Popular Struggle Coordination Committee (PSCC)
The Popular Struggle Coordination Committee (PSCC) is the coordinating body of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRCs) in the West bank that was established to "consolidate the work of the PRCs and popularize their experiences across the West Bank." According to a report co-authored by PSCC and Birzeit University, PRCs are independent village-based groups "which coordinate unarmed resistance activities against Israel's colonization."
PRCs should not be confused with the terrorist organization Popular Resistance Committees.
https://www.facebook.com/PopularStruggle
"Popular committees present a unique form of community based organizing and resistance in the tradition of the first Palestinian Intifada. These diverse, non-partisan committees lead community resistance to Israeli occupation in various forms, such as marches, strikes, demonstrations, direct actions and legal campaigns, as well as supporting boycott, divestment and sanctions."
Has received funding from France (French Consulate in Jerusalem), Germany (BMZ), Spain (AECID), the United Nations Development Program, as well as from various European Union funding mechanisms, including the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI), European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR), and the Partnership for Peace Programme (PfP).
In 2015, PSCC and Comet-ME received €75,000 from the French Consulate in Jerusalem, via the Social Fund for Development (FSD), for a project in Hebron assisting vulnerable families with basic infrastructure installation.
In 2013, PSCC, Coalition of Women for Peace (CWP), and NOVA, a radical Spanish political NGO, received a joint grant of €355,130 from the EU's Partnership for Peace (PfP) for a project titled "Addressing fear: strengthening the nonviolent alternative."
Following NGO Monitor publications and communication with the EU regarding violence at PSCC demonstrations (see below), the subsequent PfP Call for Proposals of 2014 warned that "All actions should assess whether they may directly or indirectly lead to violence, even if they have been established for non-violent purposes" (emphasis added).
Moreover, funding to CWP and the PSCC was discontinued in the consecutive funding cycle.
Since 2013, PSCC, alongside the Center for Freedom and Justice, Coalition of Women for Peace (CWP), and Youth Against Settlements (YAS), have participated in a project run by the German NGO KURVE Wustrow in the West Bank titled "Strengthening Nonviolent Initiatives," as part of a German federal government program, Civil Peace Service (CPS), funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Due to non-transparency, further information on funding for PSCC could not be found. (See chart below for partial funding amounts from 2011-2015.)
PSCC does not have a functioning website. However, an entry on the Mondoweiss website states that PSCC "present[s] a unique form of community based organizing and resistance in the tradition of the first Palestinian Intifada."
PSCC uses apartheid rhetoric when referring to Israel. It refers to the anti-terror separation barrier as the "Apartheid Wall" and to highway 443 as the "Apartheid Road."
In 2014, PSCC signed on a call to open the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt asking that "we bring an end to the Egyptian government's complicity in Israel's genocide of the people of Gaza."
Despite its proclaimed nonviolent agenda, NGO Monitor research has uncovered evidence of violent PSCC activities.
In February 2017, the Spanish NGO Novact invited PSCC general director Munther Amira and board member Manal Tamimi to participate in a conference titled "Towards a new paradigm: Preventing Violent Extremism," funded by the Spanish regional government of Catalonia as well as the EU.
Violent Demonstrations
PSCC calls for resistance to the Israeli occupation through "marches, strikes, demonstrations, direct actions and legal campaigns."
While PSCC has been granted money in order to strengthen "the non-violent alternative," PSCC has organized protests that have turned violent. Footage of PSCC protests in Hebron, Kfer Qaddum, Nilin, Nabi Saleh, and Beituniya shows protestors hurling rocks, throwing sharp objects, trying to destroy the security barrier, and arson.
Simultaneous to these violent protests, PSCC received funding from Spain for projects titled "Promotion of peace building strategies and protection of Human Right Defenders in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory" and "Addressing fear: Strengthening the nonviolent alternative in the Palestinian Territory. Establishment of a Conflict Early Warning Response System."
PSCC's Twitter activity (December 2015 and onward) repeatedly employs "martyr" rhetoric and boasts photos of demonstrators hurling rocks. An invitation to an event tweeted by PSCC on December 20, 2015 features the hand of a demonstrator full of rocks. (See below for screenshots.)
In response to a violent demonstration organized by Munther Amira in Bethlehem in December 2016, he told Israeli media outlet Ynet: "we are here to protest and say that the occupation and terror are two sides of the same coin. We want to tell the world that Palestinians are facing organized terror. We will continue to cope in order to fight against the Nazi occupation" (NGO Monitor translation from the original Hebrew).
Manal Tamimi has endorsed terrorism and violence several times on her Twitter account. In August 2015, Tamimi tweeted,
Screenshot, https://twitter.com/screamingtamimi/status/674358733313478656
In September 2015, on Yom Kippur (a fast day and the holiest day of the year in the Jewish calendar), Tamimi tweeted:
In November 2015, Tamimi tweeted a highly disturbing cartoon, utilizing classical antsemitic imagery.
PSCC regularly promotes Palestinian BDS campaigns and activities on its website and is a member of the BDS National Committee.
In 2016, organized a BDS demonstration by the "Apartheid Wall," stating that "the Palestinian youths will continue their struggle against the occupation whether through BDS or any form of popular resistance, and will continue despite Israeli aggression which includes intensified killing, executions, demolitions and kidnappings to thwart the resistance."
In 2015 posted a video through the organization "Make Apartheid History," titled "AIDA Refugee Camp," about a graffiti project in Aida refugee camp, and presented "graffiti that coincided with the Israeli products boycott campaign that called on refugee camps to boycott the Israeli occupation products."
On July 19, 2015, posted on its twitter a letter written by residents of the Palestinian village of Sussiya who called on the European Union to "suspend the Europe's trade agreements with Israel as well as end trade with companies operating in settlements on occupied territories until Israel fulfills its obligations under international law."
In 2014, PSCC launched the "'Melh Al-Ard' Campaign by Reviving Ein Hijleh Village in the Jordan Valley," calling "upon our friends and international solidarity groups to stand with the demands of the Palestinian people and boycott all Israeli companies including Israeli factories and companies that work in the Jordan Valley and profit from Palestinian natural resources."

