If you're in the market for the cheapest possible Bluetooth headphones that still sound great and last a while, the Senso ActivBuds will tick most of those boxes.
Whether you're looking for a go-to set to throw into your commuter bag or a lightweight pair to wear while working out, the Senso ActivBuds will serve both purposes. At under $30, you're in no danger of breaking the bank and you still get features like IPX7 water resistance and a customizable fit. For those on a tight budget, the Senso ActivBuds are hard to beat.
We tested a pair in New York City for about a week, using it on our commute and out and about the city to test out build quality, comfort, sound, and battery life.
With bendable over-ear wings, a main body that extends backward from the ear, and the option for red accents on black construction, it's clear that Senso was aiming for the same look as the Beats Powerbeats 3 earbuds. The left and right earbuds are connected with a flat and substantial-feeling cable that measures just under two feet in length. It comes with an affixable crimping piece that lets you shorten the cable if needed. We found that the length was decent and because of the flat, tacky nature of the cord itself, wasn't easily tangled.
Those same colors are carried over onto the textured, circular, hardshell zipper case. Compared to other brands of headphones in the class, these look just okay — they are a little big, and because their aim is to emulate a more expensive brand, you'll only fool people from afar. But if you like the feel of a stabilizing wing above the ear, the construction is pretty good for the price.
Also worth noting is the fact that the Senso ActivBuds are IPX7 rated, letting them handle a rinsing under the sink and exposure to things like rain and sweat. Just don't keep them immersed in water for long periods of time.
The over-ear wings obviously serve one main purpose: to affix the earbuds to your ear and take some of the weight off the eartips. When pulled straight (and they can be pulled straight), the wings are four inches long, which is enough to cover even the biggest of ears. This was actually one of the most surprising aspects of the wings. They have an inner bendable wire that holds them strong in whatever position you contort them, meaning you can tighten them to fit your ears and they will stay snug.
We found that while the headphones are heavy when jogging (about 0.7 ounces), even though your outer ear shares the weight with your inner ear. Fortunately, the ActivBuds come with a set of three interchangeable tips. There are three sizes of opaque rubber tips, the largest being about a 1/2 inch, the smallest about 1/3 of an inch, and a final set somewhere in the middle (the ones that ship on the headphones).
They also come with a denser, half-inch foam set of tips in case you don't like the feel of silicon. All of this amounts to a pretty customizable fit that should make you almost forgive the weight. On the downside, there's no remote to be seen meaning the controls are lacking, and all of that 0.7-ounce weight goes to the earbuds themselves.
Setup was easy enough on the ActivBuds — a long hold on the logo button on the right earpiece puts it into pairing mode, allowing it to quickly show up on your device's Bluetooth list. You can also easily pair it to a second device, though it only let us play and pause music on one device at a time. Switching is seamless though. One small gripe: pressing in on a large button is a little uncomfortable when the earbuds are in your ear. We prefer the remote- or top-mounted buttons for this.
Speaking of remotes: these headphones don't have one. This caused a couple of issues when interacting with our main device. First off, you have to reach up to your ear to adjust volume or Play/Pause a track. A larger issue was, even though Senso advertises that a microphone is built into the earbuds, the few calls we conducted on these were very muffled. Some fiddling with the angle helped, but if you plan to use your earbuds for phone calls, we'd recommend picking up a pair with a dedicated remote-oriented microphone.
These headphones cover a frequency spectrum ranging from 20Hz to 22kHz. For reference, the entire spectrum that a human is capable of hearing is 20Hz to 20kHz. So, on paper, these headphones should provide everything your ears would be able to register.
In our experience with the ActivBuds, there was a lot of bass response — far more than we would normally expect from earbuds with small drivers. This was a pleasant surprise on the noisy streets of NYC, as bass is usually the first thing to get buried by the dull roar of traffic. But you do sacrifice the clarity you get from higher-dollar earbuds, as the bass and the low-mid frequencies easily swallow up the detail higher in the spectrum.
In our experience with the ActivBuds, there was a lot of bass response — far more than we would normally expect from earbuds with small drivers.
The other thing to consider is the codec — Senso doesn't clearly advertise the codec, but our tests showed that it was transmitting audio via our phones or computers using the lossiest SBC protocol, meaning a significant degradation in sound quality. It's to be expected at this price point, but it's important to keep in mind.
One last point on sound quality is to discuss the passive noise reduction included here. SENSO has loaded in Qualcomm's CVC 6.0. It isn't the same as active noise canceling, that requires a literal sound to be projected to cancel out noise. Rather, it's a protocol using proprietary algorithms to help clarify the sound and avoid some external noise. It's important to note that the tech was created mostly for noise handling during cell phone calls, and we didn't notice much reduction ourselves outside of the normal suppression simply by your ear being plugged. But, at the end of the day, the sound quality here will definitely suffice for workouts and casual commute usage.
Battery life was probably the best feature of the ActivBuds. In a lot of ways, the reliance on wireless headphones after the death of the headphone jack on so many popular smartphones has resulted in just another device for us to charge. So, in our tests, we put a high value on the battery life offered by Bluetooth headphones.
We spent about three or four days with these headphones, and we can confidently say that you'll get a ton of battery life with them.
These buds contain an 85 mAh battery that you can recharge with a short, included micro-USB cable. Senso's spec sheet lists the hours of play time at up to 8 hours of usage and up to 240 hours of standby time. They also claim that you can charge up the headphones fully in under two hours.
We spent about three or four days with these headphones, and we can confidently say that you'll get a ton of battery life with them. Obviously, the 240 hours of standby is a nice safety net, so we weren't surprised to see them last the week once we shut them off and tossed them in our bag. By our estimates, we got closer to 10 hours of music and podcast listening, and that's with high volume.
Shortcomings aside, the SENSO ActivBuds sit right below $30 at the time of this writing. A cursory search shows us that they don't often cost much more or less than that. This puts them firmly in the low end of Bluetooth earbuds that are worth buying, but with a few features that punch way above their weight. Aside from great battery life and volume, the ActivBuds even come with a few mobile accessories, like a car phone mount and a stick-on smartphone card slot. The jury is out on how good these freebie accessories are, but as a whole package, it's hard to beat this deal.
There's a strange, invisible border between "low end" and "high end" for Bluetooth exercise headphones. You're either paying $20 to $50 or $80 to $150. The fairer competition for the ActivBuds is obviously the lower range, and in that group, you'll find similar offerings from brands like Anker, Mpow, and Zagg. The Senso's have nothing special to make them stand out against the Mpow Flame which has a similar price and feature set, but by the same token, there's nothing that makes them worse either.
Want to look at other options? Read our list of the best wireless earbuds.
These sturdy Bluetooth headphones offer decent sound, good fit, and an affordable price tag.
The Senso ActivBuds do what they're supposed to and last a long time. There is little to differentiate them among other specific headphones in the range, but the build quality seems great, the fit is easily customizable, and the sound quality, while muddy, should service most music listeners.

Долина Кадиша се налази у северном Либану. Долина представља дубоку клисуру, коју је створила река Кадиша, која је када дође до Триполија позната и под именом Нар Абу Али.

