Conversations with Morro Bay Residents
1 Comment / By Aaron Ochs / April 2, 2022 April 3, 2022
Since announcing that I was seriously considering a mayoral run in Morro Bay, I've had several residents reach out to me. Likewise, I've reached out to them and got a lot of great feedback. There are a lot of residents who have a lot to say. Then there is everyone else who goes about their daily lives, too preoccupied to stay on top of the issues happening at City Hall. In order to win, the goal is to essentially win over both camps. Otherwise, the community will always vote 51-to-49% and have a virtual split between two candidates — just like we've seen in previous mayoral races.
Easier said than done.
Getting involved in public service or seeking candidacy for public office can be a daunting task. Nobody said it was going to be easy. It's a rather humbling process. Some residents were encouraging and some weren't. And time and time again, I was reminded that our City issues aren't so black and white, yay or nay. There are a lot of nuances to take into consideration as a candidate and an elected official. I'm going to go over what some of the largest issues are, what the community consensus is, and what are possible solutions to consider.
Morro Bay Water Reclamation Facility
We're no longer in a position to debate where it should be located or what kind of facility we should have. Those factors are set in stone. In 2018, the community majority decided to move forward by not opposing rate increases pursuant to Proposition 218. Now, the question is whether or not the project can be financially sustainable enough to not raise rates in the foreseeable future. We're looking at a project that's blowing past cost expectations, budgets and deadlines. Our regulatory partners are watching closely as our current site exposes us to potential fines for violations and could impact the Morro Bay National Estuary. We have pipeline installation work that's patchy at best, done by a subcontractor known for not fixing millions of dollars in damage to roads and drainage systems. We need stronger oversight of the project and stricter adherence to containing costs. As mayor, I would look at reinstating the Water Reclamation Facility Citizen Advisory Committee (WRFCAC), which was disbanded in 2019, and aggressively pursue additional financing for the project. For this public process to be successful, our City needs to strike a healthy balance between consultant input and public debate.
Morro Bay Vistra Energy Power Plant
Morro Bay is set to host the world's largest energy storage system. Citizens applaud the ingenuity of bring in alternative, renewable sources of energy that commit to climate change goals. But with every large-scale infrastructure that's proposed, there has to be a discussion that ventures beyond the PowerPoint Presentation. We haven't seen much of a discussion about the environmental impacts such a facility would have, considering the fact Vistra's often-cited example of their successful lithium-ion battery storage facility in Moss Landing has struggled to avoid shutdowns. And there are no clear answers as to why these shutdowns occurred. Under Morro Bay Mayor John Headding's leadership, the City has largely avoided a cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment of the proposed Vistra Energy Power Plant — all in deference to Vistra. Since battery storage technology remains nascent, the City of Morro Bay must show caution and restraint. We can't find ourselves constantly rolling out the red carpet for large corporations and special interests.
Morro Bay Harbor Dept. Financial Issues
There is a lot of debate going on here. Consensus clearly shows that residents want to see our harbor infrastructure improved, but the community is almost evenly divided on how to pay for these improvements. Despite being the primary caretaker of our waterfront, the Harbor Dept. remains in a $600,000 to $1,000,000 deficit and they're looking for revenue sources. Friends of the Harbor Dept., a local nonprofit, is proposing a harbor infrastructure parcel tax. This tax applies to all Morro Bay parcel owners who aren't harbor stakeholders. Proposing an additional tax on property taxes during a period of rising gas prices, utility bills, inflation and supply chain shortages is a tough sell. I would evaluate the feasibility of an Embarcadero transaction surcharge, Embarcadero parking passes, formation of a harbor district and additional revenue sources that would not impact property owners. I would also negotiate with Friends of the Harbor Dept. to form a compromise solution that addresses long-term sustainability of our waterfront.
North Morro Bay – Panorama Development
For years, North Morro Bay residents have expressed concern about development projects and environmental impacts that would take place in their high-density neighborhood. Residents are particularly concerned about Panorama Drive, a street that features a controversial development on top of a decommissioned U.S. Navy Jet Fuel Facility (3300 Panorama Drive project), a proposed development by Morro 94 LLC for a 61-unit subdivision in the same area, and a sphere of influence annexation of an unstable hillside at Panorama Drive that paves the way for development. Many North Morro Bay residents feel like they're constantly under assault by the City of Morro Bay and believe their extensive stated opposition to these projects have largely been ignored. Under Morro Bay Community Development Director Scot Graham's leadership, these various projects have steamrolled through without proactively conducting outreach to residents. As mayor, I would schedule public hearings and work diligently to establish safeguards that protect residents from irreparably harmful impacts to their homes.
Natural Healing Center – Helios Dayspring Investigation
By and large, Californians approve of commercial cannabis operations. The concern primarily revolves around cannabis operators and how they're sometimes associated with corruption. When Morro Bay residents learned that local marijuana mogul Helios Dayspring was arrested and charged with bribing a county supervisor and filing a false income tax return, they were concerned about the public process leading to his Natural Healing Center dispensary getting approved here. How did they get from being one of the lowest scoring applicants to securing the permit? The City never explained that. However, they merely argued they had the legal discretion to do so and a local judge agreed. Complicating matters is the fact that Mayor John Headding and Councilwoman Dawn Addis attended a campaign fundraiser at Dayspring's home in 2018 and have refused to comment on their entanglements with Dayspring. As mayor, I would support an independent investigation and ensure any future commercial cannabis permits undergo a stricter, more transparent process.
These are the main issues that were brought to my attention. After speaking with more residents, I will have a more robust assessment of the current state of Morro Bay.

