VCS Radio Symphony Orchestra and Jazz ensemble
VCS Radio Drama Players (Debut)
VCS Radio FX Engineers (Debut)
LIVE at the Empress Theater

Thursday, March 12th at 7:30 pm
tickets available at the box office or online.
This concert marks the debut of the new Drama and FX teams at the VCS Radio Conservatory.
Superman and fearless reporter Lois Lane fight for truth, justice, and the American way!!
In 1941 Paramount Pictures set out to put superman comics on the big screen for the first time. They spared no expense to hire the most talented artists in the business, such as legendary filmmakers Max and Dave Fleischer, and composer Sammy Timberg. The result was a great film series that set the standard of excellence in animated cinematic art!
The epic proportion of the masterwork brings us to this Thursday's performance. To reproduce such a feat in real-time with live actors and live music is a huge undertaking. Film music scoring is one of the VCS Radio Conservatory's specialties. With over a dozen feature films under their belts, the students have proven well prepared to tackle even the most demanding cinematic projects. Superman has proven exceptionally rough due to the sheer speed of the music. In 1941, the original musicians recorded in small sections rather than the live synchronization that will be attempted this Thursday by our kids!
Watch the original 1941 pilot episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UJphNPwDfk&t=186s
Our new drama team
What makes this epic event even more noteworthy is that the film will be voice-acted LIVE by the new VCS Radio Drama Players! You can't get a more auspicious debut! The talented troop will present the script in its original trans-Atlantic accent, a type of distinctive speech that only existed in the early and mid 20th century. This vocal sound was what made movies of that time sound like "movies of that time."
Stars of the LIVE film experience
VCS Radio Drama Players Josh Gorton as the Narrator and chief of the Daily Planet newspaper; Jayla Prothro as Lois Lane; Gabe Cabezas as Superman; and Emma Reheis as the Evil Mad Scientist.
Sound FX in its original state
Voice acting and music aren't the only sounds emanating from motion pictures. You have to have sound effects that bring the action to life. Our effects team includes members of the cast as well as the orchestra using impressive FX that range from a bicycle to the 250,000-volt tesla coil. You're in for an exciting live performance in a movie palace that screened the original series back in the 1940s!
Thomas Edison's masterpiece
The performance will also include a stunning restoration of the 1912 masterpiece by Thomas Edison, "Land Beyond the Sunset" scored by the VCS Radio Symphony based on the works of Moussorgsky.

Signeul pens Euro 2017 deal
Scotland Women's head coach Anna Signeul has signed a new contract lasting until after Euro 2017 this summer.
Under Signeul's leadership Scotland reached the tournament for the first time in their history, and join England, Spain, and Portugal in Group D.
The Swede took charge of Scotland in March 2005, and has since helped to revolutionise women's football in the country, taking her side to 21st in the world.
This month Scotland will take on Denmark twice during a training camp in Cyprus on Friday 20th and Monday 23rd January.
They will then take part in the Cyprus Cup between 27th February and 9th March against Austria, New Zealand, and Korea Republic.
Scotland have also arranged a friendly against Belgium away from home on Tuesday 11th April, kick-off 8pm (7pm UK time) in OH Leuven.
After signing her new deal, Anna Signeul said: "I'm delighted about the new contract and focussed on preparing as best as possible for the Euros.
"The next six months will be very intense and they will fly by as we have so much to do.
"I'm pleased we get to play two competitive games against Denmark, who are a tough side, but we feel well prepared.
"It will be a good start for us before we go on to play in the Cyprus Cup and against Belgium."

You've got questions about jellies and we've got answers! Her are some of the most frequently asked questions, answered by our biologists and other reputable sources.
Jellies belong to the phylum Cnidaria, which has three major classes: Hydrozoa, the primitive fern-like creatures, many of which produce small jellies; Scyphozoa, the large jellies or scyphomedusae and their polyps; and Anthozoa, the sea anemones. Although many of these animals produce a jelly as part of their life cycle, there are only about 200 species of large jellies that people are likely to notice - most of these are in the class Scyphozoa.
What type of jellies does the Aquarium have?
Jellies you might see at the Aquarium include moon jellies (Aurelia labiata), lion's mane jellies (Cyanea capillata), fried egg jellies (Phacellophora camtschatica), water jellies (Aequorea spp), Japanese sea nettles (Chrysaora pacifica), Pacific sea nettles (Chrysaora fuscescens), spotted jellies (Mastigias papua) and red eye medusas (Polyorchis penicillatus). Moon jellies are the species most likely to be on exhibit all the time.
Where can you find jellies?
Jellies live in all the world's oceans.
Jellies swim by jet propulsion. The jelly will expand then quickly contract its bell-shaped body, which forces water away from the bell and pushes the jelly in the opposite direction.
What does the Aquarium feed its jellies?
The jellies at the Aquarium are fed a daily meal of larval brine shrimp that have been enriched with fatty acids, as well as frozen copepods.
Can a jelly "repair" its damaged tentacles or other parts of its delicate body?
Yes, a jelly can regenerate small amounts of tissue that has been damaged.
Jellies don't have eyes as we think of them, although some species have eyespots. Eyespots are light-sensitive spots on the rim of their bells called ocelli. Jellies also have sensory organs called rhopalia, which form a row of small round structures along the rim of the bell. The rhopalia include sensory organs called statocysts that help maintain the jelly's balance. When a jelly tips too far to one side, the statocyst will stimulate nerve endings that cause muscles to contract, turning the jelly right side up.
Jellies have specialized stinging cells, called cniodocytes. Each of these cells contains a nematocyst which acts like a mini-harpoon. When a jelly touches something the nematocyst is released and injects toxin into the prey.

A Penn/Portnoy Marriage? Penn National Gaming Rumored to be Betting on Barstool Sports
Posted on: January 10, 2020, 06:33h.
Last updated on: January 12, 2020, 10:07h.
Barstool Sports, the edgy sports and pop culture blog, could have a suitor in the form of Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ:PENN), according to reports swirling late Friday.

New York-based Barstool, founded by the pizza-loving David Portnoy, is owned by The Chernin Group (TCG), a media investment firm. Los Angeles-based TCG acquired a majority stake Barstool in 2016, a deal that tagged the media property at a valuation of $10 million to $15 million. In 2018, the investment firm added to its Barstool position, then valuing the media outlet at $100 million.
Penn National is one of the largest regional gaming companies in the country, with 41 properties across 19 states, and is viewed by some on Wall Street as one of the biggest potential beneficiaries of the sports betting boom sweeping the US.
We've been exploring potential opportunities with a number of media companies, but I can't comment on rumors or speculation," said Penn Vice President Eric Schippers in a statement to Casino.org.
A request to TCG for comment by Casino.org wasn't responded to prior to press time. TCG looms large in the internet sports media space, with stakes in The Athletic and The Action Network in addition to Barstool. News broke in November 2019 that TCG was mulling a sale of Portnoy's enterprise, but talk to that effect has been quiet since then.
Maybe A Logical Fit
Following the 2018 Supreme Court ruling on the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), media companies have embraced the idea of partnering with sports wagering firms or gaming operators with significant sportsbook operations.
For example, Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) has a deal with Turner Sports's Bleacher Report that sees the latter broadcast live betting-related content from Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip, among other particulars. In one of the larger media/gaming tie-ups, Fox Sports last year paid $236 million to buy five percent of The Stars Group (NASDAQ:TSG) with an option to take full control of the Canadian sports data company down the road.
While the desire to expand its online betting footprint via the acquisition of a property with loyal followers, such as Barstool, Penn National will likely have to evaluate other realities, such as Barstool's brash reputation.
Last year, Portnoy clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) regarding organized labor and took to Twitter, threatening to fire Barstool staffers seeking union representation. Later in the year, Portnoy bashed ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS), alleging the sports giant had a hand in ensuring a college football game in Mobile, Ala. denied Barstool's sponsorship effort.
Still Tempting
Despite the controversial views Barstool frequently takes and its allegedly "traditionally masculine" culture, the company offers Penn some synergies, including the Barstool Bets brand. That business includes sports gambling podcasts and free contests with real cash prizes involving college and professional games.
Penn operates properties in eight states where sports betting is up and running or soon will be. But off those states, only Indiana, Iowa, Nevada, and Pennsylvania currently have thriving online and mobile sports wagering markets.

