Five years since the Russia-Georgia war
(Interpressnews.)
TBILISI, DFWatch–The situation is still tense in the conflict region five years after the Russia-Georgia war, which resulted in hundreds of deaths and the occupation of two Georgian breakaway territories by Russia.
The recent tension was caused by Russian soldiers moving the so-called border, which led to several houses and agriculture lands ending up on the other side.
Wednesday, the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Georgia issued a statement which says that despite the attempts of the Georgian government, Russia is not taking responsive steps. It also says that five years after violating sovereign territory and large scale military aggression against an independent state on August 7, 2008, Russia still occupies 20 percent of Georgian territory, which contradicts fundamental principles of international law.
"It deprives hundreds of thousands of victims of several waves of ethnic cleansing, including that of 2008, of their internationally recognized right to a safe, dignified and voluntary return," the statement says. "This has been concurred by Russia's persistent efforts to obtain the recognition of Georgia's occupied regions under its effective control and heavy military presence, including through active application of political, military and economic leverages."
370 persons died in Georgia after the five day war. 228 of them were civilians. 2 232 were wounded – this is the final official information which DF Watch received from the Defense Ministry.
Last year, it was officially published that were 190 civilian victims.
Three journalists died, two Georgians and one Dutch. Russian soldiers killed several prisoners after torturing them because they refused to insult the Georgian flag. Video footage of their torture exists and a few days ago, the president's administration republished it.
According to the Defense Ministry of Russia, there are two military bases in the breakaway regions. A 'Fourth Base' was established in South Ossetia on February 1, 2009, at a military base already built by Russians before the war.
In 2010, Yury Tanayev, de facto Defense Minister of breakaway South Ossetia, and Russian Defense Minister signed an agreement, which let Russia lease the military base for 49 years without any fees and has the right to set up military infrastructure, including a military airfield.
The same conditions apply for the 'Seventh Military Base' which is in the Abkhazian region. It is also in force from February 1, 2009, with this name and with same rights. There are four thousand military service personnel on this base, a number which does not include relatives of soldiers or infrastructure personnel.
Late at night on August 7, 2008, war broke out as the Georgian army attacked Tskhinvali, after growing tension for several weeks. Russia officially engaged in war on August 8. Georgia claims that Russia had its army and military equipment in place earlier.
The war lasted five days. Georgia had to leave territories which it controlled before the war – Akhalgori in South Ossetia and Kodori Valley in Abkhazia. Russian soldiers went beyond the borders of the conflict regions and occupied several large towns in Georgia, including Gori, in the Shida Kartli region, and Zugdidi, in the Samegrelo region.
August 9-10 there was a fear in Tbilisi that the soldiers would also invade the capital as their units were about 35km away from the capital.
After mediation by French president Nicolas Sarkozy, the a ceasefire agreement was reached August 12. Georgia signed it in Tbilisi on August 15 and Russia on August 16 in Moscow. August 12, then President Dmitry Medvedev issued the ceasing fire order, but attacks continued in Shida Kartli, as the Russian army remained passive while paramilitaries from North Caucasus and Tskhinvali continued their raids and civilians were robbed.
After the ceasefire agreement, Russia withdrew most of its armies from the Samegrelo Region in western Georgia and the Shida Kartli region. Buffer zones were set up close to the borders of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, while surveillance points were left in three settled points (Poti, Senaki and Perevi). August 26, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
The term 'occupation' in connection with Russia's presence in the breakaway regions was first used by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2010. The Council of Europe also passed its first official document which mentioned the term 'occupation.'
In November, 2010 at a NATO Parliamentary Assembly, the term 'occupation' and 'ethnic cleansing' were used in a resolution. The term was also used in a document adopted after a conference of the Council of Europe and Parliament of Georgia in March 2011.
In November 2011, the term was first used in an official EU document.
In spring 2013, Russia attempted to get the term 'occupation' removed from documents of the Council of Europe, but didn't manage and it remains in the documents.
In November 2011, the Council of Europe passed a resolution about Georgia which calls for EU member states to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia as 'occupied territories.' 27 members of the Council of Europe, which are members of the EU, adopted five point statement of Secretary General of the Council of Europe on Russia-Georgian war.

