Why USA Freedumber Doesn't End (What You and I Think of as) Bulk Collection
May 22, 2014 /5 Comments/in FISA /by emptywheel
I fear, reading this Kevin Drum post, that my explanations of why USA Freedumber will not end what you and I think of as bulk collection have not been clear enough. So I'm going to try again.
It is now, with the bill in current form, a 4-part argument:
The bill uses the intelligence community definition of bulk collection in its claim to end bulk collection, not the plain English language meaning of it
The bill retains the "relevant to" language that got us into this problem
The "selection terms" it uses to prevent bulk collection would permit the collection of vast swaths of innocent people's records
Such a reading would probably not rely on any new FISA Court opinion; existing opinions probably already authorize such collection
The intelligence versus the plain English definition of bulk collection
This entire bill is based on the intelligence community definition of bulk collection, not the common English definition of it. As defined by President Obama's Presidential Policy Directive on SIGINT, bulk collection means,
the authorized collection of large quantities of signals intelligence data which, due to technical or operational considerations, is acquired without the use of discriminants (e.g., specific identifiers, selection terms, etc.).
Bulk collection, as defined by the intelligence commonly, only means collection that obtains all of a particular type of record: all phone records, all Internet metadata, all credit card records. Anything that stops short of that — all 202 Area Code phone records, all credit card records buying pressure cookers, all Internet metadata for email sent to Yemen — would not count as bulk collection under this definition.
A more commonsense meaning of bulk collection would be the collection of large volumes of data, sweeping up the data of totally innocent people, on which to do further (sometimes technically intrusive) searches to find the data of interest. What we call "Big Data," for example, would very often not qualify as bulk collection as the intelligence community defines it (perhaps its starts with the health data of everyone born after 1946, for example, or the purchase records from just one online store) but would qualify as bulk collection as you and I would define it.
As I explained in this post, the means USA Freedumber uses to ensure that it does not permit bulk collection is to require the collection start from a "selection term." Thus, by definition, it cannot be bulk collection because the technical (but not commonsense) definition of bulk collection is that which uses a selection term.
And because they defined it that way, it means that every time some well-intentioned Congressman (it was all men, pushing this bill) boasted that this bill "ends bulk collection" they were only laying a legislative record that would prohibit the intelligence community definition of bulk collection, not the commonsense meaning.
The bill retains the "relevant to" language that gave us bulk collection in the first place
Man, Jim Sensenbrenner must have complained about the way the FISA Court reinterpreted the plain meaning of "relevant to" from the 2006 reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act three or four times in the post-passage press conference. He's still angry, you see, that a court, in secret, defined the term "relevant to" to mean "any data that could possibly include."
But this bill does nothing to change that erroneous meaning of the term.
Worse, it relies on it!
For most authorities — the Pen Register (PRTT) authority, the non-call record Section 215 authority, and all National Security Letter authorities –USA Freedumber leaves that language intact. It now requires the use of a selection term, but unlike the new call record language, those authorities don't require that the selection term be "associated with a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power." (You can compare the language for traditional Section 215 and the new call records Section 215 at b2B and b2C in this post.) They don't even require that the selection term itself be relevant to the investigation!
Thus, so long as there is a selection term — some term to ensure the NSA isn't grabbing all of a certain kind of record — they're going to still be able to get that data so long as they can argue that sorting through whatever data they get will yield useful information.
"Specific selection term" is too broad
Now, all that wouldn't matter if the bill required specific selection terms to be tied to the individual or entity under investigation. Even the USA Freedumb bill didn't require that.
But the language in USA Freedumber that got passed today makes things worse.
SPECIFIC SELECTION TERM.—The term 'specific selection term' means a discrete term, such as a term specifically identifying a person, entity, account, address, or device, used by the Government to limit the scope of the information or tangible things sought pursuant to the statute authorizing the provision of such information or tangible things to the Government.'
Again, note that the selection term only needs to limit the scope of production, not have a tie to the target of the investigation.
And while I actually find comfort from some of these terms — I'd be happy if the financial NSLs could only search on a specific account and the toll record NSL could only get phone records of a specific device (though FBI does use NSLs to get 2 degree separation, so this would return more than just that device's records). As I've said in the past, "entity" is far too broad. It could include al Qaeda — allowing the NSA to obtain all data that might have al Qaeda data within it — or VISA — allowing the NSA to obtain all of that credit card entity's data.
Then there's the "basis for" language. The NSA gets to determine precisely what data must be acquired to fulfill the delivery for a particular term. In the past, for example, they've successfully argued that some subset of the telecom switches carrying international telecom data could be tapped to find the al Qaeda data (this particular construction is preserved in the PRTT language in the statute).
Finally, though, USA Freedumber adds "such as" to this definition, making it clear these are only some of the possible kinds of selection terms. The intelligence community has already been abusing this construction. For example, at a hearing in March, it told PCLOB it uses selectors "such as telephone numbers or email addresses that will produce foreign intelligence falling within the scope of the [Section 702] certifications." But in addition to telephone numbers and email, NSA also uses malware code, something witnesses didn't mention the 9 or so times they described selectors at that hearing, and malware code happens to present a unique set of legal issues. So based on actual past practice, we have reason to assume that when the intelligence community uses "such as," it is only providing the most innocuous examples of the meaning of a term, and hiding the more troubling ones.
In other words, this bill uses "specific selection term" as the primary means to prohibit bulk collection, but then puts almost no limits on what they can use as a selection term.
Existing court precedents already permit the use of selectors to get bulk data
In their presser today, the bill champions promised that a requirement that FISC inform Congress of any new interpretations of "specific selection term" would ensure the intelligence community doesn't abuse this structure.
But the IC will be able to get bulk data (using the commonsense definition of the term) using the existing precedents.
There's the 2004 opinion that blew up the meaning of "relevant to," which I've already discussed.
In 2006 or 2007 (the decision went into effect in January 2007, but I believe it has a 2006 docket number), the FISA Court approved a claim that an entire telecom switch could represent a "facility" under traditional FISA definitions. That decision was modified somewhat in May of that year (in docket 07-449), to hold that "communications containing a reference to a targeted selector are reasonably likely to contain foreign intelligence information," which is what permits the NSA to have telecoms search the content of 75% of the country's telecom data to find those selection terms. We have reason to believe that FISC has also approved searches on common beauty supplies — hydrogen peroxide and acetone, albeit probably in high but not abnormally high volumes — as relevant to al Qaeda. And there is presumably some precedent that allows the government to collect significant amounts of financial records under Section 215.
All those are already in place. So long as the IC uses some selection term piggybacking on those decisions, they'll still be able to get great amounts of data and still claim it is not engaging in "bulk collection."
The limits on the phone dragnet
There's one more way bill champions confuse the issue here: by pretending the changes to the phone dragnet affect all the rest of the collection methods.
As I've noted above, not only does the new phone dragnet require the use of a "specific selection term," but it also requires that "that such specific selection term is associated with a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power." For the phone dragnet, and the phone dragnet only (and USA Freedumber explicitly envisions using Section 215 to obtain phone records outside of this scheme!), the specific selection term has to actually have some tie to a foreign power (though not necessarily a terrorist!).
Now, the intelligence community wants to outsource the querying on phone records to the telecoms for other reasons anyway, so they would use this system in any case. But when bill supporters say this bill ends bulk collection, it does mean it ends bulk phone record collection — as both you and I would define it, and as the IC would (except for that weird language allow them to bypass this provision).
That's the only collection under Section 215 we've seen. That's the bulk collection we know about. So by stating that this bill would end the current system — and it would — supporters confuse you into believing something similar is going on with all the other large volume collection programs.
As Mike Rogers made clear even before these most recent changes, this bill was not envisioned to change any of the other programs.
So this bill (probably) ends bulk collection of phone records (according to the meaning you and I would use). But there is absolutely no reason to believe it ends other bulk — using the commonsense definition — collection.

