This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
General Public License.
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
of using an interface provided by the Library.
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
Version".
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
choice, if you do both of the following:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
conveyed under the terms of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the

Linking stunnel statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on stunnel. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holder of stunnel gives you permission to combine stunnel with free software programs or libraries that are released under the GNU LGPL and with code included in the standard release of OpenSSL under the OpenSSL License (or modified versions of such code, with unchanged license). You may copy and distribute such a system following the terms of the GNU GPL for stunnel and the licenses of the other code concerned.
Note that people who make modified versions of stunnel are not obligated to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives permission to release a modified version without this exception; this exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which carries forward this exception.

Street Spirit Justice News and Homeless Blues
Features May 8, 2016
A Parent's View of Homelessness
My son lives on the streets of Oakland. Legs painful and swollen, health compromised by Hepatitis C and heart damage, he pushes a cart full of other people's trash in the darkest hours of the night.
Jason Witt is a homeless recycler in Oakland — and the son of Marjorie Witt. He tows a car-sized load of trash to Alliance Recycling, hoping to earn enough to survive another day.
by Marjorie Witt
You wake in the middle of the night to the sound of somebody rustling through your garbage can. You get out of bed, peek through the window blinds, and see the disheveled white man, hands blackened, calloused, the size of boxing gloves. You watch as he loads cans into one garbage bag, glass into another, and balances the bags on the sides of his shopping cart.
He finds the pizza left over from the party you hosted a week ago and eats it with ravenous appetite. He reaches further down, retrieves your old baggy jeans and puts them on over his layers of clothes. As he walks away, his gait falters and you may think he has the unbalanced shuffle of a drunk. You return to your bed and listen to the fading clamor of glass and metal as the cart rolls on to the next dumpster.
The man is my son. He's 42 years old and has lived on the streets of West Oakland for four years. Legs painful and swollen tight under baggy jeans, he lumbers down the streets in the darkest hours of the night, towing that shopping cart with a car-sized load of other people's trash.
He turns the trash into money at Alliance Recycling, hoping to earn enough to survive another day. At dawn he returns to his home — a lean-to of plywood and tarps behind the freeway, away from the majority of the homeless. He is an outcast even here among his peers.
Our son was raised in a middle-class home within a wealthy community. He struggled with the haughtiness of his peers, failed to meet the standards of one of the best school districts in the area, and looked for a way to escape. Not able to change his physical environment, he found a way to change his mental environment.
He discovered drugs — on the streets of Lafayette. By the time he was 14, he was in a drug rehab program, followed by years of family therapy. Nothing worked. He dropped out of school, couldn't hold a job and couldn't stay out of trouble.
Trying to live with addiction ripped the family apart. Tired of drug dealers knocking on the door, middle-of-the-night rampages, and fearing for our safety, we needed to let him move on. For years, we found places for him to stay — mobile homes, apartments, a house in West Oakland, a van, a car. Each time he faced eviction for one reason or another.
Our resources have diminished to the point where our help is no longer possible. Our son refuses to stay in a shelter or go to another rehab facility. We can't force him.
Jason Goodwin (at far right) with his community of friends and fellow recyclers at Alliance Metals in West Oakland.
"There are too many rules and restrictions," he says. "I don't need that kind of help."
It's denial of the disease that prevents recovery. His denial is further complicated by a severe head injury sustained when he was hit by a semi-truck.
One day he tells us he is content to be living on the streets. The next day he begs to live with us. This is not an option. We cannot live with his hoarded trash, lapses of sobriety and uneven temperament. He cannot live with our ideals, restrictions and rules. I keep my distance, physically and mentally, for my own well-being.
My relationship with our son is tenuous, careful and cautious, hinged on years of conflict. I am heartbroken when I see our son. This sad unkempt man is not the happy fastidious child we raised. I have grieved the loss of that child for nearly three decades. His sky-blue eyes are now sunken behind the gaunt mask of his hardened face, his breath reeks the odor of rotten teeth.
His immune system is compromised by Hepatitis C and heart valve damage from endocarditis, resulting in frequent hospital visits. These are the most difficult times. Each time he is hospitalized, we visit and we wonder: will this be the last time?
When he is well enough by the standards of our government's policies, he is forced to leave the hospital without a follow-up plan. With nowhere to go but the streets, he struggles until the next time — sometimes days later, sometimes months later. We wait for the next phone call.
I watch as my husband's health declines. He chooses to stay connected with daily trips to Oakland, ensuring our son gets his methadone dose and a hot breakfast, bringing him home to bathe when his body oozes with infection. Too many missed daily appointments at the methadone clinic results in removal from the program. The addict ends up in withdrawal and seeks street drugs to ease the pain, exacerbating the problem.
This is not only our story. Every one of those homeless people that you see has a family somewhere. Homelessness, like addiction, affects the entire family.
We live with guilt when we sit down at the family table with the empty chair and as we tuck ourselves under warm covers on a cold and stormy night. Holidays and birthdays go by with regrets. What could we have done differently? We know we did the best we could, but the guilt still haunts us.
What can you do? Advocate for the poor. Help to keep the recycle centers open. When you see a homeless person, talk to him (or her). Remind them there are people who care. Acknowledge them.
Share what you can, even if it is only a smile. Spare change, food, toiletries, even clean socks can be a Godsend. I have a cousin who buys a new jacket before it's needed and finds a homeless person for his old one. He was homeless once. He knows.
Remember—there is no guarantee that you will always have a roof over your head.