Here's the continuation of the November 2010 post containing the start of my essay, which was published in Slavic and Eastern European Journal (issue 45:2, pp. 231-242).
The deepest terror exhibited and forecast by Under Western Eyes' images of terrorism, autocracy, and the struggle to endure in Russian life is that, under circumstances of total simulation and dissimulation, truth disappears into silence, and reality undergoes an absolute erasure and substitution. Here we enter the region of Conrad's "néant," of negation. Conrad's readers are themselves made to experience a version of this negation, for the self-reflexive effect of the British professor's unreliable narration is to place them in the position of questioning the Western assumptions embedded in the text as a document written in English.
The resulting self-conscious and paradoxical perspectivism destabilizes our reading which depends on the Western professor's on-going narrative even when, for example, we realize that the compassion and perception he refuses to most of the Russians are what their struggle with erasure and suffering requires and embodies. "I suppose one must be a Russian to understand Russian simplicity, a terrible corroding simplicity in which mystic phrases clothe a naive and hopeless cynicism," he writes even about the Russian with whom he sympathizes the most, Natalia Haldin (76).
The concept of Russian cynicism helps us again to observe how a motif is made to break down in the novel, and reveal instability and negation. On one side is the Professor's condescension for Natalia's "naive and hopeless cynicism" - his snide "key-word" for his chronicle (49). On the other, we find the protagonist Razumov's paradoxical formulation, contorted by fear and despair, of Russian suffering: '''Stoicism! That's a pose ... We are Russians, that is - children; that is - sincere; that is - cynical, if you like. But that's not a pose!'" (147). Further, there is the revolutionary Sophia Antonovna's comment that "'women, children, and revolutionists hate irony, which is the negation of all saving instincts, of all faith, of all devotion, of all action'" (197). The novel's ironic questioning of irony is as brilliantly dislocating as it is compelling, for these carefully designed structural collisions and negations prompt readers to become as morally alert and delving as possible.
Found everywhere on this vertiginous landscape of dislocation is the primary mechanism of communication at work within a totalizing system and practiced even by Conrad's central, English narrator: that is, "interrogation" – detached, reductive, and imposing, for example, the Englishman's censure and sentimentality on the interrogated. Interrogation in his case is a metaphor to characterize the British professor's point of view on "things Russian," but in Conrad's vision of Russian life interrogation is more than metaphoric. It is at the core of experience itself, and most of the novel's key scenes involve acts of interrogation: the revolutionist Haldin's testing of Razumov and then the Intelligence bureaucrat Mikulin's questioning of both of them, the myriad interrogations of Razumov by the Geneva Russians - the Haldins, Sophia Antonovna, not to mention Peter Ivanovich - and finally Razumov's own self-interrogation in his Dostoyevskian journal.
Silence is a signal characteristic of the frozen Russian wastes here. The novel's images of suspended corpses are silent, and as well the holders of power - Prince K, Councilor Mikulin, etc. - mumble or are silent; the key words in their sentences are ellipses, erasures, silences. The "truths" of Razumov's story are silenced, and by the end of the novel his world is literally silence: his eardrums are shattered by the counterspy Nikita's gun. This final silence of Razumov's world merely makes manifest its actual condition: all previous hearing and speech have been invalidated by lies, within himself and within the world he inhabited; both the official story or history and his personal version are compounded of falsifications. The brunt and import of the novel's interrogation, then, reveal that language capable of uttering meaning is silenced in the Geneva of the revolutionaries, the Petersburg of the autocracy, and indeed the Europe of modernity.
The interrogatory rhetoric - of the nearly mute aristocrats and of the strategically mumbling Intelligence chief in Russia - plays at a silence which invites the interrogated to fill the gaps, to accede to and participate in a totalized societal speech. What the society evokes is, then, not only passivity and imperviousness, but also a sort of participation taking the peculiar form, however, of confession. Though, as we saw, Conrad was highly critical of Dostoevsky, this novel has characters who echo Crime and Punishment; and of course Razumov's confessional journal represents a development of the novel genre modeled by Dostoevsky, not least in Notes from Underground. Mikulin's interrogation of Razumov draws from him what is desired, confession, collusion, and betrayal, but in a Dostoyevskian confessional form which the interrogating apparatus does not expect and cannot decipher. Against the interrogating rhetoric of the totalized Slavic society, this "Slavic" English novel pits an alternative equally characteristic of Slavic culture - a confessional rhetoric based in a sort of silence.
Totalitarian speech, in sum, ironically and unstably calls forth the upwelling confessional speech it requires, but in a hybrid form undecipherable to it. In a further irony, the opacity of Razumov's confession complicates and reinforces what we have noted is the ironic doubleness of his character, making him simultaneously a haunted Petersburg hero of Eastern genre and origin and a coldly "English" rational Western temperament, though the latter recedes by novel's end. Finally, the novel's narrative structure ironically juxtaposes Razumov's Dostoyevskian confession with the British professor's narration and "translation" of that narrative. A Slavic literary form, then, is paired against and interacts with a more traditional, conventionally Western version of the novel genre, and a mutually deconstructive tension results, measuring Eastern and Western rhetoric against each other.
I'll post the conclusion of this essay next week.
Here are Amazon links to Conrad's novel and to Dostoyevsky's two works cited above: Under Western Eyes (Penguin Classics) and Crime and Punishment (Penguin Classics) and Notes from Underground and The Double (Penguin Classics) .
During and after the First World War – with its ten million dead – modern writers contemplated the bearing on their time of the idea of apocalypse, its violent abnegation of life and its apparent rejection of all that is living and whole. The engagement of this idea resulted in part from having witnessed European civilization's hurling itself into what seemed an abyss of self-destruction. I want to describe the illuminating parallel between two such visions of apocalypse, one by Walter Benjamin in his first book, written in 1925, The Origin of German Tragic Drama, and the other by D. H. Lawrence in his last book, written in 1929, Apocalypse. (Here's an Amazon link to the Lawrence: Apocalypse (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D.H. Lawrence) .
Walter Benjamin's book is a study of the German baroque drama, but his argument ranges beyond the nature of baroque tragedy to the idea of "the state of emergency" and the quite modern antithesis between an encompassing "catastrophe" and the "restoration" of life. Lawrence's book is a study of John of Patmos' "Book of Revelations" in the New Testament, but his discussion also ranges beyond the Biblical idea of apocalypse to address the crucial modern tension between catastrophe the hope for restoration.
The modern version of the baroque apocalypse connects the eradication of life with the suicidal advances in the mechanization of war (not to mention the soulless mechanization of mass society). Both the baroque's orderly purgation of life and the rationalized suicide of modern Europe's wars yield the apocalyptic sensation of living in a world that "is being driven along to a cataract." This world, headed for the abyss, is "haunted by the idea of catastrophe," of life being wiped out.
In the baroque period, an elaborate, sometimes grotesque art results; such art "clings closely" to the smallest, most discarded things in life, which exist under the threat of the world's eradication. As a result, baroque art, rather like modern art, "extracts a profusion of things which customarily escaped the grasp of artistic formulation and, at its high point, brings them violently into the light of day, in order to clear the way for an ultimate heaven, enabling it, as a vacuum, one day to destroy the world with catastrophic violence." The "violence" of such art zeroes in on any signs of "pagan glorification" and reproduces them even as it distorts these signs of life's vitality.
That paradox is embedded in the façade of the baroque Mexican cathedral dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, with its unholy mix of Christian and native pagan iconography, just as it is at work in Benjamin's portrait of the baroque German tragic drama, with its demented sovereigns and its apocalyptic final acts.
D. H. Lawrence developed a similar conception in his Studies in Classic American Literature (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin) and above all in his last work, Apocalypse. In the former work, America is seen as haunted by the apocalyptic death of the old world and the challenge of creating the new world; for example, in Lawrence's view of Whitman and Melville, death surrounds the human being who must use his isolated will to transform the bare force of nature and construct himself and his ties to other humans from the encounter. But for our purposes, Lawrence's last work is most relevant and illuminating.
In Apocalypse, Lawrence identifies the deadly danger of modernity, which impedes the affirmative contact with nature and the resulting potential for self-creation. His description of "The Book of Revelations" parallels Benjamin's portrait of the baroque, even with regard to the two Christian visions of the state, for in "Revelations," the worldly operations of the state, let alone of the body, are anathema and must be apocalyptically purged. Yet this "dark side," this "resistance" to "the things that the human heart secretly yearns after," is a refusal of "what man most passionately wants…his living wholeness and his living unison, not his own isolate salvation of the 'soul.'" "By the very frenzy with which the Apocalypse destroys the sun and the stars, the world, and all kings and all rulers, all scarlet and purple and cinnamon, all harlots, finally all men altogether who are not 'sealed,' we can see how deeply the Apocalyptists are yearning for the sun and the stars and the earth" and the rest of life.
How can the great rush toward death be stopped? Can human beings restore their sense of life, of vital consciousness, and "what the old Greeks meant by…theos"? In a wonderful passage about the restoration of language itself from his 1929 book, Lawrence again parallels Benjamin, who in "On Language as Such and the Language of Man" asserts that in the act of "naming, the mental being of man communicates itself to God." (Here is a link to the book containing Benjamin's essay - Reflections: Essays, Aphorisms, Autobiographical Writings). Lawrence describes the "old Greek" way of naming the water which overcomes thirst, of naming the cold of the water in one's mouth, "whatever struck you was god." If the water was cold "as you touched it: then another god came into being, 'the cold.'" For Lawrence, the names themselves, the words, are sacramental "things themselves, realities, gods, theoi. And they did things," they restored human consciousness and imagination to life in a way similar to what Lawrence hoped the language itself of his lyrical and incantatory poetry and fiction would achieve.
I want to explore here the contrast between Lawrence's characters and those created by the other modern British novelists I admire – Conrad, Joyce, and Woolf. The characters created by the latter are presented with what I want to call a nurturing detachment; even as these characters intimately implicate their creators (Joyce's Stephen and Bloom, or Conrad's Marlow, or Woolf's Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay), the sympathy – which infuses the presentation of each of these central characters – is inevitably accompanied by irony, shaping and sculpting the novels' "reality." The irony is sometimes structural, as in the stark and bracing transitions from chapter to chapter in Joyce's Portrait; sometimes the ironies expose limits and contradictions, as in Marlow's protesting that he has no gift for language; or at times, there are ironic collisions among points of view (as when Mr. Ramsay's tortured self-importance is observed with sudden objectivity by another character, in the brilliant heartbreaking counterpoint of Woolf's To the Lighthouse).
Modern novelists radically adapt the inheritance of nineteenth century realism, accentuating the sympathetic inward views and the detached irony essential to the novel form. About their intensified rendering of inwardness, there is modern novelists' evocation of the inner stream of thought and feeling. About their radical irony, suffice it to say that these novelists observe their characters' lives as part of a vision of collapse – of self, of society, of civilization itself.
Now, in these terms, Lawrence certainly qualifies as a "modernist." His final book of prose is titled Apocalypse, his portrait of modern society is in a word satiric, and his rendering of the inner flow of feeling is lyrically intense. However, Lawrence's version of the modern differs from Conrad's, Joyce's, and Woolf's. His image-filled, incantatory lyricism renders or, better, embraces his characters as a life-or-death matter; his storytelling is continually an act of celebration or excoriation, of affirmation or admonishment – in short, a sometimes manic, even desperate sort of persuasion. It is not simply that there are passages in his novels which read as passionate persuasive essays (remember Woolf's pages attacking "Proportion" and its murderous sister "Conversion" at the center of Mrs. Dalloway, and of course her prose is also highly lyrical). Lawrence's difference from her and the other moderns is that all features of his fiction – narrative voice, structure, the feelings and actions of his characters – implore us to embrace or object to what we read; the fiction performs an act of advocacy, aiming to impel us to act, to feel actively – not to sympathize but to love, not to detach but to censure. This characterization is itself not meant as censure; it's an indication of the mixed feelings Lawrence's works stirs not only in me.
Though his plots and men and women he creates may be Hardyesque, Lawrence's novels are themselves like Dostoyevskian characters, insisting you listen to his upwelling narrative and intent on contacting your very soul. The intensity of the encounter can feel as vital as lived experience, as the "dialogic" contact we witness in scene after scene of a Dostoyevsky novel. But it can also fail to realize the potential power of such contact, of the living encounter, for Lawrence's reader feels sometimes that she or he has been gripped by a needful imperious being, who requires acquiescence to his unitary vision and voice. Dostoyevsky's primary allegiance is to pitting characters against each other in those scenes of contact that capture what is at risk in actual experience, and his genius is in the masterful polyphony which results. In these terms, Lawrence often falls short: he yearns to capture the very pith and essence of experience, yet what often emerges is another sort of power, a stream of lyric vision rather than the agon and process of experience in which characters are tested.
Throughout his literary career, Lawrence was a practicing poet, whose poetry was a constant accompaniment to his fiction writing. His pleasure in writing a poem is partly a matter of his faith that the poem itself becomes the heartbreaking music of the piano or the grandeur of the snake or the succulence of the fig: the poem's voice becomes the font of beauty. It is meant to bring forth what he would call the god-like presence of realized beauty. In his poetic version of modern fiction, Lawrence aims to perform just this sacrament in his stories and novels; their repeated images become incantations – as if there, on the page, the miraculous birth of feeling is performed. His finest novels become an amalgam of that hallowing and of the characters who crave such sacrament, yet who struggle in confusion, searching and partial. It is Lawrence's insight and insistence that even partial, modern human beings can yet begin to contact that miraculous font.
Sacramental transformation is the subject of the final pages of the prose work I mentioned earlier, Apocalypse (his last work, written in 1929). Since my previous post, I've been thinking about the similarities between the ideas in that late essay and the core ideas in Walter Benjamin's first book, written in 1925, The Origin of German Tragic Drama. That will be the subject of my next post.