Uduk Hope Inc. recognizes that refugees in South Sudan face very unique challenges. We believe that the best solutions to these challenges are those proposed by the community members themselves. The primary focus of our faith-based initiatives is to support the functions of the Uduk church network in Doro Refugee Camp as requested by the Uduk community. The Uduk church network is composed of 19 Christian churches from different parts of the refugee camp. Uduk Hope's exploratory team met with the leaders of the Uduk churches many times in the summer of 2016. In these meetings the leaders requested financial support for special events such as the Christmas celebration, so that the churches can host and feed many members of the community. The second request was for Uduk Hope Inc. to help complete the translation of the Old Testament of the Bible into T'wampa, the Uduk language. There were many other requests made that we are not able to focus on at this time. Nevertheless, in 2017 and 2018, we will be giving financial support to special church events and attempting to continue the Old Testament translation project.
There are many other religious and cultural groups within Doro Refugee Camp other than the Christian Uduk community. Although our faith-based initiatives focus solely on the Uduk church network, the special events and functions of the Uduk church that we support are inclusive of all religious groups and anyone who wants to participate in them. In this way, there is no limiting of access to the services we provide through our faith-based branch. Furthermore, the Bible translation project will be building upon the works of previous organizations, like Serving in Mission (formerly Soudan Interior Mission), who have translated for other groups in the past in a peaceful way.

Leading A Data-Driven Material Marketing Journey With Vitor Peçanha
No matter how the digital area has progressed considerably over the last years, something stays the same– a chief marketing officer uses different hats.
Case in point: Vitor Peçanha, co-founder and CMO at Rock Material, a world-renowned leader in content marketing.
Utilizing old doors from a country house of his co-founder's father, Peçanha built the very first tables for the start-up in 2013.
Big (and small) decisions that formed Rock Content into what it is today were made around those tables. And the chief marketer sat at the heart of every decision-making procedure, driving development and function with imagination and analytics.
Today, his function as a CMO has actually never been more vibrant and prominent.
What does it take for modern-day CMOs to become high-impact leaders that drive their organizations to success?
Peçanha has a few views to share.
Sharing And Accomplishing A Typical Objective
What was your vision when you began your function as a CMO?
Vitor Peçanha: "As the founder of a marketing start-up, all I had at the start was an idea and a plan to perform it.
We established Rock Content due to the fact that our company believe that there's a better way to do marketing by using material to draw in and thrill your audience and create organization.
When we first began in 2013, content marketing wasn't extremely well known in the nation, and our vision was to become the biggest content marketing business worldwide, starting by presenting it to Brazil."
How do you make certain your marketing goals are aligned with the total organization?
VP: "At Rock Material, we have a structured management model in location.
Every 6 months, the executive team evaluates the company's objectives– like earnings, net earnings retention (NRR), etc– to create the overall business prepare for the business.
Then, we have a design of cascading responsibilities and essential performance indicators (KPIs) that begin at the top and end at the private factor, where all the actions are linked to each other.
One of the repercussions is that a lot of the department objectives are usually quite close to profits, sometimes even shown the sales team.
My specific goal, for example, is the business's earnings objective, not a marketing-specific metric."
Investing In Individuals And Training
How has your philosophy on building and managing a group altered gradually?
VP: "I learned a couple of things over the last ten years, however I think the most important one is that an excellent staff member who delivers consistent quality and goes the "additional mile" deserves 10x someone who simply does what he's told, even if correctly.
This grit that some individuals have makes an entire distinction, and now I focus my hiring on this soft ability more than anything.
Naturally, if it's a more senior position, the experience will play a huge role, but I prefer to train a passionate junior worker than deal with an adequate senior one."
In a 2022 Gartner survey, the lack of internal resources stuck out as the greatest gap in performing content methods. Facing this difficulty, how do you draw in and maintain leading marketing talent?
VP: "We developed a substantial brand in the digital marketing space over the last ten years. We are viewed as innovators and trendsetters in the area, specifically in Brazil, so we do not have an attraction problem when it comes to marketing skill.