Свето хришћанско место
Кадиша значи свети на арамејском. У долини се налазе старе хришћанске манастирске заједнице Блиског истока, а које су биле седиште маронитског патријарха.

Византија је оптуживала мароните да помажу монотелите, па су маронити у тој долини нашли склониште у страху од прогона. Доатада су живели у долиони реке Оронт.

Долина Кадиша налази се близу шуме `божјих кедрова`, који су представљали преживели део античких либанских кедрова, који су били најдрагоценији граћевински материјал у натичко време.

Светска баштина
УНЕСКО је ставио долину на листу светске баштине због једне од најзначајнијих раних хришћанских монашких насеобина на свету. УНЕСКО сматра да манастири долине Кадиша представљају један од најзначајнијих примера раног хришћанства.

China Box Office: 'Kong: Skull Island' Opens to Muscular $72M
27th March 2017 mustyzod
11:47 PM PDT 3/26/2017 by Patrick Brzeski
The Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment blockbuster scored Hollywood's second-largest opening in China this year.
Kong: Skull Island roared into the Middle Kingdom over the weekend, earning a muscular $72 million, according to studio figures.
The big bow gives the Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment film claim to Hollywood's second-largest opening in China this year, behind only Resident Evil's surprising $94 million February debut.
Opening on 18,000 screens, Kong easily cast Disney's Beauty and the Beast aside. BATB added $12.4 million in its sophomore outing, bringing its two-frame total to $73.4 million, according to Beijing box-office tracker Ent Group.
Kong, directed by Jordan Vogt Roberts and starring Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson, also laid claim to China's all-time biggest March launch in IMAX, with $6.5 million from 387 giant-format screens. By midweek, Kong should march past Godzilla — Warner Bros. and Legendary's last hit monster flick together — which grossed about $77.6 million in China in 2014.
Kong's greatest test will be endurance. For over a year, Hollywood tentpoles have tended to open huge and crash hard in China. But the monster movie reboot, which was co-financed by Chinese internet giant Tencent and has local marketing support from Legendary parent Dalian Wanda Group, has some good timing on its side. Kong's second weekend will coincide with China's three-day Qingming (Tomb Sweeping) Festival, a popular moviegoing holiday. The U.S. blockbuster won't have any Hollywood competition in frame two, but it will be interesting to see how it fares against Perfect World Pictures' local action-thriller Extraordinary Mission, directed by Alan Mak and written by Felix Ma (the duo behind Hong Kong classic, Infernal Affairs), and Beijing Enlight's The Devotion of Suspect X, an adaptation of a best-selling Japanese mystery novel by Keigo Higashino.
The rest of April is shaping up to be a busy season for studio releases in China. Paramount's Ghost in the Shell, starring Scarlett Johansson, will open April 7, followed by Universal's The Fate of the Furious on Friday, April 14 and Sony's Smurfs: The Lost Village on April 21.
Sources tell THR that Lionsgates' Power Rangers also has been cleared for an April release, and state distributor China Film Group is currently working on dating.

Louise Brealey discusses Molly in 'Sherlock' season 4, apologizes for her response to fan outrage
Sherlock actress Louise Brealey has apologized for getting "a bit s***ty" following abuse from online trolls and fans alike about the season 4 series finale.
In "The Final Problem" Brealey's Molly was coerced into confessing to Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes that she loved him so his crazy sister, Eurus, won't blow up her house. It was tense and not as silly as it sounds — fans were not happy.
"Loving someone after years is not reductive, retrograde, anti-feminist or weak," Brealey said. "Fight the patriarchy, not me, and read some f**king Chekhov."
The actress seemed to be a little regretful over the whole thing, and has since turned to Twitter to set things straight.
"Every day, as Sherlock rolls out across the world, I get a new wave of beautiful messages about the scene with [Benedict Cumberbatch] in the last episode," she said.
"I've never had a response like it and I can't quite believe it…"
"I had been feeling a bit shy about the fact that Molly wasn't in it much this season, so it's extra wonderful to feel your connection to her and hear that scene moved you – I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN IT!
"My head'll soon be too big to get on the plane! Thank you so much.
The actress went on to apologize for her outburst, saying she was simply being "defensive" about her much-loved character.
"Sorry I got a bit s***ty about a very tiny proportion of insults, I got a bit defensive of Molly. Daft really, I know. But it's been an unusual job."

If you think people need the threat of Hell to be good, you think they're all bad people who need a leash.
Hence the misanthropy and hatred of other religions of an alarming number of Christians.

Idk if I'd use the word "alarming." But the central point of that is there's no such thing as a good person. If someone wants to honestly claim to be a Christian, he has to acknowledge that there is no way he is a good person. I wouldn't say the numbers are alarming, but I would say it's sad that nominal Christians pride themselves in believing they are somehow better than everyone else. That is not what Jesus taught.
I tend to lean more the other direction in my belief. While I do believe that no one is good, I see no point in dwelling on it. God gave each and every human being the greatest value—human life, a reasoning mind, and freedom of will and opportunity to achieve.
As such, the kingdom of heaven is within the grasp of anyone who wants it.
I think what makes Christianity difficult is that there are those who don't want it or have the mistaken idea that it's not simply there for the taking. Some believe they could never be worthy of it, as though God would never make them worthy. There are all kinds of reasons, including the idea that God nor Heaven even exist. For whatever reason, people make the decision to reject God and Heaven.
In simplest terms, Hell is the void that remains when a person rejects everything good by rejecting salvation. It's not something reserved for "bad people" because there are no "good people." Bad people occupy heaven and hell. Lost people don't fear hell because it's not real to them—why would you expect them to be afraid of it? No Christian should ever be personally afraid of it because no Christian believer will ever go there. Christians only fear hell for lost people who are going there, and I believe there is a certain urgency among Christians to reach the lost to prevent that as much as reasonably possible.
I did grow up in the kind of church that made fire and brimstone sermons and revivals a regular thing. Even to this day I'm not a fan of touchy-feely church, either. I think either extreme uses a lot of emotional manipulation, and it's just not for me. I'm struggling to find a church home after recently making a move, but perhaps it's best to explore a number of things before deciding what to do. In the meantime, it's a worthwhile journey getting to know people and share the love I feel I've been given. I think that's really what matters most, just loving people. Anyone too preoccupied with all the hell talk I think are really missing the point.

I became disillusioned with Christians when they embraced Trumpism and claimed he was "chosen by god", clinging to the guy like the antichrist only because of the power he gave them in taking back the US government and making any excuse they could think of to justify his cruel selfish behavior.
But i also became disillusioned with wicca and the neopagan community lately after the woke movement took over and started changing the rules to suit their annoying agenda. Things like "You can't worship anyone else's pagan gods or goddesses unless you can trace them directly to your own ancestry!! !" or "You're not allowed to burn sage or use jar spells or draw this and that symbol because it's all cultural appropriation blah blah blah!! !"
And don't even get me started on the so-called feminist witches who transformed a literal Jewish Demon like Lilith who murders babies and pregant women in childbirth while sexually assaulting men in their sleep into a whitewashed benevolent 'Goddess' of feminism who fights the evil patriarchy ruling our world. These people conveniently ignore all the terrible things about who Lilith really was and are practically destroying her story. But what else would one expect other than lies from a malevolent demon trying to ensnare the minds of people foolish enough to worship her without doing real research into what she was and what she did?
I believe Lilith has played a part in destroying the trust between men and women lately. Now women don't trust men because they think they're all rapists and abusers and likewise men don't trust women because they think many women are only after their money or that they will falsely accuse them of abuse if the relationship goes south.
And for all I know she could be fueling the flames of hate between white people and People of Color and maybe even the LGBTQ community against heterosexual and cisgender people.
She is a very divisive and hateful entity and worshipping her is a terrible idea. Trust me.

