'Noble' War In Libya - Part 2
Post 28 March 2011
Last Updated on 27 February 2017
As a Sunday Times leader made clear on March 20, sometimes you just have to draw a line:
'[T]here can be no accommodation with a man like Gadaffi or any of his family who aspire to succeed him.' (Leading article, 'Allies need a rapid victory to outwit Gadaffi,' Sunday Times, March 20, 2011)
Seven years earlier, Alan Massie wrote in the same newspaper:
'The sight of Tony Blair shaking hands with Colonel Gadaffi last week will have disgusted many… One may sympathise with these sentiments but, pushing emotion aside, Blair has shown courage. It would be lovely if international politics could be conducted so you were always dealing with decent people. It might be nice if governments were able consistently to pursue the "ethical foreign policy" of which Robin Cook used to speak so enthusiastically but the world isn't like that.' (Massie, 'Keeping Gadaffi close is the safest option,' Sunday Times, March 28, 2004)
Sometimes, then, there can be accommodation with a man like Gaddafi. It was important not to overstate the extent of his crimes:
'Of course, Libya remains essentially a dictatorship, even if not as repellent a one as that of Saddam's.'
And democracy was far more likely to take root in the Middle East 'in an atmosphere of friendship than of hostility'. Thus Blair was 'bringing Libya into the fold of the community of nations'.
Like a skilled conjuror, the media slips effortlessly, and without explanation, between the obvious need for 'positive engagement' and the obvious need to 'confront tyranny'.
The previous day, a Telegraph headline had read:
'Shell fills its boots in the desert sun. The oil major's deal with Libya is a welcome distraction from weeks of turmoil.' (Christopher Hope, Daily Telegraph, March 27, 2004)
Christopher Hope commented:
'Libya's re-emergence as a place to do business looks well-timed for Western oil companies concerned about dwindling reserve levels. Like Iraq last year, it shows that on occasion politicians are not deaf to the necessity of driving through geo-political change to find more oil which will keep Western economies on the road.'
Reviewing the same rapprochement in 2004, a Guardian leader nodded quiet approval:
'We should congratulate the Foreign Office for its quiet and effective diplomacy… Col Gadafy should be encouraged, but not at such a forced pace.' (Leading article: 'Colonel Gadafy: The prodigal son returns,' The Guardian, March 26, 2004)
An Independent editorial described Gaddafi as merely 'the Arab world's most eccentric and unpredictable leader', adding:
'Mr Blair is right to argue that there is real cause for rejoicing in a sinner that repenteth. However distasteful to the families of those murdered, an engagement and reconciliation with Libya that leads to the admission of guilt and compensation is better than continued isolation of the North African country.' (Leading article, 'The ethics of shaking hands with a tyrant, and the reality of Mr Blair's foreign policy,' The Independent, March 26, 2004)
Again, it was important not to exaggerate Gaddafi's crimes: 'It is many years, also, since the Colonel has been actively engaged in supporting terror groups in Europe.'
Seven years later, on March 19, an Independent editorial exalted:
'The international community has managed to come together over Libya in a way that, even a few days ago, seemed impossible. The adventurism [sic] of Bush and Blair in 2003 looked as if it had buried the principle of humanitarian intervention [sic] for a generation. It has returned sooner than anyone believed possible.'
We have found not a word in that editorial, or any other, on why 'engagement and reconciliation with Libya' was advisable and possible in 2004, but completely impossible now. Might the explanation in fact lie in the WikiLeaked cable from November 2007 cited in Part 1:
'But those who dominate Libya's political and economic leadership are pursuing increasingly nationalistic policies in the energy sector that could jeopardize efficient exploitation of Libya's extensive oil and gas reserves. Effective U.S. engagement on this issue should take the form of demonstrating the clear downsides to the GOL [government of Libya ] of pursuing this approach…'?
In 2004, Andrew Rawnsley wrote in the Observer that 'Tory attacks' on Blair's deal with Gaddafi looked 'clumsily opportunistic'. And anyway: 'Our poll today indicates that a substantial majority of voters support the visit.'
Rawnsley drew attention to the positives:
'It will be an ultimate gain if engagement with the West gradually draws Libya towards more democratic values. It is a start that Amnesty International has at last been allowed into Libya to monitor human rights.'
He added brightly:
'This is a very British coup. In the eyes of the Prime Minister, this is also a quintessentially Blair coup: a vindication of his own approach to the world, a reassertion of his belief that Britain plays a pivotal role in global affairs.'
Seven years later, Rawnsley shudders at the prospect of 'a pariah, highly dangerous Gaddafi regime on the southern borders of Europe. The people of Libya will never be truly safe from him until he no longer has the power to do them harm'.