Redemption Rises on the Midnight Streets

The Florida Keys are composed of a chain of islands together spanning 110 miles. Each island in the Florida Keys offers unique qualities. Key Largo offers closest proximity to the mainland for convenience and services yet famous for diving and snorkeling. Key West at the other end of the island chain has the opposite effect allowing one to be most remote from the big cities where you can hideaway in a unique and cultural city. There are quite a few islands that fit between these extremes offering shades of different island life. Waterfront exposure or accessibility to the ocean or gulf must be considered. Distance to bridges and bridge clearances may or may not be important. Fishing, diving, island life, schools, hospitals and communities are all factors to consider when selecting the right location or neighborhood to focus on when searching for real estate in the Florida Keys. Once these issues are prioritized and blended within the real estate budget, one can begin a proper real estate search. Definitely a visit, vacation or extended stay is a good idea for becoming familiar with the wonderfully unique Florida Keys and its constantly moving inventory of properties for sale.

Revisiting a Classic: Christ in Concrete
Life is treachery. Art is where we reexamine suffering.
Pietro di Donato's first novel, Christ in Concrete is a mirror to the injustice that Southern Italian immigrants and their children were subjected to in surviving an America on the brink of the Great Depression. Driven by a raw, uncompromising narrative, the reader is submerged into a brutal New York City-esque world bound between tenement housing and Job. That's Job with a capital 'J,' a punishing master, and seemingly unavoidable fate in the lives of working men.
It is in Job where the novel first unfolds, centering on the story of foreman, Geremio, a native of Abruzzo, who is buried alive in concrete when the building he's helped put up, collapses, due to unheeded safety regulations and the careless incompetence of Murdin the overseer. Di Donato captures the slow agony of Geremio's death with such excruciating detail, that one cannot help but believe that he is paying tribute to his own father, a construction worker who perished in much the same fashion.
Christ in Concrete could be described as a coming-of-age novel in the most brutal sense. After the savage death of his father, followed swiftly by the birth of his mother's eighth child, twelve-year-old Paul is overwhelmed with the burden of his family's miseria. Despite approaching what are supposed to be the public resources of his community--the police, the welfare office, the church--Paul finds zero compassion or charity from those he encounters for help. In fact, the only thing that Paul gains from these interactions (outside of a sliver of strawberry shortcake that the priest offers in a grand gesture of generosity) is the knowledge of the whereabouts of his father's body, which went missing when the building collapsed. The police are quick to deliver this information with supreme insensitivity:
"What?--oh yeah--the wop is under the wrappin' paper out in the courtyard!"
Geremio's family is denied any support from the government since he'd only "taken out his first papers" at the time of his death, and is therefore not considered a full-fledged American citizen. Paul has no choice but to assume his father's role as breadwinner, working at the same construction site where his father was killed. Though the labor is demanding and fraught with violent risk, Paul enters into a community of Southern Italian men who essentially father him. Nazone, who deeply empathizes with the boy's situation, appoints himself as Paul's Godfather, and helps secure him a place in Job, despite the unwilling "corporation" in charge that wants no part of a child's services.
Pietro di Donato by Eve Arnold
Though slighted of his rightful pay, Paul works diligently, fighting to keep up with the other bricklayers, until he overexerts himself and collapses from heart strain. Ravaged by nightmares that echo Raskolnikov's delirium from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Paul recovers. During his recovery, he wanders the streets of his Tenement neighborhood, silently observing the other children and various immigrant families that are all packed in together in a dismal ghetto. An awakening begins. For Paul is coming into consciousness of his position, he is processing the realization that he belongs to a people disenfranchised by a class system designed to keep them oppressed. This truth is further enunciated when he, his mother, Annunziata and the entourage of his siblings attend the hearing at the Workman's Compensation Bureau to fight for Geremio's death benefits. It quickly becomes obvious that Murdin and the board hold the same agenda. In spite of the evidence that Murdin is to fault for the building's collapse, Geremio is still found accountable for the accident and the case is dismissed. Paul and his family struggle to understand the reasoning behind this, but their weak grasp on the English language, coupled with their lack of resources and proper legal representation keep them silenced. They cannot comprehend the politics of the system in place, and therefore blame themselves. Yet the significance of this event is not lost on Paul, in how he notices the others around him:
"People, poor people. And their faces pulled at Paul's heart. Their eyes and lips said, we are the battered poor, poor stupid poor, we are the maimed and crippled and bandaged and blind workers who can not speak and are led and pushed through these corridors like subways corridors and into chambers where we understand nothing."
It is intriguing to note that it is not just Paul who recognizes, but is unable to voice the injustice of his socio-economic class struggle. The genius of the narrative is its tendency to dip in and out of the psyches of the many characters involved, in such a seamless fashion, much like Virginia Woolf's writing style in To The Lighthouse or The Waves. For instance, earlier in the novel, one of the bricklayers, a man who dies alongside Geremio, possesses "a voice within him [that] spoke in wordless language. The language of worn oppression and the despair of realizing that his life had been left on brick piles."

