BAGHDAD - The Iraqi military on Saturday indefinitely banned all motorcycles, bicycles and hand-pushed and horse-drawn carts from the streets of Baghdad, a military spokesman said.
Although the reason for the motorcycle and bicycle ban was unclear, the decision for the carts came after a bomb hidden under a horse-drawn cart exploded in downtown Baghdad on Friday Feb. 22, killing three civilians.
The ban on motorcycles and bicycles goes into effect at dawn Sunday while the one on carts went into effect just after noon, said Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, the chief Iraqi military spokesman for Baghdad.

As of today, Sunday February 24, 2008, bicycles are prohibited from the streets of the capital of US occupied Iraq. As a symbol of the progress achieved by the American backed Iraqi government, the bicycle ban may be a first, on the worldwide scale, perhaps since Mayor Koch in 1987 attempted to ban bicycles (in particular minority bike messengers) from Fifth, Park and Madison Avenues in midtown NYC. The resulting swarming bicycle demonstrations up Sixth Avenue and down the "illegal" Avenues gave birth to the Critical Mass demonstrations worldwide. The name Critical Mass came from a comment NYC workbicycle/pedicab pioneer George Bliss made in the Return of the Scorcher video, while watching Chinese bicyclists building up numbers to penetrate a moving stream of motor vehicles without the benefit of a traffic light.
Then again, looking back, there was also the confiscation and dumping of hundreds of Indonesian pedicabs in the 1980's. In fact, pedicabs have been banned in a few communities. The bicycle taxi cabs used for years by Mr. Bliss in New York City, for example, had seen service in Hawaii and Miami before being made illegal and shipped on.
That brings to mind another liberation struggle (are we allowed to call it that?), when the Vietnamese were also trying to shake off foreign occupation so they could finish their civil war. The Vietnamese used bicycles to haul cannons up mountain passes to blow the French out of Dien Bien Phu and they also used pedicabs to hide bombs to strike at US forces in Saigon.
Nothing more dangerous than a bicycle. I just remember the slogan from the streets of NYC in 1986: "Don't Mess With Messengers!"

