Talks by fierce moms
Mothers have so many roles: nurturer, provider, disciplinarian, confidant, mentor, friend, protector. These incredible talks demonstrate all of the above.
Jennifer Senior
For parents, happiness is a very high bar
The parenting section of the bookstore is overwhelming -- it's "a giant, candy-colored monument to our collective panic," as writer Jennifer Senior puts it. Why is parenthood filled with so much anxiety? Because the goal of modern, middle-class parents -- to raise happy children -- is so elusive. In this honest talk, Senior offers some kinder and more achievable aims.
Connected, but alone?
As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle studies how our devices and online personas are redefining human connection and communication -- and asks us to think deeply about the new kinds of connection we want to have.
Aicha el-Wafi + Phyllis Rodriguez
The mothers who found forgiveness, friendship
Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi have a powerful friendship born of unthinkable loss. Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; el-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence. In hoping to find peace, these two moms have come to understand and respect one another.
A passionate, personal case for education
Speaking to an audience of students, US First Lady Michelle Obama reminds each one to take their education seriously -- and never take it for granted. This new, brilliant generation, she tells us, is the one that could close the gap between the world as it is and the world as it should be.
Annie Murphy Paul
What we learn before we're born
Pop quiz: When does learning begin? Answer: Before we are born. Science writer Annie Murphy Paul talks through new research that shows how much we learn in the womb -- from the lilt of our native language to our soon-to-be-favorite foods.
Hawa Abdi + Deqo Mohamed
Mother and daughter doctor-heroes
They've been called the "saints of Somalia." Doctor Hawa Abdi and her daughter Deqo Mohamed discuss their medical clinic in Somalia, where -- in the face of civil war and open oppression of women -- they've built a hospital, a school and a community of peace.
Nancy Frates
Meet the mom who started the Ice Bucket Challenge
Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge craze this summer? Meet the mom who started it all. When Nancy Frates's son Pete hurt his wrist in a baseball game, he got an unexpected diagnosis: it wasn't a broken bone, it was ALS, and there is no cure. In this inspiring talk, Nancy tells the story of what happened next.
Sheryl Sandberg
Why we have too few women leaders
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions -- and offers 3 powerful pieces of advice to women aiming for the C-suite.
Deb Willis and Hank Willis Thomas
A mother and son united by love and art
An art school professor once told Deb Willis that she, as a woman, was taking a place from a good man -- but the storied photographer says she instead made a space for a good man, her son Hank Willis Thomas. In this moving talk, the mother and son artists describe how they draw from one another in their work, how their art challenges mainstream narratives about black life and black joy, and how, ultimately, everything comes down to love.
Sharon Terry
Science didn't understand my kids' rare disease until I decided to study it
Meet Sharon Terry, a former college chaplain and stay-at-home mom who took the medical research world by storm when her two young children were diagnosed with a rare disease known as pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). In this knockout talk, Terry explains how she and her husband became citizen scientists, working midnight shifts at the lab to find the gene behind PXE and establishing mandates that require researchers to share biological samples and work together.
Heather Lanier
"Good" and "bad" are incomplete stories we tell ourselves
Heather Lanier's daughter Fiona has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic condition that results in developmental delays -- but that doesn't make her tragic, angelic or any of the other stereotypes about kids like her. In this talk about the beautiful, complicated, joyful and hard journey of raising a rare girl, Lanier questions our assumptions about what makes a life "good" or "bad," challenging us to stop fixating on solutions for whatever we deem not normal, and instead to take life as it comes.

