NZ team to take part in Gaza convoy August 09, 2010
The Israeli government says it will stop any attempts to break its blockade of Gaza as a Kiwi team prepares to travel to the Middle East.
Kia Ora Gaza has announced a six-man team which will join a massive convoy from London to deliver aid to the besieged Palestinian territory.
The team's captain 61-year-old Roger Fowler, from Auckland, says they are hopeful of making a difference. "People from all over the world, even the Prime Minister of Britain say this siege must be stopped, the blockade must be stopped."
The Kiwi team is joining a land-based mission and will see the Kiwis join a 500-vehicle aid convoy into Gaza, through the Egyptian border town of Rafah.
But the Israeli ambassador to New Zealand, Shemi Dzur calls the move provocative.
"This is really really unnecessary, it just creates tension," he told ONE News.
Dzur said the team should deliver its aid through an Israeli or Egyptian port, as requested by the Israeli government.
"If they want to bring any goods to Gaza they are welcome to bring it through the ports of Ashdod in Israel or the ports of Egypt. It will be screened to make sure no explosives," he said.
But the convoy organisers - Viva Palestina - say they do not trust Israel to deliver the aid.
The Kia Ora Gaza team says they were driven to do something after Israeli forces shot and killed nine Turkish aid workers on board a ship sailing in an aid flotilla, in May. Israeli forces defended their action, saying they fired in response to an attack by the Turks onboard. Sir Geoffrey Palmer is currently leading an independent UN inquiry into the incident.
But Dzur believes there is more to the Kiwi involvement that the group states.
"This is not a natural Kiwi operation - this is really a hatred kind of operation to undermine Israel," he said.
Israel says the convoy will not be allowed to enter the way it plans. It blames the suffering on Gaza's ruling Hamas party and says any support of them undermines the peace process.
The aid convoy sets off next month.
Hamas stopping aid for Gaza
by Whaleoil on June 3, 2010 ·
Hamas doesn't seem to want any of the aid that was aboard the flotilla that Israel stopped and searched. After clearing the contents of the ship the aid supplies were loaded aboard trucks and sent to the border of Gaza. Hamas has refused entry of the trucks.
As of right now, the State of Israel has loaded 20 trucks with various types of aid found onboard the flotilla. Expired medication, clothing, blankets, some medical equipment and toys were among the aid found on the ships.
Unfortunately, the Hamas terror organization is unwilling to accept the cargo and the trucks filled with humanitarian aid have not been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. It appears that Hamas is in fact stopping the transfer of the humanitarian aid.
And here was me thinking that the aid supplies were critical to the survival of Gazans. Silly me, seems Hamas just wants to score political points. Of course the useful idiots in the media will repeat the Hamas line that it is Israel that is stoppng aid.

Turks mourn Gaza flotilla "martyrs" June 04, 2010
Six New Zealanders will be part of a global group attempting to get aid into Gaza.
The team, called Kia Ora Gaza, will leave London in September as part of a convoy of hundreds of vehicles and a flotilla of ships.
Queen's Service Medal recipient Roger Fowler heads up the New Zealand contingent, with his 25-year-old son Hone also taking part. They will be joined by photojournalist Chris van Ryn, human rights observer Julie Webb-Pullman and social justice campaigner Pat O'Dea. Mousa Taher, who has a Palestinian father, is the sixth team member.
Despite nine people being killed just months ago for doing something similar, the group says there is strength in numbers.
The 500-vehicle convoy will travel through Egypt into Gaza's Rafah crossing next month, to deliver aid.
Van Ryn says the flotilla raid by Israeli forces in May was a catalyst for action. He says it is a tragic situation, but it has given Gaza supporters a stronger voice.
Van Ryn is both excited and apprehensive about taking part, but believes the rewards from taking part in the convoy outweigh the risks.
The point I particularly want to make from all this is that all Europeans and those who have European blood lines have their roots in Israel . Check the history if you must but the only reason it is not commonly known is because it is not taught and people are too lazy to learn themselves . Israel as we know it today is Jewish , the tribes of Judah and Benjamin who split from the other ten tribes who then dispersed throughout Asia and Europe .
The split has never been mended so anything anyone from NZ ( predominantly Europeanised ) does against the Jews is deliberately agravating that split , not bringing peace as they suppose in their histrionic way .

DO THEY REALLY WANT TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO DO THIS DELIBERATE , SENSELESS KIND OF MURDERING SLAUGHTER .
Hamas claims responsibility for 2nd W.Bank attack
By JPOST.COM STAFF AND YAAKOV LAPPIN
Shot fired at a vehicle near Rimonim Junction injuring two, one in serious condition; in Washington, Abbas denounces latest terror attacks.
The military wing of Palestinian terrorist group Hamas claimed responsibility for Wednesday night's drive-by shooting near Rimonim Junction in the West Bank that left two Israelis wounded, Israel Radio reported Thursday.
Shots were reportedly fired at a vehicle traveling in the area between the settlement Kochav Yaakov and Rimonim Junction.
Abbas: We don't want one drop of blood to be shed
Obama: Kiryat Arba attack was 'senseless slaughter'

Netanyahu urges settlers to show restraint, respect law
Judea and Samaria Police officers who arrived on the scene found an Israeli vehicle with bullet marks. "The vehicle descended down a nearby slope," police said. The officers who arrived in the area found one person seriously injured and another person slightly injured.
Magen David Adom rushed the two Israelis to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem; a man aged around 30 in moderate to serious condition suffering from a gunshot wound to the knee, and a woman aged around 30 who was injured in the resulting accident. Both are conscious and stable, paramedics said.
Security forces were on the scene searching for the terrorists' vehicle.
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas during his Wednesday night speech at the White House denounced the terror attacks against Israeli civilians in the West Bank on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"We [the Palestinian Authority] are not interested in spilling Israeli blood. We want the two peoples to live regular lives in real peace," Abbas said.
The shooting came the day after four Israelis were killed Tuesday night in a devastating Hamas shooting attack in the West Bank believed to have been aimed at torpedoing the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks set to kick off on Wednesday in Washington DC.
The four victims, described by a settler spokesman as a couple and two hitchhikers – were driving on Route 60 near the entrance to Kiryat Arba when their vehicle came under fire. The victims were named as Yitzhak Ames, 47, and his wife Tali Ames, 45, Kochava Even-Haim, 37, and Avishai Schindler, 24, all from Beit Hagai. The Ames couple had six children, including a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler.

Hi Chris , I was beginning to think you had deserted me too .
I agree they are both doing things the wrong way round but that is what the secular world does . NZ , too , has blood on it's hands we could say . At least the Jews strive for peace , not so the terrorist organisations .
Hope we'll see you round still .
News flash . I need some aid right here in our own country .
Last night all my glasshouse seedloings were trashed by vandals . This means a loss of several thousand dollars worth of income and may well mean bankruptcy .
My daughters seedlings too as she was embarking on a new career as aflower grower . ( she has some special needs )
Howevr both of us have CMT and it takes us alot longer to do all this work than most people and is often quite painful .
How about some aid over here for some kiwis ??