The Media Needs to Look in the Mirror After Harvey Weinstein
By Ryan Holiday • 10/10/17 10:00am
The press are seeing Harvey Weinstein's fall as a cause for celebration, not an indictment of their own role. Alexander Koerner/Getty Images
The media loves to call for soul searching in other industries. Rarely does it heed its own calls.
What has happened with Harvey Weinstein, the movie producer now accused of disturbing and innumerable examples of sexual misconduct, should be one of those moments, because the press has badly botched their coverage of this controversial man going on thirty years.
Yet instead of soul searching what you can expect to see over the coming days and months—and are already starting to see—is a lot of sanctimonious hand wringing and outrage about Harvey Weinstein, all he is accused of, and what it might mean.
How could the allegations only finally become public now? How could he have gotten away with it for so long? Why didn't people stand up and say anything?
Great questions! But one needs to be added: How did the collective press—the Hollywood, media, gossip, and business journalists who follow every move of these power players as part of their job—miss this so badly?
Well, the answer is they didn't miss it. They had the story, they were just too cowardly to publish it. As Sharon Waxman of TheWrap has written, she tried to break the story herself for the New York Times in 2004.
"The paper had a story on mogul's sexual misconduct back in 2004 — but gutted it under pressure…I was told at the time that Weinstein had visited the newsroom in person to make his displeasure known. I knew he was a major advertiser in the Times, and that he was a powerful person overall."
And yet it's also worth pointing out that Waxman has run her own site since 2009 and not broken the story there either, saying that she had been too focused on "raising money, building a website and starting a media company." "Bravo to the NYT reporters for publishing the story we all tried to get for decades," tweeted the co-editor-in-chief of Variety. Tried? Really? Because you've covered the guy quite a few times in those decades. Take the now breaking story that David Boies, a lawyer who has represented The Weinstein Company, made a donation to NY District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr.'s campaign after the DA dropped the 2015 sexual assault charges against Weinstein. (Vance's office has said that Boies was not representing Weinstein in the investigation at the time.) Is this newly available public campaign finance data? Not at all. So where was Variety or the New York Times or The Intercept or any other media outlet on that story? Right. Not there. The New York Post definitely wasn't there. In fact, in a 2015 article about that groping allegation, the Post had the classlessness to refer to the professional model who accused Weinstein of reaching up her skirt and grabbing her breast (a claim he only partly denied on the phone with the DA) not by her name, but as "the hottie." (One New York paper, The New York Daily News, did do a cover story on a Weinstein accuser in 2015.)
It's not just that the press let the victims in the entertainment business hang in the wind—they let their own out there, vulnerable and without a voice. As Rebecca Traister explained in New York Magazine last week, she and another journalist (her then-boyfriend) from the New York Observer had an encounter with Harvey Weinstein where the man not only called her a cunt, but then physically assaulted one of the journalists so fiercely that it caused permanent injury to a bystander. And when did this encounter happen? 2000! The Observer isn't blameless here. Where was its response and why didn't it raise holy hell? (I was in high school, so I can't blame myself much). The paper has covered Harvey Weinstein many times over the years but no earth shattering exposé despite its first hand glimpse into the darkness. The New York Times covered the incident at the time, but only to give room to anonymous Miramax sources to blame the victims. And for New York Magazine who now published Traister's recounting? Not only have they profiled Weinstein at least four times since 2000 (and only one of the stories briefly mentions the assault) but apparently New York Magazine also had an exposé about Weinstein last year that they killed after meeting with him.
No doubt dodging this reckoning many times contributed to Harvey Weinstein's impression that he did not really have a problem and that he was not actually hurting people.
This is part of what makes it so galling that the New York Times followed up their now famous article not with any kind of critical self-reflection but with two different condescending articles castigating publicists and actors and movie producers for not standing up to Weinstein. I'm sorry but publicists aren't the ones who are given special First Amendment protections in our society. They are not the ones we depend on for truth, nor are they protected by lawyers and the ACLU. And that's why we don't expect the courageous pursuit of the truth from flacks—in fact, we expect the opposite. But even if the entire Hollywood industry is complicit in allowing Weinstein to operate in their midst, as Brook Barnes implies, the same can be said about the media and Roger Ailes or Bill O'Reilly.
Many reporters jumped on the fact that the lawyer representing Harvey Weinstein in a potential lawsuit against the New York Times is Charles Harder, the man who famously sued Gawker into bankruptcy last year. As if to say, if that hadn't happened, the media would have gotten this story right. It might be pretty to think so, but Gawker started in 2002. They could have investigated the same stories that I heard when I got my first job in Hollywood a decade ago and proved and publicized them—but they didn't. In 2015, Gawker did publish an open call for scoops about Weinstein but stopped short of any, you know, actual fearless reporting. They did however do lots of publishing of leaked naked photos over the years, in some cases, of the same kind of vulnerable actresses that Weinstein is accused of exploiting.
I've interviewed Charles several times, and though I am not sure why he has taken on this client, it's worth taking a minute to remember that the reason he was able to beat Gawker was because Gawker had run a stolen, surreptitiously recorded sex tape. It's worth remembering they felt it was worth millions and millions of dollars defending this tape (instead of taking it down and apologizing) and that this too was money not spent aggressively reporting on and potentially defending any stories about Harvey Weinstein. Meanwhile, plenty of less powerful people who are not intimidating to the media never got the initial benefit of the doubt—or begrudging respect—because there were fewer repercussions. Their stories produced an endless amount of meaningless "gotcha" scandals and kerfuffles that have come to dominate headlines across the web these days. The media—online and on TV—has congratulated themselves many times over the years for taking down another minor bad guy over some minor infraction (We nailed the Juicero guy!), meanwhile their coffers are not unfamiliar to revenue from the ad buys for Weinstein's films.
Now that someone has gone ahead and exposed Weinstein though, the media is rushing to overcover the story as if this isn't an implicit rebuke of their own previous decisions. For instance, since last Thursday, Variety has published nearly 30 stories about Harvey Weinstein and the scandal. At least one for every year they might have missed! The same outlets who claim they were previously unable to tell their readers and viewers the truth for legitimate legal reasons are suddenly freed up by the fact that a competitor has beaten them to the story? Yeah, OK.
Once blood is in the water…suddenly everyone is a hero. But before that, they're like the neighbors of Kitty Genovese.
Something similar happened with Bill Cosby. What was so amazing to me about the incredible swiftness with which the media turned on Bill Cosby was that it was another comedian who was brave enough to make a joke about Cosby on stage that triggered the piling on. Unlike with Weinstein, it wasn't a half-confession from the accused or another outlet nailing down the story that did it. Nor was it new information. In fact, the Cosby allegations, just like the Weinstein allegations appear to be, are the same accusations, the same alleged victims, the same rumors, the same second-hand reports that were available yesterday or last year or last decade.
These men are only now being crucified (rightly) in the court of public opinion, not out of a genuine sense of justice and moral outrage, but rather because the direction of the peer pressure has shifted, and the editors and producers who previously feared lawsuits or being frozen out by publicists are now willing to accept the risk.
It is deeply hypocritical for the media to demand calls for investigations into other industries, the way they hold other public facing individuals accountable for doing nothing, yet when faced with the shortcomings of their own industry, they write about everything but their own moral failings. The New York Times headline was "Harvey Weinstein's Media Enablers" but they neglected to mention their own gutting of a Weinstein story in 2004. In the case of Cosby, there are similar examples. Ta-Nehisi Coates who uses his eloquence to condemn people for not standing up to racism had spent months covering Bill Cosby in 2008 for The Atlantic, admits he knew about the allegations and believed them, but nevertheless did not stand up and do anything (let alone write) about it. In 2014, he finally did write about it…because Hannibal Buress's joke finally made telling the truth acceptable.
If there had been this kind of cowardice and complicity in any other industry, one can only imagine the outrage and condemnation that these same editors and reporters would be piling up. There is a line from Nassim Taleb: "If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud." The truth is that the media is full of frauds. People who talk big about justice, ethics, caring about the little guy. People who celebrate whistleblowers and condemn those who compromise or sit on the sidelines. But when it comes to how they run their own life or industry? Well, suddenly it's more complicated. Suddenly they want you to understand just how difficult it can be.
God forbid a United Airlines employee making a few bucks an hour follows policies that lead to a man being dragged off a plane. The employees and board members of Uber who didn't stand up to Travis Kalanick, or the investors who didn't single handedly take on the toxic culture in Silicon Valley—these people are easy to call cowards from behind a computer screen. It's always harder to look at our own role in these things, or our own failings in similar situations in our own lives. I've worked at places that have had problematic track records in this regard and I've not always been proud of how I handled it. But when it counted, I think I did the right thing. And going forward, I've tried to be empathetic to the troubled, conflicted, and no-good-options position that a lot of folks who "know things" find themselves in.
The difference here is that the media's incredible self-righteousness problem is directly related to its current credibility crisis. The difference is that private individuals don't have the same kinds of obligations that reporters have as members of the 4th Estate. And there are consequences for the media's failings and lack of self-awareness. If you're a poorly informed Trump supporter and looking to explain away his own allegations of sexual harassment, you know what you can say? You can say, "The media didn't care about standing up to Harvey Weinstein. They don't actually care about victims, this is just political opportunism." If you were a Fox News fan looking to defend the legacy of Roger Ailes, you can say the exact same thing. The calls now from the right to get Democratic donors to renounce Weinstein or to attack media figures who have been chummy with him might be self-serving but it isn't wrong. It's also exactly how many on the other side would act if right-wing billionaire or conservative media figure was exposed.
There's no reason to expect a mea culpa from the press, no reason to expect much change, or that they'll hold themselves to the high standards they hold others to. The chattering class seems to have their heads up their asses further by the day. Case in point, they are seeing Weinstein's fall as a cause for celebration, not as an opportunity for reflection.
So it falls to us as readers to understand how this process works and not participate in it. Because we are not only being misled, but we are being whipsawed by the guilty consciences and cognitive dissonance of media personalities who rarely admit their mistakes, rarely make changes based on those mistakes, and have anointed themselves as the inspector of other people's houses while their own is a disturbing mess.

