Studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences will prepare individuals to face a lifetime of challenging situations. The college encompasses a wide spectrum of departments in the humanities, the fine and performing arts, and the social sciences. By completing course work in a major field of interest, as well as in a variety of other subject areas, students acquire the analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills vital to critical thinking. Furthermore, students are exposed to diverse points of view and academic disciplines. These can help form values and outlooks conducive to a meaningful life, a rewarding career, and learning and intellectual growth in the future.
The basic mission of CLASS is vitally important to the university. The subjects that our faculty study and teach are at the heart of a well-rounded education. Human nature is the unifying focus of our disciplines. The social sciences study how human beings function in groups, how groups and societies interact with each other, and how groups empower or marginalize individuals or subgroups. The humanities explore how humans perceive themselves and the world, how belief systems and values inform the judgments and the choices people make, and how we communicate. And the fine arts reveal humans at their most creative-in their ability to shape and transform how we see, hear, and order the world around us. Such knowledge is fundamental to a high quality of life. It helps us become more culturally alive, and it also gives us the broad intellectual resources to help us analyze complex problems and to make difficult moral and social choices. In addition, it prepares us to earn a living. Indeed, because the economy is changing rapidly, the specific jobs skills of today may not be the same as those required tomorrow. An education in the liberal arts and social sciences, which prepares students with broad knowledge and transferable skills, is most likely to help students not only to find a place in the current economy but also to create new places for themselves as the economy grows and changes.
All students are strongly encouraged to consult with an academic adviser on a regular basis. The CLASS Advising Center is located in Room 221 of the Main Classroom Building and can be contacted at 216-687-5040.
The advising staff provides a wide range of services including information on college and university graduation requirements, information on academic regulations, preliminary evaluation of transfer credit, assistance in planning a course schedule, and help in preparing student petitions.
After declaring a major, students should also meet regularly with their major-field advisor to discuss course selection and long-range academic and career plans.
Although Liberal Arts and Social Sciences students must declare a major by the beginning of their junior year, they are encouraged to declare their major as soon as possible. By doing so, students are put into contact with the faculty members who will become their major-field advisers and mentors. By declaring a major early, students will also have more opportunities to work with faculty members and to participate in either the research or creative activities of their academic department.
Major programs may differ in the number and nature of credit hours required. In selecting a major, students should consider their own interests, aptitudes, and professional aspirations. Also, students should pay close attention to university, college, and major-field requirements and plan a schedule to ensure that they do not unnecessarily extend the period of time it takes to complete a degree.
To declare a major, contact the CLASS Advising Center, Main Classroom 221, 216-687-5040.
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offers a major for evening students in Communication. Requirements for this major, which are the same as those of the day majors, can be found under the heading of the School of Communication.
Before declaring a major in the evening program, a student should consult with the chairperson of the School of Communication to determine the pattern and frequency of offerings of evening courses. A student should also meet with a faculty adviser on a regular basis to discuss course selections, prepare a timetable for completing degree requirements, and receive advising on educational and career goals.
If a particular major field is not offered in the evening, contact the chairperson of the department to explore if possible alternatives exist.
Successful completion of a minimum of 120 semester credit hours, of which 42 semester credit hours must be earned in 300- and/or 400-level courses. (Transfer students: See note on Other Requirements below.) Credit toward the degree must be earned in: (1) introductory and advanced college courses in the liberal arts and social sciences, (2) those practical and technical courses taught by the departments of this university, and (3) those practical and technical courses acceptable to the departments and curricula of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
Achievement of a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 and other specifications as noted in the section on Graduation Requirements in the chapter on University Regulations.
Completion of the requirements, as set forth in this catalog, for a major field in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
The state entrance requirement, called the Foreign Language Deficiency, is two years of a single foreign language in high school or the equivalent (one year of university study). Students who graduated from high school prior to 1987 are exempt from this state requirement. See the section on Foreign Language Deficiency below.
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has an additional language requirement called the Foreign Language Requirement. Students completing three years or more of a single foreign language in high school will have fulfilled this requirement. See below for completion options.
All students seeking the B.A. degree must complete two courses in a single foreign language beyond the state entrance requirement. (See above). Students who graduated from high school prior to 1987 without taking a foreign language who are exempt from the state Foreign Language Deficiency may fulfill the college requirement by completing two foreign culture classes. Students should contact the CLASS Advising Center (Main Classroom 221; 216-687-5040) for more information.
The two courses used to fulfill the College requirement may be intermediate-level foreign-language courses at the university level in the same language used to meet the state entrance requirement. Or, students may complete two introductory-level foreign language skills courses at the university level in a single foreign language which is different from the one used to meet the state entrance requirement. Students should begin their language study at a level that reflects their current level of competency. Placement tests in French and Spanish and advising from the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures faculty can help determine the appropriate level. Students who repeat language courses taken in high school can count those credits toward graduation, but not toward the CLASS Foreign Language Requirement.
All students seeking a B. Mus. degree must complete two approved foreign culture courses or two courses in a foreign language beyond the state entrance requirement.
A student who wants to earn a second baccalaureate degree must meet all requirements of the university, college, and department for the second degree and must earn a 2.00 GPA or better for those hours taken to apply to the second degree. The student may receive both degrees by applying and paying the graduation fee for each.
A student may not earn the same baccalaureate degree twice: e.g., two B.A. degrees with different major fields. (See Earning a Second Major.) Also, a student majoring in Music cannot be awarded both the B.A. and B.Mus. degrees.
A student who seeks to earn a second degree in business, engineering or science must first apply to and be admitted into the College of Business Administration, the College of Engineering, or the College of Sciences and Health Professions. In such a case, a student will be matriculating in two colleges and will be subject to all of the requirements and regulations of each college.
Students may elect to complete the requirements for two major fields, provided both majors lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree and are offered by departments in either the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences or the College of Sciences and Health Professions.
In order to have both majors recorded on the transcript, both majors must be listed on the student's Graduation Application. Only one baccalaureate degree will be conferred.
The Foreign Language Deficiency (the state requirement) applies to all undergraduate students, including those who are not native speakers of English and students for whom English is a second language (unless specifically exempted in the policy on Foreign Language Requirement; for example, post-baccalaureate students). Such students, if deficient in foreign language studies credits upon admission to Cleveland State University, may remove the deficiency by completion of appropriate courses at Cleveland State (see policy on Foreign Language entrance requirement) or by verification of appropriate knowledge of the language through the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the university.
Verification of the student's knowledge of language and culture to remove the deficiency status will be assessed by a faculty member of the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures who is proficient in the applicable language. In the event no faculty member is proficient in the student's non-English language, the student may request assessment by an individual outside the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures who has been deemed qualified by said department to assess the student's knowledge of language and culture. Students should consult with the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures for more information about criteria and guidelines for language and culture assessment at 216-687-4646.
Students must complete the late registration process by the end of the first week of classes in the semester in which enrollment is sought. Students wishing to add a course after this deadline should refer to the academic calendar.
The privilege of carrying a maximum load of as high as 18 semester credits per term without petition is granted to any student with a sophomore or junior standing who has a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 and to any senior who has a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better.
Students who have less than the required grade-point average, or who wish to take more than18 credit hours, must submit a petition through the CLASS Advising Center in Main Classroom 221.
Courses at the 300- and 400- level in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences may not be taken by freshmen except with the written permission of the course instructor.
Postgraduate students should discuss the requirements for taking a graduate course with the College of Graduate Studies.
A student may withdraw from a course until the university's published date for withdrawal. If circumstances beyond the student's control arise which necessitate a withdrawal after this deadline, the student may submit a petition to the CLASS Committee on Academic Standards for consideration. The petition must state the specific reasons for withdrawal and include full documentation of the circumstances. The committee will not consider petitions that do not include clear documentation. To initiate a petition, contact the CLASS Advising Center in Main Classroom 221.
Each student is solely responsible for meeting all curricular requirements and for knowing and following all academic regulations and policies of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the university, and the major-field department. Students are urged to review all appropriate sections of this catalog, in particular the chapters on University Regulations and Academic Procedures and Academic Policies for the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
Petitions for a waiver of a requirement or for an exception to a regulation (either for the college or university) can be obtained from the CLASS Advising Center located in Main Classroom 221. Petitions involving past courses must be filed no later than one calendar year from the month the course ended unless extraordinary circumstances, which must be fully documented, make this deadline impossible.
Although students are responsible for knowing and fulfilling graduation requirements and for knowing and following policies and regulations, they can benefit from advisers who are available to assist them. Whenever in doubt, a student should consult his or her academic adviser for assistance.
High-achieving undergraduates in select College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences programs have the opportunity to earn a Master's degree with one extra year of study. 4+1 programs are available for the Bachelor of Arts in Communication/Master of Arts in Applied Communication Theory and Methodology, and Bachelor of Arts in International Relations/Master of Arts in Global Interactions. Students must meet eligibility criteria set by the academic department. Interested students should contact their faculty advisor.
Internships are available and may be required in some programs. These experiences place students in actual work settings related to their educational and career interests. Students will be able (or may be required) to register in a corresponding course, thereby earning academic credit. Students must meet eligibility criteria set by the academic department. Interested students should contact their faculty advisor.
Departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences may accept credit by examination for specific courses. The subject material to be covered, the method of examination, the minimal acceptable score/grade for passing, and the number of semester credit hours to be granted will be determined by the academic departments. Contact the faculty advisor for further information. Credit may also be earned through CLEP examinations, administered through the Testing Center.
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has articulation agreements with Cuyahoga Community College and Lorain Community College for those students who have completed or have been accepted to and intend to complete an associate degree in one of the eligible arts, humanities or social science programs. The articulation agreements enable the associate-degree holder to complete the degree of Bachelor of Arts in approximately two years of additional full-time study beyond the associate degree, and will facilitate the transfer of credits from the associate degree to the baccalaureate degree. Interested Cuyahoga or Lorain Community College students should contact their counselor/advisor or the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences' Advising Center. Cuyahoga Community College students who have not yet completed their associate degree are also encouraged to participate in the Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) Dual Admission Program.
Most departments of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offer credit for independent study conducted under the supervision of a member of the college's faculty. A student should contact the faculty advisor or a specific faculty member to inquire about independent study/research. Typically, students engaged in independent study/research have junior or senior standing.
Independent study/research is arranged with a specific professor who will determine the quantity and quality of work expected and the number of semester credit hours to be granted. In general, an independent study is intended for scholarly work not included in a department's formal course offerings, and it is offered only when a formal course is not available.
Although neither the university nor the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has a limit on the number of independent study courses that may be applied toward graduation, individual academic departments can limit the number that may be applied toward the major and/or minor.