Photo by: ASSOCIATED PRESS Analysis: Hamas stuck between peace talks and the IDF
By YAAKOV KATZ
Terror group has made strategic decision to increase attacks against Israel, but doesn't want to go too far and lead to IDF ground operation.
Hamas is on the horns of a dilemma. On the one hand it has made a strategic decision to increase its terror attacks against Israel – 10 rockets were fired into Israel on Wednesday – in order to torpedo the peace talks between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
On the other hand, Hamas does not want to go too far with its attacks, to the point that Israel will feel compelled to send two IDF divisions into Gaza and carry out Operation Cast Lead II.
Barrage of rockets, mortar shells from Gaza hits South
Editorial: A message for Hamas
As a result, Hamas in recent weeks has allowed the jaljalat (Arabic for thunder) groups – al-Qaida and global jihad proxies based in Gaza and made up mostly of former Hamas operatives – to launch attacks into Israel.
While it has given these groups the green light for small operations, it is also restraining them and not allowing large attacks that could end in many casualties on the Israeli side and force the IDF back into Gaza.
Hamas's hope is that these attacks will torpedo the peace talks, although the meeting on Wednesday at the prime minister's official residence in Jerusalem between Netanyahu and Abbas is an indication that the terror group's efforts are not, for the moment, succeeding.
For the same reason, Hamas claimed responsibility for the shooting attack two weeks ago near Hebron that killed four Israelis, although the IDF is still not certain that Hamas was behind it.
There are, however, additional factors. Hamas in Gaza is torn between two camps. The first is the political echelon led by Ismail Haniyeh, which is believed to be more in favor of restraint because it fears a harsh Israeli response.
The second camp is led by Hamas's military wing Izzadin Kassam and its chief Ahmed Jabari, who is pushing to return to the days before Cast Lead, pre- December 2008, when it was firing dozens of rockets a day.
While Hamas's focus is on rebuilding damaged infrastructure and obtaining new longrange rockets, the military wing is genuinely frustrated with the restrictions placed on its freedom to attack Israel.
In contrast to the media, the IDF did not make a big deal Wednesday about the firing of at least two mortar shells containing phosphorus into Israel. Firstly, it is not the first time that phosphorus mortar shells were fired into Israel – it happened during Cast Lead – and secondly, the assessment within the Southern Command is that the group that fired the shells did not even know that they contained phosphorus.
As a matter of fact, phosphorus shells contain less explosives than regular ones and therefore create less shrapnel. On the other hand, they are highly flammable.
Israel, for its part, plans to continue with its current policy, which can be described as an "eye-for-an-eye."
On the one hand, Israel will strike back at Gaza, as it did Wednesday afternoon by bombing a terror tunnel in southern Gaza, but on the other hand, it will not, at this stage, launch a major operation on the ground inside Gaza.
This stems from intelligence assessments that the current wave of violence will run out following the Jewish holiday season in a little over a week. The belief is that Hamas is letting its operatives and proxies let off steam from a month of Ramadan when it did not really attack Israel at all.
The same intelligence assessments predict, though, that while this wave will soon end, it will not be the last and as the peace talks pick up speed and progress, so will the terrorism from Gaza.

IDF predicts wave of rockets from Strip, including 10 yesterday, will end after Succot; IAF bombs south Gaza tunnel, killing 1
The attacks from the Gaza Strip escalated on Wednesday with 10 rockets and mortar shells fired into Israel – including two containing phosphorus – as defense officials predicted that the violence would quiet down after Succot.
The violence peaked as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met in Jerusalem with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for the first time since the launch of the new round of peace talks in Washington two weeks ago.
IAF bombs Gaza after Rosh Hashana Kassam attacks
10th rocket hits South since High Holidays began
Rockets and shells pounded the Eshkol region throughout the day. One of the rockets – a 122-mm. Katyusha – hit just north of Ashkelon. No injuries or damage were reported.
Gazan rocket attacks have been increasing since before Rosh Hashana, understood by the IDF to be part of a Hamas attempt to torpedo the peace talks with the PA.
The assessment within Military Intelligence is that the wave of increased terror will continue until the Jewish holiday season finishes at the end of the month.
The IDF does not attribute too much significance to the use of phosphorus mortar shells, which have been fired into Israel in the past, most recently during Operation Cast Lead in January 2009. The assumption in the IDF Southern Command is that the group that fired the mortars did not know that they contained phosphorus. These shells carry less explosive material than standard mortars, but are highly flammable.
In response to the attacks, the air force – working on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) – bombed a tunnel in southern Gaza that the IDF said was to be used by Hamas to infiltrate terrorists into Israel. One Palestinian was reported killed and another four wounded.
Hamas is not believed to be carrying out the attacks directly, but rather allowing proxies that it supports and are affiliated with global jihad elements to fire the rockets and mortars. Hamas has restrained them from carrying out larger attacks.
Haim Yalin, head of the Eshkol Regional Council, reacted sharply to the news of the phosphorus mortar attacks. Yalin said that he would send a letter on Thursday to the United Nations to alert it to the weapons being directed from Gaza against civilians.
"These weapons have been banned by the Geneva Convention. They cause burns among victims, and they kill. This is an agricultural area – and we are now having to explain to farmers how to deal with burns from phosphorus shells," he said.
Yalin added that firefighters and paramedics operating in his area would now have to prepare for more phosphorous attacks.
"We are preparing to go back to the situation we faced before Operation Cast Lead, when we confronted continuous mortar, rocket and sniper attacks," he said.
"So long as this autonomous Iranian entity in Gaza continues to exist, we will be fired on. We have received only fundamentalism and fire from Gaza," Yalin said.
"Fifty thousand residents living in this area, thirsty for peace and a normal life, face a Hamas entity unwilling to recognize Israel," he said. "We are civilians, farmers, students, all being fired on indiscriminately."
Yalin stressed that most of the people the Eshkol region, who live in kibbutzim and farming villages, traditionally voted for Left and Center parties.
"We want peace with the Palestinians, but unfortunately it is disappearing before our very eyes," he said.
Southern Police District chief Cmdr. Yochanan Danino said the police was prepared for the increase in terrorism.
"As soon as the diplomatic process began, we made preparations for the eventuality that extremist elements, especially Hamas, would attempt to inflame the situation and launch terrorist attacks," Danino said. "Unfortunately, our preparations were founded on the correct assumption.
"But I would like to stress that we have a very strong home front made up of resilient residents and local leaders. They are showing leadership and responsibility and cooperating fully with us," he said.