in: Work, Films of the 1980s, Outrageous Fortune
Outrageous Fortune
Bette Midler and Shelley Long star in this female buddy picture from 1987. Long plays Lauren Ames, an actress whose ambition far outweighs her success despite her many years of taking classes; Midler plays Sandy Brozinsky, a fast-talking, foul-mouthed waitress from the wrong side of the tracks who horns her way into Lauren's exclusive drama class on a lark. Unbeknown to each other, Sandy and Lauren are both seeing the same impossibly perfect man, Michael Santers (Peter Coyote). When Michael inexplicably fakes his death, Sandy and Lauren wind up joining forces to track him down. A wacky, cross-country caper ensues, and both women discover that there's a lot more to the man they love--not to mention their suspiciously homicidal Russian acting coach--than they ever imagined.
Tropes used in Outrageous Fortune include:
Adults Dressed as Children: Lauren and Sandy sneak into a whorehouse thinking they're convincingly disguised as men; the madame takes them for thirteen-year-old boys. Our intrepid heroines run with it.
Madame: Does your daddy know you're here?
Lauren (in cowboy accent): Hell, yes, he told us where to come! Come, git it?
Bad Bad Acting: Practiced by all of Stan's students, as he enjoys pointing out.
Beware the Quiet Ones: Lauren, fed up with the mystery, kicks open a crackhouse door, waves a toy gun around (back in a day when toy guns looked real), and starts impersonating a cop. Even Sandy is shocked.
Briefcase Full of Money: Or, rather, a cute, ducky-emblazoned lunchbox full of money.
Butt Monkey: Frank. Also, anyone who takes Stanislav Korzenowsky's acting class.
Calling Your Orgasms: Michael's telltale chant of, "Oh God. Oh God. Ohhh God. Ohhhgod--OHHHGOD!!!"
Cheap Costume: The ladies are forced to improvise quite frequently.
Chekhov's Gun: The film is made of this. The climax, in fact, centers around pretty much everything we saw Lauren doing in her acting and ballet classes at the very beginning. (Also, Sandy's stolen Christmas tree ornament comes in pretty handy.)
Comically Missing the Point: Lauren holds a gun to Stan after he tries to kill her, then proceeds to berate him for making a mockery of the New York acting community.
Daddy's Girl: Lauren is this, as we see when she tries to borrow money for Korzenowsky's class from her parents. Her mother won't let her in the door; her father throws her a check from the window of their high-rise.
Defector From Commie Land: Stan's way of avoiding repercussions back in Mother Russia. He is even able to bargain for perks, including a condo on the Potomac and Redskins season tickets.
Disguised in Drag
Eighties Hair: Bette Midler's character. It's not teased or anything, but it is as wide as her shoulder-padded shoulders.
Fake Nationality: Robert Prosky is an American playing a Russian who, at one point, disguises himself as an American.
Stan (removing his mask): So. Some of us who teach can also do.
Gag Penis: Michael's defining physical characteristic, which is how Lauren and Sandy know the burned corpse at the morgue isn't him.
Groin Attack: Threatened by Sandy ("I'll shoot it off, Stan").
Gratuitous Russian
Hey, It's That Guy!: Murphy Brown's housepainter is dealing drugs!
Literary Allusion Title: It's derived from Hamlet.
Lovely Angels
Mugged for Disguise: Lauren and Sandy appropriate Frank's clothes. (At least they're nice enough to leave him their skirts and blouses.)
The Ophelia: Well, in a literal way: Sandy plays Ophelia in the production of Hamlet at the end.
The Power of Acting: It turns out that Lauren's many years of studying the theater pay off in tracking down Michael and foiling the bad guys.
Ransacked Room: The film plays this straight, then spoofs it. First, the two women go to Lauren's apartment while it's being ransacked. After a daring escape, they head to Sandy's place to find it a complete mess as well. Lauren cries, "Oh, no, they've been here!" and tries to run, but Sandy grabs her and says, "Nobody's been here. This is normal."
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Sandy is red, and Lauren is blue.
Rogue Agent: What Michael turns out to be.
Scary Black Man: Lauren and Sandy's cab driver.
Sdrawkcab Name: Sort of. Stan's name is almost the reverse of real-life actor Constantin Stanislavsky.
Shakespearean Actors: What Lauren aspires to be. Her ambition is to play Hamlet, which she finally accomplishes at the end of the film.
Stoners Are Funny: Especially when they're played by George Carlin.
Teeny Weenie: The unfortunate fellow at the morgue, falsely identified as Michael, as Sandy tries to explain to the cops.
Sandy: Do the words "needle-dick," "the bugfucker" mean anything to you?
The Eighties: Check out those opening credits.
Universal Poison: What Michael stole. Specifically, a green toxin that will destroy all vegetation around the world with just a few drops.
We Need a Distraction: How about emptying an entire lunchbox filled with money into a crowd of waiting airline passengers?
Wham! Line: "Nine years of ballet, asshole!"

