From The Paper (1)
Decent People
D.W. Harding, 2 August 1984
The plan Myers adopted of framing a discussion of 20th-century people and their problems in Akbar's India is vindicated by the freshness the novel has in this reissue fifty years after it was written. Finished when Myers was in his early fifties, it presents a mature and civilised man's experience of picking his way among the decent and the detestable people of a sophisticated civilisation. Features of the background – the dictator state, the secret intelligence service and its ubiquitous agents, an underground movement, rival religions associated with political factions, mass executions, unexplained murders, prostitutes accidentally involved in high politics – such things have certainly not grown more remote from us since the late 1920s when the first novel of the trilogy appeared. Nor has the difficulty diminished of isolating personal moral convictions from practical politics.–

Is Kansas governor headed to key religious liberty post?
Religious Liberty | Advocates applaud speculation Sam Brownback will be the next ambassador-at-large for international religious liberty
by Evan Wilt & J.C. Derrick
Posted 5/12/17, 05:54 pm
WASHINGTON—Human rights advocates are heaping praise on Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback as speculation grows that he will become the next ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom.
"As a U.S. senator, Gov. Brownback was second-to-none in advocacy for persecuted religious minorities in places such as Sudan," said Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. He said Brownback would be "amazingly effective" in the job: "A Brownback ambassadorship would make clear that the United States government takes seriously religious persecution around the world."
The 60-year-old Brownback, a conservative Catholic, served 14 years in the Senate before becoming governor of Kansas in 2011. He is two years into his second term, but also among the least popular governors in the country—with an approval rating below 30 percent. If nominated and confirmed, Brownback would vacate the governor's mansion.
The State Department directed an inquiry to the White House, which did not respond to requests for comment on the issue. Brownback's office would not directly address the potential appointment.
"Gov. Brownback is focused on his continued efforts to make Kansas the best state in America to raise a family and grow a business," communications director Melika Willoughby said in an email.
The bipartisan praise for Brownback comes a day after House and Senate lawmakers introduced resolutions calling on the administration to make international religious freedom a centerpiece of its foreign policy agenda. The resolutions called for President Donald Trump to immediately name an ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom—a post vacant since January.
Some observers thought Vice President Mike Pence—a close Brownback friend—would make an announcement when he addressed The World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians on Thursday. He did not mention the post or Brownback, but he declared the issue a top concern: "Protecting religious freedom is a foreign-policy priority of the Trump administration."
Several top religious freedom advocates declined to go on the record ahead of an official announcement, but some groups are already drafting press releases to rally around Brownback. They believe he would bring a high-profile presence to the office and could effectively leverage his deep contacts at the White House and on Capitol Hill.
"Sam Brownback would be a terrific choice," said Kent Hill, executive director of the Religious Freedom Institute. "He's highly competent, he's passionate about religious freedom, he knows the government. He's got all the credentials that would make him very successful."
Katrina Lantos Swett, a former Democrat-appointed chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), called Brownback "a strong choice" who would "provide powerful, committed, and high profile leadership to the post."
Congress created the ambassador position in the landmark International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. That legislation also created USCIRF and a religious freedom office within the State Department. Both offices compile annual reports about the state of religious freedom around the world, including highlighting countries of particular concern.
In December Congress passed legislation to update the 1998 law, including a provision that made the ambassador-at-large report directly to the secretary of state.
"Sam Brownback has the experience, talent, determination, and tenacity to effectively promote religious freedom around the world," said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who wrote the recent bill former President Barack Obama signed into law. "He is a man of deep religious faith and will work tirelessly to combat religious persecution and extremism."
Brownback would become only the fifth person to hold the position. Following a period of vacancies and decline, the office experienced a resurgence under Ambassador David Saperstein, who had the job during the last two years of the Obama presidency.
An appointment now would represent a vast improvement over the Bush and Obama presidencies: Both waited at least 16 months to nominate someone to the post.

Trump could drain the swamp better if he didn't continue to create or fill unnecessary government positions. Does America really need an "ambassador at large for international religious liberty?"
Paul B. Taylor
Right now our chief concern as Americans is not international religious liberty, but rather the danger that we face as anti-Christian psychosis is spreading in our great nation. If we can contain this, we will be better prepared to fight for Christianity around the world. Is there an office for national religious liberty? If not, why? It seems that national religious liberty should be more important for the USA than international religious liberty is for the world. In the final analysis, being without a governmental post for national religious liberty and having an ambassador at large for international religious liberty makes us a country of hypocrites.

Bolivia's President Evo Morales, wearing garland made from coca leaves, holds up the folder containing the newly-signed coca law at the presidential palace in La Paz, Bolivia, March 8, 2017.
Bolivia's leftist president Evo Morales signed a law Wednesday nearly doubling the amount of land for legally growing coca — the chief ingredient in cocaine.
"We want to guarantee coca supplies for life," he said in a long speech despite a raw and ailing throat from swollen vocal cords.
The bill raises the limit of coca crops farmers can plant from 12,000 hectares to 22,000 hectares.
Morales is a former indigenous coca farmer who still leads a coalition of coca farmers unions in Bolivia's Chapare region.
While coca can be used to produce cocaine, it's traditionally chewed throughout the Andes mountain regions as a mild stimulant to fend off hunger and to ease pain, thirst and tiredness.
When brewed as a tea, coca can prevent air sickness.
Coca leaves of Yungas region are pictured at the Coca Growers Association market in La Paz, Bolivia, March 7, 2017.
Morales expelled U.S. Drug Enforcement agents from Bolivia in 2008, accusing them of spying on him and helping the opposition.
Opposition lawmakers are decrying the new coca law, saying it will increase cocaine production and attract hordes of drug traffickers.
Some coca farmers' unions also oppose the law. They say the crop grown in the Morales'-backed Chapare is not as good as that grown in what they call the "traditional regions," and would primarily be used in cocaine.