Veteran Atlantic City casino executive Steve Callender retires from Caesars Entertainment
By WAYNE PARRY Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Steve Callender, who went from being a rookie craps dealer on the first day gambling was legal in New Jersey to a senior executive of one of the nation's biggest casino companies, said Friday he is retiring after nearly 43 years in the business.
Callender, 66, is eastern regional president of Caesars Entertainment, and has been a longtime executive at Atlantic City's Tropicana casino.
He began his casino career as a craps dealer at Resorts casino on the day it opened in May 1978 as the only legal U.S. casino outside Nevada.
"I had just graduated from college, and 10,000 people had applied for 500 jobs," he said. "I was lucky enough to be selected, and they taught me how to deal. It was the first craps game I had ever seen, and I was dealing it."
Callender learned the business from the bottom up, rising from dealer to become vice president of casino operations at Resorts. In a decadeslong career spent in Atlantic City, he also worked for the Atlantic City Hilton and Bally's in addition to Tropicana.
He most recently helped Eldorado Gaming carry out its merger with Caesars Entertainment under the Caesars brand.
Callender also is president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, the trade group representing the Atlantic City casinos. In that role he served as cheerleader-in-chief, a strategist for policies that help the resort as a whole, as well as a go-to contact with state officials on matters involving Atlantic City and the gambling industry.
He has seen it all in Atlantic City: The rapid, dizzying rise of casinos when New Jersey had a monopoly on East Coast gambling and revenues soared, the painful crash as competitors popping up all around Atlantic City drained away so much business that five of the 12 casinos shut down (there currently are nine), and the nascent recovery from that painful period as Atlantic City became a smaller market adjusting to the new economic realities.
He has been a vocal champion of Atlantic City's health and safety protocols as the casinos reopened last July after 3 1/2 months of being closed due to the coronavirus shutdown. And he has repeatedly pushed state officials to loosen the virus-related restrictions on occupancy that remain on the casinos, arguing that the gambling halls have demonstrated they can operate safely.
Callender is optimistic about Atlantic City's near and long-term prospects.
"There's so much pent-up demand," he said. "Many of our older customers have gotten their shots and they're coming back. People will continue to come."
A resident of Brigantine, just outside Atlantic City, Callender said he looks forward to driving his grandchildren to sports practices and games, and taking in some Philadelphia Phillies games in between rounds of golf and travel with his wife.
The company has not named a successor.

It seems like an entire game all to itself, you get to customise your avator completely and then you get given an apartment that you setup just the way you want it. You can even upload your own personal images to use as pictures on the walls or even as wallpaper.
You can then wander around this virtual world meeting and interacting with other online PS3 avators… There is a ton of places to take your avator to including games rooms and my personal favourite. The Trophy Room.
The trophy room is where you will see all your achievements milestones that you accomplished on your PS3… It is all completely 3D and graphical and you can even walk into a side room and see all the trophy's that you are still trying to access….
It's all free as well which is never a bad thing… How much bandwidth is this going to take though?
We learned that it will appear in beta form sometime next month (April), with a finished version available for everyone ready to go this fall. Personally, I can't wait to see more of it. I can't recall having seen application with this much potential for any videogame system prior — and after all the questions and criticisms that Sony has been hit with since November, it's good to see that it still has tricks up its sleeves, and finally explained what that "Home" button on your Sixaxis controller really does.