Here's the salary needed to afford a home in Austin
Pedalin' Properties
Lance Armstrong's Old West Austin estate cycles back onto the market
Third downtown?
New Domain-style development on East Riverside could be Austin's next downtown
Domain-style project on East Riverside could be Austin's next downtown
The development would be built over 25 years. Project Catalyst/Vimeo
A Domain-style development encompassing well over 5 million square feet is germinating in Southeast Austin, with plans for thousands of apartments, hundreds of hotel rooms, dozens of shops and restaurants, and scores of offices.
The developer, Los Angeles-based investment firm Nimes Capital, is seeking to rezone a 97-acre site at East Riverside Drive and South Pleasant Valley Road to make room for the proposed mixed-use development. The goal of the project, the developer says, is to build an "urban village."
"East Riverside represents a natural expansion of downtown. It's the next logical area for downtown to expand to," Nitin Chexal, the Austin-based director of real estate at Nimes Capital, tells CultureMap.
Given the current congestion in downtown Austin, an independent hub for workplaces, housing, and retail establishments "is becoming a necessity," adds Michael Whellan, a real estate attorney at Austin law firm Armbrust & Brown, which represents Nimes Capital.
Nimes Capital doesn't envision construction starting before 2020, with the rezoning process likely wrapping up this year or next year. Whellan says the project, which eventually must be approved by the Austin City Council, will be built in five phases over a 25-year period.
Preliminary renderings of the project show buildings that likely would be the tallest in that portion of Southeast Austin. The site is already approved for buildings up to 60 feet tall (roughly six stories), but Nimes Capital hopes to secure permission to go as high as 160 feet (roughly 16 stories), according to Whellan.
The "urban village" in Southeast Austin wouldn't be as large as the Domain and Domain Northside duo in North Austin — an area quickly emerging as Austin's "second downtown." Still, the East Riverside project essentially could serve as the foundation for Austin's "third downtown."
A March 9 letter from Whellan to the City of Austin Planning and Zoning Department outlines the ultimate scope of the mixed-use project:
600 hotel rooms
About 4 million square feet for offices
About 435,000 square feet for shops and restaurants
The total square footage and price tag for the development aren't yet available.
Standing on the site now is The Ballpark East apartment complex, which comprises 1,308 units for college students and other residents. Those apartments would be torn down to make way for the mixed-use development, including market-rate apartments.
Nimes Capital bought the apartment complex and adjacent land over the course of a few years.
If the development — which has been nicknamed "Project Catalyst" — proceeds as planned, it would complement Oracle's new 40-acre corporate campus in the same neighborhood, as well as a growing number of nearby apartment complexes and retail establishments. Thousands of employees of the Silicon Valley software company will work at the 560,000-square-foot, five-story campus, whose grand opening is set for March 22.

While I like this application, I noticed that it will pull out the media in unprocessed form (not cropped, not adjusted). There probably isn't another way of doing this (short of scripting the applications to obtain the current version of an image), but it is a limitation you should be aware of.
Not totally true, Maarten. In Aperture, for example, iMedia Browser pulls out my processed preview that includes all of my image edits, just as I would expect it to. I just tested it again.

Basque Kitchen by Aitor (Singapore) moves into the Fullerton Waterboat House
bibikgourmand May 3, 2021 September 1, 2021
The Fullerton Waterboat House
The main dining hall of Basque Kitchen
Everytime I recall my trips to the Basque Country, my heart aches a little, not just because we can't travel now but also because the Basque region offers such rarified experiences that one would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
Its myriad pintxos bars, its Bay of Biscay seafood restaurants and, of course, the stars-blinding fine-dining experiences, and that's not to mention the "sagardotegia" cider and txuleta-pairing.
Fret not, for a fraction of the price of an air ticket, you could now dip your toes – for a couple of hours – into what I believe could be the only contemporary Basque dining experience in Singapore (and possibly Asia).
Chef-Patron Aitor Jeronimo Orive
Formerly based in an Amoy Street shop house, the one Michelin-starred Basque Kitchen by Aitor ("Basque Kitchen") from Chef-Patron Aitor Jeronimo Orive ("Aitor") has just moved into a stately water-fronting home at the historic Fullerton Waterboat House (circa 1919)
With 38 seats – including an 8-seat private dining room – the newly reopened restaurant is bigger than its former digs and decidedly swankier. Apart from a glass-wrapped main dining room dotted with plush velvet banquettes, all in calming shades of charcoal grey and warm orange with occasional oak tones, Basque Kitchen now boasts a 33-seat pintxos bar and lounge where guests may indulge in Basque Country-style small bites, think artisanal Sanfilippo anchovies and tomato on toast, washed down with a glass of cuvee Champagne specially curated for the restaurant.
Truth be told that if you want to go it hearty, you should sign up for the pintxos bar experience. But the essence of Basque Kitchen – and its glorious water-fronting setting by the Fullerton Bay – is really about Aitor's new Basque cuisine, which draws richly from the "merroir" of the Bay of Biscay and also from his Basque heritage – the chef's paternal family hails from the Basque region of Andalucia and his maternal side from the Southern Basque region of Biscay. And this can only be had at the main dining hall.
Given his relatively international training at The Fat Duck (London), Mugaritz (San Sebastián) and then Nerua (Bilbao), and subsequently Iggy's (Singapore), before planting his first Basque-centric eatery at Amoy Street in October 2018, Aitor's cuisine is, at the heart of it, contemporary European anchored on his Basque root. While you'll find a handful of Basque ingredients – like anchovies and besugo (blackspot seabream) from the Bay of Biscay – on the Gastronomic Menu ($248++) at dinner, you're just as likely to find Japanese Amela tomatoes, French morel mushrooms as well as Australian aged beef.
Txuleta
It would be a dream-come-true for gastronomes to taste authentic Basque Country txuleta in the Lion City but due to import regulation, this thought is at best a distant dream. Essentially a Flintstone-style beef from old Basque cows reared on a grass diet and slaughtered between the age of eight to 18 years old, this annuated steak is known for its "savoury flavour of great depth and complexity" or simply put "profoundly beefy beef." Given import restrictions, Aitor serves what he considers to be next best, Robbins Island beef from Tasmania aged at source for 30 days and further aged in the restaurant's ageing cabinet for another 15 to 30 days. The loin is grilled in the Josper oven so that its facade is charred and inside still red and served with smoked Aomori garlic mousseline and a beef jus so intense and viscous that it resembles a thick glaze. Perfect for a tasting menu even if it's hardly the Flintstone-size txuleta that we want (and which we will never get in Singapore).
While Aitor's take on txuleta is suitably simple but good, his besugo (blackspot sea bream) is even better. The fish from the Bay of Biscay is charcoal grilled until its skin crisps up, then served with springy slices of French razor clams in a delicate Basque-style "Donostiarra" sauce of olive oil, garlic, vinegar and parsley vinaigrette emulsified with the fish's gelatin until it becomes a pale and creamy sauce (a pil-pil sauce if you will).
If you've never had sea anemone, Basque Kitchen's opening dinner menu is your ticket. First thickly battered then deep-fried so that it is crunchy outside and mildly gooey inside, this "marine croquette" offers a taste of a curious-looking sea creature that some liken to an oyster in flavour. Far from being briny, I thought this delicacy of the Cádiz region to be closer in its creamy taste and texture to that of shirako (or even a sweetbread). For flavour contrast, the anemone is served on a bed of bomba rice seasoned with plankton aioli and decorated with ice plants and sea succulents.
Naturally, the advent of spring brings with it a chance of morel mushrooms. Here, Aitor takes a detour to France and makes a moreish pate of chicken liver, stuffs it into the cap of the fungi, blankets the morel with a sliver of cured lardo and serves it on a bed of deeply savoury mushroom gel. Save for the lardo, the dish is as deliciously French as it gets but, as you know, the Basque Country is split between Spain (4 provinces of Guipúzcoa, Vizcaya, Navarra and Alava) and France (3 provinces of Labourd, Basse Navarre, and Soule).
The Basque Country's most famous dessert export is the Basque burnt cheesecake but you will not find it here. Instead, Aitor sends out contemporary European and locally-inspired creations. What's more noteworthy is the restaurant's beverage programme curated by Basque sommelier Vincent Jaureguiberry, who also doubles up as general manager. Apart from looking after the restaurant's wine collection, Jaureguiberry also brings in interesting Basque beverages like the non-alcoholic Basque apple juice and funky Basque cider, the latter a must-try.
If you're looking for Txakoli to wash down that delicious pil pil sauce, you'll just have to wait a bit longer.

