Everything Trump
Gentle Critique of Dr James Veltmeyer's Trump Article
By raysongtree | Everything Trump, letters and essays (Educational Comments only) | No Comments
See my comments in CAPS. This is a pre covid article however it was brought to my attention in early May 2020 Trump and the New World Order Oct 1, 2019 by Dr. James Veltmeyer The ongoing attacks by the political establishment on President Donald Trump – which began even before he was elected – are without parallel in history. The savagery, frenzy, and outright hysteria displayed by the President's enemies within the Democrat Party, the media, and the various power centers of the globalist elites have no prior precedent. This President has been spied on, lied about, made the subject of phony foreign dossiers, insulted, ridiculed, scorned, mocked and threatened. We have witnessed Hollywood celebrities advocate for blowing up the White House, demand the President be beaten, jailed or even assassinated, and his children tortured and sexually abused. We have seen politicians in Washington try to convict the President of non-existent crimes, investigate him and his family members for everything from tax returns to guests at his hotels, project on to him crimes that they themselves have committed, and seed his Administration with leakers and double-agents. No other President in American history has been treated in such a shameful manner. Not Lincoln. Not FDR. Not Nixon. Not Reagan. What is it about this President that has roused such demons [CORRECT] in his political foes? What is it about this President that drives his opponents to the brink of insanity? What is it about this President that so terrifies and terrorizes…
"Q" Is a Marvelous Psy-op, "Trust the Plan"
Update Jan 14, 2019 See this youtube video… The video above affirms the sense of many, including author, that Q was and is a psy-op. I was not sure when I wrote below article… *************************************** People trying to understand the origins of Q… The difficulty I have with this message included below, is that some rich men could organize something more powerful in 10 years, than richer men have done in 300 years. However, the pedophile secret cults are being exposed. The grip is breaking down. And Brexit, Trump, Hungary are really happening. And then there are you and I, people who know the system is not just rigged, it is wrong. The story that military is behind Q sounds more possible to me than some billionaires, as per story below. The most important thing I want to say to my friends is that Q is not an all knowing all powerful god. The initiative Q is as imperfect as everything else. There is a saying, "No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy." We see on youtube there are people who take any crumb from Q as gospel. We also see projections into the coming utopia. "After Trump defeats all evil, we can have free energy heaven." The Earth and millions of species don't want a human utopia. They want an ancient pre-tech ecology and human humility living among others, not over others. Of course, most human supremacists cannot consider this absolute fact because they don't care what other…
The Rothschilds Own Donald Trump – Syria Explained
By raysongtree | Breaking News (Educational Comments only), Everything Trump | 2 Comments
This 38 minute video lays to rest the idea that Trump will "drain the swamp." Kudos to Blackstone Intelligence Network. This video ends the fantasies of many truthers about Trump and the New World Order. Have Alex Jones or SGT Report or X22 Report or the fake Qanon considered the basic truths unveiled here? UNDENIABLE evidence. Then, if this is true, which it is, how do we explain the hatred of MSM toward Trump? Is the ownership of Trump not solid?  Your tax dollars at work…
Jared Kushner and Rothchild Connections to Jewish Supremacist Cult
By raysongtree | Everything Trump | No Comments
Mirrow of https://www.henrymakow.com/Kushner-Belongs-to-Fanatical-Jewish-Doomsday-Cult.html Kushners Belong to Jewish Supremacist Doomsday Cult April 9, 2017 (Jared & Ivanka visit the Chabad Rebbe for a pre-election blessing Nov. 5, 2016) Is Trump's Jared Kushner connection to the Chabad Lubavitch sect the cause for his dramatic U-turn? The sect is deliberately fomenting a prophesied Third World War. It believes Jews are God's chosen people and everyone else is trash. In the book "Gatherings of Conversations" Rebbe Schneerson tells his followers that Jewish people are an extensionof God and Gentiles are destined to serve the Jews. Historian Wolfgang Eggert says this is the real face of the Illuminati; the Rothschilds belong to this cult. [See end of article, this claim is refuted.] He says this cult intends to initiate a nuclear holocaust in order to fulfill biblical prophecy and hasten the return of the Messiah: "History and politics are a big movie, and they are the directors, bringing old-testament-prophecy into reality. They captured freemasonry by building up the Illuminati (through Rothschild/Jacob Frank/Weishaupt); they made a pact with the British monarchy when they financed William III to become king; they placed the British royals at the head of the Freemasons; they made the modern banking system and the Fed (through Rothschild); they made Zionism, the world wars, the European union and so on. They reign through their puppets Rothschild (whose ancestors had been part of the chassidic cult) and Rockefeller, who were the guiding force behind Bilderberg, the trilaterals etc. We are now in the "End Times"; they are trying…
Trump Places Military Base in Israel Because ISIS Failed
By raysongtree | Breaking News (Educational Comments only), Everything Trump, Jewish | One Comment
A new US military base in Israel shows the world that Trump was insincere when he said US should not be world's policeman. With over 800 military bases overseas, Trump has been led by his Jewish Family, his own Jewish roots, his own military response to another fake gas attack in Syria, his own close association with Benjahmin Netanyahu to okay this new military base in Israel. Israel needs help because the Israeli military front called ISIS has been routed by Russian intervention in the ongoing bid for "Greater Israel" to take over the region. Iran allows nuclear inspections, while Israel does not. Israel is the rogue nation in region.

"Respect for sovereignty" now means the right to intervene.

Mr. Secretary General, Mr. President, world leaders, and distinguished delegates: Welcome to New York. It is a profound honor to stand here in my home city, as a representative of the American people, to address the people of the world As millions of our citizens continue to suffer the effects of the devastating hurricanes that have struck our country, I want to begin by expressing my appreciation to every leader in this room who has offered assistance and aid. The American people are strong and resilient, and they will emerge from these hardships more determined than ever before. Fortunately, the United States has done very well since Election Day last November 8th. The stock market is at an all-time high — a record. Unemployment is at its lowest level in 16 years, and because of our regulatory and other reforms, we have more people working in the United States today than ever before. Companies are moving back, creating job growth the likes of which our country has not seen in a very long time. And…
Trump, Jewish Gangsters, New York and the Genocide of Palestinians
By raysongtree | Breaking News (Educational Comments only), Everything Trump, Jewish | No Comments
Mirror from Veterans Today. I reported on Friedman long ago. E. Michael Jones is an excellent author and editor of Culture Wars. E. Michael Jones: Trump is in cahoots with New York Jewish gangsters By Jonas E. Alexis on September 18, 2017 Jerusalem Post: "Throughout much of his adult life and childhood, at seemingly every significant juncture in his business career, Donald J. Trump has surrounded himself with members of a single minority group." E. Michael Jones, author of The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History. …by Jonas E. Alexis E. Michael Jones, a prolific writer and editor of Culture Wars magazine, has recently done an interview with Press-TV during which he said: "First question. Why is Donald Trump against the Iran nuclear agreement? The answer to that is he is from New York. The Jews control New York City. You can't go anywhere in the real estate business in New York City unless you go along with what they want. And this is basically the basis of his foreign policy. "He has no philosophical basis to do anything to analyze the policy to come up with some type of an alternative to the neocon catastrophe that has created the foreign policy ever since the invasion of Iraq in 2003." This shouldn't surprise any observer at all. Even the Jerusalem Post has stated very clearly: "Throughout much of his adult life and childhood, at seemingly every significant juncture in his business career, Donald J….
Trump Pardons Important Obama Fake Birth Certificate Researcher, Sheriff Joe Apario
Trump pardons former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, says he was 'worthy … Aug 25, 2017 · President Donald Trump has pardoned former sheriff Joe Arpaio following his conviction for intentionally disobeying a judge's order in an immigration case…. Chicago Tribune The real reason Arpaio was targeted was that he was prominent figure in uncovering Obama's false birth certificate. Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaii Health Dept Head who knew most about this, was murdered as part of the coverup. Wayne Madsen has revealed that Obama's entire history was fabricated. * Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Obama's Birth Certificate a Forgery http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/joe-arpaio-barack-obama-birth-certificate/2016/12/15/id/764243/ Sheriff Joe Arpaio (AP) By Greg Richter | Thursday, 15 Dec 2016 08:07 PM Maricopa County, Arizona – Sheriff Joe Arpaio held a press conference on Thursday to release information he says proves that President Barack Obama's long form birth certificate is a forgery. Arpaio said he received information in 2011 that indicated the certificate could have been forged, and he consulted forensic experts from around the world who agree it is not authentic. Arpaio and his team are not claiming that Obama was not born in Hawaii, but only that the long form birth certificate is not authentic. So-called "birthers" have questioned Obama's place-of-birth, saying he was born in Kenya, which they say disqualifies him to serve as president of the United States. Obama says he was born in Hawaii. "We had to follow the evidence," Arpaio said before turning the briefing over to lead investigator Mike Zullo. Zullo showed video…
Trump: R.I.P. Populist President
I'm sorry to say that Trump crossed the sanity line when he decided to "win" in Afghanistan. Michael Krieger sums up the end of the populist president. Donald Trump Finally Comes Out of the Closet Donald Trump Finally Comes Out of the Closet Michael Krieger | Posted Friday Aug 18, 2017 at 3:17 pm The firing of Steve Bannon is in my opinion the most significant event to happen during the Trump administration thus far. Moreover, it will have massive reverberations across the U.S. political spectrum for years and years to come. I wasn't planning on writing today, but this news is so incredibly significant I find myself with little choice. Taking a step back, part of the reason I was immediately able to see through the Trump con was due to my upbringing in New York City. The guy was constantly in the news my entire life, so I had a pretty decent understanding of where he was really coming from and what makes him tick. The mindset of your typical NYC-based billionaire real estate developer is filled with all sorts of perspectives and priorities, but thoughts of populism are not amongst them. Trump used populism to get elected, and then as soon as he won, immediately appointed some of the most destructive oligarchs imaginable to run his administration. The reason I warned about this incessantly at the time, is because I learned the lesson from the Obama administration. People = policy, and the people Trump was elevating were…