JPost.comHeadlines Large land convoy on way to Gaza strip
A large land convoy began making its way on Saturday from around the world to the Gaza Strip.
Vehicles were loaded onto ships and are en-route to the el-Arish Port in Egypt where they hope to be allowed to unload and drive into Gaza. According to press reports, about 450 vehicles are expected to participate in the land convoy which is organized by former British lawmaker George Galloway.
Vehicles are coming from England, Kuwait, Algeria. Tunisia and Morocco. In January, the Egyptians banned Galloway from using their territory for Gaza-bound convoys and accused the former British lawmaker's organization Viva Palestina of criminal activity.
Thats a lot of money wasted that could have been given straight to the aid agencies helping in Gaza anyway . I guess it wouldn't have the dramatic histrionics that go along with these other shows though .

Photo by: NCourtesy Edelstein: Anti-Israel reports led to anti-Semitism
By GIL HOFFMAN
"It is easy to boycott Israel when you don't know what you are talking about," says Diaspora Affairs and Public Diplomacy Minister.
A preponderance of anti- Israel reports around the world contributed to an atmosphere of anti-Semitism that led to 2009 being the worst year for anti-Semitic incidents since statistics starting being kept 20 years ago, Diaspora Affairs and Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post that will be published in Wednesday's Succot supplement.
Edelstein noted the story that accused the Israeli rescue team in Haiti of harvesting organs following the January 12, 2010, earthquake, and many other malicious reports in the years before.
Edelstein: Palestinians should halt building as well
'Anti-Semitism is worse in 2010 than 1910'
"When I say demonizing Israel has anti-Semitic roots, some people get a tired look on their face and say, 'Not again, can't you guys take any criticism?'" Edelstein said.
"But I will say loud and clear that this delegitimization has anti-Semitic roots. You can't work in journalism in a mainstream country if you are anti- Semitic, but you certainly can if you are 'anti-Israel.' The attacks on many Jewish communities around the world are inspired by an anti-Semitic atmosphere."
Edelstein criticized the theory that changing Israel's policies would bring more positive media coverage, which was popularized two decades ago by President Shimon Peres and endorsed by Ehud Barak when he was prime minister.
"Saying that the problem is just our policies and that changing them would make the world love us is an interesting theory, but it has never worked," Edelstein said.
"It has only made us popular for a couple weeks," he continued.
"Camp David [the summit with Yasser Arafat in 2000] and the unilateral withdrawal [from Gaza in 2005] proved this.
When I was in Boston and I spoke about how the withdrawal only helped for three weeks, a woman in charge of public relations for Israel there laughed and told me, 'Those three weeks were so wonderful, but so short.'" Edelstein said the best approach to handling anti- Israel boycotts was to spread information about how relevant Israel was to the world, and thereby change the atmosphere that makes such boycotts accepted.
"In London, when I was asked about boycotting Israel, I said I am in favor, but do it seriously," he said. "Don't just stop eating cherry tomatoes – close your laptop computer, call the hospital and ask them to stop treating your relatives with Israeli medicine and medical equipment. It is so easy to boycott Israel when you don't know what you are talking about."

''Viva Palestina' Gaza flotilla to sail'
'Galloway misled public over sum raised for Gaza'
Galloway, a former British MP and veteran anti-Israel activist, first announced plans for the "Viva Palestina" flotilla in June, shortly after attending the funerals of the Turkish activists killed aboard the Mavi Marmara.
Galloway announced the September 18 launch of the flotilla in an August opinion article he wrote in the British socialist daily the Morning Star.
Galloway states in the article that now that the siege on Gaza is being condemned by the EU, UN, many governments and every major international aid agency, "we are at a moment when pressure can be brought to bear as never before to frustrate Israel's moves to crush the Palestinians."
Galloway expressed encouragement at British Prime Minister David Cameron's July speech in Turkey in which he equated Gaza to a prison camp and condemned Israel for the raid on the Mavi Marmara in which nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed by IDF naval commandos.

Family denounces Hamas's "ongoing war crime;" video shows Schalit surrounded by two masked men, concludes with sound of gunshots.
In response the video, the Schalit family released a statement on Monday attacking Hamas's actions. The statement read, "[We are] troubled that instead of worrying about the hundreds of Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel, Hamas leaders have chosen to continue holding Gilad, our son, captive as a hostage for their political aspirations, an act which is an ongoing war crime according to international law."
The statement continued, "In addition, Hamas leaders in Gaza and Damascus are not hesitant to add, and even take a new approach, to the psychological warfare of the lowest level against the Schalit family, instead of respecting international law and conventions."
Beloved emblem of a conflicted Israel
Analysis: Where does the prisoner deal stand now?
Hamas posted a video of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit on Youtube on Monday, suggesting he would be killed if a deal was not soon reached.
In the animated video, two masked men are shown standing on either side of Gilad Schalit in a dark room, with one of them holding an AK-47 assualt rifle.
At the end of the 24-second video, gun shots are heard as the movie goes black and the words "Is the mission completed?" are seen written in Arabic.
In response the video, the Schalit family released a statement saying that, "The Schalit family is troubled that instead of worrying about the hundreds of Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel, some of which could have been at home long ago, Hamas leaders have chosen to continue holding Gilad, our son, captive as a hostage for their political aspirations, an act which is an ongoing war crime according to international law." The statement continued, "In addition, Hamas leaders in Gaza and Damascus are not hesitant to add, and even take a new approach, to the psychological warfare of the lowest level against the Schalit family, instead of respecting international law and conventions."
The Schalit family has campaigned tirelessly to pressure the government to reach an agreement with Hamas for their son's release. They even turned down Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's appeal before the High Holy Days to leave their protest tent in front of his Jerusalem residence and return home for the holidays, saying nothing has happened over the last eight months that would justify taking a break from their vigil.
"Unfortunately, Gilad is spending his fifth Rosh Hashana in Hamas cellars in Gaza," Noam Schalit, Gilad's father, told journalists after holding a two-hour meeting with Netanyahu.
Schalit said there is no activity with the German mediator, no pressure being placed on Hamas, and no effort to gain "bargaining chips," while those chips that were in Israel's hands – Hamas legislators in Israeli jails – have for the most part been released. In addition, he said, there has been no sign of life from Gilad since Hamas released a video tape of him a year ago.
"For eight months, nothing has happened, except for words," Schalit said.

Chelsea FC: Transfer Rumours & News
Chelsea FC Transfer Rumours: Fernando Torres To Chelsea Appears Certain.

Things look to have finally been confirmed to make way for Fernando Torres to leave Liverpool and join Chelsea. The BBC have broke the news that Liverpool and Newcastle have agreed a fee for Andy Carroll, while John Cross has reported that Fernando Torres has passed a Chelsea medical.
It has been an incredible day in English football, but it now looks certain that Roman Abramovich will land the Spanish hit man he looks set to invest around £100M in to bring to Stamford Bridge.
While some may turn their noses up at the cost of Torres, remember: this is a 26 year old who is without a doubt one of the top five strikers in the world when he's on form. When he's at his best, he could very well be the best in the world. Quick, agile, strong and absolutely deadly in front of goal, Torres has suffered from injuries and a bad run of form.
Having scored 24 league goals followed by 14 and 18 in his first full three seasons at Anfield, Fernando Torres is a game changer who is going to massively change, and hopefully improve Chelsea as the club looks to retain the Premiership Title and win that elusive Champion's League.