Q: Two Webfonts (Google & Typekit) One as Fallback, how to avoid calls? Right now we have one font which is used the main font and comes from Typekit. We want to have a fallback from Google Webfonts. The Typekit Font is implemented with kit js.
Our problem right now is that we want to avoid calls to the different CDNs. We did not want to load two different fontsets. The font-stack would be look like that:
"Typekit Font", Google Font, Arial, sans-serif ....
My question is just really easy to answer. Is there an easy way to avoid this calls and to check out if the main font is not available? And load the other?
I am not a developer but I have handle with one and he says this can't be done. Just need some food for this developer to go on and do that.

A: You could first detect browser type using JavaScript, then load a set of CSS styles, each one containing a separate font family.  Media queries may also work.  Sorry, too many examples are out there to start.

A: It's a bit of a stretch, but you can probably use typekit's Font Events to conditionally load the Google Web Font if your typekit font emits an "inactive" event. The issue with this is that it may take up to 5 seconds for your font to "timeout", and your user will be left in the lurch while this process is happening.
I'd really suggest not doing this, and just using a decent CSS fallback.
That said, this JS should be a start (albeit an ugly one):
JS
<script type="text/javascript" src="//use.typekit.net/vio0gns.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  try {

  var config = {
      scriptTimeout: 3000 // tweak as necessary
    };

    Typekit.load({
      loading: function() {

      },
      active: function() {

      },
      inactive: function() {
         console.log('Font Timed Out');
         WebFontConfig = {
           google: { families: [ 'Balthazar::latin' ] }
         };
         (function() {
           var wf = document.createElement('script');
           wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
             '://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
           wf.type = 'text/javascript';
           wf.async = 'true';
           var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
           s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
         })();
      }
    })
  } catch(e) {}

</script>

Codepen Example  (the google font should load after 3-5 secounds)

NADH is a naturally occurring coenzyme that is present in every living cell and is involved in cellular energy production.
NADH is also known as coenzyme 1 and is a powerful antioxidant.
NADH is a very unstable substance that is extremely sensitive to light and oxygen.
Until recently, NADH was stabilized with a coating in tablet form. A new, patented production process involving micro-encapsulation with chlorophyll makes NADH available for incorporation in vegetable capsules.