well, fortunately there is a congressman, a senator, rare soul, who doesn't have any hesitation about calling a spade a spade:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2014/05/22/228222/wyden-opposes-house-usa-freedom.html?sp=/99/104/244/112/
says sen. wyden:
"..I am gravely concerned that the changes that have been made to the House version of this bill have watered it down so far that it fails to protect Americans from suspicionless mass surveillance," he said.
Wyden noted that the new text says the government has to use a "selection term" to collect Americans' records, but the bill's definition of such terms is too vague–and, Wyden said, "could be used to collect all of the phone records in a particular area code, or all of the credit card records from a particular state."
He had this warning: "While this bill's authors may not intend for it to be interpreted so broadly, the Executive Branch's long track record of secretly interpreting surveillance laws in incredibly broad ways makes it clear that vague language is ineffective in restraining the Executive Branch. Given the Executive Branch's record of consistently making inaccurate public statements about these laws in order to conceal ongoing dragnet surveillance of Americans, it would be naive to trust the Executive Branch to apply new surveillance laws with restraint. "
The bill now goes to the Senate, where Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is expected to seek changes.
"Fortunately, the Senate version of the USA Freedom Act still contains a strong prohibition against bulk collection, as well as a number of other important reforms," Wyden said …"
so it's all up to senator pattycake. i wonder how many additional legal holes for querying pattycake will allow the nsa.
as an aside, are we ever going to be told straight out for just what purpose(s) we MUST have this dense, styfling mat of government spying thrown over our society?
So, this is the position of the USG. 'Cause computers and the internet have developed, we're going to conduct global mass surveillance, if there's foreign blowback, who cares, and since US law has not evolved since the 70s, who cares if there's domestic blowback. And the result is that we were able to conduct the Iraq WMD false flag, bust a cab driver for an $8,000 charity contribution and fail to stop the Boston bombing (more on that later), although we haven't yet matched our greatest hit of all time, the Gulf of Tonkin incident (most people don't remember what that is, so no problem). And kill people with metadata. But hey, we're keeping the multinational corporations that don't pay taxes safe, only not even, 'cause we don't disclose 0 days. And the last remaining jobs sector is military and police services, so freedom rocks. Freedom rocks and so does the War on Terror and the War on Drugs. Plus, our incredible decision advantage just helped start Cold War 2.0. So yeah, we really know what we're doing, and we're really helping you out, and you should trust us, and fuck you.

Eloquent Congressman Justin Amash:
https://www.facebook.com/repjustinamash/posts/715098591862883
Today, I will vote no on #HR3361, the #USAFREEDOMAct.
I am an original cosponsor of the Freedom Act, and I was involved in its drafting. At its best, the Freedom Act would have reined in the government's unconstitutional domestic spying programs, ended the indiscriminate collection of Americans' private records, and made the secret FISA court function more like a real court—with real arguments and real adversaries.
I was and am proud of the work our group, led by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, did to promote this legislation, as originally drafted.
However, the revised bill that makes its way to the House floor this morning doesn't look much like the Freedom Act.
This morning's bill maintains and codifies a large-scale, unconstitutional domestic spying program. It claims to end "bulk collection" of Americans' data only in a very technical sense: The bill prohibits the government from, for example, ordering a telephone company to turn over all its call records every day.
But the bill was so weakened in behind-the-scenes negotiations over the last week that the government still can order—without probable cause—a telephone company to turn over all call records for "area code 616" or for "phone calls made east of the Mississippi." The bill green-lights the government's massive data collection activities that sweep up Americans' records in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
The bill does include a few modest improvements to current law. The secret FISA court that approves government surveillance must publish its most significant opinions so that Americans can have some idea of what surveillance the government is doing. The bill authorizes (but does not require) the FISA court to appoint lawyers to argue for Americans' privacy rights, whereas the court now only hears from one side before ruling.
But while the original version of the Freedom Act allowed Sec. 215 of the Patriot Act to expire in June 2015, this morning's bill extends the life of that controversial section for more than two years, through 2017.
I thank Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte for pursuing surveillance reform. I respect Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner and Rep. John Conyers for their work on this issue.
It's shameful that the president of the United States, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the leaders of the country's surveillance agencies refuse to accept consensus reforms that will keep our country safe while upholding the Constitution. And it mocks our system of government that they worked to gut key provisions of the Freedom Act behind closed doors.
The American people demand that the Constitution be respected, that our rights and liberties be secured, and that the government stay out of our private lives. Fortunately, there is a growing group of representatives on both sides of the aisle who get it. In the 10 months since I proposed the Amash Amendment to end mass surveillance, we've made big gains.
We will succeed.

