A Pre-Election Attack on Iran Remains a Possibility
Information Clearinghouse
by Leon Hadar
President Bush still believes the Iranians are developing nuclear weapons  and so do the Israelis. So for journalists to assume that neither the U.S. nor Israel will attack Iran before the November election could constitute another failure of imagination. Cato's Leon Hadar suggests questions the press should ask the presidential candidates about what they think the American response should be to various scenarios in the region  including a Gulf-of-Tonkin-like alleged provocation.
Since the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran was issued at the end of the last year, much of the reporting and analysis in the MSM has been promoting the conventional wisdom in Washington: That a U.S. attack on Iran is now "out."
The Bush Administration had been warning that it might use its military power to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. But with U.S. intelligence agencies making it clear that Iran wasn't developing nuclear weapons, the administration had suddenly lost its casus belli. Without one, the conventional wisdom suggested, President Bush would not be able to mobilize American and international support for an attack on Iran, which in any case would have been a very costly operation.
And yet, even as this conventional wisdom was taking hold, the following events also took place:
1. Reports from Israel during Bush's recent to the Middle East suggested that the president made it clear he didn't consider the NIE a reliable source of guidance as far as his policy towards Iran was concerned. It was not difficult to conclude based on reports quoting "sources" that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney seemed to be marginalizing the significance of the NIE  recalling a similar kind of disdain they exhibited towards the conclusion of the Iraq Study Group. In fact, based on Bush's behavior then  increasing the number of U.S. troops contrary to the recommendation for establishing a timeline for a withdrawal  members of the press should be considering the possibility that he is just as likely to act against Iran as he was before.
2. The incident in the strategic Strait of Hormuz during which Iranian speedboats buzzed three US navy ships and the Pentagon said that US forces were "literally" on the verge of firing on the Iranian boats. That incident should have led journalists to put the scenario in which the United States strikes Iranian nuclear sites on the backburner  and instead consider the possibility that a military confrontation between U.S. and Iranian forces in the Persian Gulf could take place as a result of (a) a provocation by the Iranians (b) a provocation by the Americans or (c) a misunderstanding.
3. Israeli officials also dismissed the NIE conclusions. Moreover, the Israelis expressed concern that Washington seemed to be losing its will to confront Iran and warned that they might have no choice but to launch an Osirak-like unilateral strike against Iran's nuclear installation. Neither officials in the Bush Administration nor Republican or Democratic lawmakers in Congress have challenged Israel's right to take such a unilateral action, especially against a regime whose leaders have disputed the legitimacy of the Jewish state and even made Holocaust-denying statements. The media should consider the possibility that the Israelis could take action  and that since they believe that a Democratic administration would not be quite as supportive of the Israeli position as the Bush administration, they could decide to take action against the Iranians before or after Bush leaves office.
So here are some of the questions American journalists could be asking the likely Democratic and Republican presidential nominees:
Q. The recent incident in the Strait of Hormuz highlighted the danger that provocations by either side or just misunderstanding could ignite a Tonkin-Gulf-like military confrontation between the U.S. and Iran that could degenerate into an all-out war. Do you believe that President Bush has the legal power to retaliate militarily against an alleged Iranian provocation without Congressional authorization?
Q. Are you concerned about a so-called "surprise" in a form of a Tonkin-Gulf-in-the-Persian-Gulf that could affect the outcome of the election? Have you or your aides raised this issue with officials in the administration or discussed it with your colleagues in Congress?
Q. Under what circumstances can President Bush count on your support if he decides to strike Iran before the election in November? Under what circumstances would he not have your support?
Q. The Israelis have also warned that they could take a unilateral action and strike against Iran's nuclear sites if the U.S. and the international community fail to prevent the Iranians from pursuing their nuclear military program. Should the president demand that Israel get U.S. permission before deciding to strike Iran's nuclear sites? What should the consequences be if Israel attacks without U.S. permission?
Q. Would you agree to supply Israel with bunker busting bombs to help it destroy the Iranian installations?
Q. Can the Israeli government count on your support if it decides to strike Iran before the election in November?

The Best Social Studies Sites Of 2018 – So Far
Posted by Larry Ferlazzo | May 30, 2018 | best of the year, social studies | 0 |
Here's one more in my series of mid-year "Best" lists (you can see all 1,900 of the lists here).
You might also be interested in these previous posts:

The Best Social Studies Websites — 2010
Here are my choices for The Best Social Studies Sites Of 2018— So Far:
As you probably know, Starbucks closed all their company-owned stores to have their staff be trained on racial bias. They've now made their curriculum public, and you can view the videos and download the materials at The Third Place: Our Commitment, Renewed. I've added it to to New & Revised: Resources To Help Us Predominantly White Teachers To Reflect On How Race Influences Our Work and to New & Revised: The Best Resources I've Used In Lessons About Race & Racism.
I've categorized and updated several Social Studies-related collections:
Not Very "Best" Lists Of The Week: Gun Violence
"Best" Lists Of The Week: Resources For Teaching & Learning About Race & Racism
"Best" Lists Of The Week: Tools For Teaching About Economics & Jobs
"Best" Lists Of The Week: Natural Disasters
And here are some new Social Studies "Best" lists I've posted over the past few months:

