Q: Access VBA: sql character to VBA string I would like to loop through a recordset in Access VBA and extract the values of a variable as a string in VBA. This won't work:
Sub test()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim m As String

Set rs = CurrentDb.openrecordset("myTable")

If Not (rs.EOF And rs.bof) Then
rs.movefirst

Do Until rs.EOF
debug.print rs!myField 'works
MsgBox rs!myField 'doesn't work

rs.movenext
Loop

End If

rs.Close

End Sub

It gives me an error with the msgbox about nulls, but it works fine for debug.print. I can't seem to extract the rs!myField into a VBA string variable. The character variable in the table contains null values, but I should be able to still work with it.

A: If you have nullable fields and want to treat them as text in VBA, you can "coalesce" them by appending vbNullString:
MsgBox rs!myField & vbNullString

Concatenation changes the value of the expression to String before it wraps it's passed to MsgBox.

A: I think I see the issue. Null isn't the same thing as vbNullString. See here for more information. It's Java, but the idea holds.
You have to handle the Null occurrence with an if statement like this:
Sub test()
    Dim rs    As DAO.Recordset: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("myTable")
    Dim MyStr As String
    If Not (rs.EOF And rs.BOF) Then rs.MoveFirst

    Do Until rs.EOF
        If IsNull(rs!MyField) Then
            MyStr = vbNullString
        Else
            MyStr = rs!MyField
        End If
        MsgBox (MyStr)
        rs.MoveNext
    Loop

    rs.Close
End Sub

A: You can also simply do MsgBox nz(rs!myField,"Value if null")

MANCHESTER CITY STRIKER CONUNDRUM
Manchester City have been good this season but not necessarily at their best with some poor results which has seen them lose pace with leaders Liverpool. However, Pep Guardiola has a growing problem in the attack which has been on for the past three seasons.
The choice between Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus has been one that has plagued the Spaniard since the arrival of the Brazilian three seasons ago. Initially, Gabriel Jesus had the edge with the Brazilian, high pressing a major factor in Guardiola's decision.
MANCHESTER CITY NEED AGUERO FOR PIVOTAL WEEK
Sergio Aguero's place on the list as the greatest striker to play for Manchester City is without doubt as he holds the all-time scoring record at the club. However, the forward would add more history to his stay at the club if he can lead the team past a trying week.
Manchester City have a series of fixtures that could have a huge bearing on their season as they face Tottenham at home in quick succession before making the trip to Old Trafford. The Argentine was partly at fault for the poor first leg result at White Hart Lane last Tuesday as he missed an early penalty for the Citizens.
Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Pep Guardiola
Fernandinho And Silva Add To Guardiola's Injury Woes
Injuries to the primary midfielder have left the manager of the team with a selection problem before the midweek European clash. Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager has claimed that he has 15 available senior players for the Champions League game against Hoffenheim after Frenandinho and David Silva were injured.
Silva is going to be out for several weeks after he sustained an apparent injury in the hamstring in loss of Man City by 2-1 at Chelsea. Fernandinho completed the first league defeat of the team of their defense for the title. However, they weren't comfortable at the end of ninety minutes.
Bayern Munich, Julian Nagelsmann, Pep Guardiola
Guardiola doesn't want his players to be complacent
Pep Guardiola has admitted that his team has been stunning this season, the way his players found their feet straightaway despite having returned to the club after a while from national duty and thrashed West Ham United by a margin of 4 goals yesterday, it speaks volumes about their quality, but the coach urged the players to not let the complacency to creep in.
According to Guardiola, when a team start believing that this is the best they can play or this is their peak, that's not an ideal situation because then the team stops working as hard as they should or as hard as they have been working to reach this position and it then gradually leads to their downfall. So what is important for the City players and not only the players but also the support staff is to tell each other that they can do even better than this and that they should continue working hard.
international, momentum, Pep Guardiola
Sergio Aguero Accepted Defending To Erase The Doubt Of Pep Guardiola
The strike rate of Argentina is up and it is there with the best, but only now the all-time top scorer of Manchester City convincing his manager that he is the finished article. Huddersfield was beaten by Manchester City with the score 5-1 in the FA Cup fifth-round replay last year in March. Aguero scored twice, but after the match the whole discussion remained centered on the topic, whether the player had any future at the club. According to Pep Guardiola, he clearly felt that there were elements of the game of Argentinian that did not match with his vision. He brought Gabriel Jesus in the team with a view to ease him out as it seems.
On that evening mood of Guardiola was irritable, as it is likely to be when he is pushed into evasion. Answering the question about the future of Aguero "10 times"; more precisely, the same question he was asked for 10 times.
"Media is aware of my opinion. By that point, his turn meant everyone did and perhaps, had Jesus not succumbed the knee injury that let Sergio Aguero back into the side; the team of Argentina would have left.
Aguero, Guardiola, Pep Guardiola