I am experimenting with spit bite with mixed results. I am worried that I'm picking up patterns from the blanket in the image. I want to get smoother gradations like I see in your prints at Crown Point. I particularly like Pat Steir's Mixed Marks, Landscape and Moon Lake. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Maybe with putting on the rosin? I'm using ferric chloride as the etch. What do you think?
There is a good chance that your blankets or the way you have set them up may be causing the problems you have been having when printing a spit bite plate. The best blankets to get are woven 100% wool felts. It is important that the weave of your blankets is as tight as possible as a strong weave will be transferred to your print. Generally, we only use one 1/16″ blanket and one 1/8″ blanket when printing. We find that using the traditional thick 1/4″ pressed felt pusher blanket along with the other two blankets is not necessary and actually yields a weaker impression. You may want to try stretching the blankets out a bit before printing your plate. Clean blankets are generally a little fluffy and need to be worn in to get a smooth impression. Simply run your uninked plate through the press several times; progressively lower the pressure as needed.
If you've played around with the blankets and your printing technique your problem might have to do with the way you've made the plate. The way you apply and melt the rosin on the plate will largely determine the quality of your spit bite aquatint. For the most part we use nitric acid for spit bites because of its strength and ability to quickly record every gesture and mark you make on the plate. However, nitric must be used with proper ventilation because of the noxious fumes it produces. As an alternative you can use ferric chloride, which is less toxic. Ferric can be a bit more tricky to use for spit bite since it generally takes a few applications to build up a tone as rich as that made with nitric. You can learn more from my book, Magical Secrets about Aquatint.
Surprisingly, the Pat Steir image Mixed Marks, Landscape that you like for its smoothness and depth was actually made using ferric chloride as the etch. Steir achieved this look by heavily pooling the ferric onto the plate and then she let the acid sit for a good deal of time to allow the acid to etch the plate as deeply as possible. Much of the tone in Steir's Moon Lake comes from a water bite plate in the background. Steir made the spit bite marks in Moon Lake using nitric acid.

