Disney World Hollywood Studios Rides
If you're a fan of Hollywood movies, you won't want to miss a trip to Disney world Hollywood studios rides. Located near Orlando, Florida, this theme park features rides inspired by the world of Hollywood movies. Among the many attractions at the park are the Star Wars ride and the Spider-Man spinner. However, there are more than just those two. You can enjoy a variety of other Disney-themed attractions, as well as a variety of other fun activities.
How to Choose Disney World Hollywood Studios Rides
One of the longest-running attractions at Hollywood Studios is the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. This roller coaster is the ultimate thrill ride and has been around for twenty years. It features three inversions and an Aerosmith-inspired headset for an immersive experience. Its speed and duration of 90 seconds are enough to send you into a frenzy. If you're not into fast rides, you can't go wrong with the Toy Story VR ride.
The new ride is set in a hotel where the guests of the iconic television show "The Twilight Zone" mysteriously vanished in a hotel elevator during a storm in 1939. The building has remained unoccupied since that day. Guests climb into an elevator-style lift and buckle up for a trip into the shadowy corners of imagination. Throughout the ride, you'll hear ominous sounds and witness chilling scenes.

The Book of Common Prayer (or BCP for short) is the source of our worship rites and includes our beliefs, rubrics and practices as well. As the name suggests, it is the people's book, and we are a people of the book.
From the Greek word episkopos which is where the word "bishop" comes from, the Episcopal denomination is a unique one in Christianity. Grounded in a three-pronged belief in Scripture (the Bible's Old and New Testaments together), Tradition (our iconic worship and Anglican theology) and Reason (our expanding understanding of culture and science), the Episcopal Church is an international subsidiary of the Anglican Church. Our "mother" church is the Church of England. The Episcopal Church is led by our Presiding Bishop, the Most. Rev. Michael B. Curry. Grace Church is member of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, led by Diocesan Bishop the Rt. Rev. Jeffrey D. Lee.
Our worship is traditional in that it evokes the Catholic heritage that is so important to our identity. We wear vestments, the priest wears a collar, we bless, absolve and sanctify and the Eucharist (Communion) is central to our liturgies each week. Music is important to us as well, coming from a long rich tradition.

China's Iran oil imports to rebound in December as buyers use US waivers
China's Iran oil imports to rebound in December as buyers use US waivers /node/1417256/business-economy

Updated 07 December 2018
China's waiver on US sanctions allows it to buy 360,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil for 180 days
For November and December, Iranian Heavy crude sold to Asia has been priced at $1.25 a barrel below Saudi's Arab Medium
Beijing/Singapore: China's Iranian oil imports are set to rebound in December after two state-owned refiners in the world's largest oil importer began using the nation's waiver from US sanctions on Iran, according to industry sources.
Sinopec resumed Iran oil imports shortly after Tehran's biggest crude buyer received its waiver in November, while China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) will restart lifting from its own Iranian production in December.
It was reported in November that China's waiver on US sanctions allows it to buy 360,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil for 180 days.
Top Chinese energy group CNPC, which has invested billions of dollars in Iranian oilfields, is ready to load its full share of production from December, said an oil executive with direct knowledge of CNPC's Iran activities.
The executive estimated CNPC will load at least two million barrels a month from December, doubling previous levels to help compensate for cuts made before sanctions on Iran's oil exports went into effect on Nov 5.
Before the waivers had been announced, Sinopec, Asia's largest oil refiner, had planned to stop loading Iran oil in November, but resumed imports within days of getting the exemption, a second source said.
"We continued lifting Iranian oil in November because we received the waiver," the second source added.
Sinopec and CNPC will likely use up the 360,000 bpd of Iranian oil imports allowed to China under the waiver.
Another source said Iranian oil is "attractively priced" versus rival supplies from the Middle East.
For November and December, Iranian Heavy crude sold to Asia has been priced at $1.25 a barrel below Saudi's Arab Medium, a discount not seen since 2004. The source also said many Chinese refiners were geared toward processing Iranian crude grades.
At 360,000 bpd, China's purchases would still be 45 percent less than the average 655,000 bpd imported during the January-September period.
The rise in Iranian oil supply and surging production from the United States, Russia and OPEC countries has pulled down crude oil prices by almost a third since October. Ahead of the sanctions being implemented in early November, China's crude oil imports from Iran fell to 1.05 million tons (247,260 bpd) in October, the lowest since May 2010, Chinese customs data shows. Data from the provider Refinitiv Eikon, however, shows that 2.77 million tons of Iranian crude were discharged into Chinese ports in October, including into bonded storage tanks in Dalian.
By December, China's Iran oil imports could reach almost 3 million tons, the Eikon data showed. A total 2.51 million tons of Iranian crude were discharged into Dalian in October and November, according to the data. Other major Iranian oil buyers, including India, South Korea and Japan, are also increasing or resuming orders.
It is still not clear whether Iran will be able to export much oil after the US sanctions waivers expire around the start of May.

Egyptian economy on right track after 5.6% growth in 2018-2019: prime minister /node/1527056/business-economy
Egypt is emerging from a three-year economic reform program tied to a $12 billion loan from the IMF
Egypt has been praised by international lenders for swift reforms implemented since 2016
CAIRO: Egypt's economy grew 5.6 percent in the 2018/19 fiscal year and is "on the right track" as it completes IMF-backed reforms, Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli said on Wednesday.
The budget deficit came in at 8.2 percent of GDP, he said, which was slightly below an official forecast of 8.4 percent.
Egypt is emerging from a three-year economic reform program tied to a $12 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund.
Madbouli said Egypt's primary surplus stood at 2 percent for the fiscal year, which ended in June, and also pointed to a recent drop in inflation as positive signs. Economic growth was up from 5.3 percent in 2017/18 and in line with a government forecast.
"At the same time, it induces us to complete the implementation of reforms and the efforts exerted to achieve the targets for the new fiscal year," Madbouli said in a statement said.
Egypt has been praised by international lenders for swift reforms implemented since 2016, though austerity measures and inflation have left many Egyptians struggling to get by.
The reforms included a sharp devaluation of the currency, the introduction of value-added tax and the elimination of subsidies on most fuel products.
Headline annual inflation dropped to 9.4 percent in June from 14.1 percent the previous month, though it is expected to rise over the rest of the summer as the impact of the latest round of fuel subsidy cuts kicks in.