Five Basic Facts About How OSHA Works to Prevent Workplace Injury
Purpose is to Prevent Work Injuries and Death– Congress enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the OSH Act), 29 U.S.C.A. § 651 to § 678, to "assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources." 29 U.S.C.A. § 651(b); see Gonzalez v. Ideal Tile Importing Co., Inc., 371 N.J. Super. 349, 359 (App. Div. 2004).
Department of Labor Enforces it- a Cabinet Level Position– In pursuing those goals, Congress authorized the Secretary of Labor to promulgate health and safety standards for workplaces, 29 U.S.C.A. § 655, and established the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to enforce those standards through inspections and investigations, 29 U.S.C.A. § 657; Gonzalez, supra.
"Employers" Are the Focus– The OSHA Act requires "employers" to comply with specific OSHA standards and also imposes a general duty on employers to provide a workplace "free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm." 29 U.S.C.A. § 654(a); Gonzalez, supra at 359-60. "Employers" includes ALL contractors on a work site, especially general contractors. Specifically, the OSHA regulations provide that "no contractor or subcontractor for any part of the contract work shall require any laborer or mechanic employed in the performance of the contract to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to his health or safety." 29 C.F.R. § 1926.20. It is ultimately the general contractor who must enforce these Regulations and determine whether or not they are being followed by the subcontractors. 29 C.F.R. § 1926.16.
General Contractor Can Not Push its Safety Duty off to Another– a general contractor cannot delegate its duties to maintain a safe workplace under the federal OSHA regulations to another; but rather, the general contractor must maintain overall responsibility for the project. 29 C.F.R. §1926.16 (emphasis added); see Alloway v. Bradlees, supra at 237-38. (a general contractor on a work site has a non-delegable duty to maintain a safe workplace that includes "ensur[ing] 'prospective and continuing compliance' with the legislatively imposed non-delegable obligation to all employees on the job site, without regard to contractual or employer obligations.")
Modest Fines and Penalties Can Also be Imposed– Violators of specific OSHA standards or OSHA's general duty to provide a safe workplace face civil monetary penalties. 29 U.S.C.A. § 666. Gonzalez, supra. These usually only amount to a few thousands of dollars. As a practical matter, a contractor's liability does not hinge on whether or not OSHA investigated the incident or issued a citation. OSHA has limited resources and can not be on all jobs all the time. Probably more incidents go unreported than OSHA knows about and were liability to turn on the resources allocated to that federal agency then the purpose and intent behind law for the protection of workers would never be met. Civil liability is critical to deter unsafe contractors.

Is there any work out there which makes a serious attempt at reconciling practical individual psychology with the insights of Marxist/Situationist/Frankfurt School materialist cultural theory? It's not really enough to say that individual consciousness is "interpolated" in the structures of late capitalist mass culture. Until we understand exactly how it happens, through what processes, and how to reverse-engineer the effect, the marketing geniuses and media priests will be able to defeat or recuperate any grassroots movement before it properly gets going.
To some degree, I'm fed up with art and magick and I want to start going at this on a proper scientific basis. The urgency of the project is such that dilettante methods are no longer adequate.
ETA: I'm gratified to note that, for something I knocked off in five minutes and wrote for effect rather than meaning, the Chaos Marxist Manifesto (see sidebar) is still being read and linked to by the most interesting people. Welcome, new people.
What an impediment to dialog this policy is and perhaps the main reason I haven't bothered posting comments here in the past, even though at times it can be quite interesting and at other times in desperate need of some criticism.
But how about sketching out the difference between science, art and magic, and why the first is serious while the other two are dilettantist.
An interesting text may be the Art of Memetics by Wes Unruh and and Edward Wilson. While there is a focus on magic(k) within the book, it also looks at marketing, memetic theory and networks.
http://www.greylodge.org/gpc/?p=1357 if you want to download a version of it. Its not especially scientific, I'll admit, but it goes into the nuts and bolts of the theory, allowing for its ideas to be tested.
Beyond that, I haven't much in the way of suggestions I'm afraid. I have a fair few books on marketing and psychology I have yet to read however, so if I find anything of potential use, I'll be sure to pass a recommendation or link along.


Die cutting is the process of using shaped blade tools that can produce precise forms, holes and indentations in materials. The end result is a dimensionally accurate product that can be installed directly (gaskets, front panels, jigsaw puzzles) or can be folded into packaging or stands.
Special cutters – high blades >> bubble wrap >> food packaging >> heat sealing.
Different heights, widths, strengths and profiles of blades enable wide opportunities for serial manufacturing. Gaskets, seals, protective packaging and consumer products get their final form with a die cut.
The materials can be varied. Thin membranes need a precisely bent and joined die cut. Cutting foam requires the correct type of blade and angle.
Polytronic has been producing this kind of tools for 30 years.
We have a large selection of blade widths, angles and types in stock. The rigidity of the body material has also a significant effect on the finish. Joints will need to be perfected by TIG-welding or with support pieces.
Polytronic designs and manufactures special tools to fulfill the needs of different branches of industry. We create blades for deep drawing molds and tools for heat molding according to our customers' specific needs.
With an aluminum heat molding tool, you can cut and mold simultaneously. Products manufactured this way include Yoga mats, sports padding and ergonomics equipment.
Deep drawing molds and ring blades require precision. We can minimize the number of joints and TIG-weld them together. The produced de cut is dimensionally accurate and ready to attached to machinery.

Rio de Janeiro [izgovori ˈʁi.u dʒi ʒaˈnejɾu]] (portugalsko za 'januarska reka') je velemesto in sedež istoimenske zvezne države v jugovzhodni Braziliji. Rio slovi po plažah Copacabana in Ipanema, obkroženima s hoteli, po velikem kipu Kristusa Odrešenika (špansko Cristo Redentor) na gori Corcovado in po vsakoletnem pustnem karnevalu. Poleg tega ima velemesto največji gozd znotraj kakega urbanega območja, ki se imenuje Floresta da Tijuca.

Rio de Janeiro leži na 22° 54' južne zemljepisne širine in 43° 14' zahodne zemljepisne dolžine. Mestna občina ima skoraj 7 milijonov prebivalcev (po oceni leta 2018) in pokriva površino 1256 km², število prebivalcev širšega mestnega (metropolitanskega) območja pa ocenjujejo na več kot 13 milijonov. S tem je za São Paulom drugo največje brazilsko mesto, do preselitve prestolnice v Brasílio v letu 1960 pa je opravljalo tudi to vlogo.

