Motorola to shell out 60,200 to compensate for its faulty handset
Motorola is penalized by the Thane District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum for manufacturing a faulty handset and selling it to a customer named Ramesh Shah, who lives in Vasai Town located in the Thane district of Maharashtra. The consumer Forum of the Thane District has ordered to pay a hefty compensation of fifty thousand rupees to the customer who purchased the model Moto Ming which is manufactured by the Motorola Company. The judgment was ordered by a special bench presided by the Forum's President, Umesh Jhavalikar and another member of the Forum N D Kadam. The customer Ramesh Shah brought the handset from a shop named Sangvi Telecom by shelling out ten thousand and two hundred rupees from his own pocket. With the purchase the unending of his ordeal began. On the second day of his purchase he faced a severe problem with the audio of the handset and he immediately reported about the problem to the shop, from where he purchased the same. Though the Sangvi Telecom rejected his plea and dodged his complaint tactfully. Though the customer stuck with his complaint and pursued it further. Then later a service center of the Motorola Mobiles in Thane named, Siddhivinayak Tele in Thane catered to the complaint of the customer and replaced the handset and delivered the same to the customer. Even after the service, the problems remained same and more and more complications popped up within the handset. The customer's complaint went unheard but after marathon persuasion the handset was collected from the customer and never returned back to the customer.
To end his humiliation, Shah the customer filed an official complaint at the Consumer Forum's office located in Thane. The customer in his complaint has slapped international mobile brand, Motorola with a mammoth sum of one lakh rupees to be paid for the inconvenience which he faced and to fulfill his legal expenses. After the complaint was registered in the forum Motorola urged to the Forum to dismiss the complaint as they promised to replace the handset to the customer. Though the plea of the mobile giant went unheard in front of the bench of the Forum and they ordered the Motorola to pay the complainant sixty thousand two hundred which includes the cost of the handset which is ten thousand two hundred within a framed time period of thirty days.

Director Nurith Aviv quotes Freud's simple definition of mourning and loss as it relates to the first post-war generation of Germans and the historical experience of Jews. With the backdrop of a muted and autumnal Berlin, influential German Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt and prolific actor Hanns Zischler (MUNICH) among others ruminate about the extinguishing of German Jewish life and culture and the lasting intellectual, moral and spiritual void that loss has meant to their fatherland.
Aviv, a noted cinematographer whose ancestors came from Berlin, has created an elegiac portrait of a homeland that can never exculpate itself from the ghosts of the Holocaust.

Q: What resources operating system associates with file descriptor I know that I should close opened files. I know that if I don't do that the file descriptors will leak. I also know that file descriptor is just an integer. With that integer os associates some resources. And here is the question. What are those resources? What makes it difficult to create infinite (a lot) file descriptors? Why can't os detect those leakages? And why os doesn't give the same file descriptors for the same file opening?

A:
What are those resources?

This link posted by codeforester contains some material about.
Anyway, those file descriptors are simply handles to complex data the kernel holds for a program. They could be opaque pointers, but using simple numbers has its advantages (stdin, stdout, stderr have a well-known number, for example). What kind and amount of data is a kernel thing, and a program should not, and doesn't need, to know. So, nor you and me. But, just to speak, for example some buffer is needed. Then, the kernel must know in any moment which files are opened, otherwise, for example, you could unmount a filesystem with open files and leave programs dangling.

What makes it difficult to create infinite (a lot) file descriptors?

Because file descriptors cost ram (and CPU also), which is a finite resource, and nobody wants a kernel crash because some (stupid) programmer wastes file descriptors... :-). So, the kernel reserves a finite amount of resources for file descriptors (which are not always simple files). Kernels are not all equal, each can have its policy and often some way for users to manage relevant settings.

Why can't os detect those leakages?

Because it can not. The kernel can not tell the difference between a poor written program, which leaks resources, and a program which legitimately allocates many resources. Moreover, it is not the duty of a kernel to try to distinguish good programs from bad ones. A kernel must supply services, fast and efficiently -- all the rest is responsibility of programmers.

And why os doesn't give the same file descriptors for the same file opening?

Because it is legitimate to open the same file twice or more. Two programs can open the same file, two threads can, or even a single thread. And the kernel must always respect the "contract" its API claims, always in the same manner: again, it is the programmer who must know what he is doing.

Of course, wasting money on DRM can only last so long before competitors take their lunch by using every available resource to serve the customer instead of punishing them for buying their games!
My last EA game purchased (from EA,) was about 13 years ago (Command & Conquer Generals,) which didn't work after I purchased it because of some issue with the DRM on the disk not liking my CD-ROM drive and after spending the money on a non-functioning game, I vowed never to buy any game with DRM on it ever again. Now, if it doesn't come DRM-less, I avoid it like the plague (though I still do buy some Steam games, a lot less now that I realize 6 months after they appear on Steam, they'll likely appear DRM-less on one of the DRM-Free game sites, like GoG.) And I know I am not the only one.