You tell me that you're scared that you're turning into your mother. I feel myself turn into my father. And I could tell you that you're all I've ever wanted, dear I could utter every word you'd ever hope to hear. I shudder when I think that I might not be here..

Q: Checking to see where a function was called in Java I'm working on some software that reads from a file system using a specific inputstream reader. This class has a function called read() which is used in some driver program to read files. I want to find out the location/source file for the driver program. If I only know where read() is implemented how can I find where it is used?

A: You can run this command on the top-level directory of the project to find where read() is used:
grep -n --recursive " read(" *

This will recursively search all the files for the string " read(" and print out which file it is in, as well as the line number.
Unfortunately, knowing where read() is implemented won't directly tell you where it is used.  The implementation of a method is not dependent on where it is used, that's the other way around.  If it were dependent, every single library in the Javadocs would have information about all the obscure programs that used such a library.

A: Assuming you can modify read() you might get a stack trace. Either throw an unchecked exception or do something like
StackTraceElement[] st = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(st));

UNDER pressure Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen has insisted that he does not fear for his job – even though the experienced Alan Curbishley is waiting in the wings at Craven Cottage as Technical Director.
Fulham take on League 1 Sheffield United in their FA Cup fourth round replay tomorrow night at Craven Cottage after having won only one of their last seven games and rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
But Meulensteen said: "I do not feel my job is under threat at all. I don't lose an night's sleep over that. There are maybe 16 Premier League managers under threat. That's how football works.
"It could be Chris Hughton or Alan Pardew. It's the mechanism of the industry. It doesn't worry me at all.
"I know I have the full confidence of the owner, 100 per cent. But more importantly I have the full confidence of the playing squad."
The former Manchester United no2 admitted he still talks to Sir Alex Ferguson, and asks him for advice, and he said: "I've spoken to him, on and off. Sometimes he rings me and sometimes I ring him. He's always a phone call away.


Happened on the third d in a matter of months. Swapping left front sphere and really tight. Throws lhm everywhere as I get it undone which is a devil of a job. Have done all the normal things like setting the car on low and releasing the pressure at the accumulator. Suggestions?
On the odd occasion when this has happened with me, slipping a trolley jack under the jacking point on the offending side and lifting and lowering the car a few times has released the pressure - I'm sure someone will have an explanation as to why. . .
Because Citroen. I recall that it can also be a sign of worn or non-existent bump stops.
Greenblood's suggestion is the best known one.
The fallback is to slacken a suspension cylinder pipe union just enough to release the residual pressure, catching the LHM in a rag. Last time I had to do this was with a pair of dead flat front spheres. There wasn't very much LHM lost. I tried the jack trick to no avail in that case.
Oh another thing. Pump the break button a bit and wiggle the steering side to side - half turn each way.
Oh dear God no. Not UFO. "Pump the break button"?
its easy to get the shits fixing cits and making typos.
Armidillo, XM Mechanic, jaahn and 1 others like this.
What was that 2/ option again? We're not talking car aerials again are we - I thought the little tiny ones were only on modern cars .
Until it is broken perhaps?