New Amethyst Arsenic just released
By winterSmith on January 27, 2014
Poetry, fiction, music reviews, art and photography from one of the country's fine young independent online art and literature journals.
We've pointed you in the past toward Amethyst Arsenic, one of our favorite online literary and arts journals, and the Winter 2014 iteration is now posted.
This edition features fiction from Victor Infante, art by Jill Christian, a few music reviews (Nathan Payne, Found Audio, PowerSlut) and poetry from Maggie Blake, Ned Dougherty, Lo Galluccio, Jason Gordon, Amanda Nowakowski, Chad Parenteau, Caitlin Scarano, Theadora Siranian, Dante Di Stefano and Meg Tuite, to name a few. I haven't worked my way through the whole issue yet, but I was instantly taken by Suad Ali's "Shamal Season," which captures a moment in the existence of a poor servant in the employ of a sheikh. In doing so, it appeals to the senses in artfully illustrating the gulf between those at the top and the bottom of the food chain.
Imagine being so grateful for so little. The poem immediately recalled a 2008 post by our colleague Gavin Chait, where he explored the painful process of emigrating from his home in South Africa. The most poignant moment in that tale concerned the plight of his housekeeper and the struggle to confront what his leaving might mean for her and her family.
Sadly, these stories are all too universal in a world where 85 people own more than than half the planet's wealth. Statistics are dry and hard to empathize with, but here Ali makes the rich-poor gap a palpable thing, and does so by deftly focusing not on the squalor, but on a moment of comparative pleasure and happiness.
Temple of Glass: Chihuly Garden & Glass, Seattle Center
And now, the shameless self-promotion. I have in the past been fortunate enough to have my poetry featured in AA. But as we know, I have retired from poetry. Now I'm a photographer, and darned if they aren't featuring three of my favorite recent shots. I don't know how often the same artist appears in a publication for both his/her writing and visual art, but it can't happen all that often. I'm terribly thankful to Editor and Publisher Samantha Milowsky for providing me the forum. She's a multi-talented woman, to say the least, and I'm honored to again appear in such a well-regarded journal.
The three shots were all taken here in my new home in Seattle. In fact, all three center on one complex – Seattle Center, where you'll find the Space Needle, the EMP Museum and Chihuly Garden and Glass. I hope you'll pop over and have a look at my photography, and then please take a few minutes to explore the writing.
Support independent artists, writers and publishers. Imagine where the world would be without them.

DSDHA's HAB Oakus housing project in Cashes Green has been given a CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) Award by its Gloucestershire Branch in recognition of the project's outstanding contribution to the environment and to the communities in the local area.
We weren't just interested in somewhere to live, but a place where the community would work together. We used to have it when we grew up, wanted it back again and Applewood has it. That sense of community. The individual bits - the houses, the allotments, the green space - all add up to something bigger than the parts. We're lucky to have the best of everything here - between the countryside and the vibrant, creative stuff going on in Stroud.

Sen. Lito Lapid is allegedly the subject of Ombudsman's probe, U.S. assets questioned
InterAksyon.com reports that Senator Lito Lapid is currently the subject of the "discreet inquiry by the Office of the Ombudsman." The anti-graft agency's "curiosity" was allegedly picqued shortly after Lapid's wife, Marissa was "caught red-handed by U.S. authorities with some $50,000 at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on January 15."
InterAksyon.com reports that Senator Lito Lapid is currently the subject of a "discreet inquiry by the Office of the Ombudsman." The anti-graft agency's "curiosity" was allegedly piqued shortly after Lapid's wife, Marissa, was "caught red-handed by U.S. authorities with some $50,000 at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on January 15." The report noted that Marissa is out on bond and is currently staying in a family-owned house at No. 2055 Buffalo Drive in Las Vegas.
InterAksyon also revealed: "Lapid acquired the Buffalo Drive house and another Las Vegas house in Bugler Swan Way, with a combined cost for the two assets of over $1 million; and a P25-million duplex in Baguio City the past six years. All of these are not included in the senator's statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) filed in April 2011, according to his close associates." The said associates were not named in the report.
However, InterAksyon.com pointed out that "neither Lapid nor any of his staff could confirm or deny having received notice of an Ombudsman inquiry, much less talk about it. They all turned down News5's repeated requests for an interview since early February."

The sea wolves color up the Great Bear Rainforest
Sea Wolves are a unique animal that lives in the rainforest along Canada's Pacific coast. They are genetically different from other wolves in any other part of the world, and also coastal wolves can swim like otters and fish like the bears with whom they share the rainforest.
By Ziya Tong
"Wolves are very, very intelligent animals, we respect them, and they respect us." Said William Housty. He was born and raised here, and also he chairs the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department Board. He has shared stories of living alongside these beautiful howlers in his home territory. He continued it, if someone is walking through the creek beds of the Great Bear Rainforest, that can see decapitated salmon scattered that area. It signs you that sea wolves have been in the area. Actually, they eat the head alone, and it might also be a way to avoid "salmon poisoning". "They just take a bite take out of the head, and everything else is left fully intact" he elaborated.

Sci-TEK strategy is an integrative approach to studying the wolves, and it pairs with traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) with modern science. Paquet, and other scientists who work in the Heiltsuk territory, have taken this approach. This strategy is made with different ways of knowing and evidence from multiple sources, to develop a more holistic understanding of the wolves. It revealed many fascinating things about coastal wolves and their habitat.
Sea wolves are also known as marine wolves, and they are recognized as fast and powerful swimmers. Housty expressed his experience in this way,
(Photo: Kyle Artelle)
"We looked ahead of us and we could see something in the water. We couldn't tell what it was, but it was moving. As we got closer, it was actually two wolves swimming across the channel."
They are distance swimmers, and when they swim, they move stealthily in the water—only their eyes, ears, and snouts peeking above the surface. Many of Sea wolves migrate through the archipelago, swimming from island to island throughout the year. Typically they are tracking the salmon. But they have a diverse diet, and A recent study found that it can be up to 90 percent marine-based. Lone wolves hunt seals and otters, and someone eats whale carcasses occasionally. They also eat shellfish by using their powerful jaws to crack open the shells of mussels.

