I'm a mother, and I'd like you to steal this letter to the president.
I am heartbroken, every day that I read more into what our border agencies are conducting in the name of America and her immigration policies.
That is the equivalent of approximately 100 kindergarten classrooms or 166 soccer teams or 2,000 families, broken.
I could no longer do nothing today. Instead of tweeting or facebook-posting or just being all-around frustrated, I decided to write a letter. I'm sending this letter to the President, my Senators and Congressman, and the three departments involved in this inhumane policy: the US Department of Jusice, the Homeland Security Department, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
I encourage you to take this text and create your own letter/email/phonecall. Take ten minutes out of your day today and let your disappointment/disgust be heard. You can find the contact information below.
The policy of separating immigrant families is abhorrent and goes completely against what we stand for here in America. I do not support this policy and demand it be ended immediately.
We are the land of the free and home of the brave, but this policy shows our leaders to be cowards. Faced with the challenge of illegal immigration, they have resorted to ripping young children out of the arms of their parents. NOT IN MY NAME!
These families are desperately seeking a safer place to live. Using them as pawns in immigration law negotiations debases any remanence of America's standing as the "Leader of the Free World". This policy makes us monsters. NOT IN MY NAME!
Our taxpayer dollars are being used to keep these children incarcerated while their parents are deported back to the countries from which they came, making it increasingly difficult to be reunited. This is idiocy at its finest, with 2,000 young lives now caught up in the middle of it all. NOT IN MY NAME!
This policy is inhumane and immoral. I demand it be ceased and families be reunited immediately. Policies like this should be outlawed, and the officials who created or supported them should be removed from office. They are acting irresponsibly and neither in mine nor my country's best interests.
I sent this letter to the president, my senators, and congressman (contact information found at commoncause.org), plus the following agencies who are directly related to the policy of separating immigrant familes. I encourage you to do the same. Pease.

Anatomy, Autonomic Nervous System
Joshua Waxenbaum
Matthew Varacallo
The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) contain both afferent and efferent fibers that provide sensory input and motor output, respectively, to the central nervous system (CNS). Generally, the SNS and PNS motor pathways consist of a two-neuron series: a preganglionic neuron with a cell body in the CNS and a postganglionic neuron with a cell body in the periphery that innervates target tissues. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive, web-like structure that is capable of function independent of the remainder of the nervous system.[1][2] It contains over 100 million neurons of over 15 morphologies, greater than the sum of all other peripheral ganglia, and is chiefly responsible for the regulation of digestive processes.[3][4]
Activation of the SNS leads to a state of overall elevated activity and attention: the "fight or flight" response. In this process, blood pressure and heart rate increase, glycogenolysis ensues, gastrointestinal peristalsis ceases, etc.[5] The SNS innervates nearly every living tissue in the body. The PNS promotes the "rest and digest" processes; heart rate and blood pressure lower, gastrointestinal peristalsis/digestion restarts, etc.[5][6] The PNS innervates only the head, viscera and external genitalia, notably vacant in much of the musculoskeletal system and skin, making it significantly smaller than the SNS.[7] The ENS is composed of reflex pathways that control the digestive functions of muscle contraction/relaxation, secretion/absorption, and blood flow.[3]
Presynaptic neurons of both the SNS and PNS utilize acetylcholine (ACh) as their neurotransmitter. Postsynaptic sympathetic neurons generally produce norepinephrine (NE) as their effector transmitter to act upon target tissues, while postsynaptic parasympathetic neurons use ACh throughout.[1][5] Enteric neurons have been known to use several major neurotransmitters such as ACh, nitrous oxide and serotonin, to name a few.[8]
Sympathetic neurons have cell bodies located in the intermediolateral columns, or lateral horn, of the spinal cord. The presynaptic fibers exit the spinal cord through anterior roots and enter the anterior rami of T1-L2 spinal nerves and onto the sympathetic trunks via white rami communicantes. From here, the fibers may ascend or descend the sympathetic trunk to a superior or inferior paravertebral ganglion, respectively, pass to adjacent anterior spinal nerve rami via gray rami communicantes, or cross through the trunk without synapsing and continue through an abdominopelvic splanchnic nerve to reach prevertebral ganglia. Because of the central location of the sympathetic ganglia, presynaptic fibers tend to be shorter than their postsynaptic counterparts.[2][9]
Paravertebral ganglia exist as nodules throughout the sympathetic trunk, adjacent to the spinal column, where pre- and postganglionic neurons synapse. While the numbers may vary by individual, generally, there are three cervical, 12 thoracic, four lumbar, and five sacral ganglia. Of these, only the cervical have names of superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglia. The inferior cervical ganglion may fuse with the first thoracic ganglion to form the stellate ganglion.[2][9]
All nerves distal to the paravertebral ganglia are splanchnic nerves. These convey afferent and efferent fibers between the CNS and the viscera. Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves carry the postsynaptic fibers destined for the thoracic cavity.
