Vanessa Beeley is a British investigative journalist focused on the Middle East. On her return from Syria in September 2016, she reported how 600,000 people moved from East to West Aleppo to take refuge when the NATO-backed rebels attacked the city in 2012.[1]
Vanessa Beeley is clear that Syria's White Helmets, lauded in the West as a group of volunteer first-responders, funded by the US, Britain and others to the tune of $100 million and nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize, are nothing but terrorists. She accuses the White Helmets of stealing ambulances and fire engines, and even killing Syria's real Civil Defence officials.[2] [3][4]
On 25 July 2018, Vanessa Beeley was interviewed on 21st Century Wire's "Taylor Report" about a large number of White Helmets exiting Syria via the Golan Heights with the assistance of Israel.[5]

SitRep in East Ghouta
Vanessa Beeley's brief summary of the military campaign in East Ghouta "for those who are asking what is happening":
Let me ask you a question.
I am not sure which town you live in but imagine the suburbs of that town are occupied by a number of internationally recognised militant/terrorist factions intent on ethnically cleansing your town of any religious minority that does not ideologically comply with their extremism – and then imagine if, every day, those same factions are firing mortars, explosive bullets into crowds of school children or civilians at the busiest times in your town, or sending suicide car bombs to further maim and mutilate civilians – would you ask your government to do nothing and allow your city to be gradually destroyed and its people massacred over time?
Or, would you demand that your government send its Army into those areas to liberate them from the militant factions?
That is what is happening but only after the Syrian government has spent months/years trying to negotiate with those militant factions and has been evacuating a huge number of civilans from those areas prior to commencing the military campaign. Those militant factions are also holding civilians as hostages, human shields, they are starving them, torturing and abusing them, oh and putting them in cages.
This is war which is never desirable but who has imposed this war upon Syria? The NATO member states supported by Saudi Arabia, Israel, the UN and the aligned commercially-controlled media who are currently running a protectionist campaign for the "rebels" who are financed and armed by the governments who control the media.
Hope that is now clear?
Long live Syria and the Syrian Arab Army, may their victory be swift and the liberation complete...then you will hear the truth from the Syrian civilians not from the NATO member state mouthpieces in western media.

Liberation of East Aleppo
The following is from the transcript of an RT video broadcast on 15th December 2016. It is an exchange between Vanessa Beeley and Brent Budowsky, a US-based reporter for The Hill, concerning the liberation of Eastern Aleppo from its 4 year occupation by Al-Nusra Front and their affiated rebel factions. It is illustrative of the gross bias of western media reporting on Syria generally and the ignorance of one of its 'journalists' in particular:
RT: Why so much hysteria in the media? Why is no one talking about defeating terrorists - who are Al-Nusra, the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria?
Brent Budowsky, columnist for the Hill: Nobody wants to kill and defeat the terrorists more than I do and more than the US, but what is happening in Aleppo is a moral crime against humanity. I agree with what Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Russian government should do everything to stop it, to end it, to support a ceasefire, to end the carnage, the killing and the bombing of innocent civilians. The UN is concerned about it. And I agree with their investigation into possible war crimes. I agree with what the pictures tell us. The bombing of civilians and the massacre of the innocents must stop. My strong advice to President Putin would be to follow John Kerry's advice and end that carnage and killing right now. So should Assad, so should the Syrian army. It is a joke to treat them as liberators; they are mass-murdering civilians…
RT: Vanessa, what is your reaction to this political view of the events? As a journalist, how do you feel about that?
Vanessa Beeley, journalist: I've just returned from three days in East Aleppo, and I would like to 100 percent correct the lies that are being disseminated by the media, think tanks, governments across the West. Particularly your guest who has just uttered complete lies. I've spent basically three days in all the various liberated areas of East Aleppo… Many of the testimonies that we received from the civilians that this gentleman has just accused Russia and Syria of bombing, actually told us that they had been incarcerated for the last four years by the various US-backed terrorist militant groups such as Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham, Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki whom we know beheaded the 12-year old Palestinian child. We were told stories about civilians who were trying to leave this imprisonment when the Russian and Syrian governments opened the humanitarian corridors. I interviewed one lady, I have her on film, where she tells me that one woman, who had been kept in a condition of starvation and malnutrition by these militant factions – who were stockpiling any humanitarian aid that came in and either selling it at extortionate prices. When this lady went on her knees to beg for food, she was shot in the mouth by the militant factions that have been imprisoning these civilians for the last four and a half years. Your [American] media and propaganda have supported that incarceration, torture, abuse and absolute horror that these civilians had had to go through.
RT: The spokesperson of the US State Department said he hasn't seen the videos of people celebrating on Aleppo's streets. He's in a senior position; he must know what he's talking about, doesn't he?
Brent Budowsky: We can witness day by day dead babies by dead babies. You can watch the CNN, the BBC, any other television station. The point is – the killing, the bombings of civilians must stop. The dead children and babies is a moral outrage against humanity.
Vanessa Beeley: Can I ask one question? Where are these sources being able to transmit this information from? Because in East Aleppo there is no 3G, there is no wi-fi, there is no electricity. So I'd like to know how these sources are able to get this information via Skype connection to organisations – I'll use that term loosely – like CNN, BBC, Channel 4. I would very much like to know how they achieve it and how there're able to do that in East Aleppo. Unlike the corporate mainstream media, I have been in East Aleppo for the last three days, therefore, I'm giving you eyewitness testimony unlike your mainstream media that has not been there and relies upon spurious activists – like the White Helmets, who are funded by every single nation that has a vested and declared interest in regime change in Syria. That is your reliable source. Or perhaps the 'Aleppo Media Center' – French Foreign Office funded.... [8]

