Hi. If I'm taking amino acids with karbolyn and isolate for a post workout, and then wanted to add kre alkalyn. What time of the day would I take it? Should I substitute it for something else I'm taking, because that seems like a lot of supplements to take?
Hi., Zach. Since Kre-Alkalyn increases the amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules within our cells, this enhances message signaling, energy production, cell hydration, and protein synthesis throughout the body.
I believe adding Kre-Alkalyn to your supplement stack could prove to be extremely beneficial. It may seem like a lot of supplements to take, but there's no harm in combining them. Each supplement operates via different mechanisms in the body.
So, you're not overloading any particular pathway with too much of the same substance. The only exception might be taking the amino acids and whey protein isolate together, which I'll get to momentarily.
Because Kre-Alkalyn is pH adjusted to accommodate the acidity level of your stomach, the creatine remains more stable, which means your body assimilates and utilizes it efficiently. In other words, there is no need to megadose Kre-Alkalyn the way many athletes suggest you do with an average creatine monohydrate formula.
Research has shown that even just 1.5 grams of creatine per day can be very beneficial. That would equate to 2 Kre-Alkalyn capsules per day. For maximum benefit, I suggest taking 1 Kre-Alkalyn capsule prior to training to help promote power and stamina, then take 1 more capsule directly after to help support general recovery.
Now I want to comment on taking free form amino acids with Karbolyn and whey isolate as a post workout. You can take Karbolyn with free form amino acids, or take it with whey protein isolate, but don't take it with both.
Here is something that most supplement manufacturers won't tell you. If you are not training in a fasted state, or you take protein before or after your workout, including free-form amino acids is a complete waste of time and money. If you're consuming plenty of protein before and after workouts, you're already obtaining all amino acids your body will require.
You may be wondering now what good free-form amino acids are then? Well, they are very good if you work out in a fasted state! You see, research shows fasted training, along with intermittent fasting, is a great way to boost your anabolic hormones and melt body fat! This is where free-form amino acids are extremely valuable.
When you've been fasting for several hours and you take free-form amino acids, like branched chain amino acids, for example, you get the benefits of protein, but without breaking your fast. This compounds the benefits of increased growth hormone levels, testosterone levels, and rate of fat oxidation associated with intermittent fasting.
On the other hand, if you instead consume protein, you will break your fast, which offsets the benefits provided by intermittent fasting. Make sense?
I would also add that Karbolyn would also disrupt the benefits fasting. However, Karbolyn is extremely valuable to individuals who require fast muscle glycogen replenishment for optimal results, i.e., hard gainers, athletes involved in physically demanding competitive sports, or bodybuilders trying bulk up.
If you fall into any of these categories, then I suggest including Karbolyn with either free-form amino acids or whey protein isolate, along with Kre-Alkalyn, about 30 minutes before and then again immediately after training.
On the other hand, if your primary goal is to torch fat and become shredded, then I would suggest training in a fasted state and take at least 5-10 grams of free-form amino acids, plus 1 Kre-Alkalyn capsule before and immediately after each training session.
Unfortunately, many entities in the world of bodybuilding and fitness fail to mention one important thing to consumers. Supplement strategies should be based on individual goals to get the most out of their supplement regimens.
I hope this information helps answer your question!

What Are the ...
What Are the Statutes of Limitations on Criminal Cases in Mississippi?
Put Experience on
Your Side
Meet Attorney Arthur Calderón
Recently, we wrote a blog about the statute of limitations on medical malpractice cases. All civil cases have a statute of limitations, which is the certain time that a case has to be filed, otherwise, the case cannot go forward. But is there a statute of limitations on criminal cases? The short answer is yes, with a few exceptions.
Mississippi has a special statute, § 99-1-5, that explains that a prosecutor has a certain amount of time to initiate certain criminal cases against someone. There are two tricky parts to the statute, though. First, to figure out what the statute of limitations is, you have to look at what the underling crime is. Depending on the alleged crime, there may not even be a statute of limitations, which means that the prosecution can be commenced at any time. For other types of cases, the statute of limitations can range from two years to six years. To make things easier, here's a helpful chart:
That bring us to the second part to consider: when is the prosecution officially initiated? If you look back at some of our previous posts about the right to a speedy trial, you'll see that the constitutional right to a speedy trial starts when a person is charged, arrested, or indicted, whichever comes first. Here, it works in a similar way. From the moment that the alleged act occurs, the prosecution has to either secure a warrant, indictment, or affidavit, or arrest a person, within the right timeframe. If they do not, then as long as the alleged crime has no statute of limitation, then the case should be dismissed.
That being said, a major thing to remember is that if a warrant is issued early and the prosecution drags its feet on getting an indictment or taking the case to trial, then the statute of limitations will not apply, but the right to a speedy trial will most definitely continue to apply. The point is this: time is typically on a defendant's side. The longer that the prosecution takes to take action, the greater the likelihood that a defendant will have their case dismissed.

The aim of the implementation project was to improve the effectiveness of marketing communications and to better tailor the offer by introducing the segmentation of over 5.5 mln Oriflame consultants.