Nerves that will innervate the abdominal and pelvic viscera pass through the paravertebral without synapsing, becoming abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves. These nerves include the greater, lesser, least, and lumbar splanchnic nerves. The presynaptic nerves finally synapse in prevertebral ganglia that are closer to their target organ. Prevertebral ganglia are part of the nervous plexuses that surround the branches of the aorta. These include the celiac, aorticorenal, and superior and inferior mesenteric ganglia. The celiac ganglion receives input from the greater splanchnic nerve, the aorticorenal from the lesser and least splanchnic nerves, and the superior and inferior mesenteric from the least and lumbar splanchnic nerves. The celiac ganglion innervates organs derived from the foregut: distal esophagus, stomach, proximal duodenum, pancreas, liver, biliary system, spleen, and adrenal glands. The superior mesenteric ganglion innervates the derivatives of the midgut: distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and proximal transverse colon. Lastly, the inferior mesenteric ganglion provides sympathetic innervation to the structures developed from the hindgut: distal transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon; rectum and upper anal canal; as well as the bladder, external genitalia, and gonads.[10][11][12] For more information, see the relevant StatPearls article, at this reference.[13]
The two-neuron general rule for SNS and PNS circuits has several notable exceptions. Sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons that synapse onto the ENS are functionally part of a three-or-more neuron chain. The presynaptic sympathetic fibers that are destined for the adrenal medulla pass through the celiac ganglia and synapse directly onto chromaffin cells. These unique cells function as postganglionic fibers that secrete epinephrine directly into the venous system.[1][2][14]
Postganglionic sympathetic neurons release NE that acts on adrenergic receptors in the target tissue. The subtype of the receptor, alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, or beta-3, and the tissues in which they express influences the affinity of NE for the receptor.[15] For more information, see the StatPearls articles related to adrenergic receptors, at the following references.[16][17][18]
As stated, the SNS enables the body to handle stressors via the "fight-or-flight" response. This reaction primarily regulates blood vessels. Vessels are tonically innervated, and in most cases, an increase in sympathetic signals leads to vasoconstriction and the opposite with vasodilation. The exceptions include coronary vessels and those that supply the skeletal muscles and external genitalia, for which the opposite reaction occurs.[2] This contradictory effect is mediated by the balance of alpha and beta receptor activity. In a physiologic state, beta-receptor stimulation increases coronary vessel dilation, but there is blunting of this effect by alpha-receptor-mediated vasoconstriction. In a pathologic state, such as in coronary artery disease, alpha-receptor activity is enhanced, and there is muting of beta-activity. Thus, the coronary arteries may constrict via sympathetic stimulation.[19] Sympathetic activation increases heart rate and contractile force., which, however, increases metabolic demand and is thus detrimental to cardiac function in compromised individuals.[20]
The SNS is constantly active, even in non-stressful situations. In addition to the aforementioned tonic stimulation of blood vessels, the SNS is active during the normal respiratory cycle. Sympathetic activation complements the PNS by acting during inspiration to dilate the airways allowing for an appropriate inflow of air.[2][21]
Additionally, the SNS regulates immunity through innervation of immune organs such as the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.[15][22] This influence may up- or down-regulate inflammation.[23] Cells of the adaptive immune system primarily express beta-2 receptors, while those of the innate immune system express those as well as alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenergic receptors.[15][24] Macrophages activate by alpha-2 stimulation and are suppressed by beta-2 adrenergic receptor activation.
The majority of postganglionic sympathetic neurons are noradrenergic, and also release one or more peptides such as neuropeptide Y or somatostatin. NE/neuropeptide Y neurons innervate blood vessels of the heart, thus regulating blood flow,[25] while NE/somatostatin neurons of the celiac and superior mesenteric ganglia supply the submucosal ganglia of the intestine and are involved in the control of gastrointestinal motility. The thinking is that these peptides serve to modulate the response of the postsynaptic neuron to the primary neurotransmitter.[1]
Peptides also have associations with cholinergic sympathetic postganglionic neurons. These neurons are most commonly found innervating sweat glands and precapillary resistance vessels in skeletal muscle and produce vasoactive intestinal polypeptide along with ACh. Calcitonin gene-related peptide, a potent vasodilator, has also been discovered in paravertebral sympathetic neurons.[26][27][28][29]
Parasympathetic fibers exit the CNS via cranial nerves (CN) III, VII, IX, and X, as well as through the S2-4 nerve roots. There are four pairs of parasympathetic ganglia, and they are all located in the head. CN III, via the ciliary ganglion, innervates the iris and ciliary muscles of the eye. CN VII innervates the lacrimal, nasal, palatine, and pharyngeal glands via the pterygopalatine ganglion, as well as the sublingual and submandibular glands via the submandibular ganglion. CN IX innervates the parotid glands via the otic ganglion.[4] Every other presynaptic parasympathetic fiber synapses in a ganglion near or on the wall of the target tissue; this leads to the presynaptic fibers being significantly longer than the postsynaptic. The location of these ganglia gives the PNS its name: "para-" means adjacent to, hence, "parasympathetic."[2]
The vagus nerve, CN X, makes up about 75% of the PNS and provides parasympathetic input to most of the thoracic and abdominal viscera, with the sacral parasympathetic fibers innervating the descending and sigmoid colon and rectum. The vagus nerve has four cell bodies in the medulla oblongata. These include the following[2][4][30][31]:
Dorsal nucleus: provides parasympathetic output to the viscera
Nucleus ambiguus: produces motor fibers and preganglionic neurons that innervate the heart
Nucleus solitarius: receives afferents of taste sensation and that from viscera; and lastly
Spinal trigeminal nucleus: receives information of touch, pain, and temperature of the outer ear, the mucosa of the larynx, and part of the dura
Additionally, the vagus nerve conducts sensory information from baroreceptors of the carotid sinus and the aortic arch to the medulla.[32]