On 10 November Riga Graduate School of Law (RGSL) welcomed its potential students to take part in an Open Day event. During the event they had a chance to meet the incoming Rector Professor Mel Kenny, RGSL visiting lecturer Christy Kollmar, current students and other members of RGSL. They were also able to experience an interactive tour around RGSL. During the first part of the event, all participants were put into teams and in a limited time had to find different points at RGSL, such as the Library or the Gallery. At each point they had to fulfil a task or take a photo. That was the way for potential students to open the doors to RGSL. Afterwards RGSL visiting lecturer Christy Kollmar talked about the admission procedure, dates and other important information about applications. She also spoke about her experience as a student, lawyer and lecturer. Later the same day, RGSL also invited potential Master students to take part in an Open Day event. Law and Finance Master Programme director Waleed Gumaa talked about the admission procedure. Potential students were invited to discuss the book edited by Iulia Motoc and Ineta Ziemele "The Impact of the ECHR on Democratic Change in Central and Eastern Europe" with RGSL Professor Ineta Ziemele.


Children understand nearly everything about their language by 5 years old. Yet some things, like the passive voice, are a mystery to them for many more years. Linguists at UConn are asking children themselves — with the help of a puppet named Gobu — just how they learn to speak their native language.
In this video, Snyder and graduate student Emma Nguyen describe an experiment in which children around 7 years old are asked to make judgments about the accuracy of sentences, including ones in the passive voice. Their responses help linguists understand exactly what stages children are going through at specific points in their lives.
Linguists can then work with neuroscientists to understand what changes are happening in the brain that create the ability to understand these complex sentences.
"It's a really good baseline, so when you have children with language delay or language impairment, we have something to compare it to," says Nguyen.

Epilogue and sources
Mahlom Loomis Marconi and the Bristol Channel Marconi and the transatlantic wireless Epilogue et sources
Marconi had established a consortium of powerful British investors. Several of these were members of Parliament. Because of this, the other researchers were effectively silenced by governmental actions. The Marconi Company soon dominated the wireless (radio) scene.
From about 1900 until 1943, there were a large number of patent rights battles in the courts of the United States and Great Britain.
Thus, Tesla was granted U.S. Patent 685,012 for the means of increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations. But in 1904, the US Patent Office reversed its decision and awarded Marconi the patent for radio. Tesla began his fight to re-acquire the radio patent. He died January 1943, at the age of 86. A few months after, the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number, in effect recognizing him as the inventor of radio.
Little by little, Marconi's patent empire was voided. In fact, Marconi's list of patent fights included almost all of the inventors and pioneers of radio communications. People like deForest, Fleming, and others were in an almost constant fight with Marconi and his company. Because of these lengthy patent battles, the British Government did not wish to aid those fighting against the British-based Marconi Company. Therefore, they insisted that Marconi was the inventor of radio.
In Loomis' case, the patent was issued before Marconi was even born.
It is unfortunate that this misconception is still being taught today. However, as it is with any event in history, invention of a process is seldom the responsibility of only one singular person.
English Electric acquired The Marconi Company in 1946 which complemented its other operations; heavy electrical engineering, aircraft and its railway traction business. In October 2005 the Marconi name and most of the assets were proposed to be bought by the Swedish firm Ericsson. The transaction was completed on January 23, 2006.

Leahy's border-zone legislation would 'hamstring' U.S. immigration enforcement, critics say
Lou Varricchio / July 11, 2018
WASHINGTON — Border-zone legislation recently introduced by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., is drawing sharp criticism from illegal immigration opponents who say the bill would "hamstring" the nation's immigration enforcement.
The proposal, titled the Border Zone Reasonableness Restoration Act of 2018, would limit the border zone within which U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers may stop vehicles and search private property for the purpose of protecting national security.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
"This is about ensuring that every person in this country receives the constitutional protections to which they are entitled," Leahy said in June 28 statement. "Vermonters have rightly been concerned about these expanded 'border zone' searches. They believe, as I do, that once inside our country the phrase 'show me your papers' does not belong inside the United States of America,"
Leahy and Murray say they oppose instances in which Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents inside Vermont and Washington state recently boarded Greyhound buses without a warrant and inquired about the passengers' citizenship status. Other enforcement efforts they consider unreasonable include questioning of international college students and setting up immigration checkpoints in Maine and New Hampshire.
Under current law, DHS officers have legal authority to stop vehicles within 100 miles of the border and search private land within 25 miles. The Leahy-Murray bill proposes revising those distances down to 25 miles and 10 miles, respectively. The act also would prohibit dragnet-style immigration stops at checkpoints further than 10 miles from the border, unless agents have reasonable suspicion that people found in that zone are in the U.S. illegally.
Opponents of the legislation say the plan is a concerted attempt to stop the Trump administration's promise to secure the border from illegal entry, by both undocumented individuals and possible terrorists.
"It is not at all surprising that Senators Leahy and Murray are at the vanguard of this effort to hamstring immigration enforcement," Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform, told True North Reports.
Ira Mehlman of FAIR: "Despite the fact that the majority of Democrats voted to authorize a border security barrier in 2006 … the Democrats are now unified in their opposition to a fence that would make illegal border crossing more difficult, and Leahy and Murray are now aiming to make sure that illegal aliens are home-free as soon as possible after crossing the border."
"In the past few years, the Democratic Party has abandoned all pretense of supporting almost any sort of immigration enforcement. Despite the fact that the majority of Democrats voted to authorize a border security barrier in 2006 … the Democrats are now unified in their opposition to a fence that would make illegal border crossing more difficult, and Leahy and Murray are now aiming to make sure that illegal aliens are home-free as soon as possible after crossing the border."
The Immigration and Nationality Act 287(a)(3) permits authorities to act without a warrant "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States" and "board and search for aliens in any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railcar, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle."
Mehlman cited two U.S. Supreme Court decisions affirming the constitutionality of the law, U.S. v. Martinez Fuerte and U.S. v. Gordo-Marin.
"Despite Senator Leahy's unsubstantiated accusation that in Montana, a CBP agent even stopped an American citizen simply for speaking Spanish, there is no evidence that CPB is engaging in unlawful profiling," Mehlman said.
H. Brooke Paige, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Washington, Vt., criticized the Leahy-Murray legislation.
"One example that would be problematic under Senator Leahy's 25-mile proposal would be the Port of Baltimore, Md., which serves as a point of entry for marine traffic and cargo. The city is 120 miles from the Atlantic seacoast measured 'as the crow flies' due east and actually over 200 miles from Baltimore to the Chesapeake Bay breakwater, just south of Cape Charles, Virginia," Paige told True North.
He added that reducing the zone from 100 miles down to 25 "could surely create jurisdictional problems, especially in states like California and Vermont where the governors have expressed a lack of willingness to cooperate with officials from ICE, INS and Justice."
Don Chioffi: "I am embarrassed by the senator from my state."
Don Chioffi, a former Vermont state legislator, retired educator and Vietnam veteran, said he was upset after hearing about the Leahy-Murray proposal.
"This is right out of the Democrats' open borders playbook — this is resist Trump, resist borders, resist security, resist any kind of protection of this country," he said.
"I am embarrassed by the senator from my state. Between Leahy and Senator Bernie Sanders it's an absolute embarrassment. … Leahy's plan is to make our borders weaker. For all his experience, all his knowledge, being in the U.S. Senate, he ends up showing his disregard for the integrity of our security. I am ashamed of him." Chioffi added.
Chioffi, who was named "Citizen Activist of the Year" by ACT! for America last year, was co-leader of Rutland First, the coalition of local citizens which opposed former Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras' backroom plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees in the area in early 2016.
He said the senators hadn't learned "the ongoing lessons of Europe's Schengen Agreement and Convention which created the continent's failed open-border policy."
"Look at Europe — it's going to hell in a handbasket," Chioffi said. "I predict Germany's Angela Merkel will be gone in six months to a year. The open-borders experiment didn't work; you can't open your borders and continue to be a sovereign nation.
"While it's late catching up here in Vermont and elsewhere in the U.S., it's all over for the open borders crowd. Yes, let's do immigration reform, the way it used to be, based on merit. Let's welcome immigrants that want to contribute to America, not take from our country."