In this case study, prepared jointly with IDC, we present the practical application of machine learning tools which can be employed in order to find and use relationships between data to prepare effective algorithms supporting long-term business management. One of the mechanisms applied by machine learning is segmentation, owing to which marketing departments can follow more accurate marketing campaign methods, while HR departments and C-level executives may easily check which employees or clients bring the most benefits, which directly increases company performance, especially in such industries as retail, fashion and finance - says Paulina Ziarek, BI Expert and Product Manager at Comarch.
Segmentation is normally used for the accurate identification of the most profitable or the most loss-making customers. .
The case study presents the entire implementation process from the perspectives of both Comarch and Oriflame, and is divided into the most important stages: from challenges to results.
Artificial Intelligence (AI). Any technique enabling computers to simulate human intelligence and make use of logic, decision trees, "if" rules, and machine learning.
Machine learning (ML). Part of AI, allowing computers to apply statistical mechanisms in order to achieve the effect of learning – an improvement of results.
Deep learning. Part of ML enabling computers to learn how to handle such tasks as speech processing or image recognition with the use of deep neural networks and big data.
How does machine learning help increase Oriflame's profits?
Monthly updates to the segmentation are a source of new insights for C-level executives at Oriflame. The company uses self-adjusting segmentation results to forecast and plan new product categories.

A young girl's voice tells you, a seed, to possess a fox and explore a forest to find the guardians of the seasons. Finding them will grant players the power to swap between seasons on the fly.
That is the basic premise of Seasons after Fall's story, which as you can imagine makes little sense, as the reasoning behind everything is never fully explained—at least as far as character motivations are concerned. At least there's a clear conclusion.
The story isn't why you'll want to play this though, the wonderful art style, animations, and calming gameplay is.
A young boy named Hue goes in search of his mother who has gone missing. Along the way, he discovers the ability to change the color of the world around him which makes objects of the same color disappear, and thus Hue can walk through where they were as if they don't exist.
Swapping colors with a color wheel via the right stick, basic platforming, and moving around some boxes are the only interactions you'll have playing Hue. While simplicity isn't a bad thing, a majority of the game's puzzles are far too easy as they consist of just being able to recognize colors, swapping to the intended color, and then proceeding. Only around the last 10% of the game's puzzles required any thought or skill on my part, and I don't exactly consider myself a brainiac. As it only took me around three hours to finish this, I was left disappointed with the lack of challenge.
What I'm about to say may shock you, but Metroid Prime: Federation Force is the best FPS for the Nintendo 3DS, and perhaps one of my favourite FPSs of all time. If you're a fan of the Metroid series, there is plenty to see, including Samus, who shows up in various cutscenes. If you're not, you're still in for a treat, especially if you have friends to play with.
Anyone who has read anything about this game knows that many fans of the series weren't happy with its announcement, as they had anticipated that Nintendo would reveal a new "proper" Metroid platformer of the sort that they had been dreaming of. After the announcement, there was mass down-voting of trailers, with people complaining that the game was ugly and that they hated the chibi art style.There was even a petition to get the game canceled. Were those people justified in their concerns and behaviors?


If your kiddo loves cars, send them to school with a fun car lunch box! These car themed lunch boxes are a fun and simple twist on a boring school lunch box. Just a few simple hacks and you'll have a fun lunch any car lover would love. All of these car lunch boxes are healthier than your average lunch box, packed with fruits and veggies.
The sheer number of times I have seen the movie Cars in the past few months is honestly daunting. I rented the movie once in an effort to get Ryan to sit still and quiet for once so Owen could get in a good nap (we have a tiny house and 8/10 naps Owen takes are interrupted by Ry screaming at the top of his lungs from outside where Owen is napping..) and it was the first time I have ever seen Ryan sit still for longer than 20 minutes. He sat and watched the entire thing in silence and since that day he asks nearly daily to watch it. I ended up buying it on Google Play so I can stream it and I'm pretty sure I could recite the movie line by line.
It really shouldn't have shocked me – a movie about race cars? For the little boy who came into this world already harboring a car obsession? The son of a mechanic? Yeah. It was kind of inevitable.
The reality of it is that Ryan is just obsessed with anything and everything car. He loves being in the car because he can point out cars as we pass them (YES it gets old really, really quickly) and he even classifies cars by who owns them – minivans are 'mom cars', Jeeps are 'grandpa cars' since my dad has one, pickup trucks are 'daddy trucks' – you get the picture. His other favorite show is Blaze and the Monster Machines, a kid's show about talking monster trucks.
So obviously, when I started thinking about making fun lunches for Ryan to take to school this year, I thought of car themed lunch boxes.
I've said before that one of the reasons I'm so excited for Ry to start school is because I can't wait to make him fun lunches – and I'll be starting with these fun car themed lunch boxes!
Main: Make a sandwich of your choice on a small oval roll. Cut 4 circles out of a fruit or veggie of your choice (I used green bell pepper) and skewer on 2 wooden kabob sticks. (I used one that I cut in half – you might want to file the ends though). Lift the top of your sandwich and nestle your 'axles' on to your sandwich before returning your car's 'roof'.