A Heiltsuk Elder has pointed out key differences between the mainland and marine wolves. Even though the two are close neighbors geographically, Subsequent testing has revealed that sea wolves are a distinct ecotype. Scientists have had to look to a non-invasive technique to get more data about sea wolves. Scientists use faeces to know more about sea wolves as a rich source for their research, and also they have obtained DNA from faeces. After passing more than a decade and 7,000 scat samples, Scientists could take a much clearer picture of the wolves' ecology and physiology status. These Scats have revealed information about their genetics and hormone levels, and the types of parasites and bacteria they harbor. Their dropped Hair and bone fragments show the details of their prey. These Scat samples offer a different form of location mapping, offering data on the animals' range their habitat.
Housty and Paquet elaborated on three main treats of coastal wolves. They are currently facing industrial logging, climate change, and trophy hunting. Industrial logging destroys the rainforest habitat of both the wolves and their prey. Climate change is also badly affecting their food, habitats, and their lifestyle.
Today, wolves are mainly safe from the threats of logging and hunting in Heiltsuk territory. It only 11 percent opens to industry, and 55 percent of this land is protected for animals. The rest is also holding with under ecosystem management. Since 2005, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation has raised funds to buy out all the remaining hunting licenses in the Great Bear Rainforest and Kitlope Conservancy. This foundation work to taking a permanent end to commercial trophy hunting in 38,800 square kilometers of B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest as a highly effective campaign.
Housty estimated that this year, the wolf numbers are up in his territory. Anyone can see a lot of sea wolves with white muzzles in the Heiltsuk territory. It says the longevity of Sea wolves on the coast. Scientists and nature lovers have accomplished one of the nature goals. It is the best example of what can be accomplished when both groups work side by side on conservation. Like we humans, we should protect the rest of our participants in mother nature. You can see wonderful captures of Sea wolves with this article. See them and think how beautiful the sea wolves are.

De kiesdistricten van Ilocos Norte (Engels: Legislative Districts of Ilocos Norte), District 1 en District 2, zijn de twee administratieve gebieden waarin de Filipijnse provincie Ilocos Norte is ingedeeld ten behoeve van de verkiezingen voor het Filipijns Huis van Afgevaardigden. Beide kiesdistricten heeft een eigen vertegenwoordiger in het Huis van Afgevaardigden. Elke drie jaar kunnen de inwoners in beide districten een nieuwe vertegenwoordiger kiezen. Sinds de nieuwe Filipijnse Grondwet van 1987 kunnen dergelijke afgevaardigden slechts drie termijnen achtereen in het Huis worden gekozen.

Sinds 1907 kent de provincie al twee kiesdistricten. Tussen 1972 en 1987 bestond het Filipijnse Huis van Afgevaardigden niet en werd de indeling in kiesdistricten dus ook niet gebruikt. Van 1978 tot 1984 werd de provincie Ilocos Norte in de Interim Batasang Pambansa vertegenwoordigd door twee afgevaardigden die behalve Ilocos Norte ook de overige provincies van Regio I vertegenwoordigden. Van 1984 tot 1986 had Ilocos Norte weer twee afgevaardigden in de Reguliere Batasang Pambansa. Deze politici werden echter niet per kiesdistrict gekozen, maar door alle stemgerechtigden van de provincie. Vanaf 1987 werden de twee kiesdistricten weer in ere hersteld.

1e kiesdistrict

Gebied:  Laoag, Bacarra, Bangui, Pasuquin, Piddig, Sarrat, Vintar, Burgos, Pagudpud, Adams, Carasi, Dumalneg
 Bevolking (2020): 311.977

2e kiesdistrict

Gebied:  Badoc, Banna, Batac, Dingras, Paoay, San Nicolas, Solsona, Nueva Era, Pinili, Currimao, Marcos
 Bevolking (2020): 297.611

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined by international affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda to discuss where we could be heading towards war in outer space.
On Tuesday, Russia said that the U.S. Global Missile Defence System is posing a threat to free and safe use of outer space. With Russia and China both opposed to the buildup of U.S. anti-missile systems around the world and the new arms race taking shape, will the new Cold War extend even beyond the earth?
Ahead of the battle to retake Mosul from the so-called Islamic State, Turkey has refused to withdraw its troops from Iraq. As confrontation heats up between Ankara and Baghdad, will the war against Daesh be followed by yet another bloody regional conflict? Becker is joined by journalists Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou to talk about the plans of President Erdogan in Iraq.
During the protests in Ferguson and Baltimore against the murders of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray, the police got extra help from social media networks and a tech startup that helped them to track activists. What does the newest revelation about the surveillance state tell us about the war on dissent and protest? Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, discusses the revelations.

Floods claim more than 800 lives across India, Nepal and Bangladesh: Story by The Guardian
More than 800 people have been killed and 24 million affected following widespread floods across south Asia. Severe flooding has devastated communities and destroyed crops in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, with NGOs warning of food shortages and the risk of disease.
In Bangladesh, where the floods are thought to be the most severe in 100 years, more than a third of the country has been submerged. Najibullah Hameem, chief of field office for the UN children's agency, Unicef, in Bangladesh, told the Guardian on Monday that water levels are now going down, but that aid workers are running out of crucial supplies needed to protect communities from disease. At least 115 people have died and more than 5.7 million are affected. "The need is huge and our resources are limited. We cannot respond to all of what people require in this situation," he said. "[Agencies had made plans based] on last year, when the flood was not serious like this. We had not expected the number of communities that are currently affected."
Last week, most government departments had run out of medicines and items such as jerry cans, tarpaulin and water purification tablets. Supplies have since been replenished, but are still short of demand. Survivors of the flood are returning to find their homes destroyed, Hameem said. "In terms of water level the situation is improving but there might be rain again, and if so the waters will go up again. They need to repair their houses – some are completely washed out. We are expecting more medical issues and disease."
Unicef is trying to collect information on children affected by the floods, who may have been separated from their families, or be at risk of drowning and snakebites. In four of the districts most severely affected, all schools are closed, leaving children unable to finish their exams, which are held over the summer months. Mark Pierce, country director for Save the Children in Bangladesh, warned that the central and southern areas of the country now face devastation as flood waters flow from the north.
"An enormous volume of water has to pass through the country, and people need to take care, stay away from flood waters and evacuate their homes as necessary. The humanitarian situation remains extremely serious and will be for some time. The sheer scale of this crisis means there still isn't enough food or clean drinking water. More than half a million homes have been damaged while over 400,000 hectares of farmland was destroyed. We're doing all we can to help, but much more assistance is urgently needed," said Pierce.
In the Indian state of Assam, which borders Bangladesh, at least 180 people have been killed in the past few weeks. "With the floods washing away everything … there is not even a trace of our small thatched hut," said Lakshmi Das, a mother of three, living in Kaliabor, Assam."We do not even have a second pair of clothes to wear. The government is not providing any aid."
Ravikant Upadhyay, team leader of Assam flood response for Care India, said communities have been devastated. "The embankment of rivers in many areas have been breached, forcing over 400 families to stay in extremely unhygienic conditions. Most people have lost everything including important documents. Schools are submerged under eight feet of water. Overall, the flood survivors are very worried and in dire need of support," he said.
In the eastern Indian state of Bihar, at least 253 people lost their lives. Heavy rains have destroyed crops, roads and disrupted power supplies. Thomas Chandy, CEO of Save the Children in India, warned of a secondary health crisis as flood waters began to retreat in some areas."Even though we're seeing flood waters receding in some parts, it provides little respite as the mammoth recovery operation is only just beginning," Chandy said.
"One of the big challenges is preventing potential outbreaks of disease like cholera or diarrhoea, which is an increased risk at this time. A lot of water sources have been contaminated by the floods, and many children are living in damp conditions that are conducive to getting sick."