2014 Scion tC Review
by Zach Doell | October 31, 2017
The Scion tC has a spacious interior and a pleasant ride quality. However, it's not as sporty as its two-door physique suggests, and its cabin is full of cheap-looking plastics.
Good cargo space
Balanced handling
Poor fuel economy
Lackluster interior plastics
Updated exterior
Retuned suspension and automatic transmission
Touch screen became standard

2014 Scion tC Overview
Is the 2014 Scion tC a Good Used Car?
The 2014 Scion tC hatchback is a solid option for a used compact car. It blends the sporty appearance of a coupe with the cargo-hauling practicality of a hatchback. It comfortably seats four, accelerates swiftly, and handles confidently. That said, if you're looking for a true sports car, look elsewhere. The tC is sharp, but not that sharp. It also has a rather drab interior and lacks some features that are common in this class, such as a rearview camera.
Used 2014 Scion tC Performance and Interior
The Scion tC has a four-cylinder engine with 179 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive are standard; a six-speed automatic is available. The tC zips up to speed quickly and offers robust passing power, though fuel economy is low by class standards at just 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Both transmissions earn praise for their refinement. The manual has precise action and a light clutch; the automatic shifts briskly and has a neat rev-matching feature that blips the throttle on downshifts for smoother, more controlled gear changes.
The tC rewards drivers with a comfortable ride, yet still feels sure-footed and well-balanced in corners. The power steering has a nice, heavy feel to it. The brakes provide sufficient stopping power, and the suspension soaks up most bumps and dips without issue.
Read more about tC performance »
The Scion tC seats five and features an unexpectedly spacious interior. The supportive front seats have large hip-hugging side bolsters, and there's generous head- and legroom. The rear seats can fit two adults comfortably, and getting into and out of the back is particularly easy compared to other coupes. There are two full sets of LATCH connectors for securing child car seats. The tC's hatchback opens to reveal 14.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and a roomy 34.5 cubic feet with the 60/40-split seats folded. The hatchback's wide opening makes it easy to load and unload bulky items.
Despite its airy feel, the tC's interior looks fairly plain due to its many hard plastic surfaces. Scion equips all tC models with a 6.1-inch touch screen, AM/FM radio, USB and auxiliary inputs, Bluetooth, and a CD player. A BeSpoke audio system with navigation is one of the tC's few options. The infotainment system is very user-friendly, and it's easy to adjust the climate and audio controls on the go. The dashboard's center stack is conveniently angled toward the driver.

How Reliable Is the 2014 Scion tC?
The Scion tC has average reliability, earning a score of three out of five from J.D. Power.
Read more about tC reliability »
How Safe Is the tC?
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the Scion tC a 2014 Top Safety Pick and gave it the highest rating of Good in four out of five crash tests. The tC earned the second-highest rating of Acceptable in its fifth test, the small overlap front crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the tC a perfect five-star rating for overall and side impact testing, as well as four out of five stars in front and rollover crash safety.
The tC lacks the advanced safety features found in other cars in this class, such as blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, or a rearview camera.

Should I Consider Another Used tC?
The 2014 Scion tC marks the fourth model year of the vehicle's second generation. Updates for 2014 include a retuned suspension and a quicker-shifting automatic transmission, a redesigned exterior, and a standard touch screen. You're likely to find used 2011, 2012, and 2013 models for much lower prices, but they won't share these major updates. Toyota discontinued the Scion tC after the 2016 model year.
Compare the 2012, 2013, and 2014 tC »
Which Used Scion tC Is Right for Me?
Scion offers the 2014 tC in three trim levels: base, 10 Series, and Monogram Series. All Scion tC base models are equipped with a 6.1-inch touch screen, AM/FM radio, a CD player, Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary inputs, remote keyless entry, power windows, a moonroof, air conditioning, cruise control, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and cloth upholstery. The tC 10 Series adds larger alloy wheels and silver paint.
The Scion tC Monogram adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, proximity keyless entry, and a BeSpoke audio and navigation system. The BeSpoke system is available in some used base models.
You may also want to consider a certified pre-owned tC. Scion provides a one-year/12,000-mile limited warranty on all certified pre-owned vehicles, and it extends the original new-car powertrain warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles. Each CPO Scion must pass a 160-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available, so read the Scion warranty page carefully.

If you're looking for the sportier coupe, the 2014 Scion FR-S is the superior choice. The FR-S has sharper handling and offers a bigger punch from its four-cylinder engine. However, the tC has its advantages; it is much more practical thanks to its roomy hatchback, and its rear seats are actually usable. The tC also fares slightly better in reliability testing, and used tCs are often much more affordable than used FR-S models.
Which Is Better: 2014 Scion tC or 2014 Hyundai Veloster?
The 2014 Hyundai Veloster shares similar styling cues – and a similar price range – with the tC. Ultimately, the sporty Veloster hatchback has too many drawbacks to recommend. It has cramped rear seats, a low reliability rating, and a ride quality that borders on harsh. The tC is the better choice.
Which Is Better: 2014 Scion tC or 2014 Honda Civic?
The 2014 Honda Civic coupe is an excellent choice if you desire a fun, practical compact car. The Civic coupe earns a sterling reliability rating and outshines the Scion with its higher-quality interior, better fuel economy, sportier handling, and muscular Civic Si variant. It's not all bad news for the tC, though. The Scion has an easier-to-use touch screen, more passenger and cargo space, and a lower price.