Likewise, among our "hacks" is our learning center, Rock University, which has actually already crossed the 500,000-student mark due to the fact that we are basically educating the market for our requirements.
Retention is a different game because we need to keep them engaged and delighted with the company, so we invest a lot in training and other initiatives.
I choose to have smaller groups, so each member has more responsibility and acknowledgment. Given that we outsource our material development to our own freelance network, it's easier to have a scalable group."
Leading In A Data-First Culture
What sort of material marketing metrics do you concentrate on, and how do you identify whether you have the best strategy in location?
VP: "The main metric of my group today is Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs), so I need to produce not only volume but top quality prospects for the sales team.
It's simple to understand if we are carrying out well or not with this metric, and we are constantly keeping an eye on the SQL sources based on just how much pipeline each source creates.
So, for example, if a sponsorship creates 1 million in the pipeline and expenses me 100,000, I increase the investment there."
They state the CMO function is mainly driven by analytics rather than gut decisions. Do you concur? How do you utilize data in your day-to-day work?
VP: "I agree, and the majority of my decisions are based upon information.
I'm constantly checking how many SQLs my group generated, the cost per dollar created in the pipeline, and channel and campaign efficiency. However information alone isn't adequate to make thoughtful decisions, which's where suspicion and experience are available in.
A CMO needs to take a look at information and see a story, comprehend it, and compose its next chapter.
Naturally, not every initiative is greatly based upon data. It's still important to do things that aren't directly quantifiable, like brand awareness campaigns, however these represent a little part of my investment and time."
What are the skills that CMOs require which do not get enough attention?
VP: "Having the ability to craft and tell a fantastic story, both internally and externally, is among the best skills a CMO must have, and it does not get sufficient attention in a world concentrated on information.
Data is important, naturally, but if you can't turn that into a method that not just brings outcomes but also thrills individuals, you'll have a hard time being a fantastic CMO and leader."
If you needed to summarize the worth of a material marketer, what would it be?
VP: "A terrific content marketer can produce pieces of content that appear basic and simple to compose, but behind them, there's constantly a technique, a lot of research, and abilities that are unnoticeable to the end user, which's how it ought to be."
What do you believe the future of content marketing will be? The function of AI in material technique?
VP: "If everything works out, the term material marketing will no longer be utilized in the near future.
Content techniques will be so incorporated within the marketing department that it won't make good sense to call it content marketing, the very same way we do not say Web 2.0 anymore.
Excellent CMOs and marketers will comprehend that the customer follows a journey where whatever is content (even pay per click, offline media, and so on), and it does not make sense to treat them independently."
Take a look at this SEJShow episode with Loren Baker, where Peçanha talks more about what lies ahead in material marketing.

I've been looking for a great tutorial around building a gaming backend with Azure, and finally found a fantastic one from an MVP, Nick Prueh, Technical Director of Daedalic Entertainment. It includes the source code, and step-by-step tutorials — I cannot recommend it enough!
Today, almost every single game out there has got an online component: These range from sharing game progress across multiple devices, to tracking achievements and enabling social services, to implementing the whole game logic on the backend side for online multiplayer and cheat protection.
The frontend shows all the nice graphics and effects and processes user input. Frontends can be implemented for a variety of platforms, including classic Desktop PCs, mobile devices, web browsers and game consoles.
The backend can be as simple as a standalone executable running on some Linux machine and providing a public communication endpoint (i.e. IP address and port). However, most of today's gaming backends are far more complex (and most of them are just as mysterious and secret). The Steam backend allows to store savegames, unlock achievements and connect with friends. Most shooter games provide a master server, which allows players to run their own local servers and advertise these servers to their friends and other players. And some games even run their whole game logic in the backend. User input is processed on the client, and sent over the network. The backend verifies whether this input is legal, processes its impact on the game world, and sends the results to all connected clients.

TVS welcomes athletic upgrades
Windscreens displayed on the new Twin Valley South football bleachers.
One of two brand new gymnasium scoreboards at Twin Valley South.