Kraj, kjer danes stoji mesto, so januarja 1501 kot prvi Evropejci dosegli portugalski raziskovalci, ki jih je vodil Italijan Amerigo Vespucci. Mislili so, da je Guanabarski zaliv estuarij, zato so ga poimenovali Januarska reka. Mesto je bilo ustanovljeno šele 1. marca leta 1565, ko ga je portugalski vitez Estácio de Sá v čast svojega kralja Sebastjana I. imenoval São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro (Sveti Sebastijan Januarske reke). Mesto je zraslo ob vznožju gore Sladkorni stožec (Pão-de-Açúcar), vendar so kasneje, v skladu s srednjeveškim načinom obrambe, trdnjavo prestavili na vrh Grajskega griča (Morro do Castelo).

Kljub temu, da se velemesto v mnogih vidikih lahko uvršča med najsodobneje urejena na svetu, veliko prebivalcev živi v favelah, v zelo slabih življenjskih pogojih.

Geografija

Mesto stoji na razmeroma ozki priobalni ravnici ob atlantski obali blizu Kozorogovega povratnika, nad katerim se dviguje hribovje Serra do Mar, ki predstavlja južni del Brazilskega višavja. Središče mesta je ob zahodnem bregu Guanabarskega zaliva, novejši predeli na jugozahodu pa stojijo neposredno na oceanski strani. Dostop do slednjih otežujejo obronki hribovja Serra do Mar z ikonično goro Sladkorni stožec (Pão de Açúcar) ob ustju zaliva, ki je eden od simbolov mesta. Višavje se razteza v smeri od vzhoda proti zahodu in deli Rio de Janeiro na severno in južno cono. Porašča ga razmeroma neokrnjen oceanski deževni gozd Tijuca, ki je zavarovan kot narodni park Floresta da Tijuca in velja za največji mestni gozd na svetu. Znotraj parka med drugim stoji gora Corcovado s kipom Kristusa Odrešenika. V grobem severne predele mesta sestavljajo delavska naselja in industrijska območja, v južnih predelih blizu oceana pa prebiva srednji in višji sloj prebivalcev. Slednji so med drugim znani po slavnih plažah, kot sta Copacabana in Ipanema. Dostopnejši so postali šele v začetku 20. stoletja, ko so skozi gorsko pregrado proti severu izvrtali številne predore.

Kultura

Šport
V mestu je med letoma 1936 in  potekala dirka za Veliko nagrado Ria de Janeira.

Mesto je bilo izbrano za organizacijo poletnih olimpijskih iger leta 2016, kot prvo južnoameriško mesto, ki je gostilo olimpijske igre. V ta namen so v Riu zgradili 32 novih športnih objektov in posodobili infrastrukturo.

PES hopes that Macedonian Parliament will respect the result of the referendum
Macedonian prime minister Zoran Zaev announces that more than 600 000 citizens have voted "Yes" for the European Future of the country.
The Party of European Socialists notes that an overwhelming majority of Macedonian voters said 'yes' to the European future of the country in yesterday's referendum and expects Macedonian parliament to further work for it. Unfortunately, the referendum failed to meet the minimum participation of 50%.
PES president Sergei Stanishev said:
'A remarkable number of Macedonians went to the polls yesterday to support the deal that will allow for EU and NATO membership negotiations. The context of this referendum was a very difficult one, with a terribly irresponsible boycott from the VMRO - DPMNE party, an EPP member, and a large-scale disinformation campaign. The result of the pro-EU camp has a lot of merit. The country needs to seize this historic opportunity before it is gone for another generation'.
'The PES commends Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and his social democratic party - our member party SDSM - for the good campaign they run. The 90% yes vote from those who went to the polling stations is a big success and an indication of the will of the citizens. But the obscene nationalism displayed by the VMRO-DPMNE Party could be lethal for the European future of the country'.
'We encourage the government majority and the Macedonian parliament in full to continue to work for a name change that will clear the European and NATO path for the country and prevent future diplomatic isolation'.