The world is dominated by men. No solutions will result from any discussion if gender justice is not taken into account.
Globally, there has been some progress in gender equality, but we are nowhere near equality of opportunity. Access to education, employment, equal pay for work of equal value, a political career, a loan or a leadership position is far more difficult for women than for men – while in many places, violence against women remains a taboo. SWISSAID is committed to gender equality and always involves men in its gender-based work, as this is the only way to create sustainable change.
Women, at the center of a long term development
Strengthening the rights of women and minorities is an essential aspect of SWISSAID's work. Gender is a cross-cutting theme in all our projects. The objective of equality, i.e. fair and equal power relations between individuals, accompanies the work of our staff and beneficiaries.
While respecting local cultures and human rights, SWISSAID promotes personal values and attitudes in all its institutions. To this end, and considering that a gender approach requires specific knowledge, the Foundation offers continuous training for its employees and partners: awareness of the theme, unconscious attitudes, gender discrimination. The status of women is also closely linked to the political, economic, cultural and social circumstances of a country. This is why SWISSAID supports its partners in advocating and defending gender policy with national institutions and civil society.
The UN, in its Agenda 2030, establishes the commitment to gender equality as crucial to sustainable development. Constituting more than 50% of the world's population, women are the key to this development, which will only be sustainable if its benefits accrue equally to all individuals. Below is the position of women and girls in each of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the responsibility to strengthen that position.
Four ways to equality
In its projects in the South, in its various regional offices and partners and in its commitment in Switzerland, SWISSAID focuses on four specific themes to fight gender inequality.
1. Combating violence against women
We aim to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations and public bodies to carry out awareness and prevention campaigns. We also train selected organizations and partners to ensure that existing laws against violence are effectively enforced. In some regions, we provide resources to better protect the physical integrity of victims of domestic violence and help them to know and claim their rights.
2. Empowerment and political participation of women
SWISSAID supports women to become politically active, to be elected to administrative or political bodies or to exercise their democratic rights. This is achieved through training in advocacy and management, self-confidence building and training in speaking out in what are often very male-dominated environments.
3. Inclusion of men
Supporting women is not enough to change an entire society. For 20 years, SWISSAID has been working to sensitize men to the dominant forms of masculinity, making them aware of the oppressive and disempowering effects of mores on women and on themselves. The goal is also to change the male attitudes of patriarchal societies and to engage each man in co-responsibility. This can be done through workshops that rethink gender roles, or through accompaniment by psychologists to explore roles more freely and overcome the patterns of violence associated with them.
4. Youth empowerment
Youth are the future. In them lies the possibility of societal change. Empowering adolescents and promoting learning and economic opportunities for girls are effective ways to interrupt the reproduction of gender inequalities across generations.
Our projects include young boys and girls so that they can better articulate and represent gender equality and the specific interests of men and women.
Expertise in the field
SWISSAID is also committed to gender equality in national and international working groups. In Switzerland, for example, we are actively involved in the Gender Equality Network, an expert group coordinated by the SDC (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation) that brings together all civil society organizations dealing with this issue. Exchanges within this group allow for better knowledge management and thus have a positive impact on the quality of work in the countries of the South.
Each SWISSAID coordination office in our nine partner countries has its own gender focal point. This person, who is specially trained in gender issues, supports the partners in the field, ensures the proper implementation of all activities aimed at improving equality between men and women, and is involved in the working groups of civil society and their own government.
Projects and articles
With agroecology out of the impasse
In recent years, poverty and inequality have been on the rise again in Nicaragua. In rural Terrabona, one of the poorest regions of the country, the food security is threatened. The challenges of adapting agriculture to climatic changes are great and the opportunities of the population are few. Agroecology shows smallholder families a way out of the impasse.
Guardians of the paramos
The project launched by the Colombian alliance "Guardianas de los Páramos", of which SWISSAID is a member, aims to protect the ecosystems of six municipalities in the Boyacá region. The focus is on the rehabilitation of traditional agricultural varieties and techniques, the protection of biodiversity and the strengthening of the role of rural women. Fernando Chaves Valbuena, journalist for elcampesino.co, tells us about it through the women who carry this project.
Access to land for women
In some parts of the world, owning land is the key to sustainable food security and the assurance of being able to provide for one's family. But with women – 50% of the population – denied access to land, incomes are meagre and families struggle to make ends meet. A project on access to land for women in Guinea-Bissau aims to restore this balance and improve the agricultural diversification of families.
A land which also belongs to women
14.12.2021 | The fight against hunger is multi-faceted. It starts with women being able to inherit and own land. This is what Isabela, a farmer from Guinea-Bissau, is fighting for. With the help of SWISSAID, she has broken through the patriarchal traditions in her country.
Webinar «Local Markets and Food Sovereignty: What's at stake?»
27.08.2021 | More than 70 people participated in the webinar on local markets and food sovereignty organized by SWISSAID on August 24. All speakers as well as the guests agreed: Many people in the South are dependent on local markets. They, especially women, deserve more help, remuneration and weight for their products.
Women farmers, get united!
In the rural areas of Guinea-Bissau, the best way to provide sustainable and effective aid is to work directly with the farmers, grouped together in associations. But bringing these smallholder farmers together is only the first step.
On women smallholders and mine owners
26.01.2021 | From sustainable fish farming on the coast to organic watermelon cultivation and responsible mining of raw materials in gold mines in the interior: SWISSAID is active in Tanzania in many different areas. Our new programme officer Christina Aebischer reports on her project visit.
16 Tage gegen Gewalt an Frauen
Es ist eine Geissel, die allzu oft tabuisiert wird. Die Opfer schweigen, eingesperrt mit ihrem Peiniger, sie verbergen ihre blauen Flecken und maskieren ihre Angst. Seit der Covid-19-Pandemie und den damit einhergehenden Eindämmungsmassnahmen hat sich das Leiden misshandelter Frauen noch verschärft. «UN-Frauen» bringt es auf den Punkt: mit dem Coronavirus geht eine «Phantom-Pandemie» einher, die […]
A lucky catch for Tanzania's fishermen
The idyll in the south of Tanzania is deceptive. Many young people are moving to the cities. Those who stay behind struggle with dwindling fish stocks, malnutrition and poverty. A fish farming project promises new perspectives.
Peasants on social security
October 2020 | SWISSAID supports women in its projects in the South and campaigns for women's rights in the Swiss landscape. The same fight is waged in many different ways. Like in October 2020, for example, when SWISSAID launched a week of action under the motto "I step out of the shadows".
What the crisis means for women
25.03.2020 | The global corona crisis does not affect everyone equally. Some people are much more economically and socially affected than others. Women, who are often victims of domestic violence as well as being the sole earners of their families and in precarious employment, are especially under pressure.
How SWISSAID helps to implement sustainable development goals
The 17 SDGs, also known as Agenda 2030, commit the international community to making its contribution to a fairer and less poor world. SWISSAID is working actively and energetically to achieve some of these goals. -translated with DeepL
Going into marriage with new ways of thinking
A life without violence – a pipe dream for many Indian wives. Young people in the Marathwada region are being sensitised through targeted campaigns so that the dream can finally become reality for as many girls and women as possible.
Myanmar's female opinion leaders
In Myanmar today, many women farmers are also taking part confidently in discussions with groups of men. They have been on courses where they expanded their knowledge of agroecological cultivation methods and built up their self-confidence.
No hunger thanks to mobile phones
If pest infestation means that bad harvest threatens, farmers in Tanzania can seek advice from experts – via smartphone. Even those who live in a remote area and can neither read nor write have access to knowledge that is a help to them on their land. Because in the end that is how you can harvest more.
Conversation with the Swiss public
October 2019 | SWISSAID has set itself the task of bringing experts from the global south into conversation with the Swiss public. We organize events with them or realize media appointments. In October 2019, Aissé Barry, from SWISSAID Guinea-Bissau, spent time in Switzerland for this purpose.
A woman farmer's story from Chad
Women feed the world – yet they often have few rights. This is why SWISSAID has been working for decades to empower women. One of them, the farmer Louise Ndodjita, is successfully asserting herself in the male-dominated society of Chad. This is thanks in part to a literacy course.
Anything but indifferent: the issue of equality
The issue of gender equality is to be given even greater weight: This is what SWISSAID decided together with employees from Switzerland and the nine countries on the occasion of the development cooperation strategy for the years 2019-2024. For ethical reasons, and also for practical reasons: projects that take gender relations into account usually have a greater impact and more sustainable results. -translated with DeepL