ITALY CUSTOM T-SHIRTS
The T-shirt had humble beginnings. It started as the standard-issue undershirt of US soldiers, buried beneath the military overshirt. Then, after WWI veterans returned from abroad, the tee moved outward, being worn not as undershirt, but as a garment independent of an outer layer. By the '50s, the white tee had become mainstream and iconic: think Henry Winkler or Marlon Brando.
Featuring the awesome custom designs and high-quality fabrics, Italy shirts are available in a wide range of styles to fit your needs. Custom orders are available.
WHY ITALY CUSTOM T-SHIRTS?
The T-Shirt is the ur-wardrobe staple. No matter a person's style, location or profession, the t-shirt has a place in their closet. It's a blank canvas for the wearer, and while there are infinite iterations of the t-shirt available, the information about what sets quality shirts apart from the rest is limited. You deserve a shirt that will stand up to years of washing and wearing, not a shirt that falls apart after a season. Comfort is key; pre-washing and shrinking ensure it.
Explore our styles to meet the demands of all types of T-Shirt, and find a tee with the fabrics, sizes and comfort that you need.
What makes the best quality Italy T-Shirt?
Let the Fabric Speak for Itself
Fabric is of course the foundation of the garment. It needs to be of the highest-quality cotton and yarn. So many steps go into spinning the yarn, knitting the fabric, and the finishing stages.
Construction on Display
The construction is a vital aspect of quality. Choosing the proper machinery is the first start, then effectively applying the right tension and technique is next. The sewer has the biggest effect on the outcome. It's easy to pump out T-shirts of low quality. When you have skilled labor, it becomes craftsmanship.
There are two parts to construction you need to consider: construction in fit and construction in durability. Fit matters in how you build the garment. There are many construction options — a tubular knit, a tape seam, single, double or triple needle stitching — that all ultimately determine how the tee fits and how the tee drapes. You have to look at each building block of the tee — evaluating your shoulder, side paneling, collar — to make sure you're nailing fit.
Then there is the question of, "Will this thing last?" That durability is all due to components of thoughtful design and investment in how the garment is manufactured. No one really wants to invest in quality sewing because the more time you spend on the garment, the more expensive it gets. At LandTees, that durability is key. We prioritize quality first; everything else has to follow.
There are 5 most popular printing methods:
Screen Printing: It is the most common with the pros. The screen printing method is ideal for printing high-quality t-shirt designs, because it guarantees ultimate replication of the design. Most companies that use the screen printing methods for mass production of T-shirt designs for your business. If you want a single or unique design for yourself, it may be impossible.
Direct To Garments (DTG): The Direct To Garment method is excellent for printing out super-complex design. It gives a soft feel on the hands when you touch the final design. The DTG method is excellent for printing out super-complex design. It gives a soft feel on the hands when you touch the final design. The ink used doesn't create thick extra layers on the shirt, because it is thin.
Dye Sublimation: Dye sublimation works well on light shirts or fabrics. It cost to produce a dye sub but in the end, the customer ends up with a professional done shirt by experts. Dye sublimation is perfect for printing polyester like cream fabrics. They are unforgiving when you bring cotton fabric to the scene.
Heat Press Printing: It is economical to use the heat press printing if you have small orders of shirt. However, it won't work well with dark fabrics because of its translucent dye.
Vinyl Cutting: With this method, you can print one-off designs and even produce them in large numbers. It is the best alternative for printing multiple garment types. However, it suffers from one thing: They are letter-types parts that you can't use with it. T-shirt printed through vinyl cutting are durable.
Italy apparel is printed with the Screen or DTG method, which is the latest in technology and techniques.
Consider the Complete Equation
Design, superior fabric, proper fit, solid construction. The details go as far as thread size, stitch per inch, and even what brand of needle is in the sewing machine.
With any product, you have to be absolutely obsessed with the details, the fabric, the finishing, and all the elemental parts coupled with a point of view on the actual silhouette. And, importantly, you need the highest-quality materials (such as fabric, yarn) to produce a quality garment.

Q: ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter remove on the fly I have a Netty pipeline with several adapters, few of which should work only on the first arriving message. This means after processing the message I want to pass it forward and then remove the adapter from the pipeline. I have tried the following two approaches:
1. super.channelRead(ctx, msg);   THEN   ctx.pipeline().remove(this);
2. ctx.pipeline().remove(this);   THEN   super.channelRead(ctx, msg);
both of them work for now, but it's not clear to me whether there is any difference and is there any "best-practice" for using those.
Thanks

A: Both options are fine. The only difference is the time when the handler will be removed from the pipeline. In specific cases, it may have some effects on the execution flow. My own recommendation - remove the handler as soon as you don't need it or as soon as it performed all necessary operations.

Jon Favreau Has a 'Very Cool and Important' Voice Role in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
In addition to (finally) premiering the first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, Lucasfilm has begun revealing all kinds of cool new details from the upcoming prequel / spinoff. Over the past week we've seen new images and posters, and learned quite a bit about the mysterious characters played by Emilia Clarke and Paul Bettany. And with only a few months left until Solo hits theaters, a casting announcement is probably the last thing you'd expect.
…Which makes Ron Howard's latest tweet a bit of a surprise:
Jon Favreau, who is currently working on Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King, has what Howard calls a "very cool and important" voice role in Solo. The Disney and Marvel fave is portraying an unnamed alien character in the new Star Wars spinoff. Howard doesn't reveal anything specific beyond that, but it is a neat turn for Favreau, who has grown accustomed to directing voice actors in recent years. (In addition to The Lion King, Favreau helmed Disney's Jungle Book remake.)
Solo: A Star Wars Story features Alden Ehrenreich as young Han Solo, Donald Glover as young Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson as Han's mentor, and Joonas Suotamo as young(er) Chewbacca. The spinoff also stars Emilia Clarke, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Paul Bettany and Thandie Newton, and hits theaters on May 25.