Ho Ho Ho, Streamers! It's Christmas movie season again. Yes, there are a lot of Christmas/Holiday themed movies that are released on the streaming services now; but there aren't that many new Christmas movies going to theaters. Violent Night is one of the few on the big screen, so I took a trip to the theater for some Christmas fun. Here's how it went.
Violent Night takes place on Christmas Eve when Jason Lightstone takes his estranged wife, Linda, and their precocious daughter, Trudy, to his mother's estate for the holiday. Jason's mother, Gertrude (Beverly D'Angelo), is high-powered and very rich executive, who lords her power of her corporation and family. The family jockeys for position to get in her favor including Jason's sister, Alva and her terrible son, Bert. A drunk and jaded Santa Claus (David Harbour) visits the estate to deliver presents at the same time as a group of mercenaries led by Jimmy Martinez (John Leguizamo) break in to rob the place. Santa Claus is a tougher opponent than the mercenaries expect. Bloody hijinks ensue.
The plot of Violent Night is pretty empty. It is just a flimsy set up for Santa Claus to be unexpectedly drunk and violent. We've seen "bad" Santas before, so there's nothing really special or interesting about that. The only thing that makes this Santa different is that David Harbour is giving his all to this unhinged performance. Don't give this guy a sledgehammer. I will say that Harbour is funny, but the humor pretty much ends there. He's the brightest spot in this movie, which would have been pretty ho-hum without him. Harbour brings the butt-kicking, head-ripping, bloody bloody violence that is promised, and there are also some laughs that are generated by all of this over-the-top violence. While the movie delivers big time on the violence, I wish it were funnier in the other moment that get pretty boring.
On the other hand, there are some sentimental moments that don't seem to fit. Jason's daughter, Trudy, has a bigger part than necessary considering that this is a rated R movie. Trudy is cute and all, but she is out of place. She generates a nice relationship with Santa Claus and has a clever Home Alone moment, but I could have done without it.
S2S: Official Rating Scale
Ultimately, Violent Night is a decent Christmas movie. It delivers on its promise of violence. It fails to hit the mark with the comedy. David Harbour does his best to be the violent and dangerous Santa Claus we know and love. He carries the movie. If you are going to see Violent Night, grab a bowl for an afternoon matinee. I can see Violent Night as a recurring favorite on basic cable in a couple years.

2018 release, the fourth studio album by British band Mumford & Sons. The album was recorded at The Church Studios in London with producer Paul Epworth. The album features the lead single, "Guiding Light". The band recorded more than 25 songs with Epworth and were intent on keeping the "collaborative spirit" of their live shows and 2016 EP Johannesburg. Marcus Mumford has said that much of the album was recorded in "non-gender specific Friday night lads sessions" with friends where they would play music, "smoke cigarettes and have a great time". Around 100 people were involved in these sessions, with some being featured on the record, including American singer-songwriters Maggie Rogers and Gill Landry.


I'm in the market for a new outerlayer raincoat .
I want a lightweight outer coat that will fold up small ( my old one packed down into its own front pocket ).
I dont want any bulk or excess weight , just a waterproof /windproof outer layer that is breathable if possible .
The Mrs has some fancy waterproof golf stuff greg norman brand, weighs nothing and packs down to the size of a plastic bag waterproof, windproof and allows for a lot of movement. Quiet as well should be worth a look.
I got a hooded rain jacket from the Warehouse Active intent branded, weighs almost nothing and packs down small enough to fit in a pocket (not bad considering it's XXXL) it offers no thermal qualities at all but does keep the wind and light wet stuff out.
Sarvo and Cordite like this.
ebf, 257weatherby and madmaori like this.
I wouldn't go out in the rain in it, you've taken it out of context.
The op said he wanted lightweight that packs down small.
This is something I take in case I get caught out in an unexpected shower or similar, it's light andpacks down small enough to fit in my pocket.
I wouldn't count on it keeping me dry heading out into piss wet conditions or if I intended to be in the rain all day.
This is just a it's small enough and light enogh that I can always carry it option.
I used it the other day when I was tahr hunting whilst we were sitting glassing and it was fine as a wind barrier.
He also stated waterproof so your $20 shower proof suggestion is most definitely not fit for purpose.
The Stoney creek stowit jacket would be my first port of call, North face and macpac also have some good options.

I was looking for something similar, and ran across this: North Ridge Pack-Mate Jacket - Hunting and Outdoor Supplies.


Probably the biggest thing I did last weekend was solve my car problem. It feels good to be legal again, but it feels better to know that the car isn't going to fall to pieces one day with me in it.
I did it myself, all by myself. When I bought the Malibu, my father was there to help me with the talking and negotiating, the Dealing with Sales People part. He would have been glad to help me this time as well, but somewhere in the last few weeks I had come to a determination. Here I am, a man in his early fifties -- I should be able to do this myself. I hate it, I'm physically afraid of it; as I wrote in a previous installment of this blog, I'm easily intimidated, especially by people in authority and Sales People. But perhaps that was all the more reason to get out there and face it, to try and put the anxiety aside and not rely on holding someone else's hand to get through it.
Then, too, my father has a habit of pulling me off on tangents and showing me options that I'm not necessarily interested in. He loves the process of shopping for a car. It was entirely possible that if I involved him, it might take the whole weekend, or longer. I wanted to get this done, if possible, in one afternoon. With my Malibu more than five months past its due date for inspection, and making more and more alarming sounds by the day, this had become a problem that I needed to put behind me for good.
My old Malibu served me not exactly faithfully for fourteen years. Although I tend to form attachments to things. the twinge I felt at leaving it behind on the lot had much of the sting taken out of it by a couple of factors. First, that Malibu was a nuisance to me almost from day one. During the time I owned it, I must have paid for it two or three times over. The wheel bearings kept going out, the brakes kept going out; in latter years I couldn't get the darn thing inspected without forking over anywhere between $500 to $1000. Gad, my poor credit card -- I never had a hope in hell of paying it down so long as I owned the Malibu!
When I bought it, I wanted to do the right thing by Buying American, little knowing at the time that American cars are shite. After my experience with the Malibu, I determined never again to buy another Chevrolet.
Second, just contrasting my battered old Malibu with what I was driving off the lot -- a 2011 VW Jetta SE -- was pretty much enough to erase any regrets all by itself. Hell fire, just having air-conditioning again on the hottest day of the year was enough.
The new vehicle handles nicely, and is much quieter than the Malibu ever was. It's comfortable and feels reassuringly solid around me. It's smaller than the Malibu, but doesn't feel cramped at all. I have positive thoughts about German engineering and am hopeful that this will not give me so much trouble.
I'm hoping that it will last much longer than fourteen years. After all, my commute is now five minutes door to door, versus the twenty-plus minutes that it was throughout most of the Malibu's lifetime.
It's true that my old Malibu looked forlorn sitting at the edge of the lot, with its cracked front bumper and cardboard covering the smashed back-seat mirror. I couldn't help but think about everything we'd been through together, especially the last few years with Mom and her wheelchair, and the move. But in the end, that's good enough reason all by itself to get rid of the thing, even if I didn't have to. The Malibu had reached the point where it held too many associations, apart from its mechanical failings. It didn't take long, driving the new car, to realize that driving the old one in its dilapidated state had been causing me a fair amount of anxiety and depression. That's all gone now.
At least, for the time being. Entropy happens. But for right now, this was a good, even vital, step to take.