Increased hydrogen production by Escherichia coli strain HD701 in comparison with the wild-type parent strain MC4100
David Penfold, Christopher Forster, Lynne Macaskie
Hydrogen production by Escherichia coli is mediated by the formate hydrogenlyase (FHL) complex. E. coli strain HD701 cannot synthesize the FHL complex repressor, Hyc A. Consequently, it has an up-regulated FHL system and can, therefore, evolve hydrogen at a greater rate than its parental wild type, E. coli MC4100. Resting cells of E. coli strain HD701 and MC4100 were set up in batch mode in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to decouple growth from hydrogen production at the expense of sugar solutions of varying composition. Strain HD701 evolved several times more hydrogen than MC4100 at glucose concentrations ranging from 3 to 200 mM. The difference in the amount of H-2 evolved by both strains decreased as the concentration of glucose increased. The highest rate of H-2 evolution by strain HD701 was 31 ml h(-1) ODunit-1 l(-1) at a glucose concentration of 100 mM. With strain MC4100, the highest rate was 16 ml h(-1)OD(unit)(-1) l(-1) under these conditions. Experiments using industrial wastes with a high sugar content yielded similar results. In each case, strain HD701 evolved hydrogen at a faster rate than the wild type, showing a possible potential for commercial hydrogen production.