Choose Your Own Adventure games often have to be careful balancing respecting the experiences of those who are being simulated and portraying it sensitively with a social conscious. The Waiting Game, produced by ProPublica, works hard at doing the latter in simulating the experience faced by those seeking asylum in the United States. I'm adding it to The Best Places To Read & Write "Choose Your Own Adventure" Stories and to The Best Sites For Learning About World Refugee Day.
Be George Washington: It's Your Turn To Lead is a new online choose-your-own-adventure game from Mount Vernon. Players can choose various well-know scenarios where Washington had to deal with crises. Be aware that the introductions to each of those scenarios is probably a bit longer than it has to be, but they are still engaging. It can be a one-player game, or a "private" game can easily be set up just for your students. I'm adding it to The Best Online Games Students Can Play In Private Virtual "Rooms" and to The Best Places To Read & Write "Choose Your Own Adventure" Stories.
Google unveiled a "3D digital archive of endangered wonders of the world—a lasting record of monuments at risk of disappearing." Check out Open Heritage. I'm adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Various "Seven Wonders"
Matthew Desmond is author of the amazing book, Evicted. He also just unveiled a new called called The Eviction Lab. It's an interactive map that can give you a detailed report (even by Census Tract!) about history of evictions taking place in what looks like any community in the U.S. You can also read more about it in this New York Times article, In 83 Million Eviction Records, a Sweeping and Intimate New Look at Housing in America. It will be an indispensable tool for any class that is analyzing/comparing neighborhoods, like the annual lesson my Intermediate English class does, A Lesson Highlighting Community Assets — Not Deficits. The Lab also has a Teacher's Guide, though I'm less impressed by that than I am the actual Lab.
Bomb Blasts is a new interactive tool that – in terrifying detail – lets you see the impact a nuclear bomb blast would have anywhere in the world, including in your neighborhood. It also shares information on how the public can learn more about how to reduce the risk of their use. I'm adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Nuclear Weapons.
Americans is an online interactive exhibit from The National Museum of The American Indian. I'm adding it to The Best Sites For International Day Of The World's Indigenous People, where I've included many other resources on Native Americans.
Geography Writing Frames For ELLs (They Can Be Used In Other Subjects, Too)
What Unites Us is a new and impressive Washington Post interactive. It includes people from each of the fifty states sharing their perspective of what unites our country. It's also divided into thematic categories. I'm thinking that they could be used as models for students to share their own perspectives. They could also write/say their critiques of what different people said.
The Pudding created an interactive map – with audio – where you can see and listen to the number one song (in December, 2017) in 3,000 locations around the world. It's pretty cool. I'm adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About The World's Different Cultures.
This Year's "What If?" History Project Student Examples
How the World Expresses Itself in GIFs is a particularly creative and insightful feature in The New York Times. Not only do they show the GIFs, but also provide a very interesting analysis. It's an obvious new addition to The Best Sites For Learning About The World's Different Cultures.
Deliverance From 27,000 Feet is the headline of a New York Times article and interactive that tells a tragic story of climbers and body removal at Everest. I'm adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Mount Everest.
Video: Amazingly Powerful Video Urging Support For Refugees
The New York Times has published a series of 360 videos on "The New Seven Wonders." You can see all of them by clicking here and scrolling down.
Advice From Ta-Nehisi Coates To Teachers
As I've mentioned before, I haven't always been the biggest fan of iCivics, the popular learning games site begun by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. I've thought that many (but not all) of their games have been overly-complicated, and they really put their foot in it with a horribly-done one on immigration (see Sandra Day O'Connor's Site To Change Immigration Game Because Of Your Comments). Last year, however, they began to make some very positive changes (see iCivics Steps Up Its Game Big Time With Free Virtual Classrooms & Primary Source Interactive). They've followed those moves with another good one that is highlighted in The Washington Post: Spanish-language video game aims to teach students about civil rights. Yes, they've produced a Spanish and an English version of the same game, Do I Have A Right?
National Geographic has a nice "This Day In History" feature. It shows an image, along with an accessible short narrative description of the event. What makes it stands-out, though, from other sites on The Best "Today In History" Sites list is that it also provides "tags" that lead you to related educational resources and lesson plans.
"Reading Through History" has a large selection of short, well-done videos about U.S. and World History. Importantly, the audio narration is slow (with accurate closed-captions), which makes them accessible to English Language Learners.
USA Learns is on many "Best" lists, including The Best Online Homework Sites For English Language Learners – Please Offer Your Own Suggestions. It's an excellent – and free – resource with several interactive courses for different levels of English Language Learners. They've just added a new feature – a course to prepare users for the U.S. Citizenship test. Not only is it great for students who are studying for that test, but it also would be helpful to those who are in U.S. History classes. I'm adding this particular addition to The Best Websites For Learning About Civic Participation & Citizenship.
Core Knowledge has released their elementary school History and Geography curriculum, and it is free to download and use. I doubt if most educators would want to use it all "as is," but it certainly has some resources from which to pick-and-choose. You can read more about it at Education Week.
I have some concerns about Laurene Powell Jobs' effort to reinvent high schools (see The Best Articles For Learning About Laurene Powell Jobs' Project To Redesign High Schools). However, her organization has just released an online tool students can use to explore possible interest in various careers. It's called Sokanu and seems fairly engaging and somewhat useful. I wish the descriptions of the different careers was a bit more engaging than a long piece of text, though. Nevertheless, I'm adding it to The Best Websites For Students Exploring Jobs and Careers.
Brainpop videos are good, and I have a teacher's subscription to them. But you have to pay in order to see them. Simple History is a YouTube channel that provides a decent selection of comparable – and in some cases, better – animations. They don't offer the extras, like quizzes, offered by Brainpop. And if your school or district pays for Brainpop, the additional student creation options are great. However, if you're in a school that doesn't pay for it, and you're already spending your money on a ton of other school-related resourced (see The Best Data On How Much Money Teachers Pay Out Of Their Own Pocket – What Do You Spend?), then Simple History is worth a look.