Cut 3 apples (red, green, yellow) into small strips to fit into container and order in 'stop light' order.
A fun, healthy snack for a car lunch box and car loving kid would love.
Choose carrots that have a defined cone shape at the end - you can use baby carrots with the bases cut so long as they are smaller at one end.
Peel and cut the tip of the carrot to about 1 inch and then cut a small amount of the top to create the top half of a traffic cone looking shape.
Add a small dollop or cream cheese to the bottom of your carrot and press it into a Cheeze-It.
Cut a red, green, and yellow bell pepper into strips the length of the container you plan to store them. Add a layer of dip (I usually do ranch or hummus) to the bottom of your container before layering your peppers in 'stoplight' order.
Add a snack your kiddos love – I used popcorn because it pops more and I knew I was going to be eating it, but be wary of popcorn and littles – it's not recommended for kiddos under 4. Top with stoplight colored candies!
Okay, so tell me – what is your kid obsessed with? Were they obsessed with it since day one? Let me know in the comments!
Looking for more fun lunches? You'll love these!

The Yukon Quest is finished for another year, and it won't be long before the The Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race is run from Dawson City to Eagle, Alaska, and back.
Feb. 15, 2013 9:00 a.m.
The Yukon Quest is finished for another year, and it won't be long before the The Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race is run from Dawson City to Eagle, Alaska, and back.
The race is named in honour of the last of a unique breed of men: the early mail carriers in the Yukon.
Percy DeWolfe carried mail by horse or dog team and by boat between Dawson City and Eagle for nearly 40 years, until he retired in 1949. He is reputed to have defied the elements on countless occasions, sometimes escaping death by a hair. In 1935, he received a silver medal for his service to the Yukon Territory from King George V.
Every year, one of the competing mushers in "The Percy" is chosen by a draw to carry the commemorative mail from Dawson to Eagle and back.
Carrying the mail in the early days was a physically challenging, sometimes lethal pursuit. The first documented mail carrier was Tom Williams, who in 1886, volunteered to carry mail to the coast that announced the discovery of gold in large quantities on the Fortymile River.
It was the dead of winter, but Williams persevered through melting temperatures, raging sub-zero arctic gales and starvation to carry his vital news to John Healy`s trading post at Dyea, Alaska. Williams died from the ordeal, but the mail got through.
Then there was John Brauer, from Circle City, Alaska. Brauer set out from Circle City with the U.S. mail September 14, 1897 and poled 300 miles up the Yukon River to Dawson City in 11 days. From there, he continued on his laborious journey with three other men, pushing a scow up the ice-clogged Yukon River.
At Sixty Mile they were compelled to lay over for five days because of poor conditions. Every couple of days after that, he and his party had to take their tiny boat out of the water to remove the ice caked on the hull, until they reached Carmack's Post.
There they turned landward over the Dalton Trail. He and his travelling party joined another group, which included Joe Boyle and Swiftwater Bill Gates. Together, they struggled through a metre of snow and brutal weather and trail conditions for 25 days.
During their trek over the trail, the temperature varied from -15 C during the daytime to -40 C at night. They had to burrow into the snow in the dark with nothing but their dogs and a blanket to keep them warm.
They started out with eight horses, but eventually had to kill them all to feed their dogs. But they all reached the coast alive. For this effort, Brauer's letters cost a mere two cents each for delivery.
During the gold rush, Ignace and Fred Hebert carried mail between Skagway and Dawson City, each with a team of 10 Labrador dogs. Ben Atwater, from Morrison, Illinois, who had first come into the Yukon basin to prospect in 1886, carried mail from Circle and Dawson City to Skagway in 1898.
Ben Downing, originally from somewhere on the east coast, spent time in Arizona and the Dakotas before coming north to the Yukon and Alaska. He was described as a fearless man of giant stature, and an intrepid dog musher who would get the mail to its destination on time despite the weather and river conditions. Downing was first awarded the contract to carry mail from Dawson City to Eagle in 1902. From there, he then carried mail on to Fort Gibbon, Alaska, a distance of 1,300 kilometres.
On one mail run to Dawson, Downing fell through the ice and continued with badly frozen feet, leaving behind him, it was reported, a trail of bloody footprints. He did not report to the hospital upon his arrival in Dawson; when he finally did, they amputated parts of four toes.
Downing left the Klondike a millionaire by all accounts, but it didn't do him any good. Having survived the brutal conditions in the North, he died from surgery in Seattle in January of 1906.
Eli Verreau, who came from Quebec, was another mail carrier in the early days. Verreau was working for Ben Downing, making a mail run to Eagle by boat in late October of 1902. Verreau's boat was crushed to splinters amidst the cakes of ice in a sharp bend in the Yukon River near Cliff Creek. The mail was lost and Verreau barely escaped with his life.