BREAKING: Kathleen Sebelius resigning
by Jeff Dunetz | Apr 10, 2014 | Other
According To the AP:
A White House official says Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is resigning from the Obama administration.
The move comes just a week after the close of the rocky enrollment period for President Barack Obama's health care law. Website failures marred the opening weeks of the six-month enrollment period, but the administration rebounded strongly by enrolling more than 7 million people in health insurance plans.
Sebelius' resignation could set the stage for a contentious election-year confirmation hearing for whomever Obama nominates to replace her. Sebelius has served as HHS secretary since the start of the Obama administration.
The official was not authorized to discuss Sebelius' resignation ahead of the formal announcement and requested anonymity.
Sebelius oversaw the disastrous Obamacare rollout.
According to Ed Henry the White House will name Sylvia Mary Mathews Burwell the Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget as Sebelius' replacement.
Those confirmation hearings are going to be very interesting, not because of Ms Burwell but the hearings will be a public bashing of Obamacare.
Ed Henry's Report Follows
The RNC Released the following statement
"Secretary Sebelius oversaw a disastrous rollout of ObamaCare, but anyone can see that there are more problems on the way. The next HHS Secretary will inherit a mess—Americans facing rising costs, families losing their doctors, and an economy weighed down by intrusive regulations. No matter who is in charge of HHS, ObamaCare will continue to be a disaster and will continue to hurt hardworking Americans. It's time for President Obama to admit that Democrats' signature law is a failure and heed Republican calls for patient-centered healthcare reform." – RNC Chairman Reince Priebus


The news about Antelope Creek being contaminated was interesting to me, since I'd just recently ridden bike through the Antelope Valley Project and was surprised at how green the creek is getting.
Algae is blooming in nooks and crannies, particularly around the future Union Plaza. Ed Kouma, who works in watershed management for the city, said a certain amount of green algae is normal but the city gets very concerned about areas where there is excessive algae.
Lincolnites can do their part to help keep the creek healthy by using no or no-phosphorus fertilizer, rain gardens and rain barrels to prevent too many nutrients from getting into streams.

U.S. lawmakers introduce bill to restrict Huawei's access to banks
Posted on December 24, 2022 December 22, 2022 Author moibyinescom Comments Off on U.S. lawmakers introduce bill to restrict Huawei's access to banks
U.S. lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill to sanction Chinese tech company Huawei Technologies Ltd and Chinese 5G companies, restricting them from accessing U.S. banks.
The bill, introduced by Republican senator Tom Cotton and backed by lawmakers such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, seeks to "severely sanction" Huawei, and other "untrustworthy" Chinese 5G producers who they say engage in economic espionage against the U.S.
The bill will add these entities to the Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, effectively freezing out of the U.S. financial system.
Huawei did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
China's Foreign Ministry said "China firmly opposes the U.S.'s generalisation of the concept of national security, (and its) abuse of state power to suppress Chinese enterprises".
Wang Wenbin, China's foreign ministry spokesperson, told at a regular press briefing that China would "firmly safeguard" the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies after U.S. lawmakers introduced the bipartisan bill.
U.S. lawmakers have tried to curb Huawei's access to U.S. banks in the past, proposing a similar bill in 2020 when President Donald Trump was in office.
"We've made great strides in recent years at home and abroad in combating Huawei's malign attempts to dominate 5G and steal Americans' data," Cotton said in a statement on Tuesday.

"We cannot allow Huawei and the Chinese Communist Party to have access to Americans' personal data and our country's most sensitive defense systems," he added.
In October, U.S. prosecutors charged two Chinese intelligence officials with trying to tamper with the Huawei investigation. The two Chinese nationals had attempted to recruit a U.S. law enforcement agent to work as their spy, but the recruit was actually working as an agent for the United States, prosecutors said.
Last month, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission adopted rules banning new telecommunications equipment from Huawei.