The Maronite Catholic families have been living in Calgary for many years and generations, with the Melkite and Syriac congregations. There had previously been no Maronite Church to serve these families. A number of priests had tried to establish an official Maronite Catholic Community in Calgary but were unsuccessful in their efforts.
In 1990, the families made a special request to His Excellency, Joseph El Khoury Bishop of the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Montreal, Canada. To send a priest to celebrate a Maronite mass and be available in case a family member passes away, or a new infant is to be baptised, or a couple is to get married according to the Maronite Rite. Msgr Feghaly was a retired priest in USA who came for a short time to serve before he passed away after doing a funeral mass in Edmonton. After that His Excellency responded by sending Father Esper Antoun to both Calgary and Edmonton to serve both communities at the same time. Shortly thereafter, he was designated as pastor of the Maronite communities of Calgary and Edmonton.
In 2000, the Calgary Maronite community began to gather for Sunday mass at St. Bernard's Parish. During this time, the community members hosted parties and bake sales, and held other fundraising efforts in order to raise money to obtain their own church. The last mass performed by Father Esper at St. Bernard's Parish was in 2006. By this point in time, the church community had purchased their very own church, "Saint Gabriel Anglican Church," where they first celebrated a Good Friday service and Easter Sunday mass. Father Esper continued to watch over both communities in Edmonton and Calgary, alternating the times of service and often travelling back and forth between the cities two or three times every week!
On December 30, 2006, His Excellency, Joseph El Khoury, dedicated the church as "Our Lady of Peace," thereby officially recognizing the Maronite Catholic Parish of Calgary.
In April 2008, Deacon Michel Kassas began his one-year deaconate under the guidance of Father Esper. On February 15, 2009 at Our Lady of Peace in Calgary, under the presence of His Excellency, Bishop Joseph Khoury, Deacon Michel was ordained into priesthood. Father Michel celebrated his first mass as priest at Our Lady of Good Help Church in Edmonton on February 22, 2009.
After more than 10 years of dedicated service to both Maronite parishes of Calgary and Edmonton, Father Esper was named pastor of Our Lady of Peace in Calgary. In addition, Father Michel was named pastor of Our Lady of Good Help Church in Edmonton, where he continued to serve the community through the Maronite Catholic Rite.
In May 2010, father Esper returned to Lebanon. At this time, Father Michel was covering both Maronite Parishes in Edmonton and Calgary.
In November 28, 2010, Father Michel was appointed as pastor of Our Lady of Peace in Calgary till November 2020.
In November 2020 Father Daniel Fares was appointed as administrator of Our Lady of Peace in Calgary


The new floor area is looking sensational ready for Term 2 classes!!
A huge thanks for the support and effort to strip, remove, rebuild the old floor and to install the new. Lots of extra jobs with cutting, gate repairs, mushroom mounting, whiteboard mounting, rubber floor laying, and even Mat cleaning!!
Again thank you thank you thank you!! Your support is amazing and without you we just couldn't make these things happen!


India's large population relies on the primary health care system to provide every-day health services. A key resource of the primary health care system are the non-physician healthcare workers. They form the vital link between the consumers and the primary health care system. Drawn from within the community, their reach and familiarity with the community is a great asset that can be leveraged to improve healthcare delivery.
In order to address the critical health issues and disease burden that the vast rural population is facing, we have been able to leverage technology to overcome the gaps at the primary health care level by designing, implementing, and evaluating a series of efficient, low-cost and sustainable interventions. Our careful research has shown how these interventions can be delivered successfully, and the potential barriers and facilitators.
Starting from cardiovascular diseases, the project provides evidence for the prevention and management of all non-communicable diseases (NCD) in India, but also has lessons for other developing countries and regions worldwide to effectively combat the emerging disease burden.
Components of this program include integration of m-health- based electronic decision system to enable physicians and non-physician health workers to provide high-quality care and developing health applications for ordinary users. We are expecting greater development in this area through partnership with communities and government.
New programs of research in primary care include issues around women's and adolescents' health conditions. In the former, we plan to focus on developing a life-course approach and for the latter, we would examine unique models of healthcare including those through social media.


I find it hard to believe that some of the ancients mentioned in the biblical story lived to be hundreds of years old. I'd wager that when this scenario presents itself it's more likely that these legends were probably out to bolster the credibility of Israel's national founding narrative and to draw attention to its God. Longevity, at one time, had national and theological concerns attached to it. Seems like this type of portrayal would have been a typical ancient Near Eastern procedure for expressing competing interests between nations and how the gods were viewed as attached to them.