There Are No Fixed Stars
Home from Home: New BBC Sitcom by Chris Fewtrell and Simon Crowther
Wed, 2nd May 2018 Emma Hynes Coronation Street, Sitcom Leave a comment
Chris Fewtrell (left) and Simon Crowther (right) are two names with which Coronation Street fans will no doubt be well familiar, both having written for the soap for fourteen and twelve years respectively. In that time, they have brought a myriad of storylines to life through their carefully crafted scripts.
In looking back at episodes they've written which have resonated with me, some in particular stand out. With Simon, I count the one in which Jack Duckworth passed away as one of the best I've seen in my time watching the show. In it, we were witnessing the death of a legendary Corrie character in more ways than one, as we saw a man experiencing an encroaching distance between himself and the world around him before he became reunited with wife Vera in death, and it was intensely moving. He also wrote a key episode as part of the 'Who Killed Tina?' storyline, where Rob Donovan pushed her from the builders yard balcony.
When it comes to Chris, regular readers of the blog will be accustomed to me writing about his work over the years. We recently asked viewers to choose their single favourite episode of Corrie. A tall order! But, mine was one by Chris which directly followed Deirdre's funeral in 2015. Slow paced, dialogue-heavy and covering just two locations, as friends reminisced in the Rovers, and the Barlows thrashed it out next door, it was sublime. Other key episodes for me which were written by him include the deaths of Michael Rodwell and Kylie Platt, and a beautiful episode from December 2013 in which terminally ill Hayley's Christmas wish is simply to see the daffodils in spring.
The Hackett family (Little Neil (HARVEY CHAISTY), Neil (JOHNNY VEGAS), Fiona (NIKY WARDLEY), Garth (OSCAR KENNEDY)(Image Credit: BBC/James Stack)
Given the calibre of both writers, I was very excited to learn that they had created and written a new sitcom together which is currently airing on BBC One. Home from Home is a six-part series telling the story of the Hackett family who have fulfilled their dream of buying a lodge in the Lake District where dad, Neil (Johnny Vegas), is determined to have the perfect time for his family of four.
Reining in Neil's enthusiasm for a flawless adventure for his clan mightn't be such a challenge were he not neighboured by the infuriatingly accomplished Robert, played to perfection by Adam James. On encountering this perceived challenge to his manhood, Neil's resolve becomes less about making decisions that please himself and the family than being better than Robert, often at the impossible. Buoyed by the enthusiasm of youngest son Little Neil (Harvey Chaisty), his resolve persists despite doubtful, yet benevolent, looks from wife Fiona (Niky Wardley) who is reluctantly supportive of his efforts, and the pained stoicism of older son Garth (Oscar Kennedy) who is every bit the awkward, yet endearing teenager.
The Dillons (Robert (ADAM JAMES), Penny (EMILIA FOX)(Image credit: BBC/James Stack)
What's wonderful is that Neil's battle against this male embodiment of everything he perceives he isn't is one-sided. Rival Robert has no interest in one-upmanship which makes it impossible not to like him. In fact, every character is endearing and relatable, which is quite a feat when they engage in conflict at various points as things develop, and the main protagonist experiences jealousy, envy, disappointment and anger throughout. I think the key to this is that Neil's suffering is at the hands of himself rather than the person he's pitting himself against, and this makes him sympathetic while absolving the other characters of blame for his self-inflicted victimhood. Johnny Vegas succeeds in silently conveying what's really at the heart of Neil's actions in those quiet moments between his disastrous attempts at achievement. The rest of the cast have no choice but to be on the journey with him, and in turn evoke empathy and sympathy by their very situation. Their ability to make the most of it is another contributory factor to ensuring their likeability.
Robert's wife Penny (Emilia Fox) is also a disdainful joy to behold, whether smoking on a climb or musing loftily over how she thought her life would end, and their adopted daughter Petra (Olive Gray) is an intelligent, good humoured teenager who reacts with respect and kindness, not cruelty, when Garth's crush is exposed by his little brother. Indeed, Harvey Chaisty's authentic performance in the role of Little Neil is a consistent source of humour.
Mercy (ELAINE PAIGE)(Image Credit: BBC)
Elaine Paige is a very welcome surprise in episode two, and marvellous as Neil's confident, flirty, mother, Mercy. Even though she clearly riles Fiona (would anyone want to see their mother-in-law arrive at the Acropolis on their honeymoon to Greece?) she is an absolute delight. Nor do we like Fiona any less for her frustration. Again, all characters prove relatable at some point. The pairing of Mercy with Paul Barber in the part of Fieldhouse is a joy, and I hope we haven't seen the last of either of them. In fact, while Paul has already had a couple of stints on Coronation Street, I could imagine this pair treading the cobbles, and would happily see Mercy dragging her leopard print cases out of a taxi and up to The Rovers' door.
The programme is a lovely watch which aptly captures the joys and fond frustrations of the family holiday. The comedy is as airy and warm as the beautiful Lake District cutaways that have me vowing to visit for the umpteenth time, but there is also enough spice in there to ensure it's in no way saccharine.
From a writing perspective, you can hear both their voices in the script, which is interesting to observe if you're a fan of seeing how collaborations are borne out. Aside from the show being a very enjoyable watch, knowing the work of both Chris and Simon on Corrie, it's intriguing from the point of view of seeing how writers we know well in one arena bring their ideas and work together to create something new in another. If this does interest you, I'd recommend taking a look at their brilliant interview for BBC Writers Room in which they talk about their paths to writing for Corrie, how they approached writing this programme, and who inspires them.
Home from Home airs Fridays on BBC One at 9.30pm, and I highly recommend tuning in. If you've missed the first two episodes, you can watch them on the BBC iPlayer. This week's third episode, with added Susan Calman in the role of Lorraine Sykes, sees Neil throw a party in an attempt to rectify his lack of popularity, but we're told his plan backfires when Robert proves to be the life and soul of the party.
I'm looking forward to it already!

While the hacks at CNN spend much of their time accusing Fox News and other conservative media outlets of spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories, they also spend plenty of time disseminating absurd conspiracy theories of their own.

Curtis Houck
Wednesday afternoon during the second Trump impeachment vote, CNN's The Lead and State of the Union co-host Jake Tapper lobbed a disgusting and vile attack on Republican Congressman Brian Mast (FL) for voting against impeachment, questioning whether the Army veteran and double-amputee is truly committed to upholding and defending the Constitution and American democracy.
Stossel Column: Don't Freak Out!

Worried about Tuesday? Remember: The most important parts of life happen outside politics. Love, friendship, family, raising children, building businesses, worship, charity work -- that is the stuff of life! Politicians get in the way of those things. But despite the efforts of power-hungry Republicans and Democrats, life gets better. You may not believe that. Surveys show most people think…
'Hiccups': CNN Dismisses Military Ballots for Trump Found in Dumpster
Mark Finkelstein
CNN's New Day energetically dismissed the significance of nine military ballots, seven of which were identified as being for President Trump [the two others apparently still sealed], having been found discarded in a Pennsylvania dumpster.

Goldberg Continues Digging His Own Grave Despite GLOWING Praise
September 9th, 2020 12:10 AM
Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg must have thought early Tuesday evening that he was making matters better when he appeared on CNN's The Situation Room to discuss his hit piece against President Trump, but despite host Wolf Blitzer's gushing praise for his "amazing" "bombshell" we all should be "grateful" for, he continued to undermine the central claims of his tale…

Kristine Marsh
September 8th, 2020 3:09 PM
The View returned Tuesday for its 24th season and predictably, they had a lot to blame President Trump for. The hosts kicked off the show talking about whether or not the president's "law and order" message would help him win in November. Co-host Sunny Hostin ranted the violence on the streets was caused by Trump supporters because he was "encouraging" violence. Clinging to the…

