Trust me when I say that it doesn't get much easier than this. Chocolate bark is an easy treat or gift to make in big batches with festive colors and (maybe leftover?) candy.
Last year, I found these candy eyes and I bought four packs, which I pretty much insist on using for all of my Halloween recipes. Similar to the cupcakes and Oreo truffles, this candy is super versatile and once you have the first layer of chocolate down, it can be made for any holiday you can find decorations for (and if you shop at CVS, that means…all of them).
Now, for this particular batch I chose to use black and yellow candy melts to weave through the base layer of almond bark (don't ask me why it's called almond bark – it tastes like plain white chocolate), but you could also use orange and black candy melts with the white. I just happened to pick up lots of orange Halloween candy and really wanted to make sure it wasn't too much of one color.
The candy turns out creamy because of the white chocolate then with pops of the different candies you bite into.
A note on candy melts: candy melts can be slightly intimidating. They're small chocolate wafers that are used for candy making and candy coating (think chocolate-covered strawberries) and are the best way to get color into a dish. When melting the chocolate, start in a microwave-safe bowl first on 30-seconds, then give it a stir, then if it's not melted, follow with an additional 15-seconds, then stir, repeating until the chocolate is melted. If you do it for any longer or not incrementally at all, the chocolate will seize and turn hard and unworkable (I learned this the hard way when I wasted a whole bag of purple candy melts I was so excited to use).
Lay out all of the candy toppings you'll use because the chocolate will dry very, very quickly.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie tray, just to steady everything and have a place for it.
Once the chocolate is all melted, pour the white chocolate onto the parchment paper and with a spatula, spread it towards the four corners, in a rectangle shape, creating a thin layer, which will be the canvas. Then take the black and yellow candy melts and, with a spoon, spoon small dollops around the layer of white chocolate. Take a butter knife and drag it through the black and yellow chocolate to create a swirl affect.
Very quickly, sprinkle your candy toppings over the top and gently press in to so it holds as it hardens.
Once hard (it should take less than five minutes), gently use your hands to break off bite-size pieces of the chocolate.

The average music lover, if asked to name some notable Baroque composers, will probably answer Bach, Handel, Telemann or Vivaldi. But decades before most of those composers flourished, a number of bold pioneers of the early Baroque period were busily developing new musical forms and techniques.
Like most composers born before 1700, details about their lives and careers tend to be skimpy at best. Take the case of the Italian composer Marco Uccellini, who was born somewhere in Italy around 1603, and died on today's date in 1680.
We know (from a little bird) that Uccellini studied in Assisi, and was active in the service of Italian noble families in Modena and Parma. We know he composed operas and ballets for them, but none of that music survives. Uccellini's lasting claim to fame rests of a series of instrumental works, mainly sonatas for violin, which were published during his lifetime.
1714 Italian opera composer Niccolo Jommelli, in Aversa (near Naples). He was known as "the Italian Gluck". Category: births.
1866 Swedish violinist and composer Tor Aulin, in Stockholm. Category: births.
1875 Lithuanian composer Mikolajus Ciurlionis, in Varena (Gregorian date: Sept. 22). His birthday is incorrectly listed as Oct. 4 in many reference works. Category: births.
1680 Italian composer Marco Uccellini, age c. 77, in Folimpopoli. Category: deaths.

This is the first in a series of posts where I will debunk common myths about cat care. The first myth I want to tackle is that raw food or grain free food is better than commercial cooked pet food or prescription based food.
First of all, let me say that nothing could be farther from the truth.
So, What Do We Feed Our Pets?
This topic is a controversial one because we get very defensive about what we feed our pets. Somehow, what we feed our kitties becomes synonymous with how good of a cat owner we think we are and how much we love them. We also tend to have the notion that the more expensive the cat food is, the higher quality it is—that the two are directly associated. When I ask owners what they feed their pets, I often get a version of: "I don't know, but it's the 'Gucci' of pet food." or "I'm not sure, but I know it's very high quality because it's expensive." Let me just say that price and quality are not necessarily associated.
I'm sure all of us would agree that we try to feed our pets the best food out there. So, what is the best food? I have two main criteria: The best food is the one that your cat will actually eat that won't cause vomiting, diarrhea or harm. The next goal with cat food is to find one that will promote long-term health. The latter criteria is the part where we often run into problems.
Marketing plays such a huge role in the trends around us. Who determines what's "in" in fashion? The fashion industry! They set the trends so they can sell us stuff. It's a group of people who collectively come together and say: "Weird tiny sunglasses are in" and then before you know it, celebrities are wearing it. Similarly, who determines what's "in" in pet food? The pet food industry! Do you see a pattern? Marketing is insidious and it permeates the air around us.
I get it—I'm not immune to trends. We as consumers and pet owners are constantly trying to find more "natural" foods to remedy ailments, or we cling to the belief that these trends actually can be beneficial. And sometimes, anecdotally they can, but they must also be taken for what they are—marketing tools with no firm scientific basis.
Raw food diets and grain free diets have been at the forefront of these recent trends. Unfortunately, there is limited data on the efficacy of raw food diets. I can't argue with owners who swear by these raw food diets and claim that it has helped with their pet's allergies, intestinal disease, skin condition and etc. Anecdotal claims only go so far and if owners are convinced that the food has been the sole cause for their cat's well being, who am I to argue with them? Could it be a placebo effect or something else that the owner was doing that they're attributing to the diet? Sure. Could it be true health benefit? Sure. But you should always have a reason as to why you're feeding a raw food diet other than because it's what is being sold to you by pet food stores because guess what? They are trying to sell you something that the vendor is trying to sell them.
What I do know is that raw foods are not fully cooked to kill all the microorganisms that may be present within them. You can see how from a veterinarian standpoint, we would be worried about the public and pet health risks associated with that, particularly if owners have young children or these pets are around the elderly who tend to be more immunocompromised. Extreme care must be taken into handling the pets' excrement or fur and even kissing these pets as they may be more prone to having bacterial overgrowth particularly in their stool and their mouths.
Good sanitary hygiene with a pet's fed raw foods is very important in reducing the transmission of bacterial contamination. Just as we don't feed raw meats to babies and the elderly, we surely don't want to feed it to young kittens or geriatric cats, particularly ones undergoing chemotherapy. One might also argue "But cats eat raw food in the wild." Yes, wildcats, also known as lions, tigers and cheetahs eat raw foods. However, the cats we have here in our homes are domesticated and now live longer lives because of improvement in owner care, advancement of veterinary medicine, and an evolved diet.
And then there are grain free diets. I must say that this has become such a mainstay in the pet food industry that now it's become difficult to find a diet that isn't grain-free. We've basically been led to believe that grains are intrinsically bad because they cause allergies, lead to weight gain, cause seizures and etc with no sound scientific basis other than hearsay. Sure, cats can be allergic to certain carbohydrates in their diet, but they can also be allergic to proteins in their food.
1. Grain-free diet manufacturers fail to mention that these diets are made in facilities where grain is also incorporated so there can be some cross contamination.
2. There is new evidence showing that dogs (not so much in cats) on certain legume-based grain free diets may be more prone to dilated cardiomyopathy (heart disease) stemming from a deficiency in taurine (an amino acid).
3. Finally, the more you change your cat's protein source, the harder it is for us veterinarians to put your possible food allergic cat on a novel protein and carbohydrate source because he/she has already been exposed to so many of them.
Yes, cats are obligate carnivores so you can NEVER make a cat vegan without detrimental consequences and proteins are essential and necessary for cats. However, grains also provide an abundance of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and energy as well. Grains have been singled out as the worst thing for pets when they still provide so many great benefits. Corn has been signed out as the most detrimental—deemed as a vile "filler" with no contribution other than weight gain.
It's not the grain; it's how much of it you're feeding your pet. It's the calories. Add the fact that cats sleep about 2/3 of the day and that's how we get obesity. If you look at the nutrients in corn, it has vitamin C, fiber and B vitamins, so why are we so keen on demonizing this vegetable? It's because somebody out there in marketing land deemed them to be the worst and now everyone thinks corn is the bottom of the barrel.
If we are trying to prolong our cat's lives, I'd argue that prescription diets fall under the realm of "healthy" because they promote the "state of being free from illness." They are backed by years of research to target your cat's ailment and prolong your cat's life as much as possible. That is the reason I recommend it when warranted. Now, getting your cat to eat it is another issue.
All in all, what you feed your pet is all personal preference, but as a doctor, I deal with hard data and science and rely on this information to give my clients the best medical information possible. I, myself, feed my cats a commercial diet that is AAFCO certified to meet the requirements for a complete and balanced food. If you want to feed homemade food, by all means, go ahead. Just follow this BalanceIt.com website spearheaded by the UC Davis Nutrition Department to make sure you're supplying everything in the right proportions to meet the needs of your kitty.
Hope this helps! Please let me know what you think in the comments section below. What works for you? What do you need you cats?