Can China still lead the world in tech without a new Jack Ma?
Hong Kong (CNN Business)China has cut its global tech champions down to size, cracking down on antitrust abuses and undue risk taking. But the heavy-handed approach could backfire on Beijing by stifling an entrepreneurial spirit that has proven vital to the country's rapid economic rise.
Several tech companies have been investigated in the past few months over alleged monopolistic behavior or other breaches of consumer rights. The ongoing probe — which President Xi Jinping has personally endorsed as necessary to maintain "social stability" — has led to record fines for some tech titans and massive overhauls for others. More than $600 billion has been wiped off the value of the biggest tech stocks in recent months.A couple of China's most successful entrepreneurs have quit high-level positions amid the turmoil. Zhang Yiming, the founder of TikTok owner ByteDance, recently announced he would step down as CEO at just 38 years old to take a less prominent role in the company. And Colin Huang, 41, said in March that he would resign as chairman of Pinduoduo (PDD), an upstart e-commerce company that competes with the likes of Alibaba. Meanwhile, Alibaba (BABA) co-founder Jack Ma — China's most famous tech entrepreneur — has largely dropped out of public view.
The young CEO who helped make TikTok a global hit is latest Chinese tech entrepreneur to quitZhang and Huang both said they were departing to try new things, and neither referenced the government's focus on the tech sector in their announcements. Zhang's decision to step down was not related to regulatory moves in China, a ByteDance spokesperson said. Pinduoduo referred CNN Business to Huang's public comments.
But it's hard to separate their exits from the widening government clampdown on technology. Read More"The atmosphere hovering over China's tech landscape has grown increasingly toxic," said Alex Capri, a research fellow at Hinrich Foundation and a visiting senior fellow at National University of Singapore. He cited Zhang's move as "proof that fear trumps ambition if the threat of public humiliation or some worse form of punishment awaits those who challenge the system."But challenging the system is essential to the private enterprise that played a key role in China's transition from a poor country to one of the world's greatest economic and tech forces over the past few decades. Losing that dynamic would not only risk undermining some of those achievements, it could also make it much harder for China to meet its ambitious goals to lead the world in the technologies of the future.
A state-driven economy
Wary tech executives need look no further than Beijing's public humiliation of Ma. The flamboyant and outspoken entrepreneur all but disappeared after he criticized China's state-controlled banking system last fall for having a "pawn shop mentality," and accused the government of using stodgy and outdated means to regulate a modern financial system.It's not just Ma's private reputation on the line. The businesses he built have suffered too. Beijing prevented Ant Group, Alibaba's financial affiliate, from going public, before forcing it to restructure and placing it under heavy regulation. Alibaba was slapped with a record fine in April over antitrust issues. Ma's legacy is under attack elsewhere — he has reportedly been forced to retreat from an elite business school that he founded."Part of the crackdown on internet tech companies is motivated by the desire to reduce financial risk, as in curtailing the lending activities of Ant," said Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) who studies China's economy. Ant held about 2.15 trillion yuan ($333 billion) worth of consumer and small business loans this time last year.
What an ancient poem says about China's fearful tech tycoonsBut another reason "may be due to Xi's desire to cut down alternative sources of power that could ultimately challenge the dominance of the [ruling Chinese Communist Party]," Lardy added.Beijing's desire to exert heavier control over private enterprise comes from the government's faith that a state-managed planned economy is more effective than one that relies on a free market approach, and more importantly, more likely to allow the Party to preserve its power."The leaders of the tech firms that have become too powerful for the comfort of Xi and the Communist Party are put under pressure, as the monopoly of power across the board by the Party cannot be allowed to be challenged," said Steve Tsang, director of the SOAS China Institute at SOAS University of London. "Hence, they individually take actions to reassure the Party and Xi that they will not do so, by handing over the corporate leadership to protégés."
People wear protective masks as they walk across a bridge over the Liangma river on May 24 in Beijing, China.
An unstable balance of power
China's internet companies aren't necessarily trying to rock the boat. Alibaba has worked extensively with the government on its Rural Taobao initiative, a program aimed at reducing poverty among farmers by helping them sell goods directly to urban consumers online. The company also developed a government-sponsored app — Xuexi Qiangguo — that teaches Xi's political philosophies.
China orders Tencent and other big tech firms to curb their finance businesses "All of the big Chinese tech giants — in spite of their private nature — have cultivated a proximity to the government that presumably created the idea of balanced power relations," said Sonja Opper, a professor at Bocconi University in Italy who studies China's economy and its institutional transition to the private sector.Tech entrepreneurs are also widely represented in Party circles.Tencent (TCTZF) founder and CEO Pony Ma and Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun both serve as members of the National People's Congress — China's rubber-stamp parliament. Baidu (BIDU) founder and CEO Robin Li and NetEase (NTES) founder and CEO William Ding are members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body. Jack Ma is a Communist Party member."The Party groomed rock-star like celebrities, [and] they were co-opted by making them members of the National People's Congress," Opper said, adding that tech entrepreneurs "certainly began to feel safe, because of their economic power and global visibility.""They began to raise a critical voice and began to look like people who can challenge current thinking," she said. "What we see now is how unstable this balance was, and that control remains the government's key interest."
