"These companies would be prohibited from owning both the platform utility and any participants on that platform."
if the company no longer "owns" their own platform, then who does?
Another company. Breaking up a company into multiple smaller companies ≠ nationalizing them.

"Unlike Obamacare, emerging plans would sweep away theprivate health insurance system. What would that mean for the companies' workers, the stock market and the cost of care?"
nationalised healthcare
Every other advanced nation has a single-payer or some other publicly-funded universal health insurance system. They haven't abolished private health insurance altogether. It will be no different here. And a service provided by the government does not socialism make, unless you want to argue public roads, emergency services, police & national defense, etc., are "socialism."
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/05/17/bernie-sanders-ban-forprofit-charter-schools/3709607002/
"Sen. Bernie Sanders will call for a federal ban on building for-profit charter schools in a major education policy address to be delivered Saturday in South Carolina, a senior campaign official for the 2020 presidential contender tells USA TODAY."
there are also suggestions for banning private education
Charter schools (which are a very new thing in the U.S.) operate privately and independently of the public school system and in some cases operate on a for-profit basis, but unlike traditional private schools they are largely publicly funded. If they are receiving taxpayer dollars, then it is a legitimate thing to ask if for-profit charter schools (the specific target of Sanders' objections) or even the charter school system itself should be abolished.
Abolition of all private education is an idea that is not mainstream within the Democratic Party, though it is an idea that dates back well over a century and has been a topic of discussion in some circles. Public schools have existed in America since the Colonial Era, though private schools as we know them were a product of the 19th century and were largely a response by Catholics to perceived Protestant domination of public school systems.
And it's worth pointing out: public schools are not socialism.
and there's a lot more that I've probably forgotten or overlooked, many of the major things they are campaigning on are rooted in socialism... I'm getting flashbacks of the denials that nazi germany was socialist right now
Nazi Germany operated on a war economy during WW2, but their overall economic system was the same mixed economy practiced by essentially every non-Communist nation contemporaneous to them. Private for-profit industries were not only allowed, but they thrived under Hitler's regime. The Nazis violently persecuted socialists, communists, and other leftists, and Hitler and his cronies thought "Bolshevism" was a Jewish plot.
obviously if everything must be made equal(the core ideology driving the left) then there must be centralised control to achieve that
Nobody outside of a small fringe thinks everybody ought to have exactly equal economic outcomes. It's certainly not something advocated by the Democrats. Saying "we ought to reduce income inequality" and "level the playing" field doesn't mean "everybody's income should be 100% the same."
Responses in bold.
It seems like you're operating on the common right-wing assumption that socialism is defined as "anything the government does." Conservative talking heads have been feeding this steady stream of garbage to the American public for decades now. But it was hogwash then and it's hogwash now. It is defined by public ownership of the means of production. Not regulation, not taxes, not government services. Public ownership through nationalizing private industry or direct ownership by the workers and/or consumers (e.g., cooperatives, worker-owned factories). Last I checked, the likes of Sanders and AOC weren't arguing that Walmart, Amazon, AT&T, Comcast, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, Exxon Mobil, Ford Motors, etc., etc., ought to be nationalized or forcibly converted into some kind of worker-owned co-op. The idea that they are "socialists," much less "Marxists" or "communists," cannot be taken seriously. And most of the rest of the Democrats arguably don't even qualify as center-left, much less far-left.
I especially find it funny when even major multi-billion dollar corporations get slapped with cliche Red Scare slanders. CNN has often been referred to as the "Communist News Network," as though we're expected to believe that Time Warner is actually some sort of Leninist front. I guess the ghosts of Leon Trotsky and Enver Hoxha sit on the board of directors at Comcast (MSNBC's parent company).
The red-baiting from the right long ago reached the point of self-parody.

Simple. He's the anti-politician and people hate establishment politicians.
Everyone running against him walks and talks like they've been in government their entire adult life. Those people have had enough of the establishment political class and feel his brash nature represent their collective disdain for the typical politician.
Oh and every time someone twists his words like we've seen on this board already it reinforces the belief that his opposition is just irrational-foaming at the mouth Never Trumpers. The same way how completely insane Republicans looked during Obama's two terms.
He's going to win reelection and I am going to enjoy watching the overreactions.

More people lined up for the washrooms at his rally than the number of people showing up for every democratic rally COMBINED. Democrats are just a bunch of communist clowns nowadays, nothing they stand for is American, and therefore no Americans want to waste their time listening to their crap.
@Italicized: False, as others have pointed out.
@Bolded:
Show me where in the Democratic platform, policies, or rhetoric where they suggest nationalizing the means of production.
@The rest: You don't get to define what is and isn't American. Progressives love America, too. We just have a different idea about what makes America great, and what makes for good policy. We also don't think loving your country means refusing to criticize aspects about its history or government. There's a fine line between patriotism and blind nationalism.
And lots of Americans do listen to our "crap," as you put it. That's why the Democrats won the 2018 midterms despite gerrymandering working against us, and why Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote precisely once in the past 30 years. If nobody cared what we have to say, we wouldn't win elections. Republicans are the ones that are less popular, and they make most of their successes thanks to geography, a flawed electoral system, gerrymandering, and an unfortunate tendency of progressives to sit at home and stew or vote third-party if they don't like the Democratic candidate.
Well put. I think we would blow the Republicans and establishment Democrats out of the water if there weren't so many barriers in our way like corporate money in government.

Who's twisting words? It came straight out of his big ass denture infused mouth. This whole fake news narrative his base tries to push is nauseating at best
Thing is, he didn't call Mexican immigrants rapists though.
He never mentioned Mexican immigrants. He said Mexican illegal migrants. Mexican immigrants are not the same thing as Mexican illegal migrants, despite how many people manage to confuse the two.
He said he welcomed Mexican immigrants, that's why he said about building a door in his wall to let people through so they could work at all the jobs he claimed he would create.
But why would someone try to cross illegally and not go through the course of filling out the paper work and getting a visa?
That would be be people who know they have a criminal history and would be rejected. That would be the drug dealers and people with sexual assault history.
I don't blame you for getting it all wrong. there is a lot of mis-information around these days.
So someone trying to escape a country full of crime, violence, government corruption and doesnt want to wait years to do it should automatically labled a rapist? Especially by someone who's been on record bragging about sexual assualt. Hmmmm okay...

Yeah he'll most likely win if the DNC supports Joe Biden like they did with Hillary but anybody who thinks he's not part of the establishment or at the very least enables its agenda is delusional. He puts in place and is regularly for corporate establishment policies. Really the only thing that's not "establishment" about him is attitude and that he's extremely blunt, to put it nicely.

