Unified Approach Needed For Nuclear Disarmament
Nuclear Abolition News | IPS
By Jayantha Dhanapala *
KANDY, SRI LANKA, Jan (IPS) The only viable normative approach regarding nuclear weapons is their total and universal elimination under strict verification. This cannot be achieved by incremental steps but only by the negotiation of a Nuclear Weapons Convention as advocated by the UN Secretary-General. [ARABIC | FRENCH | ITALIAN | JAPANESE | TURKISH]
Today, there are some grounds to hope for a reconciliation of the broken marriage between nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Both US President Obama and Russian President Medvedev have repeatedly indicated their support for achieving a world free of nuclear weapons. We may be heading for a new age of deproliferation, a reversal both of the spread of these weapons and of their perpetuation and further improvement.
The concept of nuclear-weapon 'proliferation' has two dimensions: horizontal (geographical spread) and vertical (improvements of existing arsenals). The nuclear-weapon states (NWS), supported by states in NATO and others under the 'nuclear umbrella', have long stressed the importance of preventing the former while promoting the latter.
Here's how it works. The NWS express alarm over the prospect, real or imagined, of new nuclear-weapon states. This leads them to engage in desperate efforts (such as the illegal invasion of Iraq) to prevent this from happening, hence the need for ever-increasing controls against horizontal proliferation.
Yet this contrived foreign threat has a dual-use: it also serves the NWS as grounds for rationalising the improvement ('modernisation') of their nuclear arsenals, and the indefinite postponement of disarmament.
The selective narrative of the NWS has even further obfuscated matters with the conspiracy of silence over the undeclared nuclear-weapon capability of Israel, which some of them have assisted. Moreover, an arbitrary distinction has been drawn between 'good' and 'bad' proliferators. The 1995 Resolution on the Middle East -without which the indefinite extension of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) would not have been achieved- has been ignored.
Thus India, a longstanding holdout of the NPT but a 'good' proliferator, has been rewarded with supplies of technology and material under its nuclear co-operation deal with the US.
Likewise the stationing of US nuclear weapons in five European countries despite the objections of the public in some of them is justified as 'nuclear sharing'.
A new dimension is the possible acquisition and use of nuclear weapons by terrorist groups, which, while being frighteningly real, is another form of proliferation that the NWS have seized upon to distract attention from their own nuclear weapons -which, of course, have no conceivable military value in combating terrorism. The fundamental issue is that nuclear weapons are inherently dangerous in anybody's hands.
This upstairs/downstairs division of responsibilities between nuclear have's and have-not's is also pernicious in masking the reality that disarmament and non-proliferation are two faces of the same coin. They have to be mutually-reinforcing parallel processes.
The emergence in the 20th century of nuclear weapons as the most destructive weapon of mass destruction and terror marked a watershed. This weapon proved to be vastly more destructive of human life with long-lasting ecological and genetic effects. Thus the elimination or control of nuclear weapons became the priority of the UN and the international community.
Bilateral treaties between the two largest NWS (US and Russia, which hold an estimated 95 percent of these weapons) and multilateral treaties banning nuclear tests (the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty or CTBT) and proliferation (NPT) have sought to regulate their vertical and horizontal proliferation. So have the nuclear-weapon-free zone treaties forged by non-nuclear weapon states (NNWS). It is estimated by SIPRI (the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) that today there are more than 23,300 nuclear warheads in the world and that the US, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel have 8,392 deployed warheads ready to be launched within minutes.
The normative structure with regard to all weapons has two aspects. One is to seek universal bans on inhumane weapons or particular categories of weapons for humanitarian and collective security reasons. The other is to seek arms control in terms of levels of arsenals or prevention of new possessors. Disarmament requires verifiable destruction of existing weapons, cessation of production, sale, storage, transfer, or acquisition.
Thus the outlawing (as distinct from limitation or reduction) of biological and chemical weapons, anti-personnel land mines, cluster munitions, laser weapons, and other categories has been achieved globally even though the multilateral treaties negotiated for these purposes may not be universal and their verification is not always reliable.
The one treaty which attempts a combination of disarmament and arms control is the NPT, which is the world's most widely subscribed to disarmament treaty. It openly accepts two categories of state parties -- the NWS and the NNWS.
NWS are obliged, as treaty parties, to negotiate the reduction and elimination of their weapons. NNWS are totally forbidden to acquire such weapons and the International Atomic Energy Agency is empowered to enter into arrangements with them when peaceful uses of nuclear energy are involved.
As far as arms control is concerned, NWS are permitted to retain their weapons with the restraints that apply through other bilateral and multilateral treaties. But instead of fulfilling their obligations under the NPT, the NWS are trying to impose more restrictions on the NNWS in preparation for the May 2010 NPT Review Conference by seeking to limit the Article X right to withdrawal and to impose new conditionalities for the Article IV right to their peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
The discovery of Iraq's clandestine nuclear weapon programme in the early 1990s; the withdrawal of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from the NPT and its subsequent nuclear weapon tests; the acknowledgment and rectification of Libya's non-compliance; the persisting questions about a reported Syrian nuclear reactor destroyed by Israel; and the continuing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme have certainly weakened the NPT as a non-proliferation instrument.
At this juncture, only a reunification of the disarmament and the non-proliferation approaches can save the treaty. – © COPYRIGHT IPS