Friend-to-Friend outreach technologies: Harnessing the Power of Behavioral Science and Personal Connection
VoteTripling.org
VoterCircle.com
"This race is about people versus money: They've got money, we've got people." — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The media and others sometimes measure a candidate's capacity to win an election by focusing on the size of the candidate's "war chest." But recently, some candidates with big "war chests" have been beaten by candidates who have less money but stronger voter networks. So a candidate who can build a strong voter network need not necessarily fear a candidate with a bigger "war chest." Indeed, a candidate may, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did, turn the issue into a powerful campaign slogan and battle cry: "This race is about people versus money: They've got money, we've got people."
Candidates who make "money in politics" a campaign issue have some advantages: (1) voters already believe that money corrupts our political system; and (2) candidates who make "money in politics" a campaign issue may find that voters are more willing to engage and help them get elected — and, thereby, enhance the candidate's network.
Studies have shown that canvassing is the most effective persuasion technique available to a candidate. But two new complementary Friend-to-Friend outreach technologies — technologies that harness the unique power of personal connections — have emerged:
These technologies — when used together and simultaneously with traditional canvassing — are potentially powerful enough to change the dynamics of a campaign by making informal voter networks more effective "influencers" than the advertising purchased with a large campaign "war chest." Such technologies work because they rely on behavioral science-based Principles of Persuasion, such as "Reciprocity," "Consistency," "Liking," and "Consensus."
The impact of these technologies may be enhanced if candidates encourage use of behavioral science-based wording in the Friend-to-Friend messages sent on their behalf — such as: "So many of our neighbors are voting and supporting this candidate — join them!"
Vote Tripling
Harness the Untapped Power of Non-Activists: VoteTripling.org: Because it is simple and low-ask, it is perhaps an ideal way to both engage and leverage the contacts of non-activists — and about 96% of voters are non-activists. VoteTripling.org is a 2-phase voter turnout tactic that nudges people to get three friends to vote.
Phase 1—Recruit: Ask supporter if you can count on them to hold 3 friends accountable to vote. As part of this ask, the "Vote Tripler" shares their cell phone number and the first names of the three friends they will urge to vote.
Phase 2—Remind: Before Election Day, the Vote Tripler receives a text message from the campaign thanking them for encouraging their friends to vote and reminding them of the names of the people they pledged to mobilize.
VoterCircle
VoterCircle.com is a relatively "higher-ask" relational organizing platform — because it asks the participant to become more involved in the campaign. However, VoterCircle is a powerful persuasion technology that comes with a privacy protection component — and it is well worth learning about both its outreach and privacy features. Candidates may want to explore the possibility of using both VoteTripling.org and VoterCircle.com — and then offering volunteers and voters the opportunity to participate in one or the other.
Particularly impressive are comments about VoterCircle.com published on its homepage — comments by the Founder/President of Emerge America, by the CEO of the DNC, and by Ro Khanna, now a Congressman.
But there's more. Dr. Lindsey Cormack, reporting on a study wrote: It is "not so much the medium, but the messenger that matters in driving turn out. In an increasingly technologically powered and impersonal world, the power of human connection still prevails." Dr. Cormack ends the study concluding: "For practitioners and campaigns the take away is quite clear — the reception of an email from a peer facilitated by the VoterCircle platform is associated with a significant increase in the likelihood that the recipient casts a ballot. For no demographic did a VoterCircle email lead to fewer votes, and instead it is quite impactful across many subgroups. In a reality where local elections turn on fewer voters, campaigns continue to rise in cost, and levels of voter trust erode, platforms such as VoterCircle may be a best bet. This method leverages peer-to-peer connections to inform voters, reduce costs for those running campaigns, and effectively increases voter participation."