Adaptogenic plants are non-toxic, there are a result of thousand of years of adaptation process and it's an alternative to all those chemistry people take.
It began with a decade of medical-humanitarian assignments in war zones—harsh, natural environments with the most hygiene-challenged and disease-ridden regions worldwide—where we came into close contact with indigenous, resilient, and resourceful people with in-depth knowledge and understanding of adaptogenic and nutraceutical-like plants. A collection of plants emerged: resistant, versatile, nutrient-rich, strong, and sublime in the adaptation process from their respective regional growth conditions (e.g., soil, altitude, moisture, temperature, absence or surplus of growth substances). For hundreds of years, these adaptogenic plants have been significant for survival. Throughout the centuries, they became included entities in traditional medicine, but have also been used as substances to treat deficiencies as well as to enrich and enhance the body and mind.
Projecting into our own modern lifestyle, we perceive a different definition of the word "deficiency". Less as a shortage of sustenance, as in classical sense, due to external factors e.g. extreme climate conditions, natural or modern catastrophes, extreme poverty, epidemics etc., modern-day deficiencies evolved from our current way of life e.g. through additional stress stemming from work and family demands as well as societal dynamics (trends, specific dietary dogma, etc.). Therefore, in addition to other countermeasures like sports, yoga, and meditation, adaptogenic and nutraceutical-like plants play a major role in stabilizing, strengthening, and enriching our body and mind; thereby promoting a more robust immune system, prolonging performance capabilities, and enhancing libido as possible outcomes.
During our active years as doctors for humanitarian projects, limited budgets, political upheavals, natural catastrophes, and epidemics created major obstacles to [safely] obtaining adequate medicine, supplements, and even water. The people were starkly weakened, both physically and mentally, and sometimes it became a race against time. In a time of crisis, life-changing and creative ideas often came from the people themselves, who were using adaptogenic and nutraceutical-like plants known to and trusted by them for centuries. While hunting for plants in their respective environments, we gained first-hand experience and a deep understanding of how evolution and adaption must have shaped the plants that managed to survive and thrive under these circumstances over the course of centuries. It was as if Nature created its very own bespoke survival composition.
Using adaptogenic and nutraceutical-like plants as a supportive and long-term add-on treatment has proven extremely effective. We witnessed reduced incidence and severity of sickness, quicker recuperation, and enhanced resilience. The general improvement of physical, sexual, and mental health has also been reported. Artefact's Concept is a bespoke adaptogenic product borne of this experience. Using nature's very own made-to-order composition from different regions, the aim is less presentation of a supplement solely for deficiencies and more a stabilizing, strengthening, enriching, and combative complement to our modern, demanding, and thus stress-burdened lifestyle.


Safeway recently asked some food bloggers to try out some of their recipes from their holiday recipe collection and I was happy to be chosen to create a dish. I know if you read food blogs like mine you know about the Internet as a source for recipes, but you might not have thought to search on grocery store pages for recipes. In fact, they have a ton of recipes, most using only a few ingredients easily found in the store (a plus), and most fairly straightforward for the busy home cook. When I'm cooking for the holidays, at times I like to create elaborate multi-course meals but for other dinners I like to have a go-to dish that can be prepped ahead of time, thrown in the oven, and will cook while I socialize with my guests. This pork tenderloin recipe is one of the latter ones, and that's why I chose it during this busy holiday.
…while you sear the pork tenderloin. Add the tenderloin to the vegetables, pour an apple cider glaze over the top, and roast the whole dish together. It was night time and my guests were hungry, so I didn't capture a cooked photo (meat doesn't always photograph well anyway!), but I promise you this is easy and elegant at the same time. You can make this for a weeknight family dinner or save it for a holiday party. Hope you like it!
3. Season pork with remaining salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Pour reduced cider over pork and transfer to oven. Bake, basting occasionally with cider, until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 145 degrees, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, tent pan with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
4. Serve pork sliced, accompanied by cider pan juices and roasted vegetables.
Wow, this looks delicious, Michele! I'll have to put that on my list to make.