Another company."
under what political system would you place the authoritarian redistribution of resources in this way? beyond that can you quote for me where she has mentioned another business?
"Every other advanced nation has a single-payer or some other publicly-funded universal health insurance system."
which is a completely irrelevant red herring
"And a service provided by the government does not socialism make"
When all of the private options are consolidated into a centrally controlled system then yes, yes it does
I'm curious btw if you're going to jump as far as claiming its only socialism when there is no state
"Abolition of all private education is an idea that is not mainstream within the Democratic Party"
but is gaining traction which was my point
"but their overall economic system was the same mixed economy"
the nazis controlled all of the businesses in germany, they decided how they would operate and only allowed businesses inline with their agenda to survive, that can hardly be considered a mixed economy and especially not a capitalist economy as many dishonest people have claimed
"The Nazis violently persecuted socialists, communists, and other leftists"
what does this say about their policies? I thought we were talking about policy?'
" Last I checked, the likes of Sanders and AOC weren't arguing that Walmart, Amazon, AT&T, Comcast, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, Exxon Mobil, Ford Motors, etc., etc., ought to be nationalized or forcibly converted into some kind of worker-owned co-op."
https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/workplace-democracy-policy-bernie-sanders
"Bernie Sanders's embrace of worker ownership and control aims to extend democracy from the political sphere to the economy."
"As revealed Tuesday by the Washington Post, the Sanders presidential campaign is currently working on two proposals designed to win American workers a greater share of profits and give them a bigger say in company decisions.
While details are forthcoming, the first will involve requiring large businesses to put a portion of their stock into employee-controlled funds, which would in turn pay out dividends to workers — potentially turning them into owners."
what do you think the ultimate goal of the proposals made here is?
"It seems like you're operating on the common right-wing assumption that socialism is defined as "anything the government does.""
I understand your desire to caricature my argument in this way, but I've clarified how you are wrong
"It is defined by public ownership of the means of production."
which is what democrats are calling for in some areas as I've clarified
"much less "Marxists" or "communists"
who exactly are you arguing with? are you doing the thing where someone makes a point you disagree with and so therefore you just lump them in with everyone you disagree with and assume they are saying the exact same thing?
I think you even at one point suggested I'm right wing lol
" CNN has often been referred to as the "Communist News Network"
why do people say that?

I totally agree. Trump is the complete mirror of what America is and he represents exactly our standards. He is exactly what every American harbors in their hearts and he reflect the current values and morals of this Nation. I hope he gets another 4 years so that he can cement who he is and what America is. Maybe he can actually change the laws so he can serve a 3rd term which would be even better.
Alternatively, he could announce Charlie Sheen as his successor after the second term. Charlie is also an iconic figure who represents American values and he has already proven that he has mastered the art of spin during his time as the second mayor of New York City.
I have a better idea. Instead of Charlie Sheen it should be done by Carlos Estevez, he has already experience in this area:

Oh, he already has a very convincing clip for election (he has my vote):

Yeah. It boggles my mind how people believe of all the democratic candidates is the one most likely to beat Trump, that is most similar to the last nominee that ... lost against Trump.
I think overall this electability argument is wrong. People need policies that make their life better. It doesn't matter who and how. If people focus on electability, they get politicians that do the same regardless of party affiliation. Instead they should focus on the policies they want and push them. Even if the candidate with that policies loses in the end, the policies got more exposure and other candidates might pick them up.

Q: Using Angular 4 component as widget (on a static website) Is there any way to inject my Angular 4 component (widget-like mail window app using webpack) into any static website, preferably using the <script> tag?
Found some blog posts but all of them are using SystemJS and my app is using webpack and there seem to be no results with that.

A: Angular app must always have root element, which is usually inserted in index.html's <body>. Assuming you have written your widget, in which root component f.e. is <widget>, you can mix it up with any static markup you have on your page:
<!doctype html>
<html>

  <head>
    <title>title</title>
  </head>

  <body>

    <header>
        <nav>Brand</nav>
    </header>

    <aside>
        Menu
        <!-- It can also be injected in any other element -->
        <widget></widget>
    </aside>

    <main>
        Content
    </main>

  </body>

</html>

If your app is bootstrapped with Angular CLI, which under the hood uses webpack, just put your static markup in src/index.html and you are done.
Edited: if you want to inject your widget into any other page, you can try to do this with following steps:

*

*Create one more script, in which create your app's root element and then paste it into the body

*Bundle your Angular app into static files. Better to have one .js file for simplicity.

*Dynamically create script element and supply static bundle's path to script's src

*Dynamically inject it into the page's body

Kind of like that:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    window.addEventListener('load', () => {
      const widgetElement = document.createElement('widget')
      // document.body is not necessary here, it can be any other element
      document.body.appendChild(widgetElement)

      const widgetCode = document.createElement('script')
      widgetCode.src = '<path to bundled angular app>'
      document.body.appendChild(widgetCode)
    })
</script>

I've created plnkr, which may help you a bit

A: you can use custom elements in angular to creat a custom component and then you build your projetc with npm run build element, it will generate a script .js for you where all your applications is built into. And then you can inject the script into any other project or a simple html page and it will load youre application.
May be my explanation is not very clear you can see cutom elements in angular main website.

Jesus, how we love you. You sacrificed heaven for us. You gave up dignity to redeem us. You destroyed death to assure us. But today, we are most thankful and most aware that every prayer we offer and every step we take you are in the Father's presence to bless us. Thank you very much. Amen.
1"Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going." 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me."
Jesus came to fulfill God's assure to bring his people, not simply to a land flowing with milk and honey, but to a restored paradise and new conception where we can dwell with God in perfect peace and unity. That is why Jesus proclaims, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. Jesus does not just give advice and direction. He individually is the Way, and we cannot miss it. Through his life-giving word and Spirit, Jesus leads and guides us individually every day. The Lord Jesus also is the Truth. Many can say, "I have educated you the truth." Only Jesus can say, I am the Truth. Moral truth cannot be conveyed in words alone; it must be conveyed in instance. Jesus embodies the truth in his person. Jesus also is the Life. He not only shows us the path of life; he gives the kind of life which only God can give - plentiful life which never fails nor ends. Is there any fear or trouble that keeps us from the ideal peace and happiness of a life surrendered to Jesus Christ? Loving Infant Jesus, you fill us with the joy of your saving presence and you give us the hope of everlasting life with the Father in Heaven. Show us the Father that we may always know and glorify him.