Today, the temperature has climbed to 48*F so the winter forest-debris is being cleaned up, the greenhouse is protective of the many plants/bulbs/seeds which will eventually spruce-up our surrounding virgin Sitka Spruce forest, as ground temperatures continue to warm.
Springtime is an enthusiastic, busy time for both folks and all facets of Nature . . . radiating the energy every entity needs to fulfill their seasonal duties.
The 2,600 mile Humpback Whale migration from Hawaii to Kodiak's rich feeding waters will likely be equally early. Here, they mingle with the year-round marine wildlife of seal, sea-lion, sea-otter, Killer/Orca & other whales, who put on dynamic displays during their summer "conventions" in Alaska.
So, anticipation of another wonderful Summertime-in-Alaska is the invisible fuel that keeps us loving rural life in our corner-of-paradise. Sharing it with fellow appreciators makes it even more enjoyable for us.
We look forward to the great collection of similar-minded "really smart" folks we'll get to share this true-wilderness with this coming Summer.


Individual designers have been travelling to traditional craft communities for decades in order to develop product using the skills they so admire. But as more rural villagers move to the city, there is a fear that these skills will vanish. However, there are signs that they are re-appearing in urban workshops and factories. Sara Thorn is a Melbourne-based designer who has discovered ways of working with these new urban-based artisans.
Sara had previously worked with traditional artisans in a number of countries, including Vietnam, Sawarak and India. In 1980s, she established the popular Abyss Studio and Funkessentials labels and Galaxy retail store in Melbourne. In the late 1990s she moved to Paris, where she designed textiles for Christian Lacroix and Michiko Koshino, and Bella Freud in London. Sara was awarded the Winston Churchill Fellowship in 2001 to study jacquard silk weaving at the Lisio Foundation in Italy. As part of the project, Rubelli wove her fabrics. She was Curator of Design at Museum Victoria during 2004. Sara exhibits regularly and her work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria and the Powerhouse Museum, Australia.
Sara has recently teamed up with architect Piero Paolo Gesualdi to create the new WorldWeave enterprise. WorldWeave embraces the fusion of Ancient and Modern—honouring age old traditions and skills and working with new technologies pioneered by Indian ingenuity to extend traditions in a contemporary way.
Their first collection includes hand embroidered cushions, hand screen printed jute rugs, Australian Merino Virgin wool throws and scarves—all produced in India. Sara took artwork to India, specifically the North of India, Delhi and Amritsar in the Punjab and researched finding makers to work with and execute the ideas. Initially the idea was to focus on hand weaving. However, on spending several months in India researching potential makers, Sara was surprised to find businesses which had merged the lines between artisanal and contemporary traditions. They allowed her to create designs which honour hand traditions but also use state of the art international textile technology. Generally these were small textile, home furnishing businesses already exporting internationally.
Whilst developing the new collection within India's contemporary textile industry Sara discovered a complex state of affairs where hand skills, new interpretations of traditions, ingenuity and an undying passion for and knowledge of textile production prevailed side by side. This encouraged Sara to work with techniques that were challenging and innovative which allowed her ideas to take forms beyond her original concepts.
Consequently the pieces in the exhibition are products of this ancient modern fusion.
Sara's designs for these cushions were influenced by Egyptian circus tattoos and Indonesian tattoos. Sara was inspired to translate body decoration into the format of textile that could decorate a space and be useful as well as decorative.
These cushions were embroidered in Delhi by a Kashmir company who have adapted the hand Ari embroidery technique to a machine Ari embroidery stitch done on a sewing machine. Technically the embroidery is neither hand nor automated machine, as each piece is guided by hand and interpreted by the embroiderer through the machine, ensuring each piece is different.
This rug extends the Acrobat design into a rug format. Again it combines a combination of hand skills and technology. In the first instance the design was created in Photoshop, blown up and hand silk screen printed onto computer loomed natural jute. The company is based in Delhi, the Indian business centre but the actual rug is produced in the South of India utilising the rug making traditions of the South.
Taken crudely, Sara's work in India evokes the way factories in China have been used to outsource textile manufacture. Yet for Sara, the conditions in the Indian factories are sympathetic to the handmade that she so values. Are the new urban craft factories able to sustain the handmade traditions that might otherwise whither when isolated in villages? Can we admire the traditional craft skills even when the designs are foreign?
Sara Thorn's new WorldWeave collection puts her once again at the frontier of world craft design.
Thanks to Sara Thorn for the text and images.