Once again, this man has neither the language nor the sense of empowerment to articulate his feelings, and perishes, knowing he's been cheated.
Paul finds refuge in an unlikely friendship with his young Jewish neighbor, Louis, who escaped Russia with his family after his older brother was murdered at the start of the Bolshevik Revolution. What attracts Paul to Louis? It is no surprise that Louis is reading Thorstein Veblen's The Economic Theory of the Leisure Class, when Paul first engages with the boy. Louis understands that the path to empowerment is through education. He has, thanks to the traditions instilled in his upbringing, access to books and an intellectual dialogue that will allow him to transcend class and change his financial situation, therefore improving his quality of life. Yet Louis also senses the great intelligence and sensitivity in Paul, along with the common wound of heartbreaking loss that they both share. Louis later accompanies Paul and Annunziata to pay respects at Geremio's grave on Memorial Day. When he discovers that Paul is leaving school to continue working, Louis tearfully begs Annunziata to prevent this from happening, even offering to tutor the boy to help him advance:
"Paul, the job is not freedom. Your wonderful brain is freedom," he says. But neither Paul nor Annunziata are in a position to take Louis up on his help. "No one brings us food," Paul explains. "Job is freedom…for us."
Though Paul continues working on various Job sites, eventually becoming a master bricklayer, he does attend night school, an aspect he keeps to himself, to shield himself from the jealousy and bitterness of those other bricklayers around him, who occasionally voice their own regrets about not attending school. Paul views his fellow laborers through a lens of deep sensitivity and compassion. He recognizes how men are so dehumanized by Job that they essentially become Job:
"And the faces about him looked like this kind of a job and that kind of a job…man's flesh lent itself completely to the balanced delirium of building."
Of course, la miseria of the people is punctured by moments of intrigue and overwhelming joy. Annunziata and Paul frequently visit a psychic called The Cripple, who feeds people hope with the messages she receives from the dead. Church is where these people, especially Annunziata, draw their strength from, as "the poor's Christ" is the only real refuge this society is willing to offer. It is interesting to note that the only instances of finery those are able to indulge in occur during moments of religious service; Geremio's funeral and Christmas Mass are housed in such silk and gold-embodied splendor that the poor are at once engulfed in, but kept at a safe distance from.

It is from one another that people really draw their strength from. The stronghold of family drives Paul's noble, if not passionate, devotion to his mother and the responsibility as provider. What cements these people together is the rich sense of community that the paesani foster together. When given the opportunity to experience real joy, the people indulge in it to the extreme, perhaps to grotesque proportions. Uncle Luigi's wedding is a brilliant portrayal of this. Though he loses a limb to an accident at Job, Annunziata's brother goes on to find great happiness with the widow, Cola, much to the joy of his friends and family. Men and women come together, pressing grapes by foot to make wine and preparing the wedding feast. There is a magical moment when Uncle Luigi appears before the guests, standing upright on a mechanical leg, and seems to be transformed back to his old self, before the accident.
But amidst celebration, dancing the Tarantella and indulging in rich foods and wine, something more precious unfolds. The men begin to share stories with one another, stories from Abruzzo, about the people and life they once knew. Paul is given the tale of Pietro the Wild, his grandfather, a story that brings alive the traditions and folklore of his people. Folklore embodies the traditions and practice that make up a people and their cultural identity. The Southern Italian tradition thus lives on in Paul, the youth, and carries with it the promise that this culture will live on for another generation.
On a more contemporary level, Tony Ardizzone's brilliant novel, In The Garden of Papa Santuzzu, champions the power of storytelling and folklore, and why it is the key to keeping the Italian culture alive.
Christ in Concrete is driven by a narrative free of sentimentality. Di Donato writes in a verismo style that the likes of Sicilian realist writers like Giovanni Verga and Leonardo Sciascia would approve of. The narrative that at times becomes abstract in its depictions of the everyday lives of Paul and his community, producing vivid impressions that read as a montage of sounds, tastes, violence, emotions and language that fluctuates between the crude and the poetic. While this style may not be entirely convenient for the reader, the intensity of the narrative is one that gets you by the throat and does not let go until the novel's very surprising and tragic end.
It is clear that the death of his father was not the only force driving Di Donato to write Christ in Concrete. He carried the weight of the socio-economic disparities that kept Southern Italian Americans poor and uneducated on his shoulders. His passion to represent the grit and struggle of his people and their time in history unfolds with such honesty that the outcome is at once painful and haunting to endure.
Christ in Concrete is by no means an easy read. But it is an essential read for all those who wish to understand the roots of Italian Americana, on a historical and cultural level. Reading this book is a gift in the education that it offers. You won't walk away from it without being affected first.