Anti-Racist Author
https://www.speakoutnow.org/speaker/wise-tim
Ignorance of how we are shaped racially is the first sign of privilege. In other words. It is a privilege to ignore the consequences of race in America." ― Tim Wise
Tim Wise is among the most prominent anti-racist writers and educators in the United States. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states, on over 1500 college and high school campuses, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences, and to community groups across the country.
Wise has also trained corporate, government, entertainment, media, law enforcement, military, and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racial inequity in their institutions, and has provided anti-racism training to educators and administrators nationwide and internationally, in Canada and Bermuda.
Wise is the author of nine books, including his latest, Dispatches from the Race War (City Lights Books). Other books include Under the Affluence, Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority and Colorblind (all from City Lights Books); his highly-acclaimed memoir, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, (recently updated and re-released by Soft Skull Press); Affirmative Action: Racial Preference in Black and White; Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections From an Angry White Male; and Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama.

Keynote Speaker: Good Intentions are Not Enough: Undoing Racism in the Helping Professions


Small but mighty Macedonia is the mouse that roared this year, declaring war on George Soros, 86, and his US Government handmaidens, who, incredibly, have financed a left-wing agenda to divide the nation and bring a socialist-Muslim coalition to power.
It was the kind of Obama Administration manipulation that was so routine that it passed unnoticed in 2012, when USAID/Skopje selected Soros' Foundation Open Society Macedonia (FOSM) to manage $2.5 million in taxpayer dollars earmarked for oxymoronic "democracy building," an amount increased to $4.8 million two years later.
As we speak, and yes, I mean currently, Macedonia's Open Society Foundation is a USAID partner recruiting candidates for "Youth Engagement Support (YES) grants" — concept papers were due five daysafter Donald J. Trump's inauguration. It's some part of a $9.5 million, five-year "civic engagement" boondoggle kicked off last year, which surely would be squelched if the Tillerson State Department were running on all cylinders.
Collusion between the Hungarian-American billionaire and the US against Macedonia's national interest is outlined on the website, StopSoros.mk, launched in late January by journalists in Skopje, the capital city and, incidentally, birthplace of Mother Teresa.
It is natural that half of Washington works as lobbyists for foreign governments: Israeli, the UK, Macedonia, Germany. It is acceptable to speak with any country aside from Russia, says Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute.
The chief of the US House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, has apologized to committee members for disclosing information on surveillance relating to Donald Trump.
Nunes revealed, before telling his committee colleagues, that communications involving the Trump campaign team may have been intercepted by intelligence agencies.
RT: Why has Nunes been forced to apologize? Did he break any rules by telling the President his team was being surveilled?
Daniel McAdams: It might have been technically poor etiquette not revealing it to his fellow committee members. But look at how his fellow committee members are behaving on the Democratic side of the aisle about this whole thing. Letting the cat out of the bag early to them would have just opened him up to the kind of attacks that we are seeing right now. You reveal something that is absolutely earth-shattering if true, of Watergate proportions, that the Obama administration was spying on Trump and the transition team, and what do the Democrats say? Investigate the guy who told us this, who found this out. It is completely preposterous, so why bother telling them anyway? They are not following the proper protocol either.
The allegation – now accepted as incontrovertible fact by the "mainstream" media – that the Russian intelligence services hacked the Democratic National Committee (and John Podesta's emails) in an effort to help Donald Trump get elected recently suffered a blow from which it may not recover.
Crowdstrike is the cybersecurity company hired by the DNC to determine who hacked their accounts: it took them a single day to determine the identity of the culprits – it was, they said, two groups of hackers which they named "Fancy Bear" and "Cozy Bear," affiliated respectively with the GRU, which is Russian military intelligence, and the FSB, the Russian security service.
Fool Me Once: Crowdstrike Claimed Two Cases Of 'Russian Hacking.' One Has Been Proven Wrong.
The cyber-security company Crowdstrike claimed that the "Russia" hacked the Democratic National Committee. It also claimed that "Russia" hacked artillery units of the Ukrainian army. The second claim has now be found to be completely baseless. That same is probably the case with its claims related to the DNC.
Sometime around May 2016 the Democratic National Committee lost control over its email archives. It claimed that its servers had been "hacked" by someone related to Russian interests. DNC emails were published by Wikileaks and provided that the DNC had worked during the primaries against its statutes and in favor of one presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. The DNC chair was forced to resign over the case.
The DNC had called in Crowdstrike, a company led by a one Dimitry Alperovich, a Senior Fellow of the NATO aligned "think tank" Atlantic Council. After a short investigation Crowdstrike claimed to found intruding software on the DNC servers that, it says, has been exclusively used by Russian intelligence services. From there followed claims that "Russia hacked the U.S. elections."
When the DNC went public with the Crowdstrike claims the FBI never requested access to the servers to determine if a crime had been committed and to detect the culprit. Access to the servers had been informally denied by the DNC. The FBI simply followed (pdf), without any own forensic investigation of its own, the conclusions Crowdstrike had made.
Is North Korea An 'Imminent Threat'?
Washington insiders are attempting to undermine the presidency by having a continual investigation, and it's unbelievably irresponsible, Daniel McAdams, executive director at Ron Paul Institute told RT.
FBI Director James Comey has admitted the agency is investigating suspected collusion between President Trump and Russia, something which had not been publicly confirmed until now. Comey and other intelligence chiefs testified before Congress on Monday about claims Russia meddled in last year's US presidential election.
House Russia Hearing: Revelations Or More Speculation?
The Israeli air attacks on Friday near Palmyra in Syria targeting what Tel Aviv claims to be a convoy ferrying weapons for Hezbollah in Lebanon – and what Damascus alleges was a calculated act directed against the positions of the government forces fighting the Islamic State active in the region – cannot be regarded as a "stand-alone" event.
On the face of it, the Israeli claim lacks credibility since Palmyra is twice removed from the Syrian-Lebanon border in terms of geographical proximity. Possibly, Syrian government has a point that the Israelis were deliberately targeting its forces. This explains why Russian Foreign Ministry called in the Israeli ambassador in Moscow on the same day and sought explanation.
Evidently, some "ground rule" as per the unwritten Russian-Israeli understanding over Syrian frontlines has been breached and Moscow took note. In previous instances when Israel attacked Hezbollah – even assassinating its top commanders fighting on Syrian frontlines – Moscow had looked away. But this time around, it promptly signaled displeasure. It stands to reason that Israel crossed some "red line."