Whilst camping within a dedicated campground, you will be able to use their power source. However, without the use of a RV surge protector or EMS system, the electrical appliances may be subject to a surge of power from campgrounds power.
The best RV surge protector is the Progressive Industries Smart Surge Protector, which is available in a range of sizes and 30 amp or 50 amp variations.
Using a surge protector for a RV is fairly easy. Simply connect the surge protector into the power adapter/pedestal at the campground and then connect your electrical cord to the surge protector. You will then be safe from an electrical surge.
Many RV surge protectors and Electrical Management Systems (EMS) have various modes that prevent damage to your electrical appliances. From Open Ground, Open Neutral, Reverse Polarity Detection, Miss wired Pedestal Indication, low voltage and much more. These can be easily set using the buttons and LED indicators.
Installing the best RV surge protector is a must and something that will be used often, so its worth spending the little extra. There is a large amount of variation and if you have many electrical appliances on board, we recommend going for a 50 amp surge protector over the smaller 30 amp alternative.
Below is a list of the best RV surge protectors that ensure all electrical appliances inside your RV are safe from surges of power.
The Progressive Industries RV Surge Protector is one of the best options for protecting your electrical system. This surge protector is very durable, so it's good for RV life and its also very easy to maintain.
Progressive Industries are known for very durable products that effectively protect your RV. It is particularly helpful to have this surge protector if you are using a power source outside of your RV, such as a common campground power source.
While it doesn't provide protection from all types of electrical threats, it does detect them, so you can quickly shut off your devices and prevent damage. The SSP30X model is one of the best RV surge protector that Progressive Industries produce and well worth the investment.
The Technology Research Surge Guard protector is another good choice if you need to protect your RV from power surges and electrical damage. It's easy to set up and maintain, and the surge guard gives you an accurate read of how much electricity you're using, so you can be more mindful of your consumption while in your RV.
This intelligent surge protector is an ideal choice for the energy-conscious RV owner. It's important to note, however, that it is somewhat heavy, so getting it in place in the RV can be a bit of a challenge at first. Overall, however, the Technology Research Surge Guard is a good investment for your RV.
The Progressive Industries Portable Electrical Management System is another durable and efficient product from this brand. This surge protector gives you complete control over your electricity usage and keeps your system safe.
This heavy duty surge protector is an essential for any RV owner with many electrical devices on board. No matter where you're camping or what power source you're using, the Progressive Industries HW30C protects you against surges, damage and keeps you informed of your electrical usage.
The Camco Heavy Duty Dogbone is a small but effective RV surge protector that you can use to analyze the state of your RV's electrical functions. It's relatively affordable and is a good easy choice when you need a surge protector for your RV.
Overall, the Camco Dogbone RV Circuit Analyzer is an easy choice for RV owners. It's affordable and provides solid surge protection levels for your travels.
It also helps you identify potential problems before they happen to ensure you stay safe on the road and whilst camping.
The Camco Power Defender is a more powerful surge protection option from the Camco brand. It's ideal for complex RV systems that need sophisticated electrical diagnostics and surge protection.
This high quality surge protector is a good option if you need a 50 amp surge protector. It protects against very strong levels of unstable power that can be dangerous for your vehicle and your devices.
There are many things you should keep in mind when shopping for an RV surge protector. Since RV surge protectors are a technical tool, it can be difficult to determine whether or not the surge protector you are looking at is a quality tool.
Knowing some of the key metrics to look at when shopping for a surge protector will ensure that you are spending your money on a quality product.
It's important to have a surge protector when you're on the go and using different sources of power while you're camping and traveling, because unstable power sources can damage your electronics. Here's what you should look for when shopping for an RV surge protector.
The first and most important thing to consider when shopping for a surge protector is the level of protection it provides. The amount of electricity it protects against is measured in joules, and the more joules the device protects against, the safer your RV will be in a surge. If you have more electronic devices, you will need a higher level of surge protection in case of an electronic emergency.
There are a variety of different electrical problems that can cause power surges. Surge protectors for RVs vary widely in what types of electrical issues they can address and how they address it.
For example, some devices will provide complete protection against a wide variety of electrical issues, while others will only provide limited protection, but can detect and warn you of different electrical issues in your power system.
When shopping for an RV surge protector, you'll need to determine whether you need a 30 amp RV surge protector or a 50 amp RV surge protector, depending on your electrical setup in your RV. Many surge protector models come in both a 30 or 50 amp option, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Before shopping, you will need to look up which type you need to prevent electrical damage or malfunction.
One of the best ways to ensure that you will stay safe in your RV is with a surge protector that automatically shuts off your electronics when it detects a power surge or other electrical issue. It's also very helpful if the surge protector will restart your electronics when the threat has passed. This takes the responsibility off of you to have to manually shut off your electronics should an emergency happen.
The size of your surge protector may be another helpful thing to look at when doing your shopping. When living in an RV, you have limited space, so it's helpful to shop for items that are space efficient. Some RV surge protectors are also quite heavy, which can make them difficult to install and move around.
A smaller surge protector may be more convenient, particularly if you don't need too much power. If you're purchasing a heavy surge protector, look for a pull handle to help you transport it more easily.
Unlike the standard whole house surge protector that you would find in the majority of houses, the RV alternative is more portable in order to be used within campgrounds.
When camping, many people will use a RV generator as a source of power and many people wonder whether a RV surge protector is required. It's always best to be over-protected than under-protected and if you already have one, then you may as well.
However, not all generators will run correctly whilst using a RV surge protector as they use an "open ground" system. As long as the generator is healthy and fully functioning, you should be fine without one.
While you're out on the road, you are likely to encounter changing weather conditions, particularly if you like to camp. There are times when you may need to install your surge protector outdoors, or when you need to use your surge protector in very hot, cold, or wet conditions.
If you commonly find yourself in these types of situations while traveling, looking for a weatherproof surge protector can be helpful. In fact, using a non-weatherpoof surge protector in intense weather situations is dangerous in some cases, so it's always important to check to keep yourself safe.
Many RV surge protectors have displays that will indicate various stats and metrics about the electrical system you are connected to. This is very helpful for safety and efficiency. Before purchasing an RV surge protector, look at the display to see how big it is, what information it displays, and how easy it is to read.
Ideally, the display should use LED lights, so you can see the information during the day and at night. Many displays also have small colored lights that you can see from far away to determine if your systems are safe. A good display system will make it much easier to understand how your RV is using electricity and what sort of electrical threats you are facing.
The Underwriter's Laboratory seal implies that the surge protector has been tested by UL and that it is safe to use. UL is a trusted organization, so having the seal on your device implies that it is safe to use. Look for the UL seal on your devices to confirm that they have a good reputation.
When you're out on the road, the last thing you want to do is spend too much time trying to figure out how to install your surge protector. Ideally, your surge protector should be something you can just plug in with minimal installation. However, the more complex your surge protector is, the more likely you will be to have to spend more time on the setup. Look for an RV surge protector that is easy to use and set up, particularly if you don't have much familiarity with electrical systems.
Since RV surge protectors are typically somewhat of an investment, it's helpful to look for a surge protector that comes with a warranty. This ensures that if there are any problems with your surge protector during the warranty period, you can get your money back and get a replacement product if needed. This will give you peace of mind when spending money on your surge protector.
A surge protector is a must have for any RV owner who connects to various power sources while they're on the road. Since you can't control power sources at campgrounds or other locations, it's important to have a surge protector to keep yourself safe and protect your devices from damage.
The devices listed are some of the best quality options for preventing electrical damage while on the road. Many people may feel that they are unnecessary but when considering they can reduce damage to expensive devices such as a RV rooftop air conditioner, then its definitely a worthwhile investment.


You should feel good about the impact you have as a philanthropist — donating, volunteering, and advocating for our Vermont neighbors and their food needs. But the Vermont Foodbank also develops partnerships beyond food that help our neighbors fulfill their desire to contribute to our shared community. An exciting new project called Collaborating for Clients (C4C) is one such partnership. I was asked by Feeding America, the national network of food banks, to participate on the C4C steering committee, which, with financial and program support from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and research support from the Urban Institute, is investigating a national framework to support families in living sustainable and stable lives.
Research shows that enough food, health care, housing, and employment for those able to work is the essential foundation for family sustainability and stability. There are many groups working on these issues, from the national to the local level; however, this work often happens in silos. The C4C steering committee is focusing on discovering how existing supports and programs can be coordinated to provide a more seamless platform for our clients to find stability.
Our challenge is this: collaboration is hard. Nonprofit organizations, business partners, and government partners all have their own interests, goals, strategies, and personalities. It can take time — years, even — to build the relationships and trust necessary for effective collaboration. Each partner in a collaboration brings something important to help reach a recognized goal; however, one of the largest barriers to overcome can be the fact that each organization must also give something up to reach a shared outcome. When we focus on the real outcome — in this case healthy, food-secure families contributing to our communities — we all see that the effort is worth the outcome. Food banks bring food and logistics to the table. The next step in the C4C process is to start "dating" some potential national partners and fine-tuning the research.
This work is only possible because of philanthropists who are willing to look beyond immediate results and take risks. Your support of the Vermont Foodbank and our history of effectiveness and innovation puts us in a position to influence a new project at the national level. Ours is truly a partnership in which everyone benefits. Our neighbors have access to fresh food and food staples, provided through direct programs such as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for our seniors and BackPack for our children in school, and through our 270 network partners.
In these trying times, with reductions in 3SquaresVT and the possibility of massive additional cuts in the farm bill, challenges at the state Agency of Human Services, and a reduction in donated food, we are counting on you to keep our neighbors fed, our communities strong, and innovative programs moving forward.
Please give today. One dollar helps us provide three meals to Vermonters in need.

SUV as Sporty Option? The 2019 Ford Edge ST
When looking for the right balance between automotive styling and interior space, mid-size SUVs make appealing choices. Several automakers also throw sporting, performance touches into the mix. That's what sets the Ford Edge ST apart from its stablemates.
The red Edge ST I drove offers a few curves, body scallops and a raked rear window, but vehicles this size aren't as easy to distinguish as are sedans, wagons and hatchbacks. Twin trapezoidal exhausts and a faux diffuser framing a tow hitch accent the rear. 20" machined aluminum wheels shod with low-profile tires stand out on the side view. Bright, distinctive LED lines of light cut through the darkness. These extra touches hep make the Edge handsome enough for an SUV. Whether they're enough to help it visually earn the ST badging Ford put on it is up to the beholder.
A nicely appointed interior makes the Edge ST cabin a pleasant place to be. A large moonroof lets in plenty of light from above. That light illuminates leather seats embossed with the letters "ST". Front seats are heated, cooled and fully adjustable. Surfaces are either leather or feel high-quality to the touch.