The summer of sport 2021 has been all about England, and cries of 'it's Coming Home'.
England is in the Euros final, the UK has set a rapid vaccination rate, and we are chuffed to have two NFL games in October.
Indeed, it's coming home.
In this episode of the podcast, Wade McElwain and guest Callum Squires look at some of the top sporting stories from the Summer of '21.
Wade also chats to Callum about his impending marriage and move to Las Vegas, and whether or not he will remain a Dolphins fan, or slide down into the fiery hell that is being a Raiders supporter.
The boys output a playlist of NFL hits in this episode, touching on a myriad of fun topics, including:
Aaron Rodgers has been playing loads of golf lately, but not a lot of football.
Is he just having some fun before the start of the season, or is this a calculated PR move to send a message to the Packers?
Hard to tell at this point, but given that Green Bay is owned by the fans, they can't be too pleased with the way he is handling his summer of '21.
Rodgers and DeChambeau laid a beating on Phil and Tommy Boy, but it was the banter that made this gold.
Training camp is only a few weeks away…your move A-A-Ron.
Lamar's Mommy
Lamar Jackson is also looking for a new deal, but he's using an old ally to help get the desired result.
Mommy.
Despite Mrs. Jackson not being formally trained in athletic contractual negotiations, mother knows best, and that's what LJ is hoping to secure with a new contract with the Ravens.
That's right, Lamar Jackson's mom is handling his new contract and negotiations. This could either go horribly wrong, or just a little bit wrong.
If Lamar was ever trying to dispel rumours of being a 'mama's boy', this will be the final nail in his coffin.
Apple NFL
DirecTV's deal with the NFL is about to end in 2022, which means that the media sharks are circling the blood in the water.
Apple TV, Disney, and Amazon are all circling, and sharpening their teeth for a easy ratings meal that could last a decade.
Despite DirecTV claiming that they lost 'billions' in the NFL deal, many of the major streamers aren't worried, because they can prop up their bottom line with product.
In this new digital age, the DirecTV is an antiquated relic. Old school cable boxing, cheesy packaging and tech problems galore, doth not make for something fans want to shell out shingles for.
It's only a matter of time (and money) before one of the big three secures global NFL rights.
Having a one stop NFL solution, will not only make for more viewing options, but also allow for a more worldwide coverage, so that UK fans aren't left out of the conversation.
Going digital means going global, and the NFL could use more of that now.
London NFL
The October games are full throttle ahead, so what does that mean for UK NFL fans?
Callum and Wade talk about the games, and how they think they will go down.
The guys also touch on the difficulty of showing NFL games in pubs, and the nature of pub chains to 'ruin' the experience for NFL fans.
Go England
The guys would also like to remind all our fans that we believe that it's 'Coming Home' to England in the 2021 Euros.
There hasn't been much to celebrate in English football for the past 4 decades, but Sunday's final versus Italy will bolster the spirit of the country.
We believe that it will 'come home', and England will ride that wave of euphoria into 2022.
C'mon England!