Receiving the wisdom of the Heart Sutra while giving the sutra back to the world, this is the practice of sutra copying or "shakyo" in Japanese. This class for beginners will provide a brief history of sacred writing in Asia and an opportunity for students to make a copy of the sutra themselves. Bring a small brush, sumi-e ink, and stone if you have them. If not, materials will be provided.

Sizing Information: The lug width and buckle width sizes are given in millimeters and total length of watch bands is stated in centimeters. Width is the distance between the lugs, where the strap meets the watch. To determine your width, you can take a ruler or caliper, and measure the width of the part of the strap that uses spring bars / screws to attach to your watch case. Measure this in millimeters.Width is expressed, for example like this: 24/22 (24mm wide by 22mm wide). This first number (24mm) is the width of the strap between the lugs of the watch case. The second number (22mm) is the width of the strap at the buckle.
Straight size Straps: "Straight" strap is one that is the same width at the lugs and the buckle, i.e 24/24 (24mm wide at lugs by 24mm wide at buckle).
Tapered sizes Straps: Tapered straps start out wider at the lugs (the end that attaches to your watch) and narrow (taper) toward the direction of the tail and the buckle. While a "tapered" strap is one that tapers in width from the lugs to the buckle, i.e 24/22 (24mm wide at lugs by 22 wide at buckle).
There are two lengths required, the Longside (length of long section with holes), and the buckle side (length of short section, excluding buckle).
Length is expressed, for example like this: 125/75. The first number (125) is the length in millimeters of the long side with holes. The second number (75) is the length in millimeters of the buckle side.
How do I determine my wrist (length) size?
You can simply measure your wrist with a tape measure or a piece of thread. With the thread option, wrap it around your wrist at the point where you would normally wear your watch. Then, lay the thread out flat and measure the distance from the end to your mark on the thread. Next, refer to the length size chart below and choose the size that corresponds with your wrist measurement.
If you measured your wrist and it turns out, for example, that your wrist is exactly 7" which falls at the end of the 6.6" - 7" size range, then definitely choose the strap size that your wrist measurement corresponds to in our size chart below, which in this case would be 125/75. There's no need to go up a size and there are no in between sizes.

Dan Rolls is one of the hardest working musicians in Victoria having played extensively around Vic and interstate with his brand of fast strumming ballads on his 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars.
He is must see unique Australian artist, his voice shines through with a sound that draws imagination out of the listener.
World Folk, Alternative even Pop are all genres Dan's music fits into. The energy his music creates manages to bridge a divided audience with both practising musicians and untrained music lovers easily becoming enraptured with the subtle beauty of his work.
A live Dan Rolls show consists of Dan on vocals, 12string guitar and trumpet joined by the fabulous Gez Clancy on African drums.
Dan has released a professionally recorded debut album in March 2012, played a month long residency at The Palais in Hepburn Springs and played at iconic Melb venues the Espy, Revolver and the Thornbury Theatre. In just six months last year, Dan played more than 70 gigs all across Vic.
Dan has released a debut LP "Forever Hunted" recorded between August 2011-March 2012.
During the recording process he has managed to capture his raw-live performance as well as layering extra sounds to produce unique studio tracks.


Elitis offers a wide range of fascia/reveal liners and full replacement and new-build fascias in a choice of styles, sizes and colours to suit any building design and to improve the overall façade and performance of the property.
Choose from plain, ogee, square-edged or round nosed fascia boards in 8mm and 10mm widths for capping or supported installations, as well as larger 15mm, 18mm and 25mm full replacement/new build boards for the perfect installation, every time.
All fascia systems come complete with matching corners, joiners and end caps, and a selection of roofline accessories to add the finishing touches. In addition to the three popular décor mouldings, we now offer two new scalloped decorative fascias in convex and concave styles for quick, easy and stylish applications.
Some profiles can also be used as window boards and installed internally or externally as new/replacement window capping or as reveal liners.
Soffits are an integral part of the roofline system, enclosing and protecting the underside of the roof ledge, while providing ventilation to the inner roof area to minimise the risk of trapped, moist air. They provide a highly effective and visually appealing long-term solution to regular maintenance.
We offer a solid 10mm general-purpose board in a range of sizes and colours from 100mm to our newest 605mm board which is particularly useful for deep soffit application or large box-end construction. It's also available pre-vented for even quicker and easier soffit installation and a seamless finish.
Hollow soffit is another popular choice with installers because of its attractive panelled effect and installation friendly tongue and groove profile. The hollow soffit range comes in a choice of 100mm, 250mm and 300mm widths with accompanying ventilation accessories if required.

This module provides tools for creating and using factorized representations of Bayesian networks. Factorized representations of Bayesian networks are discrete CPDs whose values have been flattened into a single array, while the cardinalities and strides of each variable represented are kept track of separately. With the proper setup, these flattened structures can be more easily multiplied together, reduced, and operated on. For more information on factors cf. Koller et al. Ch. 4.

        The function then chooses the entries of *factorlist* that match the queried event or events. It then operates on them to return the probability that the event (or events) specified will occur, represented as a float between 0 and 1.