Company History - Computing Dynamics Inc.
Computing Dynamics Inc. (CDI) was incorporated in 1994 by Gordon and France Johnson. Gordon began CDI's mission after working with clients in the automotive industry for many years and noticing an opportunity to not only save dealerships time and money by enhancing their monthly reporting process, but saving them some headaches by offering them outstanding, personalized support for CDI's products and services. Over the next 23 years, Gordon and France quietly built their business around the expressed needs of their customers, many of whom still provide their trusted insights and experience to help us shape our products and services even to this day. By truly listening to and learning about their customers over the years, the business has grown almost entirely by customer referrals to over 400 dealerships right across Canada – From Victoria, British Columbia to St. John's, Newfoundland.
Finex was built in 1995 to simplify the month end process, which we know to commonly be a time-consuming, manual process for automotive controllers and secretary-treasurers. Hours or even days are spent sourcing key expense and performance indicators from current & historical factory statements, and then compiling them into various report templates before manually distributing to each manager and stakeholder the appropriate reports. Finex is a solution which uses automation to do all that heavy lifting for you, so that your accounting and leadership teams can access key insights within minutes, and spend more time using that performance data each month rather than sourcing and compiling it.
Over the years, Finex has continued to differentiate itself as the only automated reporting solution which is DMS agnostic, so that your reporting will be consistent even across multiple stores, vehicle brands, and/or multiple DMS providers. This protects your investment and prevents reporting disruption if new stores are acquired by your organization, or if your dealership changes it's DMS vendor.
Eclipse came along in 2004, after learning from our customers that budgeting and forecasting was either a lengthy, painful process each year for their dealership – or in many cases, was not being done at all for lack of time and tools.
CDI wanted to provide a solution for its Finex customers that would take their monthly reporting and turn it into an interactive program which would use the customer's financial history as well as current industry standards to generate a highly intelligent forecasting starting point each year. From there, managers can easily make adjustments and run scenarios while Eclipse records your work and balances your changes across the budget as you go. Eclipse provides a robust set of working tools while remaining simple and easy for any user to navigate. Each year, we continue to enhance its tools and capabilities to make budgeting easy and accessible for all dealerships.
Erin Adair, CDI's current CEO, spent 4 years working with Gordon and France at CDI as an employee. Erin started out here as a financial reporting consultant, before moving into accounting and eventually becoming the company's controller. During her time as an employee, Erin developed an intimate technical understanding of our products and built valued relationships with many of our clients. Erin's accounting background, combined with her technical knowledge and understanding of how our clients in the automotive industry do business, makes her a tremendous asset to our clients. It's this passion for what we do and strong connection with our customers that led her to purchasing the business in 2017, in order to continue CDI's legacy as a customer-centric, family-run Canadian business. As we move forward in our 25th year as a company, we continue to put our customers at the heart of everything we do. You may notice some updates over the coming year to our branding and website, and some new products being added to our offering. But rest assured that you will continue to hear the same friendly voices answering your calls at our office (and perhaps a new one here and there as we continue to grow our team!), and you can expect the same unwavering commitment to exceeding your expectations in everything we do.

National Endowment for the Arts Acting Chairman Mary Anne Carter has approved more than $27 million in grants as part of the Arts Endowment's first major funding announcement for fiscal year 2019. Included in this announcement is a Challenge America grant of $10,000 to The Writer's Voice for the 2019 High Plains BookFest. Challenge America grants support projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations—those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability.
"The arts enhance our communities and our lives, and we look forward to seeing these projects take place throughout the country, giving Americans opportunities to learn, to create, to heal, and to celebrate," said Mary Anne Carter, acting chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.
The 18th annual High Plains BookFest scheduled for October 10-12, 2019 will be a three day event of free public readings, workshops and panel discussions in Billings, Montana, by contemporary authors from the American West and Canada. The BookFest is held in conjunction with the High Plains Book Awards.
More than 200 authors from seven western states and three Canadian providences will be vying for book awards in 13 categories; the three finalists in each category will be invited to the BookFest. However, none of the authors receive honorariums. A grant from the NEA will help pay for transportation costs to Canadian finalists to attend the BookFest in Billings in October.
Touring support by U.S. or Canadian publishers is rare and cross border touring is too expensive for the many authors to do out-of-pocket. Hence, new literary work, particularly international work, is seldom heard. This grant addresses that concern, and provides opportunity for more Canadian authors to share their work with audiences in Montana. Nearly 1/3 of all books entered in the Book Awards are from Canadian authors.
"Montana and Canada share a rich cultural history and several writers such as Richard Ford, Guy Vanderhaeghe, Thomas King, and Allen Safarik have explored those common themes and connections," said Writer's Voice director Corby Skinner, "One of my goals for the BookFest is to open the cultural highway between our two countries," he added.

It has to be said that after yesterday's performances the technical status of the contracts is pretty clear and straightforward. The sell signal on ICE on Wednesday turned out to be unjustified as the contract rallied and closed over significant resistance and provided us with a buy signal. NYMEX did not bother to seriously challenge either its support area or resistance levels therefore the only way forward in this contract is to be flat and potentially act on the close.
October ICE: When I say that the technical state of this contract is quite clear I really mean that it is clearly uncertain with some upside potential. The fact is that the 13-day M/A was closed above and a genuine buy signal was given. It is now advised to take profit on half of these long positions when the 34-day continuation M/A at around 41.10 is in sight and go flat on the test of the 41.69 correction point resistance. The 5 and 8-day M/As are jammed together at 40.24 and 40.21. Half of any fresh long positions should be liquidated on a sustained intra-day break below this support area.

(August 7, 2015)- A Cape Coral man was hospitalized late yesterday afternoon after rolling his vehicle in the 4400 block of Country Club Boulevard.
Investigators say 70 year old Marc Jay Bierach had difficulty negotiating the curve in the 4300 block of Country Club Boulevard losing control and rolling his SUV just after 5:00 PM.
The vehicle came to rest in the driveway of a house where it caught fire. Cape Coral Police, Fire, and EMS responded and extricated Bierach from his vehicle. He was trauma alerted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The investigation is ongoing. Charges pending.
LOCATION: 4400 block of Country Club Blvd.
VEHICLE 1 (V-1): A 2014, four door, silver Nissan Rogue SUV.
DRIVER 1 (D-1): Marc Jay Bierach, W/M, 70, of Cape Coral, Florida.
DRIVER 1 INJURIES: Bierach was trauma alerted to a local hospital due to injuries he suffered in the traffic crash.
V-1 was traveling north on Country Club Blvd at the 4400 block in the outside lane. At the 4400 block of the Country Club Blvd the road starts an S-curve, which curves the roadway left and then right at the 4300 block.
As V-1 was traveling, D-1 failed to negotiate the curve of the road and V-1`s right side tires left the roadway and entered into the grassy area between the road and the sidewalk. V-1 then continued northbound in the grass and the right front of V-1 struck two streets signs. After striking the street signs, V-1 came back onto the roadway and traveled north toward the 4300 block, crossing both northbound lanes of the road. The front tires of V-1 then struck the curb of the median and V-1 traveled north in the median of the road. As V-1 was traveling in the median, the front end of V-1 struck another street sign, then an oak tree, and finally a concrete light post. As V-1 struck the concrete light post, V-1 rotated clockwise, leaving the median and entered into the southbound lanes of the roadway. V-1 then rolled over onto the left side and slid northbound across both southbound lanes. As V-1 was sliding, it flipped over from its left side to its right side and came to final rest in the driveway of the residence located at 4306 Country Club Blvd.
Once V-1 was at its final rest, it caught fire and D-1 became trapped inside of V-1. CCFD arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire and extricated D-1 from V-1 through the roof. D-1 was then treated at the scene by LCEMS Medic 4 and trauma altered to a local hospital for further treatment for his injuries. D-1 is currently at the hospital and in stable condition.
Due to the severity of the crash and D-1's injuries, Major Crash Investigator Cpl. N. Green, Drug Recognition Expert Sgt. Causer, Forensics and Victim Advocates responded to the incident.
This crash is alcohol/drug related.