Free State Stars then Sundowns – Lentjies
Kurt Lentjies has insisted that he and his teammates are fully focused on the next game against Free State Stars next Wednesday, 22 November before they can start to think about the much talked about Absa Premiership #WozaNazo clash against Mamelodi Sundowns three days later.
The Port Elizabeth-based side is facing a tough week ahead as they travel to Bethelehem on Wednesday, before returning to the Bay to face Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday (25 November )
In an exclusive interview with Umhlobo Wenene, Lentjies said,
"The focus for everyone at Chippa United is on the Free State Stars match. It is a tough game and we have to be ready for them come Wednesday. We can start thinking about the next game after our game against Free State Stars.
Lentjies gave an update on his injury revealing that he has not trained with his teammates since the collision with Itumeleng Khune.
"I have not trained with the team since the incident, as I received strict instructions to rest for 10 days following the injury. I am on the road to recovery, and will go for a follow up concussion test tomorrow, and take it from there," said Lentjies who revealed that he his first job was as Sales Consultant in Cape Town.
Reflecting on his football background Lentjies said; "My dream was always to play football, I never wanted to do anything else.
"My road was not an easy one, but after all these years I continue to give my all in each and every training session," continued Lentjies.
He added that they have put the disappointment of losing to Kaizer Chiefs behind them, and are now focusing on finishing as high as possible in the league.
Chippa United are currently in 6th position on the Absa Premiership league table.
"It was disappointing to lose against Kaizer Chiefs in the Telkom Cup, but we have put that behind us and are fully focused on our next game.
Lentjies watched from a distance last season as Chippa United fought relegation, "We do not want to find ourselves in the same position the team was towards the end of last season. Our aim is to finish as high up on the log as possible this season.
"It is also my ambition to win silverware with the Club. I would not have come here if I did not believe I have a chance of winning something with the Chilli Boys," said Chippa no. 32.
"We are going to continue giving it our all, as a means to give back to the people of this Province for their support," concluded Lentjies.

Home prices across the US including distressed sales were up 6.9% year-over-year in April according to the latest CoreLogic Home Price Index.
The figures also show a 1.6% rise month-over-month as mortgage rates slipped back to their lowest level since November 2016, boosting sentiment of home buyers.
"In some metro areas, there has been a bidding frenzy as multiple contracts are placed on a single home. This has led home-price growth to outpace rent gains," CoreLogic chief economist Dr Frank Nothaft commented.
The outlook for the housing market remains positive but at a slower pace than that seen in April. CoreLogic's HPI Forecast for the year to April 2018 shows a 5.1% rise in prices and the gain from April to May of this year is forecast to be 0.7%.

Q: How to Fix "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null" error? I want to set up a simple Shopping Cart in React. I'm trying to have a drop down  menu with sizes for a clothing item. I set it up in my render but something is wrong and i get : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null.
This is my JSX:
import React, { Component } from 'react';

let cart = {price:0,item:"",size:""}

export default class Cart extends Component {
  handleClick(){
    e => {
      cart = {price:0,item:"userselection",size:"userselection"};
    }
    console.log(cart);
  }

  itemSelection(){
    let userOrder = {price:0,item:"",size:""};
    let userItem = "";
    if (userItem == "pants1") {
      let itemPrice = 20.00;
    }

  }

  render() {
    return (

            <button onClick={this.handleClick} id="addit">Add to cart</button>
            <select id="size" onChange={this.change} value={this.state.value}>
              <option value="medium">Medium</option>
              <option value="large">Large</option>
              <option value="x-large">X-large</option>
            </select>

    );
  }
}

Is there something wrong with my Render that is returning a Null value?
EDIT
Since this is a due to a Null value, how could I fix this to get the dropdown menu?

A: Reason is, you didn't define the constructor and state variable and you are accessing this.state.value. First define the state like this:
constructor(){
   super();
   this.state = {value: ''}
}

You are using the arrow function in wrong way, use it like this:
handleClick = (e) => {
   cart = {price:0,item:"userselection",size:"userselection"};
   console.log(cart);
}

You didn't define the change method, define that also.
Write your component like this:
export default class Cart extends Component {
    constructor(){
        super();
        this.state = {value: ''}
        this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
        this.change = this.change.bind(this);
    }

    handleClick() {
        cart = {price:0,item:"userselection",size:"userselection"};
        console.log(cart);
    }

    change(e){
        this.setState({value: e.target.value})
    }

    itemSelection(){
        let userOrder = {price:0,item:"",size:""};
        let userItem = "";
        if (userItem == "pants1") {
           let itemPrice = 20.00;
        }
    }

    render() {
        return (

                    <button onClick={this.handleClick} id="addit">Add to cart</button>
                    <select id="size" onChange={this.change} value={this.state.value}>
                        <option value="medium">Medium</option>
                        <option value="large">Large</option>
                        <option value="x-large">X-large</option>
                    </select>

        );
    }
}

A: The select element is requesting this.state.value. It seems that this.state is null, thus you're seeing that error when trying to access null.value.

Rome says NO to Mr Ahmadinejad
More than 10,000 Italians (may be 15,000) held a candle-lit vigil outside the Iranian embassy in Rome on Thursday night. It was a bipartisan demonstration, or "half-caste," as Giuliano Ferrara put it. Mr Ferrara is the editor of Il Foglio—a conservative daily newspaper—and the promoter of the procession, organised in reaction to the threatening assertion of the President of Islamic Republic of Iran that "Israel should be wiped off the map."
"All those who called me—said Ferrara—from abroad were amazed. French and American friends, such as Wiesel, Cohn-Bendit, and Podhoretz, told me they were astonished in front of a happening they consider unique in the world. For the first time in the Western World people don't rally against an imperialist, zionist, "bad," "right wing" country, but in defence of it. They don't burn Star-of-David flags, they wave them. People don't defend to the bitter end the rights of a Third World country, they challenge its President's threats—Iran can't afford to cancel Israel, nor can it afford to threat it."
[Corriere della Sera, in Italian]
Piero Fassino, the secretary of Democrats of the Left—Italy's largest opposition party—, was one of the politicians taking part in the demonstration.
"Like many other citizens—he said—, I'm here to reaffirm the absolute necessity of Israel's existence. Peace in the Middle East will come with one state more, not one state fewer. "It's our duty—he added—to support all those fighting for democracy, freedom and reform in Middle Eastern countries".
Walter Veltroni, the mayor of Rome and he himself a Democrat of the Left, participated in the rally. "Might this happen in London?"—asks Professor Norman Geras from his weblog. And "would [Veltroni's Londoner equivalent] Ken Livingstone participate?"
Of course I don't know. I can't know. Yet, I hope what happened in Rome last Thursday will not remain the "unique" event which Giuliano Ferrara was talking about.
The most comprehensive report in English on the demonstration is here (Corriere della Sera, International Edition).