A risky strategy
Beijing's strategy is inherently risky. China's long economic miracle and rapid ascent as a leader in tech has its roots in Beijing's farsighted decision in the late 1970s to give up some control over the economy and adopt a free market approach in many sectors. China's tech industry, for example, was free to raise capital oversees. Early bets by Japan's SoftBank (SFTBF) (Alibaba) and South Africa's Naspers (NAPRF) (Tencent) about 20 years ago paid off handsomely all round. Restoring a high degree of state control may curtail the freedom that these private companies have to innovate and keep up with major global competitors. Investors may lose the incentive to pour money into private Chinese firms if they are worried about "unwanted government interference," Opper said, especially since some tech projects often take a long time to develop. And there's evidence that may already be happening.
China hits Alibaba with record $2.8 billion fine for behaving like a monopolyAlibaba has lost more than $240 billion in market capitalization since Ant Group's IPO was pulled in November. Tencent has seen $173 billion in market value evaporate since a peak in January. E-commerce firms Pinduoduo, JD.com (JD), and food delivery giant Meituan, meanwhile, have lost a combined $231 billion since February peaks. China's policymakers don't want to eliminate the private sector — it contributes nearly two thirds of the country's GDP and employs 80% of the workers. But it's very clear that Xi wants the state sector to lead, with private companies playing a supportive role."It's a paradox," said Lardy from the PIIE. "Xi wants the state to play a greater role. That's very clear from all the things he said from the last 10 years. He wants the government to play a bigger role to get things going faster."But for Xi to achieve his ambitions of turning China into an innovation leader by 2035 and a global tech superpower by 2050, he'll need to rely more on private firms than he expects. The Chinese leader has increasingly stressed the need for China to shed its reliance on the West for technology over the past couple of years, especially as Washington curbs the ability for Chinese companies to access US tech. But the firms driving innovation and development in China aren't state-owned companies. Rather, private firms are leading the way: Huawei and Alibaba, for example, accounted for more spending on research and development than any other Chinese company last year, according to the China Enterprise Confederation."Looking back, there is a reason why China's tech giants were able to develop," Opper said. "They had a degree of freedom that allowed [them] to unleash productivity and innovation not seen in any state-owned enterprises in China."
Alibaba's co-founder Jack Ma (R) looks at Tencent Holdings' CEO Pony Ma during a celebration meeting marking the 40th anniversary of China's "reform and opening up" policy at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on December 18, 2018.
Overly confident
That doesn't seem to be a lesson that China's policymakers want to heed right now.The Covid-19 pandemic has convinced China that a largely planned economy with strict regulation of many aspects of life is the best approach to running the nation. The country last year implemented some of the strictest measures worldwide to contain the virus. In turn, it emerged as the only major economy to avert recession, outperforming its Western peers."Our greatest advantage is that the socialist system can enable us to concentrate resources to accomplish large undertakings," Xi was cited as saying in an editorial by the People's Daily, the Communist Party's mouthpiece, earlier this year. "This is an important way for us to achieve our cause."The editorial cited China's alleged victory in its years-long campaign of "eliminating extreme poverty" in 2020 — by lifting all of its people above its set poverty line of 4,000 yuan, or $626, per year — as an example, writing: "Our Party and our country are the only ones in the world who can accomplish this, which fully demonstrates our political system's and institutional advantages."But skeptics warn Beijing might be overconfident in its top-down economic strategy.
China is rehearsing for when it overtakes America"It is a strategy that prioritizes short-term goals of political control over medium-term growth and development objectives," Opper said. "State-owned enterprises will not be able to fill the gap given weaker profit incentives and tighter control structures."State-owned enterprises, despite being important tools for the Party's control, are notorious for their inefficiency — both in allocating resources and competing with private firms. They contribute much less to overall employment than private firms, and they account for as much as 70% of the corporate debt in China outside of the financial sector. That poses a threat to financial stability and economic growth.Nonetheless, it's clear that Xi favors promoting the state sector and having such enterprises take the lead.
During a previous crackdown in 2017, this time against high-flying financial tycoons, Xi talked openly about the importance of the Communist Party as the heart of everything in China, including an economic policy focused on advancing the state sector."Xi is taking China down a path more risky than the alternative," said Tsang from SOAS.