As mentioned in the introduction, the vagus nerve is responsible for the "rest and digest" processes. The vagus nerve promotes cardiac relaxation in several aspects of function. It decreases contractility in the atria and less-so in the ventricles. Primarily, it reduces conduction speed through the atrioventricular node. It is by this mechanism that carotid sinus massage acts to limit reentry in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.[2] The other key function of the PNS centers around digestion. Parasympathetic fibers to the head promote salivation, while those that synapse onto the ENS lead to increased peristaltic and secretory activity.[4][33] The vagus nerve also has a significant effect on the respiratory cycle. In a nonpathologic state, parasympathetic nerves fire during expiration, contracting and stiffening airways to prevent collapse. This function has implicated the PNS in the onset of postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome.[2][21]
Due to the expansive nature of the vagus nerve, it has been described as an ideal "early warning system" for foreign invaders as well as for monitoring the body's recovery. Up to 80% of vagal fibers are sensory and innervate nearly all major organs. Parasympathetic ganglia have been found to express receptors for interleukin-1, a key cytokine in the inflammatory immune response.[34] This, in turn, activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and SNS, leading to the release of glucocorticoids and NE, respectively.[2] Studies have correlated inhibited vagal action through vagotomy and cholinergic inhibitors with significantly reduced, if not eliminated, allergic, asthmatic, and inflammatory responses.[7]
Postganglionic parasympathetic neurons release ACh that acts on muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, each with various subunits: M1, M2, and M3, and N1 and N2, with "M" and "N" standing for muscarine and nicotine, respectively.[5] The postganglionic ACh receptors and those on the adrenal medulla are N-type, while the parasympathetic effectors and sweat glands are M-type.[2] As in sympathetic neurons, several peptides, such as VIP, NPY, and CGRP are expressed in, and released from, parasympathetic neurons.[27][28][35][36] For more information, see the StatPearls article on cholinergic receptors, here.[37]
Enteric Nervous System
The ENS is composed of two ganglionated plexuses: the myenteric (Auerbach) and the submucosal (Meissner). The myenteric plexus sits in between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle of the GI tract, while the submucosal plexus is present within the submucosa. The ENS is self-contained, functioning through local reflex activity, but often receives input from, and provides feedback to, the SNS and PNS. The ENS may receive input from postganglionic sympathetic neurons, or preganglionic parasympathetic neurons.[1][38]
The submucosal plexus governs the movement of water and electrolytes across the intestinal wall, while the myenteric plexus coordinates the contractility of the circular and longitudinal muscles cells of the gut to produce peristalsis.[39]
Motility is produced in the ENS through a reflex circuit involving the circular and longitudinal muscles. Nicotinic synapses between interneurons mediate the reflex circuits.[39] When the circuit activates by the presence of a bolus, excitatory neurons in the circular muscle and inhibitory neurons in the longitudinal muscle fire producing a narrow section of bowel proximal to the bolus; this is known as the propulsive segment. Simultaneously, excitatory neurons in the longitudinal muscle and inhibitory neurons in the circular muscle fire producing the "receiving segment" of the bowel in which the bolus will continue. This process repeats with each subsequent section of the bowel.[40]
The ENS maintains several similarities to the CNS. As in the CNS, enteric neurons can be bipolar, pseudounipolar, and multipolar, between which neuromodulation via excitatory and inhibitory communication.[1] Likewise, ENS neurons use over 30 neurotransmitters that are similar to those of the CNS, with cholinergic and nitrergic transmitters being the most common.[39]
While much of this discussion has focused on the efferent functions of the ANS, the afferent fibers are responsible for numerous reflex activities that regulate everything from heart rate to the immune system. Feedback from the ANS is usually processed at a subconscious level to produce reflex actions in the visceral or somatic portions of the body. The conscious sensation of the viscera is often interpreted as diffuse pain or cramps that may correlate with hunger, fullness, or nausea. These sensations most commonly result from sudden distention/contractions, chemical irritants, or pathological conditions such as ischemia.[41]
The peripheral nervous system derives from neural crest cells. The neural crest is divided axially into the cranial, vagal, truncal, and lumbosacral neural crest cells. Truncal neural crest cells contribute to the dorsal root of the spinal cord and the sympathetic ganglia. The parasympathetic innervation of the heart forms from the vagal neural crest.[42] The majority of the parasympathetic nervous system, including all of the ganglia of the head, has been shown to arise from glial cells, rather than neural crest cells.[42][43]
The ENS originates from the vagal neural crest with cells that migrate in a rostral-to-caudal pattern through the intestinal wall, forming a network of glia and neurons of various subtypes.[3][39][44] Cells of the ENS complete their migration by four to seven weeks of development and express all varieties of ENS neurotransmitters by gestational week 24. However, mature gut motility is not realized until at least late gestation to shortly after birth.[45]
Horner syndrome is a mild, rare condition often presenting with unilateral ptosis, miotic, but a reactive pupil, and facial anhidrosis secondary to sympathetic nerve damage in the oculosympathetic pathway.[46] This damage may have a central cause such as infarction of the lateral medulla, or peripheral such as from damage secondary to thoracic surgery or from partial/total resection of the thyroid gland.[46][47] More centralized lesions tend to correlate with a constellation of symptoms that include Horner syndrome.[46] For more information, please see the associated StatPearls articles, here.[48][49]
Hyperhidrosis is a common disease characterized by excessive sweating, primarily of the face, palms, soles, and/or axilla. While the cause of primary hyperhidrosis is not fully understood, it has been attributed to increased cholinergic stimulation. Treatment can be either clinical or surgical.[50] Treatment on the clinical side centers on anticholinergic agents such as topical glycopyrrolate or oral oxybutynin, or less commonly, alpha-adrenergic agonists such as clonidine, calcium channel blockers, or gabapentin.[50][51] The most common and permanent surgical technique is the resection, ablation, or clipping of the thoracic sympathetic chain. While permanent, the procedure may lead to compensatory hyperhidrosis in a small number of individuals. These hyperhidrosis symptoms are the same if not more severe than prior to the procedure due to possible overcompensation by the hypothalamus. Research has demonstrated that surgical reconstruction of the sympathetic chain can reduce this compensatory response.[52]
Due to the extensive nature of the autonomic nervous system, it can be affected by a wide range of conditions. Some of these include[53][54][55]
Fabry disease
Hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy
Porphyrias
Uremic neuropathy/chronic liver diseases
Toxin/drug-induced: alcohol, amiodarone, chemotherapy
Infections: Botulism, Chagas disease, HIV, leprosy, Lyme disease, tetanus
Autoimmune: Guillain-Barre, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren, systemic lupus erythematosus