Is hybrid cloud certification best for you?
After years of shifting functions to the general public cloud, enterprises understand it's not the proper match for each app and are pulling a few of them again to personal clouds, forcing the companies to undertake a hybrid technique. Nevertheless it's not a straightforward course of and one which will require formal coaching and certifications for the IT professionals tasked with this essential transition.
"An enormous want to maneuver to the cloud, and stress from strains of enterprise to maneuver to the cloud, have created an expertise hole that has led to severe missteps and compelled IT groups to repatriate workloads that they had put within the cloud again into the information middle," says Scott Sinclair, senior analyst at IT analysis agency ESG. "IT's degree of competence, expertise, and training in the way to combine with the cloud is woefully insufficient."
An ESG research from 2018 discovered that 41% of organizations have pulled again not less than one infrastructure-as-a-service workload resulting from satisfaction points. In a subsequent research, ESG found amongst respondents who had moved a workload out of the cloud again to on-premises, 92% had made no modifications or solely minor modifications to the functions earlier than shifting them to the cloud. The functions they introduced again on-premises ran the gamut, together with ERP, database, file and print, and e-mail. A majority (83%) known as not less than one of many functions they repatriated on-premises "mission-critical" to the group.
Had IT groups realized the necessities of the hybrid cloud, the easiest way to handle them, and greatest practices for information safety, they might have fared much better, in keeping with Sinclair. "I'm an enormous believer that cloud adoption shouldn't be taken frivolously, and that individuals needs to be educated as a lot as humanly potential in hybrid cloud environments," he says.
With certifications accessible from distributors like Microsoft, NetApp, and Crimson Hat, in addition to third events such because the Cloud Certificates Council and International Data, IT professionals have loads of alternatives to pursue focused coaching within the hybrid cloud.
Lynne Williams, professor on the College of Enterprise and Data Expertise at Purdue College International, which incorporates instruction on hybrid cloud in its cyber safety and IT grasp's diploma applications, says coaching and certification are important for bigger organizations and those who fall beneath regulatory oversight.
"IT professionals working for a smaller group or a corporation that doesn't should adjust to governmental rules could possibly present affordable hybrid cloud options to the group with simply their private experience and a few analysis into what most closely fits the enterprise focus. Nonetheless, bigger, enterprise-sized organizations might profit from IT professionals having certifications that concentrate on their specific wants," Williams says.
As an example, if a corporation has roles similar to database managers, builders, data safety managers, and community architects, then it's a prime candidate for coaching and certification. "If the enterprise is giant sufficient to require such a specialised function from its IT assist folks, it could be helpful and even required that personnel in these roles are licensed in hybrid cloud environments," she says.
Whereas Williams considers actual world studying helpful to show IT professionals the way to carry out numerous duties, certifications cowl big-picture ideas that will not be apparent in hands-on studying. "Relatively than saying real-world studying is healthier than certification or vice versa, it's extra helpful to contemplate a mix of the 2 for the simplest studying expertise," she says, emphasizing that real-world studying teaches the way to do one thing, and certification will train them why they're doing it.

NEWS: Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt turned down the opportunity to become part of the All Blacks coaching team last year.
New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew said they wanted Schmidt to come in to replace Wayne Smith who was retiring in summer 2017, with the idea that either Schmidt or Ian Foster would take the head coach role once Steve Hansen eventually departs.
Tew confirmed the approach to the New Zealand Herald. Schmidt instead elected to stay on as Ireland head coach until the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Schmidt has now confirmed he will leave his Irish role following the tournament in Japan next year, with defence coach Andy Farrell lined up to replace him.
The New Zealander, who took over in 2013, had led Ireland to three Six Nations titles, 2014, 2015 and the Grand Slam success in 2018.
He's also coached Ireland to their first-ever win over the All Blacks, with a 40-29 success in Chicago and secured a first victory over New Zealand on home soil this year, 16-9 at the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland's Grand Slam success this year, was followed by a 2-1 series win in Australia and a clean sweep in November, leading Schmidt to win the 2018 World Rugby Coach of the Year.
He had been heavily touted to succeed Hansen, but that suggestion was dampened down when Schmidt revealed his intention to walk away from the Ireland job. "I have decided to finish coaching and will prioritise family commitments after the RWC in 2019″ he said.

WINTERS WORLD FEATURING RACING, BABYSITTING, AFTER DINNER SPEAKING AND TWO MIDDLESBROUGH GAMES
The day after the Hibs debacle but life goes on, firstly Sedgefield Races as the beautiful weather continued. Lucky 15 on first four races, three winners then a second, one of these days I will get all four up, I hope!!
Then off to the Riverside, Boro at home to Blackpool (2 points from 9 games), banana skin or what. But this Boro are different aren't they? Well no, despite a bright start and an early goal a bout of illness for Adam Clayton unbalanced the side and Blackpool got more confident.
Despite an equaliser it still looked a gimme that we would get back on top. It didn't turn out that way though and another two points were lost.
My 'almost but not quite' day continued: as Boro pressed for a late winner I had three bets resting on that happening. A late goal, Boro to win and plus 2.5 goals and Boro to win and both teams to score. Never mind, a profitable day and my favourite sports watched.
After my day came two Oliver days, just as good - well, in fact better. Chasing the squirrels, playing on the swings and kicking the football around, the following day a trip to the baths, where splashing Grandpa seems more enjoyable than learning to swim.
Friday and back to work, fairly local at a small village outside York, would you believe a fund raising event for the village's Britain In Bloom fund!! Not the usual cause but a good evening, working with Boro comedian Mick Munroe and back home by 1.30am; an early night!!
Tuesday afternoon and a very busy Sedgefield in the sunshine and a profitable but almost very, very profitable afternoon.
Saturday and as I had another gig in Cheshire on the evening I was left with a predicament over the afternoon's entertainment. Common sense would have seen me take a leisurely drive to Warrington but I'm not for the easy life. So off to the Riverside for the first 70 minutes of the game, then joining the traffic dodgers to get on the road west.
To be quite honest by half time I was beginning to wish that I hadn't bothered. Within 45 seconds of the start of the second half that all changed, Boro must have got a flea in their ears because they came out and started like a house on fire.
Reach scores and the game takes off. Fulham are no mugs now they've got rid of Magath and as I left the outcome was still in the balance. I had to listen to the rest of the game on the radio.
Fulham came close but we got a second so the unbeaten run goes on. Elsewhere remain unbeaten on the road in the league for TWO years. Sadly Hartlepool got hammered and that was the end for Colin Cooper.
Tuesday night at the Riverside, Boro face struggling Blackpool and surely a good opportunity for me to get the Rangers v Hibs game out of my system!!!
Got to Warrington in good time, a local football club do but this time raising funds for Cancer Research following some terrible personal experiences with the locals.
I was working with old mate Ged Stone and yet again we had a great night raising monies far in excess of the organiser's dreams. Home and off to bed by 3.00am!!
Sunday was definitely going to be a chilling in front of the TV watching football type of day.
A military welcome to Boro and Blackpool players.
Monday Oliver, Tuesday would have been Catterick Races but a meeting at the Gazette offices to do our latest Talking Boro panel review for the newspaper. My first look of the season at Hartlepool on Tuesday night against Sheffield United in the Paint Pot Cup.
International shut down so sadly no football next weekend but a trip up to Fife to host the local Rangers Supporters Bus's 40th anniversary celebration dinner.
The last day of September and an afternoon's racing at Sedgefield in the sunshine.
My charity account for MND is still open and taking donations to try and raise funds for the society that works so hard to help people suffering from the disease and I am still hoping people will contribute. Please help me help them. http://www.justgiving.com/Jeff-Winter
Just like his Grandpa Oliver likes to be close to pussy!!!
Saturday afternoon and I'm going to watch most of the Boro v Fulham game at the Riverside.
The hardest journalist in town, Vic prepares for Boro v Fulham with "buck-nut" and ear-ring!!
377 Fulham fans made the journey north to watch their in-form team against Middlesbrough; piss poor support!!