Three years later, Verreau is again reported in the news taking the mail from Dawson City to Eagle in early winter. Since the Canadian government did not maintain a winter trail north of Dawson, Verreau and his passenger were forced to break trail, knocking down hummocks of river ice with an axe as they proceeded. Verreau was the mail carrier between Dawson and Eagle from 1902 to 1920. He remained in the Yukon until his death in Mayo in 1954.
Percy DeWolfe started working for Verreau in 1910, later picking up the mail contract for the Eagle Run after Verreau moved on to other enterprises. DeWolfe carried mail between Dawson and Eagle for 39 years until the route was cancelled in 1949. DeWolfe had many close shaves, and became known as the "Iron Man of the North" for being able to deliver the mail under any conditions.
He was carrying the mail to Dawson with a team of horses in 1948 at 70 years of age. The horses broke through the ice on the Yukon River, and the sole passenger jumped to safety. DeWolfe leaped onto the sinking wagon and threw the mail bags and other freight to solid ice, but three horses drowned. According to the Dawson News, he still delivered the mail to Dawson on schedule.
and the mail run took place in 1977. Bruce Johnson of Atlin B.C. subsequently earned a reputation as an iron man by winning the race in three consecutive years between 1981 and 1983. He also ran the Yukon Quest in 1984, '85 and '86, becoming the first Canadian to win the event in 1986. He also finished second in 1993. Johnson competed in the Iditarod as well, but never ranked as high in the standings as he had in the tougher Quest races.
Johnson was not as fortunate as the invincible DeWolfe.
He was training his dog team in the fall of 1993 when they broke through the ice in Little Atlin Lake and he drowned along with his eight dogs.

Gallipoli – an Irish, as well as an Australian, campaign
This entry was posted on April 6, 2015 by Tinteán Editorial Team/EMcK, in Features, Gallipoli, History, Irish Soldiers at Gallipoli and tagged ANZAC Tradition, Gallipoli landings, Gallipoli. Irish Soldiers at Gallipoli. Bookmark the permalink.	2 Comments
Australians are preparing to commemorate the centenary of the fateful Gallipoli campaign. Most of us, brought up on stories of bravery, mateship, hardship and loss, can be forgiven for thinking that the battle for the Gallipoli peninsula was exclusively an Australian and New Zealand affair. At least, that is the way it is portrayed in the many TV productions being released to coincide with the centenary.
Gallipoli has been seen by many as the coming of age of a young nation and the citizen army that fought there [and later in France and Palestine] an example of a brave and vital people.
To the extent that we imagine that other nations were involved, this often appears limited to the role played by the English generals in charge of the ill-fated campaign whose leadership has been considered ineffective and unimaginative at best and, at worst, incompetent.
The author of the well-known Irish nationalist song, The Foggy Dew, had no such misconceptions. The song contains the powerful line: 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar'. These two place names are to be found on a map of the Gallipoli peninsula and represent places of battle in the campaign where thousands of Irish soldiers died.
The Foggy Dew
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out in the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew.
(Extract from The Foggy Dew, written by Canon Charles O'Neill.)
More than 200,000 Irish men served in the British Army during the First World War and about 35,000 were killed, an estimated 2,100-2,700 of whom died at Gallipoli, with many more wounded. Ireland's casualty figures were almost as great as those of New Zealand.
Following the Easter Rising in 1916 and the War of Independence in 1920-21, the role of Irish soldiers in the First World War was largely forgotten, being considered the work of men who fought in the wrong place and in the wrong army despite the fact that many of them had joined the British colours under Redmond's assurance that their support would ensure that '..small nations might be free..', as The Foggy Dew continues.
Unlike Australia [and Northern Ireland], the Republic of Ireland does not have war memorials in each town and city commemorating losses of men enrolled in the British Army in WW1, although on a per capita basis these losses were severe.
Recognition of the role of Irish soldiers in the Great War has been slowly increasing, helped in part by the activities of an Australian, Dr Jeff Kildea, author of ANZACS and Ireland [UNSW Press, 2007] from which much of the material in this article is drawn. Jeff Kildea has also played a major role in recognising and commemorating the role of Australian ANZACS of Irish origin, of which there were an estimated 6,600, nearly a thousand of whom died.
The contribution of Irish soldiers to the Gallipoli campaign is considerable and Australians might be surprised to know that they were involved in the campaign from April 25th 1915 until the last days. Moreover, they fought alongside Australian soldiers, including at the famous battle for Lone Pine, but also at the Second Krithia battle, at Chunuk Bair, Hill 60 and Quinn's Post. .
Who were these Irish soldiers? At the beginning of WW1, Britain sought to raise a new force, known as Kitchener's New Army consisting of 59 divisions. Three divisions of the New Army were raised in Ireland: the 10th (Irish) Division, the 16th (Irish) Division, both raised largely in the south, and the 36th (Ulster) Division from the north.
