In this month's column, I look at two video poems that are the result of collaborations between poets, artists, and videographers. Each brought surprises, insights and quandaries to its creators. Each opened unexpected doors, built new relationships, and furthered artistic possibilities.
"I knew how to do this immediately. I deal with a lot of art directors, and they always want you to change this or that. Nicelle loved everything I did." Nicelle and Cheryl live on opposite coasts, so they didn't meet in person until recently. "We worked independently, for the most part. I left her alone and she left me alone" until the final edits were made.
"At Freeman's Farm" is based on Marilyn's poem of the same name, with the voices of Marilyn and several war veterans making up the soundtrack (Marilyn also sings "Les Berceaux" by Gabriel Faure, adding to the film's elegiac mood). It was filmed on the location of the first battle of Saratoga, which took place in 1777 during the Revolutionary War. Today that site is calm and pastoral, filled with woods and fields. The gentle landscape, coupled with the stories of battles and violence, create a feeling of disconnection for the viewer.
In an interview with Marilyn and Peter Verardi, the project's videographer, I learned that the project quickly changed from her original vision. "I thought I would add war footage to the video, but the voices of veterans were enough." Peter, a Vietnam veteran himself, agreed.
"I had to figure out how to involve the community," Marilyn said. "It was hard at first, but then I found people who had been affected by war. It helped that Peter was a veteran and could put people at ease – there's a language that veterans share." Marilyn reached out to veterans at her college, and learned some surprising things: "Vietnam veterans are much more willing to talk. They've all been in therapy so long that they're used to it," Peter said. World War II vets are much more reluctant. "They come from a different generation, where men kept their feelings locked up," Marilyn added.
The project had some surprising outcomes. One respondent finally sought treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Being part of the project helped him "fall apart" and admit he needed help. Marilyn connected with an active duty soldier, Army Sergeant Michelle Lindsay, deployed to Iraq and the only woman besides Marilyn whose voice is heard on the video.
Both of the collaborative teams have plans to work together again. Marilyn has ideas for artworks that include music and dance, and Peter takes writing classes and enjoys reading poetry. Cheryl and Nicelle worked together on a book titled In the Circus of You, with poems by Nicelle and illustrations by Cheryl, due in 2014 from Rose Metal Press.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will not run for re-election, he announced Friday.
Speculation has been brewing since sources said the mayor had planned to make a major announcement Thursday.
Ravenstahl had also been noticeably absent from recent public appearances.
He indicated that the burden of his job had become too great for him and his family, but said he was happy with his decision.
"This is a day that I'm excited about," he said.
"Over time the truth will prevail and it will come out," he later added.
With his mother and father standing by, the mayor said he has grown weary of fending off the constant questions and their toll on him and his family.
Despite saying that the FBI investigation into the Police Bureau was not the reason for his withdrawal, members of the media repeatedly asked if it played any part in his decision.
Ravenstahl said that there was no specific reason for his withdrawal, but he has felt like he should leave office for a long time and had been fighting that feeling.
The mayor had often been taken to task for his youthful exploits and accused of being too immature for the job. But he gave a litany of his own achievements ranging from the Pittsburgh Promise to his role in stemming population loss and fostering re-development.
In the end, he said he was grateful to have risen so high at such a young age.
However, Ravenstahl officially threw in his bid for the mayoral race just 10 days ago.
He also said he was not scared of losing, but rather had never felt so competent in his ability to win.
It was also rumored that Ravenstahl would step down amidst news that his mom had a major health problem.
When asked what he planned to do after his term is over, Ravenstahl only said that he would be a T-ball coach and had not made any other plans.
Ravenstahl first announced that he would run for re-election during a taping of the KD/PG Sunday Edition in November.
Ravenstahl has been mayor since 2006, when former mayor Bob O'Connor unexpectedly died.

0:00-8:00: Introducing the concept for this new podcast series, which should result in some catharsis about this misery we share. After welcoming Zach Gottschalk (who loves Sublime and Bill Simmons), we launch into our conversation. Before the meat and potatoes, we have an appetizer of unicorns, Blink-182, and aliens. The first course is a heaping pile of playoff baseball, which we have to watch other people eat.
8:10-21:00: A power move by Zach within the first ten minutes, as he plugs something he wrote in 2018. While we settle in, the boys reminisce on their intros to the Mariners. Zach's involves his father trying to sell him to Bobby Higginson at this 2001 affair. Looks like the moment he was referring to was in the third inning. In peak early-2000s Seattle moments, we bring up a story of John Olerud visiting an elementary school. How do our lives unfold if the Mariners hadn't been a team of mercenary gods back then? If anyone is feeling like a detective, please go back and find Zach's old posts about the 2010 team.
21:15-33:40: Realizing things are bad. A quick In Memoriam reel of prospects past. Who introduced you to this pain we shoulder with every move, and can they pay for extensive therapy? When did you take stock of your life and begin to grasp how much control you gave to the Seattle Mariners? A reference to some words online.
My most unpopular opinion is that being obsessed with sports is literally a soft introduction to fascism.
— Jules Suzdaltsev (@jules_su) September 15, 2019
33:45-43:00: Are you a Mariners fan first or a baseball fan first? When being so invested in baseball, do you ever find yourself in awe of those who don't? It's interesting to reflect on how unapproachable baseball tries to make itself, and the fact that we keep coming back in spite of that. Matthew and Zach come to a moment of clarity about consuming the Mariners the way other people consume The Office. Zach expertly slips in some takes about the Chargers, because we're a welcoming show. Matthew brags about saving the franchise, who was 32-30 at the time of his 1995 birth before going 47-36, making the playoffs, beating the Yankees, and sticking around for our blogging pleasure.
43:05-1:04:45: Trying to contextualize the 2001 season as people who were extremely young and stupid at the time. Zach brings up the Star Wars throw, the All-Star Game, and blowing a 14-2 lead in Cleveland. Matthew only remembers things because of the movie Sweet 116.
Praise for steroids and schoolyard rumors before bidding adieu. We are the beatniks, and podcasts are our open road.

Singapore reviewing complex COVID-19 protocols

Singapore is reviewing how to simplify its COVID-19 pandemic protocols that many in the city state find over complex, including whether to continue testing those who show no symptoms of the disease, the government said on Saturday.
The country returned to tighter measures this week following record new daily cases, although the vast majority of those infected had mild or no symptoms as Singapore has vaccinated 82% of the population.
The government has ramped up testing in recent days in a bid to ringfence cases, but experts have questioned the need for aggressive testing of asymptomatic people. Of the recent cases more than 98% have mild or no symptoms.
Several recent changes to rules regarding testing and isolation have also created confusion and frustratihere among locals.
"We are relooking at all our protocols and one of the areas we are looking at is how to address people who have no symptoms at all, and whether or not we need to test them," Kenneth Mak, the health ministry's director of medical services, told reporters.
He reiterated the government had no plans to make vaccination compulsory as shots including those from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna only have provisional approval, but added the situation will be re-evaluated if they receive full approval.
Authorities also announced a slew of changes to COVID-19 travel rules, including requiring all work and student visa holders to be fully vaccinated before arrival in the city state from next month.
Singapore will also cut the isolation period to 10 days for travelers who currently have to serve 14 days, the health ministry said in a statement.
The country, which is rolling out the third dose of vaccines for the elderly, will likely extend boosters for healthcare and frontline workers, the ministry added.
The country reported a record 2,909 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday and the health ministry estimated the daily figure may reach as many as 5,000 by around mid-October, although most of those affected would have no or mild symptoms.