Wall playoff game pushed back after NJSIAA implements 'play-in' game
Bob Badders
Download the Shore Sports Network App!
Wall, the top-ranked team in the Shore Conference and the No. 1 seed in the Central Jersey Group 3 state playoffs, has been forced to delay its opening-round game because of an 11th-hour decision by the NJSIAA to implement a play-in game between Allentown and Robbinsville.
Allentown and Robbinsville will play on Wednesday at 7 p.m. with the winner officially earning the final playoff spot and then facing Wall on Sunday at 1 p.m.
The undefeated Crimson Knights earned the No. 1 seed in the South, Group 3 super section following an 8-0 regular season that was highlighted by victories over Rumson-Fair Haven, Mater Dei Prep, Jackson Memorial and St. John Vianney. Robbinsville also finished the regular season unbeaten (9-0), but under vastly different circumstances, and was 17th in the final United Power Ranking. The top 16 teams make the playoffs.
Robbinsville has not had a winning record since 2007, including two winless seasons, before this season's breakout. The combined record of its opponents this season is 22-42, including two teams with zero wins and three more with only one win.
However, a new rule implemented for this season states that any team that finishes the regular season undefeated with eight or more wins will automatically be eligible for the state playoffs. Because of that new rule, which came about after Delran finished last season 7-1 but did not qualify for the playoffs and protested to the NJSIAA, Robbinsville jumped over the No. 16 team, Allentown (4-4), for the final playoff spot.
The wording of the NJSIAA playoff regulation, specifically the word 'eligible' and the fact the document does not specify which team gets bumped out of the playoffs to make room for an undefeated team not already in the top 16, opened the door for Allentown to challenge the decision. The NJSIAA decided its best course of action would be to create a play-in game, which Robbinsville will host on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
This decision clearly affects Wall and also Matawan, the latter of which was set to play Allentown in an NJSIAA regional crossover game on Thursday. Matawan will now play Plainfield at 11 a.m.
The situation is more frustrating for Wall, which plays its home games on Friday nights but will now have to wait until Sunday to begin its championship quest, all because the Is weren't dotted and Ts weren't crossed on a new rule and its ramifications. The NJSIAA regulations have no mention of a play-in game anywhere in the document.
Wall could not play the winner of the Robbinsville/Allentown game on Friday night because the National Federation of High School Associations recommends, but - does not require - teams play no more than two games in a nine-day period. Robbinsville played on Saturday. The NJSIAA asked Wall to host the first-round game on Monday but Wall objected.
Regardless of which team Wall plays, the Crimson Knights will be the heavy favorite. Assuming they move on, the schedule now becomes their problem moving forward. They would have to turn around and play a sectional semifinal game on Friday, Nov. 15 following the Sunday game on Nov. 10. If they reach the sectional championship game they will be playing three games in 12 days.

My name's Pete. I study Wing Chun (my sifu is ex-forces, ex-boxer) so it's no-nonsense practical stuff. No Walter Mitty in Mandarin jackets! Spent a fair while training in escrima. Over the last 20 years I've tried an awful lot of styles over the years, but usually about 6 months to a year in I realised these guys were paper tigers who thought they had the One True Way.
Welcome to the forum Pete. Looking forward to your input.
Are you saying that the possesion of a mandarin jacket is not conclusive proof of proficiency in self protection?
In that case I have been duped!
Thanks for the welcome gents. Well, if the Mandarin jackets are from IpMan's tailor then I guess it's ok! Same as I guess it's kosher if the Krav boys' camo gear comes from the IDF. when I had my training group the boys voted to move from tees to savage unitards...I have always hoped they were joking.

Q: Get Azure Function keys from an Azure Function at deployment time? I'm sending an email in Azure Functions using the SendGrid bindings. As part of the contents of that email, I'd like to include a link to one of the HTTP methods in the Azure Functions instance for more information. I have all my HTTP functions secured with AuthorizationLevel.Function.
I've seen a solution for scraping the keys from ARM and Kudu in PowerShell (and this one) and a solution to output the keys with just ARM, but these both rely on having something my Azure Functions do not: permissions to the ARM (Azure Resource Management) APIs.
I also found the Key management APIs for the Azure Functions host which works exactly as I want locally, but I don't know how to get past the 401 Unauthorized once the Azure Functions are deployed. I can get past it manually with the _master function key, but then I'm back to not knowing how to get that key at runtime.
The question is this: Is it possible to get the key for an Azure Function at runtime from the Azure Function Host somehow? I would very much prefer to not need ARM permissions to do that.

A: try the following two steps:

*

*get the host master key:
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourcegroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{functionApp}/functions/admin/masterkey?api-version=2016-08-01

*Get the function keys:
GET https://{functionApp}.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/{functionName}/keys?code={masterKeyFromStep1}

response from the step 2:
    {
      "keys": [
        {
          "name": "default",
          "value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
        }
      ],
      "links": [
        {
          "rel": "self",
          "href": "https://myFncApp.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/myFunction/keys"
        }
      ]
 }

Update:
Note, that the step 1 requires an authorization header in the format:
Authorization: Bearer bearerToken

where a bearerToken string can be obtained from Azure Active Directory (AAD), see the following code snippet of the example:
    private string AccessToken(string clientID)
    {
        string redirectUri = "https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf";
        authContext = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize", TokenCache.DefaultShared);
        var ar = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync("https://management.azure.com/", clientID, new Uri(redirectUri), new PlatformParameters(PromptBehavior.SelectAccount)).Result;
        return ar.AccessToken;
    }

Note, that the clientID is the quid of your registered application in the AAD with an API access permission for Windows Azure Service Management API.

A: To do this in a CI pipeline using ARM templates you need to ensure you key vault and function up are in the same resource group.