Democracy and humanity
November 11, 2020 November 11, 2020 PelgrisLeave a comment
Democracy has fallen into the trap of all power. It's become about the wielder of power not about the people.
The idea of democracy is an ideal. It is a hope that giving the people a voice and a choice would motivate them to build a better world not just with other political bodies but with each other. To create connections to each other which would transcend the tribal(us vs them) and become a collective we. Thus we the people. It clings to the idea that the individual can both work towards their own goals while attempting to give others the best chance at good.
But it is here that is the first danger. What is good for me, individually, may be dangerous or disastrous for others.
The second danger is that of the collective. As people grow in numbers, in groups, it is less and less that the logical or those with ideas are leaders and more about charisma and how many people can you sway to your way of thinking.
The first was fought by creating the position of a representative who will take the idea of the collective good and represent that idea to create laws and a nation. With the understanding that failure to represent the will of the individuals who elected them will result in their being replaced. But the hope was that this representative would act in the best interests of the people. Not just give them what they said they wanted. In fact, it's a bad idea to give people exactly what they want. Our stories are littered with the consequences of doing just that. The destruction of acquiring what we want is recounted over and over. It was the hope that a representative would see what we need to get some of what we want and work towards that.
But we are humans. And representatives almost immediately split into factions and those factions began to shape laws which benefitted those in power. Themselves. While occasionally throwing some bits and pieces to the groups that got them there. Those representatives gave power to these factions to enhance their own power but instead stripped themselves of the autonomy which allowed them the freedom to operate in both their own and their constituents best interests. Instead owing allegiance to the party rather than the people.
So the first danger falls prey to the second and we are thrust back into factions. And worse, we become beholden to them for identity. Because we as humans are swayed by what we are included into rather than a greater idea of self. Most people just want to live lives which are just hard enough to be interesting but not so difficult that there is struggle. So they allow others who want that power, want that struggle to become their rulers.
The only benefit in a democracy is that sometimes people can be motivated enough to act in their best interests and vote to remove those causing them harm. Stripping them of power.
But here is where the faction comes into play. By excluding other voices from the election and allowing only those who they know will act in good faith for their interests. Parties are the very definition of special interest groups yet are always pointing outside themselves at the other.
I don't have a solution. Because this is extremely complicated and how do we create a system which both minimizes and weaponizes human self interest while allowing for the human need to be a part of a group without giving control to that group while giving enough power to make decisions which will effect other people.
Democracy is fucked up. But it must be ruthlessly preserved even against itself. And it must be brutally examined. Are your ideas for all of the people or only for your self interest? Do you act because you must for the greater good or because it will please your party or your friends? We must be willing to accept that other people and other ideas may be better than our own or our groups and work towards a common good.
This increase(some would say, inevitable increase) in factional power undermines the goals of democracy. And the thought may be to outlaw factions but I would counsel against driving factions underground. It is much easier to fight what you can see.
My hope is that people who seek office will use the parties to gain access to power then use that power against the factions in the interest of the entire group they represent rather than merely for those who elected them.
Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.

The gap grows in our manic grins
December 25, 2019 February 1, 2020 Pelgris2 Comments
Imagination and hope seem to be the two ways we hurt ourselves the most. We live in some future world where the daily struggle to be alive, to exist, is easy. So we miss what might be in the moment. What opportunity exists right now. But still, that escape of hope is vital. Self delusion is necessary. Without it, we would not be able to function in the corrupt and fucked up world where we are a step away. A mistake away from disappearance. From falling out of the daily beating of 'normal' life and into the shadow world where broken people and fractured society walk.
The consequences of failure are so high for most of us that we don't, can't, take the necessary risks to get beyond the cliff edge. We depend on hope. On lotteries and sweepstakes and the hope that maybe we can live without being afraid.
This is the consequences of not just late stage capitalism but of a society that believes that anyone can be rich if they work hard enough. And so make sure that the rich don't have to live in the same world as the rest of us. Because we aspire to be there one day and we don't want to have our funds taken when we do.
But that's poor people, honest people, thinking. The thought that a seventy percent tax rate means that they actually pay seventy percent the same way we look at our paychecks and wonder where all the money goes. They don't. They have access to all the tax dodges and schemes which allow them to pay in the zero to ten percent range. So that's what they pay. And those dodges are legal. Because they've convinced us that them paying less means that somewhere, somehow we will get paid more.
Maybe in the past wealth built things. Roads and schools and infrastructure. A thin cynical maybe. But now, wealth only builds more wealth. And companies do not pass record profits on to their employees. They pass them on to their stockholders. Which isn't us, because we can't afford to play in their arena. And even if we tried, that extra ten dollars a year isn't going to change our life. And neither is the extra ten grand that tax cuts profit them going to make a difference, if they even notice.
So, why do we keep doing this? Because we hope. Because we secretly aspire to be there "one day". And we think ten thousand is alot and we would love to have that money. But we are not them. And we never will be. The system is gated. And even if you squeeze through the bars, somehow…and become the wealthy. You do so leaving behind the millions of people who weren't lucky enough to have the opportunity, the twin composition of chance and foresight, to squeeze through before you close the loophole behind you.
Other capitalist countries don't have our problems. Because they have societies which are not built on iconoclastic single points. Which aren't built on the idea that anyone can be rich. And while that thought structure is useful, it is also harmful. And we are seeing first hand exactly how harmful it is when protections are stripped away in an effort to protect their wealth. Rather than protect the rest of us from their casual predation.