No-one could accommodate this maniac:
'At the heart of the perils ahead stands Colonel Gaddafi, the great survivor among tyrants. He may be mad, but that doesn't mean he is entirely stupid… He declared a ceasefire as if he had suddenly become a reformed character who would not hurt a hair on a civilian's head. We can be justified in regarding that possibility as being about as likely as discovering that Elvis Presley is alive and well living in the stomach of the Loch Ness monster.'
Ironically, echoing his earlier article, Rawnsley commented: 'Public opinion is broadly behind confronting Colonel Gaddafi.'
The Guardian has been more sceptical of the intervention, although for pragmatic reasons:
'The moment the US intervenes militarily, even under a UN banner, Gaddafi gets what he wants – to be the defender against the foreign aggressor. Libya's rebels are unanimous in their opposition to a ground intervention.'
Media Irrationalists
In adapting so flexibly to the claims of the powerful, the media's framework of understanding might best be described as irrationalist. Typically, the media does not look for rational causes or systemic motives. It does not explain how leaders clearly emerging from a corporate power base can so often agitate for 'humanitarian intervention', and so often in resource-rich countries. It does not learn from history, even very recent history. It does not return to reflect on the credibility of previous claims ('not news'), or on the testimony of credible witnesses countering such claims ('no news hook'). It lives in a version of 'now' woven from government spin. If evidence drops in their laps, journalists will report, and quickly forget the significance of, the comments of an Alan Greenspan or a John Norris. But to actively seek out such material is to be deemed 'crusading', 'biased' and, ultimately, 'radioactive' (that is, unemployable).
Western journalists are reporting essentially the same Perpetual War being fought against the same 'rogue states' using the same means over and over again. This is why, in replying to one emailer, the BBC's Jonathan Marcus wrote:
'I think the clear military logic is that until Colonel Gaddafi issues a definitive order to halt offensive operations, Iraqi ground forces will be seen as targets.' (Email, forwarded to Media Lens, March 21, 2011 – our emphasis)
We have seen numerous slips of this kind.
The BBC's Mark Mardell, wrote of the latest attack by the latest 'coalition' on Libya:
'They felt it was their duty to intervene. We don't focus on this nearly enough. The Chinese didn't feel that way. Neither did the Russians. Nor the Indians. Or Brazilians…
'Why does the West feel this way, when no one else does? Is it a legacy of the enlightenment, a sense of responsibility and shared humanity? Or does it follow from colonialism, a feeling that it is their role to rule, that there is still a version of Kipling's "White Man's Burden", - the "savage wars of peace" - even if it is defined by geography, not colour.'
The media is good at telling us what our leaders really, truly feel. This time they 'felt it was their duty to intervene'; that is, their moral duty. In the absence of counter-balancing scepticism, this is just outrageous in ostensibly neutral journalism. When a reader emailed Mardell advising that we had entered him in 'The Hall of Propaganda Infamy' for these remarks, he replied:
'Staggering. It is so sad, when there is a real need for such an organisation that they are so thick and self absorbed.' (Email, forwarded March 21, 2011)
We responded to Mardell:
Sorry if you found our comments annoying…. The suggestion that the West perhaps feels it should take up the 'White Man's Burden' can also be read as positing a positive motivation. Kipling's words are often used to refer to the idea that the West, presuming intellectual and moral superiority, feels obligated to rule 'lesser races' for their own good. In other words, your comments can easily be interpreted as offering a choice between two benevolent motivations for Western actions: compassion and a sense of moral duty. A more appropriate counterpoint to a possible motivation of 'shared humanity' would be ruthless greed for power and profit regardless of the consequences for the people themselves. [We then cited Alan Greenspan's comments – see Part 1]
David Edwards (Email to Mark Mardell, March 21, 2011)
Mardell replied on March 21:
Yes I do see that point. I guess I should have been clearer. My presumption was that the reference to Kipling would reinforce the notion of an arrogant sense of mission. Personally, and these are my views not the BBC ..blah blah ..., I think that this veneer was always important to Victorian colonialism, while the looting and exploiting went on underneath the moral justification. I think how this translates these days is a pretty important debate to have, and that is what annoyed me : I was trying to get a debate going that I wasn't seeing much in the general media, not trying to justify the action.
Thanks, Mark
Underneath Mardell's blog, a poster had noted:
'I think you mean that cruise missiles are exploding in Libya, not Iraq. To my knowledge America is not launching missiles there.' (At 2:56pm on 20 Mar 2011, Will wrote, http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markmardell/)
Mardell must have made the same Freudian slip as Jonathan Marcus and many others, with the mistake subsequently being corrected.