Government CIOs focusing more on analytics — those who aren't will 'fall behind'
Written by Betsy Foresman
Jan 24, 2019 | STATESCOOP
There is growing recognition among government CIOs that all levels of government are evolving to be better organizers and supervisors of public data, a new survey suggests.
Government CIOs have begun to focus increasingly on high-level data use, Rick Howard, a VP analyst at Gartner, told StateScoop, and "those who are not managing [data] well and treating it as a valuable asset are going to fall behind."
Published by research company Gartner on Wednesday, the survey showcases data collected from 3,102 CIOs in both public and private organizations, across 89 countries, including more than 500 government CIOs.
According to the report, 27 percent of government CIOs ranked artificial intelligence and machine learning as the top game-changing technology, and 22 percent ranked data analytics as the number two technology.
By using data to predict behavior patterns, government services can offer solutions to local challenges, Howard said. "We really can do a better job anticipating your needs or responding more quickly to that changing environment through the use of analytics and through the use of AI."
Among government respondents, the survey found 10 percent have already deployed an AI solution, 39 percent intend to deploy in the next one to two years, and 36 percent intend to deploy an AI solution within the next two to three years.
Howard said trends in the survey data help "[governments] benchmark against other tiers of government." And in terms of digital services, the report helps organizations answer the question, "Are we way out of bounds or are we ahead?" Howard said.
Government organizations can also use the data to compare themselves to other industries. By and large, government is a service provider, Howard said, and as a result, it is important for government CIOs to keep an eye on the priorities of other industries to understand their approaches to data and digital services.
"There is a lot of focus on better data management practices, data quality, availability, and analytics," Howard said.
Data analytics and information security tied for the number one spot among government priorities for technology investment, according to the survey. Yet government is still lagging behind other industries in scaling and refining digital initiatives. The data shows that 17 percent of government CIOs plan to increase their investment in digital business initiatives, compared with 34 percent of CIOs in other industries.

Obama: The Disciple of Saul Alinsky Leads America Towards Full Blown Socialism
Posted by Raising Up A Standard on January 31, 2014 at 9:58pm
In the previous article, we looked at 8 rules that Saul Alinsky laid out in his book Rules for Radicals. Barack Obama has been following those rules one by one. However, there are other rules that follow in the book. One rule, mentioned by Glenn Beck, was rule 12 and that one rule seems to be one of the most workable rules that President Obama has used to the max! That rule is as follows:
Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Now understanding rule 12, one can see that Obama has used this rule in ways that no other sitting President ever used against the people of the United States! How many times has Obama come out and picked a target, focused on that target and took action on that target? Surely we all have seen the ways that Obama had links back to the White House with the IRS action against the Tea Party and other conservative groups. Now Obama has set his sights on anyone that questions him. Now many would like to know just who is Saul Alinsky? That is a great question and the answer will be surprising to some who do not understand what is going on.
Saul Alinsky:
Identified a set of very specific rules that ordinary citizens could follow, and tactics that ordinary citizens could employ, as a means of gaining public power
Created a blueprint for revolution under the banner of "social change"
Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Born to Russian-Jewish parents in Chicago in 1909, Saul Alinsky was a Communist/Marxist fellow-traveler who helped establish the tactics of infiltration -- coupled with a measure of confrontation -- that have been central to revolutionary political movements in the United States in recent decades. He never joined the Communist Party but instead, as David Horowitz puts it, became an avatar of the post-modern left.
"Alinsky was ... convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations."
In the Alinsky model, "organizing" is a euphemism for "revolution" -- a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America's social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted -- a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo's complete collapse -- to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal "changes" are needed.
As Alinsky put it: "A reformation means that the masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don't know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won't act for change but won't strongly oppose those who do. The time is then ripe for revolution."
"[W]e are concerned," Alinsky elaborated, "with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace, cooperation, equal and full opportunities for education, full and useful employment, health, and the creation of those circumstances in which men have the chance to live by the values that give meaning to life. We are talking about a mass power organization which will change the world … This means revolution."
John Perazzo at Discover the Networks writes in his profile of Alinsky:
But Alinsky's brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. As Richard Poe puts it, "Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties." He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform. This was precisely the tactic of "infiltration" advocated by Lenin and Stalin. As Communist International General Secretary Georgi Dimitroff told the Seventh World Congress of the Comintern in 1935:
"Comrades, you remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy. Troy was inaccessible to the armies attacking her, thanks to her impregnable walls. And the attacking army, after suffering many sacrifices, was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy's camp."
Alinsky died in 1972, but his legacy lives on as a staple of leftist method, a veritable blueprint for revolution (which he and his disciples euphemistically refer to as "change"). Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
In 1969 Hillary Clinton wrote her 92-page senior thesis on Alinsky's theories. A great admirer of Alinsky's blend of ruthless and stealth activist tactics, Hillary personally interviewed the famed author for her project. She concluded her thesis by stating:
"Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared -- just as Eugene Debs [the five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President] or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths -- democracy."
Now this shows what Saul Alinsky is about and just how he influenced two of the top people that have hidden facts on Benghazi! But this is but the tip of the proverbial Iceberg as far as how these two people, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama, consider what this Socialist/maybe Communist stated!
Unlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama never personally met Saul Alinsky. By the time Alinsky died in 1972, Obama was only 11 years old. But as a young man, he became a master practitioner of Alinsky's methods. In 1985 a small group of 20-odd churches in Chicago offered Obama a job helping residents of poor, predominantly black, Far South Side neighborhoods. Accepting that opportunity, Obama became Director of the Developing Communities Project, where he worked for the next three years on initiatives that ranged from job training to school reform to hazardous waste cleanup. David Freddoso, author of the 2008 book The Case Against Barack Obama, summarizes Obama's community-organizing efforts as follows:
"He pursued manifestly worthy goals; protecting people from asbestos in government housing projects is obviously a good thing and a responsibility of the government that built them. But [in every case except one] the proposed solution to every problem on the South Side was a distribution of government funds ..."
Three of Obama's mentors in Chicago were trained at the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation. (The Developing Communities Project itself was an affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation, whose modus operandi for the creation of "a more just and democratic society" is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.)
One of Obama's early mentors in the Alinsky method, Mike Kruglik, would later say the following about Obama:
"He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better."
Here we see just how Obama got his ideas and they just do not work with a nation under a "free enterprise" traditions!
For several years, Obama himself taught workshops on the Alinsky method. Also, beginning in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with ACORN, the Alinskyite grassroots political organization that grew out of George Wiley's National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO).
We have shown just what plan Obama has been following for years, including some of his "mentors" of this Socialist ideology that he has put forth without fear because he views himself as King of the Former United States. If "WE THE PEOPLE" do not vote people into the Senate to change the balance this year, the United States will be no more, and time will only prove this to be true when they begin making more laws against the Constitution and dissolving our rights one at a time. We've laid out their plans; now it is up to us to ensure that freedom prevails and not a kingdom of Obama.