The state's top ethics panel has turned over to the Denver District Court copies of all the notes and other records made during five secret meetings a judge said were held in violation of Colorado Open Meetings Law. The judge plans to review the notes and decide whether they should be made public in response to an open records request and lawsuit filed by The Colorado Independent.
DENVER — The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission violated the state's Open Meetings Law when it failed to convene a dozen closed-door meetings held earlier this year according to strict legal requirements, a Denver District Court judge has ruled. Because the ethics panel didn't follow the law, the court ordered the state's top ethics panel to "immediately" release all records of any improperly closed meeting, even those the commission claims are protected by attorney-client privilege.
The state's top ethics panel routinely deliberated in private only to emerge with positions ready for adoption in swift, unanimous public votes, audio recordings of the closed-door meetings reveal. The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission also discussed topics in executive session it hadn't described in detail -- or at all, in some cases -- as state law requires.
What does it look like when a government body debates and makes decisions in a closed-door executive session? Pretty much the same as it would in public -- which the law requires -- except that only the meeting's participants get to see what went into the decision.
DENVER — Colorado's top ethics panel agreed Friday to release unedited audio recordings of two secret meetings and plans to turn over redacted recordings of five additional closed-door meetings conducted earlier this year. The announcement came during a hearing in Denver District Court on a lawsuit filed by The Colorado Independent alleging the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission illegally met behind closed doors a dozen times between January and May.


With just a few more hours of 2017, I thought it would be a great idea to review 2017 as it was such an important year in Allison's career.
I also want to thank all of our visitors for keeping this website alive and for following us on our social media. I cannot wait for 2018, especially as we will see new projects of Allison and a great award season.

Q: Why can instances in my VPC still ping instances in different subnet? I have a VPC. In it I have two sub-nets (subnet-1, subnet-2).
Subnet-1 has these EC2 instances: 10.0.0.66, 10.0.0.83
Subnet-2 has these EC2 instances: 10.0.0.203, 10.0.0.208
I would expect to be able to ping from 10.0.0.66 to 10.0.0.83 and I can.
However, I would not expect to be able to ping from 10.0.0.203 to 10.0.0.83 but I can. I thought the whole point of a subnet was to keep instances in it isolated from other subnets? Why then can I ping across subnets?

A: Yes, You can able to Ping/SSH all your instance within your VPC.
When you create your VPC with your preferred CIDR range,Your main Route table will be created automatically and which will allow you to reach whole CIDR range. It does not matter how many subnets you have created under the VPC. This is default behavior in AWS.
If you want to block the access from one subnet to another subnet you can restrict.Select VPC associated Network ACL and edit the Inbound rule. By default source will be 0.0.0.0/0 ,You Mention the subnet which you want to access. You can restrict based on protocol/Port also.Post changes You can't reach from the subnet which you have not allowed.

I have the good fortune of working with all of the Food and Nutrition Services of the HRDC (Gallatin Valley, Headwaters and Big Sky Community Food Banks, Summer Lunch, KidsPack and Senior Groceries). My primary responsibilities include managing budgets, developing innovative solutions for food security, seeking funding and cultivating relationships in our community. I also work with the other directors at the HRDC to integrate all of our programs and to provide a path for our customers to thrive.
I love being outside and seek untrammeled places and enjoy searching for charismatic mega-fauna in my time off.
For most of my life, I have worked for organizations that utilize volunteers. Volunteers add compassion and enthusiasm and volunteering is one of the few things that we know will truly make a difference in this world. I hope to always work with volunteers.
Some people knit, I cook. It is a creative outlet with immediate gratification. Food is very important to me.
I live in a place with my husband that I dreamed about since I was 12.

