At Least 9 Dead, Dozens More Injured After Truck Plows into Berlin Christmas Market

A truck plowed into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin Monday night, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens of others in what witnesses described as a deliberate attack.
The large Scania truck with a Poland license plate crashed into the market outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Television footage showed the truck with its windshield smashed out on the sidewalk alongside the market, with a swarm of ambulances nearby. A large Christmas tree with a gold star on top was toppled over nearby in the street, and tree branches were crushed under the truck's tires.
Police said a suspect believed to be the driver was arrested nearby and a passenger was dead. Authorities estimated that 50 people were injured, but an exact number was not immediately available.
Police said they are still investigating whether the crash was an accident or an attack, but the incident had a chilling echo of the July 14 truck attack in Nice, France that killed 86 people.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the Nice attack, which was carried out by a Tunisian living in France. ISIS and Al Qaeda have both called on followers to use trucks in particular to attack public places.
Die Welt newspaper reported that a Polish TV station had interviewed a man named Ariel Zurawski, who said that his cousin was assigned to drive the truck involved in the incident. Zurawski claimed he had last spoken to his cousin at noon Monday and said he suspected the truck had been hijacked. He added that the truck had been loaded with steel structures weighing 25 tons.

Carlos Eire: Requiem for a Despot

Slavery is what Fidel's revolution was about. Brooking no dissent, he enslaved a nation in the name of eternal class warfare, creating a new elite dedicated to suppressing their neighbors' rights.
Carlos Eire writes: Dead at last, dead at last. Fidel Castro has shuffled off this mortal coil, at the age of ninety. Unfortunately, his death comes a bit too late—about sixty years too late. Millions of his people had been awaiting this moment for well over half a century. And as we Cubans rejoice, we weep. Our losses over the past six decades have been far too great, and so our glee is far from unbridled.
"Fidel justified his repressive policies by insisting that the Cuban people were incapable of achieving social justice by any other means."
Slavery is what Fidel's revolution was about. Brooking no dissent, he enslaved a nation in the name of eternal class warfare, creating a new elite dedicated to suppressing their neighbors' rights. He pitted Cubans against one another, replacing all civil discourse with invective and intimidation.
"Likewise, many of Fidel's First-World admirers view Cubans as postmodern equivalents of Rousseau's noble savage—as primitives who are uncorrupted by civilization and incapable of comprehending Enlightenment notions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—or perhaps as swarthier versions of Mussolini's unruly Italians, that is, hot-blooded Latin rustics in need of a strong leader who can make their trains run on time."
Fidel boasted that he was loved by the Cuban people and spoke for us, that he was our very embodiment. But these were some of the boldest of his many big lies. The Cuban people he spoke for were but a monstrous abstraction, a figment that he projected onto the world stage. Flesh-and-blood Cubans had to be forced to attend his interminable speeches, or, as now, his funeral.
"Fidel portrayed those who fled his dystopia as selfish troglodytes. These nonconformists were vilified not just by Fidel but by all those around the world who believed his lies, including many eminent intellectuals, artists, and journalists in free, affluent nations."
Dissenters were demonized. If you objected to his self-anointing as Maximum Leader or disdained his dystopian vision, two painful choices were open to you. Just two.
You could oppose him. But if you dared, even by murmuring in the dark, you faced imprisonment, torture, or death. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans were brave enough to suffer these consequences, but the world beyond the island's shores ignored them, even denied their existence.
"Why does the First World display so little indignation over Fidel's labor camps and prisons, his torture chambers, and the summary executions with which he purchased his shamefully inadequate healthcare and indoctrination programs?"
The other option was to beg for the privilege of banishment. Nearly two million Cubans chose that route, but millions more never got the chance. No one knows how many have died trying to escape by sea without his magnanimous permission.
"Why do so many well-heeled tourists flock to the ruin Cuba has become? Why are so few of them offended by Cuba's endemic racism, or the apartheid laws that deny ordinary Cubans access to the finest beaches and hotels in their own homeland?"
Fidel portrayed those who fled his dystopia as selfish troglodytes. These nonconformists were vilified not just by Fidel but by all those around the world who believed his lies, including many eminent intellectuals, artists, and journalists in free, affluent nations. Lately, the tyrant even seemed to gain approval from His Holiness, Pope Francis, who paid him a very cordial visit.

For the millions of Cubans who remained in Fidel's kingdom, the losses were even more profound. As they waved tiny Cuban flags at mass rallies and waited in line for necessities with their ration books in hand, as they listened to Fidel's promises of a very distant glorious future, these Cubans watched others leave by the hundreds of thousands. When nearly two million refugees flee from a small island nation, everyone who remains is touched by loss. The exodus is all the more galling when those who have fled prosper in exile and those who remain become ever more destitute. Read the rest of this entry »

The brutal beheadings of Japanese nationals Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa by the Islamic State in January have shocked the island nation and lent momentum to an effort to expand the limitations imposed on its constitution and military after its defeat by the United States in World War II.
Leftists in Japan fear that the incident will encourage a departure from the country's pacifist constitution, whose Article 9 states that "the Japanese people forever renounce… the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." Right-wingers, meanwhile, see an opportunity to allow Japan to assert itself as a truly sovereign state.
VICE News reports from Japan as its prime minister and right wing are pushing for re-militarization of the pacifist nation, amid protests from the left who staunchly oppose any changes to Article 9 of the constitution.