U.S. Cutting Tool Orders Fall Month-to-Month, Jump Year-Over-Year
Orders have trended upward since hitting the bottom in August 2020 but have not seen a consistent month-to-month rise.
US Cutting Tool InstituteAssociation for Manufacturing Technology
MCLEAN, VA — November 2021 U.S. cutting tool consumption totaled $160.7 million, according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) and the Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT). This total, as reported by companies participating in the Cutting Tool Market Report collaboration, was down 10.5% from October's $179.6 million and up 11.4% when compared with the $144.3 million reported for November 2020. With a year-to-date total of $1.8 billion, 2021 is up 8.2% when compared to the same time period in 2020.
These numbers and all data in this report are based on the totals reported by the companies participating in the CTMR program. The totals here represent the majority of the U.S. market for cutting tools.
Cutting tool orders have been on an upward trend since hitting the bottom in August 2020 but have not seen a consistent month-to month rise. "The uncertainty continues in our market as indicated by the data: one month increase and then one month decrease for the last six months," said Brad Lawton, chairman of AMT's Cutting Tool Product Group.
In a similar sentiment, Tom Haag, president at Kyocera SGS Precision Tool added, "The industry is clawing its way back to pre-pandemic activity, but it is not on a linear path, as each month brings new challenges. How will the Omicron variant affect industrial productivity? When will the microchip shortage in automotive production end?"
Despite concern over monthly fluctuations, the overall sentiment remains positive on the trajectory of the industry into 2022. Haag continued, "We are optimistic that 2022 will continue that progress in the industry, but full recovery is still in the distance." Forecasting the industry would find a way around the present obstacles to growth, Lawton concluded, "We have been on these choppy waters before, and we will continue to make our way."
The Cutting Tool Market Report is jointly compiled by AMT and USCTI, two trade associations representing the development, production, and distribution of cutting tool technology and products. It provides a monthly statement on U.S. manufacturers' consumption of the primary consumable in the manufacturing process – the cutting tool. Analysis of cutting tool consumption is a leading indicator of both upturns and downturns in U.S. manufacturing activity, as it is a true measure of actual production levels.
Historical data for the Cutting Tool Market Report is available dating back to January 2012. This collaboration of AMT and USCTI is the first step in the two associations working together to promote and support U.S.-based manufacturers of cutting tool technology.
The graph below includes the 12-month moving average for the durable goods shipments and cutting tool orders. These values are calculated by taking the average of the most recent 12 months and plotting them over time.