Also on the BBC's website, political editor Nick Robinson declared:
'David Cameron will feel a sense of vindication tonight. An idea which was condemned as sabre-rattling, unworkable and unnecessary has been agreed after days of intense diplomacy.'
Once again, a senior BBC journalist had found instant vindication for a leader he was supposed to be holding to account.
The Anti-Iraq Model
Writing in the Independent, Mary Dejevsky comments:
'President Obama was elected on a platform that included not just a pledge to withdraw from Iraq, but a renunciation of everything the Iraq debacle stood for: the rush to military force, the idea of the US as the global gendarme, the proselytising of Western-style democracy, and the demonisation of Islam…'
This is pure fantasy, but let's run with it. Dejevsky continues: 'Such considerations led him to hold back over Egypt, despite much urging that he jump in sooner.'
The real reason, of course, was that Mubarak was 'our man'. No heroics were demanded of Obama; he just needed to cut off the supply of billions of dollars of weapons to the tyrant. As even the BBC observes, 'this supposedly anti-war president looks almost as warlike as President George W Bush'.
Dejevsky adds: 'Supporters of intervention will breathe a sigh of relief and hail this as the anti-Iraq model.'
The 'Iraq model': mass violence and mass killing, with war as the first resort.
The 'anti-Iraq model': mass violence and mass killing, with war surely not the last resort.
Dejevsky ends:
'And it is easy to conclude that eight years ago George Bush picked the wrong fight. If you want to foster democracy, why not invest in a country where opposition forces are already championing it on their own? But it is a bit late for such regrets now.'
It takes a special kind of mind to believe that Bush aimed to 'foster democracy' in Iraq.
The nation's most progressive mainstream newspaper, the Guardian, takes a similarly benign view of Western motives:
'Obama, who made reform and democratisation in the Arab world a key plank of his foreign policy when he spoke in Cairo in 2009, could not stand by and watch as Gaddafi crushed the uprising.'
And yet, as discussed in Part 1, Obama clearly can stand by while allied dictators kill numerous pro-freedom protestors with American weapons in Bahrain and Yemen. Again, there is precious little evidence that the US is interested in real 'democratisation', as opposed to pro-Western 'guided democracy', which is not democracy at all.
A Guardian blog found that the UN vote to take 'all necessary measures' to protect civilians in Libya 'is little short of a personal triumph' for David Cameron. The 'obvious parallel' is with the Kosovo crisis, the blog noted: 'Blair prevailed and the NATO military campaign was a success.' In fact, the campaign led to a major increase in atrocities, as Nato generals predicted in response to a 'genocide' that turned out to be a fraud. Is that success?
Also in the Guardian, Simon Tisdall argues that if the air campaign is successful, 'the revolution will have been salvaged'. As the magnificent Michael Moore Tweets on Twitter:
'Let's hear from the "liberals" who say this is a just war because we're protecting innocent Libyans--like that's what we do!' (http://twitter.com/MMFlint, 5:31 PM Mar 20th)
Tisdall adds:
'If Libya falls to democracy, then like-minded reformers in Bahrain and elsewhere will be greatly heartened.'
If Libya falls to non-guided democracy, a new 'rogue state' will have risen from the ashes of the old.
In a condition of near-total unawareness, Tisdall writes of our dear leaders: 'It's a story, as they would prefer to write it, with a happy ending, producing a newly independent country, and another friend for the west.'
A 'newly independent country' would naturally be 'a friend for the West'. This helps us translate 'independent' and 'friend', which actually mean tied and subordinate to Western power.
The Independent has serious concerns about the war: 'The West must be careful not to lose the propaganda war':
'The regime in Tripoli is claiming that 48 civilians were killed and a further 150 wounded by the initial Western strikes. Those figures have not been verified and the Gaddafi regime is likely to be exaggerating the numbers killed. Something similar took place in the 1999 Kosovo war, when Nato planes, enforcing a no-fly zone, were accused of killing a large number of Serbian civilians in the process.'
Unfortunately, the 'bad guys' are always making stuff up in this way. But what about the' good guys', including the media knights in shining karma? US Defence Secretary, William Cohen, said during the Kosovo war:
'We've now seen about 100,000 military-aged men missing... They may have been murdered.' (Quoted, Degraded Capability, The Media and the Kosovo Crisis, edited by Philip Hammond and Edward S. Herman, Pluto Press, 2000, p.139)
In their book, The Politics of Genocide, Edward Herman and David Peterson reported that US newspapers used the word 'genocide' 323 times in reference to the Kosovo conflict, in which some 4,000 people are estimated to have died on all sides. (Herman and Peterson, The Politics of Genocide, Monthly Review Press, 2010, p.35) The death toll in Iraq, by contrast, has been consistently undercounted by a factor of ten.