French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo will release its first issue Wednesday since last week's attack left eight journalists dead at its Paris office, but only a few hundred copies of the first printing are set to reach the United States over the next few days.
The issue, which was created entirely by its surviving staffers using workspace and equipment provided by others, is set for an initial printing of 1 million copies, well above its typical 60,000. If demand is high enough, there is an option to print 2 million more. It will be available at newsstands across France but for those outside the country who want to pick one up, it's a bit trickier.
LMPI, a distributor of foreign magazines and newspapers in the U.S. and Canada, told TIME that Charlie Hebdo has been unavailable in the U.S. since 2010 due to low sales. But it will resume delivery…

Benghazi and the Lethal Price of Arming Jihadists
Posted: October 29, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Breaking News, War Room | Tags: al Qaeda, Barack Obama, Benghazi, Egypt, Libya, Middle East, Terror | 1 Comment
From Front Page Magazine
Over the weekend, the newest, and by far the most disturbing, revelations surrounding the Benghazi attack were revealed. Several sources have pointed to the possibility that a major CIA gun-running operation aimed at arming anti-Assad Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces was in danger of being exposed. If true, the information casts an even more devastating pall over the Benghazi terrorist attack and the administration's botched handling of the region.
The decision to stand down as the Benghazi terrorist attack was underway was met with extreme opposition from the inside. The Washington Times's James Robbins, citing a source inside the military, reveals that General Carter Ham, commander of U.S. Africa Command, who got the same emails requesting help received by the White House, put a rapid response team together and notified the Pentagon it was ready to go. He was ordered to stay put. "His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow," writes Robbins. "Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command."
If true, Ham has apparently decided he wants no part of the responsibility for the decision not to help those in harm's way. He is not alone. As the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol revealed late Friday, a spokesperson, "presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus," released the following statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."
Obama himself is stonewalling. During a Friday interview in Denver, the president revealed he was determined to postpone any revelation about Benghazi until after the election. "The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened," said Obama in answer to questions about possible denials of aid, and whether it's fair that Americans will have to wait until after the election to find out the results of an investigation. On Saturday, Obama upped the ante, telling "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough that "if we find out there was a big breakdown and somebody didn't do their job, they'll be held accountable. Ultimately as Commander-in-Chief I am responsible and I don't shy away from that responsibility."
Several sources have come up with explosive answers accounting for the administration's reticence.
According to WND's Aaron Klein, "Egyptian security officials" revealed that Ambassador Christopher Stevens "played a central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria." Stevens was reportedly a key contact for Saudi Arabian officials, who wanted to recruit fighters from North Africa and Libya, and send them to Syria by way of Turkey. The recruits were ostensibly screened by U.S. security organizations, and anyone thought to have engaged in fighting against Americans, including those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, were not sent to engage Assad's regime.
Yet as Klein further notes, reality is far different. The rebels the administration armed to fight Gaddafi, as well as those we may have armed to fight Assad, do include al-Qaeda members, and fighters from other jihadist groups as well.

"We will be back in court today fighting for our unalienable first amendment rights under the law and pushing back against the encroaching blasphemy laws do not criticize Islam under the sharia. This is the key battle in the stealth jihad being waged across this country and all free nations."
D.C. Federal Court to Hear ADFI's Challenge to Transit Authority's Restriction on Anti-Jihad Advertisement Today, Robert Muise, Co-Founder and Senior Counsel of the American Freedom Law Center AFLC, will present oral argument in federal court in Washington, D.C. in AFLC's request for an injunction to halt the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority WMATA's censorship of a pro-Israel/anti-jihad bus advertisement. The hearing is before District Court Judge Rosemary M. Collyer, and it is scheduled to take place at 2:00 p.m. EDT in Courtroom 8 at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia located at 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W., in Washington, D.C. The hearing is open to the media and the general public. At issue in the lawsuit is the WMATA's decision to delay running a pro-Israel/anti-jihad advertisement on its Metro system until some "future date" due to alleged concerns about "the situations happening around the world," "world events," and the "security and safety" of its passengers. The WMATA's decision was based in response to the ongoing violence in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere in an alleged protest of free speech in the United States that is critical of Islam. As a result of the WMATA's censorship, AFLC filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the advertisements sponsors, the Freedom Defense Initiative FDI and its executive directors, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. The lawsuit challenges the WMATA's unconstitutional restriction on FDI's right to engage in protected speech in a public forum.

No, Obama Didn't Call Benghazi "Act of Terror" in Speech

"Actually, this is much more than an issue of semantics. Calling it a terrorist attack would have given Obama powers under the Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Terrorists AUMF to use military action, including drone warfare, against the perpetrators. If he were serious about "bring[ing] to justice the killers," which he vowed to do in the speech, then labeling this incident a terrorist attack if he believed that's what it was would have been critical. Instead, we now have the FBI sitting with its hands bound in Tripoli, unable to move forward with a serious investigation."