        Note that in this function, queries of the type P((x=A or x=B) and (y=C or y=D)) are permitted. They are executed by formatting the *query* dictionary like so::

"The Brooklyn Variant of the Coronavirus: Fuggedaboutit." A slice:
There are many deviant and unprecedented aspects of the Covid religion, starting with the fact that for the first time in history, healthy, asymptomatic people of all ages were "quarantined" and placed under virtual house arrest for long periods of time. Lockdowns and "reopenings" are also deviant and unprecedented, not to mention the fact that they constitute blatant theft of property, services, and economic, personal, and religious liberty. The infectious disease experts who have imprisoned us are lionized by the media and bedwetting politicians who claim to "follow the science." From the perspective of an infectious disease expert, you and your family are not individuals with rights and liberties. Instead, you are germ factories, whose movement and social interaction must be severely limited.
In case you think that the use of the term imprisonment is hyperbolic, please note that the official definition of lockdown is "the confinement of prisoners to their cells for all or most of the day as a temporary security measure." A more recent form of deviance in the Covid religion is the edict that those who are fully vaccinated must wear a mask. For the first time in history, we are wearing a mask after being inoculated. For example, no one has ever worn a mask after receiving a measles, flu, or polio vaccine.
The most deviant aspect of the Covid religion is that like other barbaric religions, it involves child sacrifice. Ancient religions engaged in child sacrifice in order to appease a deity or supernatural beings. Under the Covid religion, the educational development, physical health, and mental health of our children have been sacrificed in order to reduce "cases" and appease the great deity: public health police state officials. These officials and their allies in the media constantly predict "impending doom" if children and their parents do not continue to sacrifice their freedom and social development.
GMU Econ grad student Peter Hazlett is among those who, in the Wall Street Journal, reason well about Covid-19 vaccine passports. A slice:
The feedback mechanism of profit and loss signals whether a business is meeting the demands of its customers and workforce. If businesses that don't use vaccine passports suddenly earn lower profits than competitors that do, customers may be demanding safer environments. The market is a discovery process that will find the most desired vaccine-passport policy.
If private enterprises are denied the liberty to set their own policies, the market can't fulfill this function. Since the government isn't omniscient and can't obtain all the knowledge necessary to determine the right policy for every business, we should avoid illiberal, one-size-fits all policies that restrict economic freedom.
Nick Gillespie talks with California-based chef Andrew Gruel.
Here's an interview with British MP Desmond Swayne.
Ramesh Thakur accurately describes lockdowns as "the opiate of champagne socialists." A slice:
On 1 February, BBC's India business correspondent Nikhil Inamdar reported: 'Covid-19 has ravaged the country, shrunk its GDP, sent unemployment soaring and added to the distress of a banking sector that was already in crisis'. Actually, no, Covid-19 doesn't possess such omnipotent powers. Rather, lockdown measures to combat the disease proved deadlier than the disease itself. Meanwhile on 23 December, Forbes published a list of fifty doctors, scientists and healthcare entrepreneurs who've became pandemic billionaires. Covid business has boomed for cabinet cronies in the UK and for consulting firms in Australia. Amazon, Facebook and Google increased their share of US advertising dollars to more than half in 2020. The increased time and money spent on these platforms in turn fattens the consumer data collected by them and increases their market appeal for advertisers. This just might influence their decisions on censoring lockdown-critical commentary.
Yet millions of Covidians are brainwashed enough to believe that opposition to all this is 'right-wing claptrap'. Sigh.
Jade Norris decries the "creeping authoritarianism of the Covid-19 restrictions." A slice:
I am seriously concerned that we may already have fallen too far down the slippery slope. The latest incarnation of this recurring authoritarian nightmare comes in the form of vaccine passports, with government propping this up as the 'final' way to 'get out' of the pandemic (I am losing count of how many of those have been posited to date). Not only would vaccine passports ignore the fact that coercion is widely regarded as bad practice in public health, it would once again leave behind the most vulnerable in society, branding many as outcasts. Groups who lack trust in authorities are most likely to reject vaccines, and coercing them to take one is unlikely to improve that trust. In 2004, Boris Johnson said that if an 'arm of the state' ever asked him to produce an ID card, he would eat it in front of them. But vaccine passports now seem to be a foregone conclusion, and it's hard to see what the PM actually stands for – his 'liberal at heart' platitudes are just not believable. The man seems to simply be a vessel for the opinions and ideas of others. Doubly concerning, one backbench conservative MP told me last week that he has recently come to believe that government's 'no return to lockdown' promise is built upon mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports.
Those of you who continue to doubt the terribleness of the tyranny to which many in the Covidocracy wish to subject humanity might wish to consult this terrifying document.
Jonathan Sumption tells Brendan O'Neill that "lockdown is an assault on our humanity." He, of course, is correct.
Also from Jonathan Sumption is this new essay, "It's inhuman that we've been left at the mercy of Sage's garbage Covid models." A slice:
What seems to be going on is that every one is covering their backs. Ministers want to pass the buck to the scientists. They want to be able to say "What a triumph for our policies" if things turn out fine; and "We followed the science" if they turn out badly. The scientists don't like being made to carry the can for what is basically a political judgment. They want to be able to say "These were only scenarios, not predictions" if things turn out fine; and "We told you so" if they turn out badly. Each group is trying to manipulate the other. Balanced assessments based on actual evidence are sadly missing.
There are more important things at stake than the reputation of ministers or their advisers. Human beings are social animals. Interaction with other people is not a luxury. It is a basic human need. It is also the foundation of our mental health, our social organisation, our leisure activities and our economy.
There is a breed of public health officials who are indifferent to these things. They have never reflected, at any rate in public, on what makes life worth living. As far as they are concerned, human beings are just instruments of government health policy. They will be lining up to tell us that it is dangerous to return to normal life because we cannot be absolutely sure that normal life will be risk-free. They will quote the gloomier speculations of modellers as evidence of what "might" happen if the Government stops treating us like caged animals or inert specimens in some ghastly sociological laboratory.
Bridget Phetasy rightly detests the very notion of vaccine passports. A slice:
And before you come running into my mentions waving your yellow 'International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis' card bragging about how many countries you've been in where you needed to show your vaccinations (you didn't) and how all of us dumb, ignorant rednecks need to leave our bubble — I'm not talking about international travel. What a country demands for entry in is completely up to that country. A digital domestic passport system to partake in society is very different than needing to show physical proof that you got your yellow fever shot before you enter Uganda.
Here's Wall Street Journal columnist James Freeman on the media's treatment of Florida governor Ron DeSantis. Two slices:
It's hard to find silver linings in this era of expanding government authority and contracting individual opportunity for free expression. But at least the media establishment can no longer pretend that its abandonment of journalistic standards was necessitated by the unique character of Donald Trump. "Resistance journalism" is now industry standard, judging by a story on Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis by the formerly prestigious television newsmagazine "60 Minutes."
Resistance journalism is the term coined by media maven Ben Smith, who was also one of the genre's most successful practitioners. The idea was to create compelling anti-Trump narratives unbound by the traditional obligations of fact-checking.
As for the network's comment on Mr. Kerner, CBS lawyers may someday regret letting this one become public. Rather than contradicting the substance of his message, CBS simply confirms that they had access to the facts before running their story.
The term resistance journalism is starting to seem a little dated. Perhaps it's better to just call it propaganda.