*

*Deploy your function app using ARM

*Deploy the function to the function app - update this code to look for the key from keyvault as you've mentioned you do for your SendGrid API Key

*Run the below as an ARM template ensuring it is run as incremental. This will get the key from the named function and put it into the desired key vault.
{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "functionAppName":: {
            "type": "string",
            "metadata": {
                "description": "The name of the function app that you wish to get the key from."
            }
        },
        "functionName": {
            "type": "string",
            "metadata": {
                 "description": "The name of the function that you wish to get the key from."
          }
        },
        "keyVaultName": {
            "type": "string",
            "metadata": {
                "description": "The name of the key vault you wish to put the key in."
            }
        }
    },
    "variables": {
        "functionAppName": "[parameters('functionAppName')]",
        "keyVaultName": "[parameters('keyVaultName')]",
        "functionName": "[parameters('functionName')]"
    },
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/secrets",
            "name": "[concat(variables('keyVaultName'),'/', variables('functionAppName'))]",
            "apiVersion": "2015-06-01",
            "properties": {
                "contentType": "text/plain",
                "value": "[listsecrets(resourceId('Microsoft.Web/sites/functions', variables('functionAppName'),  variables('functionName'),'2015-08-01').key]"
            },
            "dependsOn": []
        }
    ]
}

A: Powershell way:
$funcKey = (Invoke-AzResourceAction `
    -Action listKeys `
    -ResourceType 'Microsoft.Web/sites/functions/' `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup `
    -ResourceName "$funcAppName/$funcName" `
    -Force).default

A: Nuget: Microsoft.Azure.Management.Fluent API can now manage the keys:
using Microsoft.Azure.Management.AppService.Fluent;

var functionApp = AzureInstance.AppServices.FunctionApps.GetByResourceGroup(resourceGroupName, functionAppName);
foreach (var function in functionApp.ListFunctions())
{
    var functionName = function.Name.Split('/')[1];
    var functionKeys = functionApp.ListFunctionKeys(functionName);

    functionKeys.TryGetValue(keyName, out string functionKey);
    dict.Add(functionName, functionKey);

}

you can also set new keys:
(pass null as secret for auto-generated key)
foreach (var function in functionApp.ListFunctions())
{
    var functionName = function.Name.Split('/')[1];
    var nameValue = functionApp.AddFunctionKey(functionName, keyName,null);
}

Caveat: To make this work in production, the FunctionApp Identity must have the RBAC Owner Role of the Function App. This is set on the Access Control(IAM) Blade.

A: You can get master and function keys via HTTP using Kudu:
Example (in Powershell):
$RSGROUP="mygroup"
$WEBAPPNAME="myfunctionsapp"
$function="myfunction"

$DeploymentUrl = Get-AzWebAppContainerContinuousDeploymentUrl -ResourceGroupName $RSGROUP -Name $WEBAPPNAME

$userpass = $DeploymentUrl.split("@")[0].Replace("https://","")
$kuduCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($userpass))

$jwt = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$WEBAPPNAME.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/functions/admin/token" -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $kuduCreds)} -Method GET

$masterkey=(Invoke-RestMethod "https://$WEBAPPNAME.azurewebsites.net/admin/host/systemkeys/_master" -Headers @{Authorization="Bearer $jwt"}).value
$functionkey=(Invoke-RestMethod "https://$WEBAPPNAME.azurewebsites.net/admin/functions/$function/keys" -Headers @{Authorization="Bearer $jwt"}).keys[0].value

Fourteen years ago these days I sat in a meeting with different Social security administration (SSA) Operations Executives as we discussed the mundane information of operational sports and methods related to overseeing the company's huge advantages packages. Shortly after we started our session, the local Commissioner from ny became called out of the assembly. When she returned, her face was light and he or she said with a trembling voice, "a plane just struck one of the global change center homes". Questioning this became a random, yet lousy event, a tv become delivered into the assembly and we endured our discussions. Quickly thereafter, a 2d aircraft hit the alternative Tower. As we attempted to preserve the assembly, one govt stood up and informed everybody to forestall and awareness on what changed into happening. We speedy shifted our meeting motive to cope with the horror that changed into unfolding earlier than us.
We observed out later that one of the planes had definitely flown very close to the windows of the Federal building in ny and SSA body of workers ought to see the faces of the terrified passengers who found out they were quickly going to die. Many employees needed counseling to deal with that enjoy and different scenes from that day. The tragedy traumatized the u . S . However many fast realized that households of the victims and survivors needed assist.
Fourteen years have now exceeded in view that that horrible day. Memorials have risen, youngsters have grown up, many widows and widowers have re-married, and the shiny pictures have begun to mirror a time this is speedy receding at the back of us. As we pause to don't forget, allow us to remember now not best the victims and their families, however also the thousands of public servants who committed their time to ensuring that inside the midst of tragedy human beings may want to find wish in the goodness of others and receive the help they wanted.

Hunting in : United States : Montana : Avalanche Basin Outfitters
Avalanche Basin Outfitters
PO Box 17 White Sulphur Springs
Doug & Zita Caltrider
avalanche@mtintouch.net
Avalanche Basin Outfitters is located in the Big Belt Mountain Range of central Montana, hunting district 446. The hunting area lies 23 miles northwest of White Sulphur Springs and consists of 46,000 acres of beautiful, mountainous, private ranchlands. Hunters have averaged 70% success on five and six point bull elk and 60% success on four and five point mule and whitetail deer over the last 33 years. The antelope we are harvesting average 14" in horn length.
These ranches include seven main drainages, the two largest being Beaver Creek and Elk Creek. The ridges and south slopes are covered with scattered timber and numerous basins. Elevations vary from 4,650 ft. to 6,900 ft. The tops of these ridges offer miles of open parks and benches, where much of our hunting takes place. The north slopes are steep with heavy red fir, lodge pole pine, and quaking aspen timber for cover.
Destination point is White Sulphur Springs, Montana. The closest commercial airport is Helena Regional Airport in Helena, Montana. We provide all transportation to and from camps. We also provide airport pickup on request.
We work out of a modern camp during the week. The camp consists of a clean, comfortable cook house, propane heated cabins (2 people per cabin), and hot showers. We are able to drive into the camp and travel by 4x4 vehicles to different areas and drainages throughout the week. This enables hunters to access much of the area and harvest the best animals available during their hunt. It also enables us to accommodate people of mixed ages and physical abilities. We offer both 2 hunters per 1 guide, and 1 hunter per 1 guide rates to insure personal service.
We provide all camp, equipment, food, guides and accommodations while you are hunting. You will need to bring your personal effects, sleeping bag, binoculars, ammunition, boots and clothing. You are also responsible for license fees, taxidermy fees, meat processing & shipping.


I have never heard of this circus before, but all the posters claim it to be "world-famous". So, if it is indeed world-famous, then the Medrano Circus should not be missed.
Price / Range: Tickets can be purchased at the circus entrance directly.
I saw this Circus 3 years ago in Limassol and it was first class. All the animals were in beautiful condition, there was no whipping of the animals, whips are used but only as an extension of the arm, many commands are now with voice from the trainer.
Circus has come a long way in recent years, no longer are wild animals brought from the wild but born in captivity, without Circus and Zoos having these breeding programmes many animals would be near to extinction.
Don't be swayed by the Anti Animal Activists go and see the show and make your own judgement.
Can you please give me the opening times of the circus in Nicosia next week.
Saw Medrano on Independence Day 1986. OK, but pretty lame compared to today's standards. Like watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on a black-and-white TV.