Last Friday, The Peacock Room handed me a memorable experience. That night, I DJed in between band sets. Recently, my gigs happened in the bar area. There, at a table, I perform my mixes.
Tonight, a local DJ borrowed the PA system for a wedding gig, an incident forcing me to DJ behind the bar counter. If vinyl was my weapon of choice, I wouldn't have been able to hook-up to the stereo system behind the bar. Using two turntables and a mixer would have cost me a gig. Good thing I use a laptop.
The first band played 80s and 90s rock music. One song was Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way".
Bret and a friend of his laughed.
The next band played original songs and cover songs. One song I recognized as Jimi Hendrix's. I forgot which one.
Trans Am was the last and final band. A friend of mine was dating the guitarist. These dudes looked between ages 35 to 50. Also, I think I've seen the singer around Central Florida since the 90s.
Like the first band, they performed rock covers including Ratt's "Round and Round". At the end of their set, they threw me for a loop. Catering to the women, they performed Prince's "Purple Rain". You read me right. After playing songs and songs of rock-n-roll, the played Prince.
Actually, Prince is rock. Yet, you can't convince this to rock stations who won't play the man. But they'll play a white rock band who covers his music.
Trans Am reinforced a lesson I read before. When people expect you to lean one way, throw the loop on them. Trans Am could've ended the night with a white group's hard rock song, which would have been expected. Yet, they closed their set with Prince, something the whole bar appreciated.


Adopt a data culture to back your storytelling.
What is the most effective dashboard in the country for impacting user behavior? I'll give you a hint, it deals with focused, real time data from a complex system, that we guarantee you have seen before.
Any guesses? Ok, time's up. The most impactful dashboard in the country is a car dashboard. It gives you the best predictive outputs that determine if you will get to your destination safely and on time.
The car dashboard is so effective at turning data into action due to one simple reason - it is the perfect feedback loop - you do a thing and the data change right in front of you. If the needle moves past a speed limit, it is telling you to slow down immediately unless you want that ticket.
Right now there is more big data on organizational performance than can possibly be understood and acted upon. Feedback loops ultimately hold the keys to unlocking the real organizational potential of big data.
Custom aggregated dashboards can be powerful and very attractive. There is something very satisfying about having every number you need in one place should you or your team choose to look there. Even when the team may be looking at these dashboards, having too many metrics can make it difficult to see the forest from the trees.
So, even though I know it won't solve the problem of turning data into action, here are some quick resources for dashboards. There are tons out there so please don't spend money to make a bespoke dashboard before trying out what others have built.
Build a Google Analytics Dashboard - You can create a custom dashboard in Google Analytics that pulls only the most important data from your weekly or monthly traffic.
There are tons of dashboard proliferation going on around us as data become more abundant. Every social platform, web analytics, health app and hot new tracking company has YAD (yet another dashboard). The YAD epidemic is making its rounds on the Interwebs. While these are ultimately helpful when you need to dig in, they can make it very easy to get lost in a sea of metrics. Imagine if your car dashboard also started giving you your tweet reach, new visitors, Facebook impressions, bounce rate, airspeed, and hundreds of other extraneous metrics? I'm pretty sure accident city would be the next stop.
We need to think of ways to build in habits and systems that deliver the right data at the right frequency. Many data management systems have ways of setting up automated messaging - Google Analytics has intelligence alerts and email dashboards. Salesforce also has a way to automate dashboard emails.
At Whole Whale, we became obsessed with the idea of building a feedback loop that helps nonprofits adopt a data culture and be able turn data into action. We also happen to know many people begin to ignore data emails so we turned to SMS as our data courier. We created All Good Text, a free simple tool that equips every nonprofit with a Data Watchdog who tirelessly fetches data to set in place a short and consistent data feedback loop. Turtle the watchdog keeps a leash on the three Google Analytics and YouTube metrics that you identify as the most critical to your organization. She texts you just once a week those three metrics to let you know how you are doing compared to the previous week.
Unless your metrics are all good, our Data Watchdog will not refrain from barking passive aggressive comments to make sure you fix the situation. Hearty chuckles are an intentional byproduct.
Data neither has to be burdensome nor boring. Regardless of which tool you choose, make sure that you are plugged into a feedback loop that not only informs but also nudges you to act on your data. It can't hurt to bring a Data Watchdog along for the ride.
Taming the Measurement Monster When measurement is built into the process from the very beginning, it can help you deploy your stories in a more effective way.

James V. McConnell (26 de octubre de 1925 - 9 de abril de 1990) fue un biólogo y psicólogo de animales estadounidense. Debe su fama sobre todo a sus investigaciones sobre el aprendizaje y la transferencia de memoria en planarias, llevadas a cabo en los años 50 y 60.

McConnell realizó la mayor parte de su carrera académica en el departamento de psicología de la Universidad de Míchigan, de la que fue profesor desde 1963 hasta su jubilación, en 1988. Fue un científico poco convencional, que editaba su propia revista científica, el Journal of Biological Psychology. Esta revista se editaba unida al Worm Runner's Digest, una revista de humor sobre las planarias. En un primer momento, McConnell publicaba tanto artículos serios como satíricos en el Journal, pero algunos lectores se quejaron de que resultaba difícil, por no decir imposible, distinguir unos de otros. Por ello, decidió publicar el Digest con las hojas orientadas al revés, cabeza abajo respecto al Journal, para dejar claro qué artículos eran satíricos; pero esto creó a su vez problemas, pues algunas bibliotecas devolvían el Journal a la editorial creyendo que les había llegado un ejemplar mal encuadernado. McConnell encontraba sumamente divertido todo el asunto.