THIRD SECTOR FAILS IN FIRST MAJOR BID FOR PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACTS
Headlines: November 26th, 2007
The Government's aim to secure greater involvement of the third sector in the delivery of public services has been severely dented in the first test of a major procurement exercise. Only one third sector organisation was successful in securing a contract for the Department for Work and Pension's pathways to work programme. An independent inquiry found no conspiracy to squeeze out third sector organisations, but practical realities such as the guidance under which those procuring services operate and the scale of risk bidders for contracts are expected to take.
The 2006 Action Plan of the Office of the Third Sector acknowledges that third sector organisations 'have an enormous amount to contribute to our public services', particularly in the area of welfare-to-work. It calls for 'a step-change in the
quality of interaction with government that third sector organisations can expect.' The plan includes a commitment to facilitate the involvement of 'the broadest range of suppliers' in contract delivery.
The inquiry found that the procurement was influenced significantly by the Departments' commitment to secure savings following the 2004 Gershon efficiency review. This resulted in a cost reduction strategy which included reducing the number of contracts and letting one prime contract for each district. The effect was that the contracts were awarded to larger organisations and this excluded many third sector organisations from the outset. The Department also carried out the procurement exercise centrally rather than through local JobCentre Plus districts and this excluded any local knowledge.
The structure of the contracts drawn up by the Department created unacceptable risks for third sector organisations. The creation of 'prime' contracts for districts resulted in even the larger organisations with an annual turnover of 100 million pounds deciding that the risks were too great. The contracts also provided for monthly payment, but only for a percentage of the total price. Many third sector organisations were unable to provide the finance to support this deferred cash flow.
The Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations has called for a clear shift in Government procurement practice. The Association wants strategic commissioning and greater emphasis on added social value in contract design and evaluation. For the third sector it will promote improvement of capacity-building and partnership-building and greater dissemination of the commitments in the Office of the Third Sector's Action Plan.