PCI compliance is not a single event, but an ongoing process. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was established by the major card brands. All businesses that process, store, or transmit payment card data are required to implement the standard to prevent cardholder data theft.
As a Merchant or Service Provider, you are responsible for ensuring that you achieve and maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). The DSS defines requirements for the protection of consumers' payment card information while stored, in transit or during processing. Organizations that fail to comply with the PCI DSS potentially face significant fines, loss of customer goodwill, and may lose the ability to accept credit cards for payment.
Our team walks through the PCI DSS and holds current practices against DSS requirements to determine any gaps in compliance. Following our evaluation, we provide a detailed gap analysis that ranks areas of non-compliance by risk level along with detailed steps to remediate these gaps.
Our team provides subject-matter expertise as you take steps to remediate any gaps in compliance.
Once you feel confident that your organization is compliant, our team will walk through the self-assessment questionnaire with you and help you develop the best response and determine if there are any weak points in compliance.
Our team evaluates the architecture design of your network and/or application environment to determine its compliance with DSS standards and corrects any existing architecture design flaws.
Our team attempts to gain access to your logical systems by using unknown (black box), partially known (gray box), or known (white box) methods. Each asset undergoes a comprehensive attack, and the results are evaluated and prioritized. Find out more about Elevate's Penetration Testing services here.
Once your organization is deemed compliant by the PCI Security Standards Council, our team will provide ongoing support and subject- matter expertise to ensure that new policies, procedures, and applications meet compliance requirements and changes to the standards and/or application of changes of your environment to the regulatory requirements.


It feels good to be back! Although, I didn't take much time to ease into things…I just jumped right in. Busy busy as always! Thank you to everyone for all their patience while I was on maternity leave. I love what I do, and capturing little moments like these, during Nora's session, make my job oh so worth it!
Here are some of my faves from her session! Enjoy!


Born on 22 April, 1870, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Lenin, was not only a key figure in the overthrow of Tsarist rule in Russia by Communist forces, but a firm believer in telecoms as a tool of revolution.
In 1920, Lenin famously described the wireless telegraphy technology of the day as "the news-sheet which abolishes paper and distance".
In fact, one reason the Communist Revolution was able to spread so quickly around the vastness of Russia in 1917 was that the country had eagerly seized on the new world of telecoms almost as soon as it had developed.
One of Russia's pioneers in wireless telegraphy was physicist Alexander Popov. On 7 May 1895, he demonstrated his invention, a lightning detector which employed an antenna to detect the radio noise of a lightning strike.
Today, it is widely hailed as the world's first radio wave receiver, and in Russia, 7 May is celebrated as Radio Day – even though it would be another year before Popov actually sent a message via his apparatus.
Meanwhile, telephone networks had begun to appear in major cities such as Russia and Petrograd (today's St Petersburg) in the 1880s, when early concessions were sold to America's Bell Telephone Company.
By 1917, on the eve of the Revolution, there were 232,000 registered telephone subscribers in Russia – though half were still in Moscow and Petrograd.
Around the same time, Alexander Graham Bell was playing a part in the spread of telephony in Britain. The Post Office provided its first telephones – obtained from Bell's UK agent – on rental terms to a firm in Manchester.
On 14 January 1878, Bell himself demonstrated the telephone to Queen Victoria at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight with calls to London, Cowes and Southampton (the first long-distance calls in the UK).
The Telephone Company Ltd was formed the same year to market Bell's telephones in Great Britain – decades later it merged with a number of other companies to become BT.
Russia's revolutionaries realised from the start how important control of telecoms was in helping their cause. After their first failed attempt at revolution in February 1917, for example, the Bolsheviks infiltrated as many telegraph offices as possible, so that when the October Revolution came they were able to seize these vital tools of national communications for their own ends.
Trotsky, for example, famously broadcast news of the successful storming of the Winter Palace before it had actually happened.
Russia's 1917 uprisings worried the world of British telecoms – a pamphlet issued by the Postal and Telegraph Clerks' Association on 19 April 1917 even carried the title The Contagion of Revolution.
It fretted about how the spark of revolution might spread to telephonists at the General Post Office – forerunner of BT – because of poor working conditions.
Whereas his predecessors had seen telecoms as a powerful method of spreading information to their benefit, the Soviet Union's deeply paranoid dictator of the 1930s and 1940s was doubtless aware that the telephone could also be used by those who opposed him to spread their message.
Stalin was as keen as Lenin to control telecoms, and under his rule access to telephones was mainly only available to controlled city elites, leaving rural Russia to rely on the old ways of the post.

Biafra: Boko Haram Over-runs 3 Villages Near Chibok, Hoists Flag
at 12:25:00 Biafra, Nigeria, Top News, World News,
Boko Haram has hoisted its flag in three villages in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, after over-running them on Monday, a BBC report said, quoting an unnamed security source.
The report quoted the security source and residents as saying that the militants slaughtered at least eight people, including a village elder, during the attack.
According to the report, "The villages – Kubirivour, Boftari and Kuburmbalah – are near Chibok town, from where the militants captured more than 200 schoolgirls in 2014.
"Others sources said the militants were still in control of Malam Fatori town, on the Nigeria-Niger border.
"Last Sunday, Nigerian troops recaptured the town from the jihadists. However, the militants reinforced their ranks and regained control of the town."
In another report, also today, BBC quoted Air Marshall Sadiq Baba Abubakar, the head of the Nigerian air force, as saying that he faces major challenges in defeating a seven-year Islamist insurgency in the country.
He repprtedly told the BBC's Hausa service that the sheer size of the Sambisa forest, where many Boko Haram militants are said to be hiding, made it impossible for the air force to locate them.
"He said it also made it difficult to find more than 200 girls abducted in April 2014 from Chibok town in the north-east," the report said, adding:
"Lack of proper equipment was also a problem, but daily air patrols were carried out to find the girls.
"The Nigerian military has come under criticism for its inability to locate and rescue the Chibok girls.

Capital Economics announces CBRT interest rate policy forecast for the first quarter of 2022 By Foreks
Explore Angola: The tourism industry seeks to turn Covid-19 into 'advantage'
The losing effect of the Covid-19 pandemic around the world has been a source of great hope for those who want to travel for business or vacation. Especially in countries such as Angola in Africa, the measures implemented jointly by the tourism sector actors after Covid-19 have managed to minimize the dangers to health. Hotels in Angola have set goals as "maximum health safety and hospitality".
It is possible to see how Angola hosts its guests in the best way at The Mangais Golf Resort Hotel, which is built in a nature like the capital Luanda.
"We also have a haram for horse riding, fields for football and rugby. Besides the hotel, the restaurant also has a unique view. The Kwanza River is very beautiful," says Catarina de Castro, director of Maingais, who has the only golf course on his property.
All over the world, hotels are going through a tough test due to the pandemic. This resulted in hotels, in particular, to implement very strict health protocols. In this way, the hotel was able to continue not to close its doors and to serve its customers.
Nelson Martins, staying at the hotel, states that another "advantage" of the hotel is the playgrounds and areas for children. "They are in a green field. I love being in touch with nature".
Angola's luxury service industry is still in its infancy. But thanks to countries such as Kenya, South Africa and Botswana, huge goals have been set for the future.
Kenyan Ambassador Josphat K. Maikara states that Mangais is "one of the best places to visit" in Luanda. LTINI pointed out that tourism will grow rapidly if such facilities are developed in the country, and states that Kenya is "ready" to engage in joint ventures and provide support.
In Luanda, the luxury Epic is a project that guides you along the way. It attracts the attention of customers from the business sector, which continues to come mostly during the pandemic period. Visitors feel safe thanks to the hotel's health protocol that puts health above all else.
Catarina De Pina Joana, Marketing Manager of Epic Sana Hotel, underlines that they have given their employees rigorous training on Covid-19 rules and that this has greatly benefited them.
Underlining that the hotel staying due to Covid should inspire trust in the customer, Tunde Laniyan, business person, says that Epic Sana is "very good" in this regard.
The new Intercontinental Hotel in the capital is also a sign that important steps are being taken for the growth of the tourism sector in the country. The hotel, which will start accepting reservations from September, has received its architecture from diamond and is the first five-star hotel in the country.