More logos! Apparently February was the month of working on logos and while I've had fun, I've also realized that logo design is something I appreciate more than I enjoy doing.
Today I'm showing you the progression from the original Wanisionwin game logo to our new logo. My first plan was to just find a new font and then add a texture to it but those all fell flat and by the time we had agreed on a look (#2) I felt it was just too boring. I thought adding the Cree Syllabic to the logo would make it more interesting. The thin version just seemed too weak and the bold version was too strong, making both the roman and the Cree almost unreadable.
To fix this problem I moved the Cree down and then played around with colour and tone to get our final logo, which I like the look of but still feel it's a little boring. Might be time to find a logo designer who can give me a hand.
logodesign gameasthetics gamedesign wanisinowin
Apparently this is the month of logo design, this one however I did in collaboration with Henry Faber of DMG. Indigicade is a joint DMG and Indigenous Routes initiative, the same one I was a part of last year where I created Wanisinowin.
This year I was approached to create a new logo for the programe.
The first is the sketch of my original idea, I wanted to take Woodland Style methods and meld them with a more digital look for the second half. You can see in the next image that's essentially what I did but as logo design is not something I had studied all I could tell was that it just didn't look right.
That's where Henry stepped in. In the third version you can already see that with the use of the new font for 'icade' the logo becomes more balanced but in creating that balance the connection between 'Indig' and 'icade' becomes cut off, literally as the line of communication has been disconnected.
So I asked Henry to merge our ideas for the first 'i' in the 'icade' section. What we ended up with was the third version. Even though it was closer to what I imagined it still didn't feel right so I moved the connecting line so that it connected with the corner instead of slightly to the side and I gave it a rougher squiggle more in keeping with the first half of the logo. After I realized that the line had been too thin the entire time, so I thickened it a little and I'm pretty happy with the finally result.

I think I've found the direction I really wanted to go with this. I wanted to keep the overall look of the Sheridan S but with more of a hand drawn feel to it. I think I'm getting closer!

I find that logos really are a huge part of selling an idea to a client. It seemed weird to me at first, I mean the real meat of the project is in the actual game, but I started to realize that a logo is a quick (though not easy by a long-shot) way of summing up what your game is.
Here I'm playing around with a few designs . I'm not crazy about them but it's a first step in the direction I want to go. I'm limited by the school's brand standards, but at least I don't have to pick from a million fonts and it allows me to focus on the @ as my indicator of what the game is. I mostly looked to Simon Dean's Designing Game Logos article on Gamasutra to help inform my direction.
Every font says something. In my examples above I've tried a few types for the at symbol. The first is round and soft, it looks casual but neat. The second is a little sharper looking, it speaks to a more professional look, less student friendly. The third is thicker, looks more like it was made with a marker. It's causal and bold. With these first three I've woven the at-symbol through the two words to show how the game is about integrating life (as you know it now) with post-secondary school life.
The last is an 8-bit style, I don't really like this one because I think it sets up an expectation that the game will be 8 or 16-bit style which is not what I'm going for.
I will probably come to an entirely different conclusion once I get some feedback on the designs.