WEST ALEXANDRIA — Twin Valley South officials were happy to receive new upgrades to a number of their athletic facilities for the upcoming 2016-17 school year. Superintendent Dr. Clint Moore, who is retiring this year, and incoming superintendent Robert Fischer, recently discussed the new changes which will benefit the school district.
"We have collected close to $220,000 in donations so far from various entities to replace some of the aging athletic surfaces, bleachers and other things that are in desperate need of upgrading," said Fischer in a recent interview. "All of our funds used to make this happen have been from donations and not from using any school funds or taxpayer money. We want the taxpayers' money to be used strictly for educational purposes."
"It started in August of 2015, we knew that the bleachers was not going to make it through another season," Dr. Moore said. The football bleachers were over 40 years old. The wooden boards and framing were too far gone and were declared a safety hazard.
"The timing was not right so we basically demoed them, laid down a new concrete slab, brought in temporary bleachers and then used the time frame of 2015 to raise money," Moore added. "Once we reached the necessary funds, we went ahead with the projects."
The bleachers were completed in February, the two scoreboards inside the high school gymnasium were bought at about the same time and installed in April. South will have a new sound system for football games, to be completed before the season starts. Also on the list of projects to complete is an electronic marquee for the front gates at the football field, and new lighting for the field.
Because of the age of the old lighting system, the need for upgrading is necessary. In addition, the school plans to refurbish the gymnasium floors, and to refurbish the middle school gymnasium scoreboards.
None of these projects are in any particular order, but they are on the list of things to do with the exception of the football field lighting, according to school officials.
"Corey Mangan, Community First/Outreach Coordinator is also on board for even more changes to the athletic facilities at TV South," Dr. Moore mentioned. "He was involved and approached the school for these installments before Fischer came in. He is whom we are working with to do some things to have better access to our baseball facilities and that is for paved walkways. We have new steps leading up to the baseball fields, but the path is currently grass so we we need to extend that into a walkway. The Developmental Disabilities Board is in charge of that, but Mangan will do the work. They work on handicap facilities in Preble County. They also want to build a pavilion next to the baseball/softball fields."
Twin Valley South is the home of the Preble County Special Olympic events, and has hosted those events several times in recent years. The plans are to make everything usable for those with disabilities, — the goal is to have all South facilities available for multiple uses and to be used often.
"We need to make everything welcoming to the community without using school money, and these additional projects by the DD Board and by Corey Mangan are not using taxpayer dollars," Fischer emphasized.
Donors are still welcome to contribute to the fundraising for the athletic facilities. Those who wish to do so may contact Fischer at 937-839-4898 at Twin Valley South. Others who may be contacted include Jim Pemberton, Mike Randolf, track and field coach Glen Mabry, Dr. Moore, athletic director Tony Augsberger, principal Scott Cottingim, and Jeff Tully, who are all working on the massive project.

How does she teach her kids manners? I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you. That boy dug a grave for his dead animal. Bryan didn't have to do this for me. Keiko is studying furiously. I thought that he would come. I know you're hiding somewhere in this room. There's one thing I forgot to mention. Unfortunately, that hasn't been possible. What is permitted to Jove is not permitted to an ox.
The defense lawyer didn't ask the right questions. The passage illustrates Robinson Crusoe's landing on a wild desert island after his shipwreck. I didn't say that. That's your interpretation. Willie made a loose translation from the original. Stop using emoticons everywhere. It makes it look like you're on ecstasy... Was he quick with the sail? I can go anywhere. I wanted to see what would happen. Password? He went downward in life.
I'm a diabetic, overweight, and have a slight heart problem. I don't want to go anywhere tonight. Maybe Jakob wasn't happy about it. I was seen to break the window. I've never told Ragnar about what happened. Dan agreed to talk to Detective Matt Brown at the station. Hey, guys, it's not funny anymore. It goes without saying that he's the best person for the job. That doesn't sound like her. Maybe Jimmy tried too hard.