Holidays are approaching
November 25, 2019 PelgrisLeave a comment
I've stayed up way too late doing nothing in particular. Watching strange shows from Brazil with great English voice dubbing. Looking at my phone wanting to feel connected…
Then it flashes me the battery warning and I think, "probably time to go to bed." My cats asleep in the middle of my bed and I'll displace her so instead I remember I need to write a post for tomorrow.
This week is Thanksgiving in the USA. Another holiday that has its roots in blood. As if all holidays aren't problematic icons embodied in a yearly ritual to enshrine the victory of one group over another. I mean it's hypocritical to teach that it's about some historical togetherness and all but I question whether or not that actually matters. Knowing the truth about history is a good thing and it can help avoid past mistakes in favor of all new atrocities.
But being mad about a holiday seems pointless. Get together and change it if you need to. Change the name and people's cultural relationship to it. But mostly, it's an excuse.
That correct. All holidays are an excuse. Mostly it's to take a day off. For those lucky enough to be able to afford it. And even for those who can't, its the opportunity to say fuck it, I'm taking this time for myself. For my family, if you're into that kind straight laced social structure. It's a way to be irresponsible in a state sanctioned corporate sponsored commercially acceptable way.
And it's a time to say hi to that cousin you only vaguely remember. To try to restrain yourself, or maybe this is just me, from getting into sociopolitical arguments with people capable of only spouting talking points and appeals to authority. (Headline-If you are making an appeal to authority without data to back it up, you've already lost the argument.) And eat food you wouldn't normally eat.
Some people, mythically to my mind, get to hang out with friends and have fun. I've never seen it, except on Single person Christmas, aka Halloween, and even then that a socially awkward sexually charged powder keg. It's one overly fruity mixed drink away from making a pass at your married boss with his wife right there. Or laughing at someone's use of fetish gear as costume and demonstrating proper flogger technique in front of people you know are friends of friends who will spread that like wildfire.
Not that this is a bad thing, I just don't like awkward conversations about what drunk, no filter me, said when I am sober slight filter me.
Maybe I'm just not who these Holidays are aimed at. I know there are people who love this stuff. Love the gossip about nothing and the skirting of taboo topics at least until someone says grace.
Another thing I don't do. I'm fairly certain my lip service Christian family would neither take a blessing from my faith nor would my faith be likely to bestow blessings. Honestly, if asked for a blessing, I think the proper response would be something like, "The choices we make have consequences. Whether those consequences are good or bad depends on where you are standing when they occur. This means that whether we act or not, either is a choice. Make sure you make your choices wherever possible. Don't allow your choices to make you."
But there is no appeal to a higher authority which seems to be the point of prayer.
So maybe I just don't get it. Or maybe I do. But in any case, Holidays are meant for people to pause and see. To look around in the frenetic drawn out scream, and maybe, for once, listen.
But what do I know? I'm just a man who needs to move his cat, so he can go to sleep.

We only have freedom to choose when we are not in danger
February 18, 2019 Pelgris7 Comments
When we speak from a position of strength, we forget that not everyone has the same privilege. Without a calm place to stand, without stability, there is no safe place to strike out from. It is the most fundamental human need.
Safety and security is more than a good neighborhood or a job. It is the sure thought that tomorrow and for the foreseeable future, there will be enough to eat, there will be a home that does not itself contain dangers, and despite what problems may be thrown at us, we will have a support system of people and seeable graspable opportunities which insure our continued lives and futures.
Most of us don't have that. At best we have 2 of the 3 and hope that in some far off unknowable future we will be able to start planning for more than today. Most of us won't make it to that future.
We are stuck on a ferris wheel which we stepped onto, all naive and full of dreams, hoping and thinking that tomorrow will be better. And that's the best case, many were forced into darker alleys and worse choices by main circumstances.
How do we make it out? As a people, as humanity, how do we stop breaking the hearts and minds of our people just to perpetuate systems which promote the continuous devolution to barbarism.
I don't know. And it's hard to think of how to do so. I'm not safe. And it's only because my broken heart and mind won't allow me to sleep, that I'm able to get out even these words. All the while, wracked by doubt and worry and fear, thinking about the morning. When it all starts up again.

Thoughts on vitriolic speech
May 29, 2018 PelgrisLeave a comment
When we succumb to vitriolic language, we lose credibility in the marketplace of ideas. When one group espouses that all members of another group are inherently of no value, they set up a scenario of escalation by the people who most embody their statement and alienation from those who do not. That alienation has the opposite effect of the intended statement. Statements such as this are intended to highlight a problem and start a discussion but they have the opposite effect. Statements such as this polarize the accused group, causing not disintegration or fracturing but instead causes the majority of that group to, at least initially defend the group or try to differentiate themselves from that grouping.
This then leads to the people saying nay to the hyperbole, which then leads to a demonizing of those that say nay, then leads to anyone who might want to participate in a discussion about it to go silent. Because when all members of a group who have no choice in being that are vilified, outside of people who like to argue, they will see that discussion led to even worse things. And so, silence.
If no one is talking except to shout slogans and hashtags at each other then nothing can be accomplished. No discussion. No sharing of ideas can occur if you force the individual members of the group to acknowledge that you are right before you will speak semirationally with them.
Both sides shouting, no one talking, no progress is made. People want it all fixed, right now. Societies don't work like that. The idea has to permeate the culture first. And do we want to have a hateful idea permeate a culture. It's simple to tell if an idea is hateful. Just turn it around. Apply it to yourself and your group. Do you feel affronted? Angry? If someone said that about you would it make you feel good? If not, then you are spreading hate.
Hate is easy and it causes human emotions to flash hot. But it is destruction. Maybe you think to burn it down to rebuild it. But hate breeds more hate until there is no one left to rebuild. Or if there is, it will likely be people who rebel against your hateful ideas. Either way, you don't accomplish your goal.
It is easy to say no compromises. But that is not how advanced societies function. Dictatorships do. But they don't last and neither do their policies. One or two human lifetimes is the most you accomplish.
Real forward progress is accomplished by understanding and the slow process of new ideas embedding into youth and age giving way to the youth as policy makers. It's slow. But it is effective and lasting change.
If you feel the need to fight, fight for someone's rights. For someone's life. For each other. Giving into hate creates a situation where things can't change.