While these divisions were being raised and trained, regular Irish units of the British Army were recalled from overseas postings for service. These included the 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the 1st Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers which were posted to the 29th Division of the New Army which also included the 1st Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
V Beach
These units were involved in the landings at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915. The Gallipoli landings took place not only at the beach now known as ANZAC Cove [halfway up the western side of the peninsula] but also at its southern tip. A combined force of British and French forces stormed a series of beaches in the south, while the Australians and New Zealanders landed at ANZAC Cove.
Gallipoli Peninsula
At 6.25 am on the 25th April, three companies of the 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers, 700 men in total, landed near the Turkish town of Sud-El-Bar as part of the attack on V Beach.
'Alongside them, the River Clyde steamed towards the beach carrying about 2100 men, comprising the 1st Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers, two companies of the 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment, the remaining company of the Dublin Fusiliers and additional support troops'. (ANZACS and Ireland, p21).
So heavy were the Irish losses, that for three weeks after the landing the Dublins and the Munsters ceased to exist as separate units, being amalgamated into a composite battalion attached to the 87th brigade and nicknamed the 'Dubsters' (ANZACS and Ireland, p28).
Landing at Gallipoli'
Second Krithia
In early May the 2nd Australian Infantry Brigade under Irish born Colonel McCay and a New Zealand unit were sent south to assist the British 29th Division to attempt to take the town of Krithia. The two initial attacks failed and a third assault was launched, using the 87th Brigade which included the two Irish battalions, the 1st Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the survivors of V Beach, the Dubsters. The attack again failed as did two further attempts before the ANZACs were withdrawn. The battle in the south bogged down (as it had at ANZAC Cove).
In July and August 1915, the focus of operations shifted further north, to ANZAC Cove and beyond, as the British command sought to break the stalemate. Around ANZAC Cove, there were to be a series attempted breakouts and feints, partly to draw Turkish attention away from a genuine planned attack further north at Suvla Bay. The attempted breakouts from ANZAC Cove read as a roll call of well-known Australian and New Zealand battles. Irish troops fought alongside ANZAC troops in most of these fierce and bloody battles:
Chunuk Bair/Hill 971: ANZAC forces were supported by other units including the 29th Brigade of the 10th (Irish) Division which had now arrived. Citizen soldiers like their ANZAC comrades this brigade included the 6th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles, the 6th Battalion Leinster Regiment and the 5th Battalion Connaught Rangers
Lone Pine: a fiercely fought battle, meant to be only a diversion but which saw the Australian 1st Division achieve and hold their objective – they were supported by the 5th Battalion Connaught Rangers who saw their first action of the war in this brutal encounter
Sari Bair: a New Zealand operation initially into which Irish reserves were quickly thrown, including the 6th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles, the 6th Battalion Leinster Regiment and the Connaught Rangers
Hill 60: in which the Connaught Rangers were involved until they were reduced to 164 men and had to be replaced.
Lone Pine Memorial
Irish losses from these battles were high particularly among officer ranks, which was typical of first world war battles. The Royal Irish Rifles, for example, lost 21 of 25 officers (84%) and 354 out of about 750 other ranks (47%) and was unable to continue as a fighting unit (ANZACS and Ireland, p400).
Suvla Bay
The actions above were designed to draw the attention of the Turkish forces from a British attack at Suvla Bay on the 7th August. This was carried out by units of the 10th (Irish) Division not occupied elsewhere. The performance of the British commander of this operation has been much criticised and he was replaced in the field. The Irish citizen soldiers performed well, the fresh troops taking a feature known as Chocolate Hill, re-named Dublin Hill. Late in August, regular Irish troops of the 29th Division were sent up from the south to assist but ultimately the attack was a failure, with a third of the mostly Irish force being killed or wounded.
Jeff Kildea quotes Major Bryan Cooper, whose 10th (Irish) Division had been formed a year earlier in the opening days of the war as later writing: 'The 10th Division had been shattered, the work of a year had been destroyed in a week, and nothing material had been gained' (ANZACS and Ireland, p43).
Following the failure of the Gallipoli campaign and the decision to withdraw from the peninsula, the reprieve of the 10th (Irish) Division was brief. In December 1915, they were sent to Salonika to fight the Bulgarians who had entered the war on the side of Turkey. In September 1917 they were transferred to Palestine and fought alongside the Australian Light Horse in battles such as Beersheba. Kildea notes that during its time there the Irish component was steadily diluted due to declining enlistments until by the end of the war it was effectively an Indian division.
While the disaster at Gallipoli fueled the spirit of nationalism in Australia without weakening the ties of Empire, in Ireland it hardened attitudes towards the British.

Following is the speech delivered by Elham Zanjani, member of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, at a conference in Palermo, Italy, on November 23, 2017, on the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
I am here to bring to your attention the history of heroism of Iranian women and of course, the history of their sufferings.
Iranian women have a 150-year history of struggle for equality and against dictatorship. This history has placed Iranian women in a progressive position both culturally and intellectually. Women have played significant roles in three major movements in Iran during the twentieth century.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations urged for global action to combat violence against women and girls in advance of the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Violence against women and girls is the most extreme form of misogyny, encompassing domestic violence, sexual assault, and murder. In the most recent UN report, nearly one-fifth of women aged 15-49, across 87 countries, said that they had experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner in the past 12 months. While in 2012, almost half of all female murder victims worldwide were killed by an intimate partner or family member, compared with just 6% of male murder victims.
the epicenter of violence and injustice against women. I call on my fellow sisters, the women of Iran, to defy and stand up to this misogynous, anti-human regime.