Turning 65 is a milestone. Once you turn 65 you are automatically enrolled into Medicare Part A for free if you qualify. Medicare Part B is available to you for about $121 a month for most people. Medicare Part A and B are known as Original Medicare. Original Medicare only covers about 80% of the costs of healthcare in most cases. In the case of major surgery or extended stay in a medical facility, you could be stuck paying a lot of money out of your pocket. Medigap focuses on those out of pocket expenses left after Original Medicare.
There are 10 Medigap plans that you can choose from that are the same in every insurance company. All medigap plans must provide the same coverage from each insurance company, by law. So finding the right Medigap Plan is as easy as comparing Medigap Quote and Prices. All you have to do is find out which plan fits your situation best and then find out who is offering the cheapest rate for that plan. If you would like to talk to a licensed professional to help walk you through your options, providing you with free quotes and helpful advice. Please call 1-800-MEDIGAP/1-800-633-4427 or visit http://seniorsupplemental.com/medicar... for more information about Medigap Insurance Coverage in Pennsylvania.
What is Medigap in Pennsylvania? Medigap helps fill in the financial gaps where Medicare leaves off. In most cases Medicare pays about eighty percent of your medical expenses leaving you a gap, a MEDIGAP. A Medigap Plan focuses on out of pocket expenses such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles of Medicare Part A and B! Medicare has several parts for coverage. Part A, Part B, Part C, And Part D. and the Medigap Plans. Once an individual turns 65 they may qualify for certain Medicare benefits and services. Medigap Insurance can start as soon as Part B coverage is in place. Medicare Part A helps cover against catastrophic events, in patient care in hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and home health care. An average knee replacement, hip replacement or heart attack can cost you forty thousand dollars or more, in most cases leaving you with eight thousand dollars or more to pay. Medigap can help cover that risk for you. Medicare Part B helps cover doctors, and other health care provider services, hospital out patient care, durable medical equipment, and home health care. Also many preventive services to help maintain your health, and keep certain illnesses from getting worse. Part D medicare helps lower and cover your drug prescription costs. Lets not forget about Part C. Part C OR Medicare Advantage health plan options run by medicare approved, private insurance companies, offer benefits and services covered in Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. Some of these Advantage plans may offer extra benefits for extra costs. And may offer maximum coverage with no need for additional supplement. But for those that do, get Maximum coverage with Medigap. Feel free to pause the video to view some basic Medigap plans in Pennsylvania.


The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at Lake Lanier says the release of its updated Master Plan will be delayed well past the fall of 2019.
The delay in conducting public surveys will also require the public and stakeholder meetings tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2018 to be delayed until fall 2019. The entire schedule will shift and completion of the Environmental Assessment and final Master Plan Update will be pushed out another year.
If the USACE will still be gathering information from public open house meetings a year from now, it is impossible to determine when the process will culminate in a final report.
We'll keep you updated, as news becomes available.
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of knowing boating density and what that knowledge would provide. Do you? Certainly there is no way to move the density from one area to another is there?

Manchester Terrorist Attack! Ariana Grande concert! Updated!
This is a re-upload of the same video posted yesterday but with more footage included with interviews and UK queen visiting the victims.
Terrible terrorism attack happened on May 22th at 10:30PM in Manchester. 22 people killed and 59 injured. This happening caused chaos in the arena. People were screaming and panicking while trying to get out of the arena as fast as they could. An Investigation has begun.
Ariana Grande Concert in Manchester Disaster! Explosion and chaos footage!
Shocking footage of the event included. Attention! This video includes sensitive footage that may be not for everyone!
Manchester Terrorist Attack! Ariana Grande concert! Explosion!
Detectives are probing a "network" linked to the Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi police have confirmed, as his father and brother were detained in Libya.
Twenty-two people were killed in a blast at the Manchester Arena on Monday night, including an eight-year-old girl and an off-duty female police officer, moments after US singer Ariana Grande finished performing around 10:30pm.
Prime Minister Theresa May has raised the UK threat level to the highest possible rating, meaning another terrorist atrocity is expected imminently. Almost 1,000 troops have been deployed to key locations.
Ariana Grande has officially put her "Dangerous Woman" tour on hold in the wake of the terrorist attack that took place after her concert at Manchester Arena on Monday night.
The singer was scheduled to perform in two shows at London's O2 Arena on Thursday and Friday, but in a statement obtained by CNNMoney, Grande said she's canceled all shows through June 5.
"Due to the tragic events in Manchester the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost," according to a statement released on Wednesday by Grande's management team.
"The London O2 shows this week have been canceled as well as all shows thru June 5 in Switzerland. We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence. Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you."