Find out! Trump Doesn't Want You to Know About These 5 Major Flaws in His Afghanistan Strategy By: Ken Klippenstein August 22, 2017 According to his Monday night speech, 45* [They mean Trump] is sending 4,000 more US troops to Afghanistan, signaling support for the longest-running war in U.S. history. But there are at least five gaping holes in his plan: 1. 45's [Trump's] Afghanistan strategy is a betrayal of his 2016 campaign Back before he was even considering running for president, 45 tweeted on multiple occasions that the war in Afghanistan was a "waste," "nonsense," and "a total disaster." In 2011, 45 tweeted his agreement with then-Congressman Ron Paul's assessment that the U.S. was "wasting lives and money in Afghanistan." However, according to a New York Times article published Monday night, 45 eventually submitted to pressure from the multiple generals in his cabinet and administration, who convinced him that the only viable strategy in Afghanistan was to send in thousands more troops.

Bernie Sanders, A Hair from New World Order: Speech – Carson California May 17, 2016
By raysongtree | Elections, Everything Trump | 2 Comments
(Reposted Aug 5, 2017 – This has become a long essay, but many of the themes in my books are condensed here.) I listened to Bernie Sanders Youtube in Carson Calif. May 17, 2016 Very sad. He defends Obama and attacks Trump for being a "birther", but Trump is the one who is correct. There is not one thing we have been told about Obama that is true. Study third generation CIA agent Obama. Thus, Sanders is on the wrong side of history and is attacking the right side of history. (Link for excellent pro and con analysis of Trump) Interestingly, Trump seems to have some independent thought, while Sanders still lives in a Washington D.C. trance, meaning, Bernie Sanders is establishment. The establishment, as Sanders himself says, is on the wrong side of history. But so is Sanders. Bernie Sanders doesn't know on what side he is, because he somehow has missed basic research, for example, about Obama. Trump is also correct about vaccine dangers, about requiring immigration screening for Mexicans and Muslims, about deporting illegal immigrants and letting them re-apply legally, and he has offered pointed questions about 9/11. Trump has even used correct verbiage in calling Bill Clinton a rapist. I don't adore Donald Trump, but I know he is not a racist because Ben Carson endorses him! The best thing about Trump is that he has shown that both sides of the media are crooked and are really one beast. Whatever happens, he won't forget that….
Trump Inspects Mexican Cargo for First Time
We can be sure the CIA is fuming also. See lower article. Drug Cartels Fuming at New U.S. Policy Screening 100% of Mexican Cargo Trucks http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2017/08/drug-cartels-fuming-new-u-s-policy-screening-100-mexican-cargo-trucks/ AUGUST 01, 2017 In a major shift from lax Obama-era regulations, the Trump administration is finally allowing customs officers to screen all cargo trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico and sources on both sides of the border tell Judicial Watch Mexican drug cartels are fuming. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is using X-ray technology and other non-intrusive tools to screen 100% of cargo trucks crossing the southern border after eight years of sporadic or random screening permitted under the Obama administration. "We felt like we were the welcoming committee and not like we were guarding our borders," said veteran U.S. Customs agent Patricia Cramer, who also serves as president of the Arizona chapter of the agency's employee union. "The order was to facilitate traffic, not to stop any illegal drugs from entering the country," Cramer added. "We want to enforce the law. That's what we signed up for." Cramer, a canine handler stationed at the Nogales port of entry in Arizona, said illicit drugs are pouring in through the southern border, especially massive quantities of fentanyl, an opioid painkiller that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says is more potent than morphine. Approximately 471,000 trucks pass through the U.S-Mexico border monthly, according to figures published by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The busiest port of entry is in Laredo, Texas where 167,553 trucks enter…

Trump Stops CIA Black Ops Against Assad, True or Fake News?
Reuters News rarely offers news without an agenda. In this case as the second article below shows, the claim that U.S. is no longer arming "rebels" in Syria has no official statement backing it. Students of the Iraqi, Libyan, and Syrian wars have seen, through the military plans discovered by Gen. Wesley Clark in 2001, that all these wars were designed to destabilize and dominate the region. All were for "humanitary intervention" against innocent leaders, and ravaged these countries, killing millions. Trump was not exaggerating when he said Obama created ISIS. Now the plot may be getting busted if this article by Reuters has any veracity. However, that is a big IF as we shall see. click on image below to start 5 minute video of Gen. Wesley Clark This article from Reuters lacks proper named sources… Trump ends CIA arms support for anti-Assad Syria rebels: U.S. officials http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-usa-syria-idUSKBN1A42KC John Walcott July 19, 2017 WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Trump administration has decided to halt the CIA's covert program to equip and train certain rebel groups fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, two [unnamed] U.S. officials said, a move sought by Assad ally Russia. The U.S. decision, said one of the officials, [which one?] is part of an effort by the administration to improve relations with Russia, which along with Iranian-supported groups has largely succeeded in preserving Assad's government in the six-year-civil war. The CIA program began in 2013 as part of efforts by the administration of then-President…
This Is Why Trump Should Overhaul the EPA
Many people do not yet understand that regulatory agencies like the EPA, FDA, USDA, CDC and FCC are actually controlled by the very industries they are supposed to regulate. (See links for examples of revolving door between government and corporate interests) This collusion insures that dangerous products such as Glyphosate (active ingredient in Monsanto herbicide Roundup), dangerous drugs, dangerous foods and dangerous electromagnetic frequencies continue to impact the health of people and environment. The FCC, as an emergency example, is whole heartedly rolling out 5G infrastructure without considering the many whistle blowers who are naming untested 5G as catastrophic. In this excellent article below from Globalresearch.ca we see the ugly symbiotic history of the EPA and Monsanto. The author below thinks that CEO's live to maximize profit. In actuality, they steer their corporations toward a definition of success within the political parameters of society, and these parameters are set by an elite that feels that over-population must be pro-actively imploded using deception to hide the operations, or they won't be able to stay in control. Thus poison is not just allowed, it is placed forward as a hidden solution to curb humanity. There is another way but this would sabotage the elite; we could try educating youth about the consequences of carefree desire. Right now, the elite use Hollywood to encourage everyone to stay intoxicated and dumbed down. Correctly, the following article will help prosecute the guilty. For related articles about Monsanto on this blog, please see this link. Why…