YOU NEED TO VOTE....FOR OBAMA!
As corny and cliche as it might sound Baby Olivia motivates me.....to ask you all to vote.....for Obama.
I'm an independent voter. I swear. I don't vote by party.
In fact, four years ago, I would have voted for McCain...until he introduced us to Sarah Palin (she did a pretty good job of sealing the deal).
Four years ago I was far less concerned about the outcome of the election but, this year? This year I care.
Seriously though, don't you want her to be able to make decisions about her reproductive rights? Don't you want her to have access to an affordable education (just in case her parents are horribly irresponsible and spend all her college savings on a 4 wheel drive ford van thats perfect for camping)? I do! I really want these things for her!
If you need more incentive don't worry....I've been scouring the interwebz for weeks!
Tina Fey says so, duh.

I spoke to Dave Dionisi of Children of Compassion about his group which educates orphans in Africa at the 2019 Catholic Men's Conference at Assumption College in Worcester MA.
This is again the type of works that seem to fly under the media but it's the type of work that the devout have done for centuries around the world. We keep talking about the social safety net here in the US, but for these kids there IS no safety net and an education teaching practical skills is their best hope to escape a life where substance farming is the best case scenario.
Again we'll leave the tip jar pitch off today, and suggest that you visit their site and kick in.

Ninja Arashi is a platformer game featuring Ninja characters that are now famous among gamers. This is one of the first games to imitate a Ninja character that is both realistic and accurate. It has attracted a large number of gamers from all around the world as a result of this. Aside from that, the game's stunning graphics mode and unique features have elevated it to new heights. The game begins with Arashi, the main character, who is a former ninja assassin. Unfortunately, the primary villain the devil Orochi has killed his sad wife.
Following that, Orochi kidnaps Arashi's son. As a result, the game's main goal is to help him return his son by conquering several challenges and problems along the road. As you might expect, Orochi possesses a large number of inferior ninjas, and he requests that they pursue Arashi. These ninjas strive hard to imitate Arashi, but they immediately fail. Arashi is a fearless man who is eager to battle against any foes because of his desire for vengeance for his wife.
His sadness makes him angrier and more determined, so he battles valiantly to free his son from the demon. This will make the player's exploration experience more enjoyable than ever before. Because our games are always interesting, our system meticulously develops each game aspect. Participate in the game to have the most fun with Ninja characters.
Ninja Arashi is an excellent platformer with good gameplay. It features snappy controls and lengthy, smooth jumps. To begin, there are two arrows on your left-hand side that can be used to go left or right. Then, on your right-hand side, you'll find four buttons that can be utilized to perform various tasks. The jump button, for example, allows you to do single or double hops. The shuriken button can be used to assault adversaries. It's also used to reveal hidden chambers and smash vases and crates. Play Ninja Arashi to experience the game's unique features and fascinating elements.
Our system will provide players with three different types of maps, each having 45 levels ranging from easy to difficult, to ensure that they have the greatest possible experience. The user will have complete control over the character's movement in this game. Players will discover an exceptionally fantastic beauty from high-quality graphics, especially when engaging in this game encounter. Furthermore, you can easily upgrade your character's techniques, allowing them to become stronger and more easily defeat all adversaries. Arashi can take one hit from traps or adversaries during the rescue.
As a result, in order to keep him alive, you must employ a variety of tools that are both numerous and inventive. Rotating wheels, bunches of bloodstained spears, acid fountains, shielded foes, falling spears, or hidden soldiers with firearms are just some of the possibilities. When playing the game, you have access to an infinite number of tools. In general, the creator is highly inventive in combining and bundling various aspects, making the game feel more demanding and rewarding to the player.
The game's soundtrack is well-matched to the story and gameplay. To put it another way, Ninja Arashi has a very broad sound. Everything appears to be in order in this game. Ninja Arashi's artwork is stunning, especially with the predominant black hue. Enemies, bear traps, towering cliffs, and a knife stuck to the wall are all completely black. They stand out sharply against the background's jumble of colors.
Traps are often tagged with bloodstains so that they may be easily identified. This game is, for the most part, extremely well-designed, and the interface's colors are breathtakingly stunning. All players in Ninja Arashi's game must enhance their character's skills, as well as a variety of the greatest clothes to create amazing effects. Test your mettle in a series of difficult and perilous battles. Develop your Ninja skills to the point that you can easily defeat any opponent.
In the game, there is a ninja character. Ninja Arashi is one of the most visually appealing gaming characters. This is also a benefit that helps the game attract a large number of players, allowing it to grow and become more sophisticated. The gameplay of our Ninja avatar is simple, yet that simplicity will keep you hooked. The game will provide all players with the most exhilarating moments and the most surprising experiences, with unexpectedly intriguing stuff on each game screen and in each game mode. As previously stated, Arashi possesses so many unique abilities that you could spend an entire day exploring his physique. These abilities aid you in defending him against the terrible ninjas. The ability to change himself into a lifeless object appears to be the most astonishing attribute.
Another of ninja Arashi's superpowers is his lightning speed. To be more specific, he can sprint so fast that he appears and disappears at the same time. As a result, his foes are usually unable to see him clearly and become confused. Speeding up allows him to be at his destination in less than a second. Gold and diamonds will be used by players to improve their powers and enhance their characters. In addition to tough confrontations, the player will collect all gold and gems from the adversary. Begin your mission to save your son by avoiding all traps, destroying all opponents, and destroying all foes. This is a truly fascinating and unusual game, providing everyone with the most enjoyable amusement moments with the character you meet.