A pair of Pacific University alumni have received top honors for their work within the intercollegiate athletics communications profession.
Blake Timm '98, who served as the university's sports information director from 1999-2015, has been named the 2017 Warren Berg Award recipient by the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Berg Award is presented annually to a CoSIDA College Division member who has made outstanding contributions to the field of sports information, and who by his or her activities, has brought dignity and prestige to the profession. Timm is currently an assistant commissioner for the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
Chelsey Chamberlain '12, received a CoSIDA Rising Star honor, presented to both a university division and a college division member with 10 years of service or less whose work at their institution and service, dedication, energy and enthusiasm to the profession make that individual a "rising star" in athletic communications. Chamberlain, a four-time All-Northwest Conference softball standout, began her career as a sports information assistant at Pacific following graduation and is currently an associate director of athletics communications at the University of New Mexico.
Pacific University Athletics has more on the two honorees.

The artificial island is being built up by pumping sand from the sea floor, in order to meet the existing and future housing, industrial and commercial development demands of the Malé region and as a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels. The official settlement was inaugurated by President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom on May 12, 2004.

The development and management of the island is undertaken by a government-owned corporation called Housing Development Corporation (formerly Hulhumalé Development Unit/Hulhumalé Development Corporation) which was incorporated on March 23, 2005.

Land reclamation has increased the island's area to , making it the fourth largest island in the Maldives.  the island has a population of more than 50,000; it is planned to house as many as 240,000 by the mid-2020s.

Location within Malé City
Hulhumalé is located northeast of the airport island of Hulhulé, to which it is connected by a causeway:

Hulhumalé is also represented at the local level  by one councilor in the Malé city council.

History

Reclamation of Hulhumalé began on October 16, 1997, on the Hulhulé-Farukolhufushi lagoon  off the northwest coast of Malé. Initial reclamation (or Phase I), consisting of 45% of land mass, , was carried out by the Ministry of Construction and Public Works (MCPW) at a cost of USD 11 million. The project was then continued by a Belgian Joint Venture Company, International Port Engineering and Management (IPEM) and Dredging International (DI) costing an estimated USD 21 million. All the works involving reclamation and coastal structure development covered in Phase I were completed by June 2002, and 1,000 residents moved to the island in 2004. In the next phase of reclamation, completed in 2015,  were added; and, by the end of 2019, there were more than 50,000 residents.

Development

 A basis of development known as Phase I was formed under the first Master Plan which was completed in July 2001 by a consortium of consultants from Singapore with the contribution of many government agencies, committees and individuals. It conceptually defines the long-term land use and development strategy (including urban design proposals, transportation plans and utility infrastructure) with considerations for future infrastructure connections to the adjacent Phase II and planned airport extension areas. The Master Plan is to be periodically reviewed and adjusted to include advances in development.