There is no "good" or "bad" that judgment is indeed entirely subjective. I think all you can do is focus to attempt to hit to "least harm" in difficult moral questions. Nevertheless, there's a saying in my language that loosely translates to something like "When you bow in one direction, you moon to the other".

It reminds me of something a Native American shaman was saying in a Youtube video about how "Nature has no mercy, only laws."
We're now starting to see what happens when we break nature's laws.

"Meant" would imply there's a meaning beyond existence which I don't personally believe or see any evidence of. And if the lines are subjectively drawn by cultures then there is no universal line to agree on, so you contradict yourself in this thought to begin with, and if we truly did all agree, there would be no discussion.
I think there is a false concept where people mystify and separate natives from other human beings, where people see native people of and a part of nature and other people somehow removed and not a part. It is a false colonialistic viewpoint, we are a part always. Natives of any country aren't above and better and wiser, more connected to nature, it is a choice and cultivated skill to be connected but we can never not be a part of it. It's always been a war of brothers, not a mystical connection to earth against a religion of steel.
Nature indeed inbreeds and rapes, kills children, it has indeed invented and used the atomic bomb, and has always and does continue to feed on itself in gruesome painful ways. It can maybe evolve past some of those tactics, but if you say there's meaning in growing into a human race that does least harm, you have to also be saying it's been meaningful to do harm.
I believe so, but I don't think people want to accept that, it defies a lot of our societal rules and divulges blame to each and every one of us instead of to an individual. "Individuals" can be cut like a bad cell, removing our own responsibility in letting it get infected, distancing ourselves from how we keep getting the same wounds instead of perceiving the harmful acts as consequences of harmful acts and changing what were doing as a whole humanity. If we keep getting burns at the same place it's not wise to bandage and campaign for the sun to move, the least resistance is to move yourself to the shade, at the least to make a hat.
Like it or not is a personal preference; an alligator is not evil when it eats, that is a natural law of consequence. Nobody likes when an alligator attacks you but that is the quite natural risk of living next to alligators. To exist is to eat and an alligator eats meat to live. Now, a human can decide to not kill to live, but it doesn't. It has in fact begun to kill more than it ever had to to eat. Is that then evil? That's really where the moral qualms live, the individual cell as opposed to the entirety of society and how we as a society have created pockets of space around cells we deem outside of us, that become black holes that eat away at us all.
People forget that time is timeless. If we consume ourselves to extinction the other species are left to thrive, nature keeps thriving. Maybe in the future there will be another race of humans or similar sentient beings who don't repeat the mistakes we have, or maybe they do. Nature, timeless time will continue regardless. We are not THE center, we are each centers, all cells live a life of similar value despite our narrow perceptions. A word, "human", and human culture might die. Maybe sentience with it, probably not. We would not be the first species to go extinct. We are also not the only species evolving. If humans become more harm to life itself then it is indeed time for least harm. Life goes on regardless.
It is possible to perceive good in objective terms, though. If LIFE is your objective standard, then you can classify all things that protect, preserve, and promote it as objectively good; all things that threaten it are objectively evil.
Human survival is only possible because of rational thought as opposed to animal instinct. Animals cannot ordinarily choose to die; human beings can, however. Animals do not seek out new, inventive ways to kill each other. Human beings build machines and plumb the depths of material existence itself to efficiently exterminate other human beings in war. Animals will defend themselves to the death only when there is no other choice, otherwise fighting to protect territory and mates is hardwired into instinct and more often does NOT result in death. Animals cannot choose death. Only humans can choose to kill each other and themselves. Humans can even decide that death has a higher purpose and achieves a goal of life, to trade one's life for another. Or one can decide life isn't worth living.
And that is the root of objective good. Hedonism is objectively evil because it involves denying the rational mind. A hedonist only lives for instinctive pleasure at the cost of reason, thus isn't alive in the sense that living requires reason. Therefore hedonism is evil. Taking pleasure in the fruits of one's own labor IS rational, however, and thus objectively good. Suicide is objectively evil. Taking a bullet for your wife out of a sense of obligation and duty to her is evil (irrational). Taking a bullet because you want to avoid the emptiness of life without her is good (rational, because this isn't sacrifice. You die not because your life is worth less than hers, but because you have a personal stake in the value of her life).
I'm not saying good and evil can't be understood in subjective terms. I'm just saying it's not necessary to see good/evil as strictly subjective. The weakness of subjective good/evil is that it isn't rational, whereas objective good/evil is. Rational, objective morality's strength is that it's consistent and reliable.

This is nonsense. All you are doing is stating your personal views. You cannot objectively prove that committing suicide is evil, or that sacrificing yourself to save someone you love is irrational. You can't even prove that preserving life is objectively good. Obviously almost everyone will agree that murder is wrong, but people disagree about whether terminally ill people should be forced to continue living, which animals deserve protection, whether killing in self-defence is moral (and if so, what constitutes self-defence), whether capital punishment should be legal, whether abortion should be legal, how to weigh current people's lives against future people's lives, whether taxing people to fund life-saving programmes is moral, etc.
When you say "if life is your objective standard", you're giving the game away. It is your standard, so it isn't objective. Someone could just as easily say "my standard is freedom", or "my standard is virtue", or "my standard is goodness", or "my standard is Allah's will"... and all of them would be saying "my" standard, i.e. expressing a subjective viewpoint rather than an objective measurement. Sure, you can say "this course of action would objectively be better for growing the economy, and I consider growing the economy to be good", or "this course of action would objectively make the world more equal, and I consider equality to be good", but that doesn't mean that growing the economy or making the world more equal is objectively good, it just means that those goals are being achieved - you can't prove that those are the right goals.
Personally I don't really think moral cognitivism holds much weight. Right and wrong are ultimately pretty much the same as preferences in the arts. I'm a quasi-realist; ethical claims appear to be factual but aren't really. The belief that one's views are rational and objective is inherently irrational and subjective.