Mistry, 54, was killed in a road accident on Sunday after his car hit a divider in Maharashtra's Palghar district, a senior police officer said.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed shock at Mistry's death and said he was committed to India's economic progress.

In a tweet, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, 'Saddened by the death of the former Tata Sons Chairman, Cyrus Mistry. With his untimely passing, India has lost a business visionary who still had so much left to contribute to India's economic growth. My heartfelt condolences to his family... May his soul rest in Peace.'
NCP leader Supriya Sule tweeted, 'Devastating News My Brother Cyrus Mistry passed away. Can't believe it. Rest in Peace Cyrus.'
Terming the death of the 54-year-old industrialist as 'shocking', Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said Mistry was not just a successful industrialist, but a young and visionary entrepreneur as the business world looked up to him with hope.
"His death is a loss not just for the Mistry family, but for the entire business world," Shinde said.

Banks' research program has two trajectories: 1) examining the experience of African Americans with discrimination, and mental health, and 2) diversity in higher education and intergroup relations. Related to the former, she explores the experience of discrimination and racial identity (how individuals integrate race into their understanding of who they are). The latter, which focuses on intergroup relations, is intricately linked with the first trajectory. In her earlier work on the experience of discrimination, she consistently offered as an implication the need for creating more hospitable environments. For example, on college campuses, it is essential that we not only support students of color but also educate White students about what it means to engage in a diverse environment. Therefore, Banks' work attempts to minimize the deleterious affects of discrimination while simultaneously intervening to foster increased and improved intergroup interactions.
See a selection of Banks's publications here.
Dr. Banks served as a racial equity consultant for the Ferguson Commission and has continued as the Racial Equity Catalyst for Forward Through Ferguson. Banks has also consulted with schools, communities, institutions of higher education and corporations to improve diversity and inclusion efforts and engage people in productive dialogue and action.

Thomas shuts himself off from the world and is at home grieving when a cosmic storm enters Earth's atmosphere. Scientists are baffled by its composition and origins, but not nearly as much as they are by the storm's side effect: Anyone who has died and chosen not to cross over is suddenly visible and can interact with the living. Ann does not return, but Seth does.