"If the traders do well, we do well too"
Media companies operating at local level today are no longer offering only news, but extending their radius of action. The Nordkurier media group, together with the "Lokalfuchs" local traders initiative, has shown a pioneering spirit: The accompanying app, launched in early 2017, is used already by 225 retail traders in Neubrandenburg.
Project manager Claudia Schneider tells in an interview how Medienhaus Nordkurier, in cooperation with our exhibitor ppi as technology partner, succeeded in setting up the project as well as capturing and retaining the loyalty of traders.
Ms Schneider, what exactly is behind the Lokalfuchs Project?
Lokalfuchs is a business initiative aimed at strengthening local trade. The continuing growth of eCommerce is making life difficult for local businesses. As a media company with regional roots, we want to keep trade in the inner cities and thus naturally also strengthen the position of our customers. If our advertising customers are doing well, then we will also do well. We want to help ensure that people continue to buy locally.
Our approach does not consist of condemning eCommerce, but rather using it to link local offerings with an app, selling products online to local customers and getting them into the shops. Even small-scale traders can avail of this approach to boost their business. We focused initially on local trade, but then extended our scope to other sectors such as gastronomy, services and craft businesses. The campaign has been running successfully for two-and-a-half years in Neubrandenburg. We started out with a classical media package and since one year the accompanying app that we developed together with ppi has been available.
Why is that attractive for people in the region?
The retail customers also have an interest in seeing that their region remains lively and attractive. Buying becomes even simpler and more comfortable. I know what special offers are available in the city such as are not presented by the classical print media. I download the app, go downtown and discover which offerings the traders have for me today. Once inside the shop, I can see, check or test the product. By means of a simple scan I can then avail of the offering via a QR code.
How can traders become part of the business initiative?
We have tested several access methods. Firstly we approached retailers here in the region that we wanted to win back as customers. We got them to join the initiative by selling them classical media packages. But organisations such as public utility companies are typical "Lokalfüchse". Though we cannot approach them with such an introductory package, we were able to sign them up as partners with our company via a cooperation agreement. We reconsidered the criteria several times. It was a case of constantly monitoring how which approach influenced the level of acceptance. Our objective is to convince traders to abandon their existence as "lone wolves" and utilise the technical platform of our initiative.
How many traders have signed up to date or how did the level of response develop during the project?
The Nordkurier media group initiative started in autumn 2015 and has in the meantime attracted about 500 Lokalfuchs partners in the major regional centre, therefore in Neubrandenburg and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as well as in a smaller regional centre in Prenzlau in Berlin-Brandenburg. The app that we introduced in early 2017 is used by 225 retail traders for their offerings. The free-of-charge app has been downloaded 6000 times to date. The number of downloads jumped in summer 2017 as a result of the free, open access Lokalfuchs WLAN in the Neubrandenburg city centre, also an initiative of the Nordkurier media group with currently 20,000 registered and on average 1500 logged-on users daily.
Did all this take off by itself, or what was your experience during the course of the project?
We established that it is essential to take care of the customers at all times, as otherwise they quit the initiative. It is not enough to sell packages. Instead it is a matter of constantly keeping in contact with the traders, to network, and to offer events where they can meet up. The events offer an opportunity to share experiences and discuss matters of interest, e.g. "how do I protect myself from theft, how do I attract trainees, or how do I word my job ads?" Such added-value topics are important to ensure that it is not just an advertising initiative. Therefore what is needed is an ongoing campaign into which we incorporate the region's multipliers. Important are offerings that can be realised very easily for the traders and that they can simply latch on to. If these initiative are not forthcoming, the traders relatively quickly find other priorities in their daily business, which is how to bring their products to as many customers as possible.
And how do you make money with this?
To begin with, there are the media packages and the app that the traders book. But that is above all an initiative aimed at ensuring customer loyalty towards us in the medium and long-term – e.g. in relation to logistical services, so that we can also offer them dispatch and courier services. Our future aim is to incorporate the customers into eCommerce and as a partner dispatch their letters and packages. Seen in this light, besides a constant income from packages and events, this is above all an investment. But whoever looks after customer relations as a diligent media consultant will also generate turnover in other projects because he will repeatedly have a door-opener.
How did the cooperation with ppi come about?
We knew ppi as the technical provider of the location-based online service, thanks, that opened up new digital income sources to publishers through the integration of events and "push" messages. That matched our idea perfectly and the cooperation has proven successful. This was backed by the right communication and service, such as a map function, address management and the necessary interfaces.
To what extent can this model be applied to other publishing houses?
This is suitable naturally also for other media companies and, besides our technology partner ppi, we provide information on how to set about such a project. We give tips concerning the mistakes we made and that should not be repeated. In addition to project organisation and control, media companies must also, for example, review the internal communication at their own operation. It is important for editors, the logistics division and branch offices know the initiative and present it positively to the outside. We monitored these three cornerstones for a year and took corresponding measures where weaknesses became apparent.
Have other publishing companies become aware of the topic and developed their own projects?
Several have expressed interest in our concept. We offer the complete service, but it is also possible to incorporate individual service modules into a separate concept, e.g. telephone-based customer service. We provide support from planning to realisation. Ideally, we all get together in a workshop so that we obtain a better picture of the operation for which it is intended to develop the initiative.
Stefanie Hornung conducted the interview.
Meet ppi at the DCX Digital Content Expo from 9 to 11 October at Messe Berlin: on Stand B.05, Hall 21b.
Relaunch: With a new website on the final lap to the exhibition!
Notice anything? Exactly – we have relaunched our website. This makes us not only more "mobile", but also more "social".