Joe Gibbs Racing announces crew chief lineup for 2021
November 19, 2020 Greg Engle CupScene.com Editor Main Page, NASCAR News Top Story, Top Stories 0
CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 25: Kyle Busch, driver of the #54 App State Class of 2020 Toyota, enters his car to start the NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25, 2020 in Concord, North Carolina. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
Kyle Busch will be getting a new crew chief for the 2021 NASCAR Cup season and that should have motorsport punters on BetMGM wondering how this will affect the 2021 season. The move is part of the crew chief shuffle announced by Joe Gibbs Racing Tuesday.
Adam Stevens, who joined with Kyle Busch in 2015 and returned to the Busch team in 2016, will move to the No. 20 Toyota team with driver Christopher Bell. Ben Beshore will return to the Cup series as crew chief for the No. 18 Toyota team of Busch. Beshore was engineer for the 18 team prior to moving to JGR's Xfinity Series as crew chief in 2019. Chris Gabehart and James Small will continue to serve as crew chief for the No. 11 and No. 19 teams respectively.
Together Stevens and Busch won 28 races in the Cup series along with two Cup titles. Busch made the 2020 Playoffs but didn't win a race until late in the season after he was eliminated from championship contention.
In the NASCAR Xfinity series, the team said Jason Ratcliff will return to the organization as crew chief for the No. 20 Toyota Supra driven by Harrison Burton, while Dave Rogers will work with newly named JGR driver Daniel Hemric in the No. 18 Toyota Supra. Jeff Meendering will continue to serve as the crew chief with Brandon Jones, who returns behind the wheel of the No. 19 Toyota Supra.
The team also said they will have fourth NASCAR Xfinity Series entry in 2021, appointing Chris Gayle to lead the No. 54 Toyota Supra team which will be driven by a team of all-star caliber drivers. The 2021 driver lineup and race schedule for the No. 54 Toyota Supra will be announced at a later date.
"We go through a process at the conclusion of every season that includes evaluating each of our teams," said Joe Gibbs, Owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. "We believe our crew chief lineup for 2021 will best position each team and driver for success across both series.
"We take a lot of pride in our depth of talent across our entire organization. All of our crew chiefs are proven winners. We are also looking forward to bringing the No. 54 Toyota Supra back to the track in 2021 with an exciting team of drivers."

For MAX to the MAX! Help for Max Świerkowski | Konrad Gaca's Foundation "why?"
HomeHomeFor MAX to the MAX!
For MAX to the MAX!
Max Świerkowski is fighting for life. He has to undergo surgery until the end of September, otherwise he will lose his eyesight and his life will be threatened. Only with surgery in the USA and further treatment he has a chance to live and develop properly. The cost of surgeries and the whole treatment is 1.5 million PLN.
Max suffers from an extremely rare genetic disorder – Crouzon syndrome or Pfeiffer syndrome type 3. The defect was not inherited genetically (Max has a healthy twin brother) and its origin for Max is not known.
1.5 million PLN is the amount of money that we need to gather for Max, so he can live and return to full health.
Let's give equal opportunities to Max!
Max, although very little, has already won more battles than many of us throughout life. His struggle began in July 2015 when he and his twin brother Alex were born.
– Our joy at the birth of the boys, however, was overshadowed by a serious illness of Max – the parents of boys recall. After the birth they saw only Alex, Max was immediately placed in intensive care unit – almost not breathing.
Soon came "the sentence" – Max has an extremely rare genetic disorder – Crouzon syndrome or Pfeiffer syndrome type 3.. The defect was not inherited genetically, and its origins for Max is not known. Parents in no way were able to prevent the son's disease.
Max defect can be completely cured, but requires the involvement of a team of experienced doctors of different specializations. – We have checked all the best specialists in Poland, consulted Max's case with doctors of 5 hospitals across the country – the boy's parents report.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE FOUND OUT THAT IN POLAND THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF ELIMINATING THE MAX'S DISORDER, SO THAT HE GET THE CHANCE OF NORMAL, HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE.
– Total cure of our child requires a lot of surgeries, rehabilitation and huge financial outlay, as it can be realized only in a hospital in Dallas, USA – Max's parents explain.
The Crouzon/Pfeiffer syndrome is a congenital disorder concerning abnormal ossification of the skull. This means that Max's head was not growing properly already during fetal.The result of improper union is deformity of the skull, Max has elongated, narrow head, strong bulging of eyes, which, left untreated, will lead to blindness, undeveloped lower part of the face (e.g. the jaw bone). In a healthy child, skull grows with growing brain. Max's one or two sutures of the skull overgrow too early, causing abnormal, asymmetric growth of the skull and face. The disease is very advanced, but also completely reversible. So Max has a chance to regain health.
His treatment is, however, extremely difficult and multi-stage. In addition to the defects of the skull, Max has improperly built trachea and digestive system. In the process of treatment the key role is played by an experienced team of doctors (neurosurgeon, plastic surgeon, dentist, orthodontist, audiologist, speech therapist, otorhinolaryngologist, a geneticist and pediatrician). In the case of other defects, as it is in Max's case, a team of doctors can of course enlarge. Doctors should cooperate with each other and with the child's parents in order to draw the best treatment plan.
Max's defects are treatable in specialized centers with a dedicated team of doctors in the United States. Treatment will consist of several stages: the first reconstructive surgery of the skull must be held up to 12 months of age; it will protect Max from the risk of cranial pressure on the brain, it will return bulging and endangered eyes to their seat. Max also needs to have an operation of trachea. With these operations Max will be able to grow up like any other child, properly breathing, seeing, hearing and enjoying life.
Due to the multi-stage treatment – Max will spend a lot of time in the hospital, the convalescence will require a lot of work, specialized rehabilitation and determination. However, the reward for this commitment is the highest – health and happiness of a child who is so determined to live and fight, that overcomes all obstacles. Although nobody gave him a chance, Max is still alive and feels much better – waiting for help to be able to begin treatment under the supervision of experienced physicians in the USA.