How to Win an Ideological War
Posted: September 29, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Reading Room, War Room | Tags: al Qaeda, Anti-Americanism, History, Israel, Libya, Terror, United States | Leave a comment
by Yuri Yarim-Agaev
On Nov. 9, 1938, thousands of German storm troopers, acting under direct orders, launched the Jewish pogrom known as Kristallnacht. The attacks left approximately 100 Jews dead and 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged. Hundreds of homes and synagogues were vandalized.
The mastermind of the pogrom, Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, explained it to the world as a "spontaneous" reaction to the murder of German diplomat by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old Jew. Goebbels said the pogrom showed the "healthy instincts" of the German people.
Some Jewish organizations, while strongly condemning German actions, expressed concern about the pogrom's alleged cause. The World Jewish Congress stated that it "deplored the fatal shooting of an official of the German Embassy by a young Polish Jew." These displays of contrition did not help. Kristallnacht was soon followed by the Holocaust, in which more than six million European Jews died.
What can we learn from that tragic history? First, atrocities on such a scale are rarely "spontaneous." They require preparation and organization. Equally important is the lesson that accepting enemy propaganda makes us look weak and shortsighted. Any appreciation of the pretexts for such atrocities makes their perpetrators bolder and more aggressive.
Unfortunately, these lessons have not been learned. America's ambassador to Libya is dead, U.S. embassies in Egypt and other Muslim countries are under siege, the American flag is being burned, and the Obama administration and media have blamed a video clip instead of denouncing the perpetrators.
"…accepting enemy propaganda makes us look weak and shortsighted…"
The lack of realism is stunning. "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," said President Barack Obama—not about the murder of Americans or the persecution of Christians and Jews in Muslim countries, but about an amateur film on YouTube. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the film is "disgusting and reprehensible." These sentiments were echoed by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., and a multitude of pundits.
Yet all evidence indicates that events of Sept. 11, 2012, were not a "spontaneous reaction" to the 14-minute trailer, but were pre-organized—not only in Benghazi but in Cairo as well. The film, "Innocence of Muslims," was available on YouTube for a long time without attracting any attention. Two days before the riots, the film was broadcast in Arabic on the Salafi Egyptian television channel Al-Nas. Several popular preachers on other conservative Islamic satellite channels called upon people to turn out Tuesday at the U.S. Embassy in Egypt. If this was not organization, what was it?
Still, America's leaders have effectively accepted that the main blame for the embassy attacks should be put on the producers of video clip, rather than on the organizers and participants of the violence. America's leaders did not stand up for freedom of speech. Instead, they practically apologized for the lack of censorship in the U.S….

Taliban Attack Results In Worst American Airpower Loss Since Vietnam
Posted: September 22, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: War Room | Tags: military, Taliban, Terror, Zombie Apocal | Leave a comment
To be clear, this attack and this massive loss of airpower happened last week. The reason this information might be news to you over a week later is due to our medias depraved indifference to reporting any truth that might hurt Barack Obamas reelection chances.
John Hudson at "The Atlantic" has the story but his angle is entirely wrong. He blames the lack of coverage of this disaster — or at least coverage with the proper perspective — on the fact that after ten years of war, Americans have become desensitized to these kinds of reports. But we all know thats utter hokum.
The Taliban attack on an air base in southern Afghanistan on Friday drew coverage for the way the insurgents cloaked themselves in U.S. army uniforms to gain a tactical advantage, but few have taken note of the historical proportions of the damage inflicted. John Gresham, at the Defense Media Network, has published a detailed account of the attack on Camp Bastion, in which two Marines were killed, six U.S. Marine Corps jet fighters were destroyed, and two more "significantly" damaged. Those facts were all carried in most reports, but if that just sounds like a typical damage report from a decade-long war, youre wrong. Gresham explains the devastating damage done to VMA-211, the name of the Marine Corps attack squadron that was most affected last week, noting that it is "arguably the worst day in [U.S. Marine Corps] aviation history since the Tet Offensive of 1968."
This has nothing to do with "desensitization" — if thats even a word. If the situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating to this point and to the point where were no longer able to protect our servicemen from our supposed Afghan allies during joint operations, I think the American people want to know this…

The Terrorists' Veto
Posted: September 21, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: War Room | Tags: Anti-Americanism, Global, History, Menu, Terror | Leave a comment
Using riots, mayhem, and murder to "protest" an asinine trailer for an anti-Mohammad video on the Internet, the Middle East's mobs, assassins, and hostile regimes have vetoed freedom of speech in the United States. Not only did America's overseas diplomatic officers and staff have to hunker down under siege for a week, individual citizens here at home have good reason to fear that if they criticize the wrong religion, the response could be catastrophic for themselves, for others, or both. Neither the First Amendment nor the United States government, it seems, can do much about it.
I've seen this sort of thing before in another context. In the wake of the Beirut Spring in 2005, when massive demonstrations forced the end of Syria's military occupation, Lebanon had decent provisions for freedom of speech—at least by regional standards and at least on paper. The country was theoretically free. But free speech was extra-legally and extra-judicially nullified by terrorists backed by a foreign police state. A wave of car bombs targeted journalists, activists, and officials critical of Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad. Everyone needed to watch what he said. Those who didn't might be killed.
This is the terrorist's veto. Now it's our turn. A week after region-wide riots started in Cairo, Hezbollah sent half a million supporters into the streets of Beirut's southern suburbs, ostensibly to protest the trailer for the now-infamous movie on YouTube. The mob screamed the same tired slogans we're accustomed to hearing—"Death to America" and "Death to Israel"—but Hezbollah's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah said something new. "The U.S. should understand that if it broadcasts the film in full it will face very dangerous repercussions around the world."
Hezbollah is technologically advanced and media-savvy. Nasrallah knows perfectly well that when an individual uploads a video to YouTube, it doesn't count as "the United States broadcasting a film." That's actually his point. He's not threatening the United States in the abstract. He's threatening you. If you insult Hassan Nasrallah's religion on the Internet, terrorists may come after you.
You're kidding yourself if you think he's bluffing or that this is just talk. He's not and it isn't. There are precedents…