The fast-twitch fibers are best worked in a four-to-six-rep range, so why not just do X Reps in that rep range? The time under tension for the above, assuming a three-seconds-up/one-second-down cadence, equals about 16 seconds plus four X Reps. That's a total time under tension of 26 seconds. Won't lower reps and heavier weights produce more growth?
A: Heavier weights and lower reps will produce more growth—in a couple of fast-twitch fiber types. Scientists believe there are at least five (some even say nine) different fast-twitch fiber types, some being slightly more endurance oriented than others. So a set with four to six reps plus X Reps may do great things for one or two of those; but to get at the others you'd want to include slightly higher-rep sets (or include drop sets and supersets in combination with X Reps, as outlined in The Ultimate Mass Workout e-book). That will help you hit as many fast-twitch types as possible.
Technically speaking, fiber makeup dictates which rep range should dominate for an individual. For example, if you have more pure fast-twitch fibers, lower reps should dominate in your routine, but you shouldn't neglect other rep ranges because you want to hit as many fiber types as possible to max out growth. In other words, the more fibers you get to grow, the bigger your muscles will be.
In our cases, Jonathan, being more mesomorphic (muscular/athletic), responds to lower reps, but he also includes drop sets and supersets to hit a variety of fiber types as well (those techniques bring in an endurance component). Steve, on the other hand, responds better to higher reps, as he's an ectomorph (hardgainer/skinny) with more endurance-oriented fast-twitch fibers as well as lots of slow-twitch fibers. Heavy straight sets don't do much for him, so he relies more on drop sets and supersets, while still keeping the reps in the six-to-12 range. That means if he does a drop set of 8(6) reps—eight reps, reduce the weight and immediately do six reps—he's doing 14 reps. That's two lower-rep sets back to back, giving him the best of both worlds. Add X Reps to one of those sets and he gets even more time under tension, overloading a number of fiber types. It's a very efficient way to train for more muscle mass.
Remember, it's not about just hitting fast-twitch fibers with low reps. There are a number of different fast-twitch fibers that vary in work capacity. We attack that problem by doing heavy work but also getting more endurance-oriented anaerobic work by using supersets and drop sets along with X Reps.

Levine Brings Statistics to Faculty Senate Members
November 18, 2015 3:44 pm by Danielle Francis
(Alan Levine)

Students and Faculty members joined the Faculty Senate of Florida A&M University along with Board of Governors member, Alan Levine; State University System Chancellor Marshall Criser III and vice chancellor for academic and student affairs; and Jan Ignash, vice chancellor for academic to discuss the university's work plan.
Levine had much to say about graduation and retention rates at FAMU, but one of the main focal points during the meeting was on a recent opinion piece by Levine that was published in the Tallahassee Democrat.
In his article, Levine mentioned the lack of harmony shared between FAMU's newly selected president, Dr. Elmira Mangum, her expected respect toward the Board of Trustees as well as FAMU students marching to the capital to support the president.
At the meeting, Bettye Grable, Faculty Senate president and a FAMU trustee welcomed Levine to the floor as he discussed the performance of FAMU academically, the degrees being provided at FAMU as well as graduation and retention rates.
"Today at FAMU, 39 percent of your entering freshmen can expect to get a degree in six years," Levine said. "61 percent may not expect to have a degree in six years. What comes with that?"
Levine continued by praising FAMU for admitting students coming from low income backgrounds with low GPAs but also addressed the effect when it comes to graduation rates.
Former interim president at FAMU and co-chair of the committee, Larry Robinson says, "I think the important thing to understand that students who come from low income backgrounds aren't necessarily students who have low GPAs. The real dialogue is how do we make sure we provide students a realistic opportunity to be successful at FAMU regardless of their economic circumstances."
Levine proceeded to talk about FAMU's high percentage of offering financial assistance as well as competing with other universities but faculty members were eager to question Levine about his quantitative research and whether or not the university should be compared to other schools that receive higher funding.
"Several of the faculty senators expressed their concerns about how those metrics impact FAMU and proposed some different ways looking at the contributions that FAMU makes to the state university system," Robinson said.
During the meeting questions about Levine's opinion piece in the Democrat were also asked after he voluntarily brought it up during his initial introduction.
"There's people i'm sure that were offended by things I may have said in my editorial, that was not the intent. The intent was to be provocative," Levine Said.
Dr. Lillie Brown, associate professor of English at Florida A&M University and Faculty Senate member says,"I think it was interesting that Levine addressed his opinion piece because there were and are faculty who were greatly offended by that."
Levine commented on the many other options for FAMU such as partnering with community colleges to ensure an easier transition for some students. He shared that he ultimately wants students at FAMU to get a degree and get a job.
After the meeting was adjourned, students and faculty members were able to address unanswered questions outside of the given time frame.
"I think it was a very fruitful meeting," Brown said. I don't know if anything was particularly solved by that but I think the dialogue is what will help us move forward."

House On the Rocks / Karim Nader Studio
Architect: Karim Nader Studio
Place: Faqra, Lebanon
Photographer: Dia Mrad
On a uniquely beautiful but challenging site in Faqra, Mount Lebanon Governorate, the Lebanese architect Karim Nader completed a concrete and glass retreat, set among limestone rocks to the point of seeming their natural extension.
Located at 1,700 m above sea level, the house, with its transparency and the concrete in the same shade of gray as the rocks, looks like a rock formation carved by millennia of rain, snow and wind.
The small town of Faqra, famous for its majestic archaeological site with Roman and Byzantine ruins and for the Faqra Club, one of the most exclusive Lebanese ski resorts, is characterized by its landscape with scenic jagged rock formations, popularly known under the name of houses of ghosts, which have inspired the design and envelop the new retreat. Nature build us and we build upon Nature – as architect Nader pointed outfor this reason I seek to always listen to the voices of the Site, of Nature and of Man.
The new retreat-residence designed by architect Karim Nader, totally immersed in the splendid nature of Faqra and enveloped by its unique limestone formations, offers its residents panoramic views to the nearby ski resort, the surrounding valleys and, on clear days, to the city of Beirut, about fifty kilometers away, and the Mediterranean Sea.
The house is made up of a dynamic and studied sequence of rooms entirely made of concrete and large glazed openings, gathered under a 18 m long zinc bridging roof. The house is accessed via a stunning long floating staircase, located on the west side, which, meandering between the rocks and the built volumes, leads to a large reception platform-terrace, located on the south side, where a long pool juts out towards the view and cascades down towards the street.
The southeast corner, with its existing circular rock formation, becomes the receptacle for a sundeck with a fire and an extended terrace with lavender plants, scattered smaller rocks and pebbles in perfect Zen style. The interiors house three bedrooms, fully cladded in wood to create warm and welcoming environments, which open up to a small outdoor patio with a tree, a rock and a selected perspective to the landscape.
The living rooms, located under the long bridging roof, are bounded by fully operable façades to the north and south, allowing its residents to enjoy sheltered outdoor spaces in the warmer months.


Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition where there is abnormal contact between your femoral neck and the acetabulum (the socket). This contact occurs due to bony irregularities of the ball or socket leading to pain, decreased range of hip motion, labral tears, and cartilage damage.
The articular cartilage and labral tissue can fray or tear after repetitive contact of this abnormal socket.
FAI impingement generally occurs as two forms: Cam and Pincer impingement.
Intraoperative radiograph showing FAI with CAM deformity outlined with red line.
This is prior to using bur to recontour the femoral head-neck junction.
Pincer Impingement: The Pincer form of impingement is when the socket or acetabular rim is too deep. It covers too much of the femoral head resulting in increased contact between the ball and socket. The Pincer form of impingement may also be caused when the hip socket is abnormally angled backwards causing abnormal impact between the femoral head and the rim of the acetabulum.
head-neck shape and relieve impingement with the acetabulum and labrum.
Most patients with FAI have a combination of the Cam and Pincer forms.
Conservative treatment options refer to management of the problem without surgery. Non-surgical management of FAI will not change the underlying abnormal bone shape that is contributing to the FAI but may improve your pelvis position to relieve pain and impingement. Therapy may also provide relief of muscle inflammation that can mimic symptoms of FAI.
Hip arthroscopy to address femoroacetabular impingement can comprise of reshaping the femoral head, trimming the acetabular rim, repairing labral tears, and addressing cartilage lesions.

A: You might have a perfectly configured system which would still be slow if you had a heavy load. What version of MySQL are you running? What's your traffic like?
I'm worried about this "default-storage-engine=myisam" - what storage engine do your tables use? If your app is update heavy and all of your tables use MyISAM, then you could be experiencing locking issues - MyISAM is good for read-heavy/write-light types of load.
Take a look at the Performance Schema (P_S) - it tells you where your system is spending its time - you can go after the low-hanging fruit that way. Don't just go blindly changing my.cnf parameters in the hope that something "good" is going to happen.
Your bottleneck could be I/O? What's your configuration in that area? Are you coming close to any limits in your Amazon package?
[EDIT in response to OP's question]
Take a look here. Also, you could use MySQL Workbench to install it. Workbench is a great (Open Source) tool anyway so there's no reason not to use it. The only problem is that the P_S only came into existence for 5.5 - so it's functionality is limited compared to the 5.6 releases. If you can upgrade, I would.

Close racing at the Windermere Cup
The BROOKES|Rowing Men's 1st VIII recently returned from a week-long trip to Seattle, where they were invited by the University of Washington to take part in this year's Windermere Cup.
The race took place on the world-renowned Montlake Cut between Oxford Brookes, the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia. It is one of the highlights of the collegiate rowing calendar, with recent competitors including New Zealand, China and Great Britain. This year's race was dubbed the "World Series" of university rowing because it featured the top crews from Britain, Canada and the United States.
The race itself, which can be found here, started with a huge push by UW to edge into a lead of just under a length at the 500m mark. Brookes held onto them through the middle 1000m whilst moving away from UBC, before stepping through significantly coming into the last few hundred meters of the race.
A courageous final wind saw Brookes almost push up onto Washington, but were cut short, eventually losing out to the Huskies by 0.457s. This is the second closest race in the 32 year history of the race- quite a spectacle for the spectators of Seattle's Opening Day of Boating Season. Brookes finished in a time of 5:36.239 to Washington's 5:35.782.
"It was an unreal experience and something very special to take part in. We are obviously disappointed with the result, but there are many lessons to be learned for the regatta season ahead"– Henry Swarbrick, 7 seat
The race puts BROOKES|Rowing at the forefront of World University rowing- Washington are currently the No.1 ranked US crew and have a number of national titles throughout the last few years.

NPE2015 to showcase startup companies with connections to the plastics industry
SPI, the producer of the triennial NPE, has launched a new program called the NPE2015 Startup Garage. In partnership with the new-venture tracking firm Startup.Directory, SPI will provide 12 startups with prominently located exhibit stations at the show, which will take place March 23-27, 2015 in Orlando, FL. The 12 will be selected by NPE2015 show management and Startup.Directory from among the companies responding to a call for applications now being issued by SPI at www.npe.org/startup-garage-npe2015.
An online application form must be submitted by Nov. 21, 2014. To be eligible, a company cannot have had any commercially available products or services prior to January 1, 2013 and must provide solutions to firms manufacturing plastics or using plastics as a material within their product.

Illustrator. Mixed Media. Multi Arts.
John lives in Adelaide, where he works as an illustrator and mixed media artist. His back- ground is in both graphic design and storytelling.
Since the birth of his daughter in 2012 the focus of his work has shifted greatly toward disability with a particular focus on the shift from the medical to social models.
He believes that art is about communication and making connections between people. Art moves people, brings them joy, makes them think, gives them empathy, but most of all art is fun.


If you talk on the phone regularly and for long periods of time, a headset is a great tool to prevent headaches, stiff necks and sore shoulders. If you really want a new and healthy experience, invest in a cordless headset. Being able to stand up, walk around and use your hands while talking on the phone is not only healthier, it helps you be even more productive. One of the most popular brands is Plantronics and we personally enjoy using them.

"Isaac's Wells Project"
February 7, 2010 at 7:44 pm 0
During the second civil war that ravaged the country of Sudan between 1983 and 2003, tens of thousands of boys and girls, especially ones from the predominantly Christian section of Southern Sudan, were displaced or orphaned. Around 20,000 of these boys, most of whom were between the ages of three and ten, trekked hundreds of miles on foot through the desert seeking refuge in Ethiopia. Many perished.
After four years when the Ethiopian government was overthrown they were forced to flee again. However, as they approached the border of Sudan, the Sudanese troops opened fire on them and killed many of them. The survivors managed to make it to Kenya where the Red Cross provided food and shelter at refugee camps.
In 2001 approximately 3,800 of these "Lost Boys," as they came to be known, arrived in the United States to live with volunteer families. A couple dozen of these refugees, now in their 20s and early 30s, have settled in the Cleveland, Ohio, area where they have been pursuing further education while working several jobs to support their family members who are surviving the ordeals of the refugee camps in Kenya or the dire poverty in their home villages in Sudan.
One of the Cleveland "Lost Boys" is Isaac Mabior Malong. In 2006 Isaac returned to his home village in Aweil, Sudan. He had to make the trip clandestinely through Uganda to avoid detection by the northern Sudan government which would have captured him. In Aweil he was able to visit his mother, two brothers and a married sister. The rest of his family had been killed or had perished from starvation or lack of potable water.
Before he returned to the United States the people of his village begged him to appeal to the people in America to help them obtain clean water. Their only source at the time was a river two hours away from the village and it was contaminated.
Isaac returned to Cleveland and, with the help of his sponsors, organized a fund raising campaign the purpose of which was to secure $60,000 to cover the cost of drilling four wells in Aweil before the spring of 2009.
The campaign is called "Isaac's Wells" and its mission is on track thanks largely to the collaboration of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland Foundation, the Diocesan Social Action Office, and Catholic Relief Services. Isaac spends part of his time building solidarity between the communities of Cleveland and Aweil by telling school students in Ohio about life in Sudan.