Ed G. Mann says:
Have you listened to Leahy recently? He's either in the throes of end game Altzheimer's or plain terminal stupidity. He'll be taking the Jeffords' route out of office.
Leahy and Patty Murray? What a pair and what a stupid idea!!!!!!!
Almost all illegal immigrants are caught within 100 miles of the SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN US border.
The US would not be a nation if it did not defend and control these US border lands from illegal activities that are promoted/incentivized (Catch and Release anyone?) by the Dems/Progs.
The main aim of the Dems/Progs is vote getting, cementing the Hispanic vote in as many states as possible, have them as reliable voting blocs, have them become a large percentage of the US population.
The US should be attracting the best and the brightest from all over the world, not semi-literates, with little skills and unsuitable experience.
Matthew Davis says:
You can be damn sure that if I get stopped at a border patrol checkpoint many miles form "the border" there is not a snowball's chance in hell that I will answer any question that officer asks. Anyone who does so is a coward and clearly does not believe in a free society. These supposed "checkpoints" are nothing more than an attempt by an authoritarian govt. to get citizens to give up their rights and allow searches and seizures. The New Hampshire Supreme Court found these checkpoints to be unconstitutional and the fact that these two senators are willing to stand up to this form of govt. over-reach should be applauded.
This legislation is not about border security. Is is about preventing govt. intrusion into the lives of private citizens. The fact that TNP would take this up as anything other than excessive govt. intervention and expense to the taxpayer exposes their hypocrisy.
Robert Maynard says:
"This legislation is not about border security. Is is about preventing govt. intrusion into the lives of private citizens."
On that much I think we can agree
Nearly forty years ago I came home to VT from a Canadian university that I was attending with a northern beauty. We were in love and lived together in Manchester. She got a job as a chambermaid at a local inn. Unfortunately, she was reported to US Immigration authorities and had one week to leave. She did, we were torn apart, but followed the law. I got her back in on a fiance visa which gave us 90 days to marry or she must leave the US. We chose the latter deciding we were not old enough nor financially stable enough to continue with our dreams. It turned out to be the best for us both. The point is, we respected the laws of this country and obeyed them. Why is it so hard today?
The answer to your question is that the primary tenet of liberalism is the absence of personal responsibility. Liberals and democrats seek to leverage this in an effort to allow as many people as possible into our country in hopes these newcomers will vote them into permanent power.
Well "babbling" Pat Leahy, Vermont's Senior Senator again opens his mouth and inserts his
foot. He's getting worse than Bernie and that's no compliment.
Pat, unless you forgot, the word "illegal" means Illegal. So if you are caught in the US be it
by one foot or a hundred miles from the border, you broke the law and you are a criminal.
And this X District Attorney, I guess DC has affected his mental ability to conclude what's a
crime being he won't support the Border Agencies. Now this foolish proposal, the world in a
toilet and this is his major contribution. Pretty sad.
Time to retire Pat.
Raoul P says:
Isn't it something that a former district attorney is backing illegal immigration in all forms. I guess he doesn't understand what illegal means anymore. It is really time for him to retire to a porch rocker and he can take the useless Sanders with him..

Q: Existence of holomorphic n-th root and non-vanishing Suppose $f \in H(\Omega)$, $\Omega =$ arbitrary region. Suppose $f$ has a holomorphic $n-$th root in $\Omega$ for every positive integer $n$. Then I need to show that $f(z)\neq 0$ for all $z \in \Omega$.

A: Let $z_0\in G$ and let $ord_{z_0}(f)\in \mathbb N$ be the order of vanishing of $f$ at $z_0$. If $f=g^n$ we have $ord_{z_0}(f)=n\cdot ord_{z_0}(g)$. Hence  $ord_{z_0}(f)$ is  being divisible by all integers  must be zero; in other words  $f$ does not vanish at $z_o$.
But this is small beer.
The much stronger conclusion of your hypothesis is that actually $f$ is an exponential: there exists $h\in H(\Omega)$ with $f=e^h$.
This is an old chestnut that you can find for example in Remmert's Theory of Complex Functions, Chapter 9.

According to Reuters, Scott Moe has been chosen as the new leader of the governing party of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Moe reportedly opposes the federal government's plans to introduce carbon taxes across Canada. Moe will replace Brad Wall (who is retiring) and it is expected that he will be sworn in as premier in the coming days.
Saskatchewan is home to some of the largest potash and uranium reserves in the world, which are mined by companies such as Nutrien Ltd and Cameco Corp. According to Reuters, the provincial government earns royalties from production of its mined resources, as well as crude oil.
Reuters reports that Moe will become premier as Saskatchewan struggles to end budget deficits that have been caused by a major decrease in the price of commodities.
Former Premier Brad Wall has been critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government and its plans for a carbon pricing system. Former provincial environment minister Moe has promised that he will continue to fight against the government's plan, claiming that it would not do anything to decrease carbon emissions whilst costing the Saskatchewan economy over CAN$2 billion.


__ Most of my jobs involve working on flat planes or slight grades.
__ I tend to do the same types of jobs on a daily basis.
__ I usually work in the same types of materials from one day to the next.
__ I'm not a technology expert and don't have one in my company.
__ The price of a grade control system is my primary concern.
__ It's not unusual to lose the GPS signal in areas where I work.
If you answered "true" to most of the questions, you might not need a 3D system—at least not yet. A 2D system could be a better option.
2D systems make a great first investment. They're simpler and less expensive than 3D systems but deliver the same kinds of benefits.
2D systems perform well in a variety of applications from road construction and maintenance to pad building, site prep, ditch cutting and more. They're especially effective for repetitive work that entails flatter planes and simple slopes. They're also useful when working in areas where GPS signals get blocked or lost. In many cases, the components are portable, so they can be used on multiple machines. And 2D systems are scalable, so you can choose a simple system now and build on that investment with an easy upgrade to 3D technology.
Obviously, there's more to choosing a grade control system than answering a few true-false questions. But let the quiz be a starting point. Meet with a professional to review your specific situation, then choose the technology that matches your requirements and meets your goals. Whether that ends up being a 2D or 3D system, you'll be better equipped to save time, cut costs and improve profitability.

You are somewhat of a hypochondriac! While you're hardly a full scale hypochondriac, you do have tendencies. You can often get spooked by small ailments, turning them into a bigger deal than they actually are. You spend more time at the doctor's office than the average person and spend a ton of time Googling various diseases.
You have hypochondriac tendencies. You're hardly a full scale hypochondriac. Despite this, you do tend to talk yourself into believing the worst when it comes to being sick. Have the flu?

Hindi film stars who own luxury private jets; read here
GULFSTREAM G550 – WHERE TO FIND, PRICE & OPERATING COST
Mumbai: Hindi film stars are known to have luxurious lifestyles.
From plush bungalows to luxury cars, having extravagant things is very common among the movie stars. Many also own private jets.
So let's learn about the Indian actors who own private jets.
Priyanka Chopra, who is not only popular in the Hindi film industry but also in Hollywood, has a private jet. In the picture, she can be seen posing with her friends. Priyanka often travels between the US and India. Considering the short time intervals these actors have between shoots, having a private jet often helps in commuting from one continent to another.
Akshay Kumar, who used to do four to five films a year, is so punctual that he takes time out to spend time with his family. Akshay goes to vacations on his private jet with his family and also uses his jet during the promotions of his films.
Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgn is one of the Hindi film actors who is fond of luxury cars. His collection of vehicles includes Maserati Quattroporte, BMW Z4 and Audi A5 Sportback among others. Ajay has his own private jet too. According to a report, his jet is a six-seater Hawker 800.
Megastar of Hindi film industry Amitabh Bachchan also owns a jet. He himself has shared many pictures of his plane on his social media account. The Bachchan family uses their own private jet when they go on holidays abroad.
Shah Rukh
In 2016, Shah Rukh Khan joked in an interview that I want to buy a plane but I don't have any money'. King Khan also has a private jet of his own which describes his king sized life.
Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra too use their private jet for personal travels. Given how Shilpa and Raj own properties in Dubai's Burj Khalifa, England's Surrey and London to name a few, it only makes sense to have a jet of their own.