In our country, Iran, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women exposes the crimes of a theocratic regime whose rule is a constant source and sponsor of violence against women.
Assaults, intimidation, insecurity, lack of support, denial of rights, humiliation and discrimination against women increase every year under the mullahs' rule.
The regime's extensive measures to impose the compulsory veil on Iranian women and the punishments and humiliation accompanying them are yet another part of the unremitting violence directed against women.
Today, the number of victims of corruption surpasses hundreds of thousands in Iran. The age of young girls dragged into prostitution has dropped considerably and the age of run-away girls has reached 9.
At work place, at school, on the streets, at home and in the family, discrimination against women and humiliating them, and various verbal and psychological forms of violence have become a pervasive epidemic.
Trade of girl children on the edge of cities has become a common practice among impoverished families afflicted with addiction and imposes a new form of slavery on destitute women.
In reality, the rule of the mullahs' religious dictatorship is the source of expansion and aggravation of such inhuman relations. Wasting the country's assets and revenues on criminal wars in the region, the consequent poverty and destitution afflicting the entire Iranian society, as well as the adoption and implementation of medieval laws are some of the ways in which they promote inhuman relations.
This regime has revived the most backward traditions and customs --that either had no place in society or were being eliminated four decades ago —and turned them into tools for subjugation and suppression of women. Under the mullahs' rule, violence is promoted under the law. The regime's anti-Islamic Penal Code as well as the laws sanctioning polygamy, temporary marriages and honor killings constantly fuel violence against women.
A plethora of inequalities and injustices have jeopardized Iranian women's status, including their inferior positon in the family, being deprived of job opportunities, and other discriminations which have made Iranian women the main victims of the country's economic bankruptcy and the enormous tide of dismissals and layoffs. To defend such oppression, the mullahs have openly declared war against the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discriminations against Women (CEDAW) and have refused to sign onto the Convention for the Elimination of Violence against Women, seeing them as threatening their regime.
In contrast, Iranian women have not given in to all these discriminations and pressures, but have undertaken their place at the forefront of the struggle against the mullahs' misogynous regime.
This is why the clerical regime holds deep resentment towards the women of Iran and particularly the resistant women.
It is common knowledge that the most savage tortures and brutish treatments were directed against female prisoners, and the PMOI women in particular in the regime's dungeons. By torturing and executing tens of thousands of combatant and Mojahedin women, the regime tops the list of all perpetrators of violence against women in today's world.
We will never forget the tortures inflicted on PMOI and other combatant women in the "Residential Unit" in the 1980s to crush their resistance. Nor will we forget the savagery and atrocities committed in Kahrizak and other torture chambers against Iran's sons and daughters in 2009.
Iranian women, however, are proud to have stood firm against the mullahs' barbarism. They include young high school and college students who exposed the mullahs' true nature and staged protests against them in the very first years of their rule, the heroines who persevered in Ashraf, and the PMOI's Central Council that leads the democratic movement against the mullahs. Together, they have built an insurmountable barrier against the clerical regime.
Today, we can see that Iranian women play an active and pioneering role in all anti-government protests, sit-ins and strikes by various sectors.
In the free Iran of tomorrow, Iranian women will uproot violence and injustice with their active and equal participation in political leadership. With creativity and determination, they will eliminate all forms of coercions and prohibitions for women and create a democratic and free society.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, this is a call to stop the state-sponsored violence against women in Iran.
Not only the clerical regime's Constitution and laws institutionalize violence against women and sanction the cruel punishments of flogging, stoning and blinding, but the regime systematically and formally undertakes violent measures against Iranian women day and night, throughout the country, an ongoing trend which follows an unprecedented brutal crackdown in the 1980s, eliminating thousands of oppositionist women.

What to teach law students
Sunday, 16 January 2022 15:32:33 CST David-Braverman General, Politics (0)
UC Berkeley Law School dean Erwin Cemerinsky and UTA Law & Government professor Jeffrey Abramson try to keep a stiff upper lip when teaching in the shadow of the most partisan Supreme Court in a century:
For the first time in American history, the ideology of the justices precisely corresponds to the political party of the president who appointed them. All six conservatives were appointed by Republican presidents and all three liberals were appointed by Democratic presidents.
If students are to one day become effective litigators on constitutional rights, they will need to understand the ideologies of the justices interpreting the law. In the past, we certainly discussed the ideology of the justices with our students, but we must focus on it far more now as the ideological differences between the Republican-appointed justices and judges and those appointed by Democratic presidents are greater than they have ever been.
Second, we must remind students that there have been other bleak times in constitutional law when rights were contracted. From the 1890s until 1936, a conservative Supreme Court struck down over 200 progressive federal, state and local laws protecting workers and consumers. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the court refused to stand up to the hysteria of McCarthyism. The current court will not last forever, though it may feel like that to them.