I just want to send a quick thank you to everyone that sent birthday wishes. It really made my day. I know many are wondering what happened in Texas. I will put an update on soon. It's been a crazy week. I need to be in the right mood for this next post. Until then, and I promise I'll do it soon, you all made me smile with the birthday cards.
I guess its not fair to say I'm not feelin too good because I am felling a lot better, mentally, since the last update. It's been a rough couple weeks I must admit. After hearing all the info from the surgeon a few weeks ago I was completely in shock. Shortly after meeting with him I met with the Medical Oncologist to discuss the options. He seemed to have a different idea about how he thoughts thing were for me. First off, like many people mentioned, forget all the statistics. You will drive yourself crazy thinking about all that. (I was close to doing just that) However, it is impossible to UN-Hear a doctor tell you "you're going to die from this". The oncologist was quite a bit more optimistic as far as the prognosis. He was not sure where the surgeon was getting all his statistics from other than maybe mixing together a bunch of information based on other types of Sarcomas. There are about 70 different types. Mine is a MYXOFIBROSARCOMA. To be more exact he explained to me that while it does have a high recurrence rate it TYPICALLY does not spread to other areas of the body. Typically being the only catch. Doesn't it mean it can't or wont but "typically" if and when they recur it would be locally, meaning it would come back in my leg again. The only way to take that is as a good thing. If anyone wants to read the study he gave me you can read it HERE and a second one HERE. They are lengthy and technical but worth the read. This being such a rare thing its impossible to find anything about it online that's worth reading. I gave up trying to find anything so if you guys are looking stuff up about it it's probably not relevant.
Both doctors agree there are most likely cells still in me. There is no way to tell for sure but they are basing that on the "positive margins" from the pathology report after the surgery. This tumor grows kind of like a jellyfish with tentacles which is why its difficult to have the surgery come back with "clean margins". So as discussed last time, the option now is Chemo. The oncologist thought the chances of chemo working were MUCH greater than what the surgeon mentioned. He thinks more in the 40-50% chance it would work IF there is anything there to be treated. I'll take that over the 4%! Let's just hope he is right! Of course there is the SLIGHT chance there is nothing there to do and chemo or further treatment is not even needed. There in lies the conundrum. No one can answer that. There is also no way to tell if the chemo is doing anything other than wait to get the scans every few months anyway. SO, the plan is to head to Texas and go to MD Anderson Center in Houston for a second opinion. We are leaving Sunday to see what they say. They are supposed to be the top place in the world for Sarcomas. I thought Sloan was? Honestly, I haven't felt like Sloan has put 100% effort into coordinating doctors and opinions on my behalf. Anyway, we will be finding out what MD Anderson has to say soon enough. I am hoping they mostly agree with Sloan and I will just come back to NY and start chemo. All this time I have been thinking how lucky I am not to have to do that but it doesn't look like I will get away that easily.
I am sorry to everyone that wrote and I did not respond directly to. I got all your emails and I really appreciate them. I just haven't been in the mood to write about all this very much lately. I will try to do a better job keeping up. Hopefully we get some good news from Texas! Thanks for reading!

The UN Solution to the Darfur Genocide? Lies…promulgate deeply distorted figures and characterizations

The UN Solution to the Darfur Genocide? Lies…promulgate false or deeply distorted figures and characterizations
Eric Reeves | October 2018 | https://wp.me/p45rOG-2iO
The UN has decided that lies, outright mendacity, are the best response to ongoing ethnically-targeted violence in Darfur, massive displacement, and Khartoum regime that remains deeply hostile to an international humanitarian presence. This takes the form of echoing Khartoum's various pronouncements on the security situation and the number of internally displaced persons. The recent preposterous comments by UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Gwi-Yeop Son continue those of previous UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Marta Ruedas.
Former UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan Marta Reudas is revealingly seen here being awarded the First-Class Order of the Two Niles by ICC-indicted génocidaire Omar Al Bashir; there could hardly be a more despicable action by a senior UN official.
Current UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Gwi-Yeop Son, recently declared that there has been "significant" improvement in security in Darfur, echoing the comments of North Darfur governor Mohamed Beraima Hassab al-Nabi: "lawlessness situation has come to an end…the security situation in North Darfur is calm and stable" (Sudan Tribune, September 4, 2018 | http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article66178/). This is patently false and belied by Radio Dabanga reports from the ground over the past year and more. I have assembled an Appendix comprising a bibliography of reports and compendia of reports for 2018 and 2017 that makes all too clear that insecurity in Darfur is pervasive and the primary reason people are afraid to return to their homes and lands.
We also have a tremendous number of reports of people attempting to return to their villages, homes, and farms—only to be confronted by violence from armed Arab groups that have seized their lands. Women and girls attempting to work their farms from nearby IDP camps are frequently raped and sexually assaulted; the epidemic of sexual violence shows no signs of ending. See |
"Continuing Mass Rape of Girls in Darfur: The most heinous crime generates no international outrage," January 2016 | Eric Reeves, author | Maya Baca, research and editing | http://sudanreeves.org/2017/10/15/continuing-mass-rape-of-girls-in-darfur-the-most-heinous-crime-generates-no-international-outrage-january-2016/
[Arabic translation of this report | http://wp.me/p45rOG-1Rr ]
[Arabic names for key locations on maps | http://wp.me/p45rOG-1Si ]
This outrageous misrepresentation of the security situation in Darfur has evidently emboldened Gwi-Yeop Son to indulge an even more significant misrepresentation, reported today by Radio Dabanga:
"The year 2018 has seen only about 25,000 people displaced, meaning that the number of displaced has decreased by 92 per cent." She explained that the number of returnees to their villages has increased reaching more than 300,000 this year. (UN: Fewer people displaced in Sudan in 2018 | Radio Dabanga, October 8, 2018 | KHARTOUM)
No evidence is given for this preposterous figure of "more than 300,000" people returning to their villages—because there is none. Nor does the figure of "only about 25,000 people" newly displaced in 2018 comport with July 2018 reports from the Jebel Marra region indicating that fighting displaced between 50,000 and 80,000 people in this part of Darfur alone. But because the UN has decided over the past year to accept Khartoum's radically low figure for the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), this requires massive, if utterly factitious, numbers for those who must have "returned to their villages." A look at the UN's own figures shows that this is the only explanation.
In 2017 the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) promulgated, if rather inconspicuously, a figure of 2.7 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Darfur. Parenthetically it noted that the Khartoum regime was using a figure of 2 million IPDs—700,000 fewer IDPs. See the graphic below:
But by the middle of 2018, UN OCHA was itself using only Khartoum's figure, with no indication of how their own data justified a reduction of 700,000 in the number of IDPs: "[there are] some two million internally displaced persons (IDPs) [in Darfur]." (UN OCHA | Humanitarian Bulletin Sudan Issue 11 | 28 May 2018 – 10 June 2018 |https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/OCHA_Sudan_Humanitarian_Bulletin_Issue_11_%2828_May_-_10_June_2018%29.pdf /)
No explanation was offered—the number of IDPs was simply reduced because of Khartoum's demands, not because any data justified such reduction. This is all that lies behind Gwi-Yeop Son's claim that "the number of returnees to their villages has increased reaching more than 300,000 this year." Indeed, one surmises that she uses this figure of 300,000 rather returns than the 700,000 implied by UN OCHA's reducing the number of IDPs only because it is slightly less preposterous. But preposterous it is: returning IDPs on a scale this large would have been widely reported by those on the ground, typically via Radio Dabanga; there has been no such reporting, or anything remotely suggesting the credibility of the figure "300,000."
There simply is no evidence of this number of returns, nothing in the dispatches of human rights organization, Radio Dabanga (with a vast reporting presence on the ground in Darfur), Sudan Tribune, or reports from humanitarian organizations, or accounts from my many contacts in the Darfuri diaspora. Such a vast number of returns would certainly have been reported if it had occurred, if only because of the massive restorations of land that would have been required for people to return to their lands. Yet such land restoration remains the primary obstacle to anything like a just peace in Darfur, even if the UN and other international actors refuse to acknowledge as much. See |
Darfuri Refugees in Eastern Chad
The UN has been equally unwilling to highlight the fact that there are more than 300,000 Darfuri refugees in eastern Chad, although when figures are promulgated they should remind us that they are essentially unchanged because there have been so very few returns—numbering not even in the thousands. And we may be sure that Darfuri IDPs and Darfuri refugees are comparable as populations, certainly with respect to a willingness to return to their homes and villages amidst the present massive insecurity—an insecurity shamelessly denied for many reasons, but chiefly because it is the line that Khartoum demands be taken. The precision of the figure in the graphic below—319,610 Darfuri refugees—makes clear that the total is a census from the twelve refugee camps near the Chad/Darfur border, and may very well exclude significant numbers of people not in the camps.
UNHCR is more casual now in its reporting, declaring only that "some 300,000 refugees from Darfur are currently living in 12 UNHCR and government run camps in eastern Chad" (April 20, 2018 UNHCR News Brief | http://www.unhcr.org/en-us/news/briefing/2018/4/5ad9a4604/first-darfur-refugee-returns-from-chad.html ).We may well wonder where the 19,610 reported in 2017 have disappeared to, or whether this is UNHCR's way of "rounding down" figures that are embarrassing to the High Commission. This is particularly dismaying, given UNHCR's celebration of even exceedingly small numbers of returns in its news dispatches, as if this were somehow representative of a larger trend when clearly it is not:
A group of 53 refugees left the Iridimi camp in eastern Chad last Saturday and arrived in a reception centre in Tina, North Darfur after a road journey of four hours (70 kilometers) in UNHCR arranged buses. On arrival in Sudan, they spent two days in a reception centre before heading on to their final destinations. These returnees are the first of thousands who are expected to return voluntarily in the coming months. Most have been living in Chad for years.
There is no large-scale return of refugees, nor have anything like "more than 300,000" displaced persons returning to their villages this year, as UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, as Gwi-Yeop Son would have it.
Insecurity Remains at Intolerable Levels
The radical drawdown of the UN/African Union Mission in Darfur, to the extent it provided marginal security, has had a negative effect on security in the region; its complete withdrawal by 2020 ensures that the only source of force exerting control in the region will be the Sudan Armed Forces and the brutal militia force known as the Rapid Support Forces, which has been instrumental in much of the human displacement and ethnically-targeted destruction over the past five years. The UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations has tried to paint a happy face on the withdrawal of UNAMID, but the truth is that it will almost certainly be recorded as the greatest failure in UN peacekeeping history, despite its staggering cost (see Appendix).
Reports of violence, particularly ethnically-targeted violence, continue and make clear the impossibility of returns on the scale Gwi-Yeop Son mendaciously claims. So numerous are the reports of violence, so consistent in nature, and so relentless over months and years, that I can only gesture toward what the UN in its various agencies, offices, and departments works to deny. A perusal of the following bibliography should make clear to anyone not tasked with being an apologist for the UN or completely intimidated by the Khartoum regime that the world body is presenting to the international community a terribly distorted view of Darfur's realities.