Can you tell me anything about what happened to Yvonne? I have a surprise for Sam. You shouldn't get married. Charles always takes the line of least resistance. I have nowhere else to go. Can I sleep at your place? There's never been a problem before. He doesn't have any problems at school. Angry at Leif Ericson for stealing his thunder 500 years before, Christopher Columbus once wrote a rigorous mathematical proof that showed how Ericson had never actually been to North America. Unfortunately, the proof was too difficult for even the brightest mathematicians to understand. I'm not the one looking for a girlfriend, Ahmet. Just don't let it ever happen again.
You're always nagging me. I'm afraid he is ill. Roy felt a pain in his side. Werner asked Emma not to discuss the matter with John. I've got a good idea. He's a very attractive man. This man's ramblings are the furthest from the truth I've ever heard! Our planet moves in space with the lightness of a bird in flight. She's very polite. It's really easy for me to speak Japanese.
Robbin doesn't have much energy today. Let them relax. She has a lot of gray hair. Please bring the matter forward at the next meeting. I guess most of them went home. Eliot walked down the dark hallway. I have to make lunch today. I saw a little girl who was sweet and happy. It's easy to get confused. The number of Facebook members is higher than the U.S. population.
The students demonstrated against the new government. He did not relish this simple family life. I was stunned when the bomb blew in front of me. He cheated in the exam when he copied his friend's work. We're a pretty good team. I was up almost all night. This is a product for men. The steamer wound in and out among the islands. What're you planning now? They should sue Milner.
Werner seemed calm. She hovers over that child like hen with one chicken. Do you have any group in WhatsApp? You deserve a salary hike. It's actually not that big a deal. Among the objects found in the handbag was the photo of a certain man. It will only take a moment to fill out this application. Cats don't like to get wet. We won't get to you until tomorrow. Dawn is very crafty, isn't he?
I came here to talk to Suyog. I'll go out there and look around. We ate surf and turf. She can touch her nose with her tongue. Jessie's long hair was completely wet. Candles will be provided. It is necessary that we see a doctor. Slartibartfast is twice as heavy as Sir. My parents have been married since before I was born. We don't know anything.
The old city is a popular tourist destination. Keith drank himself into a stupor when Brender walked out on him. If I remember correctly, Boston is beautiful this time of year. What went wrong? John talked with his customer on the phone. I am an Earthling. I've been hunting with them. My sister likes classical music no less than I do. I told you I'd be here by 2:30, remember? You are thirsty, do you want water?

COVID-19 Pandemic Worsens Disparities In Young Children's Development In Nepal
COVID-19 Pandemic Worsens Disparities in young children's development and learning in Nepal. One out of five children developmentally off track
NEW SPOTLIGHT ONLINE
Dec. 20, 2021, 11:11 a.m.
One out of five children between the ages of 2 to 4 years in Nepal is not developing on track amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, new data from UNICEF shows. The pandemic has especially affected the health, learning and psychosocial well-being of the children.
The Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) survey conducted in August showed that children from lower income families, living in rural areas, with caregivers with no or low levels of education, and not attending early childhood education (ECE) programs were at higher risk of being developmentally off track. Even among children who attended ECE, those who attended government ECE were at higher risk of being developmentally off track compared to those who attended private programs. ECDI survey is a phone-based survey conducted among nationally representative sample of 2,853 households with children to understand the development needs and status of young children aged 2 to 4 years.
Early stimulation activities with care givers like reading books, telling stories, singing songs, going outside, naming objects, counting, or drawing things were found to be important for young children's development and learning. However, the data alarmingly revealed a plunge in parental engagement compared to pre-pandemic conditions. Under the dynamic situation and especially in the time when people's lives were affected by loosening of the prohibitory orders in August 2021, only 31 per cent of children received early stimulation at home by family members compared to 73 per cent in 2019. With follow up survey in October, it was found that mothers' engagement improved over time as they got over the hectic time of returning to the normal from the strict prohibitory order. However, fathers' engagement remained low (6 per cent), maintaining a frequent social norm of fathers' reduced involvement in parenting.
Half of the surveyed children were found to be enrolled in pre-primary level. However, during school closure, 34 per cent of children did not engage in learning through alternative learning modalities at all. Most of the children accessed home tuition, while alternative learning modalities specified by the government's Emergency Action Plan (e.g., online class, mobile teacher, radio, TV, tele-teaching) were underused. Low-tech solutions, such as educational radio and TV and tele-teaching were almost unused. High-tech solutions like online class were used almost exclusively among children who attended private ECE. Underused low-tech solutions and unequal access to high-tech solutions might have contributed to the developmental gap observed between children who attended private ECE and other children. The details of the study can be found here.