Browse: Home / What was in that Israeli plane that flew out of the Atlanta airport during the power outage?
The world's busiest airport experienced an unprecedented power outage that seemed to defy all of the precautions put in place to prevent it, and during the 11-hour ordeal, internet users noted that only one mysterious plane was allowed to leave the airport.
The airline's website lists two members on its Board of Directors-Chairman & CEO, Offer Gilboa, an Israeli entrepreneur who previously worked for one of the largest commercial real estate companies in Israel; and Vice Chairman Muli Ravina, an Israeli businessman who previously worked as Assistant to the Director General at the Ministry of Finance.
"The process of clearing customs has traditionally presented challenges and delays for critical time-sensitive shipments when lag time can translate to significant financial setbacks. At LACHS, our warehouse is fully bonded and we have established a customs simplification process to ensure timely handling of your cargo.
Although officials have attempted to claim that an 11-hour blackout at the world's busiest airport was simply caused by a small fire, investigations by internet users have discovered that only one plane was allowed to leave during that blackout-and its airline has no oversight from customs agents, along with direct ties to the Israeli government.

Dell XPS 13 review: My new favorite Windows 10 laptop
Ron Email @ronwinbeta Jan 31st, 2016 in Review
Over the past few years, a flurry of two-in-one devices have made their way onto the market hoping to catch your attention. Sure, there are devices out there that either looks great, perform amazingly, have an excellent battery life, or feel comfortable to use. Rarely do you see a device that embodies all these attributes. Then you have devices that are not only laptops, but also tablets, but rarely do you see one of those two attributes perfected.
Yes, Microsoft has the Surface Book, but it's not perfect (yet). I enjoyed using the Surface Book when it was released, but plagued with several important issues, the device has yet to be perfected — which I know Microsoft will do eventually, I have that confidence in the company. Unfortunately, the Surface Book currently lacks the "it" factor.
Along comes the Dell XPS 13 (2016 edition). This simple laptop embodies the attributes of the perfect Windows-powered laptop without any gimmicks or compromises. In fact, you will feel like you are using a quality laptop with a premium and polished experience.
Right off the bat, the design of the XPS 13 is truly impressive and elegant. Similar to the XPS 13 (2015 edition), this new refreshed version for 2016 is just as beautiful with updated internal components. I felt like I was looking and holding a work of art in my hands. The device features machined aluminum carbon fiber and hardened Corning Gorilla Glass for better durability and just an overall superb experience.
It weighs 2.9 pounds and it doesn't have that plastic feel to it like some smaller laptops do. Instead, the XPS 13 feels like a small, well-designed laptop in a slim frame (9 to 15mm). It has an interesting shape to it when you have the display flush with the keyboard — it sort of slants upwards but it's not a big deal. Unlike the Surface Book, there is no ugly gap between the display and the keyboard.
Dell XPS 13 slant
Just like the 2015 model, the 2016 model features an amazing 13.3-inch display with a resolution of 3200 x 1800 in an 11-inch form factor. This is the key selling point of the XPS 13. Dell managed to squeeze every inch of space on the device to fit the 13.3-inch screen, offering a virtually borderless InfinityEdge display with only a 5.2mm bezel around the screen. How cool is that? You are literally immersed into the content you are viewing thanks to the borderless display.
Visual clarity of the screen is also impressive — the UltraSharp Quad HD+ display has amazing viewing angles, high color gamut, and high contrast ratio offering a crisp and clear picture. The screen doesn't fold back all the way, so you can't carry around the XPS 13 like a Surface Book or two-in-one device, but that's sort of the point. This isn't a two-in-one device that tries to offer too much in a small package. Instead, this is a well-crafted laptop that sticks to and perfects the basics.