Goldberg Defends Anonymous Sources: They Feared 'Angry Tweets'
Alex Christy
On Thursday, The Atlantic ran a truly damning piece accusing President Trump of saying that a cemetery of marines who died at the Battle of Belleau Wood, one of the most important battles of World War I and in the history of the Marine Corps, is "filled with losers" and that they were "suckers" for getting killed. However, there was a problem. Editor-in-chief Jeffrey…

A site called Vacation Home Rentals, acquired by TripAdvisor earlier this year, released a list of The Best Restaurant in Every State in the USA (in case it wasn't clear to readers or Google search metrics which country these states were in). Maine's representative is Petite Jacqueline in Portland. Per the introduction, "These winners were chosen based on a mouth-watering menu, impeccable service, delightful atmosphere and positive traveler feedback." Beyond the introduction and a link to each restaurant's website, there's no real information provided about the selections.
The Culture Trip, which bills itself as "a one-stop, global website, showcasing the best of art, food, culture and travel for every country in the world," takes a look at Bangor's 10 Best Local Restaurants. The list is diverse, including everything from The Fiddlehead Restaurant ("The menu takes a grown-up approach to comfort food classics") and Brewster's Fine Food and Drink ("The menu boasts classic snacks for excellent value") to Cielos Mexican Grill food truck ("prepares Mexican food so authentically fresh that it has voracious Tex-Mex devotees queuing for miles") and even Nocturnem Draft Haus, (which seems out of place in a restaurant round-up, touted as it is mainly for its drink selection).
MaineToday's Susan Axelrod rounds up Five Great Places to Eat in Brunswick, another diverse list suggesting "You can (almost) go around the world via food in Brunswick." Tao Yuan is a reliable selection, with "uncommon food prepared expertly." El Camino Cantina's Mexican food "gets consistently high marks" in a fun, kitschy setting. Enoteca Athena's "stylish, casual atmosphere" and "flavorful" Greek and Italian cuisine are a "winning formula." Frontier and Gurnet Trading Co. are praised as well.

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I found it really tough to get my head around the idea of what the baby might wear or sleep in… but I knew she'd need nappies! Somewhere along the way, I was introduced to Modern Cloth Nappies and was just blown away by the range of colours, styles, fabrics and designs… there really is something for every tooshie! Three years later and the nappies are still going strong on my second bubba and I'm a huge fan.
This week is Cloth Nappy Week and we're thrilled to bring you some great articles and promotions to help celebrate. Here at Kiwi Families, we think that we've got the best information on nappies around and are so proud to be supporting Cloth Nappy Week. We've also just finished a HUGE cloth nappy review with nappies from 10 different suppliers… check out what our reviewers thought of them… And of course we have some great deals for you to celebrate Cloth Nappy Week so if you've been thinking about cloth nappies, make the most of these great offers.
Happy Cloth Nappy Week, everyone!


What's a front end designer/developer? - Rachel Nabors, award-winning cartoonist turned digital storyteller.
What's a front end designer/developer?
Update Jan 24, 2011 Yet another term: "front-end engineer" appears in this excellent write-up on what qualities to look for when hiring a front-ender. Do give it a read.
I consider myself a front-end designer. When I go to Refresh, a local web design/development meetup, and the host asks the crowd who's a developer and who's a designer, I never know when to raise my hand. True, I design a lot of things. But at my day job, I rarely design an entire site from top to bottom (with the exception of our mobile site). Usually I work with a team to design something. I'm rarely the star of the show, but I don't mind because I believe great things can come from team work. And while I do much with markup and code, I don't feel like a developer either, because I don't build PHP newsletter applications on a regular basis. So just what is a front-end designer/developer? And which is it, developer or designer?
Wrangle at least one CMS, preferably more.
Craft a mobile version of a site.
So what do you think a front-ender is? Or is it a completely arbitrary title?

The year has just started and the first Saturday of 2019 turns out to be an auspicious one. According to Hindu calendar, Saturday, January 5 is Shani Amavasya (शनि अमावस्) which means that the first moon will be falling on a Saturday - an auspicious yog. Those who will offer prayers on this day will be set free from all Shani doshas hence it is important, auspicious and significant.
The date of Shani Amavasya (शनि अमावस्) this year is Saturday, January 5, 2019.
The Shani Amavasya (शनि अमावस्) will last till 6:58 PM on January 5, 2019.
Lord Shani is the Karmic donor. He is aggressive but is believed to set you on the right path in life. On this day of Shani Amavasya, it is believed that Lord Saturn will fulfill all your wishes and desires. It is also considered to be an auspicious day to get relief from the obstacles caused due to kalsarpa yoga, dhaiyaa and sadesati. Since it is one of the most dear days to Lord Shani, one must offers prayers and perform puja to get rid of all the obstacles in life caused by Saturn. The only way to keep Shani happy is to stay religious and righteous in life. Do your karma and he will make sure things fall in place for you.
Before your perform the puja, take bath in holy river or from the water of holy river (Gangajal). Blue flowers, bel patra, rice are important to be offered to the lord. You must recite the mantra "Om Shan Shaneshacharya Namah" and "Om Pram Preem Proma Shan Shaneshcharya Namah" while offering your prayers. You must pray and donate mustard oil, jaggery, black sesame, urad dal on this day. Recite Shani Chalisa, Hanuman Chalisa and Bajrang Ban path on the day of Shani Amavasya (शनि अमावस्).
When someone offers prayers to Lord Shani with a pure heart, Shani always grants positive results.
1. It is very an important puja for those undergoing an unfavorable transit (ShaniSaadeSaati).
2. People who are facing misfortunes frequently should perform it.
3. A powerful remedy, Shani puja is great for those suffering from evil eye or black magic.
4. In case there is any prolonged illness, this puja shows great results.
5. It is an effective way to dilute the negative karmas.
6. Helpful in case of depression, low confidence etc.
7. It is extremely beneficial for those in the service sector.