Infowars Questions Trump's Position on Vaccines
By raysongtree | Children, Everything Trump | No Comments
In this infowars article by Jon Rappaport, President Trump's position on vaccines is questioned. Is Trump's investigation of vaccine-dangers dead? Jon Rappoport | Infowars.com – July 9, 2017 Trump has made two key appointments in the area of childhood vaccination. The first was Scott Gottlieb, the director of the FDA. What does Gottlieb have to say? From fiercepharma.com: "…antivaccine activists were disappointed with Trump's appointment for FDA head, Scott Gottlieb, who has said any theories of a link between vaccines and autism have been 'thoroughly debunked'." Trump's second key appointment has now been revealed. Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald takes over as the head of the CDC.Georgia Department of Public Health: "'Immunizations are the best way to protect infants and children from childhood diseases, like whooping cough and measles that can be life-threatening at young ages'," said Brenda Fitzgerald, M.D., commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Health [before her appointment to lead the CDC]. "It is critical for parents to talk to their child's doctor to ensure they are up-to-date on immunizations, because no child should have to suffer a vaccine-preventable illness'." In 2014, Dr. Fitzgerald wrote an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "I've heard all the arguments against vaccination. All have been debunked…" Is Trump, who has declared he believes there is a link between vaccination and autism, playing a secret game? Is he giving his new appointees enough rope to hang themselves, before he moves in and empowers an independent panel to investigate vaccine-dangers? We'll see. However,…
The President Has Never Directed Policy
Trumps use of a fake gas attack in Syria to justify regime change and more military industrial complex domination and to also further the goals of "Greater Israel" has dashed hopes of those who thought he was a real alternative. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/05/02/american-democracy-dead-man-walking/ American Democracy: A Dead Man Walking May 2, 2017 by Paul Craig Roberts Trump's "sell-out," as it is called, coming on top of Obama's eight-year "sell-out," is instructive. We have now had a Democratic president who sold out the people who elected him and a Republican president who has done the same thing. This is a very interesting point, the meaning of which most people miss. But not Russia's president, Vladimir Putin. At the Valdai discussion club, Putin summed up Western democracy, which I paraphrase as follows: In the West, voters cannot change policies through elections, because the ruling elites control whoever is elected. Elections give the appearance of democracy, but voting does not change the policies that favor war and the elites. Therefore, the will of the people is impotent. People are experiencing that they and their votes have no influence on the conduct of affairs of the country. This makes them afraid, frustrated, and angry, a combination of emotions that is dangerous to the ruling elite, who in response organize the powers of the state against the people, while urging them with propaganda to support more wars. Obama promised to get out of Afghanistan or Iraq or perhaps it was both. He promised to reverse the police…
Trump Gives DeVos 300 days to Review Top/Down Control of Education
It is difficult to find articles about Trump that are simply the facts, and not an excuse to smear him… President Trump orders Betsy DeVos to review education regulations for federal overreach By Brian McVicar April 28, 2017 at 7::11 AM DAY 43 – In this March 3, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos pose with fourth graders Janayah Chatelier, 10, left, Landon Fritz, 10, after they received cards from the children, during a tour of Saint Andrew Catholic School in Orlando, Fla. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, file)Alex Brandon President Donald Trump is pushing to scale back federal "overreach" into the nation's schools through a new executive order he signed this week. The order directs U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal regulations and guidance where the federal government has "overstepped its legal authority," said Rob Goad, a senior official at the Department of Education. Goad, speaking to reporters, acknowledged that DeVos already has the power to make such moves, but said the executive order delivers on Trump's "commitment to ensure education decisions are made by those closest to students." In "recent years," Goad said, "too many in Washington have advanced top-down mandates that take away autonomy and limit the options available to educators, administrators, and parents." "Today's executive order puts an end to this overreach, ensuring that states and localities are free to make educational decisions as required by law," he said. "This executive order makes certain that…

Odd Buildings Situations
From time to time, various situations that can only be described as «Οdd» come to our attention - either through our own experience or through our reader's information. We understand that some of these odd situations occur in third/undeveloped countries, but not to an E.U. member (such as Cyprus) which aspires to become itself to a similar level as other E.U. members (be it sometime in the future).
Paphos Complex
A commercial and residential project which erected 40 years ago along Paphos seaside road (Poseidonos) is in turmoil. The project has a wide private pavement along the road and the local shops took over some of the private pavement and used it for placing tables and goods for the passers-by, by creating a certain cacophony and interrupting the smooth pedestrian flow.
Approximately 10 years ago, the Municipality of Paphos wrote to the shop owners suggesting the extension of the shops to a certain line within the private pavement and suggested a uniform structure for an extension charging the owners approximately €20.000/each. Duly paid and constructed (by the Municipality) the project was improved in its appearance and utilization for all, customers/dinners/bar users etc. Suddenly and after 10 years of the "new" project operation, the administrative committee wrote to the shop owners suing them for damages etc for an illegal extension (by whom?).
The private pavement extension was done by the Planning Authority (the Municipality of Paphos). So, who is to blame, the owners, the administrative committee, the Municipality? (Either of the last two but not the owners). A mess, dear reader, with a similar situation appearing along the hotels' road in Paralimni and Ayia Napa, as well as just about every shop in Cyprus (such as cafes extensions into the private pavements). A most interesting court case when it comes to the court and more interesting, we will examine with interest the Court's decision.
Paralimni seashore protection zone
Another most odd situation is that whereas the private owned properties cannot build any structure within the seashore protection zone (not even a pergola), the Municipality of Paralimni has leased beach properties within the protection zone and has erected/allowed to, the building of kiosks (for the sale of refreshments) which suddenly are converted into bar/snack bar and restaurants. So, the same Planning Authority is the one who contravenes the law. Also, a more shocking fact is that whereas the District Officer has applied to the Municipality to demolish such structures, the Municipality does not bother to reply (we have the correspondence in hand).
The Pissouri subsidence and other
Another odd situation is the subsidence of the soil in the Pissouri region (one locality) as well as in Armou village and others. On the one hand, the building laws require that the building design structures should be approved by the District Officer, but quite oddly, the Auditor General says that the approval of the structure design is just a formality and as such the Government has no responsibility. Why then the requirements of approval for the structures? – Odd?
Increased Building Density
The recently introduced increased building density for certain areas has created problems regarding the density of existing properties and including the height, causing damage to the original buyers both in terms of occupier's density, as well as matters of view, sunlight etc. On the other hand, we understand that eligible owners can utilize the increased density, but on the other hand we are faced with damage to others. Who will pay any reasonable compensation for those affected and who is in the wrong? – Odd.
So here we are. We have built a new motorway connecting Paphos airport to the town for approximately 15km, but environmental issues have now arisen in order to complete the remaining 1km of the highway. As a result there is no link which will facilitate the shortening of the airport/town travel by approximately 15 minutes time. No one knows how this situation can be resolved – Very odd.
In our opinion, we should place due weight to the environment, but on the other hand we should place more weight to the safety of travelers and the wellbeing of the locals and the economy. Who has a priority?
The Ayia Napa Golf
What a situation dear reader. Here we are with Ayia Napa/Paralimni Municipality hosting 40% of the tourism, having the shortest season and the golf which could help extend the season and provide jobs for the locals and others. Yet, the same people who would have benefited from this project, are the same people who voted 'No' for their own small politics. An odd situation indeed.
The Dhekelia Road
A similar odd situation exists with the improvement of Larnaca-Dhekelia seaside road. The three local Municipalities disagree whether the road should be widened and this notwithstanding the shocking death-traffic accidents that this road creates. So, what do we do?
Most of these 'Nos' come from small pressure groups, who had the same stand for Nicosia Athalassa forest to be used as a public park (which is now a jewel for Nicosia, especially for the children/parents, sports facilities etc). At that time, the Government turned a deaf ear on such protests and now, we have what a center for enjoyment by all.
Environment should be protected in our opinion, but to the extent that it does not affect the wellbeing of people. Such an issue was decided by the European Court of Justice on the expansion of the development zone into a Natura area in Hungary, which decided in favor of the wellbeing of the people. Natura does not prohibit development, but it restricts it to low density uses and with due care to the environment. We, in this country being the champions (in the wrong meaning of the word) go the other way and projects such as the Shacolas Limni development golf area come to an end, whereas the Akamas long awaited project is yet to be decided (be it that it is ongoing for the last 20 years) since the locals object to it.
We must bear in mind that in this country due to the limitations imposed by our constitution, restrictions that are imposed on real estate owners that affect the value of the real estate should be so compensated. So, who is going to pay for such a multi-million compensation?
There are other numerous odd situations such as the one of Sotira's beach (Ayia Thekla) which is now the top destination both for locals and weddings. We believe that the beach facilities provided by the Paralimni Municipality such as showers/restrooms/changing rooms have improved the environment and health of the bathers, but yet the same so-called environmental pressure groups object to it.
It is an odd country dear reader, trying to find ourselves. Although we are improving, the procedures of democracy are such that it makes it a long effort.
As Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is not the best system, but it is the best until we find something better".