Palm Sunday through Easter, is the pinnacle of the church year. While our consumer culture has embraced Christmas, the faithful stop for a holy week, to acknowledge Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, his struggle, death, and resurrection. We pray you will strengthen your own faith by taking this sacred week seriously and celebrating God's loving care by joining us in worship on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. The following is a description of what is in store for you throughout Holy Week at Westminster. Join us and experience God's wisdom, love, and care.
Traditionally, Palm Sunday is also recognized as Passion Sunday. This year Westminster had a very special Palm/Passion Sunday. Pastor Scott and Pastor Bill presented a Tenebrae play as an act of worship. The word "Tenebrae" means "shadows." The service depicted the events that led to the crucifixion. The shadows increase as the candles were extinguished, resulting in an encroaching darkness, symbolizing the flight of the Disciples and the approaching hour of the crucifixion. The events in the play were remembered and discussed in a dialogue between Simon Peter and Judas Iscariot.
Since the time of the Exodus, long ago, Jewish families have shared a special meal during the time of the Passover, each year. The Jewish Passover and the Christian Holy Week overlap in the time of year they are celebrated. As a church family, we will share a similar type of Passover meal together on Maundy Thursday. The congregation will be able to sample each element of the meal.
Many followers of Jesus are familiar with the Jewish Passover, which is the time when God sent the angel of death to "pass-over" Egypt, killing all the first-born children whose families did not brush blood over their door posts. However, not as many Christians have encountered the Passover's deep connection to our Christian past.
You are invited to join us in The Commons for the Maundy Thursday Service of Worship on April 18, at 7:00 p.m. This service is around tables, and we encourage children and youth to participate.
Some congregations have moved away from acknowledging this dark day, preferring to gloss things over on Palm Sunday with optional passion texts available from the common lectionary and move quickly to Easter Sunday. Perhaps this is done to avoid confronting the fact that suffering and death have a significant part in the story of Christ.
What does Good Friday mean to you? Can you live with the dichotomy of the crucifixion account, that is, knowing of your own mortality and holding on to the living power of hope?
I invite you to embrace the enveloping darkness of Christ's suffering and death on Good Friday, to wrap its cloak of repentance and humility around your shoulders and prepare yourself for the promises of Easter morning. And in doing so may you then understand how it is "good" in the story of your faith in Jesus Christ.
Pageantry, trumpets, flowers, Spring dresses, children in their finest and family gatherings surround worship at Easter. It is a celebration of new life and new hope. It encapsulates the mystery of God's salvific work in Jesus Christ through Jesus' death and resurrection.
The Eastern Orthodox Church emphasizes Jesus' triumph over death in the celebration of the resurrection. All of humanity, life itself had been bounded by the inescapability of death. Jesus came through death victorious, raised to new life. On Easter morning we greet one another in an exultant affirmation of this victory over death: Jesus is risen! He is risen indeed!
John Calvin and other Reformed theologians emphasized Jesus' atonement for our sins. In the great mystery of Jesus' death and resurrection our sins were forgiven. We were redeemed and reconciled with God. The mystery of atonement has been described in different ways throughout the history of the Church. Through the example of his moral life, by his payment of our ransom, by being the new perfect Adam, through his substitutionary sacrifice on our behalf, and by his victory over evil and violence, Jesus changed all of history, and changed us individually. On Easter we celebrate the cosmic power of the day of resurrection that forever opened the door for our at-one-ment with God.
We celebrate on Easter the new life that Jesus made possible for us. We appreciate our return to the vocation of Adam and Eve, to be gardeners tending to God's creation, bearing God's image and right rule wherever we go.
So, come and gather with us as we celebrate victory over death, our reconciliation with God and our new life partnering with God. As we gather with family in Spring dresses and fine clothes, with flowers and trumpets let us come into the Sanctuary and bring our triumphant worship and praise.
At the end of each worship service the choir invites people in the congregation to sing the Hallelujah chorus with them.
Over the past few years we have cultivated an annual tradition at Westminster of sharing the story of the resurrection through interactive stations at our Easter Story Celebration. We continue this tradition on Easter Sunday at 10:00 a.m. See the list below to learn about all the activities! This year, we will be adding a family photo area where families of any age can gather to have their photo taken. A 4"x6" print will be available for you to take home, but we will also send it to you via email. We hope you will consider inviting friends and family to enjoy this Easter Story Celebration. We look forward to seeing you there!
Move the stone that was placed in front of the tomb through an obstacle course.
Engage in a multi-sensory experience by walking through the tomb where Jesus was laid.
Experience a dazzling discovery as the children behold a wondrous sight and hear how the angel came to the women at the tomb when they found it empty.
Celebrate the full story of the resurrection and new life as it is told by youth volunteers in an interactive drama.
Celebrate new life with the presence of small creatures.
Easter Sunday isn't the end of the celebration. Westminster's traditional Sunday-after-Easter Jazz service continues this Eastertide celebration. Jazz Sunday, April 28, will feature the much-loved music of the Big Band era! This year, Karla Killinger will bring back musicians and music from her father's Big Band and will also include some of our talented church musicians.
Karla is a third-generation music educator, and is the daughter of the late Karl Killinger, the renowned bandmaster and teacher. After WW II, Karl started a dance band and, along with his brother Keith and sister Wanda, the Killingers provided dance bands and show bands throughout the United States and Canada from the 1940's – 1990's. Karl and his wife, Evelyn, were Westminster members for over 50 years.
Having played in her father's dance, show & circus bands, Karla has a passion for sharing the music of the Killinger library. So whether you stream Big Band music on your phone, or remember it playing on your grandparents' phonograph, you will enjoy the upbeat music played by uniquely talented musicians. Jazz Sunday is part of the Westminster Fine Arts' Series. Learn more about the Fine Arts Series at westpres.org/finearts. Come, attend this toe-taping service of worship. You will not be disappointed.
The fruit is a symbol of the offering the Israelites were told to make to God as they entered the promised land to remind them that everything they have was from God.
Covenant - The dove is a symbol of baptism. St. Patrick recognized God's covenant to carry him through his challenges of Evangelizing to the Irish people.
The Apostle Paul helps us partake of spiritual food and drink to bring us closer to God.
Trust – The Israelites trusted God to provide mana in the wilderness. Apostle Paul calls the new Christians to Trust God which will give them the ability to accomplish all things.


ABSTRACT: The polycondensation reaction of p-aminobenzoic acid with the reagent of triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane was investigated in order to establish the optimum reaction conditions for direct polycondensation. Reaction conditions, such as the molar ratios of triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane to the monomer, the concentrations of monomer and reagents, the reaction temperature and the kinds of acid acceptor and solvent, had considerable influence on the yield and the molecular weight of the resulting polyamide. The poly(p-benzamide) having the highest molecular weight was obtained with the molar ratio of triphenylphosphine–hexachloroethane–monomer=1.2 : 1.5 : 1.0 in the mixed solvent of tetramethylurea and pyridine at room temperature.