Welcome to the last post of my Tokyo travel! We started this day off early because we had to pack up our things at the airbnb to switch to a hotel in Nezu. Before we went to our hotel, we decided to stop by the Tokyo Tower to finally see the tower up close. Unfortunately it started raining right after we took pictures (at least it didn't rain when we were taking the pictures) so we couldn't stay too long because we had our luggage and didn't have an umbrella. After that we took the subway with our big luggage and ventured to Nezu. The hotel that we stayed at is called Hotel Graphy. Even though it isn't in the central area of Tokyo, I highly highly recommend this hotel. The facility was really clean and the workers were all nice. Plus, they gave a free drink after 5PM.
After taking a quick nap, we went to Ueno park. The moment I went to the park there was a massive crowd of people playing Pokemon GO. First of all, I downloaded Pokemon GO as soon as I landed in Japan because there isn't a server in Seoul and you can't catch them anywhere in Korea. I spent a good chunk of the trip walking around catching pokemons with my sister and going to a park was way different than playing it in the city. There were so many people and so many to catch. After spending a good chunk of time walking around with my head down on my phone, we left the park.
Next stop was Asakusa. Initially we wanted to wear kimonos and yukata but because it was so hot and humid we decided to just walk around in our regular clothes. There wasn't that much to see other than places and little shops for touristy things. We mainly just had dinner (ramen) and left. After that we went to Akihabara, where I spent money trying to win stuffed animals and getting real frustrated over it. We had to wake up early to leave for the airport the next day so we decided to call it a night from there and went to our hotel and enjoyed the nice view from the rooftop and ended our trip. The trip went by much faster than I thought it would and I feel like I didn't get to see all of Tokyo. Hopefully I'll be able to come back in the future at a time when it's not so hot and stay for a longer period.

Lincoln Recap
Monday November 15, 2021 by Nick Edgar, Jake Tandy, Jake Elorduy
This past Friday, Christian Brothers took on the Lincoln Fighting Zebras in an extremely foggy playoff matchup. Both teams fought hard throughout its entirety, despite the harsh weather conditions. The Falcons took a 21-7 lead in the third quarter, putting together multiple productive drives. The game kicked off with touchdown pass to Phillip Bell('25) from Jake Elorduy('22), after Lincoln got in the endzone on their opening drive. We then took the lead in the second quarter, with a short rushing touchdown from Jackson Burleson('22). The defense was holding their own, only allowing 7 points until late in the 3rd quarter. Ezekiel Jackson('22) and Avante Lee('22) both recovered a fumble, and Demonte Robinson('22) had a great interception as well. One of the biggest plays of the game came from Brian Shine('22) with an incredible blocked punt and was scooped up by Avante to reel in another touchdown. This would put us up 21-7 in the third, with time ticking down. The Fighting Zebras were able to bounce back with a 15 yard passing touchdown and a 59 yard rushing toucdown. This tied the game up at 21-21 in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, Lincoln took back a 75 yard pick 6 late in the game to put them up 28-21. CB had one last chance to keep their season alive, but they fell a little short, bringing their season to an end.
Our Falcons had a very interesting season, fighting with injuries and trying to bounce back to get a playoff spot. However, they were able to win the round 1 matchup against Rodriguez, even after competing with these obstacles. It's unfortunate that our season had to end like this, but they gave it their all and fought hard every day. We hope to see them come back next year, with high hopes for a successful season. Hold your heads high Falcons!

Preservation of Taj Mahal model
University Archives student assistant cleans item from collection. Photo by University Archives / UNCW.
April 27-May 3, 2014 was American Library Association Preservation Week and May is Preservation Month with loads of great information from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Preservation--also known as "preventive conservation"--emphasizes noninterventive actions to prevent damage to and minimize deterioration of a museum object or archival collection.
Monitoring and recording environmental conditions where collections are housed (e.g., light, relative humidity, temperature, and air pollution)
Inspecting and recording the condition of objects
Practicing proper handling, storage, exhibit, housekeeping, and packing and shipping techniques
Taj Mahal model in University Archives. These models are made in various sizes. This one in Archives has a base of 9 in. by 9 in.
In University Archives, we rely on our excellent student assistants to take on essential preservation and collection care responsibilities.
Allison Thompson, Archives student assistant, wore cotton gloves while carefully cleaning the soapstone model. First she dry-brushed the item with a fine brush from a collection care kit and then cleaned it with plain water using a similar brush.
For storage, she fabricated custom archival boxes and lids from ArtCareTM 100 percent cotton mat board. Boxes made of this material help create a safe "microchamber" for archival and museum objects.
This Taj Mahal mini-replica was a gift to former James Leutze upon his retirement in 2003. He donated it to University Archives at that time. Chancellor Leutze, a historian, was host of the UNC Television series Globewatch and an often-sought speaker on international issues.