Disgraced former New York City mayoral candidate John Liu is attempting a political comeback, with the support of hard-left radical activists and a progressive organization called the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, founded by socialist Islamist Linda Sarsour.
Liu previously declared himself as a candidate in the 2013 New York City mayoral election but was dogged by a scandal from his 2011 comptroller election campaign.
Liu was closely involved with Asian Americans for Equality, a very wealthy New York City "community organization" that had its roots in the Pro-China Communist Workers Party.
According to sources, it was common practice for New York-based Chinese diplomatic staff to organize fundraising banquets for favored leftist candidates. Since it was illegal for Chinese authorities to donate to American candidates, a workaround was arranged. Hundreds of low-income Chinese-Americans would be invited to lavish dinners and handed packets of money by Chinese government agents. This money then would be passed on to the candidate.
It was strongly suspected in Chinatown that at least some of Liu's campaign donation money came from Chinese sources through pro-China business people.
Two Liu staffers were jailed after an FBI sting in which government agents offered to make over-the-limit donations to Liu's campaign. Liu's staffers took the money and illegally donated it by dividing it into smaller amounts in the names of fictitious individuals.
These revelations dogged Liu's mayoral campaign, and a once-top-tier candidate ending up running a disappointing fourth place in the Democratic primary.
In September 2014, Liu lost a Democratic primary race for a state Senate seat to incumbent Tony Avella by just 800 votes. Avella had angered "progressive" Democrats by joining the renegade Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), which worked closely with Republican state senators.
Bruised and bloodied, Liu rejoined Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and also began a teaching position at Baruch College.
But now Liu is back, this time working with the hard left and Islamic socialist Democrats in another attempt to unseat Tony Avella. Progressive Democrats have vowed to unseat the IDC, despite a pledge by the group to rejoin the main body of Senate Democrats and end its alliance with Republicans.
Avella had been the only IDC senator to escape a "progressive" challenger until activist group True Blue NY recruited Liu at the last minute. One mainstay of True Blue NY is the activist group Rise and Resist, which also endorsed Liu.
Rise and Resist made headlines at a July 4 protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when one of its members, Congolese immigrant Patricia Okoumou, climbed the Statue of Liberty.
Joy Reid of MSNBC interviewed Okoumou and fellow Rise and Resist protester Jay W. Walker after the event. Neither Reid nor any other mainstream media outlet mentioned that both activists were tied to Refuse Fascism, a front group for the Maoist-extremist organization known as the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Liu also has been endorsed by the Muslim Democratic Club of New York. Founded in a Midtown lounge in March 2013, Democratic Socialists of America member Linda Sarsour's Muslim Democratic Club of New York has been more leftist than Islamic in outlook.
At the founding, which was attended by then-mayoral candidate Liu, co-founders Ali Najmi (later a prominent Bernie Sanders supporter) and Sarsour gave a PowerPoint presentation on the untapped voting strength of Muslim Democrats in the city, especially in Queens and Brooklyn, where Muslims live in comparatively high numbers.
While the ultimate goal of the club was to build a field operation powerful enough to influence elections throughout New York City, the Muslim Democratic Club of New York also focused on ending NYPD surveillance of Muslim communities, a goal that was accomplished in April this year. Sarsour's organization additionally pushed for the inclusion of Muslim holidays on the public-school calendar, which occurred in March 2015.
Muslim Democratic Club leaders have included Murad Awawdeh, an affiliate of the South Brooklyn chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America; Debbie Almontaser, an occasional panelist with the DSA-initiated Left Forum; and at least one affiliate of the Maoist-leaning Revolutionary Student Coordinating Committee.
Liu has learned little from his past defeats and humiliations. He is still working with the hard left, seeking to gain political power.

Science Update: COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy may help protect offspring from SARS-CoV-2 through age 6 months, small NIH-funded study suggests
Credit: Stock Image
Vaccinating women against SARS-CoV-2 in mid to late pregnancy could provide their infants at least some protection against COVID-19 through six months of age, suggests a small study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Compared to infants born to mothers who had COVID-19 during pregnancy, infants born to vaccinated mothers were much more likely to have antibodies against the virus.
The study was conducted by Andrea G. Edlow, M.D., M.Sc., of Massachusetts General Hospital, and colleagues. It appears in JAMA. NIH funding for the study was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy generates antibodies in the mother's blood against the spike protein, which SARS-CoV-2 uses to infect cells. These anti-spike antibodies can be detected in umbilical cord blood and protect infants from COVID-19. For the current study, researchers sought to determine how long antibodies against the spike protein remained in the infant's blood. The authors limited their study to individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 or infected with the virus from 20 to 32 weeks of pregnancy. Previous studies have found that higher levels of antibodies are transferred across the placenta during this time, compared to later in pregnancy.
Researchers collected blood samples of infants born to vaccinated mothers when the infants were two months old. They also collected samples from these infants at six months of age, as well as from six-month-old infants born to mothers who had COVID-19 during pregnancy.
At delivery, vaccinated mothers had higher levels of anti-spike antibodies than mothers who had COVID-19 during pregnancy. At two months of age, 48 out of 49 (98%) of the infants of vaccinated mothers had detectable levels of antibodies. At six months, 16 of 28 (57%) of the infants of vaccinated mothers had detectable levels of antibodies, compared to 1 of 12 (8%) of infants born to mothers who had COVID-19.
The authors noted that infants are more likely to be severely affected by COVID-19 than older children. They added that COVID-19 vaccines currently are not planned for infants younger than six months. Although the study could not determine how much protection that vaccinating mothers confers upon their infants, the authors believe their findings provide incentive for pregnant individuals to get vaccinated.