Fileless malware is a dangerous and devious threat--and it's gaining traction. This ebook looks at what it is, how it could affect your organization, and ways you can protect against infections, reduce exposure, and prevent the damage from spreading to other networked systems.
Typical malware detection software functions based on signature detection or identifiable pieces of code that are unique to a particular type of infection. Other malware, such as ransomware, doesn't always leave a trace; however, through heuristics scanning, the behaviors specific to ransomware may be detected and halted, allowing users to take action to protect their data.
But how do you protect against an infection that does not have a signature that clearly identifies it or that performs a behavior that is out of the norm, such as encrypting hundreds of files per second? Furthermore, what can be done when the very commands and applications being called forth by the infection are native to the operating system and are used to perform actual management tasks?
These are characteristics of fileless malware, a type of malware that does not rely on virus-laden files to infect a host but rather attacks a system from the inside to execute malicious code in resident memory. Its attack methods use stealth approaches to mask the commands it employs to keep access hidden and to conceal network traffic between infected hosts and remote command & control (C&C) servers, leaving a backdoor open for future malware attacks to occur.

Conservative Grassroots Leaders Jennifer Wright and Shane Wikfors Endorse Arizona AG Candidate Mark Brnovich
December 4, 2013 by Press Release Leave a Comment
Recently, 2011 Phoenix Mayoral Candidate Jennifer Wright endorsed Republican Mark Brnovich for Arizona Attorney General.
"Now, more than ever, we need an Attorney General who knows and understands not only the U.S. Constitution, but the Arizona Constitution. We need an AG who will fight against federal programs, like ObamaCare. We need someone whose background includes not only prosecuting criminals, but has served as the director of the Goldwater Institute's Center for Constitutional Government. And, we need someone who talks the talk AND walks the walk. Friends, we need Mark Brnovich."
East Valley conservative activist and grassroots leader Shane Wikfors also endorsed Brnovich for Arizona Attorney General.
"As someone who places tremendous value on character and experience, I am excited to endorse Mark Brnovich to be Arizona's next Attorney General. Mark possesses the conservative principles and personal integrity necessary to represent and advocate for Arizonans against an overbearing assault from Washington, DC. As a prosecutor, Mark has always demonstrated a commitment to justice, fairness, and judicial integrity. I also admire and respect his dedication to protecting our cultural and faith-based values. I wholeheartedly endorse and support Mark Brnovich as our next Attorney General of Arizona."
Of the endorsements, Mark had this to say, "Jennifer Wright and Shane Wikfors have been steadfast advocates for conservative principles in the valley for a long time. Their support is invaluable and I look forward to working with them to help restore integrity and character to the office of Attorney General."
ABOUT MARK BRNOVICH:
Raised in Arizona, Mark Brnovich is a graduate of Arizona State University. After law school, Mark prosecuted felonies in the Gang/Repeat Offender Bureau of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and worked as an Assistant Attorney General for Arizona and as Assistant US Attorney for the District of Arizona.

Republicans on Immigration Issues and the Latino Vote

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkHHd_7llEo
And if you're curious, here is what the Republican Party Platform says on "Immigration, National Security, and the Rule of Law"
Immigration policy is a national security issue, for which we have one test: Does it serve the national interest? By that standard, Republicans know America can have a strong immigration system without sacrificing the rule of law.
Enforcing the Rule of Law at the Border and Throughout the Nation
Border security is essential to national security. In an age of terrorism, drug cartels, and criminal gangs, allowing millions of unidentified persons to enter and remain in this country poses grave risks to the sovereignty of the United States and the security of its people. We simply must be able to track who is entering and leaving our country.
Our determination to uphold the rule of law begins with more effective enforcement, giving our agents the tools and resources they need to protect our sovereignty, completing the border fence quickly and securing the borders, and employing complementary strategies to secure our ports of entry. Experience shows that enforcement of existing laws is effective in reducing and reversing illegal immigration.
Our commitment to the rule of law means smarter enforcement at the workplace, against illegal workers and lawbreaking employers alike, along with those who practice identity theft and traffic in fraudulent documents. As long as jobs are available in the United States, economic incentives to enter illegally will persist. But we must empower employers so they can know with confidence that those they hire are permitted to work. That means that the E-Verify system—which is an internet-based system that verifies the employment authorization and identity of employees—must be reauthorized. A phased-in requirement that employers use the E-Verify system must be enacted.
The rule of law means guaranteeing to law enforcement the tools and coordination to deport criminal aliens without delay – and correcting court decisions that have made deportation so difficult. It means enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas, rather than letting millions flout the generosity that gave them temporary entry. It means imposing maximum penalties on those who smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S., both for their lawbreaking and for their cruel exploitation. It means requiring cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement and real consequences, including the denial of federal funds, for self-described sanctuary cities, which stand in open defiance of the federal and state statutes that expressly prohibit such sanctuary policies, and which endanger the lives of U.S. citizens. It does not mean driver's licenses for illegal aliens, nor does it mean that states should be allowed to flout the federal law barring them from giving in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, nor does it mean that illegal aliens should receive social security benefits, or other public benefits, except as provided by federal law.
We oppose amnesty. The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people's rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government's past failures to enforce the law.
Embracing Immigrant Communities
Today's immigrants are walking in the steps of most other Americans' ancestors, seeking the American dream and contributing culturally and economically to our nation. We celebrate the industry and love of liberty of these fellow Americans.
Both government and the private sector must do more to foster legally present immigrants' integration into American life to advance respect for the rule of law and a common American identity. It is a national disgrace that the first experience most new Americans have is with a dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy defined by delay and confusion; we will no longer tolerate those failures.
In our multiethnic nation, everyone – immigrants and native-born alike – must embrace our core values of liberty, equality, meritocracy, and respect for human dignity and the rights of women.
One sign of our unity is our English language. For newcomers, it has always been the fastest route to prosperity in America. English empowers. We support English as the official language in our nation, while welcoming the ethnic diversity in the United States and the territories, including language. Immigrants should be encouraged to learn English. English is the accepted language of business, commerce, and legal proceedings, and it is essential as a unifying cultural force. It is also important, as part of cultural integration, that our schools provide better education in U.S. history and civics for all children, thereby fostering a commitment to our national motto, E Pluribus Unum.
We are grateful to the thousands of new immigrants, many of them not yet citizens, who are serving in the Armed Forces. Their patriotism is inspiring; it should remind the institutions of civil society of the need to embrace newcomers, assist their journey to full citizenship, and help their communities avoid patterns of isolation.
Welcoming Refugees
Our country continues to accept refugees from troubled lands all over the world. In some cases, these are people who stood with America in dangerous times, and they have first call on our hospitality. We oppose, however, the granting of refugee status on the basis of lifestyle or other non-political factors.