JONATHAN AZAZIAH: THE TAKFIRI GOY GOLEM: ISIS, JABHAT AL-NUSRA, THEIR "ISRAELI" MASTERS AND THE REPACKAGED ZIONIST WAR ON ISLAM
Ed Noor: Once again, Jonathan Azaziah gifts us with a university level course on the Middle East. The conclusions Jonathan draws will either shock you or confirm suspicions you already harboured about the horrific bogeyman ISIS. The connections drawn between the Babylonian Talmud and the origins of Wahhabi doctrine are made clear ~ the term Takfiri Goy Golem is extremely apt.
By Jonathan Azaziah
MaddColdSonofKufa
Apart from the nauseating, reprehensible and oft-repeated "'Israel' has a right to exist" meme, it is indubitably certain that there is no propaganda buzz-phrase heard quite as frequently from the duplicitous yaps of vile, yellowbelly liberals as "blowback terrorism". The "blowback terrorism" theory suggests that terrorists ~ in this particular instance, those of the Takfiri variety currently represented by the demented likes of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, along with Al-Qaeda before them ~ are birthed via the womb of asinine Western foreign policy. However, as Mouqawamah Music Managing Editor Assad al-Liftawi so aptly noted (1),
the Takfiris aren't mere "blowback" from Western ~ and "Israeli" ~ foreign policy, they *are* Western-"Israeli"-GCC-Turkish foreign policy.
Essentially, what the liberals, in all of their glorious, stomach-churning cowardice, would have their constituencies believe is that Takfiri terror groups like ISIS appear out of nowhere in the wake of haphazardly planned and foolishly executed American and European intervention in the Arab and Islamic worlds. It is a theory that they cling to for dear life not only because the truth is far darker, far more sinister and far more disturbing than they would care to admit, but also due to their own criminal complicity in the destructive conspiracy tearing apart Syria and Iraq. But despite their most studious efforts to ensure that "mum's the word" on where ISIS and its ideological counterparts *actually* come from, the liberals, who are Zionist-Imperialist Hegemony's most useful and deceptive gatekeepers, have failed in their task.
OFF COMES THE MASK OF ZION: MAINSTREAM MEDIA RELUCTANTLY EXPOSES THE TAKFIRIS' ROOTS
Due to the blatant nature of its illegal and malevolent meddling in the affairs of resistant, sovereign nation-states in the Maghreb and Mashreq, the US-"Israeli" Empire couldn't keep the proverbial gloves on its dirty hands for long, and even the Jewish-Zionist-dominated mainstream media picked up stories on the true nature behind ISIS in particular and the roots of Takfiri terrorism more broadly speaking, despite its obvious intentions to provide as much as spin and false context as possible.
The Sulzberger-family-owned New York Times admitted that the CIA is running guns to rebel forces from Turkey (2), and more importantly, released a mega-bombshell when it noted that there isn't a secular fighting force in Syria to speak of (3).
Also in the pages of the NYT, US President Obama ~ referred to adoringly by the Zionist Power Configuration's Chicago division as America's first Jewish president (4) ~ made it clear that arming "moderate" rebels was nothing but a fantasy (5).
Obama's deputy, Joe "I Am A Zionist (6)" Biden, blew the whistle on the Empire's staunch allies in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates for their pernicious roles in incubating and facilitating the spread of Takfiri fanatics across Bilad al-Sham (7).
Another bombshell was dropped by neocon-mouthpiece The Washington Post, which revealed in a devastating story that a gargantuan contingent of fighters operating under the fictitious "Free 'Syrian' Army (FSA)" banner who were trained by imperialist states went off and joined ISIS or Jabhat al-Nusra once their Western-sponsored training sessions were completed (8).
General John Allen, the American regime's envoy to the recently created "anti-ISIS" international coalition, buried the FSA/"secular" rebel myth further in his confirmation of frequent Nusra-FSA battlefield coordination (9).
Reports continue popping up in the mainstream press of US humanitarian aid and other forms of supplies and equipment reaching ISIS, most recently in The Daily Beast (10), a most deplorable Zionist rag. Bottom line is, if "moderate" rebels don't exist and the FSA was nothing but a media concoction, whom were the United States and its regional and international allies arming? Takfiris, plain and simple; murderous, fanatical Takfiris ~ many of whom were and are literally mentally unstable (11).
And yet, even the tip of the iceberg remains unscathed. The illegitimate, usurping Zionist entity's hands, which have been present from the very beginning of the war on Syria in the shadows, going all the way back to 2004 when Mossad and the Zionist-run, Zionist-founded National Endowment For Democracy (NED) began cultivating Syrian opposition groups (12), have now become publically exposed as well, on more fronts than were previously known. The "Israelis" have been intimately involved in training the rebels in Jordan (13).
Moreover, as confirmed by former FSA "general" and Jewish "state" quisling Salim Idris, "many, many" Mossad agents are "very active" in Syria (14), accumulating all sorts of intelligence for their plots, including spreading fear mongering amongst the Syrian Druze community in Sweida about the collapse of the Damascus government, solely to generate their support for the potential partition of a southern chunk of Syria (15).
Outspoken Likudnik and the usurping Jewish regime's former ambassador to the US Michael Oren openly declared last year that "Israel" prefers Al-Qaeda to be in power over the Hizbullah-Iran-aligned Syria of Dr. Bashar al-Assad (16), a stance which "Israeli" Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz reiterated this week in the NYT by declaring that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a greater threat than ISIS (17).
The plot thickens still. Veteran Syrian "dissident" ~ i.e. US-Zionist tool ~ and founding member of the "Syrian" National Coalition/Council (SNC) Kamal al-Labwani, in an act of treason which cannot be more depraved, offered to give the illegally occupied Golan Heights to the Jewish supremacist regime in exchange for its implementation of a no-fly zone over Syria (18).
Sharif as-Safouri, the commander of the Free Syrian Army's Al-Haramein Battalion, in a Youtube video uploaded this past summer, revealed that he has met with Zionist entity's intelligence services, obtained weaponry from them and broke down the process of transferring wounded terrorists to IOF field hospitals (19).
Indeed, even the UN has noted that at the very least, dozens of Takfiri terrorists have been treated in the hospitals of the Zionist occupation army (20), with the true numbers likely expected to be in the hundreds, as every week "Israeli" news channels document operations conducted in coordination between "Syrian" oppositionists and IOF (21).
War criminal and prime minister of the usurping Jewish entity Benjamin Netanyahu visited one of these advanced field hospitals to consort with its Takfiri patients and governing IOF generals (22), in a true showing of just how much these rebels mean to "Israel", for the only time the leader of a nation ~ or in this case, a demonic supremacist entity ~ visits a battlefield is to boost the morale of the men fighting for his cause, which, in this case, is Zionism. These hospitals are a hotbed of disgusting Zionist apologia and Takfirism, particularly the Ziv Medical Center in occupied Safad, where rebels openly bash Hizbullah, Iran and Russia and beg Netanyahu to bomb Syria (23).
Beyond the medical treatment, political support and intelligence though, "Israel" is providing arms to the Takfiri rebels in Syria and on top of an undeclared truce that it has with Jabhat al-Nusra (24), its warplanes are serving as Jabhat al-Nusra's air force in the face of the Syrian Arab Army (25).
Amos Yadlin, the former director of Aman and infamously shady intelligence operator who gleefully admitted to the Zionist entity assassinating legendary Hizbullah commander Hajj Imad Mughniyeh and benefitting from Rafik Hariri's killing (26), brazenly declared in his typically arrogant tone that, "ISIS is not a significant threat to 'Israel' in the near future, and in an odd sense, it even provides some strategic opportunities for 'Israel (27)."
Hence why the criminal Talmudic maniacs occupying Palestine are providing foodstuffs to the Iraqi division of ISIS (28), as well as giving it advanced weapons (29), and their Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency is gladly allowing Palestinians from the 1948 lands to join its ranks, as this not only allows "Israel" to have a direct role in the recruitment process of ISIS, but it also will prevent those who depart from returning to Palestine, a policy suggested by Jewish occupation regime Tourism Minister Uzi Landau (30).
Thus, two strategic goals of the Zionist dragon are fulfilled: its proxy, ISIS, is routinely injected with new Palestinian recruits ~ which bestows upon the Takfiri terrorist outfit an aura of credibility in the eyes of woefully ignorant Muslims worldwide as it is comprised of persons from the oppressed Palestinian people ~ and it removes more and more "demographic threats" from the land it continues to colonize and decay with its satanic existence, from the River to the Sea.
With that said, it seriously could not be clearer that ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and other Takfiri gangs, trained by NATO (31) and armed by the Jewish supremacist entity, are not the ragtag "moujahideen" that they try to sell themselves as to the unsuspecting Muslim youth across the globe; they are tools of Zio-Imperialism. And with at least five Britons a week leaving to join ISIS (32) and a French family of eleven departing only two weeks ago to join the Takfiris in Syria (33), it's also clear that Western regimes aren't engaging in any efforts whatsoever to curtail pro-ISIS adventurism, despite their boisterous claims to the contrary. Why? Because, to end where we began, and as the facts show,
Takfiri terrorism isn't "blowback" but the very instrument which "Israel", the West and their marionettes in the region are using to impose their hegemony on states that refuse to bow to Zionist diktat.
ZIONIST-TAKFIRI SYMBIOSIS: P2OG, THE 2010 BAGHDAD CATHEDRAL MASSACRE, SITE, FAKE BEHEADINGS AND MOSSAD
While every piece of aforementioned evidence provides a damning portrayal of the Takfiris' collaborationist identity, one must dig a bit further back in recent history to understand who they are in totality. Any analysis of Takfiri terrorism throughout the Maghreb and Mashreq, most prominently in Iraq, which fails to mention the Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group, better known by its acronym P2OG, is the very embodiment of incompleteness. Largely unknown by most, but tremendously powerful and absolutely essential to the mayhem and horror which have befallen the Arab and Islamic worlds,
P2OG, is, in a word, the grandsire of ISIS.