The Independent added: 'Allied to dangers of a reversal in the propaganda war is the threat of mission creep on the part of the Coalition.' The possible loss of the propaganda war is a 'danger' for the independent Independent – by which they mean, 'we' are backing the 'good guys'.
In 2004, former Nato chief General Wesley Clark put the 'good guys' in perspective. In a filmed interview with Democracy Now!, Clark recalled a conversation with a Pentagon general in September 2001:
'He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" — meaning the Secretary of Defense's office — "today." And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran."' (Transcript)
Clark added:
'The truth is, about the Middle East is, had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa. The problem is the opposite. We keep asking for people to intervene and stop it. There's no question that the presence of petroleum throughout the region has sparked great power involvement.'

American Corn Growers Association
Finances Related People Donations
With its all-American name, the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) brings to mind visions of Heartland cornfields and a simple farm life straight out of Grant Wood's "American Gothic." But in reality, ACGA represents a farming style more Cuban than American.
Founded in 1987, ACGA masquerades as a representative of the United States's many traditional corn growers. But the ACGA is really an organization that promotes a radically anti-business view of agriculture. ACGA's president Keith Dittrich summarized the group's views well in September 1999, when he said, "The fact is that an unregulated free market does not work for — nor does it exist — in agriculture … The only beneficiaries are the greedy multinational corporations."
ACGA hopes farmers and consumers will confuse it with the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA), the much larger mainstream organization that really represents corn growers. Unlike the ACGA, which has a Politburo-style structure in which the group's leaders issue position statements by fiat, the NCGA actually promotes policies set by its rank and file.
ACGA's real purpose is to promote organic corn and its producers, and to trash-talk genetically improved foods. Rather than concentrate on issues important to family farmers, ACGA's leaders and spokespeople travel around the world to work with Greenpeace, the fringe Natural Law Party (NLP), and other anti-food-technology organizations on activist campaigns targeting "corporate agriculture."
A group with a name similar to ACGA, the American Corn Growers Foundation, is also attached to the Association. While ACGA denies an official connection to the Foundation, the two groups share board members and a mailing address, and work together on a variety of projects. Money flows back and forth between the two groups as well.
ACGA and the Foundation are tied to most of the usual anti-capitalist suspects in the anti-genetic improvement movement (including the Campaign to Label GE Foods, the Center for Food Safety, Consumers Union, Environmental Media Services, Food First, Jeremy Rifkin's Foundation on Economic Trends, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Maharishi University of Management, the Natural Law Party, the Organic Farming Research Organization, the Pesticide Action Network, the Sierra Club, and Union of Concerned Scientists) through the Bolinas Group, an informal consortium of environmental and anti-biotech organizations that helps fund ACGA.
But unlike Greenpeace and some of the other large Bolinas Group players in the anti-biotech movement, ACGA and the Foundation have carved out a unique niche: They take on genetic improvement from an economic perspective.
Their game plan is simple. First they convince as many farmers as possible that growing biotech corn will cut off a huge sector of the international market and that organic corn can be sold at a premium price. Then ACGA's leaders catch a flight to Europe to join Greenpeace, the NLP, and other activists in trying to convince farmers and governments there that biotech has failed in the U.S. and should be rejected on the Continent.
The groups do this through farmer "education." Through the "Farmer Choice-Customer First" project, paid for by environmental and anti-biotech groups, ACGA and the Foundation teach farmers how non-biotech corn can be marketed.
In December 2001, they conducted a survey as part of the project that claimed one-half of U.S. grain elevators required GMO and non-GMO grains be separated. This "representative" survey consisted entirely of ACGA members, and was obviously biased — kind of like asking members of a politician's family who they plan to vote for.
Both ACGA and the Foundation stay in the news by issuing press releases and booking interviews whenever any story even remotely related to biotech breaks. Many of these releases appear on CropChoice.com, a "news" site created by "organizations [that] have expressed disdain for genetically modified crops, and many have worked actively to implement legislation to ban or regulate the technologies," as The Bangor Daily News reported in May 2000.
Along with ACGA, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, the Organic Farmers Marketing Association, the Sierra Club, Greenpeace USA, Food First, Environmental Media Services, Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, and the organic marketer-funded Center for Food Safety were among CropChoice.com's charter sponsors.
ACGA and the Foundation have blamed genetic improvement technology for everything from public health problems to trade imbalances. In December 2001, ACGA praised a report on Bt corn by Charles Benbrook published by the activist Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy and Genetically Engineered Food Alert. ACGA said Benbrook had shown biotech to be a "triple negative for farmers — lost corn exports, lower corn prices and less profit from Bt corn."