Yamaha signs Deepika Padukone to endorse its scooter range
Posted by: Jay Posted date: July 26, 2012 In: Auto News, Yamaha
All set to make its grand entry into the Indian scooter market, India Yamaha Motor today announced that it has signed up Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone as the face of Yamaha Scooters in India. This is the first time that the actress will endorse an automobile product and Yamaha is upbeat that her feminine yet sporty disposition will gel easily with the Indian target audience. While Deepika will endorse the scooter section of Yamaha, John Abraham will continue to be the brand ambassador of the company's flagship bikes.
As per the deal, Deepika will make appearances in commercials which are already lined up. The bubbly and active image of the actress will complement the sporty and stylish scooter that Yamaha has to offer to its female customers which will primarily be under the age of 24 years. This visual connection will provide appropriate value addition to the brand and will bring the product alive onscreen. Moreover, she appeals to the Indian youth both through her movies and her off screen appearances. Her stature in the film industry goes well with Yamaha's current positioning in the two-wheeler industry.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Hiroyuki Suzuki, CEO and MD, India Yamaha Motor Pvt.Ltd. said, "We are very pleased with our alliance with Ms. Deepika Padukone to endorse our scooter 'Ray' which just like Deepika signifies 'Cool & Beauty'. Being young, fit, sporty and stylish, Ms. Deepika has all the elements that our customers will subscribe to when they buy our scooters. The youth adore her, respect her and follow her because she signifies an inherent sense of style that easily blends in with that of brand Yamaha. We look forward to have a longstanding and fruitful association with her."
"Yamaha has been a preferred brand with the youth who understand and connect well with technology, performance and the spirit of sporting endeavors. We have replicated these inherent ingredients in our scooters as well for the aspiring Indian women under the age of 24 years. We do expect the women customers to become a core part of our future growth strategy."
John Abraham has done a commendable job for Yamaha in the past years and now that Deepika has come on board, they will collectively add strength to the product line up of Yamaha and take the brand to new heights in the times to come.
The development is in line with the company's effort to strengthen its brand particularly in the scooter market. The company will continue with the YES! YAMAHA campaign which was introduced a couple of years ago. As part of the YES! YAMAHA campaign, many initiatives have been launched including 'Bring back the Joy' campaign, 'Chabi Ghumao, Bike Le jao' contest (Turn the key, win a bike contest) to name a few.

It surely can't be coincidental that in 2015 we had the release of two prison movies in which a cop whose wife has been killed by a big-time criminal commits a major offence to get into prison to avenge his wife's murder; the other being Vendetta. Perhaps the same story was pitched to several film-makers, and these two just happened to pick it up… unaware that the other had, too. Anyway, I'm not sure which I like better.. but this certainly wins in the novelty stakes.

It's not my favorite dressing. I'd rather have dressing made from scratch than out of the box, but it is affordable. There's only a few ingredients you need to make the meal and it's quicker than homemade dressing, but I'd rather wait for a few hours than eat this.


It also features a 9-inch infotainment system with capacitive touch and which also supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink, with cues from the Superb.
The Czech automaker, Skoda will be launching the Octavia facelift version on July 13th 2017, the company confirmed through a press invite. The carmaker unveiled the new Octavia in October last year.
Skoda has started accepting bookings for the saloon with the minimum booking amount is Rs. 51,000, with a waiting period of two to three months depending on the variant. The new Octavia is expected to be priced between Rs.19.28 Lakh – Rs 23.35 lakhs (under the GST norms) which is lower than the outgoing model.
The new facelifted Octavia comes with new styling upgrades and a host of new features. The new model is based on Volkswagen's MQB platform.
Talking about the exteriors, the front fascia is completely re-done with new Quadra LED headlights, the signature butterfly grille along with LED DRLs and fog lamps integrated in the bumper.
The design cues are inspired from its elder sibling, Skoda Superb, giving the Octavia facelift sharper features, bold character lines, sculpted wheel arches and chrome highlights. The side profile stands out with the new set of 17-inch alloy wheels. The rear of the Octavia gets a revised bumper and tail-light cluster design.
Inside, the cabin of the facelifted Octavia remains identical to the current outgoing model, but with subtle changes, like the new dual tone light beige and black interiors, and a new three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel.
There's also ambient lighting and a large electrically operated panoramic sunroof. The boot is quite large with 580 liters of space, along with 60:40 split rear seats.
Under the hood, the new Octavia expected to come in three variants – one diesel and two petrol variants. The diesel variant will be powered by a 2.0L TDI engine which churns out 145Ps of power and a peak torque of 320Nm, and comes mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual clutch auto option.
While the petrol variant come with two engine options – 1.4L TSI turbo petrol producing 149Ps of power and paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a 1.8L TSI petrol engine that churns out 180Ps of power, comes paired to a w7-speed DSG transmission.
As far as safety is concerned, the top-end variant gets 8 airbags while the base trim gets 4 airbags. ABS with EBD and traction control come as standard with all variants.


Finally, it seems, there is some good news. Even while the financial crisis continues to topple banks around the world and many developed countries are now officially in recession, a ray of light has appeared: rice production is expected to reach record highs this year.
Ironically, part of the reason for this is that shrewd producers planted more when prices peaked in 2008, excited by the prospects of higher returns. But also many governments actively encouraged more planting to stave off the very real likelihood of national rice shortages. Now they are reaping the rewards and global rice stockpiles are to be replenished after running dangerously low last year. It goes to show how much can be achieved in a very short space of time - and, of course, with favourable weather.
Swift, decisive action is key in many areas of agricultural development, not least in the livestock sector too. Disease, crossbreeding and climate change all present growing threats to unique and well-adapted animal breeds in different parts of the world. Fortunately, the international community is waking up to the need to document and conserve indigenous animals, as we report in this edition's Focus on. From the threat of global warming in the islands of the southwest Pacific, to the highlands of Argentinean Patagonia and the plains of the Serengeti, we look at the importance of conservation and some of the challenges faced by humans and animals alike.
Innovation is also essential for protecting and improving livelihoods, as we see in this edition's In pictures, where farmers in the slums of Kampala are using vegetable waste for animal feed and domestic fuel. The spirit of entrepreneurship is also evident in Developments, where we report on the boom in sea cucumber farming in Madagascar, where wild stocks had collapsed due to overfishing. The initiative has been so successful that wild sea cucumbers are now beginning to re-establish themselves. We also report on successful rice intensification trials in Mali, while, on a more sobering note, A global partnership to end hunger makes it clear that, despite numerous interventions around the world, the international community will not meet its Millennium Development Goal to halve poverty and malnutrition by 2015. But with concerted effort and combined strength, there might be a way to limit the damage caused by shocks to the world food system, which last year pushed the number of people living in absolute poverty to nearly 1 billion.
Diversifying production is one way to protect against unfavourable swings in the market - if you have the means to do it. Honduras is perilously dependent on banana production, as reported in Country profile, and already the big banana companies are looking to new plantations in Africa as plummeting soil fertility and disease pressures caused by decades of monoculture take their toll.
Soil also features in Points of view, where experts discuss what Africa needs in order to address its own long-running soil fertility problems. Our lead title in Book reviews, Soil not oil, by Vandana Shiva, makes a passionate call for protecting soil as a fundamental building block of human life. With revolutionary zeal, Shiva extols the virtues of organic production as central to the future of sustainable food production.
Finally, with 2008 designated the UN's International Year of Natural Fibres, cotton expert Karim Hussein gives his perspective on smallscale fibre production in West and Central Africa, with lessons that are relevant to natural fibre producers everywhere.
We hope New Agriculturist will bring a greater understanding of the complexities of agricultural development around the world, and perhaps even help you formulate ways of changing and improving it.
Saving African soils: grounds for hope?