How does a girl cope when the weather gets downright hostile, and the wind, no respecter of persons, makes you feel as though you're wearing a bikini rather than a perfectly serviceable bomber (that's assuming you're not doing skimpy, of course)? We'll tell you how – the robe coat is trending right now, so say hello to your comfort blanket for autumn 2014. Wrap it around you, snuggle into it, and just ignore the outside world.
You may think that it superficially resembles the gown that you bundle on when you stumble out of bed in the morning, or the garment that you take to the shower, but we'd like to respectfully point out that you're mistaken. Take a second look – its long silhouette makes it way more elegant than that, and as for style, you'll have no trouble in finding your perfect partner for winter days. Just look to the runways for inspiration.
Altazurra's brightly coloured grids combined with the belt to define shape, while Louis Vuitton leaned towards retro with a floral print, with Céline, Chloe, Richard Chai Love among other designers who ran with the robe coat. Cashmere looks – and feels – just great for this fashion. It's cosy, soft, but always oh-so-chic. So naturally, it put in several appearances, from Fendi's two-tone felted take, to Bottega Veneta's oversized kind.
Dries van Noten banished draughts with a quilted and zipped version, and to cheer us on dark days, magicked an optic wave stripe in pink and grey. In fact, you'll be spoilt for choice between plaid, houndstooth, tweed, and Vivenne Westwood's woven wrap. Maybe you should pass them all, and opt instead for head-to-toe red in coat and boots, à la Donna Karan.
Keep it pulled tight over a pencil slim skirt and fitted knit, a tailored dress and over the knee boots. Alternatively, open up the front to jeans or slim pants, and a turtle neck. Retreat inside a roomy hood for the ultimate in warmth. This easy-to-wear item is a shamelesss flatterer too, with its belt pulling in the coat, and giving you the kind of waist that made Victorian ladies prone to swooning.
Collars come in dual shades, sheepskin edged, or in the case of Altazurra, outsize and in danger of becoming secondary robes themselves. Wear your robe coat as a jacket or a maxi, but don't take it off until spring.
Wear the robe coat trend with skinny cropped jeans and ankle boots to steal Kenza Zouiten's classy and sophisticated style, and throw on a pair of cool shades to get that extra edge!

When it comes to transportation and distribution of AGD, RTV, furniture, or hardware, it is not possible to just leave the boxes at the home or office front doors. There is needed paperwork and signing of the documents. How to do this during the COVID-19 crisis, when every contact could be a possible threat?
Voice Sign is the solution. It is a service that enables signing the documents confirming the delivery with voice usage. The delivery person has an additional feature in his mobile application. It is a matter of one click, and customers agree to sign electronically. The user has to recite the proper form, and the spoken confirmation is recorded.
The other solution that the company prepared is Touch Free signing by SMS. It works very simply. The delivery person chooses this option in his / her app. The user receives an SMS with a unique and safe link to the webpage with all the details of the delivery. There is also a confirmation button that electronically signing the document. The customer uses his or her own smartphone, so the risks of danger contact are lowered to a minimum.
Both solutions were implemented on Monday night. Now is the time to observe the reactions of both companies and customers using Voice Sign or Touch Free features.

Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ: Part 13
"The Outside and the Inside and the Secret of Fear of the Secret"
Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder • 1980 • Germany
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's controversial, fifteen-hour BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ, based on Alfred Döblin's great modernist novel, was the crowning achievement of a prolific director who, at age thirty-four, had already made over thirty films. Fassbinder's immersive epic follows the hulking, childlike ex-convict Franz Biberkopf (Günter Lamprecht) as he attempts to "become an honest soul" amid the corrosive urban landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With equal parts cynicism and humanity, Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of a common man struggling to survive in a viciously uncommon time.