Q: ASP.NET MVC 2, Ninject 2.2 and no parameterless constructor defined for this object So I've been spending some time with ASP.NET MVC 2 (currently stuck with using Visual Studio 2008) and have now moved onto using Ninject 2.2 and its MVC integration.

    public class HomeController : Controller {
        private readonly IFoo foo;

        }

        public ActionResult Index() {
            ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!";

            return View();
        }
    }
}

Now every time I run my project and visit '/' I get a yellow screen of death with a message that says "No parameterless constructor defined for this object." It seems Ninject is not resolving my Foo service and injecting it into HomeController. I imagine I'm missing something really obvious but I'm just not seeing it.
How do I get Ninject to inject Foo into the HomeController, and without using Ninject attributes?

A: Me: Could you provide a little more information about the IFoo service implementation? Does it have all of its own dependencies satisfied?
Myself: Hmm, no it doesn't. Turns out I didn't bind its dependencies. Boy, is that error message and stack trace misleading!

So my mistake was that I didn't bind one of the dependencies of the IFoo implementation and so Ninject failed silently and tried to continue on its merry way. Which is really unfortunate because it could lead to some really strange behavior once I deviate from a trivial setup. I guess my next question should be how can I get Ninject to fail as early as possible and provide good messaging about what's wrong? But for now I can at least get on with it.

Maclin's release cleared $10 million in cap space for the Chiefs, who presumably needed the money to sign their top three draft picks and create some cap room in case of an emergency. The move will also create more cap room for next season, as the Chiefs are already up against next year's projected cap of $178 million.
Maclin had a down year in 2016, finishing tied for third on the team in catches (44) and third in yards (536). He also missed four games due to a groin injury, and even once he returned, he struggled to rekindle his connection with quarterback Alex Smith. The two appeared uncharacteristically out of sync at times.
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said he was shocked at the news of team's history release of wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.
This was a far cry from 2015, when Maclin — who was lured from Philadelphia to KC with a five-year, $55 million free-agent deal — scored a team-high eight touchdowns, posted the club's highest single-season reception total since 2008 (87) and became the first Chief to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving (1,088) in four years.
With Maclin out of the mix, the Chiefs will give emerging second-year pro Tyreek Hill — arguably the league's fastest player and most dynamic returner — the first shot at the coveted "Z" position, the spotlight-receiver spot in Andy Reid's West Coast offense.
But while Maclin has found a new professional home, it appears the former Missouri star won't be severing his ties to the state of Missouri. He will be holding his annual football camp for needy kids from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday at Kirkwood High, his alma mater. And on July 22, he will continue his annual tradition of distributing fully stocked backpacks to over 300 middle school and high school students at Kirkwood.
Maclin's deal with Baltimore was first reported by NFL Network.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley described his phone conversation with veteran teammate and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who was released on Friday night by the team.

If you're wondering what to do with your little darlin's during spring break, look no further than the Seymour Marine Discovery Center, where educators have added new programs and activities for the weeks of March 23-April 7.
Keep the kids from bouncing off the walls by enrolling them in fun workshops like "An ROV For Me," in which participants ages 9 and up will build their own remotely operated vehicle. Or plan your activities around "Seaside Storytime," a story hour offered on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. If you prefer a more spontaneous approach to school break, take note of the "See More" lab activities, offered five times daily, in which kids can dress up as Rocky the Sea Lion, play Marine Mammal Jeopardy, explore the world of sea otter feeding, or compare the abilities of scuba divers and gold-medal swimmers to extraordinary "Dolphin Olympians."
Most activities, including arts and crafts projects, are covered by the cost of admission to the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. Admission fees and a full schedule of activities are listed below. Space for the ROV workshop is limited, and advance registration is required. For more information, call (831) 459-3800, or visit seymourcenter.ucsc.edu.
"We've beefed up our regular programs to give kids--and parents--a lot of options," said Lisa Borok, visitor programs manager at the Seymour Center.
Spring-break programming begins Saturday, March 23. The Seymour Center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center will be closed Easter Sunday, March 31, and is always closed on Mondays. Admission is $5 for adults; $3 for children ages 6-16, students, and seniors aged 60 and over; children ages 5 and under are free. The first Tuesday of each month is free admission, and members of the Friends of Long Marine Lab visit free every day.
Regular highlights of the Seymour Center include a hands-on seawater table, scavenger hunt, exhibits, the 87-foot-long blue whale skeleton, and daily tours led by knowledgeable docents. The Seymour Center is located in Santa Cruz at the end of Delaware Avenue past Natural Bridges State Beach.
Docent-led tours are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and are intended for individuals, families, and small groups. Simply sign up at the admissions desk when you arrive. Groups of 10 or more are advised to call ahead. If your group is interested in a private reserved tour, please call 831-459-3799 at least three weeks in advance.
Marine Mammal Research tours are 75-minute, behind-the-scenes tours that offer an in-depth exploration of the marine mammal research projects at Long Marine Lab. Learn about the work of LML scientists and their studies of dolphins, sea lions, elephant seals, harbor seals, and blue whales. The tour is offered on March 24, March 26, April 3, and April 4. All tours are free with admission and open to the public. They are best suited for adults and children over 7 years of age. Space is limited to 12 participants. Advanced reservations required; call 459-3799.