Chris Christie's ex-classmate, David Wildstein, causes new trouble in bridge scandal
Updated Mar 29, 2019; Posted Feb 01, 2014
By Star-Ledger Staff
Attorney for David Wildstein says immunity might equal answers on GW Bridge scandal At the close of the Jan. 9, 2014 Assembly Transportation Committee hearing on the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal engulfing the administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an attorney for a key figure in the investigation says his client might cooperate with the committee's probe if he is granted immunity from criminal prosecution. Alan Zegas, attorney representing former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official David Wildstein had instructed him to invoke his Fifth Amendment right and not answer questions during the hearing, frustrating committee members. (Video by Brian Donohue / The Star-Ledger)
By Steve Strunsky and Ted Sherman/The Star-Ledger
Inside the Park Avenue headquarters of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, David Wildstein was known for a passive-aggressive style that left some colleagues feeling uneasy.
Sometimes, he would simply stand silently over a co-worker's shoulder, watching them at their computer.
"He would ask you a question and listen to your answer and then he stared at you for a long time and you'd have these long, awkward silences," recalled one, who like many interviewed, did not want to be identified.
Now, Wildstein, 52, who lost his job last year as a high-level executive at the Port Authority after orchestrating a series of lane closures at the George Washington Bridge that some believe were politically motivated, is causing more than just uneasiness for his former Livingston High School classmate — Gov. Chris Christie.
PAYING LEGAL BILLS
In a letter to the Port Authority on Friday seeking reconsideration of the agency's refusal to cover Wildstein's legal bills, his attorney claimed the governor knew about the controversial lane closures while they were happening.
The attorney, Alan Zegas of Chatham, said in the letter that "a person within the Christie administration communicated the Christie administration's order that certain lanes on the George Washington Bridge were to be closed" — presumably a reference to a cryptic email former deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly sent to Wildstein a month before the lanes were shut down in September, saying it was "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
'EVIDENCE EXISTS'
But, he added, "evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the Governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference he gave immediately before Mr. Wildstein was scheduled to appear before the Transportation Committee."
Zegas also said Wildstein "contests the accuracy of various statements that the Governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some."
The governor's office said last evening that the statement by Wildstein's lawyer only confirmed what the governor has said all along — that he had no prior knowledge of the bridge lane closures before they happened.
"The governor denies Mr. Wildstein's lawyer's other assertions," the statement said.
The claims by Wildstein, though, put new pressure on a governor already under fire in a growing scandal that has damaged his national political profile while sparking a federal investigation and legislative hearings.
His attack of the governor also brings new attention to a longtime political operative once seen as a Christie loyalist.
Scarcely known by many before he was handed a $150,020-a-year patronage position at the Port Authority, Wildstein was hired in May 2010 as director of interstate capital projects — a position that had no job description.
Wildstein, who grew up in Livingston and went to high school with the governor, served one term as mayor of the suburban Essex County community before leaving elective office to join his family floor mat manufacturing business.
Before he came to the Port Authority, Wildstein had secretly been running an influential political blog called PolitickerNJ, hiding behind a pen name while publishing stories about campaign strategies, horse trading and power plays — all relying on anonymous tips from political operatives and officials.
NO CLEAR RULE
At the Port Authority, his role was never clearly defined, but a spokesman for Christie at the time said "he is there in that job because he is well-suited to the task of playing a role in reforming the Port Authority in accordance with the governor's goals."
Former colleagues questioned about Wildstein in the aftermath of the bridge scandal said he was nothing if not committed to his job.
"He was notorious for getting in early and walking around and looking at who was at work and who wasn't," said one.
Opinions varied over what motivated him.
REDEMPTION?
Some believed it was fierce loyalty to the governor, above the Port Authority, toll payers, or anyone else. Another thought it was about redemption.
Wildstein resigned in December, as the Legislature began subpoenaing documents connected to the lane closures that caused massive traffic headaches in Fort Lee — leading to speculation the shutdowns were ordered as political payback after the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee declined to endorse Christie.
Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff, was fired by the governor.
Also forced out of the Port Authority was Bill Baroni, a former state senator who served as the agency's deputy executive director and who hired Wildstein.
Baroni testified before the Legislature in November that the lane closures were part of a traffic study he knew about in advance, and had consented to.
Both Wildstein and Baroni have asked the Port Authority to pay their legal bills. The agency has already turned Wildstein down, which is what sparked the letter from his attorney Friday.
Baroni's request is being weighed by the Port Authority, spokesman Chris Valens said Friday.
Baroni's lawyer, Michael Himmel of Lowenstein Sandler in Roseland, did not respond Friday to requests for comment.

Blue Jays claim Jarrett Hoffpauir off waivers, designate Murphy
VIDALIA — St. Louis Cardinals second baseman and Vidalia native Jarrett Hoffpauir was claimed off of waivers Tuesday by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Hoffpauir, who hit .250 with two doubles and four walks in just eight games for the Cardinals, was placed on waivers after the team removed him from the 40-man roster, Jarrett's father Johnny Lee Hoffpauir said.
"We just found out this evening," Johnny Lee said. "He was dropped from the 40-man, which meant that he had to clear waivers before he could go back to the minors.
"Shortly afterwards, they told him that he got picked up really quickly by Toronto. That's about all we know."
When a player is cut from the 40-man roster, any team can claim him off of waivers. Johnny Lee, who coaches baseball at Vidalia High School, said he thinks the fact that his son was picked up so quickly speaks highly about his abilities.
"It's going to be a new start for him, which is good. St. Louis is a big-market team that is going to look to the free agent market a lot. This backs up their minor league guys a lot. There's kind of a clog in the Cardinals' middle infield right now."
Johnny Lee said his son, who batted .291 with 14 home runs in AAA Memphis this past season, is currently at a hunting camp in Rodney. In the brief time Johnny Lee spoke to his son about the move, his impressions were that Jarrett had a positive attitude.
"He's excited," Johnny Lee said. "This could be a new life for him."