Spacious rear seats are heated. (The driver gets a heated steering wheel as well.) Five full-sized adults ought to be comfortable during long rides in the Edge.
Hockey bag test
This roomy hatch might accommodate three bags like mine (with a little squeezing) before a rear seat has to be folded. Sticks slid easily over the rear seats.
In-cabin technology
Ford's Sync system centres an above-average fully featured touchscreen-centred infotainment system. Controls are easy to get to, well laid out, and Ford has no fear of providing oversized icons as targets for fingers that may be jostled by bumps in the road. (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto quickly take over when the system detects smartphones.)
That said, I have a quibble here. The control for the heated steering wheel is on the system's home screen. Also, there are no buttons near the screen to quickly take people to commonly accessed screens (e.g. phone, navigation, radio). Honda went this route years ago.
Physical (i.e. off-screen) buttons are now returning to Hondas, and I recommend Ford bring them back too. Tried-and-true physical buttons on the dash would let drivers devote more of their attention on the road. For example, it would be logical to put a physical button on the steering wheel so drivers need not provide the attention required for up to three taps of the touchscreen to heat the steering wheel.
The instrument cluster contains an analogue speedometer flanked by two screens. Ford's organization here is, as always, refreshingly logical. Buttons under the left thumb enable the driver to navigate the left screen, which contains a variety of vehicle settings. The same relationship exists for buttons under the right thumb and the right screen, for navigation, phone and media information.
Phones plug into the USB ports just under the climate controls and next to a wireless phone charging pad.
To control the automatic transmission, the driver turns a dial by the right thigh. It contains the right letters, plus a button labelled "S" in the middle of the dial should drivers want to experience "sport mode." That dial reminds me of certain other SUVs I've driven. It also makes me think of the eminently more practical infotainment dials and controls other automakers put in that spot. I did say Ford's Sync system is competent, but for ergonomics and ease of use, nothing beats putting physical screen controls just ahead of the centre armrest. Ford has wiring in place. Now designers just need to use it for a more practical purpose.
Since Ford has greatly diminished its presence the car market in favour of trucks and SUVs, the ST performance "subbrand" had to go somewhere. The Edge ST is the first of Ford's larger vehicles to wear these two letters.
A 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 produces 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Step on the accelerator and the ST sprints hard off the line while ST-like engine noise enter the cabin. Use sport mode and you get a digital tachometer in the left instrument cluster screen while you control the gears using paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. Yes, this SUV wants to elicit the fun of eager ST-badged cars in Ford's past.
No, it doesn't really manage to do that. This is, after all, a hefty vehicle, and the physics are difficult to overcome even with the performance upgrades Ford put into the ST. That includes the paddle shifters, though I suspect most of the driving done in this SUV will be too utilitarian for drivers to want to take over the transmission.
That's not a bad thing. The Edge can be a sporty ride, but only grudgingly. With its size and pedigree, the Edge, even with ST upgrades, is more at ease as a competent, comfortable family hauler. Or as a camera truck.
Ford and Pursuit Sysyems have built an Edge ST camera car designed to film high-speed chase scenes and other hard-to-capture action footage for upcoming movies and commercial projects. Image courtesy Ford.
Active safety technologies make the ST more capable. I let its parking assistant take me into several spots, both parallel and angle. Blind-spot warnings kept me from ill-advised lane changes. Adaptive cruise control made certain stop-and-go trips more comfortable than they would have been. Proximity sensors all round the Edge helped me navigate tight parking spots. Other safety systems ought to keep prudent Edge drivers out of trouble.
Ford posts fuel economy estimated of 12.5 L/100 km city and 9.2 L/100 km highway. The engine thankfully shuts itself off at stops so owners need not visit the pumps quite as often.
You can get into a 2020 Ford Edge ST for $49,399 MSRP, before taxes and other fees.

Review: Keira Knightley is Fantastic in 'Official Secrets,' an Otherwise Surprisingly Dull Whistleblower Drama about the Iraq War
By Roxana Hadadi | Film | September 5, 2019 |
Excuse me if I'm being uncharacteristically cynical here, but: I wonder when these based-on-real-life whistleblower movies will matter. This is a dramatic genre that has featured some fantastic performances in recent years (Rachel Weisz in, well, The Whistleblower, about sexual abuse and trafficking within United Nations missions, and Matt Damon going wacky in The Informant!), and Oliver Stone's particular brand of conspiracy-obsessed zeal was served well in Snowden. But do these movies penetrate the public consciousness anymore, or did we somehow collectively decide that Russell Crowe's The Insider was the last time we would pay attention? Guys, remember when Benedict Cumberbatch starred in a Julian Assange movie? I mean!
What I mean to say with all this is that I think these movies are often effectively-if-flatly made, and they serve an important purpose in that they educate and entertain, and I hope that when people watch them, they learn something. (I just wonder, you know, if people do watch them.) And all of my broad genre observations are applicable, too, to Official Secrets, in which Keira Knightley plays British whistleblower Katharine Gun, who leaked a secret memo that the NSA sent to the British government after Sept. 11, outlining the corrupt (and goddamn illegal) ways they would go about gathering support for their decision to invade Iraq (or, if you want my personal thoughts, engage in war crimes for which they have never been held responsible).
Knightley is evocative here of her turn in A Dangerous Method as a woman driven to increasingly desperate behavior; she bites her lip and chews the inside of her mouth and emotes "I am concerned" from the way she folds in on herself while watching the news to how rigidly she sits in front of her computer at work. She is principled and she is indignant and she is angry, and we all know, from Bend It Like Beckham to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to Colette, how great Knightley can be when working in that lane.
But she's let down by almost every other aspect of Gavin Hood's film, which is curiously, exhaustingly flat. There's no sense of tension or thrill here; no propulsive thrust forward. Criticize Oliver Stone all you want—you should; it's fine!—but Snowden had an exceptionally anxious energy about it that belied the danger Edward Snowden was placing himself in. Official Secrets barely communicates that to us, relying too often on official news footage and an overly simplistic script (from Hood and Gregory and Sara Bernstein (all working off a book written about Gun by Marcia and Thomas Mitchell, The Spy Who Tried to Stop a War: Katharine Gun and the Secret Plot to Sanction the Iraq Invasion) to let us know that Katharine was horrified by the lead-up to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that British journalists played by Matt Smith and Matthew Goode tried to cover the story but were discouraged from doing so by the newspaper they worked for, and the American government led by President George W. Bush warmongered to cover up their lies. If you lived through this period of American history and were paying any sort of attention, this is all horrifically unsettling but not necessarily new, and Hood doesn't do much past "Look at how bad this was" to communicate the material to us.
Honestly, if you want to talk about the endless opportunities provided to white men: Hood's previous films X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Ender's Game were clunkers, but I suppose he was brought in for this because of his drone-focused Eye in the Sky, which also addressed questions about government ethics? But I wonder what a female filmmaker's perspective would have been on Gun's story about a woman who betrays her own government to try and prevent an international war, who is then basically blackmailed by that government into staying quiet (they tried to deport her husband; that is some underhanded shit), and who must grapple with the fact that the war happened anyway and that thousands and thousands of people were killed and displaced regardless.
The movie hints every so often at that horrendous inner conflict and Knightley's performance proves she's up to exploring it, but it's telling that the film ends not with a scene of Knightley-as-Gun but with Ralph Fiennes's activist lawyer getting a moment of glory facing off against a federal prosecutor. Official Secrets tries to end with a sort of declarative moment proving its own relevance, but the real-life story of how thoroughly the world ignored Gun's warning is too depressing to allow that scene any emotional impact. We already know how awfully everything turned out: Swathes of the Middle East are utterly destroyed as a result of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which helped destabilize the region enough that ISIS was created and the Syrian Civil War began. Our current president owes Bush a profound debt for lowering the standards of what the American people will accept in their leadership. Surveillance has only expanded, not only from our governments but also from private companies who track all our data—and who are regularly hacked. We're living that nightmarish reality right now. How Official Secrets tries to put a tidy bow on this narrative does Gun's story and our own awareness of the world around us a disservice.
Official Secrets opens in limited release around the U.S. on Sept. 6.
Thanks for Nothing, Lorne Michaels