Few things stir the pot of nutritional controversy like dietary fat. Think of a famous plate of English grub and chances are it'll hold more fat than a sumo wrestler's jockstrap: fish and chips, sausage rolls, egg and bacon; pasties, pies and pork scratchings – we might as well be dining with the devil.
But before we jump on the nearest anti-fat bandwagon, we need to take a closer look at this dietary demon – things are not as simple as they seem.
Technically fat is classed as a 'macronutrient' – along with carbohydrates and proteins. Macronutrients are vital sources of energy. They give us the calories that power our bodies. But along with fuel, we need fats to help our bodies absorb vitamins – particularly A, D and E – and to produce essential hormones. Fat helps keep our skin and hair healthy, provides insulation against the cold, and protects our organs. In short, a certain amount of the right kind of fat is essential for a healthy diet.
Are all fats born equal?
Omega-6 fats are found in vegetable oils such as rapeseed, corn and sunflower oils. Most of us get enough omega-6 but the NHS says we should eat at least two portion of oily fish a week to boost our omega-3.
Remember though that all fats are high in calories. There are nine calories in every gram of fat, whatever the variety. For proteins and carbs it's around four. If you eat more fat than you burn, you'll put on weight.
Most of us in the UK eat too much saturated fat – it's one of the reasons why we have high levels of heart disease and stroke. The government reckons that men should have less than 30g a day, while women should keep it under 20. For children it is lower still.
So goodbye to the pies?
Not necessarily. There's no reason why a healthy diet can't include a few treats now and again. It's getting the balance right. Aim to swap out the bulk of unhealthy fats, avoid trans altogether, and there's nothing to stop you scarfing the odd chip butty. It's all in the balance.

41 Scarborough
The people of the world know about Scarborough. Paul Simon made the folk song Scarborough Fair famous outside the UK. The fair was an annual six-week trading festival that began in 1253. It ended in 1788. Today there is a museum/tourist attraction called Scarborough Fair, and the odd event happens in September. The considerable efforts of the great playwright Alan Ayckbourn have been restricted to this century and the last. He is based in the town, and all of his 75 plays have been premiered at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough. Although the economy of Scarborough is dominated by tourism, the hunters and foragers of the fishing industry continue. Other foragers travel across the world to visit the Stephen Joseph Theatre and to watch an Ayckbourn play, a little like Elvis and Memphis. The presence of Ayckbourn may explain why 19% of the 63,000 population is employed in the creative industries and why graffiti art culture exists on this part of the North Yorkshire coast. Scarborough Council has prescribed areas where aerosol daubing is legal.
Scarborough Spa may not have appeal for the worldwide fans of Ayckbourn but the concerts of violinist Max Jaffa and his orchestra at the theatre were broadcast on BBC radio between 1956 and 1986. Jaffa played light music but was an accomplished musician. He refused to be leader of the Scottish Symphony Orchestra. His autobiography was called A Life On The Fiddle. The title suggests a man who liked to entertain and who did not take himself too seriously. The comparison with the rhythm and blues hero Louis Jordan who eschewed jazz so that he could entertain ordinary folk is wild but tempts. Jaffa let a legacy. Scarborough Spa has an orchestra in residence. It is the last seaside orchestra in Britain.
St Martins On The Hill is a pleasant Anglican church made exceptional because the decoration and stained glass panels were designed by William Morris and Co. The pulpit has ten panels painted by Gabriel Rossetti.
The bay of Scarborough is defined by two broad cliffs. The locals live and shop on the plateau above the cliffs. Below them the bay is divided into North and South. The latter has the fun fairs, and the former has the Castle. Although there were early Stone and Bronze Age settlements, the town was built by Vikings in the 9th Century. Find a quiet spot on North Bay, and the appeal to Vikings becomes obvious. In the 17th Century the supposed healing properties of the water attracted visitors. The beach facilitated horse racing, and the sport can still be seen on the beaches of the Yorkshire Coast. Railways expanded the potential of tourism, and Scarborough rail station has the longest platform seat in Britain. The Grand Hotel was built in 1863 and, like Marcel Proust, the architect was obsessed with time. The Hotel has four towers, twelve floors and fifty-two chimneys. The parents of the gifted actor Charles Laughton owned a hotel in Scarborough. Laughton witnessed the phenomenon of Elvis Presley when he introduced the singer on the Ed Sullivan show. Laughton understood talent. The recordings of that seminal moment reveal his relish and pleasure. If Laughton ever regretted leaving Yorkshire, it was not that evening.