The government has slammed broadcasters Radio Free Asia and Voice of America as "political instruments serving the interests of the opposition party" and accused them of fabricating news in a speech delivered by Deputy Prime Minister Sok An on Tuesday.
The US-government-funded broadcasters have been taken to task before by the government for their critical views, but the latest statements, released in full by the Council of Ministers' Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PQRU), are directly linked to their election coverage.
Both VOA and RFA repudiated charges of bias or fabrication in statements last night.
"The Voice of America strongly rejects any suggestion that it fabricates or manipulates its news broadcasts or shows favor toward any political party. VOA reporting is required by our legally mandated charter and our journalistic principles to be 'accurate, objective and comprehensive'," one statement reads.
RFA added that the PQRU's statement was intended to have a chilling effect on the media.
"This unfortunate statement from The Cambodian Council of Ministers Press and Quick Reaction Unit is only the latest in a series of actions intended to intimidate free, independent media and journalism in Cambodia," the broadcaster said.
The ERA report criticised the broadcast media environment as being biased towards the ruling party, an allegation that the PQRU rejected, citing not just RFA and VOA, but the use of social media networks by the CNRP to "disseminate false and manipulated information to cause sabotage and unrest in the society".
The statement also fingers The Phnom Penh Post and The Cambodia Daily as having "mostly published negative views discrediting the Royal Government and the CPP".
Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan yesterday singled out RFA as having a mission to "abuse sovereignty", but said there would be no efforts to gag the broadcaster.
In October 2012, both VOA and RFA were summoned to the Council of Ministers for a secretive meeting that RFA later called a "blatant attempt to discourage objective reporting on the government".

Q: Can I access the entries of the ApplicationCache manifest from a JavaScript method? I'm working with Serviceworkers and ApplicationCache and was wondering: Can I access the ApplicationCache contents from another script?
For example I was thinking of creating a fallback manifest in case a browser did not support serviceWorker for offline caching and thought it would be nice if I could just pick the entries on the manifest for caching in the serviceworker instead of maintaining a duplicate list.
I did not find any info online on whether it was possible and console-ing around with the ApplicationCache object does not give me its contents either.
Thanks for some inputs.

What the what?!?! Another fabulous sewalong in August??? Dare I do this? Could I possibly accomplish two dresses (plus my dress for Gertie's class) in one month?!?! What do you think? Anyone else doing this?
I'm going to sit this one out. I'll be on vacation the second half of August (yay second honeymoon!), so my sewing time is really limited that month. But, I say go for it. It can't hurt for you to try, right?! My guess is that the Lonsdale is going to be fun and straightforward, so you might be able to juggle them all… And, worst case, you end up with three dresses come September.
Ginger, I say yes and yes! I am doing it too! It seems crazy, doesn´t it? But I think we can do it!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! That was what I did when I opened my reader this morning after a long weekend away from technology and saw Colette's announcement. I screamed because the Roiboos has been on my "to do" list for a year but how, how, how will I manage two sew-alongs at once, how? I don't want to drive myself crazy, and as I get older I also get wiser (or so I think) and this much I've learned: impossible deadlines drive me crazy, so I'll have to choose between the two, but how to chose? If you go for both sew-alongs (plus your Gertie dress), you're my hero!
I don't know what to do! The Rooibos dress was the first pattern I really got excited about when I first started investigating sewing, and it's much more my style than the Lonsdale, but I already have the Lonsdale pattern… but I'm just not too jazzed about using the fabric I bought for the Lonsdale, although I still really wanna make the dress. Dilemma! What are you going to do?
I'd love to participate, but I already have so many projects on my list, it would be crazy to do so, since I know there is no way I'll get everything done.
Good luck with all the sew-alongs, though!
Thanks, lady! Looking forward to seeing your next project, whatever it may be! I hope you find time in your busy schedule to work on stuff (and relax, too)!

Conference Proceedings & Short Papers
Entcheva Lab | Cardiac Optogenetics & Optical Imaging Research
The Entcheva Laboratory, the Cardiac Optogenetics and Optical Imaging Lab, is part of the Biomedical Engineering Department at The George Washington University, in downtown Washington, DC. In 2016 we relocated from Stony Brook University after 15 years. Our lab conducts highly interdisciplinary work developing and applying optical technologies to tackle bioelectricity problems. Specifically, we work on biophysical aspects and technological innovations for a new highly-parallel framework for all-optical cardiac electrophysiology in vitro and in vivo. Guided by our own theoretical/computational work in the area of bioelectricity, we experimentally integrate, test and validate new optical and optogenetic modalities for actuation (stimulation) and sensing (optical mapping) of the electromechanical function in cardiac cells and tissues. This includes pioneering work in cardiac optogenetics – the use of light for the precise interrogation and control of cells and tissues with genetically-inscribed light sensitivity, ex vivo or in their native setting. Our tools are particularly useful for mechanistic dissection of cardiac cell excitation, cell-cell communication and spatiotemporal phenomena like cardiac arrhythmias, in response to pharmacological, genetic or other manipulations. We developed and validated a fully-automated high-throughput platform for all-optical electrophysiology and mechanics, termed OptoDyCE, suitable for characterization of stem-cell derived induced pluripotent cardiomyocytes (iPS-CMs), engineered cardiac tissues as well as small native tissue samples. This technology has direct translational potential for the fields of drug screening and personalized medicine. For fundamental understanding and control of arrhythmias, we pursue conceptually new "wave steering" applications of optogenetics. Our research is funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Foundation and other agencies.