Claiming Emma
We love our Famous Unitarian Universalist Lists, don't we? Alcott, Dickens, Potter, Revere all have United States postage stamps, and that can feel like a stamp of approval.
Stefan Jonasson says on his personal blog: "Emma Watson set Unitarian Universalist hearts aflutter with hope and speculation (a couple months ago) when she came out as a Universalist, leaving people to wonder whether she had been quietly lingering in one of our congregations. Goodness knows, we like to imprint the names of famous Unitarian Universalists on our t-shirts — perhaps even tattoo them on our torsos, if we're into that sort of thing — so I braced myself for a new wave of name-dropping and celebrity admiration in our congregations.
"Now perhaps you've been living in a bubble on the edge of the known universe and have no idea who I'm talking about. Emma Watson is the gifted young actress who came to fame as the character Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. As Hermione, she was the smartest character in both the books and the movies who wasn't actually on the faculty of Hogwarts Academy — and she seems equally intelligent, thoughtful and charming in real life.
"Interviewed before the release of the movie Noah, in which she portrays Noah's adopted daughter, Emma Watson said, "I already, before I did the movie, had a sense that I was someone that was more spiritual, than specifically religious." She then continued, "I had a sense that I believed in a higher power, but that I was more of a Universalist, I see that there are these unifying tenets between so many religions.
"Well, as it happens, these sentiments are commonly found in Unitarian Universalist congregations — and the sense that there are values that cross the traditional boundaries of religion, values that we might call universals, is strong among us. So strong, in fact, that many people today mistakenly imagine that that was what Universalism was always about. But as it turns out, that notion of universalism is a later development that emerged as an earlier understanding of Universalism — one that was concerned with the Christian doctrine of salvation, but little concerned with other religions at all — grew and prospered and, for all intents and purposes, won the argument … and therefore came to dominate most of the mainline and liberal churches, whether they called themselves Universalist or not. If you want to find an old-line Universalist today, you're more likely to come across them in the United Church of Canada or an Anglican parish — or even a Lutheran congregation. But there was a day when an accusation of Universalism could have caused a scandal in any of these churches."
So what if we claimed Emma as a sibling in faith? This was discussed at some length on some of the UU Facebook laboratory groups like the UU Social Media Lab, UU Bloggers Workshop, and UU Growth Lab. Many felt that the approach to claiming someone as Unitarian Universalist when they public espouse universalist spirituality or identify as universalist is a misappropriation. It is a violation of religious freedom, a violation of the claimed individual's religious freedom to do so. One lab member said, "It is worse than offensive to say that someone was a UU but didn't know it."
What is that urge to claim about? Another lab member said, "I think it's basically an attempt to aggrandize and justify ourselves by identifying ourselves with well-known people, as if to share in their reflected glory… It's one manifestation of a regrettable attitude of self-celebration and self-congratulation that I think is too present in much of UU culture. I think it both inhibits our personal spiritual growth and makes us look shallow and self-absorbed to outsiders." Ouch. And yes. I wonder where might be better find an authentic source of self esteem?
Stefan is less harsh on us as a people, and chalks it up to the human craving to reassure ourselves that we are not such a peculiar religious minority after all. We often undermine ourselves by getting caught up in esoteric history. Again, Stefan:
"Historic Universalism is misrepresented when those who study our history superficially—even our ministers and scholars—then manufacture a revisionist story based largely on wild speculations emanating from reading the dictionary definition of Universalism with a few pithy anecdotes added for texture. We are then too often left with a story that is divorced from history and mostly sentimental in nature, while missing the core teachings of our Universalist heritage: (1) that whatever else God may be or not be, God is love — and that even if we reject belief in God at all, we can still believe in the power of love; (2) that no individual or tradition possesses the whole truth, but that each grasps a piece of what is true, perhaps several such pieces; (3) that all people are somehow sacred, whether we call this an inner divinity or simply human dignity; (4) and that the same fate—whatever it may be—awaits us all."
There are a number of celebrities articulating core universalist teachings (Pharrel Williams and Emma Watson), but I'm not adding them to our ranks until they claim us. And they probably won't in the near future, if at all. However, I take this as a healthy indication there is a powerful universalism bubbling up in the greater culture – a reminder that out faith lives so much larger than self-identified-UUs or the walls of our institutions. The work of our tradition/ our people is to be in relevant, authentic relationship with the rising up of universalism.
Where do you see universalism rising up in your wider community? How could you/we be in a more dynamic relationship with universalism?
Rev. Tandi Rogers is starting a campaign to invite Pharrel Williams to be a future Ware Lecturer. She doesn't want to claim him so much as partner with him and continue to be inspired. He makes her happy.

Okay, this is so cool. I posted on Dave Schmitz the other day. He is going to offer resistance bands that can be stretched up to 5 yards, which opens up a lot more exercises you can do, and you don't have to link bands together anymore. If you have never experienced resistance bands, you will be quite surprised the first time that you do. Most people are flabbergasted that a simple rubberband kicked their tails.


Second, cardholder information must be protected wherever it is stored. Repositories with vital data such as dates of birth, mothers' maiden names, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and mailing addresses should be secure against hacking. When cardholder data is transmitted through public networks, that data must be encrypted in an effective way. Digital encryption is important in all forms of credit-card transactions, but particularly in e-commerce conducted on the Internet.
Third, systems should be protected against the activities of malicious hackers by using frequently updated anti-virus software, anti-spyware programs, and other anti-malwaresolutions. All applications should be free of bugs and vulnerabilities that might open the door to exploits in which cardholder data could be stolen or altered. Patches offered by software and operating system (OS) vendors should be regularly installed to ensure the highest possible level of vulnerability management.
Any organization that handles payment cards, including debit and credit cards, must meet the 12 requirements directly or through a compensating control. However, compensating controls are not always allowed and must be approved on a case-by-case basis by a PCI QSA. Failure to meet the PCI DSS 12 requirements may result in fines or terminationof credit card processing privileges.