It does look very suspicious to me, this threat of an afterlife full of eternal suffering for anybody who doesn't stick to the rules that the spiritual leaders hand out. And although not all religious writings and sermons categorically say that's the way it'll be, some certainly do. Even the head teacher of my first school gave us a dash of it - she told us that if we were "good" then we'd go to heaven but if we weren't, "we aren't so sure." I suppose it might have motivated some of us to be a bit more obedient. Parents for centuries have been telling kids that some made-up monster will get them if they don't behave, and religion seems to me a way of keeping us in that childlike state instead of encouraging us to grow up and form our own opinions on morality. With religion, it's all about absolute obedience to some supposed invincible deity. Apparently if you're altruistic for any other reason, that's not good enough. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be, but I can see a reason why religious leaders would tell us it isn't. It would help them to prop up their authority. I don't think anybody ever hears directly from deities what the rules are, so a believer has to use secondary sources - i.e. priests and their scriptures. And the problem with that is that we can never be sure they're telling us the truth.
As for what morality is, I think the utilitarian explanation (maximum happiness for the maximum number of people) has a lot of merit (and it's a curiously humanist and worldly explanation considering it was touted by the Evangelicals, though that's a credit to them), though it breaks down in extreme cases and it's sometimes hard to know exactly what effect a particular bit of behaviour is going to have in terms of total human happiness. I also like the idea that an action can't be wrong if it does no harm, though again there are sometimes problems such as the question of defining harm in all cases. But I see morality as more of an emotional, instinctive thing, which can't always be easily translated into rigid, objective rules.
I found it interesting that many ancient and some current civilizations didnt think of the Underworld as a neccesarily "bad" place the way Christians view their version of "Hell".
It was simply the place where all souls were destined to go when they died. The ancients didn't spend so much time thinking about what the Underworld was like because they pretty much believed that life was for the alive and that we should all concentrate on living in the moment.
And I agree that Christians have long used the threat of Hell as a scare tactic to force 'pagans' into converting.
I would say that objective morals are PREFERRED by rational individuals and, by nature, are universal morals. Murder, initiation of force/aggression, slavery, corporate greed, etc. are examples of objectively immoral behavior because they violate objective standards of life, reason, and freedom. Objective morals are not unique to individuals.
Values, however, ARE unique to individuals. The greatest sin is never some affront to God, but rather the failure to live according to one's own values. Two men work at the same job, both making the same salary, both doing identical tasks. One wakes up early every day excited about what he gets to achieve, enjoys doing the work. The other is resigned to his work obligations, does superior work in fear of getting fired, and is counting the days until retirement. One man is happy, the other is miserable.
The miserable man is immoral because he doesn't value his work—it is simply a means to an end. He achieves much but lacks pride in it.
Both men are doing the same work, causing no harm to anyone else. There's nothing technically good nor evil about the work done in any objective sense. It simply exists. But the miserable man isn't immoral because of his personal moral standard or another's moral standard. It's his lack of values. Even if he does great work, his boss would be morally correct by firing him.
In subjective terms, you can say that what's good for one person isn't good for another. You can certainly look at it that way, but I think a view of morality based on personal values is more consistent.
That's the first time I've heard the idea that it's immoral to be miserable. In my experience, misery comes to my mind unbidden. I have very little choice about it. And if a person is unhappy, I wouldn't judge them for that. I'd want to help ease their sorrow. It's not my duty to be happy, it's just an aspiration I have. The man who enjoys his work is simply lucky.

As art museum educators become more involved in curatorial decisions and creating opportunities for community voices to be represented in the galleries of the museum, museum education is shifting from responding to works of art to developing authentic opportunities for engagement with their communities. Current research focuses on museum education experiences and the wide-reaching benefits of including these experiences into art education courses. As more universities add art museum education to their curricula, there is a need for a text to support the topic and offer examples of real-world museum education experiences.
Engaging Communities Through Civic Engagement in Art Museum Education deepens knowledge on museum and art education and civic engagement and bridges the gap from theory to practice. The chapters focus on various sectors of this research, including diversity and inclusion in museum experiences, engaging communities through new techniques, and museum and university partnerships. As such, it includes coverage on timely topics that include programs and audience engagement with the LGBTQ+, refugee, disability, and senior communities; socially responsive museum pedagogy; and the use of student workers. This book is ideal for museum educators, museum directors, curators, professionals, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in updated knowledge and research in art education, curriculum development, and civic engagement.

I highly recommend the publication for art educators as a practical guide for constructing inclusive museum university collaborative opportunities. This book offers many ideas that could be incorporated into art education pre-service practice and theory coursework.
– Prof. Jeanne Nemeth, Indiana University, USA
In this book, editors Prof. Bobick and Prof. DiCindio skillfully curate chapters that explore the roles and responsibilities that art museums can/should play in breaking down systemic power inequalities and creating public spaces for shared narratives. From reflective documentation and aspirational chapters, to theoretical and historical research, to step-by-step examples and considerations for how to engage in this important work, these case studies highlight how individuals and institutions have decentered the museum space to include community members' needs, voices, and participation. This is a recommended text for anyone interested in art museum education and the responsible development of civically engaged, mutually beneficial community partnerships and programming.
– Prof. Lisa Hochtritt, Maryland Institute College of Art, USA
Marginalized (BIPOC) students are more likely to consider careers in art if they are provided opportunities to experience a variety of art media and art-based careers. Museum-community art programs such as Discover Graphics provide opportunities many public schools cannot.
– Prof. Pamela Lawton, Maryland Institute College of Art, USA

Cleon J. Hone
Boise….Cleon J. Hone, 76, Delray Beach, FL passed away on Tuesday May 22, 2012. He was the fifth child born to Holley Eugene and Fanny Earley Hone on April 7, 1936. He lived an ideal childhood, growing up in Preston, ID. Cleon was known for his fun loving character and was always ready for an adventure. After graduating from Preston High School in 1954, he served his country for 2 years during the Korean War. He married his high school sweetheart, Dorene K Price, on September 14, 1956 and they moved to Pocatello where Cleon started his long and fruitful career with Idaho Power Co. In those earlier days, working at Idaho Power was like having a second family. They enjoyed boating, waterskiing, bowling and softball leagues. Cleon had many friends and was loved by everyone. He especially enjoyed teaching others to waterski.
Cleon had strong ties on both sides of the family. He was often the life of the party. Summers were spent boating, waterskiing, camping, and at family reunions. Holidays always meant traveling to Preston, Downey, Malad or California. In 1974 he moved his family to Boise to become an auditor and then a purchaser with Idaho Power. He later ran the BOC. They had many wonderful years raising their family and enjoying family, friends and neighbors in Boise. Years later his wife Dorene became ill with heart problems and his character truly shown. Cleon was a devoted husband and caretaker to her for many years. They loved to travel with many of those travels spent in their motorhome, and they particularly loved Hawaii. Dorene passed away January 10, 1996. After retiring from Idaho Power he co-founded a company, ISE, in Boise ID. He also worked for Anderson & Wood Construction. He was heavily involved in several charities and nonprofit organizations particularly the ARC and Idaho Central Credit Union. He later met and married Lee Jane Crawford in 1997 and they eventually moved to Delray Beach, Florida where they enjoyed the warm weather, golfing and the beach. Even though his illness kept him from doing what he wanted, he never complained and only cared about the burdens he was placing on others. He was truly a kind, gentle, giving person. He will be greatly missed by many.
He was preceded in death by his wife Dorene Kay Price Hone, his parents, his siblings Doris (Dale) Leatham, William (Marge) Hone, Jerry Hone and several nieces and nephews. Survivors are his wife Lee Jane Crawford Hone, of Delray Beach, Florida, her children Michael (Katie) Weinberg, Jodi (Trace) Adams, her grandchildren Corey, Haley and Kurt Weinberg. Will and Tyler Adams. His children Tracy Kay (Stacy) Bird, Kelly Sue (Bruce) Barfuss, Michael Cleon (Debbie) Hone, his grandchildren Chance, Alexis, Tori (Taylor) Fuez, Cody, Savannah, Carson Bird. Rachel (Del) Greenhalgh, Whitney (Russell) Wilson, Emilea Barfuss. Letitia, Cleon Hone and brothers Larry Hone and Keith Hone, sisters-in-law Kathleen (Mike) Austin, Connie (Larry) Bowman and many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 12:00 noon in the Horsley Funeral Home, 132 W. 300 N. in Malad, Idaho. Friends may visit with the family at the funeral home from 10:30-11:45 a.m. prior to the service. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Horsley Funeral Home.