Award brings conservator to UNCW to survey unique library collections
Randall Library won a grant award from the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) allowing Special Collections and University Archives to bring a preservation specialist to UNCW to assess these unique collections. The Preservation Assistance Grant (PAG) for Smaller Institutions paid for Matthew S. ("Matt") Johnson of Etherington Conservation Services (ECS) to spend March 17-21 in Special Collections and University Archives for the survey. Next Mr. Johnson will produce a written report of his findings and recommendations for improving collection care.
Mr. Johnson, Senior Rare Book Conservator at ECS in Browns Summit, NC, has been with the company since 1993. He is a 1991 graduate of UNC-Greensboro, where he earned a BFA degree in Design and Printmaking. He trained directly under renowned conservator Don Etherington. Mr. Johnson's responsibilities include staff training, project management, and advanced conservation.
The NEH PAG for Smaller Institutions helps small and mid-sized institutions—such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities—improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, or architectural plans and maps. UNCW was awarded $6,000 in January 2014 to fund the preservation assessment.

Phnom Penh Post - HRW slams NGO Law, court cases in report
HRW slams NGO Law, court cases in report
Stuart White | Publication date 28 January 2016 | 07:22 ICT
Thu, 28 January 2016
Stuart White
In what has become a yearly tradition, Human Rights Watch levelled a broadside of criticisms at the Cambodian government yesterday, accusing it in its annual report of enacting "draconian" legislation and granting itself broad "arbitrary powers" to suppress dissent.
The global report's Cambodia section details a litany of alleged abuses including, among other things, the suppression of civil society, the jailing of more than a dozen opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party activists, the mob bashing of two CNRP lawmakers and the pursuit of politically motivated court cases against party members, including leader Sam Rainsy.
"Prime Minister Hun Sen's government launched new assaults on human rights in Cambodia" in 2015, the report reads, before going on to accuse Hun Sen personally of "increasingly undermin[ing] human rights".
The government's controversial NGO Law received particular attention in the report, which characterised it as giving authorities broad powers to "arbitrarily deny NGOs registration and shut them down".
"The law is aimed at critical voices in civil society . . . Its restrictions on the right to freedom of expression go well beyond the permissible limitations allowed by international human rights law," it reads.
Also mentioned was a telecommunications law pushed through the National Assembly that, according to the report, "gives government arbitrary powers" to secretly monitor telecommunications.
The report also spends considerable time outlining government non-cooperation in the Khmer Rouge tribunal's Cases 003 and 004, and the government's repeated detention of "undesirables" at Phnom Penh's notorious Prey Speu social affairs centre.
CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann yesterday said that the report "reflects the reality in Cambodian society", and added that his party would take steps to curtail restrictive legislation once it had "enough power".
The report comes just over a year after 30 Years of Hun Sen, a HRW report that detailed decades' worth of allegations of abuses against the premier.
"Instead of devoting his time as prime minister to equitably improving the health, education, and standard of living of the Cambodian people, Hun Sen has been linked to a wide range of serious human rights violations," that report reads.
Spokespeople for the government could not be reached to respond to the accusations yesterday, however the prime minister himself has in the past accused HRW Asia director Brad Adams of being biased against him.

This will make for great reading over the holiday.
I love reading this stuff, looking forward to seeing where Schumer fits in.....he comes across as an opportunist.
I look forward to a follow up post later.
Thanks dude, great topic if nothing else!
originally posted by: The GUT
We know that the CIA has long been in the business of implanting their operatives across the political and bureaucratic landscape. Looks like Chuck Schumer is one of them and knows from experience about getting someone "Six ways from Sunday."
This is a bizarre and extremely fascinating story that starts in the very strange year of 1947…
Nick Deak, known as "the James Bond of money," founded the company in 1947 with the financial backing of the CIA. For more than three decades the company had functioned as an unofficial arm of the intelligence agency and was a key asset in the execution of U.S. Cold War foreign policy.
From humble beginnings as a spook front and flower import business, the firm grew to become the largest currency and precious metals firm in the Western Hemisphere, if not the world.
…and comes to somewhat of a conclusion in a Wall Street firm in 1985 with the gory blood-spattered bodies of a secretary and CIA bagman extraordinaire Nick Deak.
Lang had returned. Frances Lauder let out a fearful "Oh—" shortened by two bangs from a .38 revolver. The first bullet missed. The second struck the secretary between the eyes and exited out the back of her skull. Deak, fit and trim at age 80, bounded out of his office. "What was that?" he shouted.
Lang saw him and turned the corner with purpose, aiming the pistol with both arms. When she had Deak in her sights, she froze, transfixed. "It was as if she'd finally found what she was looking for," a witness later testified. Deak seized the pause to lunge and grab Lang's throat with both hands, pressing his body into hers.
She fired once next to Deak's ear and missed wide, before pushing him away just enough to bring the gun into his body and land a shot above his heart. The bullet ricocheted off his collarbone and shredded his organs.
Deak crumbled onto the floor. "Now you've got yours," said Lang.
From Homecoming Queen to Homeless Killer
A witness later claimed she took out a camera and snapped photographs of her victim's expiring body. The bag lady then grabbed the banker by the legs, dragged him into his office, and shut the door.
This is a strange and almost unbelievable spy-tale with MK-ULTRA of all things taking a role. Quite possibly a Starring role.
Where does Chuck Schumer fit in in saga that spans Lockheed bribe money to the Japanese Yakuza to Columbian Cartels and so. much. more.
One of Deak's executives, Theana Kastens, remembers dropping by 29 Broadway and seeing a freshman congressman named Chuck Schumer sitting in Deak's office chair, his feet up on the desk, rifling through papers.
CIA Operative Senator Chuck "Tears of a Clown" Schumer.
Lois Lang Most Recent Pic
Lang has been in Bedford Hills state prison ever since. Her longtime attorney is deceased. She has grown a beard like a billy goat and ignores all interview requests. Her most recent parole interview was last August. Like every previous date, she failed to attend.
This saga is an extremely wild ride that I can't even begin to convey here and must be read to be appreciated. If you do skip around make sure you don't miss the MK-ULTRA connections part.