Q: How to catch the task exception in java fx application? import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;

import javafx.concurrent.Task;

public class T {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

        Task t = new Task(){

            @Override
            protected Object call() throws Exception {
                System.out.println(1/0);
                return null;
            }

        };

        //My progresss Bar in JavaFX
        //Progressbar.progressProperty().bind(t.progressProperty());

        Future future = executorService.submit(t);

        try {
            future.get();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ExecutionException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }  //returns null if the task has finished correctly.

        executorService.shutdown();

}
}

I have a code that resembles something like this my code task has internal method call in object call that throws sql exception but i can never catch it in the Executor service also just above the submit call i have a progressbar of javafx but that also seems to get stuck like the main ui hangs when using future . without future the progress bar works.

A: Future.get is a blocking call. This is why the UI hangs.
Do not use the Future to get the result. Instead use the Task's onSucceeded event handler. The onFailed event handler can be used to get the exception. Example:
t.setOnSucceeded(evt -> System.out.println(t.getValue()));
t.setOnFailed(evt -> {
    System.err.println("The task failed with the following exception:");
    t.getException().printStackTrace(System.err);
});
executorService.submit(t);

BTW: Both handlers run on the JavaFX application thread and can therefore safely be used to modify the UI to show the result/error to the user.

I'm so glad I found my soioultn online.
I've noticed that fixing credit activity has to be conducted with tactics. If not, you will probably find yourself endangering your position. In order to grow into success fixing your credit rating you have to confirm that from this second you pay your monthly expenses promptly prior to their booked date. It is significant on the grounds that by definitely not accomplishing that, all other moves that you will take to improve your credit ranking will not be helpful. Thanks for expressing your concepts.


This is a status update about the features on YGOPro that I am currently working on. Just to give everyone a heads up before the next version.
To clear things up a bit first, Fluorohydride is the developer of the game. The features shown in here are modifications to his source code. Please don't bother him with questions about this article.
One of most often requested. With this built in you no longer need to use hamachi or an external launcher. YGOPro will download the games list from one of the available servers (see also this tutorial about the chinese servers). After selecting a room and clicking on the connect button you can start dueling immediately!
As you can see in the screenshot the room list screen is still "barebone", but will be spiced up in the future.
YGOPro runs on a fixed size of 1024x640.You will be able to resize the window and play in fullscreen mode after this update.
There still a lot to do before this is completed. Like high resolution pictures and bigger buttons to make use of the extra space. Also the deck edit screen is a pain in the *ss..
A beta build will be released soon. Hope you will look forward to it! Just keep an eye on this blog.
can't wait for the release !!!!
Thanks Percival 18.... I'm hoping.
Hopefully Fluorohydride can get the card bugs fixed soon so I can go back to using this.
I cannot wait for this, because I really hate using Dawn of the New Era.
This is awesome. The Advantage/disadvantage background music is something I was wanting to see in a long time. this will be great, I cannot wait to the realese.
Wow! I was working on a similar project but it seems you beat me to the feature. https://github.com/Zayelion/YGOPro-URI Its nice to see that the game is updating so much, I hope that the you can add in the Chinese server and the american server.
Just make sure that you allow people to select their language, and possibly one day sort duels by wanted format.
percyval this may-card site ! my-card game is version of ygopro?
I'm ecstatic for this beta! I'm sorry about bugging you about the ADV/DISADV but it was much needed. You are AWESOME!!
That advantage/disadvantage music makes me remember of tag force 6.
Please, add, XYZ and Syncr summoning effect (From Tag Force 6).
Add too, three types of musics; Single Battle Music, Tag Battle Music and Matchs Music.
Same music for all sux a lot.
yo, make it so we chose server in config file.
AMAZING, Percy! Thank You for your dedication.
About the program, the beast feature certainly is the fullscreen mode.
One more question: Is it possible to make a "skin" for the program? Like, the current version is so "default", the buttons seems like and the windows seems like windows 95.
Thank you for your attention, I hope your answer.
Percy, can you help me to set a server in Russian?
When you lanch the update?
If you lauch it, Will you add cards that have a picture and confirmed effect BUT not out at the moments? (such us Number 91, 22, 69, 88) etc. Answer please!
i know im bungee jumping without the bungee cord with this question, but ill ask anyways. wold it be possible to get a server emulator for this game so that we can host our own small private servers... even if it holds something like 30 connections that would be enough.
is this gonna support our own server?
could you post any tutorial on how to make my own server?
Agreed, the Chinese server is small and sometimes laggy, but dawn seems to be down more often then up.
So, will there be a full screen version?
Also, can you please make Dark Synchro monsters?
And for servers, can we use any server or just mycard?
I've asked this before (so I hope you don't mind if I say it again) but can you make it such that both players must have the same banlist to duel?
Would love to master goat control (lol). You could only do so much with your friends.
i want a destroy effect.
i want destroy card effect.
Can I just ask about potentially including anime cards? I agree it would be a really fun, great idea, but could I ask how it be done- I mean would you have in the Ban List N/A, [date] and anime? and could anime be used with banned cards? or only in one format? given that there is no ban list for anime cards it should probably be possible to host duels where they are not allowed, given in some circumstances they could be unfair- furthermore, what are you thinking about doing for their effects- giving then the exact anime ones, or ones from Tag Force games? Also, if they had anime effects, would that means that separate anime-versions of pre-existing cars that have different anime effects (such as say Malefic World)?
how about chat feature. I mean it's hard for me to see when spectator chating because of dark background texture.
and do you would give it VS Computer feature?
If you add anime cards, please add Timaeus, Critias, Hermos and the rest of the cards from the "Waking the Dragons" saga.
Now that the Seal of Orichalcos is gonna be released in the Legendary Collection 3, it would be good a "Waking the Dragons" deck.
Oh, and the "Ride of the Valkyries" and the Valkyries from Zigfried from the "Grand Championship" saga.