Tai Chi Y4D248: Four
Tai chi to the four directions, after druidic work and Five Golden Coins. Not bad. I'm pleased with the results.
Pleased with the results, in this case, means being pleased to discover that something throws me off balance about doing tai chi four times, in four different directions. I'm used to doing tai chi facing east. I'm told there's a tradition of doing tai chi while facing south, but I never learned that, so I tend to face east because that's the important direction in the magical traditions I know.
But doing tai chi four times, in four different starting directions? I wind up visiting every corner of the room a couple of times, in a couple of different ways. When facing east, the northeast and southwest corners get a lot of attention. When facing south, the southeast and northwest corners get a lot of attention. When facing west, the southwest and northeast corners get a lot of attention. While facing north, the northwest and southeast corners get a lot of attention.
That's a lot of corners.
But it's become clear to me that tai chi is often a "most of the way around the room" practice. In the course of a tai chi movement, I generally visit a few corners again and again. The practice floats around the center of the box, and defends that central box against all comers, a little at a time.
Changing directions, though, changes the background against which one faces the imaginary opponent. When doing tai chi while facing east at the start, the Golden Pheasant movements are done facing east, too. But shift direction, and suddenly you're facing south while kicking. And this is startling, and off-putting at first. Which means 'learning to ignore' the evidence that you're facing the 'wrong' direction, and getting over one's surprise, and continuing to do tai chi at whatever speed you're doing it.
It's a useful insight — continuing to do tai chi in only one direction in a place was causing me stress and confusion when I changed direction. So changing direction more frequently should help me get over my surprise and confusion when I'm facing the wrong direction, and help me focus on doing the practice regardless of where I start.

Tybee Island is a small barrier island near Savannah Georgia. This island has a tiny town with the same name and is about 3 miles long. The island is known for some of the best beaches in Georgia as well as a town with about 3000 yearly residents and the population swells to 30,000 in the summer months. The town of Tybee may be small but it is self-sufficient and the homes of Tybee Island are just as unique and eclectic as it's fluctuating number of residents.
Tybee Island is steeped in much history and there are many homes here that reflect it. Homes on Tybee Island range from historic ones, mostly located around the famous Tybee lighthouse and Fort Screven in the north, all the way to modern coastal mansions as you move down the shore. Probably what makes up most of the eclectic homes on Tybee Island is the much noted and popular bungalows and cottages in various sizes and styles usually dotting the island in colors of pastel hues. There is even a tiny home tucked amongst the trees mid-island known as the treehouse.
To some the town of Tybee is split into two main areas. The side on the ocean which is notably most popular for vacation rentals and large breathtaking coastal homes and the intracoastal waterway side which is more known as a place where the year-round residents settle in. The inter-coastal side of the island is usually calmer weather wise and allows for some seclusion from the main thoroughfare of the highway.
The home prices of Tybee Island are equally as varied as the home styles you will find in Tybee. On the low-end of the price range you can find a small 300 square-foot home for around $89,000 to $100,000. In the mid range are the famous bungalows and cottages of Tybee priced in the $350,000 range. On the top end of the real estate scale of course are the grand coastal mansions, some with a historic past and some more contemporary and modern in style. These larger homes start at around $800,000 and go well into the $2 Million dollar bracket.
Though Tybee Island may be small and the town of Tybee quaint it is never lacking in beauty or sparkly sandy beaches. This is a great place to live for those who want to be away from the hustle and bustle and love a laid-back beachy lifestyle not too far from the city of Savannah. One thing is for sure you will need an experienced local agent to help you navigate the eclectic market of Tybee Island. Let me help you find the perfect beach home on Tybee.
Tybee Island is located on the northeastern tip of Georgia beside the Atlantic Ocean about 30 minutes or 18 miles from downtown Savannah. It is accessible along Highway 80, which passes by Wilmington Island and Whitemarsh Island on its way to the coast. Known as one of the top 10 city beaches in America, Tybee Island is practically a lifestyle all to itself with beautiful white sand beaches, glorious sun and surf and a slow-paced lifestyle that will appeal to the vacationer in all of us. Known as one of the most laid-back locations on the southeastern coastline, this charming island combines seaside nature with local delights — exquisite resorts and time-honored vintage buildings such as the lighthouse and local cottages.
While this may be Savannah's best-kept secret, Tybee Island is home to a year-round population of about 3000 residents, but many more during the beautiful summer months. Locals and visitors from all around the country visit Tybee Island. Parades and festivals, such as the Beach Bum Parade in May and the annual fireworks show each July, are very special.
Tybee island is also known as 'Savannah Beach' and is a popular tourist destination year-round but especially during the spring and summer months. There are a variety of exciting recreational activities all along the seashore as well as fabulous shopping and fine dining. Families and visitors of all ages will enjoy over 3 miles of public beaches and salt marshes teeming with unique wildlife along Georgia's northeastern coastline. Enjoy fishing off the pier, deep-sea charter fishing, festive nightlife activity and colorful characters, just as fun as the events and activities you will find.
Tybee Island is home to dozens of fantastic bungalows, country cottages, historical homes and luxury waterfront estates. Prices start at about $300,000 for a simple single-family home downtown or in one of the residential neighborhoods. Exquisite waterfront estates can range as high as $1.2 million but the average is between $500,000 and $800,000 for single-family home of 2 to 5 bedrooms and between 1500 and 3000 ft.². Of course, this is just the average and there are a variety of homes, styles, sizes and prices from which to choose.
Although Tybee Island is ideal for those who want to get away, people commuting to downtown Savannah can have quite a drive. Highway 80 is the only accessible road on and off the island. During rush-hour times, there may be significant delays due to heavy traffic.
If you are interested in learning more about this fantastic hidden treasure on Savannah's East Coast, call me today and let's get started looking at homes or just gaining information about where you'd like to live in our little slice of heaven.

now what was I thinking about ?