Exclusive: Western report – Iran ships arms, personnel to Syria via Iraq
Posted: September 19, 2012 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Breaking News, War Room | Tags: Bashar al-Assad, Global, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Terror | Leave a comment
(Reuters) – Iran has been using civilian aircraft to fly military personnel and large quantities of weapons across Iraqi airspace to Syria to aid President Bashar al-Assad in his attempt to crush an 18-month uprising against his government, according to a Western intelligence report seen by Reuters.
Earlier this month, U.S. officials said they were questioning Iraq about Iranian flights in Iraqi airspace suspected of ferrying arms to Assad, a staunch Iranian ally. On Wednesday, U.S. Senator John Kerry threatened to review U.S. aid to Baghdad if it does not halt such overflights.
Iraq says it does not allow the passage of any weapons through its airspace. But the intelligence report obtained by Reuters says Iranian weapons have been flowing into Syria via Iraq in large quantities. Such transfers, the report says, are organized by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"This is part of a revised Iranian modus operandi that U.S. officials have only recently addressed publicly, following previous statements to the contrary," said the report, a copy of which was provided by a U.N. diplomatic source.
"It also flies in the face of declarations by Iraqi officials," it said. "Planes are flying from Iran to Syria via Iraq on an almost daily basis, carrying IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) personnel and tens of tons of weapons to arm the Syrian security forces and militias fighting against the rebels."…

Spontaneous as a Symphony

The Arab riots were planned in advance — but is that better than murdering over a video?
The Obama administration's omnibus answer to why the Middle East (and now much of the Muslim world) is in near-open rebellion against the United States: The video did it.
The follow-up question no one seems to be asking is: "What if the administration's explanation is true?"
White House press secretary Jay Carney insists the attacks in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere were a "response not to United States policy, and not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people," but were rather a spontaneous "response to a video, a film we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting."
On the Sunday shows, Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, reaffirmed the claim that this was all about a YouTube trailer.
What about the fact that many experts say the Benghazi attacks looked like a sophisticated, coordinated assault with rocket-propelled grenades? Meaningless. It was the video. Even the president of Libya said, "The idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous." Who cares? It was the video…

US diplomats in Beirut burning classified material
reducing classified holdings
(Yahoo News) Diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut have started to destroy classified material as a security precaution amid anti-American protests in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa.
A State Department status report obtained Monday by The Associated Press said the Beirut embassy had "reviewed its emergency procedures and is beginning to destroy classified holdings." It also said that local Lebanese employees were sent home early due to protests by the militant Shiite group Hezbollah over an anti-Muslim film produced in the U.S.
In Washington, a State Department official said there was no imminent threat to the heavily fortified Beirut embassy, which is about an hour away from where the nearest demonstration is planned.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss security procedures, said the decision to "reduce classified holdings" was routine and made by embassy staff.
Protesters have breached the walls or compounds of several U.S. diplomatic missions, including the consulate in Benghazi, Libya where the ambassador and three other Americans were killed, Cairo and Tunis since last Tuesday…
Spinning Terror, Again…

The Obama administration continued to claim Sunday that the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were not planned or coordinated but spontaneous responses to news of an anti-Islam video that happened to take place on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It's a highly dubious claim, challenged by top Libyan officials, eyewitness accounts, several U.S. officials with access to the intelligence on the attack, and, it must be said, by common sense.
ELIZABETH CROMWELL
But Obama officials are undeterred. As they have done on two previous occasions after attempted attacks on U.S. interests – the attempted bombing of an airplane over Detroit and failed bomb plot in Times Square – top Obama officials are stubbornly clinging to a narrative that is politically advantageous but increasingly hard to square with reality.
On Sunday, it fell to Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to make the administration's case.
"Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo," she said on This Week. "In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated…. We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons…. And then it evolved from there."
That's unlikely…

Ongoing geographical spread of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) seriously impacts tomato production throughout tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It has a broad geographical distribution and continues to spread to new regions in the Indian and Pacific Oceans including Australia, New Caledonia and Mauritius. We undertook a temporally-scaled, phylogeographic analysis of all publicly available, full genome sequences of TYLCV, together with 70 new genome sequences from Australia, Iran and Mauritius. This revealed that whereas epidemics in Australia and China likely originated through multiple independent viral introductions from the East-Asian region around Japan and Korea, the New Caledonian epidemic was seeded by a variant from the Western Mediterranean region and the Mauritian epidemic by a variant from the neighbouring island of Reunion. Finally, we show that inter-continental scale movements of TYLCV to East Asia have, at least temporarily, ceased, whereas long-distance movements to the Americas and Australia are probably still ongoing.