It's unsurprising that Anthony Albanese is looking over his shoulder, because last term he was sitting on Bill Shorten's shoulder, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Parties might have put in place rules to prevent the rotating leadership that made our politics dysfunctional for years, but those rules won't ever be set in stone. They'll always be vulnerable to ambition and desperation. We're heading towards the final parliamentary weeks of the year - cheerfully known as the "killing season" for leaders. Despite Labor's turmoil and internal frustrations, however, Albanese will survive this one. Nevertheless he and Labor are beset by divisions that have been on view for months but have now erupted spectacularly, with the resignation of resources spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon from the frontbench. Fitzgibbon had planned to step down at the end of this year, but a massive row in shadow cabinet on Monday accelerated his exit. Many of Fitzgibbon's colleagues were in a rage about him on Monday - not least because they'd hoped this week to embarrass Scott Morrison over climate policy off the back of the victory of Joe Biden, who's very forward-leaning on the issue. But Fitzgibbon at the weekend said Biden's win shouldn't be seen as "a vindication of all those who want to set Australia on a path to slower economic growth". Most people out in the real world wouldn't have heard of Joel. But they may have seen that TV advertisement for an insurance company in which a dog with a lightsaber demolishes half a house. Joel is waving a lightsaber; Albanese is looking at the insurance policy. A veteran MP from the NSW coal seat of Hunter and convener of the NSW right faction, Fitzgibbon has a "project" - to bring Labor back "to what I describe as the sensible centre". In his mind, the "sensible centre" is where the opposition is more or less on the same page as the government on climate policy, and in better touch with, and more acutely attuned to, the needs and aspirations of the working class part of its base. While Fitzgibbon professes loyalty to Albanese, the party remembers how in 2013 he agitated against Julia Gillard to restore Kevin Rudd to the leadership. And he himself says, when asked whether he'd be willing to push for a change if he thought Labor in dire straits before the election, "I think senior people in the party have a responsibility to ensure that the party doesn't go over the proverbial cliff". Fitzgibbon this week was certainly on a mission to get one person out of his job. He and climate spokesman Mark Butler have long been at war, and once he decamped to the backbench. Fitzgibbon openly declared Butler should be shifted, in favour of someone who "doesn't bring baggage" to the conversation. Butler's "baggage" is Labor's climate policy of last term. Fitzgibbon is probably right that it would be desirable to move Butler, and Albanese had the chance in his coming pre-Christmas reshuffle. A new face would make the transition to a revised policy easier. But Fitzgibbon's jihad against Butler has quickly backfired. He did force Albanese's hand - but in the opposite direction to the way he wanted. On Friday Albanese publicly confirmed Butler, one of his Praetorian guard, would stay put. Butler on radio strongly contested the attempt "to roll back our commitment to climate action", and rejected the suggestion climate policy had cost Labor votes in 2019. Fitzgibbon has supporters for his climate position - including, importantly, in sections of the union movement. On the other hand, while accepting Labor has to pull back somewhat from its stance of last term, many in the opposition back a robust stand on climate and emissions that's firmly differentiated from the government's. Albanese is somewhere in the middle, wanting to make climate an issue but not with a policy that will leave Labor vulnerable to the Coalition's damaging attacks of 2019, and make it harder to win some regional seats. This week's blow-up has highlighted this fracture over climate policy, but it has left the battle towards an election policy still to be fought. Meanwhile Albanese struggles to make headway against Morrison in the time of pandemic politics. This has led him to overreach: his suggestion last week that Morrison should contact Donald Trump and convey "Australia's strong view that democratic processes must be respected" was bizarre. This came days before the 45th anniversary of the dismissal of Gough Whitlam. Would anyone have welcomed a call from the US president in that crisis? READ MORE: Although Albanese's leadership is under pressure it is not under threat at this point for multiple reasons.

In contrast, Albanese had every incentive to stalk Shorten - there was a winnable election around the corner. The most obvious alternative to Albanese is shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers.