Hiding in our lives from ourselves
April 20, 2017 PelgrisLeave a comment
These phases and phrases that pass us off as normal, do us few favors.
Normal is hiding, normal is manning up or doing as you're told instead of what's right.
It's keeping silent and saying everything is fine when you've bought the gun.
It's saying I need to work through this alone when being alone makes it worse but we enshrine independence as some kind of peak but it's other people who lift us up.
It's being cruel to get the laugh and watching their heart crumble a little.
It's presenting strength and calm
when inside the storm is raging
and just one touch or word could make all the difference
but no one knows to say
because this facade we build is crafted day by day
and today it looks like any other.
Normal is the killer of dreams and the striving for the middle when the extraordinary is right around the corner.
It's the lie we tell ourselves to make it all better, that this is normal.
That we have to accept this because most people do
but the truth is we don't really know
because we are all trying so hard to present normal.
We're dying from normal. We're losing our selves to normal. We're slipping away day by day feeding into the great churn of buy this, it's normal.
But it's not too late to steal their normal and make it steel toed boots and black dresses and 5 o'clock shadow.
It's not too late to make this normal their weird. Weird is their term for different, for outliers.
Weird is my term for kindred. I like your weird. Be weird with me. Fuck normal.

Care home and charity work together to give young homeless people a taste of a new career
Residents and the team at Care UK's the Willows residential care home in Middlesbrough welcomed some visitors from the Community Campus charity to their home.
The charity, which helps to house and train young homeless people in Teeside, approached Ruth Catton, the home's Manager, after some of the young people they work with showed an interest in care work.
Ruth said: "The Community Campus team do a wonderful job creating affordable, supported housing for young people and training them in life skills as well as NVQs. So far, they have focused mainly on house building and maintenance qualifications, but more people are showing an interest in a career in caring and we were very keen to help."
The young people visited the home for a tea party with residents and a chance to talk to Ruth and her team about their work.
Ruth said: "The residents enjoyed talking to their young visitors and hearing about what they are doing and the team were keen answer questions and share their passion for caring with a new generation of potential carers."
Rachel Wooding from Community Campus said: "Community Campus are more than just a roof for young homeless people in Teesside. We support young people in all aspects of their lives and training and employment form a big part of the work that we do with them.
"This will give our young people the chance to experience a care home environment and training opportunities in social care and we thank Care UK for this opportunity."

Germany arrives at this World Cup without the invincible plate that they usually get used to. They were eliminated four years ago in Russia in the group stage and exited early at Euro 2020 after losing to England.
That defeat ended Joachim Low's 15 years in charge.
If we have to talk about the Japan team we have to say that they are looking for and following the pattern of their last six appearances. In Russia, they came within 20 minutes of reaching the quarter-finals when Belgium recovered from two down, ending the hopes of the Japanese. This year, they enter the group as the underdogs.
The Japanese team has some influential players on the world stage. Names to watch out for at the 2020 Qatar World Cup include Liverpool's Takumi Minamino. Premier League star Takehiro Tomiyasu, who is in his first season at Arsenal. Celtic's Japanese revolution in Scotland continues with Daizen Maeda, Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatate following in the footsteps of Kyogo Furuhashi, who has quickly become a fan favorite in Glasgow and hopes to take the plane to Qatar.
In Japan the time of the match will be at 10 PM. For his part in Germany it will be at 3:00 p.m.
According to the list of channels, we will be able to see the match between Germany and Japan live for all of Germany on ARD and ZDF. In Japan dentsu inc. have agreed the distribution of the World Cup matches in Qatar for all of JAPAN.
These matches can be seen online through the different web platforms dentsu inc. in Japan.
In Germany the emotions related to the World Cup in Qatar will be available through ARD and ZDF. As well as on the website and on the mobile application and Smart TV, you will be able to watch all 64 matches live, including, of course, the fights of the Germans.

If you take an innovative approach, you can turn even the most boring topic into an extraordinary essay. When writing your graduate essay you must keep in mind that you have two goals.
The first is to create a good image for yourself and to prove that you are not like the rest of the applicants or just a GPA score. You need to prove that you have an intriguing personality and an amusing life.
The second one is to impress the admissions officer so much that your way in is guaranteed. No two essays are alike, so each demands a different approach. However, you can follow the next tips and your essay will have a better chance to get you accepted.
No institution will accept your application if you haven't answered the question or questions they demand. Pay attention to that part and do your best to give extraordinary answers.
Be original. It may seem impossible to you, but it isn't. The only way to prove that is by letting your personality and creativity flow over the paper. Mix up the words in the sentences. Instead of writing generic structure, try telling a story in your own words.
Don't overdo it with complex words. Big words are good, but they don't make an essay. Especially if they are completely out of context or put in the wrong place. If you want to use big words, first learn what the word exactly means. You can have the best chance if you appeal to all five senses of the admissions officer. Make him/her create a vivid image in their head.
Stand out from the crowd. There are so many graduate essays that the admissions officer will surely not read all of them. You will have to capture their attention with the introduction. You must lead strong. You can even write the whole essay and then come back to the introduction and redo it so that it looks better.
Don't make the introduction a summary of the essay. If you do that, then there will be no need for the officer to continue reading it. Give a reason, not a narration of events. If possible, make the admissions officer wonder where you are going with it and what you want to say. Of course, in a good way. All paragraphs should sound connected and you should use transition words for each paragraph. Finally, make the conclusion worth the while. Don't summarize, stand out with a witty comment or an idea that will get you accepted.

Q: Exclude css form specific element from specific file.css Similar questions has been asked but this is more specific.
I have page which is created by user through form (shopware). From some reason  element do not have padding given trough form. It get's css rules from some other css file which works globally. If in inspect i remove that rules I get padding given through form by user.
Is there a way to exclude rules from specific css file, override it or whatever but to keep those given by user?