But the NCGA, which represents mainstream farmers, blasted the Benbrook report — and ACGA. Said NCGA executive vice president and CEO Rick Tolman: "The IATP report immediately lacks credibility because they use as their farmer organization spokesperson a representative of the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA). ACGA has much stronger ties to and support from the environmental extremists than they do from actual corn producers in the U.S. They are not credible representatives for U.S. corn growers."
And what if the media and the public mistake ACGA's position for that of the far more reputable and representative NCGA? Well, these things happen.
Blackeye
The ACGA has a history of profiting off confusion of its own making, especially exploiting the confusion between itself and the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA). The NCGA, which has about 10 times the membership of ACGA, represents mainstream farmers and is often diametrically opposed to ACGA on agriculture issues.
But ACGA thrives on confusion in other ways as well. In a December 1999 press release, ACGA claimed that the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) supported ACGA in calling for legislation that would allow a grain elevator to reject purchasing genetically improved crops. But NGFA had said no such thing, saying only that such an option could be adopted in areas where separation of GMO and non-GMO grain was under consideration.
This is a business and legal decision that country elevator managers need to make on their own based on their market area and the customers and buyers they serve, the NGFA responded, noting that NGFA supports biotechnology and other scientific and technological innovations that contribute to the availability of a safe, plentiful and high-quality food supply.
ACGA tried another bit of sleight-of-hand when dealing with the touchy case of Gary Goldberg, a former ACGA chief executive who was sentenced to five years probation in 2001 for attempting to purchase child pornography. Though ACGA very publicly accepted Goldberg's resignation, The Tulsa World reported that Goldberg continues to work as a grants administrator for the American Corn Growers Foundation.
For a group representing an archaic form of agriculture, the motivation of the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) is classically capitalist: to promote the business of its members. In that regard, ACGA functions almost as agents or a public relations firm for its handful of members.
ACGA's membership consists of farmers who have opted to never use genetic improvement technology. There are a few reasons why they make this seemingly irrational choice. For some it is a matter of personal political viewpoint, but for others it is a matter of economics.
With large farms offering safer, more abundant genetically improved grain products to a mass consumer market at the lowest prices, these ACGA farmers have decided to play to the small but wealthy group of organic consumers on the fringes of the marketplace, who will pay more for their non-GMO product.
But that market isn't growing fast enough for ACGA's taste. Like other "organic consumers" groups, ACGA smears the reputation of genetically improved products in an effort to create a larger market share for organic.
It's therefore no surprise that organic marketers praise ACGA as an organization representative of American agriculture. In June 2000, the organic publication Health Products Business called ACGA "very mainstream" for demanding "mandatory labeling of all GMO-containing foods."
ACGA manages big influence for such a small organization. The group has actively lobbied for changes in the 2002 federal Farm Bill, seeking benefits for the small farms that make up ACGA. As part of the "National Farm Action Campaign" created in December 2001 (along with the Northern Plains Resource Council and other groups) ACGA has challenged the "competition title" for beef in the farm bill, something that has nothing to do with corn.
This confused many farmers, who were led to believe the legitimate and mainstream NCGA opposed it, which was not true. ACGA president Keith Dittrich was forced to clarify: "I want to set the record straight that the AMERICAN Corn Growers supports the initiative — it was another corn grower organization [the NCGA] that didn't."

Personal email could be 2014's biggest threat to corporate data. A new survey of more than 500 professionals by Globalscape found that in the past 12 months, 63 percent of employees have used personal email to send sensitive work documents. Perhaps more surprisingly, 74 percent of those employees believe that their companies approve of this type of file-sharing behavior.
30 percent of employees have used cloud storage services for work-related files.
18 percent said they use alternatives because the company's tool does not offer mobile access.

Mariska Hargitay Is Jayne Mansfield's Most Famous Child, but She Also Has 4 Other Children
February 27, 2019 | by Cheryl Kahla
The 55-year-old actor, Mariska Hargitay, is most famously known for the portrayal of Lieutenant Olivia Benson in the NBC drama series "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
The acclaimed actor who began her career in mid-eighties has more than 50 film credits to her name, along with a list of nominations and awards.
However, it's often easy to forget that Hargitay is the daughter of the late Jayne Mansfield, an acclaimed actress and one of the first Playboy Playmates.

She was referred to as "Hollywood's smartest dumb blonde" and was fluent in five languages – English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian.
In addition, she has three other siblings, most of whom had stayed away from Hollywood, choosing to keep their private lives private.
Mansfield was the ultimate Hollywood bombshell from the film industry's Golden Era, but her life was sadly cut short at the age of 34 when she was involved in a devastating car accident.

Three of the children were on the backseat of the car, including Mariska, who was only five years old at the time. Back in 2018, Mariska opened up about losing her mother at such a young age.