Phase I of the Master Plan includes:

Stage 1A (completed)
 A 280-room apartment complex with a combination of 2,3 and 4 bedroom units
 An integrated primary and secondary school housing 20 classrooms
 A public building for government and social requirements containing 32 units
 A hospital with 50 bed capacity
 A mosque for 1500 people
 Four commercial buildings with a total of 48 units
 An asphalt-paved road network approximately  long
 An adequate land space for the cultivation of indigenous plants and imported varieties

Stage 1B (to be completed by December 2005)
 232 condominium housing units
 120 basic housing units
 169 beach plots
 56 standard plots
 132 terraced houses
 280 housing units
 57 residential beach front plots
 109 residential beach plots
 56 residential standard plots
 132 plots for terraced housing
 A public building with 32 public units
 15 industrial and commercial land plots with an average of  per unit

Stage 1C (planned for 2006)
 1900 housing units

Stage 2 (targeted for 2016)
 2950 housing units

Stage 3 (targeted for 2020)
 3075 housing units

Hulhumalé is underutilized relative to other central atolls in the Maldives. It would take the lead of the government to improve utilization by moving government ministers, government departments and public institutions to Hulhumalé and assisting public servants with relocation costs. Pending urban development, greenery landscaping would help make the place more attractive.

On 15 January 2015 the second reclamation phase of Hulhumalé was launched, which will include the construction of a youth centre. The $50 million project was awarded to Dredging International NV, Belgium earlier this year.

Transport
Hulhumalé has road network which was planned together with the development of the island.

The island is connected via a causeway to the airport island Hulhulé Island, allowing easy road transport between the Velana International Airport and Hulhumalé. With the opening of the Sinamalé Bridge between Hulhulé and Malé Island in September 2018, the road networks of the three islands were connected for the first time.

The city of Regina is the capital city of the Saskatchewan province, and the rate of substance abuse in the city has continued to go up in recent years. The city population is a little less than 200,000 and the high rate of substance abuse has left a shortage of treatment options for residents. Many drugs pose a threat to the city and alcohol use is also an issue. Binge drinking has become widespread among teens and young adults in Regina, and methamphetamine use is also popular with this age group. Most of this drug is smuggled in from Alberta province. Crystal methamphetamine is the most popular form of the drug and appeals to lower income residents. IV drug use in the entire Saskatchewan province including Regina has caused an increase in HIV and other diseases transferred by sharing needles.
Cocaine is another drug that is widely available in Regina. This drug can be found in powder and crack form and can be found in large quantities. Law enforcement have stepped up efforts to fight cocaine and methamphetamine trafficking but these drugs still manage to make it into the city and on the street. Prescription drug abuse is becoming an increasing problem in Regina, and Oxycontin is the favored prescription drug of choice. Users may swallow, crush and snort, or crush and inject the drug to get the desired effects.
Marijuana is a very common drug in Regina, and a significant amount of the drug is grown locally. While it is illegal to cultivate the drug most law enforcement concentrate on eliminating the methamphetamine and cocaine trade, as well as prescription medication abuse. The number of suicides in Regina caused by alcohol or drug abuse has risen over the last decade. Substance abuse is a very real problem and community leaders are desperate to find solutions to this issue.
In Regina the possession of marijuana or hashish can bring a sentence up to 5 years in prison and a large fine, depending on the amount of the drug and which offense it is. Heroin or cocaine possession sentences will depend on the offense. A 1st offense can mean 6 months in jail and a fine of $1,000. A 2nd offense brings up to 1 year in jail and a $2,000. Further offenses can mean up to 7 years in prison. Methamphetamine possession 1st offense may bring 6 months in jail and a fine of $1,000. A 2nd offense brings up to 1 year in jail and a $2,000, and further offenses can mean up to 3 years in prison.


His relationship with Gregg Popovich broke down and he looked for a way out. He's poured in 30 or more points on 13 occasions, including a career-high 45-point haul against Utah on New Year's Day. When he stepped to the free throw line during the second quarter and thousands of home fans screamed "traitor" relentlessly, there was no reaction. The only downfall is the construction near the arena (the old Boston Garden I believe) which limits entrances. Despite it being highly unlikely he'll sustain the assist production, Irving appears to have completely shaken off his early season struggles. A broken hand has sidelined Baynes since Dec. 20, and he'll make his return with no restrictions Wednesday. Last year's team was right up there in fun factor, because it was so unexpected. And that's fine. It's good to have expectations and to hold people accountable. Now, I don't know what basketball players do at the end of the season, (Perhaps they go golfing with The Leafs?) but I cannot wait for The Raptors to get swept in the first round of the playoffs by Brooklyn so that we can all go back to focusing on the important things: our sad meaningless lives. I am Lakers fan for life and have been following that team since childhood. The Warriors have more frontline talent than anyone, but all of their pieces also fit incredibly well.For years, Stevens had Boston playing as more than the sum of their parts. The team had lost eight straight games and doubt was starting to creep in, at least from the outside. But it's more about taking advantage of the remaining games against Philadelphia, Indiana, Milwaukee and Toronto, who are, in order, the teams Boston needs to leapfrog in the standings. The reason? Boston is already pretty good, despite being disappointing, and they should only get better.The only guys who are currently fringe players are end-of-bench options Brad Wanamaker, Guerschon Yabusele and the two Two-Way players: P.J. Dozier and R.J. Hunter. Everyone else (excluding Jabari Bird for obvious reasons) has shown enough to be considered an NBA player. Am I able to set up sub-accounts within my Shipping Pass subscription for family and friends. He's looking for the first big contract of his career.
Leonard has 20 points, 11 rebounds, Raptors top Nets 122-105.
With an uncertain future for this franchise, would you get SEASON TICKETS for next season??? The franchise and organization appear interested in keeping and growing a STRONG product. Denver went 1-2 with losses at Charlotte and Atlanta to close out its five-game road trip before it returned home to beat the Grizzlies behind 27 points, 12 boards and six assists from Jokic.
Where do the Boston Celtics go from here.
Lowry brought the sold-out Scotiabank Arena crowd of 19,800 to its feet with a three-pointer from the corner to tie the game 68-68 near the midway point of the third quarter. Who cares anymore? This can still be a Finals team. That's the current starting five and all will feature prominently come the postseason. For a score-first player, that type of shooting is simply unacceptable. In reality, most overlooked the role he was really playing. You just don't want to be the team that they find the rhythm against." In Green's opinion, every team needs a little drama. "For sure," he said. "You got to. A little adversity. You need adversity. That comes in many types of shapes, sizes and forms. Whether its in the locker room, whether it's injuries or whether shooting or on the court or coaching style. That makes it imperative that the Celtics press the NBA for a decision or guidance on Bird, sooner rather than later. Just like last year, when Hayward went down five minutes into the season and then Irving's season ended in March, you have to adjust. Mavericks Tickets Upcoming: Jan 27 – American Airlines Center – TX – Dallas, TX Raptors vs. San Antonio resolutely climbed out of a 15-point hole to beat the Lakers on Friday before holding the Jazz and Suns under 100 points later in the week. So, be forewarned, the ACC staff who work at the Raptors games are officious and unhelpful.The 2016 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game that was played on Sunday, February 14, 2016.