Kings general manager Vlade Divac will contemplate these questions in the days ahead as he reaches an important decision regarding Cauley-Stein, the first player he drafted after joining the front office in 2015. What the Kings do with Cauley-Stein will shape their future more than anything they do with three second-round picks in Thursday's NBA Draft, unless a major trade materializes.
The Kings have until June 30 to extend a qualifying offer that would make Cauley-Stein, 25, a restricted free agent, giving them the right to match any offer he receives from another team. Or, they could simply let him walk away.
"It's a tough question," Divac recently told The Sacramento Bee. "We would like to keep Willie in terms of his talent potential, but he still needs to show us the consistency that we are looking for. We are talking."
We've been talking about this stuff for years. When training camp began last year, Cauley-Stein told us his "chakras" were aligned and his mind, body and spirit were sound. He said he was ready to be consistent and "ready to get paid" after Divac set expectations in a private meeting, essentially giving him a map to the gold.
Cauley-Stein averaged 11.9 points, a career-high 8.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 81 games as a starter this season. He ranked 29th among centers in scoring, 24th in rebounding and 55th in blocked shots.
Cauley-Stein's numbers are even more damning when adjusted for minutes with per-36 averages that ranked 50th in scoring, 47th in rebounding and 78th in blocked shots.
"You see what other centers in the league are doing, and I used to try to compare myself to them," Cauley-Stein said. "As soon as I stopped comparing myself to them, my game kind of freed up. I don't have to be the same as them. I don't have to be the same as Steven Adams. I don't have to be the same as DeAndre Jordan. I'm Willie Cauley-Stein. I'm going to do what I crafted my game to do just like they crafted theirs. I don't want to be like nobody else. I want to just be me."
Cauley-Stein has been the subject of fan frustration because he's tantalizingly close to being the perfect player for the run-and-gun game the Kings unleashed on the NBA this season. He's a long, agile 7-footer who goes end to end faster than any center in the league, excels as a lob threat and provides the ability to switch defensively, but inconsistency and a couple of critical deficiencies have been unmistakable weaknesses in his game.
What the Kings need is a center who runs the floor, protects the rim and rebounds voraciously, preferably with a decent outside shot, not a dude who's trying to establish a 15-foot jumper.
Unfortunately, there are few men in the world who possess all of those traits. Nikola Vucevic, Brook Lopez, Jordan and Dewayne Dedmon are conceivable fits for the Kings. Earlier reports suggested Sacramento would use $37 million in projected salary-cap space to offer Vucevic, 28, a max contract, but a league source has now told NBC Sports California the Kings are unlikely to pursue Vucevic.
Dedmon, 29, is a rim runner who rebounds, protects the paint and shot 38.2 percent from 3-point range this season with the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are reportedly interested in keeping Dedmon on a short-term deal similar to his previous two-year, $14 million contract, but there will be higher bidders.
The Kings could be one. Dedmon wouldn't improve the team's overall talent as much as Vucevic, but he does things Cauley-Stein doesn't and would leave the Kings enough cap space to add a good backup point guard or wing depth while preserving future cap flexibility.
Sacramento's approach to free agency could change if Divac gains traction on a deal to acquire someone like Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris.
First, the Kings have to decide what to do with Cauley-Stein and try to retain Harrison Barnes, who has until June 29 to pick up his $25.1 million player option for 2019-20.
Cauley-Stein could see this crossroads coming when we talked that night in New Orleans. Divac must be asking himself if Cauley-Stein will ever be more motivated than he was this season, with a big payday on the horizon, but Cauley-Stein insists there's more to his game, a possibility the Kings have to consider.
"I've gotten better every year," Cauley-Stein said. "I'm only going to continue to get better and better, and I'm just scratching the surface. I'm 25 years old and I've been hooping at a high level for a long time.
"I've still got more skills that haven't been brought out, haven't been drilled, like, we don't take advantage of it. Like, 'You don't take advantage of everything I have.' "
Maybe there's still time for that. Maybe new coach Luke Walton can make Cauley-Stein a more consistent player and unlock the massive defensive potential he had when he came out of college. That's the dude the Kings need him to be, but he seems to think he's someone else.
The Sacramento Kings have until June 30 to extend a qualifying offer that would make center Willie Cauley-Stein (00) a restricted free agent. The Kings could also let him walk away. The Kings are looking for consistency from the 7-footer. Cauley-Stein says he possesses more skills that have yet to be tapped. José Luis Villegas jvillegas@sacbee.com

title: Python Switch Statements - part 2
mt_id: 182
date: 2008-02-11 12:22:36 -08:00
---
My friend Lex read my post on [Python's lack of switch statements](http://dinomite.net/archives/dictatorial-leadership-is-sometimes-the-best) and sent me a note that the normal method for implementing something along the lines of a `switch` in Python is to use a dictionary.  First, let's define some functions:

def fooFunc():
    print 'Got foo?'
def barFunc():
    print 'Not foo.'
def nomatch():
    print 'No function to speak of!'

string = 'foo'

Now we can create a dictionary and just lookup the variable you want to switch upon:

# Make a dictionary and call it switch
switch = {
    'foo': fooFunc,
    'bar': barFunc
    }

# Find the string in the dictionary, thereby calling the function
switch[string]()
switch['bar']()

# Another way to do the dictionary lookup
switch.get(string, nomatch)()
switch.get('bar', nomatch)()

Which will call the function in the switch dictionary, or call `nomatch` if none of the dictionary entries match.  Or create an anonymous dictionary and do it all at once, more like a traditional `switch`:

{
    'foo' : fooFunc,
    'bar' : barFunc
}[string]()

RAF Henlow's centenary flypast will pass over Hertfordshire
The airfield is one of the oldest still in service
25 historic Chipmunk aircraft will fly over RAF Henlow
A century of the Royal Air Force will be marked at one of its oldest airfields this weekend.
Around 25 historic Chipmunk aircraft will fly over RAF Henlow in formation on Sunday (April 1) at 1pm.
The flypast will be visible from neighbouring villages and towns in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, as the aircraft take their places in the formation.
An iconic training aircraft, the Chipmunk operated from RAF Henlow during the 1960s, and is still flying in large numbers in private hands.
Media communications officer at RAF Henlow, Flying Officer Luke Pearce, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for the Royal Air Force to embrace its innovative capability and famous team spirit – it provides the platform to inspire the next generation of airman and airwomen to embark on a promising career in the RAF by commemorating the RAF 100 celebrations."