World latest news
tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi Issues Statement on Company Milestones & Planned Roadmap for 2019
Dear tZERO Token Holder, I am quite pleased with the progress our team is making. I have been communicating with you, our token holders, through the Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) quarterly earnings calls, SEC disclosure, and periodic event-driven press releases. I realize I can do more to keep you apprised of the status and prospects of the business. This letter is a first step in that direction. We have also hired a Head of Investor Relations to help. This letter addresses: why I believe tZERO is such a significant business opportunity, the milestones we have already hit this year, and the planned roadmap for the remainder of the year. Why Security Tokens? We firmly believe that security tokens are the next generation of how the world will trade value. In the near future, blockchain and smart contract technology will allow most assets to be tokenized into digital form. This tokenization would make virtually every asset class more easily divisible and tradeable, with the added security provided by an immutable blockchain. Tokenization can extend beyond equities, to assets such as real estate, funds, art, film, and even sports teams. It will democratize access to these traditionally exclusive assets. It will also create more liquidity, reduce friction costs (through token technology that follows regulatory laws), improve regulatory compliance, and make settlement near instant (curtailing a significant source of the potential for market manipulation today). At this time, security tokens and security token trading ecosystems are analogous to the first cellular network towers and the first Motorola mobile phones (aka "brick phones"). Those early products – rudimentary as they seem today – were not at their full potential; however, they showed the promise and capacity for cell phones to become far more superior to what was traditionally available. While tZERO nominally builds phones (tokens), our focus and key to success lies in building a next-generation global network (just as it was in the early years of cellular technology, what matters is who owns the towers). This is where tZERO not only has a substantial lead, but also has a patent protecting how the network is built. While the cellular phone industry is not a perfect proxy for the trade of security tokens, and there is room for conjecture on the impact of phone makers versus network providers, the point stands that our future is not determined by picking winners and losers of particular tokens, but rather in creating the foundation for the industry. Unlike the decades and billions of dollars it took to build the physical backbone of cellular networks, a significant portion of tZERO's infrastructure is already in place. As our network is software-based, we can iterate improvements at a radically faster rate for a fraction of the cost, and thus more easily scale our business. These reasons form the basis for my confidence in our success and in the enormous impact tZERO's technology can have on the world. Where are we today? Below is a list of our key accomplishments this year. January 1: Obtained a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a system that can take orders to trade "digital transactional items" and integrate with legacy Wall Street systems. January 10: Partner broker-dealer Dinosaur Financial Group ("Dino") launched onboarding investors. Note: the relevant Dino technology is powered by tZERO as the technology provider. January 24: PRO Securities ATS, operated by a PRO Securities, a broker-dealer and a subsidiary of tZERO, launched resales of tZERO's preferred security tokens among accredited investors, with Dino introducing broker-dealer. April 15: Launched tokenization technology as a service. This technology service supports token offerings (i.e., issuance), and for tokenization of existing cap tables/securities. May 3: Announced a letter of intent to tokenize commercial real-estate with the $10B real-estate development firm Emaar. May 27: Finalized agreement with third-party token issuance platform Securitize. This will allow PRO Securities ATS to trade tokens being issued through Securitize. May 30: BOX joint venture, Boston Security Token Exchange (BSTX) filed rulebook with SEC for the first regulated security token exchange. June 14: Filed New Member Application (NMA) for our own retail broker-dealer subsidiary, which is currently under regulatory review. June 26: Formalized agreement with ETC Brokerage Services, as ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Atari Biopic to Undergo Tokenization through tZERO and Vision Tree
Blockchain Goes to Hollywood Today, digital securities issuance platform, tZERO, has announced a new partnership with Vision Tree. This alliance will see the latter tokenize an upcoming movie they are developing through the use of services rendered by tZERO. The digital securities to be minted, and issued, are expected to raise upwards of $40 million in funding towards the development of an upcoming movie. Investors in this token will be rewarded with, not only a vote in the development of the movie, but rights to a proportionate share of the revenues. The goal of this entire process is to change the way movies are made. By partnering, tZERO and Vision Tree are demonstrating a more efficient means of raising capital, while opening previously unattainable opportunities to qualified investors. If all goes well, this event may spark a change in the way movies are made in the future. Atari: A Fistful of Quarters The movie itself is expected to take shape as a biopic, detailing the journey of the iconic gaming company – Atari. This journey saw Nolan Bushnell, who also founded Chuck E. Cheese, grow a pinball repair business into a gaming giant in its time. Despite being a household name, Atari has not found themselves to be a player within the world of gaming for years, as the industry is dominated by the trio of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Commentary When announcing this move, various representatives of each company took the time to elaborate. Saum Noursalehi, CEO of tZERO, stated, "Our goal is to apply blockchain technology to capital markets and every industry that can benefit from the platform we have built. The Atari movie is the perfect project to lead the way for the tokenization of the movie business." Patrick M. Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com (mother company of tZERO), stated, "We have been looking for the team to crack the code for Hollywood and bring much needed transparency and accountability to an industry that has been historically resistant to change. This is an extremely impressive team and we are thrilled to bring the tZERO tech stack to the movie industry." J.D. Seraphine, Co-founder of Vision Tree, stated, "Once we had the opportunity to connect with Patrick, Saum, and the rest of the tZERO family it became immediately clear that this is the best team to roll out the token for the Atari movie." Benjamin Gerry, Co-founder of Vision Tree, stated, "It has been a long process to find the right partner to tokenize the Atari movie and to blaze a new trail for other media projects to follow. After looking closely at every major company in the space, we are thrilled to collaborate with tZERO on this exciting endeavor." tZERO tZERO is a United States based company, which functions as a subsidiary of parent company, Overstock.com. tZERO serves the digital securities sector through their suite of services which allow for the creation, issuance, management and trading of such assets. CEO, Saum Noursalehi currently oversees company operations Vision Tree Vision Tree is a Santa Monica, California, based company, which was founded in 2012. Above all, Vision Tree acts as a tech company, working to implement blockchain technologies within television, film, and media. Founders, Benjamin Gerry, and J.D. Seraphine, currently oversee company operations. In Other News The decision to tokenize the upcoming Atari movie is yet another example of an art medium which can benefit from the ability of digital securities to both generate, and unlock capital. Another example of a form of art being affected by the growth of this industry includes TheArtToken. We recently had the pleasure of completing an interview discussing this project.