Founded in 2002 by the Defense Science Board, which was run out of the office of Donald Rumsfeld ~ the shabbos goy front man for the Jewish neocon cabal that controlled the Bush administration, as well as the Jewish-Zionist billionaires Stephen Feinberg and Michael Steinhardt's mega-corporation Cerberus Global Investments, which was responsible for setting up military bases and camps across then-occupied Iraq (34) ~ and Iraq War architect and "Full Spectrum Dominance" designer Paul Wolfowitz, P2OG overtly advocated using assassinations, sabotage and deception to stoke the Iraqi people into full-blown civil war. The shadowy, murderous intelligence agency, which worked, and continues to work side-by-side with the evil "Israeli" regime's Mossad, was the brainchild of Zionist and PNAC (Project For A New American Century) member William J. Schneider Jr., who launched an all-out media blitz to justify the legitimacy and legality of P2OG (35), despite it being the very antithesis of both.
Simply put, P2OG, which remains fully operational and active, was and is creating Takfiri terrorism ~ and Takfiri terrorists ~ as a means of justifying increased Western-"Israeli" military-intelligence activity in the region. Without P2OG, the growth of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and like-similar groups would have been mute. One of the most daring and murderous operations that emerged out of the P2OG-Mossad nexus was the Sayedat al-Najat Cathedral massacre that left almost 60 Iraqis murdered in the mixed Sunni-Shi'a-Christian Karada district of Baghdad on October 31st, 2010.
While the mass media reported the atrocity as the handiwork of ISIS's precursor, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), a deeper investigation revealed that at the time, ISI wasn't even operationally functional let alone capable of a special-ops-style assault such as this, and, as confirmed by a US Brigadier General, its alleged leader, Omar al-Baghdadi, was nothing but an invention. What really happened was an intricate Mossad operation, carried out with all of the genocidal "Tel Aviv" regime's favourite toys, from car bombs to fake passports. As Hezbollah pointed out in the aftermath of the horror, the attack perfectly fit the recurring pattern of Zionism's regional quest for destabilization and balkanization as well as the age-old "Israeli" plot to foment division between Muslims and Christians (36).
Although no analyst could have picked up on this at the time, four years later, it has also become luminously elucidated that the Sayedat al-Najat Cathedral massacre was designed to plant the ISI/ISIS seed of terror into the minds of the sheepish global masses, to lay the groundwork for its emergence as the most fearsome, most efficient Takfiri terrorist organization ever.
However, now, like then, the fate of ISIS is not merely a link to the Zionist entity's intelligence apparatuses but a front for them.
The connection of the Sayedat al-Najat Cathedral massacre to current events is staggering. It was none other than SITE Intelligence Group ~ run by Rita Katz, an ex-IOF officer, Jewish supremacist fanatic, loathsome Islamophobe, daughter of an "Israeli" spy executed in Iraq and a person who has close ties to the Mossad via her close working relationship with Mossad agent Ben Venzke's Intel Center ~ that "broke the story" on the October 31st, 2010 attack in Baghdad's Karada (36), and it is SITE Intelligence Group once more that has "uncovered" the ISIS beheading videos today (37) which are serving as the false flag pretexts for America's latest Zionist-induced adventure in the Maghreb and Mashreq. SITE and Intel Center have untouched hegemony over the information flow and sources used by mainstream media regarding "Islamic extremism", and thus, whenever the mainstream media publishes anything pertaining to this subject matter, it is regurgitating the hasbara of Mossad.
If the SITE connection wasn't shocking enough, further credence is granted to the factually sound theory of the ISIS beheading videos of James Foley and Steven Sotloff being pretexts for Anglo-Zionist intervention in Iraq and Syria when it is considered that the videos were quite possibly staged. British forensic experts believe that the Foley video is a fraud, citing "camera trickery and slick post-production techniques" as indications of this truth (38), and Al-Jazeera, the Zionist-founded Qatari media giant that has churned out propagandistic report after propagandistic report against Syria from jump street (39), also published a story suggesting the Foley and Sotloff videos were fakes, prior to taking the report down after the uproar it caused (40).
Steven Sotloff's case is the fishier of the two, one of the utmost bizarreness really, as he wasn't just American but also "Israeli", which begs the question: what exactly was he doing in Syria? Moreover, Sotloff's description as a "journalist" strongly appears to be a cover, as he earned his degree from the Mossad-linked Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya (41). Besides, despite "Israeli" and Jewish community media outlets ascribing the efforts to "friends and family", who else but the Mossad could have carried out a 150-man operation to scrub Sotloff's Jewish roots and "Israeli" connections from the web (42)? Due to all of the Zionist monsters' noted connections to ISIS on the intelligence, political, military and logistical levels, is it possible that Sotloff's beheading video was a high-level PSYOP that Sotloff himself was engaged in, to further International Jewry's hegemonic agenda? With so much at stake in the region, the answer is a resounding "yes!"
While some ISIS apologists and sympathizers attempt to whitewash the Takfiri terrorist organization as being hostile to mainstream media, saying the group relies on its own media advisers to deliver its message to the world at large (43), the reality is the polar opposite, and the Takfiri gang's connections to SITE, the Intel Center, Mossad and P2OG, going back nearly a decade, confirm this as an undeniable truism. Like a twisted, more parasitic version of symbiosis, ISIS doesn't exist without Zionist support. Indeed, the relationship between "Israel" and ISIS is most comparable to the shark and the remora… the latter latches on to the former for scraps, while the former relies on the latter to do its dirty work and clean up its mess.
ODED YINON, THE YEOR PLAN AND OPERATION ORANIM REINCARNATED: DIVIDE, CONQUER AND STEAL THE WATER
Seeing ISIS and gaggles of other Takfiri groups rampage through Bilad al-Sham and Bilad al-Rafidayn, one cannot help but feel like the Jewish supremacist regime's plan to break up the entire Arab-Islamic world into smaller, weaker, ethno-religious statelets and then take control over the region's oil, gas and most especially water resources, written in 1982 by "Israeli" foreign policy advisor Oded Yinon and entitled "A Strategy For 'Israel' In The 1980s" (44), is being executed in real time. And that's because it is. Unable to militarily impose its hegemony on the Arab-Islamic world directly, the Zionist entity, which strives to rule over a region which stretches from Egypt's Nile to Iraq's Euphrates in its very own Jewish Imperium, sought a different route, this time via proxy.
As Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah eloquently pointed out in a July 2012 speech, since the Lebanese Islamic Resistance achieved victory over "Israel" in the 2006 July War with Syrian weapons and logistics, the usurping Halakhic regime has been working on a new military strategy to destroy the Syrian Arab Army (45), and by definition of their roles in the Resistance Axis, Hizbullah and Iran. ISIS is that new strategy.
In the wake of Al-Naksa, after "Israel" conquered the rest of Palestine, Egypt's Sinai and Syria's Golan Heights (Al-Jaulan), Zionist entity General Aaron Yariv launched a study into how to establish a zone of "hydraulic security" which would put all of Lebanon and Syria's water resources under the absolute control of "Tel Aviv". During the genocidal Jewish entity's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, now deceased war criminal Ariel Sharon launched an operation within an operation, called "Oranim", to bring this "hydraulic security" zone to fruition and destroy Syria militarily in the process. "Oranim" was a failure however, as the Syrian Arab Army resisted and derailed the scheme (46).
This failure did not put an end to the Zionists' dreams though. Quite to the contrary. The Yinon Plan and Oranim remain very much at the forefront of the illegitimate Jewish entity's political and strategic planning; it plainly realized that the implementation of each of these stratagems would be impossible without a shift in battlefield tactics.
Reflecting this are the highly publicized ISIS takeovers and attacks on waterways and dams in both Iraq and Syria, which aren't being carried out for the Takfiri terrorist group's own benefit, but for their Judaic masters' century-old objectives.
The Jewish "state" is in desperate need of water as its filthy settlers are either consuming and consuming until lands are bled dry, or polluting springs and wells to the point of no return. There is another "Tel Aviv" plot, the Yeor Plan, concocted in 1974 to see Nile water diverted from Egypt's northern Sinai region through tunnels underneath the Suez Canal and ultimately, through the illegally besieged Gaza Strip into al-Naqab, referred to by occupying "Israeli" Jews as the "Negev". The mafia-esque Talmudic enclave has waged water wars against Egypt, Sudan and Libya in the name of this plan (47), and now, using ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and their Takfiri brethren as shock troops, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq can be added to the Yeor-Yinon-Oranim 2.0 file as well.
Takfiri Golem?
In Jewish folklore, the Golem is a creature made of clay and brought to life through Kabbalistic rituals and Hebrew incantations. The purpose of the creature is to take orders from its rabbinical creators, defend Jews and protect the interests of Jews.
Can it be argued, really, that the Takfiris aren't such creatures? They owe their very existence to the Jewish "state" and its dangerous, Gentile-hating, rabbinically-driven, supremacist intelligence services, and every action that they embroil themselves in, from one end of the region to the other, is for the benefit of "Israel". And just like the Golem of Jewish folklore, if Zionism was to act as a rabbi ending his spell over his clay puppet and pull its support from the Takfiris, they would crumble and fade away into nothingness. ISIS should change its name to IGGSIS: "Israel's" Goy Golem in Iraq and Syria.
CONCLUSION: NETANYAHU, AL-QAEDA'S STALE BRAND NAME, GWOT'S REJUVENATION AND WAHHABI-TAKFIRISM'S JEWISH CHARACTER