U.S. Supreme Court Strikes Down Arizona's "Clean Elections" Act
June 27, 2011 by Press Release 6 Comments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 27, 2011
CONTACT: Christina Walsh
Court Protects Free Speech and Political Participation
Arlington, Va.—In a victory for free speech and political participation, today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the "matching funds" provision of Arizona's so-called "Clean Elections" Act is unconstitutional. The landmark case is Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett, argued by the Institute for Justice. Both IJ and the Goldwater Institute had challenged Arizona's law in court.
"This case is a clear reminder to government officials that they may not coerce speakers to limit their own speech," said Bill Maurer, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, who argued the case. "The Court's decision today, like other recent decisions, makes clear that the First Amendment is not an exception to campaign finance laws; it is the rule."
Maurer said, "As a result of today's ruling, government can no longer use public funds to manipulate speech in campaigns to favor government-funded political candidates and turn the speech of traditionally funded candidates into the vehicle by which their entire political goals are undermined."
Arizona's "Clean Elections" Act manipulated election speech by favoring candidates who participated in the public funding system over those who chose to forego taxpayer dollars and instead raised funds through voluntary contributions. For every dollar a privately funded candidate spent above a government-dictated amount, the government gave additional funds to his opponent. The Act even matched funds spent by independent groups that supported privately funded candidates, thereby canceling out those independent groups' speech.
According to the Court, "The direct result of the speech of privately financed candidates and independent expenditure groups is a state-provided monetary subsidy to a political rival. That cash subsidy, conferred in response to political speech, penalizes speech."
The Court's decision followed the reasoning of its 2008 decision in Davis v. FEC, in which it struck down unequal contribution limits for candidates. As the Court said in today's decision, although the penalty imposed by Arizona's law is different in some respects from the law in Davis "those differences make the Arizona law more constitutionally problematic, not less."
For example, Arizona's law matches not only candidate expenditures, but those of independent expenditure groups, such as the clients represented by the Institute for Justice. As the Court put it "the matching funds provision forces privately funded candidates to fight a political hyrdra of sorts. Each dollar they spend generates two adversarial dollars in response."
At bottom, the matching funds provision was a bald attempt by the state to manipulate speech by forcing speakers to either trigger matching funds, change their message, or refrain from speaking. According to the Court, "forcing that choice . . . certainly contravenes 'the fundamental rule of protection under the First Amendment, that a speaker has the autonomy to choose the content of his own message.'"
Moreover, the Court recognized that the end result of the matching funds was the total curtailment of political speech, for "If the matching funds provision achieves its professed goal and causes candidates to switch to public financing, . . . there will be less speech: no spending above the initial state-set amount by formerly privately financed candidates, and no associated matching funds for anyone. Not only that, the level of speech will depend on the State's judgment of the desirable amount, an amount tethered to available (and often scarce) state resources."
But as the Court strongly reiterated today, "the whole point of the First Amendment is to protect speakers against unjustified restrictions on speech, even when those restrictions reflect the will of the majority. When it comes to protected speech, the speaker is sovereign."
In finding that matching funds substantially burden speech, Chief Justice Roberts pointed to research by University of Rochester political scientist David Primo, an expert in the case. Contrary to claims of Clean Elections' backers, Dr. Primo's original research "found that privately financed candidates facing the prospect of triggering matching funds changed the timing of their fundraising activities, the timing of their expenditures, and, thus, their overall campaign strategy" to avoid sending additional funds to opponents. The research is available at www.ij.org/images/pdf_folder/first_amendment/az_campaign_finance/expert-report-d_primo.pdf.
Today's ruling is important not just for those states and municipalities that have similar "matching fund" systems. As Maurer explains, "The decision prohibits government from attempting to level the playing field among political speakers by creating disincentives for some and incentives for others. The clear message of the First Amendment to government is: Hands off!"
Although today's ruling affects only the matching funds provision of the Clean Elections Act, there is a measure on the November 2012 Arizona ballot that would end the whole Clean Elections system by forbidding government support of candidate campaigns.
The Institute for Justice has litigated against this unconstitutional provision since 2004. IJ represents independent political groups the Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC and the Arizona Taxpayers Action Committee as well as political candidates Senator Rick Murphy and former State Treasurer Dean Martin.
"Now that matching funds are no more, we do not have to censor our own speech," said Steve Voeller of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC. "As long as this law was in place, we knew that that speaking out in the election meant that our political opponents would be showered with government money. The more we spoke, the more politicians we opposed benefitted. Now we can actually speak freely."
Shane Wikfors of the Arizona Taxpayers Action Committee said, "We have always believed that this law was meant to corral not only candidates but also voters by limiting political speech, intimidating organizations like ours and ultimately leading to a political outcome that was tainted by the state's involvement. We are grateful that the Court protected political expression and struck down this unconstitutional state intervention."
Rick Murphy said, "I'm grateful a majority of the justices recognized that the government shouldn't try to 'level the playing field' of free speech with public money."
Dean Martin said, "After nearly a decade, justice has prevailed. Now I am looking forward to November 2012, when the voters have a chance to get rid of the rest of taxpayer money that support politicians."
Many observers anticipated the Court would strike down the matching funds program. IJ-Arizona Staff Attorney Paul Avelar explained, "It was pretty clear that matching funds violate the First Amendment rights of candidates, citizens and independent groups. The Ninth Circuit's decision, now overturned, was so inconsistent with protections for free speech in campaigns that two other federal appellate courts almost immediately refused to follow it. In those cases, the courts struck down matching funds systems in Connecticut and Florida."
"This is yet another example of an important judicial trend the Institute for Justice has advocated since our founding—that of judicial engagement," said Institute for Justice President and General Counsel Chip Mellor. "The Court looked beyond the state's claims about Clean Elections to its substance. It recognized that the real purpose of the law was not to eliminate corruption, but to level the playing field by manipulating speech. In the past, the courts have all too often rubberstamped the government's claims about corruption in elections and upheld campaign finance laws that violated First Amendment rights. The Court seems to be moving in the other direction in campaign finance, and as a result, we are all freer."
Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC is just one of several challenges the Institute for Justice is litigating against restrictions on free speech by campaign finance laws. Mellor promised that "IJ will continue to fight against laws that reduce speech, silence disfavored speakers and viewpoints, and allow government to manipulate the marketplace of ideas thereby stripping away people's right to govern themselves."
Social science research shows that the purported benefits of public funding programs rarely materialize, while the costs to candidates and independent groups are real. Dr. Primo summed up the findings of the best available research in a paper for the Institute for Justice (available at http://www.ij.org/about/3466), and concluded, "Public funding is a program that promises much and delivers little."
IJ recently won a landmark victory for free speech in federal court on behalf of SpeechNow.org, an independent group that opposes or supports candidates on the basis of their stance on free speech. IJ also won on behalf of a group of neighbors who were prosecuted by their political opponents under Colorado's byzantine campaign finance laws merely for speaking out against the annexation of their neighborhood to a nearby town. In addition, IJ won recent victories for free speech in Florida when a federal judge struck down the state's broadest-in-the-nation "electioneering communications" law and in Washington when it stopped an attempt to use the state's campaign finance laws to regulate talk-radio commentary about a ballot issue.