Neurological: multiple system atrophy/Shy-Drager syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia
Neoplasia: Brain tumors, paraneoplastic syndromes
Likewise, autonomic neuropathy can present in nearly any system. Orthostatic hypotension is the most common autonomic dysautonomia, but numerous other, less understood, findings may present[53]
Fixed heart rate
Postural hypotension
Resting tachycardia
Gastroparesis; nausea, vomiting, abdominal fullness
Bladder atony
Pupillary
Absent/delayed light reflexes
Decreased pupil size
Retrograde ejaculation
Sudomotor
Gustatory sweating
Vasomotor
Cold extremities (due to loss of vasomotor responses)
Edema (due to loss of vasomotor tone and increased vascular permeability)
The most prevalent symptoms of orthostatic hypotension are lightheadedness, tunnel vision, and discomfort in the head, neck, or chest. It may present concomitantly with supine hypertension due to increased peripheral resistance, which induces natriuresis, exacerbating orthostatic hypotension. There are numerous other, more benign stimuli that may either lower blood pressure (standing, food, Valsalva, dehydration, exercise, hyperventilation, etc.) or raise blood pressure (lying supine, water ingestion, coffee, head-down tilt, hypoventilation, etc.).[53]
Orthostatic hypotension evaluation is commonly through orthostatic testing via repeated blood pressure and heart rate readings in supine and standing positions, but also through the use of the tilt-table test. However, the advantage of this latter test is minimal over the orthostatic test, with the main benefit being safety and convenience to the patient.[53]
Patients with dysautonomia are prone to hypotension during anesthesia[56]. This issue may be appropriately managed with low doses of phenylephrine, an alpha-1 agonist. Likewise, supine hypertension may be controlled with transdermal or IV nitrates.[53][57][58]
The sympathetic nervous system is well known to play a role in nociception. There are suggestions that the ANS has a regulatory inhibitory effect on pain, the loss of which creates a positive feedback circuit leading to hyperexcitability of nociceptive nerve fibers. The fact that the effect of sympathetic blocks often persists beyond the duration of the anesthetic agents administered supports this hypothesis.[59] Local sympathetic nerve blocks have been used to treat a variety of less-common pain conditions including complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, and herpetic pain. Likewise, visceral pain is treatable through a more central approach through a celiac plexus block. Due to the wide array of functions performed by the ANS, blocks are reserved for intractable pain, uncontrolled by more conventional analgesics.[59] See the related StatPearls articles for more information, here.[60][61][62]
Most conditions related to the ENS are congenital in origin and present during early childhood.[44] Enteric neurons function to relax intestinal smooth muscle. Their absence leaves the bowel tonically contracted, obstructing the bowel. Presenting complaints often consist of gastroesophageal reflux, dyspeptic syndromes, constipation, chronic abdominal pain, and irritable bowel syndrome. A notable life-threatening disorder of the ENS is Hirschsprung disease. This condition is a failure of embryologic ENS cells to colonize the distal bowel. When the ENS is missing (aganglionosis) or maldeveloped, children experience early constipation, vomiting, eventual growth failure, and possible death.[3][44] Studies have identified six genes in a causal relationship with Hirschsprung disease.[44] Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder that predisposes an individual to Hirschsprung disease despite the fact that no genes related to ENS development have been identified on chromosome 21.[3]

the emblem plain blue, labelled "I am Korean, this is my flag".
The messages stirred angry reactions among the fans of M.I.B, who fear that these disrespectful statements damage the image of the band. Young Cream first rejected the comments, claiming that they had been made by "unfair fans"; he eventually apologized after the wider distribution of his message.


Increasing complexity of space-based applications for civil and defense purposes will also in future require large structures, while at the same time the demand for lower costs of transportation inevitably leads to smaller units also. Large deployable structures will become for some applications the strategic key to space-technology to solve this dilemma.
On the level of subsystems in Europe, HPS has very early raised the claim for leadership in this field; with focus on scalability, modularity, storage space, mass and – last, not least – price. HPS Germany has concentrated on antennas, arms, metallic mesh and drag-sails, HPS Portugal on deployable masts.
The HPS-offer covers each and every application in the field of antennas (earth observation, telecommunications, science and military) as well as for deployable sails (from de-orbiting of smaller and medium sized satellites up to "solar sailing" to far planets). Yet another basis for its solid leadership is HPS' very tight cooperation with experienced European SME as well as with the universities and institutes of the German space agency DLR.
As flagship project, HPS is leading a consortium of 15 partners developing a 6 m proto-flight model (PFM) of a large deployable reflector subsystem (reflector, arm, HDRMs), called LEA (Large European Antenna).

Spirits such as tequila and whiskey can be a powerful way to add depth and flavor to winter's rich sauces, dishes and desserts.
"I like to drink spirits, so taking that and moving that into the food world makes it exciting," says Tim Love, chef and owner of Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, Woodshed Smokehouse and Love Shack in Fort Worth and Queenie's Steakhouse in Denton, Texas.
For starters, Mr. Love never cooks with vodka. "It's really pointless to use; it has no flavor," he says. He rarely cooks with gin because it has the opposite problem of being too flavorful. "Gin has so many flavor notes to it, which are fun, but it's really tough on food because it's got so much flavor on its own," he says.
One thing to remember about using spirits in marinades: "Most spirits have a very high acid content and anytime you add acid to meat, it starts to cook the meat," says Mr. Love. He doesn't leave his meats in a spirit-inflected marinade for more than an hour. "It starts to break the meat down too much and you start to get a mealy texture to it," he says. He suggests no more than 15 minutes for fish.
Sometimes, Mr. Love uses bourbon in smoking. He'll roast a pork shoulder while it's in "a pool of Maker's Mark and Coke. … You get nice caramel notes from the Coca-Cola and bourbon," he says.
Spirits with slightly bitter notes can work well with fatty meats, says Mr. Love, who likes to work Aperol into the sauce for seared foie gras or elk sausage, for example. "The bitterness is to combat the super fatty foie—you need something to cut that," he adds.
Having underage guests at the dinner table shouldn't be a deterrent, Mr. Love says. "There's not enough booze in anything to really hurt someone," he says.
What he does refrain from, however, is using spirits in too many courses. "Unless the dinner is completely about a certain spirit, then use it as a surprise," says Mr. Love.