Keep A Child Alive hosted their 11th annual Black Ball. The event was hosted by Keep a Child Alive co-founder, Alicia Keys, and featured performances by NAS, David Byrne and Angel Haze. Sean Puffy Combs and Swizz Beatz joined the celebration as co-hosts for the night.
The Keep a Child Alive's (KCA) Black Ball, presented by the Jynwel Charitable Foundation and Parfums Givenchy, brought celebrity and philanthropy together to fulfill hopes, dreams and raise funds for children and families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Givenchy Artistic Director Riccardo Tisci was honored. Keys is currently the face of the fashion house's perfume.
Peter Twyman, CEO of Keep a Child Alive and Alicia Keys, Co-Founder of Keep a Child Alive were joined by Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Kanye West, Scott Disick, Joan Smalls, Gayle King, Clive Davis, LaLa Anthony, Selita Ebanks, Russell Simmons, Marina Abramović, Padma Lakshmi, Estelle, Andre Leon Talley, Jeanette Jenkins, Chris Cornell, Vicky Cornell, Mr. Brainwash, Richard Tong, Earthquake, Brooke Candy, Chaz Dean, Geena Rocero, Olivia Harrison, Steve Van Zandt, Maureen Van Zandt, Bethann Hardison, Youssef Marquis, Latham Thomas, Angela Simmons, Mari Malek, Amber Ridinger, Loree Rodkin, Duane McLaughlin, Alek Wek, and Po Johnson at the event.
We caught up with Alicia on the red carpet. Read what she had to say below:
Q: Can you reflect on this journey? You started Keep A Child Alive in 2003.
Alicia Keys: It has been such a journey. When I first went to Africa it just changed my life! And really what changed it was because I saw people just like me and my brothers, my sisters, my cousins, and like anybody we're all dealing with how to live in this world and I remember being really inspired by them, to know that they had to watch their parents pass away because they didn't have access to medicine that we do. It really just changed my perspective. I said, "If that was me, I hope somebody would be there for me, and talk for me, and raise awareness for me. Now, even tonight, it's really about the youth and how much we drive the forward motion of where this pandemic is going to go and how it's going to end. So I'm really proud of that, I'm proud of them. I'm proud of the journey, I'm proud of tonight and we're going to keep on keeping on.
Q: How has the being a mother help further shape your passion for this cause?
Alicia Keys: Definitely. Being a mother has definitely furthered my passion for Keep A Child Alive and for, you know, just really talking about issues in the world overall because I think we have to be conscious, we have to be aware, and we definitely have to figure out what we can do about it because we can and it's possible and a lot of times maybe we feel like we're not sure what we can do about it. But being a mother has given me tons of inspiration. My husband tells me, "You should go lie down. Take it easy." But I can't! Like I'm inspired and that's what it's about.
Q: You are so passionate about issues in Afria, what is your reaction to the Ebola epidemic?
Alicia Keys: In regards to Ebola, obviously it's devastating what's happening and it's something that totally has to be paid attention to and it's something that we as a global community, need to react to and continue reacting to. But I do think that some of the messaging that's getting out in America is confusing. It's obviously a serious issue, totally we have to pay attention to it – but I think it's making people think that the way that you would get it or contract it, it's kind of a little bit not quite a hundred percent accurate, so I think it's pumping fear into a lot of us. And I think we have to just be conscious about the truth of it, and obviously the imperativeness of paying attention to it, and hopefully encouraging our leaders to really make sure that we're putting money towards getting bodies over there to help the scenario, and doctors, and medical professionals, and even every day people who can really provide assistance, too. So it's definitely interesting, but to our point, it's something that needs to be paid attention to.
Q: Can you talk about your first date with Swizz?
Alicia Keys: Our first date was really awesome. You know my husband is an art lover and he is always introducing me to art and he has always taken me to the most coolest, interesting places. And on our first date he introduced me to an artist called Erté, which became and is now one of my favorite artists because of all the clothing he designed and how he's really focused on feminine beauty. And I remember, I'd have to tell you way longer what made that really funny, but it's always beautiful the way that he teaches me and the way we teach each other.
Q: Erté is sort of deco. Are you into interior design?
Alicia Keys: I'm not into art deco interior design, but I am into interior design. I guess any home you live in you're constantly designing it, I wonder if it's ever going to end, but doing that now and it's fun. We do it well together.
Q: Do you work with someone or do you just do it together?
Alicia Keys: We kind of do it together, we have a couple of people we might call on, but it's really he and I. It's super cool.
Q: What do you do on your birthday?
Alicia Keys: Oh we go crazy on our birthdays. Well he and I have an ongoing birthday competition. And we compete with each other to out do one another for the next birthday. I don't know how that started, it didn't even begin like this, I'm not sure. Like I threw him a "Coming To America" party this time and it was really awesome.
The night raised a total of $2.3 Million, that will go towards supporting children and families with HIV in African and India.

The 37th Annual Michigan Renaissance Festival Kicks Off This Weekend!
A fairy, a mermaid, and a knight walk into a tavern... No, that's not the beginning of a hilarious joke, that is something that happens on the regular at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, which begins THIS weekend.
According to MLive, every weekend at Ren Fest from now until October 4th will be jammed packed with plenty of food, drink, and entertainment. Entertainment, no doubt, that will be suited for each themed weekend. Every weekend during the festival has a different theme. For instance, Labor Day weekend has been dubbed "High Seas Adventure". You can go and enjoy a tattoo or beard competition, a "Perfect Pirate" contest, and beer tasting all at the same time! And that's just some of the activities going on that weekend.
If you want to plan a trip to this 16th Century village, make sure you get your tickets! Ticket prices range depending on when you purchase them and what type of ticket needs purchasing. You can get all that info HERE. You'll also want to check out the schedule of their weekend themes (unless, of course, you just plan to go to all of them!) to better decide which weekend sounds best! And don't be shy... costumes, while awesome, are not required. So don't feel like you have to go all "Knight-in-literal-armor" in order to attend.
Are you excited to go to this year's Michigan Renaissance Festival? I'm especially excited, because this year will be my first time attending! I know, I'm 25 years old and have never been, cut me a little slack. I do plan on making the most of my first there, though! I would love to rock a costume of some sort. If you are a regular Ren Fest attendee and have some advice to lend for costume making (keeping in mind that I'm not a skilled seamstress, and by "making" I mean more along the lines of "putting together"), let me know on Facebook or in the comments below!