The Maine Warden Service says Jeffrey Aylward's family had not heard from him since July 23, and reported him missing last Saturday evening. Officials say that Aylward, whose trail name was "Dusty Pilgrim," began his hike on July 1 at Pinkham Notch near the Maine-New Hampshire border and was headed to Mt. Katahdin.
A warden found Aylward's body Monday morning in his tent, which was about 50 feet off the trail. Authorities say Aylward has had health issues, and they don't believe his death is suspicious.

Raised toilet seats make it easier to transition on and off a toilet. They are usually placed on top of the toilet and give a lift of anywhere between 2 -6 inches in height. A raised toilet seat means the user will not have to bend as much and will make standing easier and safer.
Arms: Do you need arm support on the toilet seat itself? Will you be using a toilet safety frame that bolts into the back of your toilet seat? Arms on the toilet seat are closer together than using one without arms together with a toilet safety frame.
Style: Do you need a round seat or an elongated one- it must match the style of your toilet bowl. Do you require one with that locks to the toilet bowl or will one that perches on the bowl suffice?
Raised toilet seats are another cost effective product to remain safe in the bathroom!


(As Long as You Say "I Will" to a Few Rules).
Jackson Square is a public park which means it may be used for smallish weddings as long as you secure the written permission of the Department of Parks and Parkways. But there's a hitch to getting hitched there: The Square must remain open to the public. The good news is only one wedding or event is allowed in the Square at a time, so you won't have to fight with event coordinators, film producers or another bride for space.
You can get married here, but the reception has to be elsewhere. No food or drink is allowed in Jackson Square before, during or after the ceremony.
At least two weeks in advance, you must submit a formal Booking Request Form detailing the date, time, number of guets, number of chairs, music, runners, podiums and any other items you'd like to bring. This form can be found at the link above or by calling 504-658-3200.
You must put down a non-refundable $50 processing fee before reservations are scheduled. You may also need additional permits. For more information visit the Parks & Shelter Permits page.
Upon receipt of the booking request form, you will receive a letter of permission/approval detailing the deadline for fees/deposits and provisions to be met.
A litter/damage deposit is required but you'll get it back if you've complied with all the rules and all vendors and other parties involved have vacated the premises on time. All litter including flowers and rose petal must be removed immediately after the ceremony. In the land of red beans and rice, rice is strictly prohibited as is birdseed. Provided there's no damage to the square's plant materials, fixtures or any other park amenity, you'll get your deposit back.
All second line parades require a special permit from the NOPD. Contact Sgt. Walter Powers, Jr. with NOPD Special Events and Permits at (504) 658-6243.
A copy of the permission letter must be presented to Parkways staff upon arrival in the square.
A small three to four-piece ensemble may play up to three selections during the entire ceremony. No amplified music is allowed.
Only the paved portions of the Square may be used. You may set up stanchions and chairs no more than one hour before the ceremony, and they must be removed immediately after the event. The limit of 100 chairs must be adhered to in order to avoid forfeiture of deposit.
For up-to-date information on usage fees and litter/damage deposits, click here.

The Effect of Flow Rates on Predation of Donax variabilis by Luidia clathrata
Acta Spartae
Volume 5, No. 1, 2021
Cacace, Rachel; Detmering, Sarah; Vaillancourt, Gabrielle
DOI: https://doi.org/10.48497/wcj2-gp66
The slender armed sea star (Luidia clathrata) and coquina (Donax variabilis) are found along the shorelines of the temperate waters of Tampa Bay. Sea stars have heightened reception to chemical cues and the intermediate disturbance hypothesis was tested in this study. Different induced flow w rates similar to those in Tampa Bay (stagnant, low flow fow, and high flow w) were tested on predation choice of sea stars on coquina clams. This experiment was achieved by using a flow w bar in a ten-gallon tank of synthetic seawater kept at 34 parts per thousand (ppt). One dead and one live coquina were placed on opposite ends of the tank, and the seastar was placed in the center. Flow rates were changed over a series of treatments, and each feeding regime was timed. The findings of this study suggest that there is no significant difference in flow w rate when compared to predation time, as well as no association between prey choice (dead vs. alive) and flow w rate. Additionally, behavior on choice was observed and found that there was no significant difference in flow w rate and foraging behavior. These findings indicate that predation on coquina by slender armed sea star is not dependent on flow w rate and that there is no association of prey choice. Results should be used to propagate further research on other observed predators to determine if these organisms purposely choose the scavenging technique in order to expend less energy on feeding behaviors.