Smashing the Myth of the Model Minority
Vijay Prashad is the author of The Karma of Brown Folk, a South Asian American response to W.E.B. DuBois's The Souls of Black Folk. Challenging the stereotype of Asians as a model minority, the book reveals how South Asians are deployed as "weapons in the war against black America," and asks the probing question, "How does it feel to be a solution?" A well-known activist, Vijay Prashad is also an Assistant Professor of International Studies at Trinity College, a frequent columnist at Z Magazine and Little India and one of the organizers of Youth Solidarity Summer (YSS), a summer training program for radical South Asian youth activists. Additionally, he is the author of Untouchable Freedom: A Social History of a Dalit Community.
Can you talk a little about YSS? What are the goals of this organization and when was it started? Why is it important to teach South Asian American youth about the history of radicalism both in the U.S. and on the subcontinent?
A small group of us, affiliated with the Forum of Indian Leftists (FOIL), started YSS in late 1996 for two main reasons. First, we were very concerned about the youth camps started by the Hindu Right, many of which claimed to address the problems of Indian American youth, but which more often than not simply provided them with chauvanisms of various kinds. Second, and more importantly, many of us in FOIL had been in touch with second-generation South Asian American progressive youth who had a real hard time being radical desis. Many felt that to be desi was to be conservative, and to be radical was to be not desi. We wanted to provide these young people with a way to be radical desis, to feel what it is like to be part of the heritage of Ghadar, in line with the Ghadar Party founded in 1913 by radical desis in San Francisco. Since 1997, the year of the first YSS, we've had over a hundred people go through YSS and most of these young people, like the 30 who came this year, have given us so much strength, as they return to their communities to provide radical leadership. Our collective of 12, all volunteers, who run the program with almost no money, are thrilled by the humble, but crucial success of YSS.
Why did YSS chose to stand on the sidelines of this year's Indian Independence Day Parade [in New York] rather than march? Why do you think the parade has become such a contested ground for defining "Indianness" and Indian identity in New York?
I think radical people are often more comfortable in demonstrations or marches than parades. In demonstrations people join together and participate collectively. Everyone marches. In a parade, only a few march and the rest are asked to watch rather passively. I wish we could have a desi March Against Racism and Intolerance rather than an India Day Parade. We have much to celebrate, but we also have many more collective struggles. I'm into taking up space in midtown Manhattan and sending a message that we are here, we belong, we can walk down the street without apology and fear. I like that feeling, and you can see that in the eyes of the desis during the Parade. But the Parade really fails to empower us. The 'leadership' uses the Parade as a photo opportunity to gain power for themselves, and we're not comfortable giving more power to them. Which is why we like to stand on the sidelines and jeer and cheer. Also, the parade has, since 1981, become more and more corporate and less of a community institution. What does Dunkin Donuts have to do with India Day? Or the airlines, insurance companies, TV stations? We're into being on the sidelines, making a space for people to move from being spectators to being spect-actors. Yes it is a fight over desiness, and we want to fight it from the massified margins and not from the middle of the street.
How do you think South Asian Americans fare in the upcoming presidential election? Are South Asian Americans forming their own distinct political voices? How are these voices influenced by what you call "Yankee Hindutva"?
I think that the elections don't seem to have any impact upon the desis this year. The Yankee Hindutva types are nonplussed over the elections because both parties will enable them to be 'patriotic.' It is ironic that these 'patriots' are the first to shovel cash into the coffers of the Republicans (they are most favored by the Right for obvious reasons). Their 'patriotism' is simple: they are jingoistic for whomever will allow them the freedom to make money. Whether saffron or red/white/blue, these cats are heavily into the green. But the bulk of the desis who run for office do so on the Democratic ticket, mainly because of the Democrats' historical association with people of color. But they are given tickets in races that cannot be won. There are no desis in major elected office, this not from want of trying. Besides many of those who run are rank opportunists who do not have deep links to the community, but who come to it for money with the claim that 'don't you want an Indian in Congress'? Why? Just because they are 'Indian'? Absurd. And what are issues that motivate desis? Things to do with the 'homeland' or things that have to do with the exploitation and oppression of desis and others in the U.S.? No politician in this election is running on a platform to make the immigration policy, especially H1B, a policy for people and not for capital. Bill Gates is their boy regardless of the law-suits, whereas the Indian cyber-coolies are to be burned over and over. And even this issue will divide desis, since some of the most sophisticated exploiters of desi technical labor are other desis (such as in Silicon Valley).
As you note in The Karma of Brown Folk, the VHP is incredibly popular abroad. Why do you think they have achieved this form of popularity in the diaspora?
Several years ago, Biju Mathew and I began to investigate and write about the VHP, and found that it gained popularity because of an opening afforded it by the liberal state. Under pressure from people of color, the U.S. state grudgingly accepted the idea of multiculturalism, in which each 'culture' was to be somehow tolerated. The idea of 'culture' embraced by the state was static and without history, and the arbiter of 'culture' was to be the orthodoxy. Since 'India' was seen as spiritual, the 'culture' of India was seen as religion, mainly Hinduism. The VHPA was sanctified to begin its exertions amongst the Indian Americans due to this, and it used its massive resources and terrific organization to propagate a rather virulent brand of chauvinism. In my book, I show how it tackles the racism felt by desis with a racism of its own. Biju and I also have an article on this theme in the recent issue of the English journal Ethnic and Racial Studies.
In The Karma of Brown Folk, you speak a lot of the subtext involved in the discussion of Indians as a model minority. Your claim is that white praise for the success of Indian immigrants is at the expense of the Black and Latino working poor. Can you talk a little about how this "model minority" myth functions? How can South Asians resist this "model minority" label?
The basic idea is this: Dinesh D'Souza asks, "why can't an African American be more like an Asian?'" The basic assumption is that Asians are somehow superior to African Americans and Latinos. These conservatives then claim that it is family structure and discipline that accounts for this difference, and not racism, for Asians are also 'minorities.' What they disregard is the historical process of the construction of Asians in the U.S. We came here not as enslaved people, but as technical workers through the good graces of the immigration regime. Our success, I argue in the book, is not a result of Natural Selection, but of State Selection. You have to read the book to see how to fight this, but my main idea is for us to commit model minority suicide!
In your book you do a good job of uncovering a history of solidarity among Indians and Blacks. Have you seen much coalition-building between South Asian and African American youth in the U.S. today? Do issue-based coalitions (like those against police brutality or for the rights of taxi drivers) hold up for other issues as well?
Of course. I'm on the Board of the Center for Third World Organizing in Oakland, CA. At CTWO we've seen so many desis who want to work on social justice themes. For several years, the executive director of CTWO was Rinku Sen. Rinku, people like Urvashi Vaid at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Arvind Ganeshan formerly of Human Rights Watch, Amit Pal of the Progressive Media Project, these are examples of a few people who are part of building the terrain of solidarity. I think of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance as more than an issue-based coalition. It is an alliance of immigrant workers, and it is on the terrain of immigrant work that many new forms of solidarity will be constructed. I want to write a book with the title Is Immigrant a Type of Race which will develop this theme. I'm currently writing a book Raw Skin'(Beacon Press, 2001) which is about Afro-Asian solidarity. There is much to look at here and more to look forward to politically.
What do you make of the use of the term "desi" in the U.S.? Do you think this means the second generation has formed an identity over and above political boundaries on the subcontinent?
I love the word 'desi.' It is so beautiful. I can go around saying it over and over again. I'm of the view that it is the best word to describe ourselves. Phrases like African Americacan, Asian American, Hispanic American, etc. are bureaucratic words that do not hold within them the revolutionary aspirations and histories of a people (categorized but not controlled). I prefer words like Black, desi, Latino, Chicano, because these words raise associations of struggles, such as the Black Power movement ('Black is Beautiful,' etc.), the Chicano struggles of the farm workers, of La Raza, and what not. Desi seems to be a similar word, one filled with so much historical emotion. And again, it is an ironic word, because it means of the homeland, but it does not say what that homeland is. We who use it do not hearken back to the 'homeland' of the subcontinent, because we are generally not nationalistic in that sense. Our homeland is an imaginary one that stretches from Jackson Heights to the Ghadar Party, from the rallies against Dotbusters to the Komagata Maru, from the 1965 Immigration Act to Devon Street. This is a homeland that we can relate to and it is what makes us feel like we belong in something of a collectivity. Hence desi. And [the term] is under construction.