A: There are many ways, some of the least dirty:

*

*Add specific class for your block and put you new styles here.

*Make the path to element more "weighted" with your form
For example:
/* global path in css: */
.wrapper form .inner_block { ... }
/* you form has also some class .my_class */
.wrapper form .inner_block.my_class { ... }
/* or add extra element, if it is different from global: */
.wrapper form div.inner_block { ... }

*Do not include css file at all in your template in this page (it will be probably not your case).

*Write inline-style, but this is the worst solution.


I've been using this page structure for quite some time and it seems after upgrading to 4.1.5 from 4.1.1 something has regressed. It appears my BorderTab component is caching the page or page class when it shouldn't? essentially, i have a border component which wraps the bodyContent in a generic Form component. Inside this form (yet still inside the Border) i have some BorderTab components, each with a LinkSubmit component. Clicking these links navigates through the tabs, submitting their forms (empty in the example).
Please run the attached example war file, it includes everything.
1. click tab 1, tab 2, tab 3 etc - eventually the ClassCastException will be shown.

Remember Cardillo
NYPD to Judicial Watch: Drop Dead
Cardillo FOIL Case Update
Courtroom action opened Tuesday in Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Law lawsuit against the NYPD in New York State Supreme Court. Under state FOIL laws, Judicial Watch sought records, a final report and a key audio tape of a 10-13 "officer in distress" call made in the 46-year-old Phillip Cardillo murder case. The NYPD told Judicial Watch to go to hell.
Instead, we went to court.
Cardillo, an NYPD patrolman, was gunned down in a Nation of Islam mosque in Harlem in 1972. The NYPD claims the Cardillo case, after more than four decades, is still "active and ongoing."
Judicial Watch argued that, on both the facts and the law, the case is closed, and that the public has a right to the information.
Judge Verna Saunders is presiding in the case. Despite a late shift of the lawsuit to her courtroom, she was well-prepared, asking sharp questions of both sides on the facts and the law.
The NYPD took an absolutist position on the Judicial Watch request—absolutely not. Judge Saunders inquired, might the NYPD be open to providing redacted documents? The NYPD lawyer side-stepped the question.
Might the NYPD, which claims it cannot find the 10-13 tape, turn it over if discovered on a further search? No, replied the NYPD, because the tape was part of an active and ongoing investigation.
Retired NYPD detective Randy Jurgensen was in the courtroom as an observer. Jurgensen has played a central role in the Cardillo case for decades. He arrested Cardillo's alleged shooter, and later wrote "Circle of Six," a powerful memoir of the case that prompted then-Police Commissioner Ray Kelly in 2006 to direct the NYPD Major Case Squad to take another look at the Cardillo killing.
Jurgensen worked with Major Case on the re-investigation and says the inquiry was closed around 2012. Since then, there has been no substantive and material activity on the case—although the NYPD now claims otherwise.
"I was told repeatedly in 2012 and after, by members of the Major Case Squad, that the case was closed and a final report was being prepared," Jurgensen told Judicial Watch. "Copies of that report were to be 'sent upstairs'"—to the police commissioner—"and provided to the Cardillo family, and to me. That never happened. It's forty-six years since Phil Cardillo was killed. I just want to see as much as possible made public in the case."
Forty-six years is a long time. And it's fair to ask, why is Judicial Watch seeking information now? What is it all about? And why is the NYPD resisting disclosure?
We answer those questions at length here, and here, but the short version is that the NYPD has a well-documented bias against transparency and disclosure. It's embarrassed by its past bad behavior in the Cardillo case and does not want it dragged back into the public eye.
And while there is a general investigative consensus that the suspect Jurgensen arrested in 1976 was the shooter—he went to trial and was acquitted—many questions remain about the case.
Was there a broader conspiracy that inadvertently led to Cardillo's death?
Who made the 10-13 call that drew police officers to the mosque that day?
Why were the mosque doors—usually closed and locked—left open that day?
What was behind a special prosecutor's conclusion that there was a deliberate effort by NYPD brass to "impede" the early Cardillo investigation?
And what was the role of the FBI in all this? Contemporary witnesses and documents suggest the FBI played a deeper role in the events surrounding the mosque case than they have admitted. Did FBI dirty tricks somehow inadvertently lead to Cardillo's death?
Getting answers to those questions is why Judicial Watch is in court. Judge Saunders will issue a ruling in the New York case soon. Meanwhile, in Washington, our parallel case against the FBI moves forward in federal court.

Letters and Addresses
Ronald D. Liebowitz, the ninth president of Brandeis University
Ronald D. Liebowitz became Brandeis University's ninth president on July 1, 2016. The former president of Middlebury College, Liebowitz is a recognized administrative leader in higher education, whose academic scholarship centers on political geography, Russia, and higher education.
Brandeis is a medium-sized private research university with global reach, dedicated to first-rate undergraduate education and groundbreaking intellectual discovery. Founded by the American Jewish community at a time when many elite universities were discriminating against Jews and others, Brandeis is a secular institution animated by Jewish values, including a reverence for learning, critical thinking, and making the world a better place.
Under President Liebowitz's leadership, Brandeis has reaffirmed its special role in higher education, and has ushered in a new era of transparency and accountability as it refocuses on the quality of the undergraduate experience and the intellectual strength of its faculty.
"Ours is a community rooted in purpose, guided by our founding values, and poised to lead in education and research in the 21st century," Liebowitz has said of Brandeis. "It is our charge, our opportunity now, to reignite the flame of our mission for a new generation."
In an October 2018 speech titled "A Framework for Our Future," Liebowitz outlined an ambitious vision for the university. The vision calls for renewing support for the highest level of research excellence from its faculty; restructuring the student residential experience; and re-energizing the university's attention to its founding Jewish values. These founding values include emphasizing countering bigotry and prejudice, relentlessly pursuing justice to help improve the world, insuring openness to criticism and self-criticism even on its own values, and upholding unwavering reverence for learning.
The New York City native served as president of Middlebury from 2004 to 2015. In all, he spent 32 years on the faculty of the liberal arts college in Vermont.
Liebowitz had a transformative impact on Middlebury. Under his leadership, the college made enormous academic, programmatic, reputational, and financial strides, including the successful completion of a $500 million capital campaign, which surpassed its goal. During his tenure, Middlebury added 120 endowed student scholarships and 16 endowed faculty positions, acquired the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and opened the Center for Social Entrepreneurship as well as the School of the Environment, and led the institution to becoming carbon neutral 10 years after setting that goal. In 2009, Time magazine named Liebowitz one of the 10 best U.S. college presidents.
Liebowitz earned a BA in economics and geography from Bucknell University, and a doctorate in geography from Columbia University. His scholarship has focused on fiscal federalism, intraregional economic relations, and the nationality question in the former Soviet Union. He has received a number of research grants, including from the National Council for Soviet and East European Research, the Kennan Institute/Woodrow Wilson Center, the Social Science Research Council, and the International Research and Exchanges Board.
His current research focuses on higher education. He is now working on a multiyear research project with his wife, Jessica Liebowitz, PhD, research scholar in computer science, that began with a skills-based analysis of the higher ed workforce and has now spawned a series of experiments in bringing data science and machine learning into higher ed administration.
The Liebowitzes and their children live in Newton, Massachusetts.