Left: The Watchman's view of Wizard Island.
High on Crater Lake's western rim, The Watchman's lookout tower commands an eagle's-eye view across the amazingly blue lake to Wizard Island. The steep little climb up The Watchman is one of the most popular paths in the national park. It's also short enough that you might want to extend the hike by taking an adjacent 2-mile path around Hillman Peak to a viewpoint above the Devils Backbone. Pets are banned on all park trails.
The Watchman won its name in 1886, when the U.S. Geological Survey set up a watch point here while surveyors in a boat sounded the lake with a reel of piano wire. Other names that stuck from that 1886 expedition are Cleetwood Cove (for the boat) and Dutton Cliff (for its captain). The survey recorded a maximum lake depth of 1996 feet—a figure that has since been corrected by sonar to 1943 feet.

So the stones I mentioned in the last post helped initiate this dream about a tarot reading that I was given a couple of nights ago while asleep. This is the second tarot reading I have received in a dream and these 'dream' readings are usually quite serious and are part of a 'next level' movement with the readings being conducted by spirit guides in front of a spirit audience. You can read the first tarot dream by clicking here….
So I am with a group of beings but this time I cannot see anyone, just hands and they are dark hands. The main entity is giving me a reading using five cards and tells me that the first four cards are about what is to come and the last card is about how to bring it about.
I am not afraid and feel that I am with beings that I know, but they are not human.
As usual, the beautiful deck is different than the ones we use in waking life and it had rich, colorful photos of non-human beings that depicted what each card was about. The first four cards were all about money with pictures of gold coins, and the money was coming and it was coming in abundance…..yeah! The last card was about how I was going to get the money and the unseen reader paused before revealing the fifth card and explained that it was the 'key' card for unlocking all of the promises of the first four cards. The being turned over the card and it showed a picture of a hairy, beastly type creature and the word LOVE was at the bottom of the card. Goddamn, but keep in mind, while in the dream, this image seemed quite normal to me and I was like oh, love! Any takers on this interpretation?