tZERO Partners with Atari Movie to Tokenize First Major Motion Picture
Leading Blockchain Innovator Announces It Will Work with the Atari Movie Producers to Tokenize the First Major Motion Picture tZERO announced today that it has entered a partnership with the producers of the upcoming movie, "Atari: Fistful of Quarters," to tokenize the first major theatrical motion picture. This will be the first time the film industry leverages the power of blockchain technology, marking yet another milestone towards tZERO's goal to revolutionizing capital markets. tZERO will develop the Bushnell token, sold by the film production and financing company, Vision Tree. The new biopic is centered on a pioneering figure in the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell, who went from repairing broken pinball machines to launching the videogame manufacturer Atari in the 1970s. The film's unique approach to funding is reflective of Bushnell's groundbreaking and innovative career. The movie is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, as well as Benjamin Gerry and J.D. Seraphine of Vision Tree. tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi said, "Our goal is to apply blockchain technology to capital markets and every industry that can benefit from the platform we have built.

The initial release of the app will support Bitcoin and Ethereum purchases."tZERO Crypto App live on iOS! This will serve as the foundation for a broader digital asset trading solution. #blockchain #Crypto #Bitcoin2019 #ethereum #tZero $OSTK $BTC " – @Noursalehi https://t.co/kr42RNefS0 pic.twitter.com/X3GiYesWf1— tZERO (@tzeroblockchain) June 27, 2019The company said that their new mobile crypto app is a hack-resistant solution for trading and storing cryptocurrencies. Moreover, tZero's private key recovery system will allow users to restore their funds in case if they lose their private keys or a mobile device.From the firm they said that they are being committed to compliance and safety and will be utilizing biometric authentication for added security and ease of use.Investors who want to participate in the global cryptocurrency market will be able to buy, sell and hold these digital assets directly through this App on their mobile phone, rather than using more vulnerable, third-party exchanges for custody.tZero CEO Saum Noursalehi explained that the application will store private keys directly on users' smartphones, which is expected to provide maximum security, in contrast to "more vulnerable, third-party exchanges for custody." He said:"One of my goals since I joined the company is to provide an intuitive user experience on both mobile and the web to trade all digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. The new app will become the foundation of trading all digital assets for tZERO, whether it's art, real estate, or private companies."He added that in the company they are being focused on the development and commercialization of blockchain, the technology that underpins bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. He added:"As you know, exchanges have gotten hacked before. What's different in our case is that the tokens will be stored on your phones with your private keys, which we think is more secure."Patrick M. Byrne, founder and CEO of Overstock.com confirmed that tZERO Crypto is bringing a superb wallet into production, one with distinct advantages over other wallets currently in use."One of those is that with tZERO's Private Key Recovery System, your digital coins are truly held by you, in your wallet, rather than on an exchange in a pot with other fungible tokens. Not only is this more secure (if your coins are held in your wallet and not on an exchange, people cannot steal your tokens by hacking an exchange), but in addition, it is more true to the cypherpunk ethos of decentralization through cryptography.You do not face a risk in losing your passwords or devices. There are other reasons I believe that users are going to find the tZERO Crypto wallet superior to others on the market. In recent shareholders' calls and an annual meeting, I emphasized that I believed that tZERO would have at least two significant announcements near the end of Q2. This is the first of them."This announcement seems to go along the bullish cryptocurrency trend that has shown scorching price rally this year, led by Bitcoin, which has soared more than 270% so far in 2019.