The Post-Impeachment Landscape — Issues to Watch
Author: Greg Valliere
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL effectively begins today, amid new drama — fresh evidence on Ukrainian intrigue, and a looming fight over witnesses that probably won't be resolved for another week.
BY MID-FEBRUARY, Donald Trump probably will have his acquittal, with a national consensus taking hold: the trial was hardly fair, Trump acted inappropriately, but there wasn't a strong enough case to convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors. Then what?
TRUMP WILL MIS-CHARACTERIZE THE OUTCOME as a total vindication, that goes without saying. Then he will find new controversies; political brawling is his passion, so he will seek new headline-grabbers in the next few months. There will be no shortage of fresh issues:
Tax cuts: Worried that 2% GDP growth isn't enough to guarantee re-election, Trump will propose a new middle class tax cut, which will be rolled out by April 15. Tax cuts are like catnip in an election; all Trump has to do is propose one and he will have an issue to use against Democrats — they only like tax hikes, he will argue.
More spending: Some House conservatives are openly grumbling about the soaring budget deficit, but leaders in both parties don't care. So we expect Trump will launch a major push for infrastructure spending later this year, and he will call for massive new defense outlays. Democrats may go along, if they can win big new domestic spending hikes in exchange.
More trade threats: Just because Trump signed a modest trade deal with China yesterday doesn't mean the threat of protectionism has ended. He's still a "tariff guy." Lost amid the avalanche of news yesterday was a report in the Washington Post that Trump recently threatened European nations with a new 25% tariff on their autos if they don't pressure Iran to halt uranium enrichment. And a fight over European exports, including wine, still looms.
Renewed fighting over the wall and immigration: You can be certain that Trump will return to his go-to issue: illegal immigration. He will raid the military construction budget for $7.2 billion in new spending on the wall, which still faces
court challenges. Trump is itching for a fight on this issue; so is his base.
Climate change — the sleeper issue: You want controversy? Trump and Greta Thunberg will be in Davos next week, just after the release of an astonishing new climate report yesterday from NOAA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It documented the dramatic rise in man-made carbon emissions and the sharp increase in global temperatures. Trump mocks the concept of climate change — even though millions may vote largely on this issue alone in November.
Personnel changes: What better way to liven up the dog days of summer than manufacturing a fight over key personnel? Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo will stay, but we're not sure about Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Defense Secretary Mark Esper; the latter angered Trump last week by bungling the party line over Iran.
Global crises: Trump specializes in global brinkmanship, so we suspect the rhetoric over North Korea will heat up soon. Kim Jong-un is desperate to end sanctions, as are the Iranians, and both will stir the pot, seeking to provoke the U.S. Kim has to be careful: the U.S. knew where Gen. Qassem Soleimani was virtually all the time, and the U.S. knows where Kim lives.
The election: Trump campaign rallies will increase ahead of the impeachment acquittal, and his advisers are thrilled to see the nasty infighting — largely over gender — on the Democrats' left. But there's a new dynamic: Mike Bloomberg's willingness to spend well over $1 billion dollars; he already has a campaign staff that employs 1,000 people.
Trump will spend much of the spring mocking Bloomberg because he's short, but one senses that height will not be a sufficient rationale for re-election. If Trump gets Bloomberg instead of Joe Biden, he won't have much time for an impeachment victory lap this spring; money, after all, is no object for Bloomberg.

Фагд ібн Абдель Азіз Аль Сауд (; народився 1921, Ер-Ріяд, Неджд — 1 серпня 2005, Ер-Ріяд, Саудівська Аравія) — король Саудівської Аравії в 1982–2005 роках.

Біографія
Один із 37 синів засновника Саудівської Аравії Абделя Азіза ібн Сауда, представник клану Судайрі.

Успадковував трон після смерті свого звідного брата Халіда 13 червня 1982 року, в роки правління якого він, часто заміщав його, у зв'язку із слабким здоров'ям останнього.

27 жовтня 1986 року відмовився від титулу «Його Величність», прийнявши титул «Служитель двох святинь».

Після важкого інсульту 29 листопада 1995 року передав управління країною своєму звідному братові Абдаллі, який успадковував престол після смерті Фагда 1 серпня 2005 року. Король Фагд увійшов до історії тим, що ухвалив в 1992 році Головний Закон Королівства під назвою «Основний низам правління Саудівської Аравії».

Його син, принц Мохаммед, виконує обов'язки губернатором Східної провінції Саудівської Аравії.

Вшанування пам'яті
 На честь Фагда названий Міст короля Фагда, що зв'язує Саудівську Аравію і Бахрейн.
 На його честь також названа вулиця у Астані.

Primary school places crisis looms for county
Cambridgeshire is facing a shortfall of thousands of primary school places as pupil numbers are estimated to hit 53,977 by September 2018
Claire Miller
Tom Pilgrim
It has cost an average of £15,992 per new primary place created in Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire needs to find an extra 1,200 primary school places to meet local demand, government figures have revealed.
The region is expected to see a 25 per cent rise in primary school pupils between May 2010 and September 2018, to a projected total of 53,977, triggered by a baby boom in recent decades.
According to Department for Education data, an extra 8,474 places were created in schools in the area between 2010 and 2016, and a further 1,562 are planned.
This leaves a shortfall of 1,220 places that will need to be found to ensure all pupils have places for the 2018/19 school year.
Secondary pupil numbers in the county are also set increase to a projected 30,721 in 2018.
Pressure on school places comes as the government consults on introducing a 'fairer funding formula' for all schools in England.
The reforms would leave many Cambridgeshire schools with increased or unchanged funding levels, but around 75 could see their funding cut by an average of 1.5 percent.
The Government's reforms aim to combat historical regional disparities and introduce a formula that includes a basic per-pupil amount, and factors in pupil characteristics and school and area costs.
The News has been campaigning for a fair deal for our county's schools for several years
It has cost an average of £15,992 per new primary place created in Cambridgeshire, one of the most expensive averages in England, with an extra 6,265 places costing a total of £100.2 million.
New secondary school places created in the county cost an average of £22,150, with an extra 1,050 places costing a total of £23.3 million.
Out of all these new places 300 were created through permanent expansions at existing schools and 750 were at new schools.
How much funding could your child's school lose under government reforms?
Across England primary school numbers will rise by 7 per cent by September 2018, reaching a total of 4.6 million. Despite the creation of extra places there is still a projected 63,350 shortfall.
Secondary school student numbers could hit 2.9 million in September 2018, leading to a current estimated shortage of 32,200.
In England, a new primary place costs an average of £11,182 to create, while secondary school places cost of £15,713.
New places created so far are slightly more likely to be created in schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted.
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire County Council said its local children's services authority had a statutory duty to provide a school place for every child living in the area whose parents want them state educated.
'Should I have 45 kids in a class?': Cambridgeshire headteacher on the impact of Brexit and funding reforms on her school
She added: "To achieve this, the council has to keep the number of school places under review and to take the appropriate steps to manage the position where necessary.
"As a result of its ongoing review, the council is not only aware of, but has plans in place to meet the forecast demand for additional school places. This involves the expansion of existing schools and the commissioning of new schools.
"Currently, revenue support is provided to enable existing schools to accommodate more children and for the new schools it commissions as they fill to their planned capacities. Future funding arrangements are subject to the outcome of the national funding reforms for schools. "
The spokesperson said it was "too early" to say funding reforms would affect the council's statutory place planning responsibilities.