Monday Talk with Stavros Lambrinidis, EU Human Rights Chief
10/12/2018 Monday Talks Irene Christodoulaki
As part of our Monday Talks series, we have conducted an interview with Mr Stavros Lambrinidis, European Union Special Representative for Human Rights to discuss the recent matters of relevance.
Vocal Europe: Having been the European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for Human Rights since 2012, what would you say are some of the greatest human rights challenges that the European Union has to address with its foreign policy?
Stavros Lambrinidis: That's a small question. I would say that we have to face challenges outside the EU mostly, but we also have to face some challenges internally in how we do foreign policy and human rights. The world has gotten to be a worse place when it comes to human rights, at least human rights narratives in the past few years, and that is our biggest challenge.
Some countries that are ideologically or politically committed against human rights have become much more aggressive in trying to export bad narratives and practices to the regions, trying to bend the will of the people to the will of strongmen populists in their countries. This is a big challenge, because they are trying to basically convince us that human rights are either desperate or unpopular or "Western", and therefore should not be applied.
So this is fundamentally a way that they are trying to use that we have to address, and we do. We do. We are promoting positive narratives for human rights and we are being much more on the offensive without being offensive when it comes to these people. We have major challenges when it comes to wars. Some wars are terrible, some wars are spilling over not just the obvious right to life that is being violated by the hundreds of thousands of deaths, but also issues of other human rights.
In fact, we have found that if you look at every bloody conflict in the world today you will see that at the roots of the conflict was probably a human rights violation, a serious one, that was not addressed on time. And of course there are thematic challenges: improving women rights around the world; dealing with religious fanaticism and the freedom of religion and belief; protecting freedom of expression and freedom of speech; defending the multilateral human rights system, the United Nations, regional organizations that do human rights, which for us is a very big priority; economic, social and cultural rights; ensuring that poverty is eliminated.
All these issues are not separate from each other, but intertwined, and that is where the challenge internally comes [from]. Here in the European Union, we have also become much more effective in streamlining human rights in our policies. It is not always that obvious. We have 150 delegations around the world, embassies, EU embassies, and all of them produce a human right report every year for their countries.
That is an indication of a priority we place on human rights that I think is virtually unparalleled around the world. They send the recommendations back, we act accordingly. We have a number of commissioners at the European Commission that deal with issues that touch on human rights: development, if you like, neighbourhood policy, many other things.
And of course Federica Mogherini, who leads these efforts here. That kind of streamlining has been our challenge internally and I think that we are much better now that we were six years ago.
Vocal Europe: The 10th of December is the International Human Rights Day, which also coincides with the 70th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Currently, human rights are globally challenged by authoritarian regimes, certain cultural customs, and religious practices. In this regard, what should the international and national actors do in order to keep the principles of the Declaration intact and further ensure their effectiveness? And which role could the EU play in this process?
Stavros Lambrinidis: I think the fundamental thing that we have to do is to remember that human rights are law, international law, but they are more than that. They are human dignity, that's what human rights are based on. We all are human beings, we are not animals. You may not like me, I may not be like you, but you may not kick me because you don't like me, you may not imprison me, you may not kill me, you may not discriminate against me.
That fundamental human principle exists in every culture, in every religion, in every region of the world, in every political system. So we have to take the debate back. This is universal. It's universal. The second thing we have to do and we are doing, is [to] make sure that every time there are egregious human rights violations we are not afraid to speak up. As European Union, as member states, as United Nations.
Many authoritarian governments would like you to simply not talk about the violations. They are trying everything they can. And the moment they call me up to tell me "don't you dare make a statement", I know that what I have to do at that moment is to make a statement. Because that is the one thing between them and total impunity. And the final thing we have to do and we are doing is not to allow the bad guys to hijack the debate.
From left to right: Ebubekir Isik, Stavros Lambrinidis, Irene Christodoulaki, and Vera Ventura. 28 November 2018, Brussels.
There are tens of countries around the world as we speak that believe in human rights, have ownership of human rights and are applying human rights based policies to address major challenges such as security and counter-terrorism, such as building sustainable development, such as building peaceful societies. We launched in New York in September the so-called "Good Human Right Stories" with 13 countries around the world and the European Union. These countries presented, each one of them, a concrete policy example of how they pursue government priorities through human rights.
And by being in the same room at the same time, they highlighted how all over the world, from all regions, human rights are universal and human rights work. In countries such as Peru, poverty has fallen form about 57% seventeen years ago to only 22% today, and it was done not by repressing anyone, not by having a central government policy that tells you "you can work here, but not there", but by a commission that included government, civil society, independent Ombudsmen.
They were successful through human rights. In Georgia, torture was one of the highest in the world in 2011, it's almost zero today in very few years. They applied human right policies and they are telling us that they are pursuing security not thought torture, they can bring security in the country through respecting rights and these examples are examples that anyone else in the world, any other country who wished to address challenges like those, may do so. So we are not perfect in human rights, no one is. The litmus test in human rights is not perfection, the litmus test in human rights is: do you have the institutions in place that do not allow you to shove your imperfection under the carpet?
In other words, do you want to be better than you are? There are countries around the world who say that we should not be talking about human rights because we violate them as well, and of course everyone does. But if you look at those countries, they do not have independent courts, they do not have independent parliaments, they do not have an independent press, they have the civil society that they don't talk to, but they usually repress. So, every check and balance for them to be better at human rights is not there. In Europe, everyone of these things are there. So we are not perfect, but we are trying to be better.
Vocal Europe: Another issue of great importance concerning human rights is the ongoing Rohingya crisis. In October the EU mission to Myanmar assessed the human-, and labour rights situation in the country. The Union has started to consider revoking the country's tariff-free trade on human rights grounds, expressing major concern over the treatment of persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities like the Rohingya. Do you think that this is an effective way to deal with the situation in Myanmar? And, what the EU could do more in this regard?
Stavros Lambrinidis: Oh, we should do a bunch of things. And we are examining all the possibilities now for a long time. I have been in the country five times in the past five years. I've met with Aung San Suu Kyi, I've met with the previous government, I have met with the head of the military, I have met with civil society, I have met with religious leaders. I have dedicated a big part of the European Union's efforts in trying to resolve this crisis.
Myanmar had a number of human rights problems and a dictatorship, and moving to democracy was one of the big successes of the country. But what happened to the Rohingya in the process, this big black hole of rights, is despicable. And what it is that the government and the military can and must do has been discussed extensively. There have been United Nations commissions that the European Union is supporting. We are the biggest donor in Bangladesh in ensuring that the refugees can live in as much dignity as possible. We have been working with the government and pushing the government to create the conditions for a voluntary and dignified return.
We have explained to the government that that means defending the human rights of the Rohingya and ensuring that everything from their citizenship, to eliminating and punishing hate speech against them, to ensuring that they can return to the place from which they [left] and are not thrown to a different part of the Rakhine State that they have no connection with, emotional or livelihood-wise.
All these are issues that need to be addressed. So we have very much engaged in the country and of course we are examining as well a number of other options that we have in our hands, whether it is economic options, dealing with the government and the military, or whether it is sanctions. We already have sanctions on a number of military commanders in the country that we have determined have been involved in violations. We have an arms embargo against the country, so none of the Member States sell arms to Myanmar. So I assure you we are very vigilant.
Vocal Europe: All over the world, the human rights defenders and NGOs face unjustified restrictions and frequently arbitrary prosecutions. How is the European Union engaging particularly with countries where tremendous human rights violations occur? Are the current relevant mechanisms that the EU has in the human rights field effective when it comes to this kind of violations? What should be done at the European level in order to improve the effectiveness of these mechanisms?
Stavros Lambrinidis: It's a very important question, because the shrinking space of civil society has been a big challenge in the past few years, one of the biggest. And the reason it is a real issue is because unless human rights become the ownership of the people in every country, they will never really take long-term roots in the country.
We know that, which is why we support civil society. And repressive governments know that as well, which is why they repress civil society. Because they do not want human rights to really reach the people. They don't want it to became part of the country's culture. So we use financial means, we use political means, and we do both external and internal policies in order to support them, support human rights defenders, support civil society. We have the biggest fund to support economically civil society all over the world, the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. We do not tell civil society what to do, they have their priorities all over the world.
We support them economically in order to be able to have them do their work. We politically support them by ensuring that whenever we visit any country we meet the civil society at the exact same level that we meet with governments. In our human rights dialogues with over 40 countries around the world every year, we have increased the presence of civil society and civil society seminars where we bring governments and civil society together before the two governments officially speak during the dialogue. In some instances, human rights activists tell us that they have not had the chance to speak with their own government other than the opportunity that we gave them through those interactions.
We support the United Nations' work forcefully, both the Special Rapporteurs on human rights defenders, for example, or on freedom of association. We make sure in every country that we go that we encourage, and as strongly as we can, that they engage with the United Nations system. And, of course, it you look at our domestic polity documents you will find it perhaps remarkable that the biggest foreign policy and economic policy priorities of the European Union list civil society as key actors of engagement for us in those documents.
If you look at the European Consensus on Development, the big document that everyone approved on how we apply the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals around the world and how we eliminate poverty, you will see numerous references to human rights and civil society. I encourage you to look at other countries around the world and tell me if you will see the same kind of commitment. I assure you, you won't.
The global strategy that Federica Mogherini announced a couple of years ago, the compass of our foreign policy engagement, includes civil society in it. And finally, let me say, some civil society activists, as we are making all these discussions, are in danger for their lives or are being thrown in jail because their government simply doesn't like what they are saying, not because of any bad thing they have done.
Those civil society activists know that we have in place programs to protect them, to fund their lawyers, to protect their families in some terrible instances, to take them out of dangerous way if we can, to build with governments in some countries that are willing to do so human rights protection and prevention mechanisms to ensure that they never reach that point of dangers to begin with. You asked a simple question and you are getting a complicated answer. The reason you are getting that is because human rights is not easy.
Vocal Europe: The European Union proposes very attractive trade deals to certain countries in exchange of improving human rights situation in the countries concerned on the one hand, and on the other hand you have the Dutch proposal that puts forward a new EU sanctions regime targeting individuals globally, accused of human rights violations. Which approach do you think is more effective for the EU foreign policy to safeguard human rights globally?
Stavros Lambrinidis: Well, that proposal you mention is one that is been under discussion as we speak, and I'm very pleased that there was a reflection meeting recently with experts from all over Europe. I think that's an important discussion to have for our Member States. But that does not mean that we don't already have in place both regional, geographic-specific sanctions in the EU or instruments that we can exercise pressure through in order to bring human right improvements.
So if you take most recently the case of Myanmar, that I mentioned to you, and Venezuela, you see that the EU has applied specific human rights related sanctions in those countries. And that requires, of course, the unanimity of Member States, but we have been effective in doing so. You are very right in noting our trade agreements.
Until a few years back, we did not have what we have today, which is a mandatory human rights clause in those agreements, a central clause that major violation of human rights will affect the trade relationship. Something that many of our partners around the world don't know is that we have also this special tariff regime, called the GSP Plus (Generalized System of Preferences plus), that fundamentally allows every country in the world that is under that scheme to import virtually all their goods in Europe with virtually zero tariffs.
So you would think, what do the Europeans ask in return? What is the quid pro quo there? Are they asking for better access to oil and gas, as many people accuse us of doing around the world? Or being self-interested? Are they asking to export more oranges as they import more tangerines or something?
No, GSP Plus regime has only one requirement on the country that is under it. And that is that that country signs, ratifies and implements all United Nations and international label organizations conventions that have to do with human rights and labor rights. That's the one requirement. What we ask countries in order to be able to have the most privileged trade deal with us is [to] be good in human rights and improve all the time. And when we see violations, as you very correctly point out, we send delegations, we look at those violations, we talk to the governments, we talk to civil society and people, and we always try to calibrate what the best reaction for us is.
But for us, as I said, human rights is not a luxury. It is a necessity. When we ask from countries around the world to apply it, it is because we know, not just from our own experiences but from experiences all over the world, that open societies that respect rights are always in the end stronger, more resilient, more peaceful, more prosperous. And those who violate rights may for a short period of time appear to be okay, but in the end collapse.
If I may tell you, a few years back – because sometimes people say: "Human rights is a luxury, we're trying to fight terrorists, we are trying to bring security, don't criticize us, don't get human rights involved". And I was thinking, a few years back, we were talking about economic development and not a single human being said "sustainable development". And then we said, wait a second now. Maybe you can develop economics in the short term if you have child labor, maybe you can develop if you have workers that you give no rights to, maybe you can develop if you pollute your environment, because all these things will make you produce cheaper goods.
But is that the kind of development that the world wants? And then we said, there's no way. No way. This ends up destroying our societies. And then we came and said sustainable development. "Sustainable" became the key world. And now no-one talks about development.
Well, in the exact same way, the European Union says to the world that it is about time we bring the word "sustainable" before the word "security". You could bring security in your countries if you arrest a few thousand people you don't like and you throw them in jail and you take them off the streets when they peacefully protest, give the impression that things are nicer and calmer.
But all you are doing is you are creating resentment, taking away from you country the ability to improve itself through different points of view, potentially radicalising people that eventually will become radical when they were not before. You can torture people to get the "truth", but as the Netherlands showed us, or as Norway showed us, as Georgia showed us, there is a way to interview and to get the truth out of suspects, even of the worst terrorist crimes, without torture, which is an absolute prohibited crime under international law.
And if you torture your people, all you are doing is you are diminishing your people's trust in your institutions. No one trusts the judiciary anymore, even for an entirely unrelated case, if they see that the judiciary basically accepts confessions of tortured people and doesn't make a peep about them. Sustainable security, these are big topics.
Human rights is about the big and is about the small. It's about addressing the fundamental root causes of war and insecurity and poverty and it's also about addressing the specific immediate need of any particular human rights defender who may have protested against something and now their government wants them dead. It's both. And if we do both more effectively as Europe, I will be very proud.