Based on the results of the survey and to ensure that all children realize their development potentials and be ready for further learning, UNICEF calls upon government, development partners, teachers, parents and other stakeholders to:
Target children who are at higher risk of becoming developmentally off track through effective interventions for remedial learning. Special attention needs to be paid to children from lower income families, living in rural areas, with caregivers with no or low levels of education, and not attending ECE or attending government ECE programs.
Develop systems to support teachers and parents to understand each child's individual development and learning level through user-friendly assessments and teaching-learning guidelines to enable learning at home and school.
Utilize the alternative learning modalities specified in the National Emergency Action Plan in times of school closures. Data show the effectiveness of these learning modalities but also reveals that they were underused by the families.
Strengthen parenting education, with focus on fathers' engagement, starting from conception phase through multi-sectoral collaboration so that parents and caregivers receive continuous encouragement and guidance to support children's learning at home.
Enhance early stimulation activities by parents such as reading child-friendly books, telling stories, singing songs, taking children outside, playing with them, naming objects, counting, or drawing things together.

Air Warrior is the simulation that has given many would-be virtual pilots their first taste of what its like to fly against another person instead of an AI-controlled enemy aircraft. It's the Doom of flight sims, essentially, so it's quite an interesting entry as far as 90s flight games.
Air Warrior II has a bit of a different focus. This version of the sim is an all-new stand-alone single-player product, which also acts as a gateway to the now defunct online multiplayer component. This simulation looks a little different from the Air Warrior I. Don't jump into the cockpit and expect mind-blowing photo-realistic sights and miles of rolling terrain, but do expect sharp and crisp SVGA graphics that serve their purpose well. Those who remember playing Air Warrior will remember the limited-view cockpit, with the border around the edge with gauges and dials.
The stand-alone portion of Air Warrior II was supposed to offer around 75 missions in the beginning, but the final product notched that up to 300 missions. The only catch is that you can only play these missions in singleplayer. It's a fairly good sim, all things considered. The variety of missions offered makes the sim unlike most others. You can choose from four different theaters of operation, spanning World War I to the Korean War. Because of the large time span, you can fly a large number of planes in each war zone.
Europe gives you the choice of flying for Germany or the Allies – Fokker Dr1, DVII, Sopwith Camel, Spad XIII and the Brisfit F2B are all available. World War II offers two different theaters with Pacific and Europe as the hot spots. In the Pacific theater, flying the Axis side, you can fly the A6M5 Zero, C-47 Gooney Bird, G4M2 Betty, K-I84 Frank and the N1K1 George. On the Allied side, you can fly even more aircraft! Jump into an A-26B Invader, B-17G Flying Fortress, B-25J Mitchell, C-47 Gooney Bird, F4F-3 Wildcat, F4U-1 Corsair, F6F-3 Hellcat, Hawker Hurricane I, Hawker Hurricane IIb, Mosquito Mk XVI, P-38J Lightning, P-40E Kittyhawk, P-47D Jug, P-51D Mustang, Spitfire MkI, Spitfire MkV, Spitfire Mk IX and the TFB Avenger!
In the European theater of operations, the Axis can fly the Bf109E-3 Emil, Bf109F-4 Franz, Bf109G-2 Gustav, Bf109K-4, Focke Wulf 190A3, & the 190A4, 190AB, 190D9 models, Junkers Ju87B & the JU88A4 model, Me110, Me262 Sturmvogel. On the other side of the coin, if you choose to fly for the Allies, you can choose the A-26B Invader, B-17G Flying Fortress, C-47 Gooney Bird, Hawker Hurricane I, Hawker Hurricane IIb, IL2m3 Shturmovik, Lavochkin La5-FN, Mosquito Mk XVI, P-38J Lightning, P-47D Jug, P-51D Mustang, Spitfire Mk I & the Mk V & MkIX models, and last but not least, the Yak-9D.