The 2001 September 11th terrorist attacks, Jewish-Zionist-orchestrated from soup to nuts, from the operation itself to the elephantine benefits that the "Israeli" regime reaped in its aftermath (48), cannot be comprehended without the acknowledgment that they were, first and foremost, a declaration of war on Islam. Hostility towards Islam is something that is embedded in the very core of Judaism ~ and obviously, Zionism, which is Judaism manifested geopolitically ~ and it extends outwards to every fiber of its ideological makeup. Muhammad (S.A.W.W.), the Holy Prophet of Islam, is viewed by the rabbinate as a "madman (49)." Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) and Prophet Jesus the Messiah (A.S.) have been linked together in degradation by Zohar III 282a of the Kabbalah, which refers to them as "dead dogs" who are buried in the realm of demons with worms, donkeys, dirt and vermin all around them (50). Additionally, the rabbinate views the Ishmaelite-Amalekite nation, the Arabs (and the Muslim Ummah as a whole, 250 million of which are Arabs), as its primary enemy. Therefore, simply by being an Arab, Muhammad (S.A.W.W.), by rabbinical edict, is the "spawn of Satan (51)."
The origins of the hatred for Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) began with a man seemingly omnipresent in Jewish affairs, haNesher haGadol, 'the great eagle' Maimonides, who believed the Holy Prophet of Islam to be a "maniac" and penned contempt-filled laws against Muslims which requires the Jew to diminish and destroy them (52).
While inserting many escape clauses into his work and presenting a great deal of decoy texts to convince the goyim that he solemnly respected Muslims, the writings of Maimonides reserved only for "the chosen" were nothing short of homicidal towards believers in Islam, with the most poisonous tidbits reserved for Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) himself (53).
What is most revealing of Maimonides' feelings on Islam is that behind the hatred and incitement is an abyssal fear of it, as he swore in his 'Epistle to Yemen,' chilling indeed, "Islam is the cruelest and most implacable enemy that the Jewish people have faced in their entire history (54)."
Taking this declaration and applying it to the current geopolitical state of affairs, with Maimonides being a rabbinical figure held close to the hearts of all Jews in general and Jewish extremists distinctively, the same Jewish extremists behind the slaughterous PNAC-Zionist wars destroying the Islamic world domino by domino, the convergence of political directives and spiritual motivations is illuminated: Zionism must destroy Islam so the 'divine' rabbinate can continue flourishing as global domineers.
And since Islam cannot be destroyed physically, nor can its Book, the Holy Qur'an, be assailed, as ALLAH (SWT) promised to preserve it in the 15th Surah's 9th Ayah, International Zionism must then tarnish Islam's image with the most dangerous weapon it has in its "chosenite" arsenal: the mass media, which, since Mossad's false flag masterpiece on 9/11, has been pumping out piece after piece, via television, print and the internet, depicting Muslims as deranged, barbaric, irrational extremists hellbent on destroying the Western world. It is within this context that "Israeli" Prime Minister and butcher of Gaza Benjamin Netanyahu told a presidential conference in the usurping entity in June 2012 that "militant Islam" wouldn't be defeated until the end of century (55).
The Jewish gangster regime occupying Palestine, and its like-minded coreligionists across the planet, cannot adhere to the warning of their "great sage" Maimonides and wage a 100-year war against Islam if the "enemy" being targeted remains the same. The hasbara will grow stagnant and the minds of the world's population will become less easier to control.
And with the brand name of Al-Qaeda growing stale in the wake of many its operatives, i.e. Mossad-CIA-MI6 assets, being neutralized in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, occupied Afghanistan and elsewhere ~ most notably Osama Bin Laden, whose "death" was even more of a sham than the Foley and Sotloff beheading videos ~ it was time for the Zionists to revitalize their Global War On Terror (GWOT).
Enter the fanatics of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, whom breathed new life into GWOT ~ which would die in an instant without an influx of "Muslims" behaving malevolently to spread propaganda about ~ and were basically Al-Qaeda on steroids; flashier, glossier, more violent and not hostile to the Jewish supremacist entity even in the slightest.
Instead, these new Takfiri players adhere to the disgustingly sectarian ideological Salafi-Wahhabi tenet of "Fighting nearby apostates is more important than fighting faraway infidels", and even more despicable, "Shias are more dangerous than Jews (56)."
As nonsensical as it is, according to ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, the usurping Zionist disease isn't responsible for the region's decay, the Shi'a ~ and their allies ~ are, and this is why, in unblemished collusion with the Jewish occupation entity's designs on the region, the Takfiris are in perpetual attack mode against Hizbullah, Iran, Syria, Iraq and now, with the Zionist-aligned House of Saud sanctioning suicide attacks against the Houthis (57), Yemen too.
This hateful, Zionist-backed ideology spewed and belched by the Takfiris is not in the same universe as Islam however, and it is not just important but existentially critical to make the distinction between the two,
for the very linkage of Islam with Wahhabi-Takfirism is a crime against the former and an insult to its inherent purity, truthfulness and righteousness.
What Wahhabi-Takfirism most closely resembles is in fact Judaism. Like Judaism, which rejects the humanity of all other persons as goyim, that is, cattle, while upholding the Jew as "God's" gift to the universe and which strives to keep the Jew separate from the "inferior" goy, Wahhabi-Takfirism is intolerant to everyone and everything which doesn't submit to its own perverted line of thinking, be they Sunnis, Shi'a, Sufis, Christians, Yazidis or anyone else. Also like the Jews, who, since the very first prophet they came into contact with, have undermined those prophets, slandered those prophets once they passed away and sinned against those prophets and ALLAH (SWT) by changing the holy revelations and scriptures to better suit their hedonistic, demonic ways,
ISIS wants to change the Qur'an as it views some verses as "incorrect" and "distorted (58)".
In another example of blatant opposition to Islam, its love for knowledge and the civilizational advancements that it inspired, ISIS has banned philosophy and chemistry in Raqqa (59).
Within the first issue of "Dabiq", ISIS's English propaganda rag, in the section entitled "From Hijrah to Khilafah", the Takfiri psychopaths make it clear that their strategy is one completely *devoid* of Divine guidance and totally immersed in lawlessness. ISIS says its terrorist fighters tore apart Iraq by unleashing "maximum chaos and targeting apostates of all different backgrounds". This sounds eerily familiar to the Jews' toxic Talmud which provides a multitude of justifications for murder, hatred and other debauched acts. In BT Kiddushin 66a, one will find this declaration that puts all of the genocidal Zionist wars of aggression into one hell of a perspective, "The best of the gentiles: kill him (60)."
For world Jewry to reach its rabbinically-ordained position as globe holders, hatred for the enemy, the goyim, had to be religiously institutionalized to absolve Jews from wrongdoing in any act of subterfuge that they potentially engage in. This is confirmed by BT Pesahim 113b, "Hating your enemy {goyim} is permitted, even commanded (61)."
All of the Zionist rabbis within IOF draw their authoritative power from this verse, sending their fanatical followers into the olive groves, gardens, valleys and hills of holy Arab-Islamic-Christian land to murder innocents. According to BT Baba Bathra 10b however, there are no Arab (or non-Jewish in general) innocents, "The deeds of Israel are righteous, but the gentiles are capable only of sinning." No matter how many crimes are committed or malevolence is engaged in by a rabbinic 'sage' or his followers, it is just dandy. BT Hagigah 27a confirms none of them will ever go to hell. And if Jewish-Zionist power is resisted, and the goyim fight back, BT Sanhedrin 58b demands vengeance, "A gentile who strikes a Jew deserves death. Striking a Jew is in God's eyes an assault on the Divine Presence (62)."
Is it now grasped why World Zionism hates Hizbullah, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP and others of the same resistant mentality so viscerally?
The frightening similarities between Judaism-Zionism and Wahhabi-Takfirism aren't as bizarre or ironic as one may think. In fact, there is an uncomplicated, albeit incredibly well-hidden explanation behind the likenesses. As revealed by the Iraqi security services in a damning, earth-shattering intelligence report, Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhab, the founder of Wahhabi-Takfirism, and the House of Saud, his financial benefactors and greatest allies, are all descendants of the Dönmeh, a fanatical Jewish sect originally from Turkey which professed faith in Islam in public while secretly practicing the more mystical, Kabbalistic aspects of Judaism and which was founded by Jewish false messiah Shabbatai Zevi. Abdul-Wahhab's grandfather was Tjen Shulman, a member of Basra's Dönmeh-descended Jewish community.
The first Saudi monarch, Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, was a descendant of the Jewish merchant Mordechai bin Ibrahim bin Moishe, whose roots were also in Basra (63). Therefore, Wahhabi-Takfirism isn't just *like* Judaism, it *is* Judaism, and it is disgracefully using Islam as its Mask of Zion.
By granting its Takfiri offspring such an extravagant amount of geopolitical significance, International Jewry has given those resisting its tyranny one more tentacle to be preoccupied with. Unbeknownst to the Zionists however is that those defying its suffocating hegemony over humanity have blown the lid off its little secret and they're working tirelessly to keep it that way.
Takfirism is Judaism-Zionism and vice versa, and no amount of hasbara in the world can reverse what has now been ripped out from under the rug, for the entire globe to see.
Through the exposé of ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and company's military-intelligence-political connections to "Israel" and NATO, as well as the Takfiris' historical and ideological Jewish roots, a new era has begun in defense of Islam and in rejection of the US-"Israeli" Empire.
With the truth as our weapon, the destruction of IGGSIS, "Israel's" Goy Golem in Iraq and Syria, will not just deliver a blow to Operation Yeor-Yinon-Oranim 2.0, but it will also bring humans one step closer to coming to grips with the fact that there is no greater threat to the earth than Judeo-Zio-Imperialism, for if Wahhabi-Takfirism is just its spawn, what lies at its Judaic core must be, by virtue of its essence, infinitely more hideous and iniquitous.
Don't get it twisted though, something with such a nature, no matter how powerful it may become ~ and Organized Jewry is undoubtedly the globe's most influential geopolitical force – has no other fate but collapse, as darkness must always face the light. May the faithful, disciplined and courageous hasten the sunrise.