Mind-wandering a fact of life, study says
By Carolyn Y. Johnson
Globe Staff November 12, 2010
Regardless of what they are doing, almost without exception, people's minds wander — whether they mull over
arguments with loved ones in the shower, think about weekend plans at work, or stumble on a creative new insight on
their commute.
Everyone knows they do it, but new research by Harvard researchers, which used the iPhone to periodically interrupt
2,250 people's lives, found that about half the time, people's minds are wandering. Most strikingly, they found that
overall, people whose minds are wandering are less happy than those focused on the task at hand.
"It's paradoxical and ironic, in the sense that you would think if you leave the present, you'd go someplace better, but
people seem to go to places that make them less happy,'' said Matthew Killingsworth, a psychology graduate student
at Harvard University and lead author of the work, published today in the journal Science. He said mind-wandering
obviously has its benefits, but the research has given him some insight into his mood when he is feeling down.
In order to measure people's errant minds and moods, Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at
Harvard, took advantage of modern technology to randomly and seamlessly interrupt people's days to ask a few
simple questions. People from ages 18 to 88 signed up for a Web application that periodically sent them an e-mail or
text message to ask a simple set of questions: How happy were they at the moment? What were they doing? Were
they thinking about something other than the task at hand, and if so, were they thinking of something pleasant, neutral,
or negative?
Researchers found that 47 percent of the time, people reported that their minds were wandering. In nearly two dozen
activities reported, people's minds were wandering more than 30 percent of the time, with a single exception — sex —
in which people seemed to be both single-mindedly focused on what they were doing and happy. Overall, people were
less happy when their minds were adrift than when they were focused on the activity they were doing.
Eric Klinger, a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota Morris who began studying daydreaming and
mind-wandering several decades ago, said the finding that people's minds are untethered to their daily lives about half
the time affirms what researchers have measured in smaller groups.
"Daydreaming and mind-wandering serve a number of crucial roles,'' he said. "They're nature's way of keeping us
organized.''
The tone of the mind-wandering was closely connected with happiness — people who reported pleasant
mind-wandering were happier than those who said they were having neutral or unpleasant thoughts. But the
researchers found that people were not happier when they were having pleasant thoughts than when they were
focused on what they were doing. That resonates with messages seen in everything from self-help books to religion,
in which people are told to focus on the present, the authors said.
Mind-wandering, Killingsworth said, "might run amok, leave us distracted from the things that we're doing or cause us
to sit there ruminating on something that happened in the past that we can't change or do anything about.''
Jonathan Schooler, a psychology professor at the University of California Santa Barbara who is a leader in studying
mind-wandering, said the finding is dramatic. But he was cautious about the interpretation of the results — the authors'
statement that "a human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind.''
There may be a type of mind-wandering — repetitive, negative rumination on things people can't change — that is
detrimental. But Schooler noted that mind-wandering is critical in planning and problem-solving, and there is suggestive
evidence that mind-wandering is an important source of creativity.
"What I wouldn't want people to conclude is you shouldn't mind-wander — that it's necessarily a counterproductive
activity,'' Schooler said. "Even if there are times when mind-wandering causes one to be unhappy, it doesn't
necessarily means it's not the thing one should be doing.''
The new work is part of a larger project, seeking to understand the causes of human happiness. To participate in the

Help us send a message to our Members of Parliament that animals matter to Canadians.
75 percent of Canadians support an amendment that recognizes animals are more than property. Such an amendment could have prevented a New Brunswick man from being acquitted on multiple counts of animal cruelty for killing five small dogs with a hammer as under the law these animals did not suffer and were considered property.
Canada needs to modernize the animal cruelty provisions in the Criminal Code, close the loopholes and effectively protect all animals from acts of cruelty.
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to modernize the animal cruelty provisions in the Criminal Code to effectively protect all animals from deliberate acts of cruelty.

As an Early Childhood Specialist, Kathryn's role is to coach and supervise teachers within the program, plan and lead professional development, and make connections with families, schools, and the community.
As a busy teacher and a new mom, I used my NAEYC SaversGuide to save me money and help me accomplish a few of my errands during the holiday rush. Throughout the course of a typical workday, I grabbed coffee from a local shop, ordered a holiday gift for my director, restocked some school supplies, and ate dinner out—and managed to save over $50 while doing it! Here are the top 10 things I learned.
10. If you're an NAEYC member, you already have this perk!
I love getting bonus perks with things I already own! I recently discovered that my Amazon Prime membership includes TV, and, in an embarrassingly short amount of time, my husband and I watched the entire series of The Newsroom. When you log in to your members profile, there is a toolbar on the right that is located about midway down the screen. There is an option half way down, that says "Entertainment SaversGuide"—click on it. It is as simple as that! There's also a mobile app available for download!
9. It is quick and EASY.
Unlike the blanket I started to crochet a year ago for my goddaughter, the SaversGuide takes only a few minutes to complete, from beginning to end. I entered my zip code, and the website automatically tailored the coupons to the businesses closest to me. You can browse by category—dining, shopping, travel, and more—or search by key word or the name of a specific vendor. Plus, if you find a coupon you know you'll use, you can click "Save for later" and it goes into a special folder that makes it easy to access. With many of the coupons I used, a barcode showed up on my screen that the vendor was able to quickly scan.
We saved 20 percent on dinner at this local Grand Rapids restaurant!
I had a feeling the SaversGuide would include a few popular chain stores and restaurants, but I wasn't expecting the number I found! I viewed buy-one-get-one deals for several food chains*, including IHOP®, Blimpie®, Steak 'n Shake®, Quiznos®, and my personal favorite, Taco Bell®. My husband and I lived in China a few years ago, and it was a toss up as to which we missed more, Taco Bell® or our families. I'm (sort of) joking, but Taco Bell is definitely our go-to whenever we're in a hurry, and I'm sure we will use the coupon soon. The deals at chain stores I searched were significant, too, with savings like 20% off at Carter's®, $15 off a $75 purchase at the Gap®, and 40% off a regularly priced item at Michaels®.
Getting into the holiday spirit with Henry! We used craft materials I purchased at Michaels® to make Christmas ornaments for the grandparents. My coupon saved me $14!
Just in time for the holiday shopping crowds, Henry discovered he can get my attention pretty fast by screaming when he's mad. I spent five minutes (that felt more like five hours) dodging shoppers with a full grocery cart while Henry screamed in protest about his car seat. By the time I left the grocery store, I was sweating. I'm going to stick to online shopping as much as possible, and, thankfully, online savings are simple with the SaversGuide. The best part of these offers is that when you click on a coupon, it directs you right to the vendor's website and applies the coupon automatically. With deals like 45% off AMC® movie tickets (with unlimited use!), 20% off at Harry & David®, and 20% off orders from Shari's Berries®, the savings add up!
I saved instantly on an office gift using the SaversGuide.
6. It includes local places.
I was surprised to see so many local businesses included in the SaversGuide! There are numerous coffee shops, restaurants, hair salons, exercise facilities, and car service stations to choose from. I prefer to support local businesses when I can, so I was pleased to find such an assortment! I've already saved $5 on coffee, $7 on my total bill at a local restaurant, and $10 at the Grand Rapids Art Museum!
5. It is fun to browse the coupons!
As a new mom, I spend a lot of time breastfeeding. In the middle of the night it can be hard to stay awake, sitting in the dark while my baby nurses. A few key social media sites, news sources, early childhood blogs, and now browsing the available coupons in my SaversGuide keep me from falling asleep on the job!
4. You can save on local entertainment!
Grand Rapids is known for its art scene—we host an annual international art competition called Art Prize where more than $500,000 is awarded. We also have a lovely art museum located in the heart of downtown. I was pleasantly surprised to see I could get up to two adult admissions at 50% off the regular price with the SaversGuide! Discounts on movie theaters, museums, golf, and sporting events make nights out more affordable!
Henry's first trip to the art museum! We only had to pay for admission for one adult, thanks to my NAEYC SaversGuide!
3. It helps you make friends.
Bringing food to the office is a way to earn instant rapport. When I walked into my meeting with a bagful of bagels, my coworkers practically cheered. I used a buy-one-get-one coupon to buy a dozen bagels for my office from a local bagel shop. I saved $7, and the bagels were a big hit.
Early childhood professionals enjoying the bagels I brought to the meeting.
The lady in grey is fellow YPAC member and Young Children author Ashley Karsten!
2. It helps spread awareness of NAEYC and what we stand for as an organization.
As I was purchasing the bagels, I pulled up the coupon on my phone, which the cashier was able to scan to redeem. The woman asked where the coupon came from, and I had a chance to explain how I was part of an organization called the National Association for the Education of Young Children. She asked if I was a teacher, and I told her about the preschool program where I teach, which is free for families that qualify. She was very interested in learning more, because she had a three-year-old granddaughter who sounded like she'd qualify for the program next year!
1. You can save a lot of money!
I knew I wanted to pick up coffee to give my mom when I dropped Henry off at her house. (I'd gotten about four nonconsecutive hours of sleep the night before, due to a teething baby. My "want" for coffee was borderline "need".)