/*
 * Breeze Angular Module ("breeze.angular") containing the "breeze" service
 * for preparing breeze applications to work with angular.
 *
 * The "breeze" that tells Breeze to
 * - use $q for its promises rather than Q.js
 * - use $http for AJAX calls.
 *
 * The object returned by the service is the breeze client object
 *
 * Implemented with an Angular provider so that you
 * can configure some of Breeze during the launch 'config' phase.
 *
 * However, you must at least depend on this service after the angular config phase
 * so that Breeze can learn about the $q and $http services for the app
 * as these services only become available during the 'run' phase.
 *
 * Install:
 *   1) load this script after the breeze script (e.g. breeze.debug.js)
 *   2) make your app module depend upon the 'breeze.angular' module
 *   3) ensure some component depends on 'breeze' service before calling a breeze function,
 * --------------------------------------------
 * Example #1: Configure when app boots
 *
 * // Make the app depend on the 'breeze.angular' module
 * var app = angular.module('app', [
 *     'breeze.angular'
 *     // ... other dependencies ...
 * ]);
 *
 * // Ensure that breeze is minimally configured by loading it when app runs
 * app.run(['breeze', function (breeze) { }]); // do nothing but you could
 *
 * --------------------------------------------
 * Example #2: Configure in 'config' phase and on first use of breeze
 *
 * // Make the app depend on the 'breeze.angular' module
 * var app = angular.module('app', [
 *     'breeze.angular'
 *     // ... other dependencies ...
 * ]);
 *
 * // Configure static features of breeze through its "provider"
 * app.config(['breezeProvider', function (bp) {
 *   // Convert server-side PascalCase to client-side camelCase property names
 *   bp.NamingConvention.camelCase.setAsDefault();
 * }]);
 *
 * ... elsewhere ...
 *
 * // Depend on the breeze service when app runs so Breeze gets app's $q and $http
 * // The 'entityManagerFactory' is a good choice to inject it because
 * // the first use of breeze probably involves the EntityManager.
 * angular.module('app').factory('entityManagerFactory', ['breeze', emFactory]);
 *
 * function emFactory(breeze) {
 *
 *   // Identify the endpoint for the remote data service
 *   var serviceRoot = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/';
 *   var serviceName = serviceRoot + 'breeze/breeze'; // breeze Web API controller
 *
 *   var factory = {
 *     newManager: function() {return new breeze.EntityManager(serviceName);},

From Wall Street to Walker Evans
Ditching Careers, Some
Turn a Longtime Passion
Into a Profitable New Life
By Laura Landro
June 8, 2007 12:01 am ET
After launching a successful natural-gas and electricity brokerage firm on Wall Street in the 1990s, Bruce Silverstein was making a seven-figure income by his mid-20s. But while he enjoyed building the business, the trading world left him miserable. "I couldn't convert any of the money into happiness," he says.
Though not yet financially secure enough to retire, Mr. Silverstein amassed enough of a cushion to take a risk with a business that tapped into his real passion in life: photography. He quit trading and, in April 2001, opened a small gallery in a 500-square-foot studio on the first floor of a townhouse on West 22nd Street in New York; today, Silverstein Photography is in a space 10 times that size a few blocks away, on the hottest block in the sizzling Chelsea art district, selling works from iconographic photographers like the late Hungarian-born André Kertész alongside edgy emerging artists.
Ditching the corporate life to pursue a personal passion is a dream for many executives and entrepreneurs, whether they make a windfall on Wall Street, take a golden parachute or sell their start-up. And if that passion can translate into more financial success, all the better. Of all the passions to cash in on, the art market seems a potent place to make a second fortune these days: A flood of new collectors and a weak U.S. dollar have driven prices to new highs. Photography prices, though not in the same stratosphere as paintings, are setting records, especially for the vintage prints in which Mr. Silverstein specializes. Some fine-art photographs that sold for a few thousand dollars in the 1980s can now fetch $1 million or more.
A Tough Slog
But as Mr. Silverstein and others who have jumped into the art business can attest, it takes deep pockets, patience and plenty of determination to break into the famously clubby art world -- and higher prices are translating into more competitive scrambles for salable works. Finding and nurturing new artists whose work can sell at prices high enough to justify mounting their shows is tough. And outside major cities, luring buyers is a challenge.
Just ask Ben Gall, who left a career heading smaller high-technology companies and, at age 54, started Holland Art House in 2002 in West Chester, Pa., a historic city 25 miles southwest of Philadelphia. Born in the Netherlands, he wanted to sell works of the contemporary Dutch artists he collected, including abstract landscape painter Luc Leestemaker. But it was a tough slog in a competitive market, where 12 galleries that started in recent years have been whittled to three.