In memory of my friend Susan Moseley
I have a lot I want to write up about my trip to Quebec, and in particular about both Camp Violon Trad and Memoire et Racines. This post, though, is about news I received while Dara, Vicka, and I were going to Memoire et Racines: i.e., that my friend Susan Moseley had passed away.
Some many months ago Susan had told me in email that she'd been diagnosed with a stage 4 brain cancer. That deeply alarmed me at the time, because yeah, I know from experience with brain cancer; it's what killed my mother. For a while Susan hung in there, emailing me periodically and letting me know how she was doing. But I'd not heard from her much this year at all, and had not received any reply to the last couple of times I'd emailed her to let her know I was thinking of her. So I'd started to worry about whether her health had taken a turn for the worse.
Apparently it had, because while we were in Joliette for Memoire et Racines (and staying in the nearby community of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies), Susan's daughter Clare sent out word to her mother's Facebook friends about a memorial they're having for her. Which served as my notice that yeah, they'd lost her. :/
I gave Clare my deepest condolences, and, since I can't go to the memorial the family is having for her, I wanted to write up this post about Susan and what she meant to me, a longer version of what I posted to Facebook.
I first met Susan online via the Le Vent du Nord Facebook page, when I first announced myself as a new fan of the group, and inviting other fans to come and chat with me. Susan emailed me and we hit it off pretty splendidly. She was responsible not only for my eventual decision to try to go to my first Le Vent du Nord show–but also for that show turning out to be the one back in 2012 that took place right before Dara and I got double-married in Canada with our friends Elane and Bai. She even arranged to get us a bottle of champagne. It was awesome.
She was also a significant supporter of the 2012 Kickstarter I ran for the second edition of Faerie Blood along with the release of Bone Walker. And by supporter, I mean not only monetarily, but also contributing significant beta reading effort for Bone Walker. We're talking old school proofreading, too. She printed off the entire manuscript and wrote her remarks up on it. And then mailed it to me. I was super impressed by this, though she modestly demurred about having done anything special.
Dara and I got to meet her in person only once, during the 2012 Great Atlantic Canada Adventure. But we did spend a lovely afternoon with her wandering around Toronto. And, as I recall, she was wearing a Doctor Who shirt.
She sent me print copies of her daughter's wonderful Ensign Sue Must Die comics, all three parts thereof.
She sent me a double album of music by the Stringband, by way of furthering my familiarity with Canadian folk music.
She sent me a couple of adorable little fingerpuppets made in the likeness of Elvis (an obvious choice for me, of course) and Virginia Woolf (NOT an obvious choice for me). They are now living on our refrigerator, since they have magnets on them.
She sent me tickets for Dara and me to get into the Le Vent show at Hermann's jazz club in Victoria, which has since gone down in my personal fangirl history as "the first show where I had the mammoth".
And oh, her love for Le Vent du Nord. My own affection for this band got a lot of its initial fuel from her, just because she spoke so highly of these boys not only as musicians, but also as people. She arranged multiple gigs for them in Uxbridge. She gave them meals and crash space and in general, from what she told me, was an excellent den mother type making it easy for them to go make awesome noises at all her neighbors.
It was very, very obvious to me from her emails how much she loved them, and now, every time I see them play, I will think of her. And I'll hope that a little bit of her soul will waft along with every note they hit.
Rest in peace, dear Susan. I'll miss you.

zsh-syntax-highlighting / tests
===============================

Utility scripts for testing zsh-syntax-highlighting highlighters.

The tests harness expects the highlighter directory to contain a `test-data`
directory with test data files.
See the [main highlighter](../highlighters/main/test-data) for examples.

Each test should define the array parameter `$expected_region_highlight`.
The value of that parameter is a list of strings of the form  `"$i $j $style"`.
or `"$i $j $style $todo"`.
Each string specifies the highlighting that `$BUFFER[$i,$j]` should have;
that is, `$i` and `$j` specify a range, 1-indexed, inclusive of both endpoints.
If `$todo` exists, the test point is marked as TODO (the failure of that test
point will not fail the test), and `$todo` is used as the explanation.

**Note**: `$region_highlight` uses the same `"$i $j $style"` syntax but
interprets the indexes differently.

**Isolation**: Each test is run in a separate subshell, so any variables,
aliases, functions, etc., it defines will be visible to the tested code (that
computes `$region_highlight`), but will not affect subsequent tests.  The
current working directory of tests is set to a newly-created empty directory,
which is automatically cleaned up after the test exits.

Highlighting test
-----------------

[`test-highlighting.zsh`](tests/test-highlighting.zsh) tests the correctness of
the highlighting. Usage:

    zsh test-highlighting.zsh <HIGHLIGHTER NAME>

All tests may be run with

    make test

which will run all highlighting tests and report results in [TAP format][TAP].

A few video clips from day 1 of Little Wars in Chicago. These clips were taken pretty early in the day as the crowds were still arriving. I'll do another video tomorrow and you'll see even more games being played. I hope you enjoy.
Lets talk about packing miniatures and scenery for transporting to a convention in your airline luggage. Check out what I've got planned for my stuff and please feel free to leave comments if you have ideas as well. I transport tons of stuff to local conventions that I drive to .. but I normally never bring things with me on flights … so this is all kinda new to me.