The overflight is part of the RAF 100 celebrations, but the airfield's role actually pre-dates the official formation of the Royal Air Force a century ago.
Flying at Henlow began in the summer of 1917, when the RAF's predecessor the Royal Flying Corps purchased 226 acres of farmland to support flying operations on the Western Front during the First World War.
Plan to bring an airfield back to Panshanger, between Welwyn GC and Hertford, unveiled
RAF Henlow is now only one of just five surviving stations from that inception day.
It served again during the Second World War as an assembly point for Hawker Hurricanes built in Canada, and acted as one of the largest maintenance units, repairing damaged fighters during the Battle of Britain.
The crates in which the fighter aircraft were transported in pieces across the Atlantic were used to create Henlow's original control tower.
Hurricane fighters were assembled and repaired at Henlow during the Second World War
The structure can be seen alongside the Grade 2 listed hangar in the classic 1969 war film The Battle of Britain, part of which was filmed at the airfield.
Later in the war, 100 of Henlow's fitters were deployed on Royal Navy aircraft carriers taking Hurricanes to Malta.
The finished Hurricanes were completed on the decks of the carriers and flown out to the besieged island, where they were stationed to defend it from Luftwaffe bombers.

From 1947 Henlow became a training college for cadets and officers until 1980 and was home to the parachute test unit the RAF's radio equipment and signals development.
Last year arms manufacturer MBDA test-fired air defence missiles at Henlow.
Chipmunk operated from RAF Henlow during the 1960s
The station is now home to the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine - which carries out research into the medical effects of flying - and a unit dealing with inspections or visits related to arms control treaties.
It also hosts the Provost Marshal's dog inspectorate, the Band of The Queen's Division and the Defence Cultural Specialist Unit.
Flying from the grass airfield continues to this day, with the airfield hosting training flights from Henlow Flying Club and vintage bi-plane flights by private owners.
Also, the airfield is routinely used as a waypoint by military helicopters from Joint Helicopter Command to train pilots in navigation and operating from grass.
RAF Henlow is to close by 2020, with plans to redevelop the site with a science and technology park and housing development.

About TopTeam
Semco Maritime
Relieving employees during peak load
Semco Maritime is an engineering company that specialises in projects in the offshore and energy sectors. At Semco Maritime, they have an engineering team that primarily develops transport equipment, lifting equipment and handling- and production equipment for the offshore wind industry. It was in this part of the company TopTeam was hired to give a helping hand.
Like many other companies, Semco Maritime faced a challenge that involved their internal capacity and the number of tasks. They had several open projects that they couldn't finish in time because they didn't have the right capacity to do so. Semco Maritime therefore chose to get an external consultant from TopTeam to help them get through their peak period.
The projects were within the offshore industry and included concept development, construction, and preparation of working drawings as well as documentation of the finished product. At Semco Maritime, they needed an engineer who could be a permanent part of their team.
The solution to their challenge was a TopTeam consultant specialising in offshore wind. The consultant came in with the right skills and quickly became part of their internal and daily design team. At Semco Maritime, they brought in a consultant to relieve their own employees and reach the goal of several projects that gradually had begun to lag a little behind.
At Semco Maritime, the TopTeam consultant has taken part in several projects, including primarily lifting tools, but also brand-new products to be developed for Semco Maritime's customers.
From the customer
"He (The Consultant) has been part of the pool of designers that we already have and has been involved in 5-6 different projects within offshore. It's been absolutely crucial for us to bring in one more engineer."

EditorialSource Water Running Downhill Means Power Savings for This Colorado Utility
Source Water Running Downhill Means Power Savings for This Colorado Utility
Pueblo Water will soon use hydroturbines to generate electricity with the flow from its high-elevation reservoir in the Rocky Mountains.
Appeared in print as "Height Advantage"

Having its main water supply at a high elevation has always been a mixed blessing for Pueblo Water.
There is no need to pump the water to the plant because it flows downhill, but it comes in at a much higher pressure than the treatment process can handle.
The solution for many years has been pressure relief valves, but now the utility, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, is looking to turn that pressure into electricity, installing two hydroturbines to capture the power of the high-pressure flow.
"With the elevation difference, the water coming into our treatment plant is somewhere around 85 psi," says Matt Trujillo, director of operations. "When we originally installed the raw water pipeline from the Pueblo Reservoir, about five miles of pipe, we had to install energy dissipation through a pressure dissipation building.
"We have three valves that have been in operation since 2003 that break that 85 psi down to 10 to 12 psi so it's able to go through the treatment process. Now we can use that high pressure to our advantage to create power."
OLD SYSTEM REMAINS
The pressure relief valves, in a 30-by-30-foot building, get the job done, but they don't do it quietly. "You drive by and you can just hear the wasted energy, the noise and vibration coming out of there," Trujillo says. The hydroturbines will be installed in parallel to the existing pressure-dissipation plumbing, so the old valves can still be used if needed.
"A majority of the flow will be directed through the turbines," says Trujillo. "If we need supplemental flow, or if we have to take down the turbines for maintenance, we can still run through the pressure dissipation building." Pueblo's Whitlock Water Treatment plant, with 84 mgd capacity, has average flows of 22-25 mgd in summer and 10-12 mgd in winter.
SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS
The utility purchased 1.0 MW and 0.5 MW hydroturbines. Peak generation is expected to be 835 kW, and annual energy production is projected at 3,500 MWh. "That's a relatively small fraction of what we use," Trujillo says. "It's probably in the 10-20% range." Nevertheless, it's a significant savings — an estimated $400,000 a year when coupled with other metering changes.
The plant's raw water comes in through a 66-inch pipe buried about six feet underground. The turbines will be connected to that pipe underground, and the connecting pipes will come up through the floor of a new building. The pipes will then turn horizontal and run through the turbines. Then the water will be piped back underground to connect with the supply pipe that feeds the treatment plant.
The smaller turbine will be used in winter, when water demand is lower. Although it won't produce as much electricity, it will run more efficiently. In summer when the flow is higher, the water will flow through the larger turbine.
Pueblo Water serves a large distribution area (580 miles of buried pipelines) at a variety of elevations, so it has multiple pressure zones and storage tanks. "We try to get a healthy pressure for everybody in town, 40 to 100 psi," Trujillo says. "The only way to do that is to move water to secondary storage tanks."
That creates a substantial power demand for pumps and motors to move the water through the system; the new hydro power will help meet that demand.
LONG TIME COMING
Trujillo always thought generating power from the water supply pressure was inevitable, but it hasn't been a smooth road: "We've been looking at this for 15 years. The biggest hurdle was more on the regulatory side. When we got really serious, we called in a professional."
Although the Lake Pueblo Reservoir from which the utility draws most of its supply is managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management, the permit for the hydro power project came from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Pueblo Water has already purchased the turbines, but the project has been delayed because the installation cost exceeded original estimates. "We did the procurement for the turbines ourselves, and next we sent out for bids for the construction," Trujillo says. "Costs came back quite a bit higher than we expected. Now we are working to minimize the amount we have to contract out."
He estimates construction will begin late in 2022 and take six to eight months, if there are no material shortages. "On paper it looks simple," he says, "but it's a little complicated to have all the equipment in place where we're taking power generated on site, blending it with power coming from the municipal electric company, and making sure the power we generate doesn't go back onto their grid, causing them potential issues."
Once this project is fully operational, the generators will make noise, of course, but not as much as the energy dissipation valves. And when people hear noise as they drive by the treatment plant, it will be the noise of energy produced — not wasted.