Discuss "Joel Fitzgibbon is Labor's 'dog with a lightsaber'"


We are still on the River. Thus far we have paddled about 55.1 miles on the River. It looks like tomorrow we have about 15 river miles left to the canyon where we deflate our rafts and climb the nine miles out. That'll make 70 total River miles. Nice!! Myself and the rest of the group have definitely been enjoying these easy river miles. Well, relatively easy compared to hiking. We still have to paddle most of the time, especially on the points where the River cruises at a mere one mph and when we have head winds. My hands are blistered and my shoulders, arms, and back have been definitely feeling the work. Pete and I are definitely the stronger and more experienced paddlers. Cuban B has been doing good for his first flat water packraft paddle trip. Sonya is the the slower paddler and least experienced. David, Sonya's husband, is a strong paddler too, but he hangs back with her like the good husband that he is.
The weather has been overcast all day with occasional 10-12 mph winds. The sun never shined on us today. Overall the weather has been good, and we hope that persist. I fear it can rain any moment tho. We shall see.
Oh, I forgot to mention today was Cuban B's birthday. He turned 33 today. He is the youngest of the group.
Thus far tonight's camp spot is my favorite. It is not a beach along the river, but rather a sandy terrace elevated about 30 feet above the River over some limestone outcroppings. No evidence of beavers on this one.


Dance Theater of Harlem's 45th-anniversary season, currently underway at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, is in some ways only its second. It was just last year that the troupe re-emerged after a nine-year hiatus, under the new artistic direction of Virginia Johnson. If the company looks uneven — sometimes scintillating, sometimes struggling — as it did on Wednesday, that's probably because it is still in transition, training a new crop of dancers, figuring out what it wants to be.
The three works on Program A (which included the New York premiere of "past-carry-forward" and last year's gorgeous "Gloria"), seemed to reveal two different companies: one straining to uphold ballet classicism; the other intent on creating something new, and appearing much more at ease, more elated, in the process.
Nineteenth-century pieces like "Pas de Dix" — first staged for the company in 1983 by Frederic Franklin, to whom Wednesday's rendition was dedicated — are not the company's strong suit. In a new production by Ms. Johnson, Keith Saunders and Kellye A. Saunders, 10 dancers, even the spirited central couple (the commanding Chyrstyn Fentroy and lanky Francis Lawrence), labored through aspects of the academic vocabulary, often dancing beside the music rather than letting it inhabit them. A variation for four men, with a succession of tightly timed jumps that called for clean landings, looked burdensome, like an early rehearsal.
You got the sense that these dancers, with glimmers of genuine passion beneath their obedient smiles, would rather be doing something else. And sure enough, they seemed transformed in the more contemporary "past-carry-forward," a reflection on the Great Migration by Tanya Wideman-Davis and Thaddeus Davis (with dramaturgical input from the scholar Thomas F. DeFrantz).
The piece is academic in its own ways, with scenes that feel like postcards from an industrializing, racially tense America: black families picking up and heading north, suitcases in hand; women sending their husbands off to a segregated military; intoxicated dancing (in point shoes) at a jazz club. A more amorphous section, costumed in diaphanous white dresses and pants (by Charles Heightchew), hinted at an enduring spirit behind these time-bound images. While this all goes on for too long, it frees the dancers to take on characters, or just to be themselves. And rather than resisting the music, they relax into it, as if swimming around inside of Willie Smith's jazz, spliced with chilling, spacious, atmospheric sound by Slippage (Mr. DeFrantz and Jamie Keesecker).
Robert Garland's "Gloria" was a hit last year, and its reprise was just as rousing. In a magnificent opening, 14 dancers, led by Ashley Murphy and Da'Von Doane, drive their heels into the ground in time with the stuttering brass in Poulenc's score, arms swinging. The presence of children from the Dance Theater of Harlem School (who were entirely on their game) drives home the message delivered earlier by Ms. Johnson, in her curtain speech, that this company is here to inspire a new generation. It seems able to do that best when not beholden to ballet's past.
Dance Theater of Harlem continues through Sunday at the Rose Theater, Jazz at Lincoln Center; 212-721-6500, dancetheatreofharlem.org.