Inicio Be visible! Develop your media skills! Be visible! Develop your media skills!
During 23 and 27 of November, Valencia hosted the European project Be visible! Develop your media skills!
During 5 sunny days that passed faster than ever, participants grew as much as in 5 years (well, professionally, because nobody wants to grow older).
The project reunited 24 youth workers from seven countries: Cyprus, Croatia, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Turkey and Spain.
Basically, a youth worker works with young people and helps them during the process of development from Youth work seems something amazing, right? Unfortunately, not many people heard of the great job youth workers do. This is why we have created a project to help the ones involved in youth work show the world the wonderful things they do.
During the five days of training, the 24 youth workers present in Valencia discovered how they can promote better their organisations and the work they do for/with young people.
The youth workers explored the branding concept and how a brand strategy is built. The training revealed tactics of Public Relations and Journalism also. They also acquired precious social media techniques. Social media is a field precious for the NGOs as they have reduced financial resources.
And no matter how the society evolves (one day Facebook will die) one thing is sure: we need to be creative. As youth workers, as communicators and as persons we need creativity to make our lives more interesting and richer. This is why the training included workshops related to the creative skills development.
All the activities were seasoned with interesting discussions and concrete examples for the youth workers lives.
The participants created professional and personal connections and are now preparing new youth work activities at European Level.

Frequently in the designing and décor of the house, the bathroom is overlooked. However this place is where you can appoint the most luxurious and aesthetic fittings and make a style statement of your personal. Apart from the accessories and the necessities like commode, bathtub and so on. the bathroom furnishings also plays an essential function in appear and feel of your bathroom. You have to be very cautious while choosing furniture for your bathroom. This is because nothing can mar the look of a beautifully appointed bathroom like mismatched pieces of furniture.
Furniture in the bathroom is of many various types and for various purposes. It can be anything from practical cabinets and storage units to the much more decorative and stylized mirrors, vanity units and washstands. Whatever furnishings you are opting for, your primary consideration should be whether or not it complements the rest of the décor of your bathroom. It makes more sense to appear for bathroom furnishings that matches your bathroom rather than choosing furnishings and then designing your bathroom according to the furnishings. This will not only be unwise it will also dig a larger hole in your pocket.
IT is quite obvious that the décor of your bathroom should complement the décor of the rest of the home. For instance, if you have a contemporary minimalistic design theme for your home, then you should opt for the same for your bathroom. If on the other hand you have a French colonial appear to the house then your bathroom ought to also reflect the theme in its colour schemes and accessories. At the same time the bathroom furnishings should complement this theme. It will be a great idea to have carved wooden cabinets in a French colonial style bathroom. On the other hand you can opt for sleek and stylish steel cabinets for a minimalistic modern looking bathroom.
The furniture in a minimalistic bathroom ought to be of a light colour palette, because minimalistic décor generally goes with softer shades like pastels, ivory, grey and whites. The idea behind minimalism is to produce a subdued feeling in the space and the bathroom furnishings should also be subdued and soft. White gloss furnishings will be ideal for a minimalistic bathroom.
In this way with a little bit of thoughtfulness, you can choose the right kind of bathroom furnishings to create a bathroom that reflects your personality and artful taste.

My responsibilities in the company involved programming of telephony cards. These are the cards which receives calls on the Time Division Multiplexed trunks. Work profile involves building new components on the existing in-house platform, which would interact directly with these cards. I am currently working with Audio Codes cards which are new to the company.
Project was taken up as the final semester project. It involved adding a new type of query – semantic query, to the popular open source search engine API – Lucene. The project was developed on C# platform and also involved the work in technologies such as ASP .NET and Windows Forms for the purpose of developing user interface. Project was completed independently as an academic intern at School of Computing in National University of Singapore (NUS) under Dr. Chua Tat Seng.
Project was successfully completed as a 6th semester project assignment . It involved direct implementation of various scheduling algorithms on 8051 microprocessor. Various algorithms for CPU scheduling were compared, so as to end up on the most optimum one for the real time systems. Project was written entirely in 8051 assembly and involved writing IVT table for the processor. Project was done under the guidance of Prof M. Radhakrishna.
This problem was pursued as a semester project in 5th semester. The system read the speech signals from the recorded audio files in WAV format. Signal was quantanized using MFC coefficients and was compared with the available database using GMM. Result was shown as Hindi text ( Unicode characters ). System was found to give a good accuracy of 75%. Project was successfully completed under the guidance of Dr. U.S. Tiwary.
This project was taken up as a summer project in IIT Kanpur under the guidance of Dr. Rajat Moona. It involved converting the ASCII coded Hindi glyph texts into Unicode characters. This converter was then used to convert ASCII coded Hindi e-books into Unicode text. Web pages were then dynamically generated for these books . Programs written in C were used for this purpose. The site was then displayed in UTF-8 character encoding. This allowed everyone to view the web page anywhere in the world without any need to download any specific fonts.
This project was pursued as a semester project in fourth semester under the guidance of Dr. Rizvi of Indian Institute of Information Technology. It used combination of PHP and HTML to display the front end. PHP was used to connect the dynamic site to the SQL database which formed the back end of the system. The project was successfully completed.