Third, we should direct focus on other avenues for change. Students need to look more to state courts and legislatures, at least in some parts of the country, as a way to advance liberty and equality. For instance, the Massachusetts Legislature passed a law known as the "Roe Act," protecting a woman's right to abortion under state law, no matter what the Supreme Court decides.
In case you didn't already notice it's 1890 all over again, I suppose. I also quibble with "For the first time in American history, the ideology of the justices precisely corresponds to the political party of the president who appointed them." I believe that was also the same situation in 1790, with the first Court appointed by Washington.

Just two of note. First, on this day 21 years ago, Al Gore conceded the 2000 election to George W Bush. Good thing that made almost no difference at all in world events.
Another anniversary is the one that happens every January 1st to works of art created a certain point in the past. A whole bunch of books, films, and musical compositions pass into the public domain as their copyrights expire, including:
The Sun Also Rises and Winnie-the-Pooh, both published in 1926;
The works of Louis Armstrong and Jim Morrison, who died in 1971 (except in the U.S.); and
All musical recordings made before January 1, 1923.

Cassie is bored

The temperature bottomed out last night just under -10°C, colder than any night since I adopted Cassie. (We last got that cold on February 20th.) Even now the temperature has just gone above -6°C. Though she has two fur coats on all the time, I still think keeping her outside longer than about 20 minutes would cause her some discomfort.
Add that it's Messiah week and I barely have enough free time to give her a full hour of walks today.
Meanwhile, life goes on, even if I can only get the gist of it:
Julia Ioffe points out that Russia itself turned NATO's attention back upon it, which doesn't really help Ukraine right now.
Jeannie Suk Gersen sees Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health as a challenge to the Supreme Court's authority.
The XPOTUS has set up a Special Purpose Acquisition Company that Josh Marshall calls "an open invitation to foreign bribes and payoffs."
Chicago drivers spent more time stuck in traffic than in any other major US city this year. Yay us.
Finally, journalist Allison Robicelli missed a connection at O'Hare this past weekend, and spent the wee hours exploring the empty terminals. The last time I stared down a 12-hour stay at an airport, I hopped into the Tube and spent 8 of those hours exploring the city instead, but I'm not a professional journalist.
"Ghost guns" aren't the problem—guns are
Sunday, 05 December 2021 14:59:25 CST David-Braverman General, Politics (0)
LTU history professor Andrew C McKevitt explains how gun capitalism fuels our gun crisis, not "ghost guns" (or "Saturday Night Specials" or mail-order guns or...):
Ghost guns are the latest iteration of this variety of moral panic, which distracts from and obscures the most direct source of the gun violence that plagues us: American gun capitalism, with its largely unrestricted production, distribution, marketing and sale of civilian firearms unequaled anywhere in the world. That system has placed a staggering 400 million guns in private hands in the United States, virtually all of them acquired through legal commerce — including the common firearm used in the Oxford High School shooting, which was purchased on Black Friday by the suspect's father.
Moral panics over niche firearms like ghost guns enable Americans to imagine we are addressing an intractable problem. But by portraying the gun issue as an ethical one — delineating virtuous and unvirtuous uses and users of guns — gun panics ignore the economics at the heart of the problem and contribute to worse social outcomes, like greater criminalization, while failing to stem gun violence.
For seven decades, gun panics have shaped gun control politics and policy, resulting in a discussion driven by distinctions between virtuous and unvirtuous gun use. Such a dichotomy obscures the fundamental reality of gun life in America: Gun capitalism has put more than 400 million guns in Americans' hands.
Gun panics operate on the specter of random violent crime, which has never represented the majority of gun deaths; Americans were and are much more likely to suffer gun violence at their own hands or those of people they know.
Along the same lines, journalist and retired politician David Pepper calls out broken state legislatures, such as Michigan's, that thwart the will of clear majorities of voters who favor stronger firearms regulation.
Egregiously bad parenting
Saturday, 04 December 2021 11:55:53 CST David-Braverman General, Politics (0)
Police arrested Jennifer and James Crumbley at a commercial building in Detroit today after a day-long manhunt. They're the parents of the kid who killed four of his high school classmates last week, and wow, are they in trouble:
Prosecutors allege that the parents bought the gun for their son, and that Jennifer Crumbley boasted on social media about taking her son to a shooting range to try it out. Authorities also say 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley's parents left the gun unlocked and neglected to act on concerns expressed by school officials that he might act violently.
Hours after announcing that the pair was being charged — an extraordinarily rare move to hold parents accountable when a minor uses a weapon in a school shooting — police officials said that the couple had gone missing. They were located overnight in a commercial building after an extensive search involving police dogs, local law enforcement and the U.S. Marshals Service, authorities said.
The details of how these idiots enabled their kid to shoot a dozen people boggle the mind:
According to the criminal complaint described by McDonald at a press conference, the Sig Sauer 9mm pistol that Ethan used to kill fellow students was purchased by James Crumbley at a local gun store with his son present on November 26, four days before the rampage.