[Pangyo Tech] DEEPX to Contribute to Create a Society Driven by Superintelligence Through Development of Domestic NPU Chip
Oct 5, 2021 | Technology
The system semiconductor technology is at the core of the application of AI technology in various electric devices.
LOS ANGELES, CA, October 05, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — In 2021, 5 years after the Alpha go Shock in 2016, the AI technology has become a fact of life contrary to the fears of AI depicted in SF movies early on.
The system semiconductor technology is at the core of the application of AI technology in various electric devices. In the fourth industrial revolution era where every new technology is developed overnight, the system semiconductor market is also facing waves of change.
Until a simple operations management for self-driving, AI, deep-learning, bitcoin mining has become important, CPU(Central Processing Unit) was a major component and GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) was supplementary when it comes to system semiconductors. However, things have changed. Now, AP(Application Processor) equipped in smartphones, GPU which processes graphics and NPU(Numeric Processing Unit) which resembles the human brain are drawing attention.
NPU can be translated into "Numeric Processing Unit". NPU is a device that performs a complex matrix multiplication of Deep Learning that uses Deep Neural Network. Because NPU can perform calculations faster than CPU and GPU, NPU is the more optimal system semiconductor to perform calculations in creating AI.
Today, I sat down with Kim Nok-won CEO of Deepx, an NPU processor specialized company at Pangyo Techno Valley Start-up Campus and listened to what he had to say about "the NPU technology".
Q1. Self-introduction and company introduction
CEO Kim Nok-won: After working at IBM, I worked as a chief researcher at Apple for three years and was as a key AP developer of "iPhone X". And I published a paper entitled "deep-learning accelerator" in a world-renowned journal in the field of artificial neural network.
Deepx is an AI technology company for application of "edge". It is developing NPU, Neural Processing Unit for application of IoT and edge device for the first time in South Korea. Based on its technological prowess, Deepx is making efforts to provide a high-performance, low powered and low cost embedded AI solution.
Q2. Characteristics of our NPU
CEO Kim Nok-won: We are trying to apply the AI technology to a small device. Generally, creating an electric device that is equipped with high-performance AI technology requires hardware and software. If the existing CPU or GPU are mounted, the size of device suffer limitations. That's why we have focused on the NPU technology in order to create a size that is suitable for small devices and operate in a low power mode.
If a product that shows the best performance among other companies' NPU chips can process 3,000 images in a second, the NPU technology of DEEPX boasts twice the performance and its size small enough for a small device to be applied.
Q3. Which areas do you want to apply your NPU chip?
CEO Kim Nok-won: We are planning to apply to self-driving robots, cars and drones. Take drones. When users enjoy outdoor leisure activities, drones recognize users and follow them taking pictures and filming videos. When they are applied to surveillance cameras in the parking lot, 24/7 filming is not necessary any longer like surveillance cameras do and drones only recognize and film moving objects. This allows us to focus on moving objects while reviewing the filmed video and security functions increase and cctv storage space can be used more efficiently.
Q4. Why the company is located in Pangyo
CEO Kim Nok-won: There are many IT companies in Pangyo which leads to an increase in demand of companies and it is easy to read trends in the industry. Also, I believe it is the perfect place to find young developers. Pangyo can be likened to a hub of numerous start-ups with its excellent environment for business development. Companies can grow hand in hand with others while working with them. Therefore it is a place of great potential as a CEO running a business.
In the meantime, Kim Nok-won CEO of Deepx created the company with an aim of contributing to creating a society driven by superintelligence where cognitive skills of IoT devices which would outnumber human population in the future are on par with those of humans. We are focusing on the development of low-powered AI hardware processor, AI algorithm optimization technology, AI application services and we are developing a technology that can be applied to self-driving cars, drones and home appliances.
Pangyo Technovalley is an innovation hub for global companies comparable to the Silicon Valley in the US, Zhongguancun in China, and STATION F in France.