Lee Standing Bear Moore's Visions of the Future
Author Topic: Lee Standing Bear Moore's Visions of the Future (Read 12361 times)
"Chance favors the prepared mind."—Louis Pasteur
This was pass along to me this morning by Linda Schiller-Hanna of lightworker22.com.
Well worth reading.
HONORING THE VISIONS
By Takatoka and friends
A waking, walking vision was given to Grandfather Bear beginning on the night of the winter solstice (December 21, 2009: 17:47 and continued until the solar eclipse and the new moon appeared on January 15, 2010. On January 5, under the weight heart problems, conflicts in the environment and this dream, he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized until January 11. On February 25, doctors inserted a defibullator/pacemaker in his chest.
"...In our vision, we saw no disasters and political or economic upheaval, even though there certainly will be those things in 2010 and beyond. We saw no illnesses or war, though humankind will suffer tremendous loses from these destructive forces in the coming year and beyond. We saw no cataclysmic cosmic changes but increased sun flares and increased radiation and energy will bombard of the earth. We saw no darkness or evil, but those things will continue to invade our space and time..."
Bear continually deals with negative forces and upheaval in the lives of those who are in contact with Manataka -- the Place of Peace, the place of healing. He deals with his own physical afflictions brought about by age and old war wounds. Regardless of the constant dark whirlwind spinning around the Place of Peace that attempts to destroy to the light and serenity of Manataka, he maintains a steady hand and a big smile for most people. However, there are times when Bear stands up and lifts his paws ready to strike when he or his people are threatened. You can't trust what a bear might do when faced with danger.
"It is a balancing act," he says, "And it is a fun game if we keep strong faith and do our work in a good way."
(Lee Standing Bear does not speak or write using first-person references such as I, me, mine, etc. When referring to himself, he always speaks using third-person references such as we, our, us, etc. He says the reason for this odd way of expression is to constantly remind him that he is not alone and God is with him; to always consider others; and never allow ego expressions of I, me, and mine to enter conversations.)
Prophecies, revelations and visions of the future are sometimes hard to interpret, difficult to place in context of the present and when a prediction may take place. With his permission, here is an excerpt of my interview with Grandfather Bear:
Takatoka: Please tell us about your dreams and visions of the future:
Lee Standing Bear: "Our vision was liquid, flowing, and filled with changing colors of light. We stood on the sacred mountain and listened to the wind songs blow through the trees and rock faces. Swirling colors of the rainbow appeared and disappeared like swirling smoke and the earth moved, swaying at first, then slowly spinning in a counter-sun-wise circle. The giant grandfather bear of ancient times, the great cave bear, appeared and began to dance around an oak tree. He danced around the tree four times and then lifted his left paw and heavily drug it downward across the bark four times, scratching out deep markings in river-like patterns. The bear then stood with his paw resting on the tree as he bowed his head and muttered in a deep rumble mixed with a low whimper as if he were praying. After a time, the bear's thick coat began to change colors. It changed from black to dark brown, then to cinnamon red, and finally the color of his fur faded away to become white.
The Spirit Bear suddenly spun around and faced us and his red-black eyes stared intently into our own eyes. His eyes sent a prolonged message in his language. The words were unclear, and the long stare into our eyes became stronger, louder and words of the message came faster and faster. Over and over the Bear repeated the confusing message with his mind splitting gaze. Then pictures began to flash in our mind and we realized the bear's eye-words were being interpreted into images that were hazy, undefined and without form. The confusion and power of the Spirit Bear's eye-words overwhelmed us and we suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried out, "Help Creator!"
We laid there for hours or maybe days in a deep sleep. We were awakened by screeching and a loud thump of something landing on the ground nearby. Our body was covered with thick dew and moss had begun to form on our legs and arms. Leaves and dirt had blow over us like a soft blanket and the world around us seemed to have changed somehow. The Spirit Bear was gone but the paw markings on the oak tree were still there, but faded and covered with moss. Four eagles and four hawks flew overhead. Each in its turn, the four hawks of different colors swooped down with talons bared and screeching. Two landed in the field and two landed in the oak tree as the eagles continued to circle above. The hawks in the tree spoke in unison.
"We come to give Bear a message, so you must listen and know it is blessed. The days of yesterday are gone. You have crossed to the other side of time and now you will understand the wonder and mystery of life in the beyond. The universe has changed and what was is no longer. What will be is what was in the beginning. Life has not started over, it has moved upward in the spiral of time. Your being remembers all that was and what will be shall unfold with great alacrity. The Spirit Bear imprinted the path and the depth and breadth of your journey, but you must remain here to become prepared to accept the message of tomorrow."
The hawks flew down from the tree and landed near the others in the field. Looking down, we saw a ball-like object on the ground near where we laid. It must have fallen from the sky and made the loud thump that awakened us. It was transparent and as we picked it up it felt semi-solid and warm to the touch like a living being.
"Who are you?," we asked.
The orb made no sound or movement, but two blue star-like lights appeared in the center began to slowly throb like a heart beat.
"Are you alive?," we asked and the blue lights flashed faster.
"What are you friend?"
The blue light shot beams in a hundred directions within the orb creating a prism that pulsed like a beating heart. It startled us and the orb dropped to the ground landing in thick moss. The crystal-looking sphere laid there without a sound or movement and the light inside had disappeared. Kneeling down, we lightly poked its outer surface and it was soft and the blue lights reappeared. A low whirling musical sound came from the orb. The sound increased in volume and the sounds became words and the orb spoke:
"During your sleep, you and other creatures were spared the changes in the Earth. Humans as you knew them are no longer the same. The people now live differently and their blood is different. Soon, the red sky will appear and greater changes will cause cataclysmic devastation mans creations. Many will walk with iron legs and their eyes will lifeless and colorless. As the Red Sun approaches, a vast number of the human population will be reduced to ashes and smoke.
Those humans who follow a simple life, without greed or avarice and know the original sacred instructions of the ancients will survive to rebuild. Humans will remember the old ways and will not need words to speak with the creatures and other things of nature. Hawks will speak to humans and humans will speak with creation. Humans will use water drops to travel great distances in an instant and water will be used to communicate with all things in an instant.
Beasts of ancient times will be reborn and those of other worlds and times will roam the earth. Humans will not build large cities or monuments to themselves. All things that were in the ancient times will be again. The sacred original instructions will be again."
The orb became cold and the light faded. At first, it appeared the moss was growing over the orb, but instead the orb slowly sank into the deep moss and disappeared into the earth. Somehow, we knew the orb was not gone forever. The voice, warmth, colors and feel of the orb was strangely familiar. It seemed like the orb was either an old friend or teacher from the past, an maybe an ancient grandfather. We knew in the orb was a part of our heart.
Still sitting on the green carpet, we looked around and began to notice changes in the earth. Long strings of purple-colored ivy covered the trees and surrounding bushes; Strange looking huge multi-colored flowers bloomed everywhere. The most striking sight was the clouds above that were all lined with a blue tinge and the color of the sky was no longer blue, but orange and pink. The day was not day, but a twilight between nightfall and a hazy daylight. The forest was alive with dozens of unfamiliar sounds. The place was peculiarly familiar, yet we have no memory of the sounds, plants, and sky of the beautiful, yet eerie place.
All the changes in the earth and heavens were mind-boggling, the messages of the Hawks and the strange orb left us confused and exhausted. We laid back on the deep moss and fell asleep. Our sleep was punctuated with many strange faces and sounds that we do not remember or understand fully. When we awoke, Bear was still standing on the same spot on top of the sacred Manataka mountain.
Takatoka: Grandfather Bear's vision was repeated many times over the next three weeks. The dreams and visions were never exactly the same, but contained many of the same elements. The messages were not given all at one time, but sprinkled a little bit into each dream as the entire message unfolded. "What was the most graphic thing you saw Grandfather?"
Lee Standing Bear: "We saw the water turning black and the wind was yellow. The swamps where the Chatau and Chien people live were bubbling black and the people could not eat. This made us frightened, so we called on the Great Mystery, the power of God, to save the land, the fish and all manner of life. A great flash and a loud rumble in the sky wiped the scene from our eyes and we laid down to rest.
Takatoka: What does this mean?
Lee Standing Bear: We do not know. Many dreams have no meaning and others are important. It is difficult to say what may be happening in this dimension or in another, real or imagined. It is vital that we seek guidance of the Creator and view the world in a positive way. Many natural events and man-made calamities in the future will frighten us all, but we must know the ways of survival and do the best we can in a right good way.
Takatoka: Is there anything more you can say about your visions? Did they all occur while you were on the sacred mountain?
Lee Standing Bear: No. They began on the mountain while deep in prayer, but the visions came in many places and times over a long period, maybe for close to a month or so. After we descended the mountain after Solstice ceremonies, we felt tipsy and cloudy-headed and needed to rest at home. But the visions gave us no rest. At times the wife and daughter and other people would speak to us, but we could not hear them. We had dreams while eating lunch, fixing a door hinge and while in the lodge. We had visions walking in the woods behind our home. We began to think our mind had finally broke a wire or something and worried about it. Each time a vision would come and go, we offered up prayers and was given assurance, love and peace. Thus, we felt the visions were important and needed more time for reflection. We think it is probably too soon to say much more.
Takatoka: Can you tell us about the dream while you were in the lodge?
Lee Standing Bear: Not right now. It was probably the most important vision of all, but we are much too tired and beg you to wait.
The meaning of the dream on the mountain will be left for another time when Grandfather Lee Standing Bear is strong enough to interpret the messages.
Re: Lee Standing Bear Moore's Visions of the Future
Very powerful and enlightening dream. The Indians have much wisdom which we can learn a lot from including their natural herbs etc.... used for healing the body.
Native Indians were as close to being a part of nature as any race of people. They did not take more than nature could give, and only took what they needed. Many still live, according to those doctrines. I respect them more than any other beings on this planet. There spirits are a part of nature, and their beliefs folllow this belief system.

Yes prayer is important. Prayer, right action right speech and doing something in the physical universe too, to help...