As school districts face the challenge of returning during a pandemic, more and more students from around Oklahoma are opting for an online option from a proven, award-winning school.
The Oklahoma Information and Technology School is a tuition-free statewide virtual charter school approved this summer by the Oklahoma Virtual Charter School Board. The school is coordinated by Dove Schools, a nationally-recognized school system that has been operating in Oklahoma for 20 years.
Enrollment applications at OITS are still being accepted.
OITS is open to sixth- and seventh-grade students anywhere in Oklahoma. The school will add one grade per year, allowing students to continue their education at OITS through high school graduation.
Assistant Principal Kelly Fleming said the timing for the launch is fortuitous.
"This has been in the works for more than a year now," she said. "When we started planning, obviously we didn't realize how important online learning would become. Now we see that it's not only a necessary option – sometimes, it's critical."
An added bonus is that OITS is operated by a school with one of the state's best academic track records. Dove Schools regularly achieve 100% college acceptance rate among seniors, and has been named a National Blue-Ribbon Award recipient and a National School of Character. It has performed well on state evaluations while serving mostly low-income students.
Dove opened its first school in 2000. It now operates seven campuses with approximately 3,000 students in pre-K through 12th grade in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. There is a waiting list at each Dove school. The addition of an online option has been a gift for many of these families, especially during coronavirus.
While the emphasis is on computer science and STEM – science, technology, engineering, and math – the new OITS also highlights social emotional learning, such as self-awareness, self-control and healthy relationships, as well as character and community service. Pacing is flexible to allow students to progress at their own pace, but instructors are readily available to help support all students.
The school also includes extracurricular activities, such as field trips, school events and clubs.
"In the past, many students have not been able to afford an option like this," Fleming said. "Now, with a tuition-free option, anybody can enroll for a rigorous academic experience, which paves the way for workforce and college preparation. The fact that's it's online, especially now, is an added bonus."
Fleming and other staff members are available to answer any questions. For more information, please call (405) 605-0201 or visit www.oitsok.org

L'actitud o atitud és l'estat de disposició corporal, nerviosa i mental d'un individu o d'un grup que exerceix un influx dinàmic o orientador sobre les respostes a les situacions en què es troba i els objectes i subjectes amb què es relaciona. Per a alguns té a veure amb l'experiència prèvia. Representa la intenció i el fet de "voler", front a l'acció, que seria el fet de "fer".

Funcions de l'actitud
Adoptar una actitud o una altra es fa segons si es considera avantatjosa per a complir una d'aquestes funcions psicològiques, tal com resumeix Daniel Katz:
utilitarista: se segueixen les actituds que aporten recompenses i s'eviten les que causen dolor, càstig o desaprovació
adquisició del coneixement: es fomenten les actituds que permeten adquirir informació que permeti reaccionar davant estímuls nous
defensa del jo: es tendeixen a mantenir aquelles actituds que contribueixen a l'homeostasi o que activen mecanismes de defensa
expressiva: se segueixen més les actituds en consonància amb els valors personals

Actitud i societat
Es pot considerar l'actitud com a certa forma de motivació social -de caràcter, per tant, secundari, front la motivació biològica, de caràcter primari- que impulsa i orienta l'acció cap a determinats objectius. Es pot analitzar segons el denominat patró ABC (per les sigles en anglès d'affect, behaviour i cognition), identificant l'emoció subjacent, la conducta que es manifesta i els pensaments associats.

S'ha provat de mesurar l'actitud de determinades persones o grups cap a qüestions socialment pertinents per a provar d'objectivar l'opinió sobre aquell afer. Per a fer-ho s'acostumen a usar escales indicant acord o desacord o sentiments polaritzats que indiquen actituds favorables o desfavorables. La primera escala d'aquest estil que va sorgir va ser la creada per Louis Leon Thurstone.

Now, discover the proper material from our enormous assortment of lovely house decorating and fabric fabrics. So glad to come upon it. Discovered the identical wooden body helps at my native artwork supply retailer in New Haven after which headed over to Ikea for some fun fabrics. After I obtained some ideas for what I wanted, I measured my space and hit the fabric store. I'm unsure… you could flick thru the online shops within the material shops part on the bottom of the sidebar on the suitable.
This trim is used between seams to offer an ornamental touch or to add the length or width of garment. To save money, store discount material shops and look for sale, close out and discontinued materials. It's also possible to purchase shorter scarf" sections and cover the joined sections with matching cloth rosettes. Be sure you do this prior to reducing the fabric so if it does shrink you'll not wind up with lengths which might be too short.
For some pieces that was overkill but having just a little additional fabric is not a foul thing – particularly when you will end up cutting each piece to suit as you begin stapling every thing on anyway. Polyester blends well with different fabrics and can be engineered to be related in look and really feel to silk, wool, and linen. Should you nonetheless do not feel comfy selecting, measuring for or buying cloth for dwelling décor initiatives, hire knowledgeable to assist with the selection process and hire a workroom or upholsterer to manufacture the designs.
In the event you remove the old material, you should utilize it as a sample for slicing out your new material. Thanks for the how-to…I simply did a Google search for putting cloth on a wooden frame and your blog was one of the outcomes. Hello Elham, I did a google search and came up with this: For on a regular basis kids's wear, cotton and polyester attire materials are comfortable, protected, and straightforward to clean.
HIGH POINT — Lengthy a leather-based resource, W. Schillig will introduce Ultrasuede as a brand new cover option for the corporate's modern upholstery at subsequent month's Excessive Level Market. All IKEA sort furnishings has a dumpster in its future, often within 5-10 years. I have helped arrange thrift shops across this country for individuals and organizations from all walks of life. As my boyfriend and I ready to go away Pittsburgh for St. Louis, we had initially planed to do possibility #1 again-ship every part-but regardless of getting all our furnishings on Craig's Record, we came across a pair pieces we decided were worth preserving.
For mattresses, we found a small shop that is really a distributor to a lot of the small furnishings stores. Here is another subject that local expats don't seem capable of agree on. Many really feel that you should not carry furnishings whenever you transfer here from abroad after which, when you get here, purchase whatever you need in Cuenca. It's possible you'll feel safer dealing straight along with your native furnishings retailer than a faceless finance firm, but remember the fact that the interest rate you can be paying for the comfort of financing will definitely be no decrease than that charged by a finance company.
All of their furniture is manufactured in China and Vietnam then issues resembling stain, foam, fabric, paint, and assemblies are add to the unfinished furniture sent to them from overseas and they are allowed to say made in America. The individuals who convey objects to thrift stores don't essentially need any cash in return, however relatively a receipt to make use of for a tax write-off.

Park Service Sticks With Biblical Explanation For Grand Canyon
Promised Legal Review on Creationist Book Is Shelved
Following is a Press Release from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) dated 13 October 2004. We have previously addressed aspects of this issue in Meditations 67 & 197.
Washington, DC - The Bush Administration has decided that it will stand by its approval for a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah's flood rather than by geologic forces, according to internal documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).
Despite telling members of Congress and the public that the legality and appropriateness of the National Park Service offering a creationist book for sale at Grand Canyon museums and bookstores was "under review at the national level by several offices," no such review took place, according to materials obtained by PEER under the Freedom of Information Act. Instead, the real agency position was expressed by NPS spokesperson Elaine Sevy as quoted in the Baptist Press News:
"Now that the book has become quite popular, we don't want to remove it."
In August of 2003, Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent Joe Alston attempted to block the sale of Grand Canyon : A Different View, by Tom Vail, a book explaining how the park's central feature developed on a biblical rather than an evolutionary time scale. NPS Headquarters, however, intervened and overruled Alston. To quiet the resulting furor, NPS Chief of Communications David Barna told reporters that there would be a high-level policy review, distributing talking points stating: "We hope to have a final decision in February [2004]." In fact, the promised review never occurred –
In late February, Barna crafted a draft letter to concerned members of Congress stating: "We hope to have a final decision on the book in March 2004." That draft was rewritten in June and finally sent out to Congressional representatives with no completion date for the review at all;
NPS Headquarters did not respond to a January 25th memo from its own top geologists charging that sale of the book violated agency policies and undercut its scientific education programs;
The Park Service ignored a letter of protest signed by the presidents of seven scientific societies on December 16, 2003.
"Promoting creationism in our national parks is just as wrong as promoting it in our public schools," stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, "If the Bush Administration is using public resources for pandering to Christian fundamentalists, it should at least have the decency to tell the truth about it."
The creationist book is not the only religious controversy at Grand Canyon National Park . One week prior to the approved sale of Grand Canyon : A Different View, NPS Deputy Director Donald Murphy ordered that bronze plaques bearing Psalm verses be returned and reinstalled at canyon overlooks. Superintendent Alston had removed the bronze plaques on legal advice from Interior Department solicitors. Murphy also wrote a letter of apology to the plaques' sponsors, the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary. PEER has collected other instances of what it calls the Bush Administration's "Faith-Based Parks" agenda.