40 Abortions Per Week
June 17, 2011 by Center for Arizona Policy 3 Comments
Phoenix Magazine's current edition portrays a glowing image of Valley abortionist Gabrielle Goodrick, who claims to perform, on average, 40 abortions per week. The article reads like a Planned Parenthood ad: dehumanizing the preborn and completely ignoring the considerable physical and emotional risks women face when they have an abortion.
Shane Wikfors at Sonoran Alliance blog this week wrote about what is also noticeably missing from the article. In February, Goodrick was placed on five years probation by the Arizona Medical Board. The Board said she reported she "may have a substance abuse problem," and the Board's Physician Health Program Contractor determined that Ms. Goodrick was "not safe to practice" and recommended "that she attend a chemical dependency evaluation."
While not surprising, the lack of journalistic integrity is astounding. Once again, when all the facts are included, one cannot paint a sunny picture of Arizona's abortion industry. I encourage you to pray for Goodrick and those entering her clinic. The facts are that abortion has tragic, life-altering consequences for all involved.
Leading a Family
Dad's make a difference in our lives. They play a critical role in providing a loving, secure environment for families. A Heritage Foundation brief shows the importance for families of having a dad around:
Fathers' engagement in their children's activities is linked to higher academic performance.
Among adolescent boys, those who receive more parenting from their fathers are less likely to exhibit anti-social and delinquent behavior.
Among adolescent girls, those who have a strong relationship with their fathers are less likely to report experiencing depression.
Today, a new group of children, though, may never know their fathers. Jennifer Lahl, the executive producer of Eggsploitation, is producing a new film, Anonymous Father's Day. The film tells the story of children conceived through sperm donation who will most likely never know their fathers and how this has impacted their lives. Click here to watch the trailer, and visit AnonymousUs.com to hear some of these stories. Also be sure to thank and love on your dad this Father's Day! Most likely, I'll be watching the U.S. Open with my dad and my husband.
Eye-Opening
We screened Eggsploitation twice this week – at Arizona Christian University and for a joint House and Senate Health Committee. Eggsploitation tells how the retrieval of human eggs to create embryos through in vitro fertilization carries significant health risks for women, to say nothing of the potential harm to embryos. Most who see the movie – from legislators to college-age women – say the movie is eye-opening. Click here for a copy of CAP's overview of the issue.
If you missed the screening, and would like to see Eggsploitation, you can purchase the DVD from CAP for $17 plus $3 shipping and handling. Also, if you're interested in hosting a screening for your church, class, or small group, we can help. Email info@azpolicy.org or call the CAP office, 602.424.2525.

Investigative journalist, publisher, www.jensweinreich.de
Jens Weinreich has a proven track record of investigating corruption and crime in the Olympic world for more than 25 years. He has published a first book on the shadow business of the International Olympic Committee in 1996, and a well-received book on corruption in FIFA in 1998. More than a decade before it became en vogue to criticise FIFA this was groundbreaking work, always in close cooperation with the British journalist Andrew Jennings.
Weinreich's experience in IOC's olympic kingdom is unparalleld among active journalists, not only has he revealed numerous scandals but also has he covered 37 IOC sessions. His most important investigations include the detection of the ISL bribery scandal, the hitherto largest corruption system in the olympic world (involved senior officials of IOC, FIFA, IAAF, AIBA and other federations), and the story how Germany has bought the right to host the FIFA World Cup 2006. The latter was a story of the year in Germany and created a kind of an earthquake in the football system, it lead to the resignation of the president of the football federation, the public fall of Germany's national icon Beckenbauer, and to criminal and tax investigations and trials in several countries.
Weinreich has worked for all kind of media outlets (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, his own blog and podcast). Currently he is working as a freelance, mainly for DER SPIEGEL but focused on his own investigative magazine 'SPORT & POLITICS' (https://www.jensweinreich.de/shop/) and blog.
He has covered three dozen of the biggest international sporting events including 12 Olympic Games, World Championships in Athletics, Swimming and the FIFA World Cup. He has covered all Olympic bid competitions since 1991 – the bidding process and the question how to finance the Games and the Olympic movement has always been in the center of his work.
Weinreich was named as Germany's "Sport journalist of the year" (2009, 2013) and Germany's "Online journalist of the year" (2009) and was ranked almost regularly in top 3 positions in different journalistic categories over more than a decade.
In 2005 he received the "Waechterpreis" for investigative journalism for investigations on the financial scandals during the Leipzig bid for the Olympic Games 2012.
In 2009 Weinreich received the prestigious "Grimme Online Award" for the new level of sport political coverage he has created on his blog "Sport and Politics".
In 2011 he received the "Play the Game Award" together with Andrew Jennings for outstanding investigations on FIFA crime over almost two decades. Said the jury: "Jennings and Weinreich have been despised, criticized and excluded from doing their job by sports leaders, politicians, and even by their own colleagues. Still, they have been determined in pursuing their investigations. They not only sought, but also found the documentation, and that is a great achievement which has been fundamental for the world public's understanding of FIFA as it is today."
In 2015 he revealed – together with journalists from DER SPIEGEL – how Germany has become the host of FIFA's World Cup 2006. Investigations of tax and criminal authorities are ongoing and focused on Germany's football icon Franz Beckenbauer. The investigation team received the most prestigious journalistic award in 2016: the "Nannen Preis" for their exclusive stories that shook the German Football Federation DFB.
1991 "Olympia-Informator", Sportverlag Berlin, with V. Kluge.
1996 "Muskelspiele", Rowohlt Berlin Verlag, with T. Kistner. The book investigates the obscure backgrounds of some of the IOC`s leading figures, their alliances and secret deals which inevitably led to the sell-out of Olympic ideals and values.
1998 "Das Milliardenspiel", Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, with T. Kistner. This report on soccer, the billion-dollar-game, focusses on the kind of policy FIFA adopted under the presidency of Joao Havelange and his successor Joseph Blatter. It examines the circumstances under which media-tycoon Leo Kirch secured the TV-rights to broadcast the word championships and explains why Nike is able to command Ronaldo and the Brazilian squad.
2000 "Der olympische Sumpf - die Machenschaften des IOC", Piper Verlag, with T. Kistner. The Salt Lake City scandal disclosed widespread corruption within the IOC, yet some questions remain which are discussed in this report: How did Sydney get the games? Is the president of the IOC a member of the secret catholic sect Opus Dei? What kind of contact is there between IOC members, bosses of the world boxing federation AIBA and alleged members of the Russian mafia?