Rodarte's Aboriginal Prints Called 'Offensive' By Australian Leader
Jenna Sauers
Controversy has erupted over the references to aboriginal art in Rodarte's fall collection. Megan Davis, an aboriginal law professor and an expert member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, says that she finds the collection offensive. "The thought of seeing women walking around in this particular ready-to-wear collection sickens me," says Davis. "Because it is my culture and it is where I come from. I appreciate that we live in a postmodern culture, where people do take inspiration from particular areas and it is a complex area of law. But as an Aboriginal lawyer I found the designs offensive." Davis says the use of sacred art works as fabric prints "is completely insensitive to Aboriginal art and spirituality and land and how they are inextricably linked." Australia's indigenous peoples practice the world's oldest living art tradition, and the paintings that Rodarte used as textile prints describe "a clan's songlines, story, life and very essence, with responsibilities and reciprocal obligations to land and kin." The issue of fashion's appropriation of indigenous people's art and culture has been brought to the fore most recently by the Navajo Nation, which is suing Urban Outfitters for marketing over 20 items as "Navajo" when they were not, in fact, Navajo-made — including some especially insensitive things, like a hip flask and women's underwear. [Frockwriter]
After stalling for some four days, Rodarte released a brief statement saying they had licensed the prints in question "through the appropriate channels." The company says, "As a result, the artists will share in proceeds of the pieces inspired by their work." [Fashionista]
Apparently, there was only one aboriginal artist whose work was used: the late Benny Tjangala. "The widow of artist Benny Tjangala will see this use of his artworks quite differently to the professor," says Anthony Wallis of the Aboriginal Artists' Agency, which did in fact arrange for the license. "She will appreciate the royalty flow over the next 12 months!" It strikes us that Davis' comments were fair, given that Rodarte was forthcoming about neither the fact that it licensed the prints, nor the individual artist's name. That reticence leaves the unfortunate impression that while Rodarte was happy to pay to use another artist's works, the brand was less keen to share the credit. A simple mention in the show notes might have avoided this whole thing — and led to fewer cringe-inducing fashion reviews erroneously crediting generic "Outback influences" (thanks, Robin Givhan — but this isn't a steakhouse) as the inspiration for the collection. [Aboriginal Art News]
This Zoo York ad featuring Kate Upton working out to a commentary track from the brand's signature cockroaches has been banned from T.V. for being too racy. Apparently a curvaceous woman exercising in leggings, a sports bra, and an unzipped windbreaker is "racy" now? We're familiar with the well-worn publicity stunt that is the purposefully un-broadcast-able "too hot for T.V." ad, but this actually seems like a real ad that somehow ran afoul of Standards and Practices. This is the "uncensored" version — the T.V. edit would have bleeped out the cockroach profanity at the end — but even the censored version was rejected by Adult Swim (!) and MTV for an alleged "erect nipple." Ladies, never forget that your nipples are too hot for Adult Swim. [NYDN]
Anais Gallagher, daughter of Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews, had her first model test shoot. She blew bubbles at the camera. Anais Gallagher is still 11 years old. [Vogue UK]
Grace Coddington doesn't have much time for the notion that fashion's reliance on a vast pool of (mostly unpaid) intern labor is problematic. "They're there to learn and observe. I think there are a lot of interns that feel very entitled. They think we owe them something. Good ones come through though. You really notice them," says the stylist. "I'm sure they are somewhat abused and we do send them out to get an awful lot of cups of coffee, but they're learning all the time." [The Cut]
Adam Levine knows that "there's a stigma attached" to having a celebrity fragrance. "A stigma that I fully understand because I, too, hate the idea of a celebrity fragrance, absolutely, 100 percent." He hates it so much that he has to have a celebrity fragrance of his own — to save the genre from its crushing mediocrity! "I kind of thought to myself, 'Well I'm interested in fashion and there's a lot of things about it that could be really cool if done properly. So I want to do a thing that's never done properly. That's my goal." Also, money. [People]
Estée Lauder just got a new face: runway model (and favorite of Anna Wintour) Arizona Muse. Muse joins Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy, Hilary Rhoda, Constance Jablonski, Liu Wen and Joan Smalls as fellow spokesmodels for the brand. Muse hasn't yet shot for the company, but her first ads are expected later this year. [WWD]
L'Wren Scott says being 6'3" was no picnic growing up. "I was that kid who couldn't find anything to wear. All the cool kids would have jeans the right length and I would just think 'what am I going to do?'" Buying a second pair of jeans to cut the bottoms off and sew onto the hems of the first proved a more or less workable solution, albeit one that depended on the goodwill of her mother's purse. [Vogue UK]
Five novelists — including Karen Russell, Alex Gilvarry, and Heidi Julavits — wrote flash fiction inspired by street style photographs for Vogue. Of course. Russell's story takes a photo of a Pomeranian in a handbag and imagines a robo-fashionista masterminded by the pooch. Well played. [Vogue.com]
Net-A-Porter just announced a big hire: Lucy Yeomans, the longtime editor of U.K. Harper's Bazaar, will join the company in the newly created position of editor-in-chief. [WWD]
More women are apparently wearing bright, matte lipstick — picking a signature color, if you will. This is apparently because of the J. Crew catalog. [WSJ]
There's buzz that Abercrombie & Fitch, which still hasn't recovered from an extended period of very poor sales during the recession, might be bought out by a private-equity firm. [WWD]
Hungarian Vanessa Axente, whose international career seems poised to take off now that she did looks for Prada and opened the show, has been modeling in Japan and Singapore since the age of 14. [The Cut]
Donald Trump is preparing to launch a second signature fragrance for men, called Success by Trump. "It's funny, I'm the only one who will sell a $50 million apartment and also sell a tie," says the mogul, frequently licensed name, and presidential-candidate impersonator. "You know, it's all the same thing when you think about it." Trump's last fragrance, launched nearly a decade ago, sold very poorly. [WWD]
Ralph Lauren is launching a collection of Pony-branded fragrances for women. [WWD]
Qatar Holdings, the company that owns Harrods department store in London, has acquired a 1.03% stake in Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. [WWD]
Salvatore Ferragamo reported a 69% increase in its annual profits for 2011, the year it went public. [WWD]
And now, a moment with Simon Doonan. Simon, what do you hate in fashion?
"I don't hate anything in fashion. Everything is okay as long as you do it with enough conviction. Hating on stuff is what causes mediocrity and conformism. It makes people nervous and cautious and they start reining in their flamboyant impulses. So you could say 'I hate hating.'"
[Refinery29]

sunset at Robert Moses Beach in October 2000
The Deer Park of our youth was something special and unique. Many of us remember those days like they were yesterday and find it hard to believe all those years have passed since we left those sacred grounds one at a time to go out and face the real world on our own. We used to see friends every day. Then college or work slowly started to pull us in new directions, and we started to see everyone less often. Many of us moved more than once, settling in other states. As we took on more and more adult responsibilities, we all had less time to hang out. As the years went by, a lot of us lost touch with our old friends. Time seems to have passed in a flash. Remember when summers seemed to last forever! What happened to all that, and us?