Kentucky game warden applicants are advised to be both qualified for the role and able to prove they are the best candidates for the job. There is stiff competition for the few positions that become available each year and applicants should be ready to demonstrate they have what it takes to effectively enforce natural resource conservation laws in the state's most popular areas for hunting and angling.
Game wardens are responsible for more than law enforcement, performing tasks that include environmental interpretation education, collecting census information on the wildlife and habitats in their area, and occasionally participating in search and rescue missions.
With fierce competition for open game warden positions in Kentucky, applicants need to understand qualifications and best practices, and what the selection process entails in order to have the best shot at landing the job. Candidates should be prepared for multiple interviews and a rigorous selection process.
Kentucky is a state with much diversity in terms of its natural landscape, animal habitats and resources. It has the world's longest cave system, many navigable waterways, and large lakes. Kentucky wildlife census data in recent years has shown that the state has the highest deer and turkey populations in the nation, as well as the largest free-ranging elk herd east of the Mississippi River.
Kentucky has a real need for individuals capable of protecting and managing the state's abundant resources. Conservation officers throughout the state are committed to enforcing fish and game regulations through patrol and enforcement, issuing citations, investigating boating and hunting accidents, and supporting agency education programs. Conservation officers also provide the public with hunting and fishing information and promote and coordinate hunter education and firearm and boating safety classes.
The diverse set of job duties means that candidates must be prepared to showcase their skills, knowledge, and motivation when applying for the jobs that become available. Listed below are the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' minimum qualifications to become a Conservation Officer. Additional information as well as job postings are available through the Kentucky state web portal.
License: A valid Kentucky-issued driver's license is required.
Academic Credentials: Completion of high school or GED is required; an Associate degree or completion of 54 semester hours from a college or university, OR Experience in sworn law enforcement that includes making arrest for criminal activity and conducting criminal investigations OR military service will substitute for the required education on a year for year basis, OR two years' experience working in wildlife resources, agriculture, natural resources or recreation will substitute for each year of the required education.
Interview: Candidates will have a panel interview with senior enforcement officers designed to evaluate experience, knowledge and demeanor.
Vision: The applicant must good corrected or uncorrected binocular vision, and have color vision consistent with the demands of the job.
Must complete a 100 yard swim using either freestyle, breast stroke or side stroke followed by a 10 minute tread immediately followed by retrieving an object from 7 feet of water.
Since the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources employs conservation officers in the Commonwealth as commissioned law enforcement officers with Peace Officer Professional Standard certification, their salary schedule is similar to that of other law enforcement officers. Still, their salaries can vary depending on many factors including location, experience, and level of education.


Tortola /tɔrˈtoʊlə/ is the largest and most populated of the British Virgin Islands, a group of islands that form part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands. It has a total population of 23,908, with 9400 residents in Road Town.
Great Stirrup Cay is the northern most island in a chain of islands known as the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. It is situated in an area along the Northwest Providence Channel. As sailing vessels gave way to steamships, shipping traffic increased through this channel. As a result, in 1863, the Imperial Lighthouse Service erected the lighthouse on Great Stirrup Cay. Although it was manned for many years, it is currently timed and solar-powered.

On my daily walk I sometimes pass by a building called The Institute for Global Citizenship. I can't imagine anything more dispiriting than being a global citizen, a cosmopolitan.
Take away this local patriotism and you take out all the color that is left in American life. That the local patriotism may not only consist with a wider patriotism, but may serve as a most important element in wider patriotism, is true. Witness the strong local life in the old provinces of France. No student of history, no painter of manners, can neglect it. In Gerfaut, a novel written before the Franco-Prussian war, Charles de Bernard represents an Alsatian shepherd as saying, "I am not French; I am Alsatian,"—"trait de patriotisme de clocher assez commun dans la belle province du Rhin," adds the author, little dreaming of the national significance of that "patriotisme de clocher." The Breton's love of his home is familiar to every one who has read his Renan, and Blanche Willis Howard, in Guenn, makes her priest exclaim, "Monsieur, I would fight with France against any other nation, but I would fight with Brittany against France. I love France. I am a Frenchman. But first of all I am a Breton." The Provençal speaks of France as if she were a foreign country, and fights for her as if she were his alone. What is true of France is true in a measure of England. Devonshire men are notoriously Devonshire men first and last.
"Le patriotisme de clocher" is "the patriotism of the bell tower," an anachronism in these days, I suppose, when towers either don't have bells, or, if they do, the bells are silent because ringing them would violate anti-noise ordinances.