When the F-18s Leave, Iraqi Government Formation Will Still be Unfinished
In keeping with American interests and values, President Obama rightly authorized limited air strikes to protect U.S. personnel in Irbil and to save tens of thousands of Iraqis. Iraqi citizens interested in seeing ISIS' advance slowed should be grateful. But after the U.S. military campaign ends, the overall political stalemate and crisis will persist. U.S. officials say that President Obama did not demand the ouster of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in return for ordering the airstrikes, and that the timing of the two U.S. policy efforts – ongoing efforts to urge a new inclusive government and U.S. action against ISIS – are occurring on two separate tracks.
Hopefully, the administration's willingness to intervene militarily will not weaken the political will of the parties themselves. Serious, responsible Iraqi leaders should be unnerved by the vulnerability of Irbil (and the Mosul Dam) and the suffering of the Yazidis stranded on the Sinjar Mountain. The time for talk is over. Today, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani went further than ever in pressing Maliki to leave, saying that those who hold onto power are making a "grave mistake." It is now up to Maliki's inner circle and other backers to convince him of the same. Let's hope that American warplanes are an accelerant, rather than an excuse for delay, of Iraq's government formation. Only a new, legitimate and inclusive Iraqi government can oversee the political and military efforts required to stop ISIS' advance.

Financial services – a huge network effect?
According to Wikipedia, when "a network effect is present, the value of a product or service is dependent on the number of others using it". More precisely (for a positive effect): each new user increases, if only slightly, the value of the service for all existing users. Since I have been having a minor spot of trouble with a Bitcoin wallet provider, I have unfortunately realized that this network effects exists rather dramatically for financial services in the following obvious sense. If the remote and electronic financial service provider denies me access to my funds (which, admittedly, it does less frequently than my brick-and-mortar bank) then the immediate feeling is one of distinct discomfort that there will not be a substantial mob in my immediate vicinity to storm the (virtual) bank. Perhaps it matters little that the mob is distributed all over the planet but in this case one remains faced with the issue of (a) finding the other customers; and (b) finding something to storm.