We moved from urbania of Seattle area to the quiet wilderness that still abounds in Pacific County in Southwest Washington. We settled down and are buying a historic old house in what is a fishing village of hamlet; Bay Center, WA. Fascinated by the history of not only our house, but of the community, we are eager for information from the people among the community who can still remember when….
Sometimes we get information that amounts to legends, myth or that age old tradition of the retelling of the story so many times that by the time it reaches us it is almost a complete fabrication from the original story. So be it, sorting out fact from fiction, carrying forward legendary tales of the lives of those who lived here before, we enjoy living in our great little village and will likely take up place as among those legendary tales will be told some future day that probably have little to do with what actually took place in our actual lives.
Thanks for the link to Skamokacentric! We chose the hamlet of Skamokawa, (or it chose us!) in Wahkiakum County, and are nearing the end of a several year rehab on a house in the Skamokawa Historic District. Love Bay Center too. Looking forward to more visits to your blog.
I ran across your blog and found it useful and informative. Good job.
I would like to offer one suggestion. http://funbeach.com/blog/ is a much better link than the Long Beach Merchants blog for Long Beach as it has an enormous amount of information and is quite current, usually updated daily. Whereas the the Long Beach Merchants blog is basically just the Merchants Association Meeting minutes and is updated monthly.
Wanting to know if we could share your new knowledge with my own ancestors' stories.My name is Karen Faunce and My gggrandfather Alphonso Rhoades and son Lewis Henry with wife Catherine Parrott moved to Bay Center. My line is from Lewis's sister Ann Eliza and Catherine's brother Henry Parrott.