The Decline of Amnesty International
Although largely forgotten, the Bosnian War remains the defining conflict of our age, reshaping what it means to be left or right wing. The sight of Europe standing by while Serbs slaughtered the Bosnian Muslims was a major recruiting tool for Islamo-fascism. The supposedly centre-right Major government disgraced itself by anticipating Michael Moore and degenerating into ever more bizarre anti-Americanism and the left, which claims to be against Islamphobia, was just as bad. (I cover the confusions and betrayals of the time in my book What's Left?) As I and many others noted the most devious apologist for crimes against humanity was Noam Chomsky. It is a sign of the decadence of Amnesty International, an organization which professes to oppose crimes against humanity, that it has invited the professor to deliver a lecture in Ireland.
My colleague Ed Vulliamy, whose honest coverage of Bosnia infuriated Chomsky and his crew, delineates in detail Amnesty's shame.
I have been contacted by a number of people regarding Amnesty International's invitation to Professor Noam Chomsky to lecture in Northern Ireland.
The communications I have received regard Prof. Chomsky's role in revisionism in the story of the concentration camps in northwestern Bosnia in 1992, which it was my accursed honour to discover.
As everyone interested knows, a campaign was mounted to try and de-bunk the story of these murderous camps as a fake – ergo, to deny and/or justify them – the dichotomy between these position still puzzles me.
The horror of what happened at Omarska and Trnopolje has been borne out by painful history, innumerable trials at the Hague, and – most importantly by far – searing testimony from the survivors and the bereaved. These were places of extermination, torture, killing, rape and, literally "concentration" prior to enforced deportation, of people purely on grounds of ethnicity.
Prof. Chomsky was not among those ("Novo" of Germany and "Living Marxism" in the UK) who first proposed the idea that these camps were a fake. He was not among those who tried unsuccessfully (they were beaten back in the High Court in London, by a libel case taken by ITN) to put up grotesque arguments about fences around the camps, which were rather like Fred Leuchter's questioning whether the thermal capacity of bricks was enough to contain the heat needed to burn Jews at Auschwitz. But Professor Chomsky said many things, from his ivory tower at MIT, to spur them on and give them the credibility and energy they required to spread their poisonous perversion and denials of these sufferings. Chomsky comes with academic pretensions, doing it all from a distance, and giving the revisionists his blessing. And the revisionists have revelled in his endorsement.
In an interview with the Guardian, Professor Chomsky paid me the kind compliment of calling me a good journalist, but added that on this occasion (the camps) I had "got it wrong". Got what wrong?!?! Got wrong what we saw that day, August 5th 1992 (I didn't see him there)? Got wrong the hundreds of thousands of families left bereaved, deported and scattered asunder? Got wrong the hundreds of testimonies I have gathered on murderous brutality? Got wrong the thousands whom I meet when I return to the commemorations? If I am making all this up, what are all the human remains found in mass graves around the camps and so painstakingly re-assembled by the International Commission for Missing Persons?
These people pretend neutrality over Bosnia, but are actually apologists for the Milosevic/Karadzic/Mladic plan, only too pathetic to admit it. And the one thing they never consider from their armchairs is the ghastly, searing, devastating impact of their game on the survivors and the bereaved. The pain they cause is immeasurable. This, along with the historical record, is my main concern. It is one thing to survive the camps, to lose one's family and friends – quite another to be told by a bunch of academics with a didactic agenda in support of the pogrom that those camps never existed. The LM/Novo/Chomsky argument that the story of the camps was somehow fake has been used in countless (unsuccessful) attempts to defend mass murderers in The Hague.
For decades I have lived under the impression that Amnesty International was opposed to everything these people stand for, and existed to defend exactly the kind of people who lost their lives, family and friends in the camps and at Srebrenica three years later, a massacre on which Chomsky has also cast doubt. I have clearly been deluded about Amnesty. For Amnesty International, of all people, to honour this man is to tear up whatever credibility they have estimably and admirably won over the decades, and to reduce all they say hitherto to didactic nonsense.
Why Amnesty wants to identify with and endorse this revisionist obscenity, I do not know. It is baffling and grotesque. By inviting Chomsky to give this lecture, Amnesty condemns itself to ridicule at best, hurtful malice at worst – Amnesty joins the revisionists in spitting on the graves of the dead. Which was not what the organisation was, as I understand, set up for. I have received a letter from an Amnesty official in Northern Ireland which reads rather like a letter from Tony Blair's office after it has been caught out cosying up to British Aerospace or lying over the war in Iraq – it is a piece of corporate gobbledygook, distancing Amnesty from Chomsky's views on Bosnia, or mealy-mouthedly conceding that they are disagreed with.
There is no concern at all with the victims, which is, I suppose, what one would expect from a bureaucrat. In any event, the letter goes nowhere towards addressing the revisionism, dispelling what will no doubt be a fawning, self-satisfied introduction in Belfast and rapturous applause for the man who gives such comfort to Messrs Karadzic and Mladic, and their death squads. How far would Amnesty go in inviting and honouring speakers whose views it does not necessarily share, in the miserable logic of this AI official in Belfast? A lecture by David Irving on Joseph Goebbels? Alistair Campbell on how Saddam really did have those WMD? The Chilean Secret Police or Colonel Oliver North on the communist threat in Latin America during the 70s and 80s? What about Karadzic himself on the "Jihadi" threat in Bosnia, and the succulence of 14-year-old girls kept in rape camps?
I think I am still a member of AI – if so, I resign. If not, thank God for that. And to think: I recently came close to taking a full time job as media director for AI. That was a close shave – what would I be writing now, in the press release: "Come and hear the great Professor Chomsky inform you all that the stories about the camps in Bosnia were a lie – that I was hallucinating that day, that the skeletons of the dead so meticulously re-assembled by the International Commission for Missing Persons are all plastic? That the dear friends I have in Bosnia, the USA, the UK and elsewhere who struggle to put back together lives that were broken by Omarska and Trnopolje are making it all up?
Some press release that would have been. Along with the owner of the site of the Omarska camp, the mighty Mittal Steel Corporation, Amnesty International would have crushed it pretty quick. How fitting that Chomsky and Mittal Steel find common cause. Yet how logical, and to me, obvious. After all, during the Bosnian war, it was the British Foreign Office, the CIA, the UN and great powers who, like the revisionists Chomsky champions, most eagerly opposed any attempt to stop the genocide that lasted, as it was encouraged by them and their allies in high politics to last, for three bloody years from 1992 until the Srebrenica massacre of 1995.
Yours, in disgust and despair,
Ed Vulliamy,

Berlinale's European Film Market Set to Go Online, Festival Will Stay In-Person (EXCLUSIVE)
Elsa Keslassy and Manori Ravindran
UPDATE: The European Film Market, which runs alongside the Berlin Film Festival, will be held online for the second consecutive year due to the pandemic. The festival, meanwhile, hopes to be maintained as an in-person event, Variety can reveal.
Organizers have confirmed that the EFM has changed gears following a rise in COVID-19 cases in Germany. The festival is still being planned as an in-person event in February, although a final decision will only come early next week after discussions with various levels of federal and state government. A spokesperson has ruled out the possibility of a summer event (like last year's largely domestic June gathering) or a virtual festival, meaning organizers are being extremely bullish about some kind of February edition going forward.
Belgium Shuts Down Theaters, Concert Halls Due to Omicron Threat
What to Expect at Major International Film Festivals in 2022
Berlin Film Festival Chiefs Mariette Rissenbeek, Carlo Chatrian Talk Plans for 2022 Edition Amid Omicron Spread
The EFM is the world's second biggest film market following Cannes' Marché du Film. The event said mid-December that it was on track for a largely in-person edition, with exhibition space in its main venues, the Gropius Bau and Marriott Hotel, almost fully booked up. However, in recent weeks, Berlin has been grappling with rising COVID-19 cases in Germany.
The Robert Koch Institute for Infectious Diseases reported 56,335 new laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases on Thursday, as well as 264 deaths associated with the virus. Around 71.6% of the population have received both vaccines, but just 41.6% have received the booster. (The government has set an 80% target for double-dose vaccinations, and aims to administer 30 million booster shots by the end of January.)
At a major government briefing on Friday afternoon, it's believed that new restrictions on social distancing are being mooted, as well as allowing access to restaurants only with proof of a booster or negative COVID test. Shorter quarantine periods are also being considered.
All eyes have been on Berlin since Wednesday's cancellation of Sundance's in-person edition, which dealt a heavy blow to morale across the film industry. With just two weeks to go, organizers pulled the plug on the Park City confab, opting to go fully virtual for a second year running due to the COVID-19 situation in the U.S.
"Despite the most ambitious protocols, the Omicron variant with its unexpectedly high transmissibility rates is pushing the limits of health safety, travel and other infrastructures across the country," Sundance organizers said in a statement, noting that they were "disappointed to not provide the full hybrid experience and gather in-person as intended."
Berlin went virtual last February, but also held a smaller in-person event in June, which was largely attended by the German industry.
The festival's organizers have been closely monitoring the COVID situation since December, when Germany first began imposing restrictions to fight the wave of Omicron, which is causing 25% of all new COVID cases in the country, and is expected to become the dominant variant in a few days' time.
Although it's believed the festival was exploring a June contingency plan, Berlinale executive director Mariette Rissenbeek and artistic director Carlo Chatrian assured Variety in late-December that plans were underway for a physical event in February with movie theaters at full capacity and the same number of films as in pre-pandemic times. It's unclear now whether those same conditions will continue to apply to the fest.
While Omicron has thrown a curveball, Variety understands that the City of Berlin and the government supports the festival going ahead as an in-person undertaking, especially as the so-called "2G" rules are in place, meaning that only vaccinated or those who have recently recovered from COVID are allowed entry into restaurants, museums and certain events.
Organizers are currently planning an extremely strict protocol for the festival, according to an industry insider. One option being explored is requiring participants to show proof of double vaccination plus booster, or — if one isn't yet boosted — a double vaccination plus negative PCR result. On top of that, there are also discussions about drastically reducing audience capacity in venues, including in theaters.