Thank you for digging something up that is actually of interest!
Scratching around on this gentleman produces some interesting results:
Nicholas Deak, principal of Deak-Perera, a banking firm in New York specializing in precious metals and foreign exchange in the 1970s, was of Hungarian origin. He worked for OSS (predecessor of the CIA) during World War II out of his base in Switzerland. He has told me that agents operating in enemy territory were issued gold coins. Later in the Vietnam War American airmen were also issued gold coins. In each case the idea was that gold might buy them freedom in case they were captured, something that paper money would be decidedly unable to accomplish.
Deak believed that the top brass at the Fed carried part of their personal savings in the form of gold coins. They certainly appear to understand gold better than Krugman.
THE GOLDBUG, VARIATIONS IV -(direct .pdf link)
One significant organizer of the post-war global drug connection -- between CIA, organized crime, and their mutual interest in drug-trafficking -- was former OSS officer Paul L.E. Helliwell. Helliwell, who was head of the Special Intelligence branch of OSS in Kunming, and later an officer of OPC and the CIA, was simultaneously the owner of the Bank of Perrine in Key West, Florida, "a two-time laundromat for the Lansky mob and the CIA," and its sister Bank of Cutler Ridge. Here we shall see a number of interrelated mob-CIA money-laundering banks in the global drug connection, of which the greatest was undoubtedly the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
The most common explanation is that the CIA not only used the bank, but had helped develop it. Journalists Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, the authors of the definitive book on BCCI, speculated that the CIA�s relationship with its founder, Agha Hasan Abedi, might have gone back to before BCCI�s founding in 1972. They observed also that BCCI was only the latest in an overlapping series of money-laundering banks that did services for the CIA � Deak & Company, Castle Bank & Trust, and Nugan Hand.
The CIA office in Chiang Mai, when the main business of the city was opium trafficking, was on the same floor as the local office of the DEA. According to Jonathan Kwitny, "The DEA receptionist answered Nugan Hand�s phone and took messages when the bank�s representatives were out." Nugan Hand�s representative there, Neil Evans has said he was present when Michael Hand and Ron Pulger-Frame � the former Deak & Company courier who went to work at Nugan Hand � discussed the shipment of CIA money to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, and Panama. Evans has said Nugan Hand moved $50 to $60 million at a time for the CIA, and also that Nugan Hand was involved in Third World arms deals.
-- The interlocking finance company Deak & Company, founded by OSS veteran Nicholas Deak, "was reportedly used by the CIA to finance covert operations, including the 1953 overthrow of democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq."
-- The overthrow of democratically elected Indonesian President Sukarno in 1965 was achieved in part by covert assistance through Lockheed Corporation payoffs, and in part by the intervention of Sasakawa Ryoichi, a CIA agent of influence, along with his friend Kodama Yoshio, with the yakuza in Japan. Sasakawa and Kodama were also recipients of Lockheed payoffs facilitated partly by Deak & Company, and partly on the scene by Shig Katayama, whose ID Corp. in the Cayman Islands conducted mysterious business transactions with Helliwell�s Castle Bank.