Nossa de Pernambuco is an example of how we accelerate new businesses inside big corporations, through a mix of diverse skills, guided by a systemic process that focuses on people. A transdisciplinary force that goes far beyond visual identity and includes the strategy and the experiences that consolidate a brand, giving birth to a new business.
We started with our Research & Strategy team visiting local bars in Recife, Caruaru and also the São João Party, one of the biggest traditional celebrations in Brazil, to create a study with deep knowledge on local culture. We cracked relevant visual codes and behavioral patterns of the region and mapped the functional and emotional needs that became the pillars of the brand's strategy.
We went beyond and helped the Ambev team also on the activation plan, establishing concepts, language, local ambassadors, amongst others.
As a result we have an authentic, democratic brand. A product which is fair and competitive for the client and accessible for consumers.


Jukeboxes from Sound & Leisure put music at one's fingertips using Zytronic's touchscreen technology.
Glass-front appliances are known to perform better than non-glass-front units in vending machine applications, and also promise greater performance and functionality in commercial and home appliances. A touchscreen technology that is compatible with the glass-front panel will extend the reach of these types of machines and enable further improvements in appearance and styling.
Glass-front vending machines are well-proven merchandisers. As long ago as 2001, the facilities management services company Sodexho demonstrated a six-fold increase in revenue from glass-front vending machines, which allow customers to see items on offer before buying, compared to non-glass-front units. Appliance designers are now seeking the functional advantages of a glass-front design in a wider range of equipment and environments, and are also looking to improve on the appearance of more traditional appliances.
But it is also time for the traditional glass-front design to move forward, to present a more sophisticated appearance, and also to enable savings in equipment costs and assembly time. The most common glass-front layout combines the glass-fronted merchandising section alongside a separate control panel that usually includes a traditional keypad and monochrome alphanumeric display.
Retail, commercial and consumer appliance markets are ready for enhanced user interfaces that incorporate high-tech controls and colourful, dynamic graphics that support a wider variety of choices. The availability of color TFT-LCD screens at competitive prices offers one solution to directly replace the limited display and keypad features of the traditional glass-front design. The TFT-LCD screen can be combined with a touchscreen panel to eliminate the keypad, but such a solution would allow only modest advances in styling and user-convenience. On the other hand, implementing the touchscreen in an area of the glass front panel creates even greater freedom for designers to create performance differentiators as well as futuristic and efficient designs.
Public access terminals made by Touch4 using Zytouch technology.
Common capacitive or resistive touch- sensing technologies have some limitations that can restrict the potential for designers to create bold new styles. The major inhibitor is that the sensors are surface-active, and must be mounted on the outside of the glass front panel. In this position, the touch sensor is not only vulnerable to damage, but also requires cutting an aperture in the panel to connect the sensor to the processing electronics inside the appliance. The size of aperture required may vary, from a small wiring conduit up the size of a TFT-LCD display.
This increases the cost of the solution by adding an extra cutting process to produce the aperture and by introducing the need for sealing against ingress of moisture, dirt or dust into the equipment. There is also an increased risk of damage to the panel during manufacture, leading to expensive scrap. In the case of an appliance for hot or cold storage applications, these apertures will also complicate the design of the front panel by demanding a secondary sealed panel to effectively isolate the environment within the unit.
There are touch-sensitive technologies that are able to sense through glass to support an aperture-free front panel in glass-front appliance designs. An example is digital charge transfer, which combines an array of electrodes implemented as switches on a PCB managed by a mixed-signal IC to detect the presence of a finger over any switch in the matrix. However, some drawbacks include the time required to design and fabricate the PCB, as well as the need to re-spin the board in the event that the layout of the switch matrix needs to be changed.
Projected Capacitive Sensing (PCT™) provides an alternative that is more suited to the particular demands of these modern kiosk designs. By projecting the sensing field forward, in front of the sensor array, PCT is able to sense touch when the sensor is located behind up to 20 mm of glass. This allows the control electronics and touch sensor implementation to be self-contained inside the cabinet, without requiring apertures to be cut into the glass or exposing the sensor to increased wear and tear and accidental or malicious damage.
Because the PCT sensor array is embedded inside the machine, it cannot become damaged during cleaning. Resistive touch sensors, on the other hand, are especially vulnerable to damage by a variety of cleaning solvents, and can be destroyed by sharp fingernails or repeated use with a harsh pointing object such as a pen. PCT sensing, by contrast, remains fully functional even if the front panel becomes scratched or chipped.
By incorporating the touch sensor directly into the front panel, PCT enables attractive glass-front appliances that are economical to build and deliver robust performance in tough environments.
Fig. 1. Two sets of wire electrodes are used to create sensing arrays for X and Y axes.
PCT sensor technology is implemented using an array of microfine capacitors that can be embedded as an integral part of the glass front panel of an appliance such as a food chiller or vending machine. Depending on the screen resolution and size, between 16 and 64 individual circuits are created, effectively subdividing the screen area into pixel-sized sensing cells. Fig. 1 illustrates how two sets of wire electrodes are used to create sensing arrays operating in both X and Y axes. The diagram also illustrates how the pattern of the wires is skewed to prevent optical fringing.
The sensor wires are connected to an integrated electronic controller board, which establishes an oscillation frequency for each wire. When a conducting stylus touches the glass surface of the sensor, a change in capacitance occurs. This results in a measurable oscillation frequency change in the capacitors surrounding the contact point. The integrated controller then calculates new capacitive values and this data is transferred to the host controller.
Since each capacitor is in the form of a wire that has a diameter of around 25 percent of the thickness of a human hair, the array is invisible to the human eye when viewed against a powered display. The effect on light transmission through the screen is also negligible, so that the PCT sensor does not compromise the brightness or clarity of the display. This contrasts with resistive or conventional capacitive sensors, which absorb a considerable proportion of the light from the screen.
Also, unlike a conventional capacitive sensing array, the PCT sensor is not subject to drift, which produces a progressive loss of sensing accuracy. The drift-free operation of PCT eliminates the need for periodic recalibration throughout the operating lifetime of the machine. This can significantly reduce ownership costs for kiosk operators as well as servicing overheads for appliance vendors.
In most touchscreen kiosk applications, the touch sensor is used in conjunction with a CRT or TFT-LCD panel. The sensor array is aligned with the viewable area of the panel, which displays the user controls as graphical objects. This has the advantage of allowing the control panel layout or functions to be reconfigured quickly and at relatively low cost through software changes. On the other hand, extra engineering effort is required to fix the display panel behind the glass front. Emerging OLED technologies may offer a solution in the future, being lighter and thinner than a TFT-LCD panel.
Alternatively, touch features can be implemented using PCT sensing without the use of a graphical display by applying a decal to the front panel, directly over the touch sensitive area. A wide range of styles and effects can be created, limited only by the imagination of graphic designers. For example, the use of period, retro or futuristic graphics and typefaces could be used to quickly customize an appliance design for special applications or environments such as hotels, themed restaurants or special venues. The touch panel design could be incorporated into a decal covering the entire machine, allowing striking and attractive effects. PCT is an especially powerful touch technology in this context, by allowing decals to be applied quickly and easily to the aperture-free front panel.