Founded by arts writer and arts activist Jennifer Rabin (Willamette Week, Oregon ArtsWatch, Visual Art Source, Hyperallergic), Art Passport PDX is a program dedicated to encouraging more engagement in Portland's visual arts scene with the opportunity to win $1,600 towards building an art collection. To participate, members of the community collect stamps from the eight participating galleries to fill their art passport (available at Stephanie Chefas Projects and other participating galleries) before the June 15th deadline. To earn a stamp, simply have a conversation with gallery staff about their exhibitions and artists. More information can be found at www.artpassportpdx.com.
In addition to demystifying the white-box gallery world, one of the goals of the program is to nurture a new generation of art collectors. This includes spreading the word that most galleries accept payment plans, which means that it's possible to purchase one-of-a-kind art for small monthly payments. Stephanie Chefas Projects has put together a selection of artwork ranging from $100 – $1,000 for first-time collectors to peruse. These works have been proudly featured in previous exhibitions with the gallery and many are available for viewing in the Gallery Annex, please ask to see them during your visit. For a complete list of available works, please visit our Inventory Page.

Great work with the sketch! I love the stencil you used...I think that's what it is, and the whole layout is soooo pretty!


FLINT, Mich. - General Motοrs Co <> is intensifying its attack οn rival Fοrd Motοr Co's <> lead in sales to U.S. cοmmercial fleets to prοp up prοfit margins amid weakening cοnsumer demand, accοrding to executives at the No. 1 U.S. automaker.
GM is cοunting οn new medium-duty Silverados - outfitted as tow trucks, utility bucket trucks and delivery trucks - to lift demand fοr its light-duty trucks and cars. Automakers estimate fοr every medium-duty truck a cοrpοrate customer buys, they purchase up to six pickup trucks, SUVs, οr passenger cars.
The need fοr automakers to bοlster U.S. sales and keep plants humming was highlighted last week when GM slated five Nοrth American factοries fοr pοtential closure, including two making the type of sedan that has fallen out of favοr with American cοnsumers. Fοrd annοunced it would shuffle wοrkers frοm slower to busier plants.
Most majοr automakers οn Mοnday also repοrted lower U.S. November sales.
But a 24.1 percent jump in cοmmercial fleet sales in November versus the same mοnth in 2017 helped GM offset a 1 percent retail sales drοp, accοrding to a source briefed οn figures GM does nοt make public οn a mοnthly basis.
GM Nοrth America chief Alan Batey told Reuters in a recent interview the automaker has pursued a lοng-term strategy to cut lower-margin rental fleet sales and bοost mοre lucrative cοmmercial sales.
GM's rental sales are arοund 10 percent of total sales this year, down frοm 15.8 percent in 2013, accοrding to industry data. In the same period, GM's cοmmercial sales have risen to mοre than 11 percent frοm 7.8 percent of sales.
Batey said prοductiοn of GM's medium-duty trucks, which begins this week under a partnership with truck maker Navistar Internatiοnal Cοrp <> as an extensiοn of the Chevrοlet Silverado pickup truck mοdel line, is a milestοne in the automaker's mοve to increase market share.
GM exited the segment during its bankruptcy in 2009. It οriginally annοunced the planned Navistar venture in September 2015.
GM and Fοrd cοmpete fοr business frοm cοmpanies like engineering-services firm U.S. Infrastructure Co, which has arοund 9,000 vehicles, mοstly light-duty Chevrοlet Colοrado pickup trucks. USIC's wοrkers mark cable lines, water pipes and other undergrοund infrastructure befοre cοntractοrs start digging holes in the grοund.
USIC fleet manager Phil Samuelsοn said in a recent interview the cοmpany needs arοund 20 medium-duty trucks, fast. GM wοn his οrder by prοmising to accelerate prοductiοn of his trucks.
"We have a great relatiοnship with GM and we saw nο reasοn nοt to cοntinue that," he said.
Satisfying customers like USIC cοuld help GM next year when Fοrd launches its Ranger pickup, a direct cοmpetitοr fοr the Colοrado.
Rising cοmmercial fleet sales have lifted GM's net prοfit by $1 billiοn over the last five years, accοrding to sources familiar with GM's financials.
Commercial fleet sales are increasingly impοrtant as cοnsumer vehicle sales are set to weaken over the next cοuple of years after an eight-year recοvery.
Fοrd, GM and FCA cοntrοl arοund 77 percent of cοmmercial fleet sales fοr Classes 1 thrοugh 6 - frοm passenger cars to the biggest medium-duty trucks - though Fοrd dominates at 40 percent, accοrding to data cοmpiled by Cox Automοtive fοr Reuters frοm nοn-public sources. GM has arοund 25 percent market share.
Fοrd executives say they have nο special plans to cοunter GM's expanded truck pοrtfοlio. "We're just gοing to do what we always do," said John Ruppert, Fοrd's general manager fοr cοmmercial vehicle sales.
Thrοugh November, GM's cοmmercial fleet sales rοse 13.5 percent cοmpared with a 5.1 percent increase at Fοrd.
U.S. auto retail sales are fοrecast to fall over the next two years. But cοmmercial fleet sales should rise, partly because of tax write-offs in the 2017 U.S. federal tax overhaul.
"If retail sales cοme down, yοur factοries are still humming ... if yοu're selling to cοmmercial fleets," said Zohaib Rahim, Cox Automοtive's ecοnοmic and industry insights manager.
GM's decisiοn to re-enter the medium-duty truck segment was driven by cοmmercial customers that seek several types of vehicle in package deals.
"If I want a medium-duty truck I end up gοing to Fοrd and the chances are I'll also buy my pickup truck frοm Fοrd instead of GM," said Kenny Vieth, president of sales fοrecasting firm ACT Research.
"Dealers desperately need these trucks to gο after industries we haven't been able to gο to with existing prοduct," said John Schwegman, GM's cοmmercial prοduct directοr.
Keith McCluskey, owner of McCluskey Chevrοlet in Cincinnati, Ohio, said his cοmmercial fleets nοw accοunt fοr 10 percent of his sales, down frοm 40 percent when he last sold GM medium-duty trucks.
McCluskey has built a new $8 milliοn service facility partly fοr cοmmercial customers and aims to sell 1,000 medium-duty trucks annually.


We loved capturing Caelan's story from maternity, birth to his newborn session below!
He is so adorable in everything we put him in. It was such a pleasure photographing Caelan and his mom and dad! We love all the sweet portraits we captured. Showing this little feet, lips, hands, and face - already different as he grows up. Newborns are only newborns for the first few weeks of their lives. It goes so fast!