The Shadwell Stud 2011 brochure has arrived.
This is a job we've all been eagerly awaiting delivery of. Shadwell Stud appointed us back in the summer to design their annual stallion brochure. The brochure is designed to showcase their stallions and provide a detailed account of the pedigree notes, race record, sales record and best progeny.
We used three specialist stocks in the brochure, embossing, gold foil and metallic inks, along with index cutting short edge pages which host the detailed information of each stallion – so as not to conflict with the beautiful imagery in the main pages. Equestrian artist, Hubert de Watrigant, was commissioned to create the cover image.
A decade of Standing for Success.
Shadwell Stud appoints The Click after a four-way creative pitch.
The 2012 Shadwell Stud stallion brochure.

The man who named the
This memoir of Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, is an intimate look at the man who created the field of near death studies and named the near death experience. It is an exciting, and heart-wrenching self-exploration of the man who fearlessly wrestled with humankind's most important and perplexing question: What happens when we die?
Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife
Paranormal begins with a harrowing account of Moody's suicide attempt—due to an un-diagnosed illness that led him into depression—and proceeds to explore his lifelong fascination with life beyond our bodies. Moody traces the roots of his obsession with the point of death and how he launched the entirely new medical field of near-death studies. His exploration dramatically advances paranormal research by melding ancient and modern techniques to arouse many of the transformative elements of the near-death experience in people who are still living.
After more than four decades of studying death and the possibility of an afterlife, Moody still sees endless promise in the fringes of psychological sciences, where he continues to seek answers to what happens to our souls after death.

Q: passing a variable from google script to to html I'm trying to have a video play based on a random number generated in a spreadsheet.  since google sheets doesn't allow you to embed youtube videos directly I'm trying to do it through a custom dialogue box.
Here's what I have so far:
Google Script Code
    var PlayDes = sheet.getRange('g2').getValue();
    GameSheet.getRange('D4').setValue(TotYds1)
     var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Youtube')
        .setWidth(560)
        .setHeight(315);
    SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
       .showModalDialog(html, PlayDes);

Then the HTML code is:

<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="google.script.host.close()" />

I'm looking to change the video URL in the html code based on the value that's pulled from cell G2 in a spreadsheet.

A: Thanks to @JSmith for the help here's the solution I found...
Google Script side
 function retrieveValue(){
  spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('sheet ID')
  sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Data')
  var PlayDes = sheet.getRange('g2').getValue();
 return (sheet.getRange('g2').getValue());

Then on the  html side

One issue I had was the browser didn't like my script and was labeling it as dangerous script which I then had to over ride.

A: Let's say your cell is g2
create a script in your IDE like so:
function retrieveValue()
{
  ...//grab spreadsheet and sheet
  return (sheet.getRange('g2').getValue());
}

then call it on your HTML client side as so:

NOTE
google.script.run is an asynchronous call so you'll have to wait the call is finished to get the desired value on the client side.

The overwhelming majority of people don't change their air filter nearly often enough, and this can lead to everything from poor indoor air quality to an air conditioner that breaks down more frequently. The average homeowner should change their air filter at least one per month in order to ensure that their system continues to run smoothly and that they're enjoying clean and comfortable air at home.
At ACS Home Services, we want to help you make the most of your heating and air conditioning system, and that's why we're doing our part to help you change your filter more frequently. That's why we offer an HVAC filter program which takes the stress and confusion out of buying filters and ensures you always have a clean filter ready to go.
When you sign up for this program, you'll receive regularly scheduled deliveries of filters for your heating and cooling system right to your door! Each delivery contains three months' worth of filters. And the best part? Shipping is completely automatic and absolutely free!