Seat at geopolitical top table allowed Putin to scale back in Syria
MOSCOW | By Andrew Osborn
Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during the Interior Ministry Board meeting in Moscow, Russia, March 15, 2016.
Reuters/Sergei Chirikov/Pool
MOSCOW Vladimir Putin cited Russian military success in Syria as his reason for scaling back his forces there. But his belief that the intervention delivered him a seat at the top table of world affairs is more likely to have tipped his hand.
Russia's Syria operation, launched on Sept. 30 last year, made military, diplomatic and domestic political sense for the Kremlin which was keen to shore up its closest Middle East ally and protect its only naval facility on the Mediterranean. It has largely achieved both aims.
But an analysis of comments made by the Russian president and other officials, and conversations with people familiar with his thinking, suggests his primary aim was to make Russia so indispensable to the Syrian peace process that it could regain a measure of the global clout the Soviet Union once enjoyed.
"Russia has returned to the global board of directors," said Alexander Baunov, a senior associate at the Carnegie Moscow Center. "(It has returned) to the table where world and regional powers decide the fate of others' conflicts and Russia is clearly not a local but a world player."
Putin is famously inscrutable and unpredictable, and his decision to draw down in Syria was no exception. He confides in only a small coterie of people around him, and it came as a total surprise for many in the Kremlin and the defense ministry.
"I spent all day at the defense ministry and did not hear a peep," one defense industry source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the matter's sensitivity.
State propaganda outlets spoke on Tuesday of a "mission accomplished", a phrase that deliberately mimicked the one plastered on a U.S. warship in 2003 when President George W. Bush declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq.
The real mission, some say, was to give Russia a say in world affairs.
In the space of six months it has gone from being a pariah state in the West because of its annexation of Crimea and support for pro-Kremlin rebels in eastern Ukraine to being the go-to partner over Syria. Once spurned by Western leaders, it is now a regular interlocutor for both Washington and EU leaders.
"Putin has already got all the political benefits," said Nikolai Petrov, a political expert at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. "It is better to withdraw before costs increase, before any accident can happen, and before the risks become too high."
Reuters estimates the 5-month operation has cost the Kremlin $700-800 million. The human cost has been higher. Although the official Russian military body count is just four, Islamic State claimed it blew up a Russian passenger plane over Egypt in October, killing all 224 people onboard, in revenge for Syria.
Reasserting Russia's global voice is crucial to Putin, who has been alternately president and prime minister for over 15 years, and is thought to have a close eye on his historical legacy while showing no signs of wanting to leave the Kremlin.
He has long pushed for a new multilateral world order where other powers counter-balance U.S. influence.
In a speech to the United Nations in New York in September, in a barely disguised dig at the United States, he complained of the "arrogance, exceptionalism and impunity" of those he said had engineered the Arab spring.
Dmitry Medvedev, his prime minister and ally, outlined the world order the Kremlin craved as recently as last month, evoking the 1962 Cuban missile crisis as a model of how Moscow and Washington were able to solve dangerous crises.
He said he believed the world's powers could come together in "a fair and equal union" to maintain global peace.
Russian officials say recent events show how Moscow has, once again, come to matter.
They point out that it was Russia, along with the United States, which co-brokered the current cessation of hostilities in Syria, however fragile. Officials also rarely miss a chance to note that it is the Americans who have time and time again come to them for help over Syria.
John Kerry, the U.S. Secretary of State, flew to Moscow in December to discuss Syria with Putin, and has recently spoken almost daily to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Kremlin and White House statements confirm.
Even Putin's critics have recognized the clout Syria has gifted the Russian leader.
"There's one man on this planet who can end the civil war in Syria by making a phone call and that's Mr Putin," Philip Hammond, Britain's foreign secretary, told BBC TV last month.
ASSAD SEEN SAFE
By scaling back after a campaign of over 9,000 sorties estimated to have cost $700-800 million, the Kremlin has made it less likely it will be dragged into a potential regional conflict with Turkey or Saudi Arabia.
And although it did not in the end help bag a spectacular battlefield victory, such as the complete taking of Aleppo, the Kremlin thinks it has done enough to ensure that Assad and his forces can hold the line.
Domestically, the intervention helped keep Putin's ratings near record highs and served as a useful distraction at a time of economic pain. Amid brass bands and rousing speeches, state TV on Tuesday presented the decision to start drawing down forces as the culmination of a short, victorious war.
But though Putin's partial Syria withdrawal may be seen as a diplomatic coup by some, his country's return to the world stage has not been a complete success.
U.S. and EU sanctions imposed over the Ukraine crisis remain in place and compound a domestic financial crisis made worse by the collapse in oil prices.
And the decision to scale back Russian forces was, some analysts believe, conversely dictated more by weakness and a realization that Russia could not make a deal with the West over Syria to lift sanctions on it.
Others, including one Western diplomat who told Reuters the news came as a complete and inexplicable surprise, say Putin's motives are unfathomable.
"None of us knows what the intent of Mr Putin is when he carries out any action, which is why he is a very difficult partner in any situation like this," Britain's Hammond said on Tuesday.
Putin's move is being interpreted in some circles as an attempt to influence the outcome of Syrian peace talks in Geneva and possibly to put pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to get serious about doing a deal.
Yet few inside Russia believe Assad is in danger of losing Putin's support, even if the Kremlin does want him to contest any future presidential election.
Putin has shown no particular fondness for the Syrian leader but appears to see little point in replacing him with someone who might turn out to be even worse and does not believe Syria is ready for Western-style democracy anyway.
Putin has in any case hedged his bets.
If he feels his new-found global influence or Assad is threatened he can use the two military bases left behind to rapidly expand the Kremlin's military footprint.
His public relations strategy is also hedged.
"If the ceasefire turns into a lengthy peace he will automatically be considered the victor," said Carnegie's Baunov. "But if war breaks out again, he can always say: 'You see, when we were there everyone was making peace but after we left war erupted.'"