She has raised those concerns both to Serbian newspapers and to the U.N. Mission in Kosovo but complained that the United Nations did only a "cursory" investigation. A spokeswoman for Serbia's U.S. embassy said it has not heard of threats specifically against Artemije but is concerned for the safety of all Serbs there.
Supporters of Bishop Artemije, the main Serbian Orthodox Church official for the regions of Kosovo and Metohija in the former Yugoslavia, say the outspoken cleric may be the target of an assassination plot. Artemije visited St. Sava Cathedral in Parma in February on a tour of the United States to oppose the Kosovo region becoming an independent state. In his talks here, Artemije said terrorist activity by the Albanian majority against the remaining Serbian population would rival al-Qaida's if independence is granted. Rada Trajkovic, an executive board member of the Serbian National Council of Kosovo and Metohija, said a group of "Muslim Albanian terrorists" in the Podujeco area of Kosovo are planning the attack.

WORK & MISSION
SAL Liberia
According to the World Bank, 54% of the population of Liberia lives below the poverty line. 2.1 million are unable to meet their basic food and non-food needs. The Word Food Programe recorded 1.3 million Liberians living in extreme poverty. These are numbers and statistics that could be changed with our involvement. As harsh as it may sound, some parents in Liberia cannot afford to send their children to school. Some families live in old and worn down homes, with no access to clean drinking water. Some days, they go without food.
My name is Putue Teh. I was born in Liberia, West Africa. I moved to the United States at the age of 14, after living on several Refugee camps with my families for 10 years due to the Liberian Civil War. Eleven years after leaving my country and establishing myself in the United States, I created Save A Life Liberia (SALL), a Charity, to help join the fight against poverty in Liberia, West Africa. Currently, I am able to help some children and families by saving money from my monthly earnings. I am looking to expand the charity and help as many people possible.
As you may know, Liberia had a civil war which began in 1989 and lasted through 2003. It also went through the recent Ebola outbreak in 2014. These two events were disastrous and left the country and the people in ruins. Although there have been many strides through hard work to rebuild the country and restore the dignity of the people of Liberia, there are still a lot to be done. There are children who have to struggle along with their parents to survive because their families lost everything during the Liberian Civil War. They lack the opportunities to attend school or live descent lives.
My families went through the struggle of surviving during the war before moving to the United States. Coming to the United States was a blessing. It gave me the opportunity to create a better life for myself. I have made it my goal to help others who are in need. I began doing so at the age of 20 when I got my first Full Time job. I have built homes for my families in Africa, and helped them got started with jobs which they now use to support themselves. This led me to create the charity. I will like to do the same things for other children and families who are struggling.
I have planned to travel to Liberia in 2020, when we will begin building homes for underprivileged families who do not have homes, start the process of sending impoverished children to school, as well as provide some of the basic daily needs to families who cannot afford them by helping families get started with jobs such as meat and poultry farming, tailoring, and selling goods in their local markets to help sustain themselves. My goal is to help as many people possible. As the charity grow, we will expand and work in other regions/countries in Africa. With more support, Save A Life Liberia can have greater impact on the children and families who are struggling to survive.

Deer Lodge Centre is a health centre specializing in geriatric care and treatment of Veterans in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The health centre began as a convalescent hospital for returning World War I soldiers in 1916 and was located in Silver Heights along west Portage Avenue. The health centre was run by Veterans Affairs Canada until 1983 when it was transferred to the province of Manitoba.

The health centre continues to serve the needs of Veterans but since its transfer to Manitoba has become the province's largest in-patient rehabilitation and long term care facility with 429 beds. It also provides a variety of out-patient services.

The health centre is the location of the J. W. Crane Memorial Library, the biggest collection of material on aging in Canada.

Expo sets new records
Posted on October 3, 2010	by DM
EXPO 2010 has made history and set new standards for World Expos, the top official of the governing body of World Expos said yesterday.
"You have achieved new records: a record number of participants, a record number of visitors, and you have built the largest site ever," Vicente Loscertales, secretary general of the International Expositions Bureau, said on China's National Pavilion Day.
Loscertales said the overwhelming success of Expo 2010 would inspire future hosts of World Expos.
"In this sense, Expo Shanghai 2010 is possibly the largest operation in Expo history," he said.
A flag-raising ceremony was held at the South Square in front of the China Pavilion at 8am.
Some new cultural performances had been prepared for the day-long festival featuring traditional drumming, Peking Opera and puppet shows.
All visitors received a pavilion badge and a postcard specially designed for the day.
He Jingtang, chief architect of the pavilion, said he walked around the structure several times yesterday to look at the many visitors lining up to enter the pavilion.
"I especially chose underwear with the China Pavilion logo today to express my happiness," the 72-year-old architect said.
The China Pavilion, one of the structures that will remain after the Expo ends on October 31, is one of the most popular.
Since 35,000 people visited on May 1 when the Expo opened, the pavilion has received more than 7.5 million visitors, or an average of 52,000 a day.
Wang Jing, an engineer from Jilin Province, said he had been waiting at the Expo entrance since 3am to get a ticket to the China Pavilion.
"I chose National Day to visit the Expo and I told myself that I must visit the China Pavilion," he said.
Hank Welch, from Atlanta in the United States, also visited especially for National Day.
He had brought his wife and two daughters to the China Pavilion to experience the festival atmosphere.
At a square near the Denmark Pavilion in Zone C, many visitors asked the three artists there to use bright colors to draw China Pavilion logos and Expo mascot Haibao on their faces.