She told People that the only way she could cope with the loss was to "lean into it," in order to get through it. Mariska explained:
"I've learned instead to really lean into it [...] I'm not saying it's easy, and it certainly hasn't been for me. There's been a lot of darkness. But on the other side things can be so bright."

Mansfield's eldest child is Jayne Marie, whom she shared with her first husband, Paul Mansfield. The couple only had one child and couple filed for divorce in 1956.
Jayne Marie tried to follow in her mother's acting footstep but didn't get far. Instead, she focused on raising her family.
Mansfield married her second husband, actor and bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay, just days after divorcing from Paul in 1958. The couple had three children – Miklos Jr, Zoltan, and Mariska Hargitay.

To keep things cool and operational, desktops are outfitted with intake and exhaust fans. These fans usually have a grille or dust filter of some sort covering them, that's probably lined with dust by now. So, your weapon of choice? The Metro DataVac. As opposed to compressed air that comes in disposable cans, the DataVac is a compact dusting unit with a 500W motor capable of producing 70CFM of air flow. Since I own one, I can say, yes, it pushes a lot of air and yes, it's quite loud when in use. Why would you use it rather than canned air? Because it's more powerful, cost effective, and comes with multiple nozzle attachments for different scenarios. Now that you're ready, let's get to it.
Turn off your computer and unplug all devices, peripherals, and cables from the desktop, including the power cable. If your power supply has an off switch, turn it off.
Move it somewhere you won't mind having dust everywhere, preferably outside.
Connect your DataVac to an accessible outlet nearby or get your cans of compressed air ready.
Remove both side panels and the front panel if possible. Dust filters too. Don't forget to check the bottom.
Clean them using the DataVac/compressed air. Be thorough and dust both sides.
For the internals, since the DataVac is quite strong, I'd suggest using it in short bursts and at a distance. Aim it at wherever you see dust, but not at the fans, yet.
For fans, due to the strength of the DataVac, it's recommended you hold onto a fan blade when dusting so it won't spin. While it may be entertaining, having a fan spin the opposite way or too fast can damage its internal components.
And that's pretty much it. Give everything a once-over before you put the panels back on. It doesn't need to be spotless as long as there are no visible dust bunnies hanging around. This is also the perfect time to redo your cable management.
Laptops are either easy to clean or a bit more involved. Since many trending systems now are focusing on portability, they feature a unibody design with no visible fans and minimal vents (if any). With these, there's not really much to clean aside from the exterior, screen, and keyboard, which a microfiber cloth will do. Take your time cleaning and be extra cautious on the display so you don't scratch it. Some water on the cloth can be used on stubborn smudges. Stay away from chemical solutions and rubbing alcohol because they could discolor the system or strip the lettering from keys. Also, consider getting a case or screen protector. As for systems with removable panels and larger vents, your best bet is a can of compressed air and some wet Q-Tips. When cleaning the vents, spray in bursts to prevent damaging the fans inside.
The keyboard is probably one of the filthiest items in your house, especially if you eat food over it. Seriously. Take a good look and see if you can spot the dust, grime, crumbs, hair, chips, and whatever else is hidden in between the keys. It gets even worse with greasy and Doritos-covered fingers, which invite more dust and things to stick to it.
Take a picture of your keyboard or leave a picture of one on your screen. If you know where every key goes by heart, good for you.
The naked keyboard is appalling, so shake it over a trashcan to remove the junk in there. For things that didn't fall off, pick at it (ugh) or use a brush. For sticky residue left over from soda and drinks, try using a slightly wet paper towel.
To clean the keycaps, throw them in a container of warm soapy water. Let them sit for ten minutes or so, stir if you feel like it, and then hand dry them with a towel.
Finally, put them back in place. Optimally, get a keyboard cover to keep your keyboard clean when it's not in use.
While you're at it, you might as well clean your mouse. Flip it over and clean whatever's latching onto the mouse feet, the sensor and the area around it, as well as the gaps in between the scroll wheel and buttons. For the exterior, some water on a cloth goes a long way. If you have a device with a rubbery coating, avoid chemical solutions and rubbing alcohol at all costs, because they can strip the coating away. Speakers can be cleaned too. Give them a light dusting with a soft brush or a microfiber cloth. Now that everything looks shiny and brand new again, continue practicing good hygiene habits.