Research and Submissions
Parliamentary Submissions
These submissions, from Asialink, propose a number of priority areas where action should be taken by government to ensure that Australia's relationships with Asia are supported and strengthened. They address themes such as economy, development aid and political and security relations, with the intention of making a number of constructive recommendations.
Cambodia and the Evolution of Peacebuilding: The Role of the Paris Peace Accords
On the 30th anniversary of the Paris Peace Accords, which marked the end of Cambodia's long-running conflict, Aslialink and the Australian Institute for International Affairs hosted a conference bringing together diplomats, scholars, and government officials, including those with personal involvement in the peace agreement process, to reflect on the agreement - its implications, its legacy, and its lessons. The resulting conference report was released in 2022. DIPLOMACY
Asialink Commission: Southeast Asia as 'The Third Way' (2012)
The Asialink Commission proposes that Australia move beyond the US-China dynamic and give Southeast Asian countries a central place in the Australian international narrative as natural partners and neighbours. The Commission recommends Australia commit sustained resources to lifting its profile in Southeast Asian countries, and the ASEAN region's profile in Australia, and take a whole-of-government approach to ASEAN cooperation, with a wide range of departments seeking to establish constructive partnerships in Southeast Asia.
PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index (2008-2013)
The PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index is the only comprehensive, long-term measure of Australia's engagement with Asia. It assesses the level and rate of change across seven components and 25 economies.
The Australia Myanmar Business Taskforce
The Australia Myanmar Business Taskforce was established to foster closer economic co-operation with Myanmar and to assist with the development of its policy and legislative frameworks. It was designed to unearth opportunities that emerge as Myanmar develops, and instigate extensive and positive impact on the development of local capacity within Myanmar.


Apoliogies for any non PI wording, I'm from MQ side.
PI is trying to connect to our MQ instance and if no MQ oam security is in place thats working fine for JMS and non JMS compliant both reading and writing.
We have to add a security layer in MQ to restrict the connection to certian objects. Problem is that nobody can so far pinpoint what those objects are.
We granted MQ rights to the queues and queue managers for the user id and that user id is specified in the channel definition.
The MQ side would then reject inquire requests for queue SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE and we added that as it would do no harm to us. Now, although the svrconn channel comes up the PI channel gets a mqjms2008 - 2035 error.
We'd like to know what its trying to do so we can help but docuemntation at this level is limited - from what I've found so far.
Can anyone help with either a detail technical link for this adapter or with experience of having doen it before.
You need a server conn channel with an appropriate MCA, i.e. not a user in the mqm group. Configure your JMS adapter to connect to the queue manager on that channel. Set up the appropriate OAM on the desired objects and you are up and running.
If you are getting authorisation errors once the OAM has been set up, do you get errors in the mq error log? In addition you should be able to increase the trace level within both MQ and PI?
>channel comes up the PI channel gets a mqjms2008 - 2035 error.
It is a security error, Check whether it permit that ID to access the queue.
As has been said its a security error, do you know which objects the PI channel is trying to access, if not as per my previous post check your mq error logs.
We had the oam setup as suggested but got the additional error message.
Suddenly the 2035 went away and PI was connecitng - PI says it made no changes - one of those mytery fixes.

Marmaris bay dedicated to sharks for protection
Musa Kesler – MUĞLA
A bay in Turkey's southwest has been established as a reserved area for sandbar sharks (Carcharhinus plumbeus) in a decision barring fishers and divers from the area.
Boncuk Bay in the touristic Marmaris district of the southwestern Muğla province has been declared as a protection zone by the Directorate General for Preservation of Natural Heritage after it has been found that it is the sole established nursery ground of the sandbar sharks in the Mediterranean.
"All sorts of fishing and diving activities in the bay is forbidden. In a sense, the bay is reserved for sharks. They will be monitored via satellite transmitters put on them," said Zafer Kızılkaya, head of the Mediterranean Conservation Society.
As a species native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific, sandbar shark is listed as vulnerable due to overfishing.
"Some 100 million sharks are being killed every year. They are under grave danger. Their importance is great. Because they are at the top of the food chain. Removing them from the food chain disrupts the ecosystem," he said.
"The sharks coming to the bay can grow as big as 2 meters. They arrive on April and May. We can observe them during the year occasionally depending on the sea water temperature. According to the observations we have made for five years, they don't come here if the temperature is above 26 degrees Celsius. In this area, the water temperature increases above 26 degrees starting from August until mid-September, thus the sharks leave here in that period," added Kızılkaya, who has been involved in monitoring the sharks since 1987.
The sandbar shark is one of the biggest coastal sharks in the world and it has a similar appearance to other dangerous sharks such as bull sharks, however, it is considered not to be dangerous to people. It preys on fish, rays, and crabs.
The Mediterranean Conservation Society has been conducting a project in the Gulf of Gökova, which houses tens of bays such as the Boncuk Bay, to monitor and protect species including the sandbar shark and the Mediterranean Monk Seal.
"There's another area near the Boncuk Bay, the English Bay where fishing is prohibited. When we seized the net of a fishing boat involved in illegal fishing there, we saw some 20 baby sharks. That is to say, they go to protected areas with plenty of fish after giving birth. It shows the high importance of the protected areas. Banning fishing there is of high importance to the survival of these animals," said Kızılkaya.
The longevity of the sandbar shark is typically 35–41 years. Females reach sexual maturity around the age of 13.
In the Gulf of Gökova, where more than 200 coastal fishermen operate, six areas have been declared closed to the fishery in 2010 in order to recover the reduced fish stocks and to protect sensitive spawning areas. The Marine Ranger Service System was developed with the idea that the protection activities in the areas should be increased and the responsible institutions should be supported in this respect. The ranger boats with cameras and other technological equipment started to work in 2013.