* P41 O class Destroyer – side bar has light guns (4x4in): Only 1 Attack dice….. should be (1x4in)? There are quite a few instances of this – are they typos or am I missing something?
* If ships are "not completed" should they have a nominal planned for date same as conjectural ships? Eg HMS Lion (pg 37) vs Malta Class (pg 38)?
* Shouldn't the Short Sunderland have the ASW and Tough/Large Traits ..................and perhaps a better dogfight (at least better than the JU-88 see below)?
During its service, the Sunderland Mark I received various improvements. The nose turret was upgraded with a second .303 (7.7 mm) gun. New propellers together with pneumatic rubber wing de-icing boots were also fitted. Although the .303 guns lacked range and hitting power, the Sunderland had a considerable number of them and it was a well-built machine that was hard to destroy. On 3 April 1940, a Sunderland operating off Norway was attacked by six German Junkers Ju 88Cs; during the engagement, it shot one down, damaged another enough to cause it to retreat and later perform a forced landing and drove off the rest. The Germans are reputed to have nicknamed the Sunderland the Fliegendes Stachelschwein ("Flying Porcupine") due to its defensive firepower.
The type's capacity to defend itself was demonstrated in particular by an air battle over the Bay of Biscay on 2 June 1943, when eight Junkers Ju 88Cs attacked a single Sunderland Mk III of No. 461 Squadron RAAF: EJ134, squadron code: "N for Nuts" They claimed three Ju 88s destroyed.
Cheers for this - we will factor it all into the next playtest pack!

The Aces led wire-to-wire in an efficient 65-51 victory against Strath Haven on Saturday afternoon. LM led by as many as 18 in the third quarter and held a double-digit lead throughout the entire second half. With the win, the Aces improve to 14-4 (11-2 CL) on the season. The Panthers fall to 7-11 (5-8 CL).
Greg Robbins led all scorers with 22 points (5-5 FT). Carl Johnson (17 points, 6 assists), Harley Williamson (11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks), Steve Meehan (8 points, 4 rebounds), Eric Stahler (5 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Andrew King (2 points) rounded out the scoring. Lower Merion shot 51% (20-39) from the field.
The win was marked by aggressive play on both ends of the floor. The Aces attacked the rim in transition and capitalized at the free throw line, shooting 19-24 for the game. Defensive highlights included a successful charge taken by Stahler and several diving floor burns by Meehan and Johnson. On one play, four Aces hit the floor to collect a loose ball. The Aces held a speedy Strath Haven club to zero fastbreak points on the afternoon.
Saturday's contest marked the Aces' first look at Calvin Newell in a Strath Haven uniform. Newell, a transfer from Ridley, scored 19 points and was the only Panthers player in double figures.
The Aces return to action on Wednesday evening at 6 PM at Conestoga. Lower Merion is seeking revenge against the Pioneers, who handed the Maroon & White their first loss of the season back in December.


A fun reunion of college friends!!!
Typical Dileep Movie (and that's not a bad thing).
An entertaining Malayalam Heist Thriller.
Another comedy entertainer from Biju Menon.
A very well done True Story!!!
Great cast to play the leading roles!!!
Not what I expected from a Dileep Movie - in a Good Way!!!
Premam is the biggest Movie of the year (and maybe ever at this rate)!!!
Nivin Pauly at it again!!!
Biju Menon has found his niche!!!
A Ride with a Police Officer!!!
Fresh of the success of Premam, Nivin Pauly is back with a very different take on the traditional Movie. More than a movie, it's a documentary about what could possibly happen at an average police station. That being said, it was very enjoyable and had couple of beautiful songs.
Lukka Chuppi is the only Malayalam movie I know of that has the "Alcohol is injurious to your health" banner on the movie for pretty much the entire film. The entire movie happens in the span of like one night when a bunch of friends get together after a very long time. A fun watch.
At this point, if it's a Prithviraj movie, you can go to it with confidence that it will be a better than average movie guaranteed. Through the repeated hits he has proven that he is selective and values the audience' time. Pavada is very entertaining and Prithviraj does an excellent job (as expected).
Jayasurya, in my opinion, is the best all around actor we have in Malayalam Currently (Yes, I said it!!!!). He is one of the few that can pull of a wide variety of characters. Su..Su... Sudhi Vathmeekam is delivered beautifully, keeping my attention throughout. Definitely watch this one.
Two Countries is exactly what you would expect from a "Dileep" movie. Similar to "My Boss", Mamta Mohandas and Dileep are once again a pairing that will keep you laughing throughout the movie.
Kohinoor tackles a genre not usually seen in Malayalam Movies. It's a Comedy Heist Thriller with a solid (and large) cast.
Biju Menon is having a good run at movies with him in the lead. Salt Mango Tree will give you some good laughs.