The keyboard is backlit and has a mere 1.3mm travel, making it a comfortable and quiet experience when typing away an email or writing a blog post. The trackpad features seamless glass integrated buttons — and it is quite responsive. The carbon fiber palm rest made it super comfortable when typing away.
Battery life on the XPS 13 is touted at an impressive 18 hours, which is truly amazing. During my review phase of the device, I averaged between 15 to 16 hours of battery life with normal usage (web surfing, watching YouTube, writing emails, and drafting this review). The device is compatible with an accessory called the Dell Power Companion, which offers an additional 10 hours of battery life, for those of you who travel or plan to use the device for extended periods. The awesome part about this accessory is that you can quickly charge it back up using your power adapter, so it acts like a power reserve allowing you to get more work done without having to worry about your device shutting off on you.
The XPS 13 features an Intel Skylake processor and an Intel HD Graphics 520 chip, allowing for amazing performance while opening and closing apps — multitasking is also lag free. Don't expect to play Crysis or GTAV on max settings though — these small laptops were not designed for these tasks anyway. I was able to have several apps running, all while having several tabs open in Microsoft Edge without experiencing any sort of lag or delay. I truly felt like I was on my desktop PC.
Windows 10 comes pre-installed on the device and it performs amazingly well. The device boots up within seconds and features a nice 720p webcam at the bottom left of the device. Unfortunately, does not feature Windows Hello support so you won't be able to sign onto the device using facial recognition.
[pullquote align="right" cite="" link="" color="" class="" size=""]XPS 13 is the most environmentally responsible laptop Dell offers[/pullquote]
According to Dell, the XPS 13 was designed with the environment in mind, making it one of the "greenest" laptops ever built. "XPS laptops are designed with smarter materials, by avoiding materials of concern including cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, some phthalates, and they are all BFR/PVC-free. All XPS notebooks ship in recyclable, compost-friendly packaging, including our highly renewable bamboo trays, and we offer options to responsibly recycle your old product through our reconnect partnerships. With a presence in 78 countries, Dell has the widest reach of free consumer take-back offering in the industry with consumer drop off in over 2400 Goodwill locations in North America. Without exception, all XPS notebooks are ENERGY STAR qualified and anticipated EPEAT Gold registered," Dell explains.
I appreciate Dell paying close attention to detail with the XPS 13's modern two-tone look and a satisfying click when pressing down on the trackpad. Dell even added a small aluminum flap at the bottom of the device that covers up all the ugly yet mandatory FCC stickers. The Dell logo appears backwards when you are facing the laptop in it's closed position, but once you open the display up, the Dell logo is front-and-center to the person across from you — letting them know you are using a Dell.
Dell XPS 13 (2016 edition)
The Dell XPS 13 is by far one of the best Windows laptops I've used. The screen is impressive, the size of the device is just right, the build quality is excellent, the keyboard and trackpad function comfortably and work well, and the performance of the machine is superb. I have to hand it to Dell on this one — they have done a fantastic job with this device.
If you are in the market for a well-built laptop that runs Windows 10, the Dell XPS 13 is device for you. You can opt for the non-touch device, which is considerably cheaper and definitely a powerhouse machine with a 1080p display. Or you can opt for the touch-screen model, which is nearly twice the price, but features a better display and allows you to utilize your fingers on the screen.
The laptop starts at $1,449.99 for the touch-screen model and $799 for the non-touch-screen model. You can check it out here on Dell's website.
What do you think about the Dell XPS 13? Have you found your perfect laptop yet?