Thankfully the web has provided us with some opportunities to reconnect, if only once in a while, with our past. Things like cruising aimlessly up and down Deer Park Ave, grabbing a few cold ones, spending our hot summer days at Robert Moses, Gilgo or Cedar beach and going into bars such as the OBI, Cheers, Colonial Pub, Hammerheads, Reflections, Kozy Kabin, and The Nite Owl(all gone) and The Finish Line & Uneeda Rest (still there) at night. Hanging out on moonlit beaches with bonfires going till dawn, sleeping late and never worrying too much about adult responsibilities. We were not going to live life like our parents did... or so we thought!
A lot of things have changed since those glory days. Many of the businesses are gone or changed, some local landmarks are gone, and several have moved around. A lot of the shopping centers recieved facelifts and new stores. And yet some things remain relatively unchanged. The schools look better now, they landscaped and refaced most of the exteriors. And although Deer Park is one of the most densely populated areas on Long Island, a great effort was successfully made to preserve about 850 acres of rare Oak Brush plain ecosystem at the Edgewood/Oak brush plains preserve site on Comac Road, where there are over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails. Free permits are available for hiking, biking, bird watching, etc. for all of the LI state DEC preserves, and there are never any parking fees. The old mysterious landmark "bridge to nowhere" on Commack road in Dix Hills was sadly demolished in 2009 but may rebuilt someday since it connects hiking and bike trails leading from Otsego Park to the preserve and could become a vital link in the regional trail system leading to the Motor Parkway trail that will be built in Nassau County. Another area worthy of preservation and clean up is the brook that runs behind Birchwood field, known as Sampawam's creek. This could be a nice greenbelt if it was managed right, and could link to the bay. The wetlands running from Gieger Lake to Belmont also have great potential.
There is little land left for residential or commercial development. The old Deer Park racetrack has been developed into homes. Remember the Deer Park airport? The movie theatres? How about the nearby drive in movies? Friendlies? Arby's? The beer distributor? The strawberry picking farms in Dix Hills? All are gone. The LIRR is electrified now and the Deer Park station was moved east to the Brentwood border, where the ancient Edgewood station once stood until 1920. There is a 24 hour golf course adjacent to it. AIL merged with EDO and later closed the Deer Park plant. It was subsequently demolished to make way for ... you guessed it another (Tanger) mall which opened in OCTOBER 2008. At least they had a great free concert with Cheap Trick and playing for an hour. A Home Depot, Stop and Shop, and a Kohls opened a few years earlier at the same spot. Park Place (formerly DK's) closed and was replaced by a bank. A Strohemann's bakery distribution center was built behind the new TANGER site facility on the old AIL ballfields. Another big and brand new shopping center has risen from the ruins of the OTB/Finish Line center and some stores opened in 2009. On Deer Park Ave., Meyer's Drugstore has been replaced by a Walgreens. The bike shop went out of business. St Cyril's Church was expanded, Nathan's replaced Arby's, Sizzler became a Boston Market, Jack's became a Checkers. The Taco Bell near the high school was recently torn down, only to be replaced with a bigger, better Taco bell. The Suffolk Jewish Center on the west side was sold and is now some kind of evangelical Gospel church. Memorial-Sloan Kettering hospital opened a new outpatient facility on Comac road just north of the Comac multiplex theatres. Waldbaums and all the old stores next to it were knocked down and rebuilt-expanded and changed to Shop Rite. Expo closed up in Commack and is also a Shop Rite. Another new center including a Home Depot and Wal Mart opened nearby on Crooked Hill Road/
The DP public pools were rebuilt a few years back and actually look smaller. The Deer Park Fire dept. now has a substation, training facility and really nice soccer and baseball fields at Comac and Nicoll's Rd in what used to be a Babylone Town highway yard. The DP bowling alley was renovated and looks great. Belmont Lake is still a great place for a bike ride, barbeque, or paddle boat/canoe trip. Robert Moses, Gilgo and Jones Beaches are still the best anywhere and the water has been clean for the last few years. The land including the OBI was purchased by Suffolk county in a complicated deal allowing the former owners to make a nice profit. The south bound causeway bridge was completely rebuilt recently, and the northbound side only patched up for now. When the next major overhaul takes place in a few years, it should have a bike and walking path added at least as far south as the ocean parkway. If you have not been to the beaches and parks in a while, make sure to visit them soon. The NY empire pass is still a good deal for frequent visitors, $70 gets you in all year to any state park or beach as often as you wish.
Other new things on LI include a new minor league baseball team, the LI Ducks, who play at a new stadium in Central Islip near NY Institute Of Technology, and another minor league team at Coney Island called the Cyclones began playing to a packed house at the new Keyspan park stadium. A huge new 11 floor Federal court complex also opened in Islip. An aquarium opened in downtown Riverhead and another is planned for Bayshore or perhaps Pilgrim. The historic Fire Island Light was re-lit and completely renovated. Fairchild Republic is gone, replaced by a mall. But Republic airport is doing well, as is Islip, where Southwest is now the main airline. Grumman is really small now, it's sad because they built not only the A-6 and F-14 but also the lunar excursion modules which landed on the moon, the wings for the space shuttle and parts of the Boeing 747. Most of their plants are gone forever, sold for industrial and office development. An aviation museum is being developed at Mitchell Field. Gardiner Manor mall in Bay shore was demolished, and replaced by a Target, a bookstore, and Stern's (formerly Gertz) was taken down and replaced by a Lowes. "Outlet malls" and "Big Box" retail stores are popping up everywhere. But the overall economy is no longer booming on LI and real estate prices are slipping nationwide.