President Trump, admitting he came into office wanting to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, said Monday he had changed his mind and had approved what amounted to an open-ended military commitment to prevent terrorist safe havens there.
"My original instinct was to pull out, and historically I like following my instincts. But all of my life I heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office," Trump said, in a rare acknowledgment of the unique pressures and vantage of his office.
"The consequences of a rapid exit are both predictable and unacceptable," Trump said, adopting the rationale that his predecessors, Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, had used to justify 16 years of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan.
"A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists — including ISIS and Al Qaeda — would instantly fill, just as happened before Sept. 11."
Trump's speech — in a televised prime-time address before an audience of troops at Ft. Myer, across the Potomac River from Washington in Virginia — marked a shift to a much more traditional Republican foreign policy by a president who ran for office disparaging what he often referred to as the "stupid" decisions of the past.
Although he campaigned on pulling back U.S. involvement overseas, Trump's green light to send additional troops to Afghanistan means the president has now increased the military's role in every combat theater he inherited — Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Somalia, as well as Afghanistan.
Reading from a teleprompter in sober tones, Trump did not provide details for increased involvement, saying he would publicize neither troop levels nor timetables for deployment. But his military advisors are seeking 4,000 more troops, a 50% increase, and stepped-up counter-terrorism operations.
Currently, there are about 8,400 U.S. and 5,000 North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops in the country, advising Afghan security forces. Some NATO allies have also pledged to send more troops. The American troop levels are down from a peak of more than 100,000 during President Obama's first term.
Trump said he would not provide a "blank check" for U.S. support to Afghanistan's government. But he also said he would not adhere to any schedule or specify benchmarks for when U.S. involvement might end.
He also fired a strong rhetorical volley at an erstwhile U.S. ally, Pakistan, which he accused of providing a safe "harbor for criminals and terrorists." By contrast, he offered warm words for Pakistan's long-standing rival, India, with which he said the U.S. would "further develop its strategic partnership."
Committing thousands more troops to the nation's longest war presents a new political challenge for the president at a time when his public approval — and credibility — has been damaged by a succession of missteps and misstatements in his young administration. Americans by and large are divided over the war and its effectiveness.
With his decision, Trump is in the awkward position of taking ownership of a conflict he has long criticized.
His shift signals the influence not just of Pentagon commanders, led by retired Marine general and now Defense Secretary James N. Mattis, but of the current and retired generals whom Trump has brought into the White House — in particular H.R. McMaster as national security advisor and John F. Kelly as chief of staff. And it reflects the waning influence of the nationalist faction that had been led by White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, who was ousted Friday but had advocated a retreat from long-standing alliances and expensive commitments overseas.
His position drew praise from some frequent critics, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who called it "a big step in the right direction" that was long overdue.
Calls for more troops and money will almost certainly run into resistance from an unusual but consistently strong coalition of liberal Democrats and libertarian-leaning Republicans who reject a muscular military presence overseas.
On Monday, hours before Trump's address, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was among deficit hawks reminding the president of the opposition he would face from the Republican far right.
Massie wrote on Twitter: "In addition to $ trillion+ war, we've spent $113 billion rebuilding Afghan … that's 2x our own $50 billion annual federal highway spending!"
Lawmakers may have difficulty approving more funding for the new strategy if the administration sends a supplemental spending request to Capitol Hill this fall. Senators, in particular, have made it clear they will require a more fully developed strategy before committing to more troops; the question now is whether Trump's remarks meet that test.
McCain recently outlined his own plan out of frustration with Trump's delays, and senators were preparing to debate it when they return from their August recess next month.
Congress is also under pressure to revisit its nearly 16-year-old authorization for the war, approved after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Backers of a new authorization, which might put limits on the president's discretion, have increasing momentum amid concerns about broader military entanglements abroad — concerns that candidate Trump had stoked. Trump's move almost certainly will spur their effort.
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia on Monday said that both the Obama and Trump administrations had failed to outline a clear strategy for the region.
Kaine, on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday, cited an early failure "by everybody to say, 'OK, what's the continuing rationale for being here?' " He added, "What we need to do is make sure Afghanistan isn't a breeding ground for things that can come back and hurt us."
After lawmakers hear Trump's plans, "we're going to be kicking the tires about it when we come back in September," Kaine said.
Trump made his decision over the weekend after a meeting with his military advisors on Friday at Camp David.
He was presented with three options, according to a former national security official familiar with the internal administration deliberations: scale back to a skeletal presence; deploy only a robust counter-terrorism operation headed by Joint Special Operations Command and the CIA; or increase troop levels by 4,000 to 5,000 while at the same time increasing counter-terrorism operations.
Trump seems to have chosen the third option. Bannon was said to have favored a fourth idea, using private contractors to fight alongside Afghan troops.
The troop increase in Afghanistan is supposed to create more time for training Afghan forces and bolstering Afghan government institutions. Yet the administration is ill-equipped for the enhanced mission: The State Department has not filled key senior positions that would be in charge of handling the Afghanistan and Pakistan portfolios. Trump still has no U.S. ambassador in Kabul, the Afghan capital.
"No amount of denial, exaggeration and obfuscation by State and USAID can substitute for a concerted effort to deal with the civil side of the war," Anthony Cordesman, a former civilian advisor on past Afghanistan strategy reviews, said in a new report for the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Put bluntly, half a strategy is not better than none."
Trump's plan to boost troop levels by 50% after the drawdown of the Obama years was recommended by his military advisors, including Mattis and the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Army four-star Gen. John W. Nicholson.
As much as he would like to signify a break with his predecessors, Trump, in effect, is following strategies similar to those of Presidents Bush and Obama, to work more closely with Afghan security forces and target Taliban leaders moving over the mountainous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Militants serving the Taliban, Islamic State and other militias have wrought more violence and instability in Afghanistan over the last year, increasing pressure on Western forces brought in to bolster overmatched Afghan security forces.
Trump's public salesmanship in the life-and-death matter could be undercut by reminders of his own past views on Afghanistan.
"We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let's get out!" Trump tweeted in 2013, in one of several similar statements he made that year.
The U.S. has spent more than $840 billion on the conflict in Afghanistan since 2001, according to the analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Other estimates put the cost of the conflict in Afghanistan at more than $1 trillion.
Although Trump vocally criticized Obama's plans for Afghanistan in 2013, during his 2016 presidential campaign he largely avoided the subject, speaking more often about the need to win wars, while disdaining efforts at nation-building abroad.
Meanwhile, many Americans share the skepticism that Trump previously expressed about Afghanistan. In a December 2014 poll by ABC and the Washington Post, for example, respondents by 56% to 38% said that "considering all the costs to the United States versus the benefits," the war had "not been worth fighting."
Within his own party, however, Trump's previous skepticism was not so widely shared. Liberals and Democrats were the most likely to doubt the usefulness of American involvement in the war. Among Republicans, opinion was the mirror image of the national view — 56% said the war had been worth fighting and 38% said it had not been.
Despite the skepticism, however, a majority of those surveyed at that time supported keeping 10,000 U.S. service members in Afghanistan to train and assist that country's security forces. That figure is not far from the approximately 12,400 U.S. troops that will be in the country under Trump's proposal.

Introduction to Symposium
1984. "Introduction to Symposium", Conodont Biofacies and Provincialism, David L. Clark
Most biostratigraphic schemes for conodonts (and other fossils) are based on a combination of geographically separated stratigraphic sequences that contain abundant fossils. In developing biostratigraphy, generally little attention is given to identification of lithofacies that yield the fossils. Many sections in western North America include a mixture of sediments that represent a variety of marine environments. Such a stratigraphic mix of environment types yields a vertical sequence of fossils that represent a range of environments. Geographically separated but chronologically similar sections containing different environmental sequences may produce different sequences of fossils within a similar stratigraphic framework. Because of this, biostratigraphic schemes for similar age sequences may differ.
Lower Triassic biostratigraphy in western North America is based on study of rock sequences that represent a variety of transgressional and progradational sediments. The "standard" Lower Triassic conodont zonation that has emerged is real, even usable, but includes conodont species representing a range of environments from shallow inner shelf to deeper basinal. This ecologic mix has utility simply because most comparable Triassic rock sequences are also a mix of lithofacies, and at least some of the conodont species in the "standard" can be found in any other section. Because certain conodont species probably were more sensitive to a narrow set of environmental parameters than has been realized, application of the ecostratigraphy concept may develop actual conodont biofacies biostratigraphy, a different biostratigraphy for each definable position along an environmental gradient.