Crossbeam raises $25M to back startups built on 'platform economies'


Bermuda vehicles market is fueled by rent a car and tourism business, which account 28% of the national GDP. In the 2017 the market hit the all time record with 1.380 sales, up 5.5%. Kia dominates with over 50% of market share.


We need and appreciate your financial support.
Thanks to all who give regularly!
Giving is an act of worship and partnership!
We hope you will give cheerfully and faithfully.
Stewardship reflects the simple truth that God is the owner of all I have, and I am the manager of all He has given me. As such, my job is to manage His resources in accordance with His financial plan — a plan which includes everything from earning money, to spending money, to saving money, to giving money. When I realize that I am simply a manager of God's resources, every expenditure becomes a spiritual decision. What I allocate to one area cannot be used in another. So, the question for each of us is, "Does my stewardship of God's resources reflect God's priorities or my own?" The easiest way to answer that is to take a look at your checkbook. What evidence exists that you are in touch with His kingdom priorities?
Someone has said, "We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give." One of the greatest signs that God's heart is being formed within us is evidenced by our giving. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave…" We can give without loving, but we cannot love without giving. And so, as you consider what you will give, ask God to fashion within you the heart of a wise, loving, and generous steward.

One last (?) Nola Day for 2020
Aaron Nola, the Phillies' ace, takes the mound at 3:10 pm. It may be too late for the team already. But right now he represents a last gasp for the Phillies to get into the playoffs.
2020 Philadelphia Phillies preview and prediction
The Philadelphia Phillies are set to open up a 2020 MLB season that should prove to be the most unusual in the 138-year history of the franchise.

LUCELEC unfair to the people, CSA boss says
(SNO) — General Secretary of the CSA, Claude Paul, believes that light and power company St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) is unfair to the people in a long-running contention between the union and the company.
The two organizations have been at odds over a matter relating to retirement age at the company, and the power company has challenged a ruling by the Labour Tribunal over the interpretation of the law when it comes to it.
The matter is now before the court and Paul believes that LUCELEC will be told to go back and implement the tribunal's decision.
"The case, I believe, is on the seventh of December and so we have to await the outcome of it," he said. "I can predict the court will say to LUCELEC, go back and implement the decision of the tribunal, but let's see what happens."
He said that it is only employers with power in their hands that take advantage of what he described as "the little people".
"And that is why we have unions, to protect little people from the actions of employers like LUCELEC, who is unfair to the people," Paul noted.
He argued that the former employees at the center of the dispute were forced to retire and take reduced pension.
"Sixty-five is the retirement age and so therefore LUCELEC forced them out, and therefore they have lost five years of work in some instances and are therefore taking a 30 percent less on their pension, that's what the situation is," he explained. "And it continues despite we go through all the avenues for redress, including the Labour Department, the Minister of Labour and the Tribunal, and still that doesn't satisfy them."
It is reported that those affected by the matter is facing hardships as a result of being out of work.
Everybody needs to support the low level staff in lucelec
"The matter is now before the court and Paul believes that LUCELEC will be told to go back and implement the tribunal's decision." Now that is so silly. The matter is in the court and you are saying what the court WILL do? Don't you think LUCELEC believe they were advised by the lawyer and they have a case? You said that this is pending for so long now and the case will be heard in 1 months time. Why couldn't you just wait before releasing such nonsense. I honestly wish you the best result for the workers but I believe this release is rubbish.

The revelations surrounding the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States and the Global Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) in the United Kingdom show the disturbing penetration into people's private lives that two of the "most liberal" Governments claim the authority for.
It's been nearly three weeks since The Guardian published the information that they had received from ex-CIA employee, Edward Snowden, much in the same way as information previously provided by WikiLeaks. This case continues to demonstrate the immense difficulties and dangers presented to those few whistle-blowers.
Positively, in this case, Snowden was well aware of the consequences of his actions and prepared his line of escape, flying to Hong Kong and taking temporary refuge there. Yet, it is a dismal state of affairs that a man should seek political asylum from such a "liberal" nation for something that amounts to accountability of a tax-paid scheme. The mass surveillance programs used by the NSA were not voted for by the US citizenship and do not solely pervade the home country, but also reaches out across the world in their attempts to spy on people and their governments. Now, I'm not saying that the US Government is the worst for invading privacy, but the secret nature of these operations make them ten times worse. At least in the countries that are renowned for their lack of privacy, they are renowned for it; you know what you're getting there. Within the US, it was a different story; it was another case of the US deciding that liberty needed to be sacrificed in the name of security, without consulting their citizens on the issue.
Snowden faces three charges from the US Government: theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information, and wilful communication of classified intelligence with an unauthorised person. It is easy to take issue with each of these charges. Firstly, the US Government works for US citizens, is paid for by US citizens and is elected by US citizens, so everything it creates and receives should surely be the property of US citizens. Surely the charge here then is synonymous with "theft of public property" or "theft of civilian property". But, Snowden is a US civilian, and he can't steal from himself and he's not inhibiting others' access to it – in fact, he's making it more accessible – so can this charge be applied. I'd argue not, but this is most certainly not a view that the US Government or, perhaps, the courts will agree on. The other two charges follow on from this point; the Government were not authorised to intrude on people's lives by those who have the authorisation – the public – so how was Snowden supposed to get authorisation from the public to communicate the Government's secret work? Now, you may disagree with the fact that this information and operation does indeed belong to the US citizens but there remains a case for Government accountability and a warrant for the public to know what their Government is doing in their name.
The continued reaction by the US Government only serves to deepen the frustration and anger with the administration. In their desperation to shut Snowden's mouth, gag him and take him away to Guantanamo Bay, they are making outlandish demands on the international community; not to harbour him, or to let him travel, unless it is back to the US. With joy, many countries have ignored this command from the self-proclaimed President of the World, as Hong Kong, Russia, Ecuador and Cuba rally behind Snowden. The US' hope that they could get away with unilaterally enforcing security in the world has failed. They are deepening the cut by continuing their hostility, secrets and heavy-handedness.
Let us join in with the international solidarity for Edward Snowden who has performed an incredible and brave action that he should most certainly not be persecuted for.