Jill Dennett was a motion picture actress in Hollywood movies for a decade, beginning in 1932. She accumulated more than twenty screen credits, all of them in uncredited roles. She was an attractive redhead who was also a talented dancer and singer. Dennett was the daughter of comedy star Dave Kramer of the Kramer & Boyle act. In 1931 her eyes were insured by Lloyd's of London for $100,000. After a small part in Union Station (1932), Dennett appeared with her father on stage at the Hillstreet Theater in Los Angeles, California. Earlier she had established herself as a favorite on the vaudeville circuit. After playing Daisy, the girl of the pavements in Union Station, she was given a contract for two additional films by Warner Bros.. She next depicted an ingenue (stock character) in the The Tinsel Girl (1932), a film directed by Michael Curtiz. This was followed by her portrayal of Tart in Two Seconds (1932). This screen crime drama starred Edward G. Robinson and was directed by Mervyn Leroy.

A speech by Prince Harry at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory
I am sure Madiba would be pleased to see such great work being carried in his name, giving inspiration to so many.
The Duke of Sussex
I would like to thank Madam Machel - Graca - for inviting me to join you all this evening. It is a great pleasure for me to be here at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, in the company of those who knew him best, to remember Madiba.
It is not for me to try and put into words the impact that President Mandela had on South Africa, or a generation across the globe - those far more eloquent than I have already done so. However, I was fortunate enough to meet Madiba a number of years ago and I have treasured that memory ever since.
Although I have been to South Africa many times, this is my first Official Tour on behalf of The Queen. I have been keen to see how Mr. Mandela's values and his legacy are inspiring the next generation and shaping the future for South Africa.
I have visited a number of fantastic organisations over the last four days, supporting some of the most disadvantaged young people across the country. These organisations, although very different, are united in ambition; to unlock the huge talent amongst youth in South Africa regardless of background or circumstances and crucially on World Aids Day, the status of their health.
These organisations, which include the Nelson Mandela Foundation, are empowering the next generation of engaged South African citizens. This innovative centre of memory opens up history to help guide the future. I am sure Madiba would be pleased to see such great work being carried in his name, giving inspiration to so many.
I know that President Mandela worked tirelessly to protect everything that is special about this beautiful country for all future generations. To that end, I was pleased on this trip to lend my support to the conservationists who are fighting to protect South Africa's natural heritage, especially its critically endangered animals. Much of this work is a burden that South Africa bears on behalf of the entire world, and there is gathering momentum to support you in this urgent task. I was pleased to be able to discuss this with President Zuma this morning and share my hopes for the future.
I can think of no better way of ending my visit to South Africa than by joining you this evening to remember Madiba as we approach the anniversary of his passing. I know he is missed by a generation, a nation and most keenly by his family. However, he will never be forgotten.
I would like to end by thanking all the South Africans I have met over the last few days for their warm welcome and hospitality. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Barcelona are reportedly considering making a move for Liverpool target Mahmoud Dahoud.
The 21-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach ace is wanted by Reds' boss Jürgen Klopp and remains a primary target despite the manager having missed out on him last summer.
We did go back in for him again earlier this month but the Germans are having none of it. Instead, Liverpool are expected to make a fresh approach at the end of the season but they may now face some serious competition.
If Barcelona miss out on Marseille midfielder Maxime Lopez it is believed that they will turn to Dahoud which could prove a major stumbling block for the Reds.

Statism Fills Vacuum of Statistical Degeneration of the Family
By Whitney Dotson ( [email protected] ) Nov 08, 2016 04:42 PM EST Comment
Propaganda for Hitler Youth.
As of 2011, a whopping 47.6% of all households consist of homes headed by mothers. The fact of absentee fathers and the devastating effects on children in association with spiritual, emotional, and social troubles is hardly an obscurity anymore. What is less often known or acknowledged, however, is the philosophical and subsequent outcome of the degeneration of what Ronald Reagan so famously labeled the cornerstone of society: the family.
Since 1989, the threat to dispose of parental rights was embodied by a UN treaty under guise as Redeemer of child's rights. In addition, same-sex unions which violate the sacred definition and purpose of marriage were federally recognized and sanctioned, and federally supported abortion continue to challenge the very premise of life itself. For too long, government has rested in the minds of the US populace and elsewhere as a Benefactor of entitlements. The natural reaction to a vacuum is to fill it. Adolph Hitler knew this well and, in accurate spirit of the Statist worldviews toted by Marx and many of his contemporaries, responded with Hitler's Youth. If and when the institution of government becomes too powerful, it seeks to prey upon all that inhibit its growth. Fathers are natural guardians concerning what infiltrates their home. When that doorway ceases to exist, the home is left as prey. Unfortunately, a too-powerful government is more than willing to adopt children of its own. Rather than Servant, the institution swiftly assumes the role of Parent. Taking full advantage of this absence, a greedy government will foster dependence for its own advantage, in keeping with Hitler's slogan "He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."
In a 2013 campaign for the Lean Forward program, MSNBC host Melissa Harris Perry eerily echoed this ideology:
"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children...so part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities."