Nissequoque River State Park opened in Kings Park, and was expanded to include all of the old Kings Park Psychiatric center, The Paumanouk hiking trail is now continuous from Rocky Point to Southhampton, where it disappears for a bit, and reappears at the border of East Hampton all the way to Montauk Pt. We finally are getting some new bike trails on land owned by NYSDOT that was originally aquired for the Bethpage State parkway extension. Another one will run along the entire Ocean Parkway and over the northbound twin causeway bridge. It is finally under construction! The Wantagh parkway trail will be rebuilt and hopefully be linked to a new trail along the old LI Motor parkway in Nassau, it's already being planned within Bethpage state park. A new trail now connects the Fire Island Lighthouse to Field 5 at Robert Moses, and the rebuilt southbound causeway bridge is open. A new proposal calls for Rt 347 to be redeveloped, with 3 lanes, a few new bridges and a bike path.
Over 38,000 acres of the Pine Barrens have now been acquired by Suffolk County and New York State, protecting the globally rare ecosystem. The forests are recovering well from the big fires of 1995. You can still get far away enough from developed areas while hiking or biking to where it is totally silent. Another new state park, known as Shadmoor, opened in the Montauk dunes, near Camp Hero, which incidently is REALLY cool and is also open to the public. You can also take a tour at Montauk Point to see the seals during the winter and early spring. Call 631-668-3781 for details. There is another almost secret state park known as Jamesport State park... ask me for details on how to find this one. Anyone even remotely interested in supporting any of the bikepath projects should visit the The LI Motorparkway site for more info and let local leaders know of your support!
NYPA recently built a 44 MW power station near Pilgrim hospital. LIPA later added ANOTHER powerplant adjacent to it that would brought the total output up to about 120 MW. They avoided an environmental impact statement by building 3 small plants instead of one large one. Heartland is slowly progressing on it's proposed major redevelopment of Pilgrim. There is also a very poorly thought out NYDOT plan to build a trucking and rail transfer facility at Pilgrim too. This could cause more pollution, noise, and traffic around Deer Park and Dix Hills as well as Brentwood. I was successful in stopping a new access road from the proposed site to Commack road right through the Edgewood preserve. But the overall fight to kill the project still goes on. The booming housing market on LI has slowed a bit now, but so have purchases of open space... still the threat of paving over woodlands and farms exists. This is especially true on the east end of LI. Many farming and heavily wooded areas have homes being built even now in spite of the decline in the market.

This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of Confucius Institutes (CIs), situating them as a tool of public diplomacy in the broader context of China's foreign affairs.
The study establishes the concept of public diplomacy as the theoretical framework for analyzing CIs. By applying this frame to in-depth case studies of CIs in Europe and Oceania, it provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and organization of CIs, their activities, and audiences, as well as problems, challenges, and potentials. In addition to examining CIs as the most prominent and most controversial tool of China's charm offensive, this book also explains what the structural configuration of these institutes can tell us about China's understanding of and approaches towards public diplomacy. The study demonstrates that, in contrast to their international counterparts, CIs are normally organized as joint ventures between international and Chinese partners in the field of education or cultural exchange. From this unique setting, a more fundamental observation can be made, namely China's willingness to engage and cooperate with foreigners in the context of public diplomacy. Overall, the author argues that by utilizing the current global fascination with Chinese language and culture, the Chinese government has found interested and willing international partners to co-finance the CIs and thus partially fund China's international charm offensive.
This book will be of much interest to students of public diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and international relations in general.

Preserved British Steam Locomotives
5542 was built at Swindon in 1928 at a cost of £3,602 and allocated to Gloucester Horton Road. Over the next 33 years it spent time at Bristol, Taunton (where it spent most time), Newton Abbot and Westbury where it spent the last two years of its service before being withdrawn in 1961 having run for 987,429 miles. During its working life it had used 6 boilers of which the last was built in 1943 and had previously been used on 4558, 5551 and 5501 before being fitted to 5542 in 1958 during a heavy overhaul.
Whilst at Taunton 5542 worked all four branches that once radiated from there. It had a tablet exchange apparatus fitted which allowed for faster trains on longer branches, particularly useful on the Yeovil, Barnstaple and Minehead branches.
It was sold to Woodham Brothers for scrap.
After 14 years in Barry it was sold to the West Somerset Railway Association in 1976. In 1979, a cash strapped West Somerset Railway Company, which had loaned much of the finance for the original purchase required repayment thereby forcing the sale of 5542 and 5521. Members of the Dean Forest Railway bought 5521 and a Taunton based group of active W.S.R. supporters formed the 5542 Fund to save and restore it for use on the West Somerset Railway.
Subsequently a limited company was formed with an authorised share capital of £100,000.
The 5542 Fund then continued as a support and fund raising body.
The locomotive was returned to steam on the West Somerset Railway in 2002 to operate on a line that it worked on regularly in its earlier life.
5542 was used on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway for some BBC filming for the series "The Land Girls" in July 2009.
An overhaul of 5542s boiler began in October 2011 and resulted in 5542 running again in May 2012.
The locomotive which is owned by 5542 Ltd is currently operational on the South Devon Railway with a boiler certificate that expires in March 2022.
In August 2019 it was revealed that the locomotive would be maintained by the South Devon Railway for the next 30 years under a long term lease agreement between the line and the owners (5542 Ltd).
The locomotive will operate on the East Somerset Railway until the end of 2020.

CENTCOM: Three senior Islamic State foreign fighters killed
By Thomas Joscelyn | May 26, 2017 | [email protected] | @thomasjoscelyn
Teen-aged jihadists attending the "Cubs of the Caliphate" program in Afghanistan. Abu Asim al-Jazaeri, who was killed in Syria on May 11, was a trainer in the same program.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced today that "three senior foreign fighters" in the Islamic State were killed near the Iraqi-Syrian border in recent weeks. Two of them, Mustafa Gunes and Abu Asim al-Jazaeri, were allegedly involved in planning attacks abroad. And the third, Abu-Khattab al-Rawi, helped oversee the jihadists' drone program in western Iraq.
Both Gunes and al-Jazaeri were struck down near the city of Mayadin in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ezzor. The Islamic State has moved some of its leadership to Mayadin as it has lost ground elsewhere.
According to the US military, both Gunes and al-Jazaeri were part of the Islamic State's "external operations" — that is, terrorist plotting outside of the jihadists' battlefields — when they were bombed. Gunes was killed on Apr. 27, while al-Jazaeri perished in a separate airstrike on May 11.