Berliner Farben is a new web series about PoC & the LGBTQ community, minus the stereotypes
Article by Kemi
CRUSHING ON...
Art by Berliner Farben (Akinyi, Ron, Halima, Gizem & Lúcia aka hoe__mies)
Fed up with the lack of representation in German mainstream media, the filmmaker Poliana Baumgarten decided to take matters into her own hands and start Berliner Farben, a web series that tells authentic stories of PoC & LBGTQ activists.
What inspired you to start Berliner Farben?
I started Berliner Farben out of desperation. As a teenager, I realized that in Germany PoC are rarely presented in the media. And if they are then it is done in a very stereotypical way. That's why I wanted to create a platform where PoC are portrayed and their individual stories and voices count.
Why did you choose to tell these stories through a web series?
I wanted to create an endless web series because the perspectives that you find in Berlin are endless as well. Each episode is about one individual story that is unique. Apart from that I really enjoy filmmaking and love creating certain moods and vibes through the mix of moving images combined with music and real stories.
Did other web series, such as Cecile Emeke's "Strolling" influence you?
Absolutely! It is one of the rare series that represents PoC in a way that is raw, relatable and real. No stereotypes, just pure empowerment. The camerawork and the grading is absolutely beautiful too. Her way of storytelling is pure art.
What are the differences and similarities (in terms of culture, community, platforms for PoC in Berlin vs London)?
While shooting episodes I got in contact with lots of PoC who have lived in London before moving to Berlin and they all told me that it was easier for them not to attract attention all the time because of the way they looked. Of course, racism exists everywhere but I got the impression that London might be an easier environment for PoC than Berlin. That's why it is even more important to strengthen our communities here, so people can get good energy and feel empowered. It's weird that people in Germany and especially in Berlin like to act like racism isn't a thing only because they eat foreign food every once in a while and have traveled to different countries, when only very few people actively take actions to dismantle racism.
Why did you decide to focus on interviewing activists?
Being an activist in any form comes with struggles and people hardly ever get compensated for it. If I can help to make their voices and work being heard just a little bit more, I'm happy to carry on.
How did people react to Berliner Farben?
People who are affected by racism and discrimination reacted very positively. And I got messages from people who have never dealt with these topics but really enjoyed the episodes as a sort of eye-opener. That made me really happy because my intention was to also reach people who haven't dealt with the topics Berliner Farben addresses, so they take something away and and learn from it. Every once in a while I have to delete racist troll comments from the videos but that's all.
What's the best thing that happened since you started the project?
The greates thing about this project is that people who were either a part of it or have seen it thanked me for creating this platform – and that is the best reward I could ever get. Seeing that people are moved by the project is why I started it in the first place.
Are you still filming, producing and editing all episodes by yourself?
I am a one woman army and plan to continue like this. It's a lot of work and recently I've had many other commitments, which is why production fell short for the last weeks – but I'll continue to publish more episodes soon.

Today's #VeteranOfTheDay is Air Force Veteran Tearched Henry Scott III. Tearched served from 1980 to 1992.
Tearched was born and raised in Chicago, Ill. He joined the United States Air Force in 1980 and was sent to Lackland Air Force Base, Texas for basic training. In January 1983, Tearched became the first African American in the Air Force to serve in the position of a wing historian for the 19th Bombardment Wing at Robins Air Force Base. Tearched was then sent to the Air Force Noncommissioned Officer Academy and graduated as valedictorian with honors. He then went to school at Barksdale Air Force Base, Neb. and Gunter Air Force Base, Ala. in order to perfect his writing skills.
Upon returning to Robins Air Force Base, Tearched served for three years as the Noncommissioned Officer In Charge of the Robins Air Force Base Honor Guard. His writing skills were in a detailed account of the entire Grenada invasion by the United States Armed Forces, which was later featured and archived at the Air Force Historical Research Development Center in Gunter Air Force Base.
In 1986, Tearched received a special assignment to be the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing Historian at Hahn Air Base in West Germany. From April 1986 to June 1992, he was assigned continue his work as a wing historian, including writing about the Desert Storm Campaign in 1991. In total, Tearched penned 24 books during his tenure in the Air Force. After leaving active duty in June 1992, Tearched stayed in Germany for another two years and became the Regional Security Manager of the Army Air Force Exchange Services in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Today, Tearched lives in Atlanta, where he volunteers his time and money to feeding and clothing less fortunate Veterans. He has also written and directed plays for veteran groups in Atlanta. Tearched is an International Award Winning Toastmaster and has been invited to be a featured guest and motivational speaker to uplift the spirits of groups of Veterans. Tearched spearheads two programs at his local church; the first of which is to recognize the veterans and their families who have paid the ultimate price, and the other program recognizes those who have served honorably in the Armed Forces. Most recently, Tearched was recognized, in August 2018, at the East Point, Veteran Association Clinic in Georgia for his story of overcoming homelessness to become a successful man.
Thank you for your service, Tearched!
Been trying to get a settlement for five years, every year I'm in worse shape and more problems, but no help with my appeal. Thanks to the The head Racist at the DAV bay pines, and his friends at other DAV locations, American Legion and the VA itself, rely on false reports to keep me from setteling claims. I've been on the back burner for five years. I have major Headache problems due to crushed neck bones while in the service, my Dr agrees I shuld be at 100%, and major back problems due to major leg and knee problems for 20 years, and a recent knee surgeon's foul up on Knee surgery due to poisning in my veins while laying in the hospital for three months getting dirty dialysis. But the VA will not admit what she did wrong.