Q: What will be the real voltage along the line with a voltage source and a capacitor? Take the following circuit:

If I do a simulation of this circuit I get this graph:

The strange thing is that in the simulator it gives the same voltage sine wave in the circuit, near the voltage source and near the capacitor.
In real circuit is it the same? Even if the wire is long between the voltage source and the capacitor?

A: What looks like a 'line' running from your voltage source, past your resistors, to your capacitor isn't. It's a NODE. The simulator models it as a single connection point, with a single voltage. You could redraw that circuit by changing the order of the components, making that line wiggly or very long, and the simulator will treat it in exactly the same way.
If you want to describe a physical conductor, perhaps 1m of copper wire 1mm2 area, then as a first order approximation, valid for DC, you can model that as a series resistor of 0.017ohms.
If you want better (more realistic, matching what real wires do at higher frequencies) models, then adding some series inductance, or using a transmission line of a suitable impedance would be the things to do.
We always try to use the simplest model that describes what we need describing, and nothing more.

Home/Articles/Revolution and Social Media: Restoration of Role
Revolution and Social Media: Restoration of Role
Islam Zaabal 12 February، 2019
Nowadays, information technology has acquired great significance, comprising all aspects of popular social life, especially in the media and communication areas. In fact, digital communication has played a big role in changing the political and social reality domestically, regionally, and internationally.
In Egypt, social networking sites had played a significant role in shaping political and revolutionary awareness to large sectors of the Egyptian people before and even after the January 25th. Revolution. Many political movements – such as "Six April Movement", "We Are All Khalid Saeed", the "National Assembly for Change", as well as the "Muslim Brotherhood Youth" pages – have used the social networking sites to promote their ideas and acquire more supporters, after creating official pages on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.The social media was used for mobilization of protesters and calling for changing the regime and led to the outbreak of the January 25th. Revolution and overthrowing the regime, which shows the significance of social media in the process of political change and revolutionary action.
The stages experienced by the media environment in Egypt before and after the Jan. revolution:
Development of the role of media in Egypt before and after the revolution can be divided into three stages:
The stage of marginal opposition (before the January revolution under the rule of ousted President Mubarak), where there was a limited margin of freedom for some of the televised and print media: However, some observers say it was only a kind of cosmetics to beautify the regime's image in front of the West.
The stage of media chaos (from the early days after Mubarak had stepped down until the July 2013 coup d'etat): This stage is viewed by some as the best time for freedom of expression. However, others believe that it should have been rationalized because it created a state of chaos and polarization in the Egyptian society. This state of confusion was exploited by the "deep state" with all its components, including the army, police, judiciary and sovereign bodies. During that period, reliance on social media for expression declined because satellite channels and newspapers became an alternative means for expression. Unfortunately, the media was exploited as an arena for incitement, intimidation and abuse instead of being a factor in building, rationalizing and achieving the objectives of the revolution.
The stage of silencing all voices by force, which came after the military coup in 2013 and was considered the cruelest and most difficult periods in the history of the Egyptian media. Therefore, Egyptians once more returned to reliance on the social media as an alternative media. This situation was also exploited by Egyptian security and intelligence services, in formation of the so-called "electronic committees".
Social networking sites and restoration of role
Social networking sites had played an active role as a means for calling for protests before the January Revolution. They were also used as a tool for maneuvering with the Egyptian security forces. For example, activists sometimes called for "mock protests" in fake timing and places as a tactic to exhaust the security forces and as a means to protect their grassroots from arrest.
The Egyptian regime under Abdel Fattah al-Sisi deals with the activists of social networking sites in a more brutal way than ever before, for fear of instigating a popular uprising similar to the January 25 revolution, which shows clearly how the repressive regime in Egypt is aware of the significance of social media and their role in creating a revolutionary situation. Accordingly, Sisi enacted laws to watch and even ban personal social media accounts in flagrant violation of human rights.
The question now is: Have the social media lost their effectiveness? The answer is no.
A report by Technowireless, an Egyptian company specializing in the marketing of electronic and mobile networks, has revealed that there is a significant increase in the use of internet in Egypt, especially after 25 January 2011, where the internet in general, and Facebook and Twitter social networking sites in particular, played an active role in the outbreak of the Egyptian popular uprising that lasted 18 days and prompted Mubarak to step down on 11 February 2011. The report said that the number of internet users in Egypt before January 25 was 21.2 million, but that number reached 23.1 million after that. The number of Facebook users before Jan. 25 was 4.2 million, but rose by 23.8 percent after the revolution, reaching about 5.2 million, according to the report. Twitter users also increased from 26,800 before the revolution to 44,200 after that, the report said.
It is also clear that the number of users of WhatsApp, Telegram, as well as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are increasing significantlyp and use of these applications has become more effective as well. The social networking sites have become the main link between technology and politics, being almost the only way to express opinions after closing all means of expression to revolutionaries under the current system.
Just as revolutionaries were able to confront the security services before the January revolution by using social media in mobilization, assembly and maneuvering, they would be able to innovate new ways for responding to the repressive practices of the Sisi regime. The state of fear that the Sisi regime has been creating in the Egyptian society through murder, torture and detention will not prevent those who believe in the January 25 revolution from creating more innovative ways to revive their peaceful revolutionary action.