"Just got my new beauty today," Ethan posted on social media that same day, according to the complaint, along with photos of the Sig Sauer weapon.
"Mom and son day, testing out his new Christmas present," Jennifer allegedly posted on social media the following day.
In the days leading up to the attack, an Oxford High teacher had "observed Ethan searching ammunition on his cellphone during class," according to McDonald—a common warning behavior in school shooting cases. That prompted attempts by worried school officials to contact his parents via phone and email; the school got no response from the Crumbleys, said McDonald. Shortly after that outreach, Jennifer exchanged text messages with her son, according to McDonald.
"LOL, I'm not mad at you," she allegedly texted to Ethan. "You have to learn not to get caught."
By the morning of the shooting, graphically violent images Ethan had drawn in class prompted school officials to convene an urgent meeting with the Crumbleys and their son at the school. In his backpack, Ethan had the Sig Sauer and dozens of rounds of ammunition, according to prosecutors. Whether the parents may have suspected or been aware of that is unknown, but according to McDonald they did not ask about the whereabouts of the newly purchased weapon or inspect Ethan's backpack. They left the high school, refusing a recommendation to take Ethan with them, according to McDonald. "He was returned to the classroom," she said. Investigators further determined that the gun had been stored in an unlocked drawer in the Crumbley's home.
The utter depravity.
The couple have pleaded not guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter. If convicted, they could spend the rest of their lives in prison. I hope they do.
Thursday afternoon miscellany

First, continuing the thread from this morning, (Republican) columnist Jennifer Rubin neatly sums up how the Republican justices on the Supreme Court seem poised to undo Republican Party gains by over-reaching:
We are, in short, on the verge of a constitutional and political tsunami. What was settled, predictable law on which millions of people relied will likely be tossed aside. The blowback likely will be ferocious. It may not be what Republicans intended. But it is coming.
Next up, Washington Post sports columnist Barry Svrluga argues that the Major League Baseball labor dispute and the lockout announced this morning will do nothing to prevent baseball from continuing its fade into irrelevance:
What can't happen as MLB and the players' union negotiate, though, is the actual game they stage being forgotten. Whatever the flaws in its salary structure and the dispersal of revenue, there's money to go around. ... What should matter more than the money, then, has to be the game itself. The game itself is wounded.

Even though the Court probably won't release its ruling in the Mississippi anti-abortion bill until June, just about everyone has the same understanding about how it will turn out. No one seems to believe abortion will remain legal in much of the US beyond the end of this term. My guess: Justice Amy Coney Barrett (R) writing the opinion for a 5-4 Court with an unusual number of concurrences and dissents.
If the Court overturns or significantly curtails Roe v Wade, it will be one of the rare times that the Court has taken away a right. For all of the Republican Justices' and Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart's positioning that Roe was wrongly decided just like Plessy or Dred Scott, their analogy breaks down when you observe that in those two other cases, the Court also removed the existing rights of a living human being under state sanction.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh (R) got halfway to the fundamental problem with abortion law when he observed (at 106):
[T]he problem, I think ... and the reason this issue is hard, is that you can't accommodate both interests. You have to pick. That's the fundamental problem. And one interest has to prevail over the other at any given point in time, and that's why this is so challenging, I think.
Except he's full or shit. Courts decide where to draw the line between competing interests all the time. That's the point of courts, and the point of Roe v Wade. Justice Kavanaugh means rather that the court can't resolve absolute interests. If you believe, as the Catholics on the Court believe, that life begins at conception—that is, it's an article of religious faith for you—then abortion is anathema.
But if you believe, as the vast majority of the American people believe, that life begins at some point after conception but before birth, then you have to weigh the mother's life and liberty against the potential life of the lump of cells in her uterus.
If the Court overturns Roe, abortion will become immediately illegal or heavily restricted in 26 states, and may soon be curtailed in several others. Wisconsin, Arizona, and Michigan all have existing anti-abortion statutes that would return to full effect were Roe overturned.
The silver lining to the dark cloud of thousands of women being condemned to poverty, injury, or death because the state forces them to carry unwanted pregnancies to term? The Court will have to decide this case before the end of June, four months before the 2022 Congressional elections, as well as gubernatorial elections in the aforementioned Wisconsin and Michigan.
Finally, keep in mind that the Right has clear goals in the US and in every other democracy they're attacking: authoritarian rule that allows the rulers to pillage the ruled. Undermining trust in institutions is part of their strategy. And as Justice Sonia Sotomayor (I) asked rhetorically yesterday (at 15), "Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?" Well, no, as anyone who has studied history can tell you.
And America takes one more step toward the Rubicon.

Today is the 50th anniversary of DB Cooper jumping out of a hijacked airplane into the wilds of Washington State. It's also the day I will try to get a Covid-19 booster shot, since I have nothing scheduled for tomorrow that I'd have to cancel if I wind up sleeping all day while my immune system tries to beat the crap out of some spike proteins in my arm.