Aladdin O'brien - Book 2 - Chapter 20
BOOK II CHAPTER XX
New fervor of enlistment took place, and among the first to enlist was Aladdin, and when his regiment met for organization he was unanimously elected major. He had many friends.
At first he thought that his duty did not lie where his heart lay, because of his brother Jack, now fourteen, whom he had to support. And then, the old promises coming to mind, he presented himself one morning before Senator St. John.
"Senator," he said, "you promised to do me a favor if I should ever ask it."
The senator thought of Margaret and trembled.
"I have come to ask it."
"Well, sir?"
"I want to enlist, sir, but if I do there's nobody to look after Jack."
Again the senator thought of Margaret, and his heart warmed.
"He shall live in my house, sir," said the senator, "as a member of my family, sir."
"God bless you, sir!" cried Aladdin.
In a state of dancing glee he darted off to the "Spy" office to see his chief.
Mr. Blankinship was leaning against the post of the street door, reading his own editorial in the morning issue.
"Hallo, Mr. Blankinship!" cried Aladdin.
"Hallo, Aladdin!" cried Mr. Blankinship, grinning at his favorite. "Late as usual."
"And for the last time, sir."
"I know of only one good reason for such a statement."
"It's it, sir!"
Mr. Blankinship folded his paper carefully. His eyes were red, for he had been up late the night before.
"I'd go, too," he said simply, "if it wasn't for the mother."
The firm of John St. John & Brothers sat in its office. The head of the firm was gorgeous in a new uniform; he had hurried up from New York (where he had been paying vigorous court to Ellen Manners, whom he had made up his mind to marry) in order, as oldest, biggest, and strongest, to enlist for the family in one of the home regiments. There lingered on his lips the thrill of a kiss half stolen, half yielded, while in his pockets were a number of telegrams since received, and the usually grave and stern young man was jocular and bantering. The two younger members of the firm were correspondingly savage.
"For God's sake, clear out of here," said Hamilton. "Your shingle's down. Bul and I are running this office now."
"Well, it's the chance of your lives, boys," said the frisky colonel. "I'll have forgotten the law by the time I come back."
"Hope you may choke, John," said Hannibal, sweetly.
"Don't allow smoking in here, do you, boys?" He got no answer. It was a hard-and-fast rule which he himself had instituted.
"Well, here goes." He lighted a huge cigar and puffed it insolently about the office. He surveyed himself in the cracked mirror.
"Cursed if a uniform isn't becoming to a man!" he said.
"Chicken!" said Hamilton.
"Puppy!" said Hannibal.
"Titmouse!" said Hamilton.
"Ant!" said Hannibal.
John's grin widened.
"Boys," he said, "you've got one swell looker in the family, anyway, and you ought to be glad of that."
The boys exchanged glances.
Hannibal had upon his desk a pen-wiper which consisted of a small sponge heavy with the ink of wiped pens. Hamilton had beneath his desk an odd rubber boot which served him as a scrap-basket. These ornamental missiles took John St. John in the back of the head at about the same moment, the weight and impetus of the boot knocking the cigar clean out of his mouth, so that it dashed itself against the mirror.
The gallant colonel turned, still grinning. "Which threw the boot?" said he.
"I did," said Hamilton.
"Then you get the first licking."
Hamilton met his brother's hostile if grinning advance with the hardest blow that he could strike him over the left eye. Then they clenched, and Hannibal joined the fray. The three brothers, roaring with laughter, proceeded to inflict as much damage to each other and the office as they jointly could. Over and under they squirmed and contorted, hitting, tripping, falling and rising. Desks went over, lawbooks strewed the floor, ink ran, and finally the bust of George Washington, which had stood over the inner door since the foundation of the firm, came down with a crash.
By this time the three brothers were helpless with laughter. The combat ceased, and they sat upon the floor to survey the damage.
"You can't handle the old man yet, boys," said the colonel. His left eye was closed, and his new uniform looked like the ribbons hung on a May-pole.
Hamilton was bleeding at the nose. Hannibal's lip was split. The three looked at each other and shook with laughter.
"I'm inclined to think we've had a healthy bringing-up," said Hamilton between gasps.
"Better move, colonel," said Hannibal; "you're sitting in a pool of ink."
"So I am," said the colonel, as the cold struck through his new trousers.
The laughter broke out afresh.
Beau Larch, in the uniform of a private, appeared at the door.
"Hallo, Beau!"
"Come in."
"Take a hand?"
"Thank you, no," said Beau. "I just dropped in to tell you fellows that we've just had a hell of a licking at Bull Run."
"Us!" said the colonel, rising.
"Us!" said Hamilton. "Licked!"
"Us!" said Hannibal.
"And I've got other news, too," said Beau, bashfully. "If I stop drinking till my year's up, and don't ever drink any more, Claire says she'll marry me."
Hannibal was the first to shake his hand.
"Boys," said Beau, "I hope if any of you ever sees me touch a drop you'll strike me dead."
He went out.
"I'm going to find out about this," said John; "what did he say the name of the licking was?"
"Bull Run."
"Bull Run. And I'll come back and tell you."
He was starting to descend the steep stairs to the street, when he caught the sound of snickers and creeping footsteps behind him. He turned like a panther, but was not in time. The heavily driven toes of the right boots of the younger St. Johns lifted him clear of the stairs, and clean to the bottom of them. There he sat, his uniform a thing of the past, his left eye blackening and closed, and roars of laughter shaking him.
But Hamilton and Hannibal put the office more or less to rights, and sat down gloomily at their respective desks. Up till now they had faced being left behind, but this licking was too much. Each brooded over it, while pretending to be up to the ears in work. Hamilton wrote a letter, sealed it, addressed it, and presently rose.
"Bul," he said, and to Hannibal the whole manoeuver smacked suspicious, "I'm going to run up and see the old man for a few minutes."
"All right," said Hannibal.
Hamilton reached the door and turned.
"By the way," he said, "I left a letter on my desk; wish you'd put a stamp on it and mail it."
Hannibal felt very lonely and fidgety.
"I think I'll just mail that letter and get it off my mind," he said.
He put on his hat, licked a stamp, and crossed to his brother's desk. The letter was there, right enough, but it did not require a stamp, for on it was written but one word, and that word was Hannibal.
Hannibal tore open the envelop and read:
DEAR OLD Bul: I can't stand it any longer, but you'll try and not be mad with me for running off and leaving you to keep up the old place alone, and damn it, Bul, two of us ought to go anyway....
The letter ran on for a little in the same strain. Hannibal put the letter in his pocket, and sat down at his brother's desk.
"It will kill the old man if we all go," he said. "And of all three I'm the one with the best rights to go and get shot."
He took from somewhere in his clothes a little gold locket, flat and plain. Each of the St. John boys had carried one since their mother's death. Facing her picture each had had engraved the motto which he had chosen for himself to be his watchword in life. In John's locket was engraved, "In fortis vinces"; in Hamilton's, "Deo volente"; and in Hannibal's, "Carpe diem." But in Hannibal's locket there was another picture besides that of his mother. He opened the locket with his thumb-nails and laid it on the desk before him. Presently his eyes dimmed, and he looked beyond the locket.
Hamilton St. John's ink-well was a globe of glass, with a hole like a thimble in the top to contain ink. Hannibal found himself looking at this, and noting the perfect miniature reproduction of the big calendar on the wall, as it was refracted by the glass. With his thoughts far away, his eyes continued to look at the neat little curly calendar in the ink-well. Presently it seemed to him that it was not a calendar at all, but just a patch of bright green color--a patch of bright green that became grass, an acre of it, a ten-acre field, a great field gay with trampled flowers, rolling hills, woods, meadows, fences, streams. Then he saw, lying thickly over a fair region, broken guns, exploded cannons, torn flags, horses and men contorted and sprung in death; everywhere death and demolition. He wandered over the field and came presently upon himself, scorched, mangled, and dead under the wheel of a cannon.
After a little it seemed to him that the field of battle shrank until it became again the calendar. But there was something odd about that calendar; the dates were queer. It read July, right enough; but this was the year 1861, whereas the calendar bore the date 1863. And why was there a cross to mark the third day of July? Hannibal came to with a shock; but he could have sworn that he had not been asleep.
"God is very--very good!" he said solemnly.
Then he opened his pen-knife, and scratched a deep line of erasure through the "Carpe diem" in his locket, and underneath, cutting with great pains, he inserted a date, "July 3, 1863," and the words "Nunc dimittis." Below that he cut "Te Deum laudamus."
He looked once more at the picture of his mother and at the picture that was not of his mother, shut the little gold case, and put it back in his pocket.
Then he inked on the white inside of a paper-box cover, in large letters, these words:
This office will not be opened until the end of the war.
That office was never opened again.
BOOK II CHAPTER XXIThe lives of sixty million people had become suddenly full of drill, organization, uniforms, military music, flags, hatred, love, and self-sacrifice, and the nations of the Old World stood about, note-book in hand, like so many medical students at a clinic: could a heart, cut in two, continue to supply a body with blood after the soul had been withdrawn? And the nations of the Old World hoped that there would be enough fresh meat left on the carcass for them to feed on, when the experiment should be at an end. Mother England was particularly hungry, and