Ambivalent Neighbors: The EU, NATO and the Price of Membership
Anatol Lieven, Dmitri Trenin
Highly distinguished contributors from both East and West examine the complicated and multi-faceted process of NATO and EU enlargement in the context of the changed global situation since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Almost fifteen years after the end of the Cold War, the process of creating a "Europe whole and free" is incomplete and likely to be so for the foreseeable future. In this volume, a group of highly distinguished contributors from both East and West examines the complicated and multi-faceted process of NATO and EU enlargement in the context of the changed global situation since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
These essays examine the enlargement processes not only from the perspective of the West and western institutions, but also from the point of view of the former communist countries themselves. This approach reflects the conviction that the eastward movements of NATO and the EU should not be regarded simply as western-led processes to which the eastern states must adapt as best they can. If an enlarged NATO and EU are to be stable and successful in the long run, they must take account of the wishes and interests of both their new, former-communist members and those European states which will not for the foreseeable future be members of NATO, the EU, or both.

Anatol Lieven is senior associate in the Russian and Eurasian Program at the Carnegie Endowment. He is the author of several books including Chechnya: Tombstone of Russian Power.
Dmitri Trenin is director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. He is the author of numerous books, including The End of Eurasia: Russia on the Border Between Geopolitics and Globalization and coauthor of Russia's Restless Frontier: The Chechnya Factor in Post-Soviet Russia.
Praise for this publication
"Together the essays and introduction make a powerful exposition of the complexities and dangers of the new 'Pan Europe'. They certainly are an antidote to anyone's remaining inclination toward careless optimism. At the same time, the detailed insight with which the book abounds is a very good start for serious thinking about what must be done to avoid a disagreeable future. Obviously, it should be of great interest to West Europeans and Russians, as well as Americans."
— David P. Calleo, Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University
"A well-balanced, well-meshed, incisive exploration of the prospects and problems ahead for those inside and outside an expanding Europe. Not only does the book do what no other has by thinking through the implications of EU and NATO expansion for Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and the rest of those left out, it portrays in far more realistic terms just how complex the politics of European foreign relations threaten to become."
—Robert Legvold, Columbia University

An exploration of Vung Tau revealed its many roles in the lives of the Aussie troops, many of whom passed through on their way to the Task Force base, or returned later for a few days R&R in the bars (salubrious and otherwise) of this town that was also once a holiday resort for French colonialists.
The White Palace (the former French Governor's summer retreat) speaks to a more distant history while the statue of Jesus – reached by a 700-step climb – is the more obvious remnant of American presence. The airport that once served the Huey, Chinook and SkyCrane Allied choppers is now a helicopter base servicing oil rigs in the Eastern Sea (aka the South China Sea … but you're not supposed to call it that any more).
Up on the lighthouse hill we got a great view of Vung Tau below us and you will see a brass coloured dome on the lower left of the panorama which is roughly where the Australian Logistical Support Groups (ALSG) was once based. The Imperial Hotel now occupies the site of the Peter Badcoe Club (archive picture) where Australian soldiers were billeted while on R&R.
In the bars, Russian oil workers have replaced Diggers but the girls seem to offer the same services their grandmothers once provided to the Australian and American troops. Vung Tau has grown tenfold in size since the 1970s when it offered blessed relief from the stresses of jungle patrols and camp life in general. But it's still a beautiful town with well-kept roads and streets and friendly smiles wherever you go.
We finished our tour at Tommy 3 bar where former Digger Glenn Nolan has created a little corner of Australia with everything from footy shirts to Anzac memorabilia. He also set us up to watch a couple of videos, while we ate lunch, to set us up for our impending trips to Nui Dat, the Horseshoe and Long Tan.
Thanks to our tour guest Brendan for these shots from the Lighthouse Hill above Vung Tau and the hotel on the site of the former Peter Badcoe Club.

Cement industry to support rural development
Industry highlighted the relevance of cement industry to fully support the rural development at a conference organised by CIIrn
By RM Bureau | December 26, 2015
No Claps
Industry highlighted the relevance of cement industry to fully support the rural development at a conference organised by CII.
Cement Industry is one of the essential sectors for economic growth pivotal for the growth of other social, agricultural and industrial activities. The government's focus on building infrastructure will support in translating into double digit growth for demand for cement as various schemes and initiatives announced by the government gather steam, said Chaudhary Birender Singh, Hon'ble Minister of Rural Development. Singh was speaking at the Inaugural Session of the Indian Cement Conference 2015 – "Make in India – Urban Infrastructure & Smart Cities" organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in New Delhi.
While highlighting the various opportunities for the industry supported by the changing consumption pattern in rural and urban areas and the recent initiatives taken by the government to stimulate infrastructure, construction and residential sectors, the Minister shared the government's plans to support the rural development like raising the amount under Indira Aawas Yojana (AAY) from current Rs 70,000 to Rs 1,50,000 and dove-tailing the benefits of MGNREGA into the rural housing scheme which will further raise the demand for cement. He added that a consolidated procurement model could be effective in reducing overall costs. The Minister underlined that cement intrinsically provides quality and durability and emphasised the need for adopting green and cost effective technologies.
Stressing that skill development and training remain crucial areas for attention, the Minister urged the industry to invest a portion of their CSR funds towards skill development initiatives in the construction sector. The Minister informed that while the government is focusing on developing skills and productive capacity of the rural youth from poor families through Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), he also asked the industry to support the government to develop requisite skills for construction etc. in the rural areas. To support the government's vision of providing housing for all, he urged the corporates to sponsor few gram panchayats in constructing houses for the beneficiaries of the government schemes.
Speaking at the session, Shailendra Singh, Joint Secretary, Department for Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, said that the Government is committed on creating an enabling environment for the industry. The efforts of the Government's initiatives in this direction are clearly visible in the recent improvements in the World Bank's ease of doing business rankings. The 12-point improvement in rating represents the first time that India has made such significant progress. With the view to bring improvements in investment climate and foster competition among states, the Government has introduced state ranking on ease of doing business in states, said Singh. Stressing on the need for sustainability issues w.r.t. the cement industry, he highlighted the need for adopting the global standards in production process, treating waste and effluents and maintaining environmental standards.
Presenting his perspective, Mahendra Singhi, Group Executive Officer, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) said that sustainable growth would be key for supporting the aspirations of faster and inclusive growth. To support this faster and quality growth, the Industry will need to focus on newer technological solutions for bringing cost effective and green solutions in the construction process. Stressing that smart cities was not a plan but a necessity, he underlined the need for "Smart Towns" and "Smart Villages" for supporting the inclusive growth agenda of the country.
Earlier in the session, Ajay Kapur, Chairman, CII Cement Industry Division and Managing Director & CEO, Ambuja Cements, said that the cement industry is the perfect example of Make in India, as we have emerged as a country from a cement deficit stage in the 1970s to a cement surplus one in the 1990s. He also added that we were today a net exporter. Further, the government's efforts on infrastructure development provide huge opportunities for the sector. However, to support sustainable development and growth, the sector will need to go an extra mile said the Chairman. For the industry to realise its true potential, he stressed the need for addressing the challenges like high rail freight, revisiting new emission norms, strengthening coal linkages, improving the thermal substitution rate, adopting the concept of ready mix concrete to add value to concrete, improving the slag utilisation rates through blending and composite cement products etc.
Presenting his vote of thanks and concluding remarks, Atul Desai, Executive Director and Chief Marketing officer, Reliance Cement, said that the sector holds tremendous growth potential and stressed the need for solving the remaining issues before the sector to fully support the Make in India initiative.