Global Cities for Global Corporations
TOWARD A NORTH AMERICAN UNION
Good evening, everybody. Tonight, an astonishing proposal to expand our borders to incorporate Mexico and Canada and simultaneously further diminish U.S. sovereignty. Have our political elites gone mad? --Lou Dobbs on Lou Dobbs Tonight, June 9, 2005
The global elite, through the direct operations of President George Bush and his Administration, are creating a North American Union that will combine Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a superstate called the North American Union (NAU). The NAU is roughly patterned after the European Union (EU). There is no political or economic mandate for creating the NAU, and unofficial polls of a cross-section of Americans indicate that they are overwhelmingly against this end-run around national sovereignty.
To answer Lou Dobbs, "No, the political elites have not gone mad", they just want you to think that they have.
NAFTA/NAU Emblem The reality over appearance is easily cleared up with a proper historical perspective of the last 35 years of political and economic manipulation by the same elite who now bring us the NAU.
This paper will explore this history in order to give the reader a complete picture of the NAU, how it is made possible, who are the instigators of it, and where it is headed.
It is important to first understand that the impending birth of the NAU is a gestation of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, not the Congress. This is the topic of the first discussion below.
The next topic will examine the global elite's strategy of subverting the power to negotiate trade treaties and international law with foreign countries from the Congress to the President. Without this power, NAFTA and the NAU would never have been possible.
After this, we will show that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is the immediate genetic and necessary ancestor of the NAU.
Lastly, throughout this report the NAU perpetrators and their tactics will be brought into the limelight so as to affix blame where it properly belongs. The reader will be struck with the fact that the same people are at the center of each of these subjects.
The Best Government that Money Can Buy
Modern day globalization was launched with the creation of the Trilateral Commission in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Its membership consisted of just over 300 powerful elitists from north America, Europe and Japan. The clearly stated goal of the Trilateral Commission was to foster a "New International Economic Order" that would supplant the historical economic order.
In spite of its non-political rhetoric, The Trilateral Commission nonetheless established a headlock on the Executive Branch of the U.S. government with the election of James Earl Carter in 1976. Hand-picked as a presidential candidate by Brzezinski, Carter was personally tutored in globalist philosophy and foreign policy by Brzezinski himself. Subsequently, when Carter was sworn in as President, he appointed no less than one-third of the U.S. members of the Commission to his Cabinet and other high-level posts in his Administration. Such was the genesis of the Trilateral Commission's domination of the Executive Branch that continues to the present day.
With the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Trilateral Commission member George H.W. Bush was introduced to the White House as vice-president. Through Bush's influence, Reagan continued to select key appointments from the ranks of the Trilateral Commission.
In 1988, George H.W. Bush began his four-year term as President. He was followed by fellow Trilateral Commission member William Jefferson Clinton, who served for 8 years as President and appointed fourteen fellow Trilateral members to his Administration.
The election of George W. Bush in 2000 should be no surprise. Although Bush was not a member of the Trilateral Commission, his vice-president Dick Cheney is. In addition, Dick Cheney's wife, Lynne, is also a member of the Commission in her own right.
The hegemony of the Trilateral Commission over the Executive Branch of the U.S. government is unmistakable. Critics argue that this scenario is merely circumstantial, that the most qualified political "talent" quite naturally tends to belong to groups like the Trilateral Commission in the first place. Under examination, such explanations are quite hollow.
Why would the Trilateral Commission seek to dominate the Executive Branch? Quite simply - Power! That is, power to get things done directly which would have been impossible to accomplish through the only moderately successful lobbying efforts of the past; power to use the government as a bully platform to modify political behavior throughout the world.
Of course, the obvious corollary to this hegemony is that the influence and impact of the citizenry is virtually eliminated.
Modern Day "World Order" Strategy
After its founding in 1973, Trilateral Commission members wasted no time in launching their globalist strategy. But, what was that strategy?
Richard Gardner was an original member of the Trilateral Commission, and one of the prominent architects of the New International Economic Order. In 1974, his article "The Hard Road to World Order" appeared in Foreign Affairs magazine, published by the Council on Foreign Relations. With obvious disdain for anyone holding nationalistic political views, Gardner proclaimed,
"In short, the 'house of world order' would have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."[1] [emphasis added]
In Gardner's view, using treaties and trade agreements (such as General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs or GATT) would bind and supercede constitutional law piece by piece, which is exactly what has happened. In addition, Gardner highly esteemed the role of the United Nations as a third-party legal body that could be used to erode the national sovereignty of individual nations.
Gardner concluded that "the case-by-case approach can produce some remarkable concessions of 'sovereignty' that could not be achieved on an across-the-board basis"[2]
Thus, the end result of such a process is that the U.S. would eventually capitulate its sovereignty to the newly proposed world order. It is not specifically mentioned who would control this new order, but it is quite obvious that the only 'players' around are Gardner and his Trilateral cronies.
It should again be noted that the formation of the Trilateral Commission by Rockefeller and Brzezinski was a response to the general frustration that globalism was going nowhere with the status quo prior to 1973. The "frontal assault " had failed, and a new approach was needed. It is a typical mindset of the global elite to view any roadblock as an opportunity to stage an "end-run" to get around it. Gardner confirms this frustration:
"Certainly the gap has never loomed larger between the objectives and the capacities of the international organizations that were supposed to get mankind on the road to world order. We are witnessing an outbreak of shortsighted nationalism that seems oblivious to the economic, political and moral implications of interdependence. Yet never has there been such widespread recognition by the world's intellectual leadership of the necessity for cooperation and planning on a truly global basis, beyond country, beyond region, especially beyond social system."[3]
The "world's intellectual leadership" apparently refers to academics such as Gardner and Brzezinski. Outside of the Trilateral Commission and the CFR, the vast majority of academic thought at the time was opposed to such notions as mentioned above.
Laying the Groundwork: Fast Track Authority
In Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, authority is granted to Congress "To regulate commerce with foreign nations." An end-run around this insurmountable obstacle would be to convince Congress to voluntarily turn over this power to the President. With such authority in hand, the President could freely negotiate treaties and other trade agreements with foreign nations, and then simply present them to Congress for a straight up or down vote, with no amendments possible. This again points out elite disdain for a Congress that is elected to be representative "of the people, by the people and for the people."
So, the first "Fast Track" legislation was passed by Congress in 1974, just one year after the founding of the Trilateral Commission. It was the same year that Nelson Rockefeller was confirmed as Vice President under President Gerald Ford, neither of whom were elected by the U.S. public. As Vice-President, Rockefeller was seated as the president of the U.S. Senate.
According to Public Citizen, the bottom line of Fast Track is that...
"...the White House signs and enters into trade deals before Congress ever votes on them. Fast Track also sets the parameters for congressional debate on any trade measure the President submits, requiring a vote within a certain time with no amendments and only 20 hours of debate."[4]
When an agreement is about to be given to Congress, high-powered lobbyists and political hammer-heads are called in to manipulate congressional hold-outs into voting for the legislation. (*See CAFTA Lobbying Efforts) With only 20 hours of debate allowed, there is little opportunity for public involvement.
Congress clearly understood the risk of giving up this power to the President, as evidenced by the fact that they put an automatic expiration date on it. Since the expiration of the original Fast Track, there been a very contentious trail of Fast Track renewal efforts. In 1996, President Clinton utterly failed to re-secure Fast Track after a bitter debate in Congress. After another contentious struggle in 2001/2002, President Bush was able to renew Fast Track for himself in the Trade Act of 2002, just in time to negotiate the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and insure its passage in 2005.
It is startling to realize that since 1974, Fast Track has not been used in the majority of trade agreements. Under the Clinton presidency, for instance, some 300 separate trade agreements were negotiated and passed normally by Congress, but only two of them were submitted under Fast Track: NAFTA and the GATT Uruguay Round. In fact, from 1974 to 1992, there were only three instances of Fast Track in action: GATT Tokyo Round, U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement and the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. Thus, NAFTA was only the fourth invocation of Fast Track.
Why the selectivity? Does it suggest a very narrow agenda? Most certainly. These trade and legal bamboozles didn't stand a ghost of a chance to be passed without it, and the global elite knew it. Fast Track was created as a very specific legislative tool to accomplish a very specific executive task -- namely, to "fast track" the creation of the "New International Economic Order" envisioned by the Trilateral Commission in 1973!
Article Six of the U.S. Constitution states that "all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." Because international treaties supercede national law, Fast Track has allowed an enormous restructuring of U.S. law without resorting to a Constitutional convention (Ed. note: Both Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski called for a constitutional convention as early as 1972, which could clearly be viewed as a failed "frontal assault"). As a result, national sovereignty of the United States has been severely compromised - even if some Congressmen and Senators are aware of this, the general public is still generally ignorant.
North American Free Trade Agreement
NAFTA was negotiated under the executive leadership of Republican President George H.W. Bush. Carla Hills is widely credited as being the primary architect and negotiator of NAFTA. Both Bush and Hills were members of the Trilateral Commission!
With Bush's first presidential term drawing to a close and Bush desiring political credit for NAFTA, an "initialing" ceremony of NAFTA was staged (so Bush could take credit for NAFTA) in October, 1992. Although very official looking, most Americans did not understand the difference between initialing and signing; at the time, Fast Track was not implemented and Bush did not have the authority to actually sign such a trade agreement.
Bush subsequently lost a publicly contentious presidential race to democrat William Jefferson Clinton, but they were hardly polar opposites on the issue of Free Trade and NAFTA: The reason? Clinton was also a seasoned member of the Trilateral Commission.
Immediately after inauguration, Clinton became the champion of NAFTA and orchestrated its passage with a massive Executive Branch effort. For part two click below.