Episcopalians tackle the toughest lesson – forgiveness
By Pat McCaughan
[Episcopal News Service] Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven." Matthew 18:21-22
At least 90 percent of Georgia neuropsychologist Ona Graham's counseling work with individuals and families involves assisting those "who feel resentment and carry grudges and … teaching people how to identify where they're holding onto anger and hatred" and to seek and extend forgiveness.
"Anger is like a cloak we wrap ourselves in that cuts us off from God. I tell people that being resentful is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die. This is not what God wants for you," said Graham, 62, a parishioner at St. Nicholas Episcopal Church in Hamilton, Georgia.
Richard Blackburn, executive director of the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center in Lombard, Illinois, said rising societal anxiety impacts families and congregations. Minor misunderstandings can accelerate into chronic church conflict and damage congregational and even diocesan life.
"Forgiveness is crucial if we're going to be able to get beyond conflict and stay focused on mission and the purpose we have as the church," said Blackburn, in an interview with the Episcopal News Service. He estimated that he spends about 180 days yearly either educating about conflict or mediating disputes with a wide variety of church groups, including Episcopalians.
"Part of the fallout of chronic anxiety … is that people seem increasingly less able to look at [themselves] and to acknowledge their own part when conflict develops," Blackburn said. "People get stuck in this blaming mode and can't even see their own part. That is the key to forgiveness – all parties being willing to look at themselves and acknowledge that whenever there's conflict in relationships we all play a part in it."
It also helps, he said, to nurture a culture of forgiveness, reconciliation and awareness of God's ever-present grace given to everyone.
Forgiving self, cultivating transformation
About four decades ago, Los Angeles Bishop Jon Bruno shot and killed a man, something he still remembers daily.
Before he was ordained a priest and a bishop, he was an undercover police officer in Burbank, California, and had to make a split-second decision to save his partner's life.
A suspect had opened fire on them, Bruno told ENS recently. "He took one shot and it landed in the pole next to me," he recalled. "My partner stood up with a flashlight in his hand and shined it on him, which you're not supposed to do. The man turned and raised his arm to fire, so I shot him."
The suspect was someone he had come to know during his undercover investigation, Bruno said. "He had invited me into his home. I had bounced his kids on my knees," he said. "I shot him with a double-barreled shotgun and he died there at the scene. For a long time I woke up every night dreaming about what had happened. It was very painful to relive that every night of my life."
An investigation and coroner's inquest cleared Bruno of any wrongdoing but it wasn't until he sought counsel with an Episcopal priest that he was able to begin a process of forgiveness that ultimately led to transformation.
"He gave me absolution after I'd done the Reconciliation of a Penitent in the prayer book," Bruno recalled. "I had believed we had to suffer the reasonable consequences of our actions. I was convinced that I had committed a sin against God. At the time, I thought, what is this, that's going to take these things away? But I went home that night and slept peacefully."
It led to transformation. "It changed my attitude about what forgiveness was, it comes from the heart and mind as well as the presence of the holy, all in parallel at the same time and I've been open to forgiving people ever since."
Now, "every time I hear about a police-involved shooting, I pray for those people," Bruno said. "For years, I've been a chaplain for the police department here in Los Angeles, and I work with guys who've killed people. And what I tell them is, you need to forgive that person so you can forgive yourself, because the sin of anger is just as bad as the taking of a life.
"It tears you away from your center. It doesn't allow you to be fully human, it doesn't allow you to be a true follower of God."
Maryland: A tragedy turned transformational
Frank Kohn says he didn't have to search for ways to forgive his sister's murderer, but only to remember how she'd lived her life.
His sister, the Rev. Mary-Marguerite Kohn, co-rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, Maryland, was fatally shot in a widely publicized May 2012 incident. Also killed were the parish administrator, Brenda Brewington, and the shooter, Douglas Jones, who turned the gun on himself.
"Apparently, he was a frequent visitor to the church's food pantry and nobody knows what really happened because there aren't any living witnesses," Kohn told ENS.
"Obviously I didn't know this person and there's certainly anger I had for somebody who would do something like that in my family and affect my life that way, but I'm pretty certain that's not the way my sister would have dealt with it," he said. "She would have understood the situation he was in."
His sister was seven years his senior. She'd dedicated her life to ministry to the marginalized and those affected by trauma, said Kohn, 57, a plant pathologist. When the shooting occurred he immediately left his St. Louis home and headed to Baltimore where "the whole parish and community support enveloped me, and they were wonderful. As a result I have become very good friends with some of her close friends," he said.
More than a month after the funeral, on another trip to Baltimore, he also met members of Jones' family in a transformational moment. "They were actually renting a house adjacent to the church property. That may be the reason this guy was hanging around there. So the parish and this family knew each other well," Kohn said.
"It was immediately apparent how much suffering his family was going though because of what happened," he said. "They were certainly victims and they had nothing to do with what their brother and brother-in-law did."
Extending forgiveness was immediate, Kohn said. "I said I didn't think they had done anything to be forgiven for, but it was obvious it was like a huge weight off their shoulders. I had a chance to express our sympathy and understanding for what they going through as well."
The Rev. Tom Slawson, St. Peter's vicar, said the church renovated the space where the shootings happened, enlarging a chapel which since has been dedicated in commemoration of Kohn's ministry there.
The shootings also sparked "an almost collective repentance" among the previously conflicted congregation.
Maryland Bishop Eugene Sutton said the entire diocesan community has focused on cultivating a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. "The real issue is, the church constantly announces the kingdom has come with a spirit of reconciliation, compassion, forgiveness, justice and peace, and nobody else is saying that. The church is the institution that's going to get us there," Sutton said.
Forgiveness in baby steps
Sutton and others say the church is uniquely positioned to help society move toward forgiveness, Sutton said.
"The church is the only place saying that during every Eucharist whoever's sitting next to you or around you, you wish them God's blessings and peace … that I'm reconciling with you and I need to do that because God has forgiven me and I can't go to the table of the Lord and be fed by the Lord if I don't try to be a good host to those who've wronged me.
"We've all wronged the Lord and he still bids us welcome," Sutton said.
The Rev. Jeff Jackson, rector of St. Nicholas in Hamilton, near Atlanta, said the rite of reconciliation is another "wonderful way of teaching forgiveness.
"The Episcopal Church has a wonderful tradition, that God has given priests the gift of being able to listen and to pronounce that forgiveness, that absolution and it allows us to tangibly hear the words that God is speaking to us intangibly all the time, that we are forgiven and loved and that he will make us whole."
Graham, the neuropsychologist, offers a prescription for learning to forgive:
• Forego seeking vengeance
• Forbear or "stop pressing the replay button"
• Forgive or release the anger
• Forget the pain associated with it "and take the lesson that's there for you."
"If you're angry at someone," she said, "for the next two weeks ask God to give that person everything you want in your life and I guarantee you that, at the end of two weeks, you will see that person differently.
"You will start to see that person from God's point of view and then you'll have freedom of spirit."
–The Rev. Pat McCaughan is a correspondent with the Episcopal News Service.
The Rev. Fred Fenton says:
The Church tells people to forgive but fails to tell them HOW to forgive. Many years ago, Edith Stauffer, Ph.D. led a workshop at my Santa Monica parish on forgiveness. I saw people relieved of years of bitter resentments and failure to forgive. Adopting Dr. Stauffer's method, I have been able to do the same for individuals and, from the pulpit, helped whole congregations learn to forgive. I highly recommend Dr. Stauffer's book, "Unconditional Love and Forgiveness," (Triangle Publications, 1987) which outlines her approach.
Susan Zimmerman says:
…forgiveness is about asking a question and getting an answer
Beth Thrift says:
Forgiveness is truly a gift we give ourselves. And it doesn't require an apology from the one(s) we need to forgive, only that we cleanse our hearts and let go. As Wayne Dyer said, "Love is for giving…and forgiving."
Cindy Clark Selby says:
I have used Desmond and Mpho Tutu's Global Forgiveness Challenge with good results.
Dan Heard says:
Sally Rowan says:
It's possible to forgive someone who has hurt oneself without ever having an apology from them – it's one way to resolve wounds from many years ago, done by someone no longer alive. Few are ever able to truly forgive soon after the offense, and it can be very hard to see one person say immediately that they forgive another who has betrayed them and destroyed their life as it was. "Forgiving is what Christians do, and I'm a Christian….. 7 x 70…. " That forgiveness does not eliminate process in court.
It's probably harder for a parent to forgive someone who has hurt their child in any way, but especially in a way that is long-lasting. It will be hard to forgive a youth minister, teacher, theater staff, baby sitter, family members or others who sexually abuse a son, daughter, or spouse; it will be hard to forgive adults in their school to say or do things that hurt the child.
The Catch-22 of forgiveness is that it is only going to hurt oneself to not forgive someone who has wounded one deeply. It could be minor, and the person who did it might not even remember it, but it has been painful ever since it happened.

