Meenakshi conducted pioneering research on the Higgs boson and other fundamental particles and spearheaded a multidisciplinary effort to bring advanced quantum sensing and quantum computing techniques to high energy physics. She was instrumental in discovering the top quark, the heaviest fundamental particle, in 1995 and authored or co-authored over 850 articles in leading physics journals.
Meenakshi earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. She had an Sc.B. degree from Gorakhpur University in India and an Sc.M. in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, which recently awarded her a distinguished alumna award.
Meenakshi made numerous significant contributions to the CMS experiment in physics analysis, detector operations, and detector upgrades. She was a member of the CMS Management Board as the United States regional representative. She served as the Chair of the U.S. CMS Collaboration and was a leader of the CMS group from Brown. She was a founding chair of the CMS Diversity Office and a leader of the CMS Women's Forum. She was also a leader in the U.S. CMS Tracker Upgrade Project. In a statement, the U.S. CMS leadership group noted, "Her impact on CMS has been immeasurable and her many contributions have been critical to the success of the collaboration."
Meenakshi was a strong and persistent advocate for diversity and inclusion in Physics. She served as a member of the CMS Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion and engaged in STEM outreach activities to encourage the participation of young women in science. She organized the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) at Brown in 2022 and 2023. She was the founding chair of the Diversity Committee of the CMS experiment. She was an informal mentor and faculty advisor of the Department of Physics Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) group and served on the University GWiSE Advisory Committee. She was also the organizer and founder of the Big Bang Science Fair at WaterFire, a public outreach event promoting the appreciation of science.
Meenakshi received numerous awards and accolades for her work. She was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2007. In 2012 she was elected a Fellow of the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab where she served as Coordinator promoting collaboration with colleagues from South America, Europe, India and Iran. In 2000 she earned an Outstanding Junior Investigator Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award, along with many other awards throughout her career. Recently she served on the DOE's High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), and she was just chosen as a member of HEPAP's P5 subpanel, which will advise the federal government on priorities for the field.
Meenakshi will be missed by her colleagues and friends across the University and beyond. We send our deepest condolences to them, particularly to her husband, Professor Ulrich Heintz, and her sons, Aneesh and Anand Heintz.
UPDATE: Viewing and Eulogies for Professor Meenakshi Narain will be at The Historic Chapel, Swan Point Cemetery, 585 Blackstone Blvd, Providence, RI on Saturday, January 7, 2023, from 10:30 am to noon.

Nissan Motor has confirmed that its board of directors voted unanimously to dismiss Carlos Ghosn as its chairman after he was arrested on suspicion of falsifying financial reports and other misconduct.
The company said in a statement that its aim was to minimise the impact from the case on its alliance with France's Renault SA and smaller Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi Motor Corp.
It said Mr Ghosn and another executive, Greg Kelly, were also dismissed as representative directors.