It is not too much of a stretch to view all of history as a desperate attempt to change what has happened in the past. Both in war and in peace, the essential goal of all of humanity has essentially remained the same: to correct past wrongs; to gain what is rightfully one's own; to ensure that one's offspring will never have to endure the hardships endured by preceding generations– in essence, to ensure that justice prevails. Therefore, if the human race didn't have, by and large, a warped and self-centered sense of justice, we would live in a paradise.
But justice is a hard thing to comprehend in the midst of fear, poverty, and ignorance– and no one has ever rid themselves completely of all three afflictions. Everyone, whether consciously or subconsciously, cannot accept the fact that it is their lot to live and die in ultimate anonymity and meaninglessness. And so, in a situation in which this is the undeniable reality, a scapegoat must be found: the mistakes of the past must be corrected, and the rightful champions– the I, the all-important self– must be known and respected.
And thus history repeats itself. Each generation brings with it a new crop of heroes who come to the forefront in order to provide for themselves, and each following generation comes along to destroy those heroes of the previous generation. It's a maddeningly predictable cycle of existence, repeated with only minor variations throughout the whole course of human existence, across cultures, races, and millenia.
There is, of course, no better example of a sense of justice gone horribly wrong as that of the German people before, during, and even after the Holocaust. It is against this backdrop that the film Phoenix— the newest from director Christian Petzold–is set. The plot centers around a half-Jewish German woman named Nelly Lenz, who is played impeccably by Nina Hoss. Nelly has survived the Holocaust, but at a terrible price: her face has been disfigured to such a degree that she requires a reconstructive surgery that will render her unrecognizable to even her closest friends. Upon her return to Berlin, she is urged by Lene, a Jewish friend who is working with the government to resettle displaced Holocaust survivors, to abandon Germany and her previous life and instead move to Israel. The symbolic import is clear: Nelly can never hope to find the peace in Germany that she once enjoyed; she can never again be simply herself.
Nelly, however, cannot bring herself to give up on her old life so easily. She instructs the surgeon to attempt to reconstruct her face to look exactly as it did before, despite the doctor's repeated assertion that she would only feel frustrated by the inaccuracy of even his best work. She seeks out and binds herself to her old husband Johnny, despite Lene's insistence that he was the one who informed on her and despite the fact that Johnny does not recognize her. Put simply, she's searching for a past that probably never existed and that certainly can never be reconstructed.
What follows after this is pure torture to the viewer: we see Nelly, time and time again, attempting to remind both herself and Johnny of their past life together. And we see Johnny continuing to use Nelly without a hint of shame: thinking she is a new woman who simply looks somewhat like Nelly, Johnny gets her to "impersonate" herself in order for him to gain the money Nelly has inherited from her many deceased relatives. Out of nostalgia and a desperation to forgive, Nelly plays along. By the time Petzold brings the viewer to the perfectly rendered and infinitely moving finale, everyone surrounding Nelly appears to be profoundly guilty– and, in an absolute triumph of subtle expression on the part of the actors playing Johnny and Nelly's assorted old friends, one gets the sense that they are finally beginning to realize this fact.
It is this essential guilt that lends the film its moral thrust. It is infuriating to watch the self-satisfaction of Nelly's friends, who seem to reason that they could have done nothing for her during the war and surely deserve moral credit for being near her when she returns from Auschwitz. It is all the more infuriating to recognize how completely unrepentant Johnny remains throughout the movie. Even he, who gave Nelly up to the SS, finds others to blame: he had been backed into a corner and incarcerated until forced to give her up, and he is only trying to obtain her money now because there's nothing better to be done with it.
And if this is what gives the film its moral thrust, the inability of Nelly to recognize the guilt in those around her gives the film its absolutely heartbreaking emotional impact. In one particularly memorable scene, Nelly sits behind Johnny on a motorcycle, talking to him about all the reasons why it might have been okay that he gave Nelly up to the SS. Even Nelly, who has been wronged literally to the point that she is unrecognizable, cannot bring herself to accuse anyone of moral culpability for the majority of the film. Lene, the one person who has a clear view of justice in the film, is tragically powerless to convince anyone of anything. Therefore, when the ending finally comes and everyone begins to recognize the horrors of their own actions and inactions, the result is satisfying to the extreme.
Surveying the state of modern Germany, the timeliness and value of such an ending cannot be understated: it is the ultimate guilt that lies at the core of modern German identity that has been so instrumental in turning it into the relatively benevolent superpower that it is today. From West Germany reabsorbing East Germany despite massive economic costs to the current acceptance of huge numbers of Syrian refugees to its continued commitment to the EU to its leadership on the issue of clean energy, German actions on a geopolitical level still reflect the fear of repeating the past and hurting the disadvantaged around the world. And, unlike other nations, such as the USA, who seem to view much of the past mostly as a series of wrongs committed against a completely innocent motherland, the Germans view the past as a series of wrongs committed by the motherland against others. To modify a phrase of Tarkovsky's, modern German history can essentially be defined as a balancing act between moral torment and the promise of ultimate forgiveness.
But this viewpoint is beginning to fade: as those who lived through the horror that was Germany in the Weimar, World War II and post-war periods– such as each of my own grandparents did– begin to die off, they are being replaced by a younger generation that has lived its whole life in a privileged, humane, and efficient society. Ironically, this new generation, which has never seen the horror that comes with a misplaced sense of justice, is much more xenophobic and anti-EU than older generations: they feel, once again, that they are the ones that are being wronged, and that the German people don't need to be held back by an otherwise struggling Europe, much less by a Middle East in seemingly constant turmoil. They have no sense that their nation must repay a debt to the world by accepting refugees or providing humanitarian aid. For this reason, Petzold's film needs to be seen, not only by young Germans who are forgetting their nation's moral failings but by the citizens of every other nation on earth, most of whom have never recognized their wrongdoing in the first place. Guilt is a necessary emotion that leads to a positive change; it is the one emotion that can lead people away from the absolute selfishness that rules most of human existence. Guilt has been the key to the humanity of the modern German state, and it is an emotion that should be felt by every other global power.