Su estudio «Transferencia de memoria a través del canibalismo en planarias», publicado en el Journal of Neuropsychiatry, sostenía que las planarias que devoraban a otras planarias que habían sido condicionadas para responder a un estímulo aprendían a responder a dicho estímulo más rápido que otras planarias. McConnell consideraba esto una evidencia de que la memoria tiene una base química, una sustancia distribuida por el cuerpo a la que denominó «memoria ARN». Aunque sus hallazgos recibieron abundante publicidad, otros científicos no pudieron reproducirlos, y por tanto cayeron en el descrédito; sin embargo, a finales de los 90 se descubrió que había muchos tipos de moléculas de ARN, y que la función de éstas era más compleja de lo que se creía, lo que abre la puerta a una revaluación de los experimentos de McConnell, siempre y cuando se logre replicarlos.

En los 60, pasó muchas tardes conversando con sus alumnos en sus habitaciones. Le gustaba hacer afirmaciones provocadoras. Convencido de que la memoria tenía una base química, solía decir que en el futuro se programaría a la humanidad mediante drogas, de modo que una persona pudiera aprender a tocar la guitarra o memorizar la obra completa de Shakespeare ingiriendo una pastilla o mediante una inyección. En una ocasión comentó que preferiría ser programador que programado.

McConnell fue una de las víctimas de Theodore Kaczynski, Unabomber. El 15 de noviembre de 1985 McConnell recibió un paquete al que acompañaba la siguiente nota:  «Me gustaría que leyese este libro. Cualquiera en su posición debería leerlo». El ayudante de McConnell, Nicklaus Suino, abrió el paquete, que resultó ser una bomba. A consecuencia de la detonación, McConnell sufrió una pérdida de audición permanente.

A Thing of Beauty: Travels in Mythical and Modern Greece (Paperback)
Peter Fiennes (author)
LONGLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2022
'Peter Fiennes's road trip around Greece [is] engagingly described' Mary Beard, TLS
'Fiennes is a brilliant and generous guide through Greece' Observer
What do the Greek myths mean to us today?
It's now a golden age for these tales - they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what's the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what's to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled?
Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes - stunning and spoiled - on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the 'most beautiful beach in Greece', consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.
'Peter Fiennes's road trip around Greece - engagingly described in A Thing of Beauty - began with a visit to Lord Byron's house... Fiennes's tough talk and his down-to-earth refusal to put up with pretentious silliness contributes a lot to the pleasure of the book... [he] is well attuned to the ambivalence of hope.'
-- Mary Beard, Times Literary Supplement
'Fiennes is a brilliant and generous guide... a must-read.'
-- Alex Preston, Observer
'This book is a lament for a poisoned planet... He goes in search of the numinous but relishes the bathos of modernity... not so much a travelogue as an excursion into the psyche of Anthropocene man.'
* Literary Review *
'A wonderful book by a wonderful writer.'
-- Tom Holland
'A wonderful... really profound meditation on what it means to hope... a gorgeous excursion into Greece and across the centuries on an environmental quest'
* BBC Radio 4 Open Book BOOK OF THE YEAR choice by Anita Roy *
'A Thing of Beauty is an immensely pleasurable read. It takes you on an adventure around Greece and the myths that the ancients told there. But what really stayed with me were the reflections on storytelling, joy, and hope. Essential reading for our pandemic and pollution ravaged times.' -- Helen Morales, author of Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths
'Peter Fiennes has a way of making even the most serious of subjects enjoyable and riveting to the end, and A Thing of Beauty is certainly no exception, this is great travel writing that makes the reader a part of the adventure, and one of the most engaging and enjoyable books I've read this year.'
-- Pilgrim House
'A deeply humane travelogue, a beautifully written book of stories, A Thing of Beauty is a siren song for Greece and a generous and precious gift - a classical education for those of us who are bereft of one.'
-- Patrick Barkham, natural history writer and author of Wild Child
'Peter Fiennes... follows in the footsteps of Pausanias, Lord Byron and others to rediscover some of the most evocative landscapes and sites from classical myth.'
-- Argo
'A Thing of Beauty is an entertaining, erudite travelogue through Greece, both ancient and modern.'
* Foreword Reviews *
'an evocative and informative book... It's for anyone interested in the Greek Gods and their myths, the Greek countryside and wildlife, Greek politics and history, climate change and sustainable living, whether there's any hope in the world today... and just how many Greek salads can one man eat? If you're interested in more than one of those topics, it's definitely the book for you.'
* Greece Travel Secrets *
'Fiennes sets out to explore the birthplace of Western civilization, Greece, in search of Hope... It's a highly personal travelogue...with the historical and modern-day detail that late British travel writer Jan Morris might bring to the task.'
-- Booklist, starred review
'Passionate and lyrical'
* Publishers Weekly *
'An enjoyable journey through Greek myths and modernity in [Fiennes's] search for hope, beauty and new understanding of our world.'
* Choice Magazine *