Take the freeway or side streets?
Your car or your spouse's?
No one route is better than the other. It all depends on the specifics of the destination and what works best for you.
Pay attention to the details or brainstorm a big, new, fancy idea?
Focus on the results I need or listen to what my coworker is struggling with?
Be enthusiastic about a success or keep my emotions in check?
Which one you choose depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what comes most naturally to you. Just like the trip to your parents', the path to results is different for everyone. We all have unique skills, strengths and talents – the trick is just figuring out how to use them in a way that gives us energy AND churns out the outcomes we're looking for.
Recently, I was debriefing a client on her Strengthscope report and she noticed that Relationship Building wasn't one of her main strengths. As someone whose job it is to work with lots of different people across the organization to get things done, she was understandably concerned by this!
It didn't take long for her to start asking questions.
Even though I knew she was worried, I smiled as she asked each of these questions in turn. After all, I've faced the same ones.
I'm not X, so I could never be a salesperson.
I'm not good at Y, so I'll never get the promotion.
My boss only needs me to do Z, so I guess I'll just never be excited about my work.
For me, it has to do with my strengths around detail orientation (which I'm off the charts in for my Strengthscope report). I'm your typical Type A, buttoned-up perfectionist. So when it comes to strategic planning, I've struggled at times.
Yep…I've heard all of these before.
The path is not the same as the outcome.
Just like the trip to your parents' house, there are many ways to get to the result you want. In this example, my client didn't have Relationship Building as a specific strength on her assessment. But you know what she did have? Developing Others. Empathy. Compassion.
I was able to (accurately) guess that she doesn't enjoy building relationships just for the sake of it. You know what does give her energy? Helping others get better. Looking at a situation through the eyes of someone else. Genuinely caring about the well-being of others.
The result? She is able to use those strengths to build great relationships.
In the same vein, I don't like strategic planning just for the sake of creating strategy. But another strength I have? Results Focus. I can go through a planning session and focus on what the ultimate goal and results I want to achieve are. The outcome? I develop a strategy.
What strengths do I have that can help me get there?
If you're a salesperson trying to get a customer to buy your product, consider the strengths you have to make that sale: Persuasiveness? Relationship building? Critical thinking?
If you're an administrative assistant trying to help your boss, what energizes you to get the work done? Detail orientation? Common sense? Developing others?
All of these strengths are different (and you might even have a combination of several of them!), but each and every single one of them can help you get to your desired outcome.
You just have to find the way that's most effective (and fulfilling) for you.


Hi, I am currently 17 years old and I have to choose what I will study in university next year. I would like to study mathematics and eventually do my doctorate and become some kind of researcher/teacher on the university. But I was wondering now if there's a lot being researched by mathematicians. I assume a lot of people are working on, for example, the Riemann hypothesis, but are there enough non-famous problems/ things to be researched?
Anyone with experience that could give me some extra information about this? I'm hesitating whether I should study maths or not, so any information is welcome.

I'm 43 years old and I only graduated High School. Here's how I look at it.
Mathematics is like ballet. All the moves have been invented. You only have to put them together in a choreography.
Or Wrestling (WWE). All the moves have been invented, you just have to put it together. Same with real fighting, martial arts (UFC).
Or musical instruments. All have been invented. You CAN invent a new musical instrument, mechanical or electronic, but that's a slim chance, and it probably won't catch on. With music, the art is in creating a "composition".
That's why I like Geometry. It is an art in what you can compose. Like M. C. Escher.
Here's my greatest composition. It took 25 years to figure it out.


Still, self-motivated, very independent travelers go to Papua New Guinea and have a grand time. There may be no better place on earth to go to experience nature the way nature used to be; PNG is one of the most megadiverse of the world's few remaining megadiverse countries.
If you want to forge relatively uncharted territory, go into the Papua New Guinean interior. There are almost certainly species of animals and varieties plants no one but indigenous Papua New Guineans have ever seen; there are also still potentially "uncontacted" tribes living in complete isolation. (See a video of members of PNG's Toulambi tribe meeting a "white man" for the first time. Or, is the video fake, or at the least disingenuous? Whatever the case, there are many nuances to what is happening here.) If you want to experience the Papuan interior but would prefer it come to you, book your travel to coincide with a "singsing," a celebration of traditional song and dance (learn about singsings below).
One of the best ways to decide if you want to go to Papua New Guinea is to read accounts by travelers who have gone there and decide if you'd like to do some of the same. This account by American Clark Scott tells the tale of his trip to PNG that included some time in Port Moresby, a slow motorboat tour of the Sepik River, a visit to the Huli Wigmen, the Tumbuna Sing Sing and a few second-hand run-ins with PNG's legendary lawlessness. For his BBC/HumanPlanet blog photographer Timothy Allen traveled to PNG and seemed to have a grand time (Allen in the forest | Allen at a singsing). For the even more adventurous, maybe a trek along the Black Cat Trail sounds like fun. Do you mind leeches and snakes?


LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 11, 2015--Station Casinos LLC ("Station", "we" or the "Company") today announced the results of its operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Net revenues increased 5.0% and Adjusted EBITDAM increased 10.1% compared to the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDAM margin increased 160 basis points to 34.0% compared to the prior year period.
Ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year net revenue growth and seventeenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year Adjusted EBITDAM growth.
Net revenues at our Las Vegas properties increased 4.0% and Las Vegas Adjusted EBITDAM increased 7.1% compared to the prior year period.
Native American management fees contributed $14.4 million to Adjusted EBITDAM, an increase of 33% compared to the prior year period.
The Company's consolidated net revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $337.8 million, an increase of $16.1 million, or 5.0%, compared to the prior year period. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAM for the quarter increased $10.5 million, or 10.1%, to $114.9 million compared to the prior year period, and Adjusted EBITDAM margin increased 160 basis points to 34.0%. Our Las Vegas properties recorded a 4.0% increase in net revenues, a 7.1% increase in Adjusted EBITDAM and a 100 basis points increase in Adjusted EBITDAM margin to 32.3%. In Las Vegas, we experienced continued growth in both gaming and non-gaming areas with a 3.6% increase in casino revenue, a 5.6% increase in food and beverage revenue and an 8.2% increase in hotel revenue. Results from the two Native American properties managed by the Company were also strong, as management fees increased by 33% to $14.4 million.
Year-to-date through June 30, 2015, the Company's consolidated net revenues were $680.6 million, a 5.0% increase compared to the first six months of 2014. Adjusted EBITDAM was $239.6 million for the six months, a $24.3 million, or 11.3%, increase compared to the prior year and Adjusted EBITDAM margin increased 200 basis points to 35.2%. Native American management fees increased $6.0 million to $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
"Our second quarter financial results reflect the ongoing improvement of the Las Vegas economy. Job growth, population growth, housing prices and consumer confidence all continued to head in the right direction. Improvement in the local economy, combined with our strong operating leverage, led to our Las Vegas properties reporting the strongest second quarter Adjusted EBITDAM since 2008 and a 40% improvement in our second quarter Adjusted EBITDAM when compared to the trough in the second quarter of 2010," Falcone stated.
Adjusted EBITDAM is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measurement and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes that it is a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. Adjusted EBITDAM is further defined in footnote 1.
As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the Company's long-term debt was $2.0 billion (excluding a non-recourse land loan of $114.0 million) and cash and cash equivalents were $113.8 million. As of June 30, our debt (net of excess cash) to Adjusted EBITDAM ratio was 4.5 times, excluding the non-recourse land loan.
The Company will host a conference call on August 11, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss its second quarter 2015 financial results. The conference call will consist of prepared remarks from the Company and will include a question and answer session. Those interested in participating in the call should dial (877) 869-3847 or (201) 689-8261 for international callers, approximately 15 minutes before the call start time. A replay of the call will be available from August 11, 2015 through August 18, 2015 at https://www.sclv.com/Investor-Relations.aspx. A live audio webcast of the call will also be available at www.sclv.com.

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries which involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified, and consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the strength and sustainability of the recovery from the recent economic downturn, and the effects of the economy generally, and in particular in Nevada, on consumer spending and our business; the effects of intense competition that exists in the gaming industry; the risk that new gaming licenses or gaming activities, such as expansion of internet gaming, are approved and result in additional competition; our substantial outstanding indebtedness and the effect of our significant debt service requirements on our operations and ability to compete; the risk that we will not be able refinance our outstanding indebtedness or obtain necessary capital to finance any development or investment projects that we may decide to undertake in the future; the impact of extensive regulation from gaming and other government authorities on our ability to operate our business and the risk that regulatory authorities may revoke, suspend, condition or limit our gaming or other licenses, impose substantial fines or take other actions that adversely affect us; risks associated with changes to applicable gaming and tax laws that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; the impact of general business conditions including competitive practices, changes in customer demand and the cyclical nature of the gaming and hospitality business in general, on our business and results of operations; the impact of volatility in the capital markets, including fluctuations in interest rates, on our ability to refinance our debt, access additional capital and financial condition generally; adverse outcomes of legal proceedings and the development of, and changes in, claims or litigation reserves; risks, such as cost overruns and construction delays, associated with development, construction and management of new projects or the expansion of existing facilities; and other risks described in the filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(1) Adjusted EBITDAM is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAM is a widely used measure of operating performance in our industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to operating income, Adjusted EBITDAM is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations excluding management fees, non-cash expenses, financing costs, and other non-operational or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDAM includes net income from continuing operations plus interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, management fee expense, preopening expense, share-based compensation expense, a donation to UNLV, asset impairment charges, write-downs and other charges, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, and change in fair value of derivative instruments, and excludes gain on Native American development and Adjusted EBITDAM attributable to the noncontrolling interests of MPM. To evaluate Adjusted EBITDAM and the trends it depicts, the components should be considered. Each of these components can significantly affect our results of operations and should be considered in evaluating our operating performance, and the impact of these components cannot be determined from Adjusted EBITDAM. Further, Adjusted EBITDAM does not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDAM does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, it should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDAM or adjustments to this measure may calculate EBITDAM or such adjustments in the same manner as we do, and therefore, our measure of Adjusted EBITDAM may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other gaming companies.