PAS members stage protest before General Prosecutor's Office over Dodon's money bag
Joi, 25 Iunie 2020 14:43 2020-06-25 14:43:00 PUBLIKA.MD Comments
The members of the Action and Solidarity Party organized a flash mob in front of the General Prosecutor's Office, being dissatisfied with the decision not to start the investigation against President Igor Dodon, based on the videos showing he allegedly received a bag of money.
"It is a great mockery of the Prosecutor General against the people whose money has been stolen for years. We wonder why Stoianoglo applied for the position of general prosecutor but he did not intend to make order ", declared the PAS leader Maia Sandu.
Sandu said it was more than "the laziness of the prosecution". "I think there are political influences here and that upsets us a lot," the PAS leader said.
Former Justice Minister Olesea Stamate told the media that, according to the Code of Criminal Procedure, criminal prosecution begins when there is at least a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, and from her point of view, there exists this reasonable suspicion.
MP Sergiu Litvinenco said that prosecutors did nothing to investigate this case, they just waited for the deadline and issued this ordinance. Moreover, Litvinenco accused the current prosecutor general of lack of independence.
"First of all, nobody was heard. Iaralov and Plahotniuc are not in the country but Dodon, Corneliu Furculiţă are. They all must be heard. Prosecutors could have the expertise of the video recording, to find out if after a day or two, the PSRM employees had received or not the salaries, in order to analyze the causal link. The prosecutors could also interrogate the young lady who brought them tea and saw what happened to the bag: did Dodon take it or not, "said the PAS deputy.
Litvinenco specified that, according to the legal procedure, the ordinance of the prosecutor's office can be challenged in court by the authors of the notification - Andrei Năstase and Iurie Reniţă.
In reply, the General Prosecutor's Office issued a statement stating that the institution "will adopt solutions only on the basis of the law, regardless of the pressures generated by some political forces":
"The General Prosecutor's Office welcomes any point of view or demonstration that takes place in a civilized, democratic and peaceful manner. It is a guaranteed constitutional right that citizens can freely express their opinions and possibly - dissatisfaction.
However, when some political parties choose the path of flash-mobs in the fight for political relevance, this cannot be taken seriously.
The prosecutor's office is independent of the other powers in the state and remains firm in its position to adopt solutions and decisions only on the basis of relevant evidence, regardless of the forms of pressure generated by some political elements.
For those who claim to embody genuine democracy, we explain that disagreement with the solutions of the judiciary can be manifested more effectively, within the legal framework, with the use of criminal procedural instruments, higher hierarchical and judicial control. Only in this way will they have the opportunity to present their arguments and logical-legal reasoning, which obviously differs from the populist slogans expressed through flash-mobs ", according to the communiqué of the General Prosecutor's Office.
PUBLIKA.MD reminds that, on Wednesday, June 24, the Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office ordered the non-initiation of the criminal investigation over the video that shows President Igor Dodon was receiving a bag of money, according to the MP Iurie Reniţă. The criminal case initiated in this case has been closed.