Tennessee Fields
Three Weeks to go – and what a beautiful day! (Press release)
It's only 3 weeks until Dixie Fields – Essex's first country music festival, scheduled for the weekend 12th-14th July 2019. What started as a small family dream has now become the real deal. This boutique country music festival, listed by the Telegraph last month in the top 50 UK festivals this summer, has attracted some serious Nashville and UK talent.
Earlier in the year Dixie Fields surprised a few people by naming ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year and American Idol star Lauren Alaina as the festival's first headliner. In 2017 Alaina had become the only female to top both Billboard country charts when Road Less Traveled topped the Country Airplay chart and What Ifs topped the Hot Country Chart and the album's popularity continued to grow through 2018. Alaina wins hearts with her warm stage personality and her honesty about personal issues as well as her undeniably gorgeous voice. This will be only her second appearance in the UK.
Dixie Fields is proud to present "Britain's first country stars" Ward Thomas as second on the bill. Twins Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas were the first UK country act to reach No 1 in the UK all-genre album charts with their second album Cartwheels and are now officially the most successful UK country act ever. Their style is developing: their future exciting.
Lauren Alaina and Ward Thomas will be joined at Dixie Fields by Holloway Road, Royal South, Jackson Michelson, Megan O'Neill, Remember Monday, Hannah Paris, Gary Quinn, Stevie O'Connor, Lucy Blu and the Jackson Line.
And it's not just music on offer…
The festival kicks off on the evening of Friday 12th July with an outdoor cinema showing of Alaina's Road Less Traveled film (rarely seen in the UK). Over the weekend there's country karaoke, a songwriter's workshop, line dancing, mobile recording studio (your chance to shine!), campfire acoustic sets and the pleasure of an outdoor summer's day in good company. They'll also be some serious BBQ on offer, as well as a complimentary American style brunch served for campers on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Dixie Fields has certainly grown from Georgie and Frank Thorogood's initial idea of utilising the family farmland bordering Hylands Park, which had previously been rented to the V Festival. The family have learned a lot over the last few months about the detail of festival organisation and dealing with big time Nashville agents, and very soon, their dream will become a reality. Nashville will arrive in Essex for an amazing weekend of Dixie culture and true country music.
Information on some of Dixie Fields's other acts…
Royal South are an original Nashville powerhouse trio, featuring Dallas-born SaraBeth, Vickie Vaughn (Kentucky) & Glen Mitchell (from Essex!) They've been described as offering, "Some southern twang, a British accent and undeniably brilliant three-part harmony".
Jackson Michelson is an Oregon native and now Nashville resident. He's performed with the likes of Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton and Zac Brown Band and will be making his UK debut performance at Dixie Fields.
Megan O'Neill is a multi-award winning Irish country star who has played C2C, Nashville Meets London, Black Deer. Her music was featured on ABC's hit TV drama Nashville.
Remember Monday made music headlines this year as the first trio to turn all the judges' chairs on ITV's talent show The Voice. They're now working with Jennifer Hudson.
Holloway Road is a high-energy Essex country music act, born and bred in the county but making a name for themselves across the UK, US and beyond.
Gary Quinn has won multiple British Country Music Association awards for best male vocalist and organises the annual Buckle'n'Boots festival.
The boutique country music festival will take place on the weekend of 12-14th July 2019 on farmland bordering the beautiful Hylands Park, near Chelmsford, Essex. Tickets are on sale now for Dixie Fields festival from www.dixiefields.com
Dixie Fields will be supported in 2019 by Chris Country Radio – the UK's country station.

On 23 March 2016, European Union Trade Mark Regulation (EU) 2015/2424 came into force. The new Regulation amends Community Trade Mark Regulation 207/2009/EC, and makes a number of procedural and substantive changes to EU trade mark law. Most of the new Regulation's provisions are effective immediately, with the remainder scheduled to come into force in October 2017.
The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) will now be known as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). As part of this change, the EUIPO has launched a new website.
The "Community Trade Mark" will now be known as a "European Union Trade Mark" (EUTM).
The definition of trade mark has been expanded by removing the requirement for the mark to be "capable of being represented graphically". Trade marks may now qualify for registration where they are represented in any form using generally available technology (for example by way of an electronic soundfile).
The provisions relating to protected geographical indications (PGI) and protected designations of origin (PDOs) have been simplified.
A new right to prohibit preparatory acts has been introduced.
Revisions have been made to the defences to infringement and the absolute grounds for refusal.
New provisions relating to "transit goods" have been introduced, entitling trade mark owners to block the entry of infringing goods in all customs situations (e.g., transit, transhipment, warehousing, temporary storage etc.).
The fee structure for EUTM applications has been amended.
In advance of these changes, OHIM (now EUIPO) published a new version of its guidelines on Trade Mark Practice and Designs, which are designed to be compatible with the changes introduced by the new Regulation. The guidelines came into force on the same day as the new Regulation.

Q: How do we get recognition for the CDM credential?
A: There are two ways to go about it. The first is through the regulatory process. This involves contacting state regulatory officials that deal with health care dietary services and working with them to change the regulations. The regulatory process differs in each state, but usually it involves opening the books for review. Once the books are opened, changes are proposed, comments on proposed changes are made, and final rules are adopted.
The second method is to go through the legislative process. If the books can't or won't be opened through the regulatory process, you can ask a state legislator to introduce a bill to gain recognition. Through this method, you can help create the language you want, and work with state representatives and senators as the bill moves through the legislative process.
Q: How do I decide which legislators to make contact with?
A: Whatever your Impact Team goals, it is a good idea to get to know state legislators. The best way to start is with your own state representative and senator. They have a vested interest in talking with you — you vote for them! Call up the district office of your state senator and representative and ask to meet with them. Tell them what your priorities are. Ask them about the legislative process and with whom else you should be meeting. Follow up with them — send a thank you card after your meeting, call to ask about bills that are of interest to you, arrange to take a tour of the capitol. These legislators will enjoy meeting a constituent and you will gain a valuable ally.
Q: How do I meet state regulatory officials?
A: The best way is to go through the chain of command — ask your state surveyor. They may be willing to help you and they will appreciate your interest. If the state surveyor does not know, call the ANFP Advocacy & Professional Development Coordinator. She may have names of contacts in key regulatory agencies.
Q: If my state already recognizes the CDM credential, what do I do?
A: If your state already recognizes the CDM credential — GREAT! You have done your work, but now is not the time to rest on your laurels. You should keep monitoring state legislative and regulatory information to make sure changes aren't made that will hurt CDMs. You should also plan public relations activities that will increase awareness of the Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals to the public and key audiences. Attend trade shows of health care and food service associations. Do public service activities. Promote CDMs to administrators. Plan membership recruitment campaigns. Join coalitions with allied associations. Keep an eye on other legislative and regulatory activities that may affect CDMs and act on them as necessary.