Jet jocks may find this last theater of operations interesting, because while this is mainly a prop simulation modeling the characteristics of each prop-driven aircraft, Air Warrior II also offers two of the earliest jets in the Korean theater. On the UN side, you can fly an A-26B Invader, C-47 Gooney Bird, F4U-1 Corsair, P51-D Mustang, and the North American F-86F Sabre. On the North Korean side, you can jump into a C-47 Gooney Bird, IL2m3 Shturmovik, Yak-9D or the Mig-15!
As you can see, there are loads of aircraft to choose from, and what makes AWII even better is that it realistically models them all. Not only will you find cockpits and sounds unique to each aircraft, but you'll find that each sport the flight characteristics of their real-life counterparts as well, which you can adjust through three realism levels – novice, ace or veteran. This large number of options, missions and aircraft, as well as the trademark multiplayer that characterized the series, makes Air Warrior II a great entry into the genre despite the lackluster graphics.


That's the key takeaway from an exploratory study released Thursday by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), a Washington, D.C., think-tank.
Entitled, "Equal Treatment? Measuring the Legal and Media Responses to Ideologically Motivated Violence in the United States," the study was based on 2002 through 2015 data extracted from the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Lone Wolf" report, University of Maryland START Center's Global Terrorism Database and The Intercept's "Trial and Terror" project.
ISPU's study found that media coverage of suspects perceived to be Muslim and accused of successfully carrying out a terrorist attack received on average more than twice the attention of their perceived non-Muslim counterparts. When it came to coverage of plots that were not carried out, perceived Muslim suspects were given 770 percent more media coverage.
The report points to similar impacts upon legal processes and outcomes. According to its findings, suspects perceived to be Muslim were on average charged with sentences that were 302 percent longer than their perceived non-Muslim counterparts (230 months versus 76 months). The actual conviction outcomes revealed similar disparities: perceived Muslim suspects were given an average sentence of 398 percent longer than their perceived non-Muslim counterparts (211 months versus 53 months).
The authors' use of the term "perceived" when describing suspects was a deliberate analytic decision, which refers to how law enforcement and media — not the ISPU researchers — described the backgrounds of the alleged perpetrators.
ISPU's researchers examined five different factors across their data to create as much of an "apples to apples" comparison as possible between perceived Muslim and non-Muslim cases. These factors were the numbers of fatalities, the types of weapons used (e.g. explosives, firearms, etc.), intended outcome, target of incident and existence of any co-perpetrators.
On the whole, ISPU's exploratory study represents a modest yet extremely important, evidence-based step toward a more informed conversation on public safety, bias and justice. Their study examined 52 randomly-selected cases of ideologically motivated violence between 2002 and 2015, based on coverage by The New York Times and Washington Post.
Its timespan does not include more recent high-profile incidents such as the ISIS-inspired 2016 shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and the 2017 white supremacist car-ramming attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, that killed Heather Heyer and wounded 19 others.
Still, their work builds upon the insights of other emerging scientific investigations, such as a forthcoming peer-reviewed study by a trio of researchers from the University of Alabama and Georgia State University who found that terrorist attacks by Muslim suspects "received, on average, 357% more coverage than other attacks" by non-Muslim suspects. That study also controlled for several factors including fatalities and attack targets.
In speaking to Hatewatch, study co-author Carey Shankman noted that "media and legal systems don't operate in vacuums" and ISPU's study is unique in the sense that it looks at both systems in tandem to each other, rather than separately.
Cognizant of the study's exploratory and descriptive nature, the researchers declined to offer concrete policy recommendations.
For them, revealing the very existence of legal and media disparities when it comes to acts of ideologically motivated violence is an important first step toward advancing national conversations on public safety and equal justice under the law. "What we are pointing out is that when you have equal conduct, you expect there to be equal treatment," Shankman said.
Since 9/11 government policy had explicitly prioritized combating movements claiming to act in the name of Islam. Even with intelligence assessments predicting the renewal of a violent U.S. far-right movement post-Obama election, policymakers continued to view Al-Qaeda and its associated actors "as the preeminent security threats to our country." Policymakers took this position despite empirical evidence challenging the assumptions behind this premise, including frequency of plots and attacks, as well as ample evidence of far-right intent and capability to cause mass casualties.