J. S. Bach: Toccata in F major, BWV 540/1
J. S. Bach: Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Sing a new song to the Lord), BWV 225 - motet for two four-part choirs
"Students at sports school are proud of how high they can jump, while we're proud of making the audience happy with our singing," a 12-year-old member of the church and boys' choir founded more than 800 years ago recently declared. The unique boarding school, in which nearly 100 boys aged between 9 and 18 currently study, was immortalised by Johann Sebastian Bach.
It has been no small task to keep tradition alive and to remain worthy of the name of the famous Thomaskantor, but the combina...tion of - among other things - a balanced upbringing, wonderful teaching and a select student body together produce the same highest standards today as in the 18th century. This sailor suit-clad community lives in a little world of its own, among friends who help each other in their studies, with a strict daily routine and multi-faceted curriculum. What we witness of this as observers on the outside is the professionalism and marvellously uniform sound that characterises the choir's every performance - since the boys also sing the soprano and alto parts - and the spontaneous musicality that nevertheless permeates their productions. Outside of Europe, they have travelled to the United States, South America and Hong Kong, and are constantly receiving invitations to perform. However, due to the constraints of the school year and commitments in Leipzig, they only go on tour once a year. So if we pass up this opportunity, who knows when we might get the chance to hear them again.
The focus of the choir's repertoire is on Bach and the music of the German Baroque. This evening they sing a selection of works by composers who are less well known today, under the direction of a chorus master who assumed his duties not long ago. Gotthold Schwarz is a former pupil of the St. Thomas School, beginning his musical career in the institution in the 1960s, and continuing to collaborate regularly with the renowned choir in the ensuing decades.
The concert will be preceded from 6.30 pm by a conversation entitled Prelude, where ticket holders will be invited to get to know the performing musician and the works to be performed more closely.

Scrivener 3.0.2 – Project management and word processing tool for writers.
In Compile, it is now possible to turn off the preservation of centred text when formatting is overridden on a section-by-section basis. It is also possible to tell Scrivener to preserve tabs and indents in a Section Layout that otherwise overrides the text formatting. Both of these options are available via the new paintbrush icon at the bottom of the Section Layouts pane. Removed "Hide section in ebook" Section Layout Compile option for Kindle format, because the Kindle currently ignores this ebook option. Added <$pageGroupParentTitle> placeholder for headers and footers. This is the same as <$pageGroupTitle> but outputs the title of the parent document for the page group. Compile will now flag up when formats have the same internal ID (which can cause issues). This could be caused by a Time Machine restore or by copying formats manually in the Application Support folder, and is not likely to occur often. A warning icon is shown for problematic formats and a "Fix Duplicate IDs" option appears in the contextual and gear menus when this condition exists.
Text completions and emojis can now be added to Scrivener's main editor Touch Bar.
"Heading" and "Title" paragraph styles now use Keep-with-Next by default in new projects.
The Format Bar can now show fractions in font sizes.
Added a "Reload from Original Image" option to the contextual menu of linked images in text.
Collapsed footnotes and comments in the Inspector now use an icon rather than text to indicate their type, allowing more room for the comment text preview.
When viewing audio files, the playback controls no longer fade out but remain visible.
Added "Allow limited navigation in web pages" option to Navigation Preferences. When ticked, you can navigate around imported web pages to some degree, and the contextual menu allows you to navigate back and forward. Note that Scrivener is not a dedicated web browser, however.
You can also now hold down Option when clicking a link in a web page to open the link inside Scrivener's browser when "Allow limited navigation" is turned off.
When Scrivener resolves an alias file, if that file is on a volume that is not mounted, Scrivener no longer tries to mount the volume, which could lead to long lock-ups as macOS tried to access the volume.
Added "Paste Plain Text as Screenplay" to the "Edit" menu (only available when a script document has the focus in the editor). This attempts to convert any plain text on the pasteboard to screenplay format, allowing for easier pastes from Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter.
In Scriptwriting mode, the "General Text (Centered)" pop-up menu shortcut is now "E" rather than "C", which clashed with the shortcut for "Character".
It is now possible to set script mode to insert text at the start of a line when hitting tab (under the Tab/Return area of Script Settings).
Added 1.2 line spacing as an option to Script Settings.
Added a new <$mediaPlaybackTime> placeholder that can only be used inside the tab "Insert" fields of Script Settings. This can be used to automatically insert the current playback time of a video or sound file in the other editor by simply hitting tab.
Added a new "Transcript" script format that takes advantage of the new time stamp placeholder, intended for use while working with a video or sound file in the other editor.
Project Statistics now show the average, longest and shortest document lengths.
Added "Show allowance in progress bar" option to document target settings. When ticked, the overflow allowance is shown in the right side of the bar.
Added an option to the "Behaviors" Preferences to turn off 3.0's new behaviour of deleting text dragged out of the editor to other areas of the project.
Added an option to exclude the screenshot when tweeting Project Targets ("Include screenshot when using Twitter service in Project Targets", available in the General > Services area of Preferences).
In the binder contextual menu, "Move to Trash" is now replaced with "Delete" for items contained inside the Trash folder.
It's now possible to permanently delete a trashed document from a collection or search.
Fixed bug that could cause hang in referenced auto-numbers.
Fixed bug whereby an exception could be thrown if using macOS full screen with Composition mode and trying to close the project using the close button in the main window.
Fixed bug whereby if formatting was applied to multiple sections in Scrivenings mode, if any sections were identical, the formatting would only be saved for the first of the identical sections.
Hopefully fixed crash relating to displaying unknown file types.
Fixed a bug whereby the "Author" attribute in the Scrivener project's XML could include invalid XML characters, causing the iOS version not to be able to read the project.
Fixed error that could be thrown on restoring Quick Reference panel tabs when launching Scrivener.
Fixed a rare bug that could cause a hang when exporting to Word.
Fixed bug whereby an edited custom metadata value could be lost on autosave.
Fixed bug whereby turning off "24-Hour Time" in "Language & Region" System Preferences could cause problems with snapshots.
Fixed bug whereby dragging comments or footnotes while editing them could cause the note text to be replaced with that of another comment or footnote.
Fixed bug whereby Scrivener would throw an exception if you tried to view a snapshot on the Copyholder in scriptwriting mode.
Fixed bug whereby Scrivener would throw an exception if you deleted a value in the Tabs and Indents panel and then tried to click into another text field.

Skovuniverset  er den almindelige betegnelse blandt fans for universet i skoven omkring Andeby, det sidste formoder man, fordi også figurer fra Anders Ands univers kan komme på besøg her ind imellem.

Figurerne kommer fra vidt forskellige af Walt Disneys tegnefilm og har alle det tilfælles, at de enten er skovdyr eller bare bor i skoven. I serieform har de fleste af dem deres egen serie, men de dukker også op i hinandens serier som bifigurer og skurke. Som skurk møder vi ofte den heks, som den onde dronning fra Snehvide og de syv  dværge forvandlede sig til, men hun har intet navn og har en hytte i skoven. Nu har ingen af figurerne fra Bambi fået deres egen serie på noget tidspunkt, men meget oplagt har de optrådt i dette skovunivers som bipersoner fra tid til anden, det har især været titelfiguren og kaninen Stampe.

Nogle af dyrene er så menneskeliggjorte, at de bor i typisk amerikanske huse fra landet, f.eks. Store Stygge Ulv, andre lever som dyr selvom de taler og føler som mennesker, f.eks. Chip og Chap.

Der kan så komme besøg fra byen. Anders And selv dukker især op i forbindelse med et klammeri med Chip og Chap og en enkelt gang har Store Stygge Ulv gået på jagt efter ham for at få andesteg, men han har så også gået på hønsetyveri hos Bedstemor And, hvis gård så må ligge tæt ved skoven. Pluto har fået hjælp af Lille Stygge Ulv. Men ellers er det for det meste et univers separeret fra Andeby.