Inside the Ring: Drones threatened nuclear facilities
By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times
NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
Drone aircraft recently carried out unauthorized intrusions over Air Force and Navy nuclear facilities, and the incidents pose a growing threat, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command disclosed to Congress Wednesday.
Gen. John E. Hyten revealed the drone threats in written testimony before the House Armed Services Committee for a hearing on nuclear deterrence.
"Of recent concern have been the unauthorized flights of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) over Navy and Air Force installations," Gen. Hyten said. "These intrusions represent a growing threat to the safety and security of nuclear weapons and personnel."
PHOTOS: Must see military movies
Currently, the Navy and Air Force are planning to deploy counter-unmanned aerial system defenses that Gen. Hyten said will "effectively detect, track and, if necessary, engage small UAS vehicles."
The commander said protecting U.S. nuclear forces and facilities is a top priority.
"We are continually assessing threats to ensure our security apparatus is capable of denying unauthorized access or use of nuclear weapons," he said.
QUIZ: How well do you know your guns?
No other details were disclosed about the location of the incidents, or how many took place.
Current Air Force and Navy nuclear facilities include Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana; Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri; Bremerton Naval Submarine Base, Washington state; Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Georgia; Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada; Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; and F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. The bases are home to U.S. land-based missiles, bombers and nuclear missile submarines.
There have been no news reports of drones making flights over nuclear facilities.
Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work warned during a visit to the Kings Bay naval base in April that small drones could penetrate security at nuclear missile and submarine bases. He mentioned that a Netherlands company, Guard From Above, uses birds to attack drones that fly near nuclear power plants, Defense News reported.
The Air Force Global Strike Command, which handles security at nuclear sites, is purchasing electronic equipment capable of disrupting the signals that control drones.
The most recent National Defense Authorization Act, signed in December, contains a provision that calls on the Energy Department to protect nuclear sites from threats posed by unmanned aircraft. The Energy Department operates 10 nuclear sites in the United States.
Drones were detected flying over the Savannah River Site nuclear arms complex last year, and FBI agents questioned an anti-nuclear activist about the flights, the Columbia, South Carolina, newspaper The State reported.
The Navy in February 2016 investigated a drone that was spotted flying over Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, where U.S. nuclear missile submarines are deployed.
Gen. Hyten and other senior military leaders in charge of nuclear weapons warned during the hearing that any delays in carrying out an urgently needed nuclear weapons modernization program would increase the risk of undermining that U.S. deterrence of nuclear adversaries.
"Nuclear modernization can no longer be deferred," said Gen. Hyten. "Any disruption of the current program of record for future acquisition plans will introduce the risk — significant risk to our deterrent."
The military is building new missiles, missile submarines and bombers to replace currently aging systems.
U.S. nuclear cuts during the Obama administration were not matched by China and Russia, and both countries are rapidly modernizing their nuclear forces, the military leaders testified.
Navy Chief warns on info security
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson earlier this month issued a memorandum to all senior officers and civilians to be on guard against giving out too much information about the service's war fighting capabilities.
"I need your help to ensure we are not giving away our competitive edge by sharing too much information publicly," the four-star admiral stated in the March 1 memo.
Citing the need to assure allies and deter adversaries, Adm. Richardson said that when it comes to making public communications about Navy operational capabilities, "less is more."
"Sharing information about future operations and capabilities, even at the unclassified level, makes it easier for potential adversaries to gain an advantage," he said.
"Make no mistake, our adversaries are looking for any possible edge," he said. "Let's not make their task any easier."
The concerns expressed by the CNO are raising questions among security analysts about why the U.S. military is continuing to engage in potentially damaging military exchanges with China.
During the Obama administration, Chinese military officers were feted on scores of visits to advanced military facilities and systems. And ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy were allowed to take part in the large-scale Rim of the Pacific international military exercises — and then proceeded to send intelligence-gathering ships to spy on the maneuvers.
So far under the Trump administration, few military exchanges with China have been carried out.
CNO spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello said Adm. Richardson was not referring to Chinese military visits or participation in RIMPAC in the memo.
"His focus and intention is just on public communications," he said, adding that concerns over Chinese military information gathering from exchanges "may be looked at in the future."
"Those types of conversations are ongoing between the Navy here in D.C. and at" the Pacific Command, Cmdr. Servello said. "Given this new competitive environment, we're going to look at all the things we do."
Critics of decadeslong programs of military exchanges with China have said the interactions do little to build trust between the Communist Party-ruled Chinese military and the U.S. military. Additionally, China has gained valuable war fighting information from the program.
China poem: Busy Hating
A protest poem has gone viral on social media in China. The poem employs what has become a common feature of many online Chinese for dealing with a repressive communist government: wry humor. In this case, the poet was making fun of official government propaganda excoriating Beijing's foreign enemies.
The poem surfaced as officially sanctioned protests broke out in many cities in China to criticize South Korea's deployment of the U.S. Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, missile defense system. The poem was translated by China Change, an unofficial website that monitors popular culture.
It reads:
In the morning I hate America
At lunchtime I hate Korea
In the evening, I hate the Japanese
I have to squeeze in hate for Singapore and the Taiwanese
Then at night when I dream
I hate on Vietnam and the Philippines
On Monday I oppose Korea
On Tuesday, Japan
On Wednesday, it's the Americans
On Thursday I oppose the independence of Taiwan
Friday, that of Hong Kong
Come Saturday, against independence in Tibet is what I am
On the Sabbath, it's that of Uighurs in Xinjiang
My life is so wonderful and rich
Of everything else, I have no time to think or bitch.

A blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, the 2015 Saint Joseph Vania Blanc has a tropical, exotic bouquet of melon, honeysuckle and hints of green citrus. It's medium-bodied, has good acidity, and a clean, straightforward style ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years.
Guy Farge took over the management of his family estate in 1980. Originally he sold his fruit to the Cave de Tain (where he worked) and then to Delas. In 2007, he began producing wines under his own label. Each year, the wines have grown and evolved as has Guy's winemaking prowess. Now working with his son Thomas, each bottling represents some of the best we have seen from his primarily granitic terroirs. The Vania is a blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne aged in a mix of large barrels and stainless steel. Filled with a perfume of white flowers, almond paste and spices, it is a terrific version of Saint-Joseph blancs.
This Northern Rhone charmer is a shimmying, golden-hued blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. fermented in steel vats and older oak barrels for about seven months. A melange of exotica, its bursts forth with lively tropical and orchard fruit aromas—apricot, melon, mango, papaya, honeysuckle, guava—and further shows off floral, spicy, nutty and marzipan notes. Pairing? Any dish that can handle the full, ripe Bette Midler flamboyance of this audacious white Rhône.

Brenner Chapel
Örökzöld u. 7, 9970 Szentgotthárd ( Map )
On 15 December 1957, János Brenner the chaplain of Rábakethely was brutally murdered. The martyr pastor could not be commemorated publicly during the communist dictatorship. The first official commemoration ceremony was held on 13 December 1992 after the change in the regime when a crucifix was erected in front of the School Chapel in Zsida a few metres away from his place of murder. A year later in 1993 the 'Brenner János Memorial Place Foundation' was established to properly preserve the memory of the martyr priest. It was decided that a memorial chapel shall be built in the place where János Brenner last walked.The foundation stone of the chapel was laid on 9 December 1995 and the chapel was consecrated on 25 December 1996. At the 40th anniversary of his martyr death a new bell was built in the chapel.The beatification procedure of János Brenner was officially started on 3 October 1999 by the Diocese of Szombathely. On the 13th of each month from May to October, a mass is held in the Memorial Chapel called 'Good Pastor Chapel' and they pray for his beatification.On the ceremonies of Peter and Paul Apostles the mass is presented by the young priests of the Diocese.On 7 October 2001, a rosary association of men was established to pray for the beatification of János Brenner. The chapel is visited by many worshippers and visitors who can register for a professional guided visit.