The report's findings come at a time when the far-right movement in the United States is robust and resurgent, and often resorts to violence. Policymakers and the public at large are debating the best way to effectively address various forms of ideologically motivated violence. In 2017, it was reported that the Trump administration had considered the idea of changing federal efforts from Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) to "Countering Islamic Extremism." That same year, it also rescinded a CVE funding award to Life After Hate, a civic organization dedicated to helping individuals leave racist far-right groups.


"666", the new video from Greek extreme metal veterans ROTTING CHRIST, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's eleventh full-length studio album, "Kata Ton Demona Eaftou", which was released on March 5 (four days earlier in Europe) via Season Of Mist. The band spent more than four months at Deva Soundz studios in Athens crafting what it says "may be its darkest and more mystical and occult outcome ever." The CD was mixed by Jens Borgen (AMON AMARTH, PARADISE LOST,KATATONIA, OPETH) at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden.
The album was made available as jewel case CD, double gatefold LP and limited-edition digibox, including a digipak CD with bonus track "Welcome To Hel", a pendant in velvet bag and a flag.

Go the Distance-With Him
by Scott Whitaker | Feb 16, 2015 | Thoughts | 0 comments
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return."
II Timothy 4: 7-8 (NLT)
"I have often dreamed of a far off place,
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me,
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face,
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to."
(Hercules—Walt Disney Pictures)
It happened a few years ago. I saw that Ellie Kate was silently gasping for air—choking on a cracker which had lodged in her windpipe—after she bumped her head on the floor in an unceremonious conclusion to an attempt to do a cartwheel off the footstool she had been sitting on.
A few whacks with the palm of my hand on Ellie's back while dangling her upside down from my arms dislodged the stuck cracker pieces, which led to the much-welcome sound of her crying into my shoulder.
I remember waiting anxiously throughout the early morning hours in an empty lobby of St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa for the news of Ellie Kate's birth.
Instead, the news which came was of a labored delivery and finally a Caesarean section resulting in our younger granddaughter being confined for five days in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at St Joseph's.
Maybe that's why today Ellie Kate does cartwheels off of footstools, scales the face of bookcases to sit on the top while the hard floor tile waits below, jumps from staircases into my arms. She's a survivor.
Maybe that's why she often refuses help, saying instead "I can do it."
But that day of the cartwheel she wasn't able to do it. She came up short. Way short.
She has before, but then I'm sure we can all identity with similar moments in our lives of coming up short. The key for all of us is—our response to those times. The key is an appreciation of our part in the bigger picture which God has painted in all of that, for all of us to embrace and understand.
The bigger picture of the life that God created us to live is a call on our lives to live, to try, to reach out, and to become all that we can be. It's a call to adventure, not to comfort. It's a call to be all you were created to be. It's a call to go the distance. It's a call for now and on into eternity.
And we can't do it unless we begin to step out into areas and arenas we may have never been in before. And it is there, in those moments that we will have the chance to succeed, and we will also have the chance to fail. But we will have had the opportunity to be all we can be.
The story of our lives is an adventure and challenge before us—to go the distance.
So what holds us back? What obstacles in our life are keeping us from stepping out, trying a cartwheel, and going the distance? Doubt. Uncertainty. Fear.
Of course we may fail. That certainly may happen. But it may not.
Sometimes it's our attitude that stands in our way, or some other things we need to change. Perhaps it's the view we have of our potential—those gifts, abilities and talents we have like no one else. Maybe we need to do a better job of seeing the future God sees for us, and claiming a positive view for our future as a part of the bigger story God has written of which each of us is a part.
And God is standing in front of us with His hand extended, and with all the power of Creation pointing into the future—your future—calling you to go with Him; to go the distance, to fight the good fight with Him to the finish.
And what better way to be able to look back and say but that—
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,
and I have remained faithful."
The next step for you to go the distance is in front of you. And so is He.
Step into your future with Him.