Perry's is the axiom of a practically atheistic society. Unless God is seen in His rightful place, government will be deified. Two temptations consist regarding a perspective on government. One point on the pendulum swings in favor of an all-encompassing, Parental overseer. The other condemns its utter existence as the root of all evil---respectively, the pendulum swings communism and anarchy. Social gospel-efforts remain a cheap imitation of Christ's Kingdom, however. The Scriptures tell is that a people perish for a lack of knowledge of the divine. The problem is rooted in a rejection of God's laws. These laws were carved on the simplest soul in furthest range from civilized contact as they were written on the hearts of men. Some call it conscience. Our forefathers acknowledged them as "natural" and "inalienable," "endowed by our Creator." Whatever the label, the age-old truth remains that where His laws are ignored, men will always displace them with his own, confusing oppression with power and progression. John Adams so aptly penned it, "Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all His laws."

Chi Dang is a professor, physician-researcher, renowned cancer biologist and hematologist-oncologist, who serves as director of the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
"After several decades of profound advances in our understanding of the genetics and molecular biology of cancer, it has become self-evident that metabolism and bioenergetics are regulated by cancer genes and are intimately linked to the growth and survival of cancer cells. The obesity pandemic connected to increased cancer risk further underscore the importance of a richer understanding of cancer and organismal metabolism. In this regard, Cancer & Metabolism is launched uniquely to fulfill the needs of a burgeoning field which is at the crossroads of many scientific disciplines."
Dr. Pollak is an internationally recognized expert in cancer endocrinology at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research of McGill University and a clinical oncologist at the Jewish General Hospital, Quebec, Canada.
"Cancer & Metabolism will provide a forum for rapid dissemination of research findings concerning metabolic factors that influence cancer risk and cancer pathophysiology, and cancer treatment. The scope of the Journal will allow for an interdisciplinary readership including cancer biologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, clinical trialists and population scientists."
Dr. Vander Heiden is Associate Director at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. His other roles include Instructor in Medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. Extensively published in over 140 peer reviewed articles and book chapters, his research interests focus on the metabolic processes of cancer cells, including how glucose metabolism affects tumor growth and how these studies may lead to new developments in targeted cancer therapy. A renowned innovative researcher in his field, Dr. Vander Heiden received the 2017 Philip A. Sharp Innovation in Collaboration Award from Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), complementing his past awards in molecular oncology.
Cancer & Metabolism publishes selected collections of research articles, conference proceedings, reviews and reports as supplements. While we build our new sites all supplements will be available here.
Cancer & Metabolism welcomes studies on all aspects of the relationship between cancer including Molecular biology and genetics of cancer.
We recognize that scientifically sound, high-quality manuscripts often receive negative decisions from high-impact journals on the basis of perceived general interest levels or the absence of extensive mechanisms supporting research hypotheses. As a niche journal, Cancer & Metabolism will consider rapid publication of such manuscripts if they are submitted together with the original peer reviewer reports, letter of rejection, and a brief rebuttal.
This review highlights the recent advances on the mathematical models of cancer metabolism.
Guest edited by Navdeep Chandel (on behalf of Cancer & Metabolism), Martin Brand, Andrew Murray, Jodi Nunnari and Peter Walter, this cross journal collection focuses on all aspects of mitochondrial function in cancer and metabolism.

Plastics|SA recently joined forces with environmentalists north of Durban, to fight ocean pollution by installing a litter boom at the Umhlanga lagoon. The boom was designed to trap litter and prevent it from entering the ocean and was launched in celebration of World Oceans Day on Friday.
This initiative was driven by the Umhlanga Urban Improvement Precinct, Plastics|SA, DPAPP, Durban Green Corridor, Umhlanga UIP, Upper Umhlanga Security Trust, KZN Recycling Forum, USE–IT, Tetrapak and DPI Plastics who sponsored the pipe needed to make the boom.
"Our aim is to reduce the amount of litter that washes into the sea from the Ohlanga river. The litter boom floats on the surface of the water and acts as a trap that prevents all the floating litter from washing down into the estuary and into the sea. It then allows for that litter to be collected at one point," Steyn explains, adding that the device does not pose a risk to any species found in the lagoon.
The local plastics industry is serious about taking action and working with all role players to beat plastics pollution. Plastics is a miracle material that is able to help save lives with its use in medical products and leads to safer food storage. For this reason, our message is clear: Plastic isn't the problem. It's what we do with it. Special environmental days help us to focus the spotlight on the importance of individuals, governments, the public and the private sector partnering with one another in finding solutions that will reduce the heavy burden of plastic pollution on our natural places, our wildlife and our own health.