GOP Presidential Frontrunner: Fred Karger?
Senior ReporterBio | Follow
Gay GOP presidential candidate Fred Karger has been heavily campaigning in New Hampshire and Iowa this year, having been the first Republican to officially declare his candidacy. He's been working the youth vote, putting forward a proposal to lower the voting age and other ideas that might lure in young people to his campaign. The effort seems to be working: On Thursday night at St. Anselm College, Karger participated in a Republican presidential straw poll organized by the school's college Republicans. He is the only candidate to have actually addressed the students, and he ended up winning 79 out of the 322 votes cast, which made him the night's big winner, over Mitt Romney, who took second, and Donald Trump, who garnered but 26 votes. (The night's big loser: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who received a single vote.)
The win, however small, will no doubt help Karger's Federal Elections Commission complaint against Republicans in Iowa who refused to allow him to participate in an early presidential forum there last month. After a nice showing in the key primary state of New Hampshire, the GOP will have a hard time arguing to the FEC that Karger isn't a serious candidate.

Perimeter Postdoctoral Program and Gravitational Waves Initiative 2020, Waterloo, Canada
Each year Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics invites applications for postdoctoral positions, including named fellowships, from new and recent PhDs working in fundamental theoretical physics.
This year, Perimeter Institute is launching the Gravitational Waves Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to take advantage of the unique insights gravitational wave astronomy can provide into gravity, particle physics, cosmological large-scale structure, and transient astronomy across the electromagnetic spectrum. In tackling these fundamental issues, the Gravitational Waves Initiative brings together expertise in analytical and numerical approaches to studying the nonlinear regime of gravity, data analysis for gravitational wave observations, and connections to particle physics and cosmology. Candidates interested in joining this effort, especially those with a strong background in data analysis, are encouraged.
Most postdoctoral positions are offered for a period of three years. You may also be eligible for a named four-year postdoctoral fellowship including the Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Stephen Hawking, and Chien-Shiung Wu fellowships. Senior five-year fellowships are also available. Fellowships may, in addition, be offered jointly between Perimeter and partner institutes and universities.
Perimeter Institute is now accepting applications for the 2020/2021 academic year. The following information will be required to complete the application: Curriculum Vitae, Publications List, Research Statement, and Contact Information for three (3) referees. Applications are due November 1, 2019, while later application may also be considered.

Prudent Person Rule
A standard that requires that a fiduciary entrusted with funds for investment may invest such funds only insecuritiesthat any reasonable individual interested in receiving a good return of income while preserving his or her capital would purchase.
Historically known as the prudent or reasonable man rule, this standard does not mandate an individual to possess exceptional or uncanny investment skill. It requires only that a fiduciary exercise discretion and average intelligence in making investments that would be generally acceptable as sound.

Una república islàmica en el context actual, pot tenir diversos significats. Teòricament, es refereix a un estat amb una forma de govern teocràtica encapçalada o aconsellada pels líders religiosos musulmans de l'Orient Pròxim i l'Àfrica. En les repúbliques islàmiques, les lleis de l'estat han de ser compatibles amb les lleis de la xara o la llei islàmica, encara que l'estat s'organitzi com a república i no pas com a monarquia (com és el cas de la majoria dels estats de l'Orient Pròxim). En altres casos, però, el terme "república islàmica" és només un símbol d'identitat cultural.

A la República Islàmica d le'Iran, establerta el 1979, l'Assemblea d'Experts (que pot designar o deposar el Líder), el president i els membres d'un cos legislatiu són elegits per vot directe dels ciutadans segons allò que estableix la constitució. Els candidats han de ser aprovats pel Consell Guardià per poder ser reelegits. La República Islàmica d'Iran difereix de la República Islàmica del Pakistan (proclamada com a tal el 1956) atès que les lleis islàmiques en aquest últim estat són superiors a les lleis de l'estat, encara que de facto no sempre és el cas. Pakistan va ser el primer país a adoptar l'adjectiu "islàmic" per definir el seu estatus republicà sota la constitució secular de 1956. Malgrat aquesta definició, el país no va establir cap religió d'Estat abans del 1973, data en què es va escriure una nova constitució, més democràtica però menys secular.

Molts islamistes advoquen per la creació de les repúbliques islàmiques al llurs respectius territoris, encara que aquest ideal pot tenir diversos significats. Per a alguns, les monarquies de l'Orient Pròxim han de ser abolides per establir-hi repúbliques modernes. Per a d'altres, la creació de les repúbliques representa el retorn a l'islam atès que consideren que la secularització de llurs societats ha estat destructiva, i fins i tot volen la recreació dels califats.

En l'actualitat quatre repúbliques s'han anomenat «repúbliques islàmiques», encara que el grau en què s'aplica la llei islàmica difereix entre elles:
 la República Islàmica de l'Afganistan,
 la República Islàmica de Mauritània,
 la República Islàmica de l'Iran, i
 la República Islàmica del Pakistan

Q: Power series of $\mathrm{Log}(-\mathrm i z)$. I want to solve this problem:

Let $z_0\in \mathbb C$ such that $\mathrm{Re}\,z_0<0$, $\mathrm{Im}\,z_0<0$.
  Find the power series of $f(z)=\mathrm{Log}(-\mathrm i z)$ in terms of $z-z_0$ and find its radius of convergence.

I know the power series of $\mathrm{Log}(1+z)$, but I don't know how to use it here. Also, I don't know how to use the fact that $z_0$ is in the third quadrant.