VHP welcomes the application of Union Government to the Hon'ble Supreme Court for restoraing 42 acres of land of Ram Jaanam Bhumi Nyas to it. The Nyas had obtained the land for the construction of Shri Ram Mandir.
All other land including of Ram Janam Bhumi Nyas is not under any dispute. The Hon'ble Supreme Court had said in M. Ismail case that the superfluous land shall be returned to its owners.
The VHP hopes that the Hon'ble Supreme Court shall expeditiously decide the application filed by Govt. of India.

'Teen Mom 2' Recap: Kailyn Lowry's Drama With Chris Lopez Continues
By Nicole Pomarico
Briana DeJesus in Teen Mom. MTV
Nova's New Name
Briana DeJesus and her family headed to Puerto Rico – Briana's ex and Nova's dad, Devoin, included. Nova was pumped to have the chance to go on vacation with both of her parents at the same time, and she had a surprise in store: Briana wanted to ask her if she wanted to change her last name to Devoin's to honor her father.
After having a blast on the beach and jet skiing on the ocean, they taught Nova a little bit about her heritage since she is half Puerto Rican. She seemed like she was in her glory getting to spend so much quality time with her dad, and there was absolutely zero drama with Devoin and Briana and her family.
At the end of the trip, Devoin and Briana asked Nova if she wanted to change her last name to Austin — or add it to the last name she already has — but she was undecided. They gave her the chance to think about it, but she was way more interested in blowing bubbles in her drink. Typical kid on vacation?

MCC Heads Vetting
-For Independence Day Orator
Ahead of the nation's 2018 July 26 Independence Day Celebration, the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) along with the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection, Thursday, 21 June 2018, announced in Monrovia that the two government agencies are leading the vetting process for the selection of this year's independence day orator.
"Members of the press, fellow citizens, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we've called you here today to inform you that the MCC and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection are heading the vetting process leading to the selection of the orator of this year's Independence Day celebration," Monrovia Lord Mayor, Jefferson Koijee, announced at a well-attended press conference in Monrovia Thursday.
The announcement, he noted, opened a paradigm shift in the process of selecting national orator for Independence Day commemoration, which is usually done singlehandedly by the office of the President.
"Our announcement today signifies that this government is for the people. It breaks the usual tradition of allowing the office of the President to exclusively select the national orator in these sorts of public occasions. It also means we are breaking away from the past in order to enable the people participate and decide who they want to be their orator because, the government belongs to them," Mayor Koijee expatiated.
Liberia celebrates its 171st Independence on 26 July this year. Each year the day is commemorated as National Independence Day and is observed throughout the country as a national holiday.
Liberia, Africa's oldest independent country gained its independence on 26 July 1847. Situated on the West coast of Africa, Liberia is bounded on the south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the West by the Republic of Sierra Leone, on the North by the Republic of Guinea, and on the East by La Cote' d'Ivoire. The country has 16 tribes and its population speaks English as its official language.
However, the Liberian nation was hit terrible civil strife, which left nearly 400,000 people dead as well as displacing more than 500,00 people in West Africa and other parts of the globe. Due to the severe devastation caused by the civil war, the country is still grappling to rekindle its broken pieces, a situation the George Weah CDC-led government has vowed to do with the involvement and participation of the larger majority of the country's citizenry.
"We want to assure the people of this country that this government is for the people, and the people must have their part play in the governance of the state at all times," Koijee, who also lauded President Weah for their preferment to head the national orator's selection process, accentuated. Adding: "We have to graduate from the thinking where one group of people feels that if it is not them, this country must not move forward. Under the CDC led government, headed by the great 'Massescrat', His Excellency George Weah, this country will make a change for the better because the Liberian people expect us to deliver to them."
Earlier in his opening remarks, Mayor Koijee lauded Liberians praying along with him following a tragic accident on the Kakata-Gbarnga highway in which his vehicle was badly damaged.
"I just want to thank the Liberian people for praying for me. From the day of the accident, I have been receiving lots of good text messages from Christians, Muslims, friends, loved ones, amongst others. I appreciate all those text messages and sympathy you expressed on the social media for the situation that God rescued me from. This means that God has a purpose for keeping me on this earth, and I promise that I will keep His promise."
"We believe that Liberia is a great country with a lot of talents, and now is the time to bring up the young talents," Mamina Carr, Deputy Minister for Social Protection, Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, who is also part of the Independence Day Orator selection vetting process, said. Adding: "We believe that it is time to bring out the hidden talents. We've usually promoted people who have already made names for themselves in the society. This time, we want to give it out to the Liberian people to have their say in this process by simply involving our young people and called on them to participate in this vetting process."
Minister Carr also promised that the vetting process, which involves applicants covering the ages 15-35, would also cover high schools, University, and master levels. The vetting process, she assured, "Will be very transparent. The MCC and the Ministry of Gender will not be doing the final selection of the orator. In fact, we are encouraging the media to help publicize this information on the radio and the print. Those wishing to participate in this process can do so on facebook and through email.
Submission of entries for the selection of the Independence Day's orator, she also disclosed, starts June 22, 2018 and ends July 13, 2018. "We are encouraging our young people to participate and ensure that their talents are exposed to the outside world," Minister Carr stressed.