"Fans tend for some reason to send me copies of this book The Prophet by Khali Gibrain. I've got about 14 copies and I don't know why but it seems to be their favourite for me." - The Edge on what he's reading, 1989
The album, The Unforgettable Fire, was named after a series of paintings made by survivors of the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.


"I am gonna remember how the team made me feel, how my coaches impacted me, not the shots I hit or missed. Yes, you take pride in your hard work, but it's the people that make it the best. It was a dream come true, playing four years of college basketball. I came to Hanover first for the academics, then second for the basketball. It couldn't have worked out better. School was always a priority for me and I felt like I fit in here; I made the right choice."


We received Gozer's weight-loss information sheet earlier this week. It says that we're going to turn Gozer into a supermodel :) Her last weight at the vet was 11.8kg and the vet wants her down at 10kg. Gozer is to lose the weight over at least nine weeks; losing it more quickly would be bad.
I know 1.8kg doesn't sound like much weight but it is 15% of her body weight and that's a significant amount. Imagine if you had to lose 15% of your body weight - it would take a while! It's also important that the weight come off slowly so that she stays healthy.
To lose the weight, Gozer is allowed 440 calories per day of which at most 10% of the calories can come from food. Therefore, Gozer is now allowed only 3/4 cup of her food twice daily. That's down from about a cup of food twice daily and I think we were actually feeding her even more than that. When packed tightly, her food used to completely cover the bottom of her food dish and now it doesn't cover the bottom at all. Packing her food tightly leaves about one-third to one-half of the dish exposed.
The goal we've been given is to give Gozer only 30 calories in treats each day. Currently we give her a small amount of peanut butter in the mornings which we figured to be about eight calories. I know I've given her up to a full teaspoon of the peanut butter but at 33 calories per teaspoon, that can't happen any more. We also give Gozer a treat when she goes into her kennel in the mornings and evenings. We checked and each one of those treats has 22 calories (or 29 for the other flavour). Therefore, Gozer doesn't get a full cookie any more when she goes into her kennel.
Because Gozer's current food doesn't have any flexibility for things like getting a bath (when she would normally get about two liver bits at eight calories each), we need to re-work what treats we're feeding her. We have room to cut down on her kibble when she gets more treats so we can always do that. We're also going to do some investigation into other treats with fewer calories (including things like carrots and apples; the vet also suggested cat treats) so that we have more flexibility in what we give her.
I'd also like to be able to give her more volume of treats for the same calories, if possible. Gozer has been on her diet for a couple of days now and I think she thinks she's starving. When she sleeps on the chair in front of the tv she almost always has one of her squeaky toys in her mouth. When she's not up on the chair with me, she's looking for insects to eat. Poor girl. I know how she feels, being hungry all the time. I figure if we can give her treats that are more filling and have fewer calories, she'll be happier.
I am looking forward to seeing our little fluffybutt becoming leaner. Already she seems to have more energy on her walks and when playing so I think that she'll like being leaner, too.
Keeping pups at the right weight can be challenging - we're currently working to get my dog down from 65 to 60 lbs and my housemate's dog down from 103 to 90ish.
You might want to try something like this www.purebites.com/ProductsDogEng/products_whitefish.html because they're stinky so the dogs seem extra excited by them and they're pretty decently sized for the calories.