Imaging the Earth's small-scale structure using full-waveform inversion: Theory and application to the imaging of mantle plumes
Rickers, F.
(2013) Utrecht University Repository
(Dissertation)
Supervisor(s): Trampert, Jeannot; Fichtner, Andreas
Within the last decade, increasing computational power and theoretical advances have initiated the transition from approximation-based tomography to iterative full-waveform tomography in regional and global seismology. Such full-waveform methods allow for the exploitation of complete seismograms to constrain the 3-D structure of the Earth, which potentially leads to much higher ... read more resolution compared to approximation-based methods. The method used in this thesis relies on numerical wavefield simulations with the spectral-element method, which honours the full complexity of seismic wave propagation in realistic 3-D media. Gradients are constructed with the adjoint method. Full-waveform models are affected by a number of subjective inversion choices, such as the type of misfit and the regularisation of the gradient. The complexity of seismic wave propagation together with the non-linearity of the problem make it a challenging task to determine optimum inversion strategies. For this thesis, we first performed synthetic experiments to investigate and optimise the capability of full-waveform tomography to constrain small-scale structures in the Earth's mantle. These experiments were focused on the tomographic detection of possible mantle plumes, which are a challenging target for seismic tomography due to their small lateral extent and their extension deep into the lower mantle. Using a misfit based on the time-continuous and amplitude-independent instantaneous phase difference, we succeeded to fully recover an idealised narrow mantle plume. The accurate measurement and inclusion of diffracted waves arriving in the body-wave coda was identified as essential for the recovery in the lower mantle. We further confirmed that simple cross-correlation traveltime misfits do not permit the recovery of plumes in the lower mantle, wavefront healing largely conceals the acquired time delays. We applied these results to the construction of a high-resolution 3-D model of the S-wave speed beneath the North Atlantic region, extending to a depth of 1200 km. Unprecedented details are revealed, giving new insight into the complex tectonics and dynamics of the North Atlantic region. The resolution of particularly interesting features was validated with resolution tests based on Hessian kernels. Striking features of the new model include individual low-velocity conduits beneath the Iceland and Jan Mayen hotspots, extending into the lower mantle. This observation strongly supports the existence of mantle plumes as a feature of mantle convection, which has been debated passionately over the last decades due to a lack of conclusive seismological evidence. Our model is furthermore the first to clearly resolve two separated hotspots associated with Iceland and Jan Mayen. A further highlight is the observation of a wide-spread layer of low-velocity plume material beneath the lithosphere of much of the North Atlantic ocean. Two fingers of this layer extend beneath the continental lithosphere of parts of the British Isles and of southern Norway, providing an explanation for the considerable post-rift uplift that these regions experienced in Neogene times. Gravity-based estimates of present-day dynamic support agree very well with the location of the low-velocity layer. show less