Alas, I'm here. Sure seemed like a longer ride than normal to get up here, but the clock verified a typical 3 hours. The season had been slower than last year, but with me , that only drives me harder to be there when the slow spell subsides. The less I catch, the more I try to catch them!..Most of us anglers are probably the same. None the less, I had 5 days of just fishing ahead of me and I was very ,very psyched. As I got out of the Jeep and let my loyal buddy Tugboat, out, I could here deafening crashes from breakers on the beach. I like it a little rough for good striper conditions....but a lot rough can be UNFISHABLE. The two of us (bulldog and moi), raced up to the beach wall...picture a 50 year old guy racing a huge bulldog...maybe, racing is not the term! But wait a second..Stripermike can run when he wants to!
Signing up for the Humarock 4.6mile run!
My ears told the truth. The 8 footers and higher, seemed to assure more time on the couch than I had hoped for. Did I mention the 35 mph northeast winds and the pelting rain??? The morning tide was a washout. I tried desperately to hold out a line, but the conditions were demonic. The couch became the holding pad for Tugboat and I as I hoped the tides would temper as my vacation progressed. The icing on the cake, was that the weather forecasters said we were locked on this pattern for awhile. I was beginning to consider alternative approaches. Somewhere out of the winds....out of the waves...out of the rain...this would take ALOT of recall to remember a site with all those favorable variables. Sighing, was a natural reaction , when I realized, there were none!
A dear friend from work arrived with her beautiful baby , and her presence seemed to side track me from the thought of maybe being shut out during the next few days. As the day progressed, Allison and Fallon, the above mentioned, went in for a nap and I continued to feel like a pent up lion..........until I saw Ed Norton's black truck pull to a skidding halt in front of the house. It is important that you get to know Ed a little bit before I continue. He is a thick armed , mick from this area. Ed is a member of , along with some other very hearty guys, a make believe club that I have...THE IRON MAN FISHING CLUB. He is rugged, tough, determined, highly skilled angler, and a true sportsman......he is just like me....so I knew something was on his agenda for the day, regardless of the conditions, so I rushed to the door to hear the scoop!
"Some guys at the tackle shop said that there is a big school of nice bluefish, crashing bait by the Plymouth Power Plant, but the conditions are so bad, no one can get to them"........Remember, Ed is like me! His rods were in the roof rack and mine were half way out the door as he thundered our traditional yell" LETS GO". Here is the scene. The power plant has a warm water discharge that houses bait on a regular basis, and of course the accompanying predators. On one side of the sleuth way is a small elbow of land and on the other side is a long rock jetty, that was formed with huge boulders....they had to be that size or the force of the water would toss them around. The huge waves that pounded my beach area at the house , were pounding the land and rock jetty with even more force , as they met with the rushing discharge water. The rain...,the spray...,the noise,and the volume of the waves was hellacious! And to boot, the tide was coming in.
We pulled up on the side with the jetty and a number of fisherman were standing there.....not fishing! Their respect for the conditions was justified, but the crashing bluefish were within range........if you could get to the end of the jetty to cast to them. A slip...or a fall, from that jetty into the maelstrom of water, would have only one ending....if they eventually could find your body. No one dared risk it.....until we arrived. We could see how bad it was, but gathered our stuff in a very consolidated fashion....a fashion that would allow us to get out to where no one else could, or would. There was no long discussion and we parted the onlookers as we briskly walked to the beginning of the long CRAWL out to the end of the jetty, where 15 lb bluefish foamed an already foamy surface. The fishing wanna be's mumbled some things as we got further away. I am sure it was a long the lines of "Those fools will get killed out there...that water is "UNFISHABLE".
Hands and knees was the only way. If you stood up, the waves would sweep you away. As we crawled, the hefty breakers were deflected by the big rocks but still covered us with every curl. The adrenaline gnawed at my stomach, it was a familiar feeling. Finally we were within casting range and had to lower ourselves down and in between the huge boulders. If we hadn't......we would not have been able to cast from a standing position. The downside was that being in these crevasses caused us to be completely covered with breaker after breaker and that influx of water had my waders lifting off the bottom on many occasions. That is an eerie feeling! But we were there.... and we whistled out our first casts with an assurance of a hookup. The strong winds held back our casting distance, but we plopped our plugs in the zone.....Success was instaneously obvious as a 12lb bluefish slashed at the Gibbs and the drag could be heard ,even over the deafening roar of the moment. A quick glance to Ed to assure his safety, showed me his rod bent out to the sea and we both laughed. For the next 2 hours we struggled for firm ground and recklessly released fish as waves from the incoming tide literally crashed over us! No one else ever came out. No one else caught the 20 bluefish we did! This was the essence of extreme surfcasting and the reason why I love it and its memories.........Become a member of the IRON MAN FISHING CLUB.....wrestle your environment.

Stepping in for the PM
Ideas@TheCentre – The CIS newsletter (Sydney), 29 July 2011
On Monday, The Centre for Independent Studies did something that the Australian government did not deem necessary: We provided a very warm welcome to Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic.
Klaus is a true friend of Australia. One of his first international trips after the fall of the Iron Curtain was to Australia in 1991, when he delivered the John Bonython lecture to the Centre.
Ten years later, he returned to participate in a CIS conference; he also has close relatives here.
Despite all this, the Prime Minister's Office found no way to accommodate a meeting between the President Klaus and her. Maybe she was genuinely too busy. Or maybe Klaus' views were too unpalatable for her.
President Klaus is a rare bird: He is an economics professor, a former finance minister and prime minister, and now a head of state. But despite this impressive career, he has maintained an outspokenness and independence of mind rare in politicians these days.Maybe Klaus does not hold back his views because he had to do so for too long under communist rule. He does not conform to modern standards of so-called 'political correctness,' which he thinks is 'a misnomer for officially sanctioned hypocrisy.'
So he speaks out where other politicians rather bite their tongues. Whether it is against the intrusive regulations coming out of the European Union, against the drive towards supranationalism, or indeed against programs to impose draconian measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Our exchange of views with the President was most informative and refreshing. It's a pity the Prime Minister missed the opportunity to experience the same.
You can watch a conversation between President Klaus and Dr Hartwich here.

Canada's Top 10 Beaches
By Lucy Izon for readersdigest.caUpdated: Mar. 20, 2019
Head down to the water and feel the sand beneath your toes, because we've rounded up the 10 best beaches in Canada that you have to visit this summer.
Long Beach, Vancouver Island, B.C.
Long Beach is the longest sandy beach on Vancouver Island. In Pacific Rim National Park Reserve between Tofino and Ucluelet, it's 16.6 km of pristine sand washed by a cool pounding surf. Look for joggers, kayakers, sea lions and sun worshipers, with backdrop of rainforest and mountains. There's a summertime Tofino Beach Bus, and if you're an inexperienced surfer, you can get lessons. Twenty thousand grey whales migrate up this coast each spring and summer – tours operate from Tofino and Ucluelet.
Grand Beach, Manitoba
An hour north of Winnipeg on the shore of Lake Winnipeg (Canada's sixth largest lake) is Grand Beach, an enticing 3 km of fine white sand with dunes that can tower 12 metres. Part of Grand Beach Provincial Park, there's volleyball, kite boarding, and a boardwalk where teens like to see and be seen. For bird watchers, the beach is a sanctuary for the rare, endangered Piping Plover. In June 2012 this beach received the internationally-recognized Blue Flag designation for 'extraordinary and safe beaches'.
Grand Bend, Ontario
Thirty miles of beautiful beaches along this Lake Huron coast are equaled only by the spectacular sunsets. 'The Bend', just 45 minutes from London, has been attracting tourists since the 1800's. Young sun worshippers strut their stuff on the beach at the foot of Main Street, while families looking for a quieter environment often gravitate to the beach south of the river mouth. Busy bars, fast food, miniature golf, live theatre – it's fun. The very popular Pinery Provincial Park has 1,000 campsites just south of the village.

Singing Sands, Basin Head Provincial Park, P.E.I.
PEI has more than 800 km of the warmest beaches north of the Carolinas. What makes Basin Head Beach (known as Singing Sands) so special is that it seems to sing, or sqeak, when you walk on it – an intriguing phenomena scientists still don't completely understand. Located at the eastern tip of P.E.I. near Souris, the supervised beach is in a day use (summer) park that has a play area, food, washroom, shower facilities, and the Basin Head Fisheries Museum.

Havre-Aubert Beach, Iles de la Madeleine, Quebec
Enjoy 12 km of sand and The World's Biggest Sand Castle Contest! Hundreds compete, thousands watch, at this annual event (August 10-12, 2012.) Havre-Aubert Island also has a community of sand artisans with studio, gallery, and craft shop. The Magdalen Islands, spread across 85 km of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, offering 300 km of long sandy beaches. There's swimming, hiking, kayaking, and robust breezes for windsurfing and kitesurfing. You can reach the islands by plane, by cruise ship from Montreal, or by daily ferry from Souris, P.E.I.

Martinique Beach, N.S.
Just an hour from Halifax is longest beach in Nova Scotia. With summer supervised waters, 3.7 km of golden sands, and excellent surf conditions, it's a magnet for beachcombers, surfers, paddle boarders, swimmers and picnickers. There are change houses, outhouses, BBQ pits, and tables. Martinique Beach Provincial Park, with its dunes and white spruce forest, is also an important refuge for migratory waterfowl, and habitat for the endangered piping plover (less than 50 pairs breed in the province).
Bennett Beach, Yukon
On the well-travelled 180 km route between Skagway Alaska and Whitehorse YK is a beautiful 2 km soft white sand beach with a spectacular panoramic snow-capped mountain backdrop. Bennett Beach is in the historic village of Carcross, home to some of the oldest buildings in the Yukon. Just 2 km away you can visit Carcross Desert, which Guinness World Records has recognized as the 'World's Smallest Desert'.
Wasaga Beach, Ontario
Wasaga's 14 km of soft white sand on the southern coast Georgian Bay is the world's longest freshwater beach. Read a book, build a sandcastle, shop, enjoy the midway, or get out and jet ski, hike, bike, etc. Wasaga Beach Provincial Park has eight beach areas, two have playground areas and all have washrooms, changing facilities, picnic tables, parkland and parking. Two million people make their way here each year for Beachfest, Kitefest and classic car shows, many of them young and spirited.