I am flattered that the GUT would anticipate my interest!! 😉
Drugs are a red herring.... they may have revealed the Gate and given us glimpses into it..... but I don't necessarily believe they are what opens full access. I also believe full access should terrify anybody paying attention. 😩
Currently 69 pages deep into a 361 page dissertation from 2015, "The Revolution Will Be Videotaped: Making a Technology of Consciousness in the Long 1960s"
Tiny excerpt:
"To the acidheads of San Francisco, '___' offered the experience of melted psychological boundaries and the feeling of oneness; to rural communards, the birch-bark crib offered a way to put oneself between industry and nature, and to build an artifact that unified the two realms. In its time, the Apple-I also offered much more than a simple hobbyist's experiment. It presented a chance to repurpose high technologies and so to extend the individual's reach into the universe of information."
Though he didn't use the term, Roszak also saw this experimentation with technologies of consciousness as a distinguishing characteristic of the counterculture. "If we accept the proposition that the counter culture is, essentially, an exploration of the politics of consciousness,"
To fill the gap between the MKUltra research of the 50's-80's, the consciousness experiments at SRI and the rise of our, ahem, media "problems" of today..... algorithms, social media, Hollywood, mainstream news, increasing experiences of synchronicity and, the electric/electromagnetic universe theory.
I could be wrong, but I think super assassins like miss Lang are the tip of the iceberg...
What might a weaponized collective consciousness be capable of? Theoretically speaking of course.
If I ever get the sourced evidence to back up my speculations, and can coherently express them, you'll def. get an alert! 😉🥂
In the meantime, I have done a dig on miss Lang herself, and, as per the usual, come up pretty empty... it interests me as much to know the hidden reasons why they use particular subjects than what they use them for or why.... like it's the secret ingredient in the Milos sweet tea or something, for a silly comparison. 🤷🏼♀

Awesome thread GUT....
Are you talking about something potentially like RHIC-EDOM when it comes to MK?
a reply to: pigsy2400
When I first read about RHIC-EDOM years ago I found it rather far-fetched. Turns out the possibilities are there to at least some degree. Some of your research a year or so ago actually caused me to give that subject a fresh look in light of scientific advances---although that possibility didn't enter my mind in connection with this thread.
Having said that, I believe dominant control of personality can be achieved in a percentage of the public using an assortment of purely psychological (and less sophisticated physical) methods.
Throw in some frequency manipulation, though, and no telling what can be achieved on a mass scale. Aquino mentions some interesting research & concepts along those lines in the updated edition of Mindwar and he has also spoken a little about it here. With Aquino---a grain of salt is always handy to have in stock however---but these particular assertions seem to hold some water.
I've mentioned more than once that a forum such as this would be an ideal testing ground for all kinds of subjects we know for a fact interest the M.I.C. and for which funds are available. Narrative control, memes, etc. Maybe even frequency affects. Not just as a convenient test bed but an almost ideal one in which the unwitting subjects provide exceptional feedback.

Q: Rails, Passenger, Nginx, I get "403 Forbidden" but why? I am trying to run my app through Passenger-Nginx on port 5000
On my browser I get '403 Forbidden' and on my nginx error log:

2016/07/12 17:52:12 [error] 28924#0: *1 directory index of
  "/var/www/cava/public/" is forbidden, client: Y.Y.Y.Y, server:
  cava, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "X.X.X.X:5000"

On passenger root I use what I get from passenger-config --root but whithout the rvm.
If I use the passenger root with rvm loaded I get passenger error, but is what I did here right?
For reference my app config and my nginx.conf:
My app config
server {

    listen 5000;

    listen [::]:5000;

    server_name cava;

    root /var/www/cava/public;
    #try_files $uri/index.html $uri @app;

    # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
    #index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    #location / {
        # First attempt to serve request as file, then
        # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
        #try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    #}
}

My nginx.conf

        #}
}
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

Any help appreciated.

A: The error message stated:

directory index of "/var/www/cava/public/" is forbidden

which means that your folder has no index file, or the file that is to be treated as index.
I am not familiar with Passenger, but if you'll try to put there index.html file with content
Hello World
, it will be likely shown.

The below is not directly related to this problem, but I'll leave it here for the sake of consistency.
Solution 1
First, determine what user your nginx runs as
ps ueax|grep 'nginx: worker'|grep -v grep|cut -f1 -d' '
#⇒ www-data

or it might be nobody, but in your case it's www-data according to your conf file.
Change permissions on /var/www/cava/public:
sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/cava/public

Retry, it should work now.
Solution 2
Make your nginx be running as your user. At the very top of conf change:
- user www-data:
+ user tasos;

The latter one is probably more handy for development.