[Actually, the conflict is entering its 15th year; its beginning is typically dated to February 2003—already over 14 years ago. But the total figure rendered by NPA calls further into question UN figures for displacement (see above)—ER]
Almost 4,000,000 Sudanese have been forced from their homes in 14 years of tribal violence and battles between government and opposition fighters, the Norwegian Refugee Council says.
[This is a badly misleading summary explanation of displacement in Darfur: the vast majority of the "fighting" has been violence directed against the non-Arab/African civilian tribal populations of Darfur, by Khartoum's military (the Sudan Armed Forces/SAF) and its Arab militia allies—ER]
[3] "Darfur displaced: 'We cannot return as long as our land is occupied'" | Radio Dabanga, April 9, 2018 | KALMA CAMP:
Last week, the residents of Kalma camp in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur, briefed a US government delegation about the situation of the displaced in the region and the reasons why they still cannot return to their areas of origin. "The American delegation met with the camp administration in the presence of the deputy director of UNAMID in South Darfur," Yagoub Abdallah, the general coordinator of the Darfur Displaced and Refugees Association told Radio Dabanga.
"The US representatives inquired about the voluntary repatriation programme, whether people had returned already, and as well about the reasons preventing the displaced from returning to their villages," he reported.
The displaced told the delegation that only a small number of people returned to their areas last year and early this year. "But they soon returned to the camp because of the aggression they met from militiamen and new settlers." "We explained the American visitors that apart from the insecurity still caused by the many militiamen in the region, the presence of new, armed settlers is preventing the displaced to return to their villages.
"The new settlers, consisting of Arab herders from Darfur or migrants from Chad or Niger, are occupying our lands with the support of the authorities," the camp leader said. "These settlers assault anyone who tries to return to their village.
The displaced further told the American delegation that the government is still continuing its war against the Darfuris. "Government militiamen are now burning villages in Jebel Marra." The camp leaders handed the US representatives a memorandum in which they had listed their concerns. They called on the USA and the international community to provide protection to the displaced people in Darfur, to pressure the Sudanese government to stop distributing land to investors and new settlers, and to press for the arrest of all of those indicted by the International Criminal Court.
Returns in Darfur are rare because they are extraordinarily dangerous, which is why displaced persons represent almost half the population of the region: 2.7 internally displaced persons (overwhelmingly non-Arab/African) and more than 300,000 Darfuri refugees in eastern Chad (again, overwhelmingly non-Arab/African). These figures have not changed significantly in recent years because insecurity is intolerable, and returns—even to work lands near to IDP camps—have typically been met with violence, often brutal in nature