CENTCOM describes Gunes as "a Syria-based ISIS external operations facilitator from Turkey," who "was identified as an ISIS recruiter in the central Turkish city of Konya." Gunes "was linked to facilitating financial support for planning attacks outside Syria and Iraq against the West."
Jihadist networks have long operated in Turkey's Konya province. An al Qaeda facilitator who was killed in Idlib, Syria last year, and who was also reportedly plotting against the West, had operated in Konya in the past.
Al-Jazaeri, a French-Algerian, was an "ISIS external operations planner" as well. CENTCOM says al-Jazaeri "was involved in training a new generation of ISIS youths, called the Cubs of the Caliphate, a high priority training program sanctioned by ISIS leadership."
The Islamic State has advertised its "Cubs of the Caliphate" training initiative. The effort is not confined to Iraq and Syria. It has been extended to the so-called caliphate's "provinces." For instance, in early 2016, the Islamic State's Wilayah Khorasan (or Khorasan province) released a video of boys and adolescents being trained on light arms. The group's "Cubs of the Caliphate Camp" was likely located somewhere in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province, where the Wilayah Khorasan established its base of operations. [See FDD's Long War Journal report, Islamic State joins others in training children for jihad in Afghanistan.]
It is not clear from CENTCOM's statement if al-Jazaeri was involved in the "Cubs of the Caliphate" program solely in Iraq and Syria, or elsewhere around the world as well.
The US has pointed to the role Islamic State leaders play in indoctrinating children after previous targeted killings. In March, a propagandist known as Ibrahim al-Ansari was killed in an airstrike in Al-Qa'im, which is located in Iraq's Al Anbar province. US military officials said at the time that Al-Ansari was responsible for "the brainwashing of young children to perpetuate ISIS's brutal message." [See FDD's Long War Journal report, Islamic State propagandist was 'brainwashing' children, US military says.]
Mustafa Gunes and Abu Asim al-Jazaeri are not the only senior jihadists targeted in eastern Syria this year. In early April, a "close associate" of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi known as Abdurakhmon Uzbeki was also killed in a special operations raid near Mayadin. The US said Uzbeki "played a key role" in the group's "external terror attack plotting" and linked him to the New Year's Eve massacre at the Reina nightclub in Istanbul, Turkey. [See FDD's Long War Journal report, US: Abu Bakr al Baghdadi's 'close associate' killed in special operations raid.]
The third Islamic State figure recently killed is Abu-Khattab al-Rawi. According to CENTCOM, al-Rawi was "a senior ISIS military official" and he died during "an operation near" Al-Qa'im on May 18. Al-Rawi was "killed along with three other terrorists." He "was responsible for coordinating UAV operations and procurement in Al Anbar Province" and "provided direct support to ISIS leadership." The Islamic State's jihadists have relied on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, to drop small bombs and perform surveillance on their enemies. The group's propaganda arms also utilize drones for overhead footage that is intended to dramatize the impact of suicide bombings and other operations.
The Islamic State released a photo of a "martyr" who used the same alias as Abu-Khattab al-Rawi on May 20. The group described him as a "media brother," meaning he worked on propaganda. It is not clear if it was the same individual who was killed days earlier in Al-Qa'im.
CENTCOM claims the "deaths of these men" — Gunes, al-Jazaeri, and al-Rawi — "eliminates senior foreign fighters, who had extensive experience and training, and degrades ISIS's ability to plan and conduct attacks on civilian targets in Iraq and Syria, as well throughout the region and in the West."

Some day , soon I hope. We will come to the conclusion that we MUST fight on our enemies terms. Not some liberal ideology that claims we are above the fray. Not making our war fighters call in to ask if it's ok to shoot now, or should we wait until half the platoon is laying in their own guts and blood. The days of thinking that we're" adding fuel to the fire" are SO LONG GONE. Like the report that said if we pulled out, their would be no need for the Taliban,…did that general EVER get his come-uppence? None of our enemies ever used that idea,NONE! Rules of engagement are nothing more than tying our soldiers hands behind their backs. WAR IS WAR, have we not learned that yet? Liberals in this government have our sons and daughters blood on their hands! SHAME ON YOU ALL !

Everbright International secures Jiangsu Huaiyin waste to energy concession
Subscribe to our newsletter and get the latest news and business opportunities in your inbox
China Everbright International Limited has secured the Jiangsu Huaiyin Urban-Rural Integration Project in Jiangsu Province, China
To be more specific, the company has signed a concession agreement for a waste-to-energy project and an investment agreement for a biomass power generation project with the People's Government of Huaiyin District of Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province.
The group will invest in the construction of an urban-rural integration project in Huaiyin District, which comprises a household waste-to-energy project, the Huaiyin Waste-to-energy project, and a biomass power generation project, the Huaiyin Biomass Power Generation project.
Huaiyin Waste-to-energy project has a designed daily household waste processing capacity of 1,000 tonnes and will be constructed in two phases. Phase I has a daily household waste processing capacity of 500 tonnes with a total investment of RMB250 million (US$38.6 million). The project will be constructed on a BOO (Build-Operate-Own) basis with a concession period of 30 years. The project is expected to generate approximately 57,000,000 kWh of green electricity annually.Huaiyin Biomass Power Generation project will be constructed in two phases as well. The total investment of Phase I is approximately RMB240 million (US$37 million), with a designed annual agricultural waste and straw processing capacity of 150,000 tonnes and will be equipped with a 75t/h furnace and an 18 MW power generator to generate 107,500,000 kWh of green electricity annually by mainly using agricultural waste and straw in Huaiyin and adjacent areas for power generation.Mr. Chen Xiaoping, CEO of Everbright International, said,
"An urban-rural integration project incorporates the processing models of household waste and agricultural straw in the project that allows both waste incineration and biomass power generation in the same place and the same district. The projects also share the same flue-gas system, water system, transportation channel and management, and as a result, allows the Group to plan and allocate resources more efficiently and to have better economic benefits. The urban-rural integration project model is also one of the key business strategies of the Group. Huaiyin rural-urban integrated project is the 8th project of its kind invested in and constructed by Everbright International. As more rural-urban integration projects complete construction, these projects will become a new source of growth for the Group in the future."