If you're one of those parents who thinks her teen would never in a million years use drugs, and you cite her straight-A report card and extracurricular activities as proof, you could be making a dangerous assumption. Forty-nine percent of 12th graders have at least tried an illicit substance. Even good students and well-rounded teenagers experiment with drugs. Instead of assuming your child would never use drugs, be aware. Know both the physical and behavioral signs of drug use and watch for them in your teen.
In June 2012, Americans from coast to coast were shocked by a story about a vicious attack launched against a homeless man alongside a Miami highway. The perpetrator of this crime chewed off most of his victim's face, and when ordered by police to stop his assault, he only growled and bared his teeth, forcing the officers to shoot him to death in order to save the other man's life. Eventually, reports leaked claiming that the so-called "Causeway Cannibal," identified as 31-year-old Rudy Eugene, was under the influence of a designer drug known as bath salts at the time of his psychotic episode.
What Are The Signs of Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse?
It happens all the time: a teen gets arrested, rushed to the hospital (or worse) for abusing alcohol or other drugs and his or her parents are caught completely off-guard, insisting they had no idea their child had ever tried drugs. The warning signs of drug abuse are often subtle, bur for vigilant parents, recognizing them is the first line of defense against teen drug abuse and addiction.
Mina's parents do a lot for their daughter these days, and she's incredibly fortunate that they offer. Her husband had finally washed his hands of her, and more than that, he had taken custody of their grandson. At first the Donaldsons were horrified that any court would allow this to happen. It wasn't that they thought of their son-in-law as a liar or even as a bad person; it's just that the woman the courts were describing was unknown to them. They had raised a smart, active, optimistic girl with big dreams and a fairly good head on her shoulders. Sure, sometimes she could get a little ahead of herself, and there had been times when she followed rather than led, but she was a woman now and a mother, and surely the love for her small son would turn her into the wife and mother she needed to be.
But that wasn't happening—hadn't happened.
This 5-week workshop has been developed as a support for anyone who is concerned about a loved one's use of substances.
You will learn to identify signs and symptoms of substance misuse and addiction.
You will learn why a person "can't just stop "even though the consequences are painful.
You will learn the common family reactions and attempts to manage the situations.
You will learn about different levels and models of treatment most common today.
If someone you care about struggles with substance misuse or addiction you will not want to miss this workshop!
Like many life-altering experiences, the move from drug and alcohol addiction to a successful, lasting recovery is a process. It requires a plan, and dedication to stick to the plan. But, first, there has to be the realization that a change is necessary.
It's that first step, outlined in an article on www.helpguide.org, that keys every succeeding step – and that likely determines whether an addict can successfully replace a destructive lifestyle with a vibrant, healthy life.
Understanding addiction in a new and relevant way.
Are drugs and alcohol good or bad?
Mike Starr, former bassist for Alice In Chains, passed away on March 8, 2011. Some media outlets reported that it related to his struggles with the disease of addiction. While the cause of death has not yet been determined, it is clear that Starr endured a long battle with the disease of addiction, attempting several times to get addiction treatment help. Despite appearances on the reality shows Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, Starr's alleged struggles with addiction continued with an arrest in February 2011 for felony possession of a controlled substance. Our thoughts go out to Starr's family during this time.
Below is a list of bands that have lost members due to complications related to struggles with the disease of addiction.


why is it that the proximity mines never inflict full damage?
the proximity mines are suppose to inflict 1200 to 2400 damage points, but every time i use them they have never inflicted anymore than 1900. i've never even seen them inflict 2000 yet.
Mines damages are completely random, don't forget that some players have protection modules against mines too.