Parlee Beach, New Brunswick
New Brunswick has more than 50 beaches – the most popular is at Parlee Beach Provincial Park, Shediac. On hot summer weekend days 16,000 will make their way here to enjoy the white sand, warm water, supervised swimming, volleyball, touch football. Mondays & Wednesdays at 8:00 am there's yoga on the beach for all ages. The park has 190 campsites. For a beach break visit the World's Largest Lobster Sculpture in Shediac, a giant bronze sculpture kids love to climb.

Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan
100 km southeast of Saskatoon is curious Little Manitou Lake, which a century ago rivaled Jasper and Banff for tourists. The salty water is so buoyant you can lie back in it and read a book. There are three beaches with showers and washrooms, and a children's playground. The Manitou Beach Village has a mineral spa and resort, and there's camping and golf in the area. For evenings there's a drive-in movie theatre, and the Danceland dance hall, with a floor built on horsehair that seems to float.

Q: Timer running in a jar used as library I would like to write a small program that runs a timer at startup. Then, I would like to export this program to jar file and import it into a java web project as a library. But before I would like to reassure myself of one thing:
- Is it possible to launch the Timer when the jar is started, when the jar file is deployed, ie just after the import? If yes, how?
Thank you for giving me your opinions and directions.

A:
I would like to write a small program that runs a timer at startup.
  Then, I would like to export this program to jar file and import it
  into a java web project as a library. But before I would like to
  reassure myself of one thing: - Is it possible to launch the Timer
  when the jar is started, when the jar file is deployed, ie just after
  the import? If yes, how?

The jar format does not provide any hook by which you could specify such a thing, and in general, jar files are never themselves "started" or even "imported".  Metadata, resources, and classes can be read from a jar, as requested or needed, by a ClassLoader or otherwise, but the VM does not emit any events or signals by which you could detect that.
If there is some particular class in your jar that is characteristic of it -- maybe the timer class itself -- then you could give that class a static initializer that will start an instance of the timer.  That will be triggered when the class carrying the initializer is loaded, however, which is not necessarily the same thing as when the jar is first opened or read.  Possibly, though, you can choose a class that is certain to be loaded sufficiently early.


Economic crises, growing inequality, climate change and the seeming inability of states to address these challenges have prompted wide-ranging debates on the meaning and trajectory of social development. States and many key stakeholders have expressed considerable interest in social innovation as a solution to some of the challenges outlined and there are arguments that social innovation represents a distinctive approach to sustainable social development.
This book brings together leading researchers, policy makers and practitioners, blending theoretical and empirical analysis, and draws on a number of important case studies. Aiming to inform scholars, practitioners, activists and policy makers, the book addresses critical questions about social innovation, including problems with definition, the importance of social and political culture, the key role of the state in supporting social innovation, and the potentially problematic relationship between social enterprise, social innovation and the broader social economy.

The Best Android Tablets

After spending hundreds of hours over the past several years researching and testing tablets, we think the best full-featured Android tablet for most people right now is the Asus ZenPad 3S 10. Other Android tablets are cheaper, like our budget pick, Amazon's Fire HD 8, or more powerful, like our upgrade pick, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. But the ZenPad offers the best combination of speed, display quality, and features for the price. That said, if you aren't already committed to Android, we think the iPad line offers a better combination of hardware and software.
Who this is for
Few people really need a tablet, but if you're reading this, you probably want one because of what they're good for: watching video, browsing the Web, reading, checking email and social networks, and playing games. They're great for media consumption, but some people even manage to get most of their work done on one.
Tablets are also great first devices for kids. Both the Google and Amazon stores have a large selection of kid-friendly content, and you can give your kids individual accounts so each can access only the content you've selected for them. Kids are also less likely to need exceptional performance, making a more-affordable tablet a good choice for them.
How we picked and tested
We've tested about two dozen Android tablets over the past few years, using them for general tasks such as browsing the Web, checking email, watching movies, and listening to music. We also played games, took photos, and edited documents stored in Google Drive. These are the criteria we use to decide which ones are worth buying:
Display: A good display with a high-resolution screen and a wide brightness range.
Battery life: Unlike your phone, tablets aren't always with you, and you aren't always plugging it in overnight. If a tablet's standby time can't be measured in days, or make it through a full eight-hour day of heavy use, it's not good enough.
Performance: Every tablet will feel slower over the next two to three years as apps grow larger and demand even more power. To keep up with these increasing app requirements, we only considered tablets with a powerful CPU and at least 3 GB of RAM.
Software: Right now we draw the line at Android 7.0 Nougat—a tablet running anything older than that isn't worth buying.
Storage: While streaming your media is convenient, there are times you want to download video, music, and documents to your tablet—for example, if you're going to be on a plane without Wi-Fi access. A tablet should have at least 32 GB of internal space to ensure you have the breathing room to do that. A microSD card slot is nice, as it lets you add storage, but not all apps will take advantage of external storage and microSD cards are slower than built-in storage.
Our pick: Asus ZenPad 3S 10

The Asus ZenPad 3S 10 offers the best combination of features, performance, and price for most Android tablet buyers. The ZenPad's light, sturdy aluminum body comes loaded with 64 GB of storage plus a microSD slot, along with 4 GB of RAM—the same as what comes in more expensive devices like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. But the ZenPad 3S 10 costs less than $300, and its snappy six-core processor provides enough power to run apps in split-screen mode, a feature of its recent upgrade to Android 7.0. The ZenPad has a crisp, bright 9.7-inch display with a 2048×1536 resolution. While it doesn't have the most vibrant colors or deepest blacks, it's still better in every way compared with the screen on the Fire HD 8, our pick for the best cheap tablet.
The ZenPad has a USB Type-C port with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, and its 5,900 mAh battery means you may only need to recharge this tablet two or three times per week. When you're not using it, the ZenPad can sleep for more than a week before shutting down.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Asus still has some work to do on its version of Android, however. In general, it takes too long to get things set up because of strange default settings, and you're better off using Google's music player and keyboard apps rather than the built-in Asus alternatives.
Our main concern about the ZenPad is software updates, and whether it will get Android 8.0 when it's available. Nougat serves this tablet well, though, and the ZenPad's sub-$300 price is extremely good.

The best cheap tablet: Amazon Fire HD 8

If you want a cheap tablet for watching videos, reading, or browsing the Web, Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet is great. It doesn't have access to the Google Play Store or any of Google's apps, but it costs just $80 and makes it easy to access Amazon content (especially for Prime members). Amazon's Fire OS (based on Android) runs very well on the tablet, and the Fire HD 8 offers better battery life than the ZenPad or Tab S3—with a few hours of use per day, this tablet can last most of a week. The Fire HD 8 also has more-extensive parental controls than other tablets, making it a great family device.
In September 2017, Amazon announced the $150 Alexa-enabled Fire HD 10, with a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. We'll be testing the new version against the refreshed 8-inch version (which doesn't have Alexa) soon.

The best high-end Android tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S3

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is the best Android tablet you can buy, with a handy S Pen stylus and a vibrant 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display. The Tab S3 has a sleek glass and aluminum frame like the Galaxy S8; its Snapdragon 820 is plenty powerful, and the 9.7-inch Super AMOLED screen has better colors, brightness range, and black levels than the iPad Pro's LCD. The Galaxy Tab S3 feels faster than the ZenPad 3S 10 and on a par with the Pixel C, our previous pick for high-end Android tablet. It also has the best multitasking features of any Android tablet we've tested. The S3's battery life is weaker than the Pixel C's, but it's good enough to last more than a day of heavy use.