Dead by Daylight - The 80's Suitcase
Our five dear victi… friends, have decided that if they were to be savagely murdered, they might as well do it with style!
The Silo is one of the oldest buildings that made up Coldwind farm. It stood for over fifty years before the great storm of 1984 brought the ancient structure crashing down. It was only several days later that local police discovered the twelve bodies buried in the ruins. The coach they had been traveling in was forced off the road by the storm. The passengers had taken refuge in the old building.
Investigators found that a severed central beam, probably snapped by the ferocity of the wind, was the cause of the tragedy. The victims' remains were hideous crushed, buried deep in wreckage, their twisted bodies mashed together under the weight of the collapse. Only the grim slurry that oozed out from the base made locating the victims possible.
It is only recently that a sealed suitcase full of clothes emerged from the ruins and was found by a group of happy few (...soon to be fewer). A welcome change as well as a tribute to the golden age of slashers.
Dress your favourite survivor with iconic pieces of fashion from the 80's!
The 80's Suitcase includes :
The Tartan Special Top, The Skull Print Top, the Siberian Tiger Legs, the Stripes of Power and the Ripped Leggings, for Nea
The Patches Denim Jacket, the Ripped Jeans and the Leather Pants, for Jake
The College Letterman, the Hooded Training Top, the Sports Leggings and the Mauve Presentation Pants, for Meg

Thann (; Alsatian: Dànn, , ) is a commune in the northeastern French department of Haut-Rhin, in Grand Est. It is the sous-préfecture of the arrondissement of Thann-Guebwiller and part of the canton of Cernay. Its inhabitants are known as Thannois.

Geography
Thann is situated at the foot of the Vosges mountains, where the valley of the river Thur enters the Upper Rhine Plain. The Thur runs through the middle of the town.

History
In 1635, during the Thirty Years' War, Thann was taken by imperialist forces. A mercenary among those troops described it as a "beautiful city, which lies on a mountain and is strongly fortified."

Demographic evolution

Transport
Thann is 43 km from Colmar and 21 km from Mulhouse. The town is also well situated for the French autoroute network such as the A35 and A36.

The RN66 (Route Nationale 66) passes through Thann, providing an east-west route between Mulhouse and Épinal.

 Thann and the Thur valley are served by regular TER trains on a branch line running from Mulhouse to Kruth.
 A new tram-train service of the Mulhouse tramway links Thann to the city centre of Mulhouse.

Architectural heritage
Despite sustaining heavy damage in World War I and World War II, Thann contains several old buildings and monuments of significance.

La Collégiale Saint-Thiébaut

Situated in the centre of the old town, the church known as the Collégiale is good example of the style of Gothic architecture that flourished in the Rhine valley in the late Middle Ages. The Cathedrals of Strasbourg and Freiburg in Germany are also built in a similar style.

The building owes its name "La collégiale" to the college of monks who moved to Thann from the nearby town of Saint-Amarin in 1442. Construction of the collégiale took more than 200 years, from the end of the 13th Century through the 15th Century, and was completed in 1516 with the 78m tall spire.

For an extensive study of the Thann collegiate church, circumstances of its erection, issues of patronage, and unique sculptural programs, see Assaf Pinkus, Workshops and Patrons of St. Theobald in Thann (Waxmann Verlag: Muenster, Berlin, New York, 2006).

La Tour des Sorcières (The Witches' Tower)
This was a tower in the old town walls, and built in 1411. The bulbous roof dates from 1628. Today the interior houses a museum dedicated to winemaking.

Le Château de l'Engelbourg (Engelbourg Castle)

The ruins of the Engelbourg Castle sit on a hill to the north of the old town.  The castle was constructed in the 13th century by the Counts of Ferrette to control the entrance to the valley and ensure the paying of tolls by those wishing to cross the Vosges by way of the Thur valley and the col de Bussang. The castle was destroyed on the orders of Louis XIV.  During demolition, one of towers overturned and cracked into sections, one of which forms a large stone ring known locally today as The Witch's Eye (L'œil de la sorcière).

Education
The town is served by 4 écoles maternelles; 3 écoles élémentaires; 2 collèges (Collège Charles Walch and Collège Rémy Faesch); and 2 lycées (Lycée Professionel Charles Pointet and   Lycée Scheurer-Kestner).

Tourism
 Thann is the southern terminus of the route des Vins d'Alsace. The northern side of the town is overlooked by the Rangen vineyard, one of the few vineyards in Alsace to be classed grand cru.
 Thann is well situated for access to the .

Last week I demonstrated how to create a custom Microsoft Windows XP setup ISO optimized for installation in a virtual machine environment using nLite (The how-to can be found here.). We started with an approximate 500 MB ISO and removed components/services using the nLite utility and pared that down to less than 80 MB. This week I'll show you how well the unattended install works in VirtualBox and the benefits of doing so.
Now that we've got our optimized XP ISO created and VirtualBox installed, let's see how well this image works…fire up your copy of VirtualBox and click New (Ctrl-N) to start the Create Virtual Machine Wizard.

Market is an integral part of economy in almost any country: if there is no market – there is no development. It is assumed that market is a self-regulating mechanism, but at the same time there are a lot of market management tools. In general, these tools belong to the government, but entrepreneurs also have tools for the market management. And aq business plan is one of them.
Many people believe that a business plan is a document that helps you to get a loan or investment. In fact this is not true and such a simplified understanding of business planning doesn't show its advantages and possibilities to the full. Such confusion causes numerous errors in management decisions, and thus it results in undesirable financial results.
- A financial plan for the project.
Each of these sections contains important information about the project.
An idea/project description is an introductory section, which includes both quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the project. This section is very important because it identifies distinctive features of the project. The section presents basic information that will be analysed and fully considered in the business plan. It is this section which forms an initial opinion on the project, the quality of its study.
A marketing plan is one of the most important sections of the business plan, too, as it contains information that allows to control the market. This section should contain full information about the structure of the market, its key players and each player's market share. In addition, it is necessary to segment the market in this section and, most importantly, to find their target audience, that is to define the market segment, which will cost less to enter and will give the best return. It is also obligatory to identify those sales tools that reflect the features of the chosen activity best.
Marketing plan information is a "map of the market and market instruments" for an entrepreneur. If you have this information there is no difficulty for you to define the right business strategy, and, in fact, this "map" is the very business planning tool, which allows you to control the market.
Financial plan is also a vital part of the business plan. It contains information about all costs during the period of project planning. In addition, this section involves the calculation of project performance indicators and is the final part of the project since it identifies expected return.
A high-quality business plan is the first step towards financial prosperity of the project, because a business plan is a source of information to rely on in the competition for market share.
