The Biggest Takeaways From Mueller's Indictment of Russian Intel Officers
By Kate Brannen, Ryan Goodman, Alex Whiting, and Andy Wright
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein holds a news conference at the Department of Justice on Friday in Washington.
This piece was originally published on Just Security, an online forum for analysis of U.S. national security law and policy.
Special counsel Robert Mueller released an indictment on Friday of 12 Russian intelligence officers, accusing them of hacking the Democratic National Committee, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The document contained an extraordinary amount of detail about how Russian intelligence carried out its operation. The Justice Department, in a press release, noted that the indictment contained no allegation that any American "was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity or knew they were communicating with Russian intelligence officers," a point seized upon by the White House and President Donald Trump's personal lawyer in their responses to the news.
Still, the indictment does refer to Americans being in communication with Guccifer 2.0, an online persona who released some of the Democratic emails and who first claimed to be a lone Romanian hacker but has since been exposed as a front for Russian intelligence (an allegation confirmed now by the indictment itself). Roger Stone, Trump's longtime confidant and political adviser, communicated with Guccifer 2.0 in the summer of 2016. The indictment also reveals that in August 2016, Guccifer 2.0 "received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the U.S. Congress." Russian intelligence, using the Guccifer 2.0 persona, responded and "sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent."
Here is a roundup of the biggest takeaways from the indictment.
1. WikiLeaks collaboration with Russian intelligence: Based on these allegations, WikiLeaks was deeply involved in a Russian intelligence operation. One of the areas in which WikiLeaks may be most exposed, under U.S. law, is the apparent advice it gave to the Russians on the significance and timing of some releases. WikiLeaks told the Russians that it was important to release stolen documents about Clinton in early July "because the DNC is approaching and she will solidify bernie supporters behind her after." The Russians responded, "ok … i see." And WikiLeaks explained the tactical importance further.
A few words of caution: The indictment does not allege that WikiLeaks knew that it was engaging with Russian intelligence officers, and alleges instead that WikiLeaks was communicating with "the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0." That said, the exchanges between WikiLeaks and the Russian front organization occurred well after the news media reported that Russians were behind the DNC hack.
2. Russian-state attribution: Mueller and a grand jury have endorsed the intelligence community's judgment that the Russian government interfered in our election in order to aid Trump's presidential campaign. The special counsel's earlier indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian organizations did not allege Russian state responsibility. That's something new here. To this day, Trump continues to refuse to affirm that view. At a press conference on Friday with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump said he'd ask Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia's "meddling" in the U.S. election but that he did not expect a "Perry Mason moment."
3. Americans' liability: This indictment serves as a firm foundation for subsequent indictments for any American's collusion with the Russians (i.e., conspiracy or complicity liability). Stone appears particularly vulnerable. The fact that Stone was in communication with Guccifer 2.0 (and WikiLeaks, though that's not mentioned in the indictment) is old news. But the indictment alleges that Stone was at the relevant times "in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump." That exposes the campaign itself—as an organization—to potential criminal liability as well as those unnamed senior members of the campaign.
These allegations also potentially expose some individuals to perjury if they intentionally covered up Stone's connection to the campaign in statements made to the FBI or Congress. Senate staff, for example, asked Donald Trump Jr., "Who did deal with Roger?" to which he responded, "I don't know if anyone did. I don't know that he had an actual role in our campaign."
On Friday, Stone told CNN that he did not think he was the unnamed person in the indictment because his contact with the campaign in 2016 was with Trump alone. "I was not in regular contact with campaign officials," he said.
4. Media-introspection time: WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 could be covered as newsmakers, covered as newsworthy subjects, or cultivated as sources. The latter seems like a problem. It would be a good time for some internal reviews among the big media dogs about their relevant coverage and ties to these organizations. One line in the indictment reads, "the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, sent a reporter stolen documents pertaining to the Black Lives Matter movement. The reporter responded by discussing when to release the documents and offering to write an article about their release."
5. Mueller investigation vitality: Notwithstanding the laments and wishful thinking from people like Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy and Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, that the Mueller investigation should wrap up, this investigation is in its prime.
6. The level of detail: The indictment is impressive in its detail and the specificity of its allegations. It shows that Mueller has developed extremely good evidence. Where is it coming from? Does he have an insider who has provided all of this information? We may never know.

Will the Vikings and Steelers hit the under? NFL Predictions 9/15/17
Vikings vs. Steelers Total Pick
Can the Pittsburgh Steelers find some offense when they host the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday at 1PM ET? Here's our look at the total for this game.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Pittsburgh is the favorite at home on Sunday, as the Steelers are getting odds of -5.5 points against the Vikings. The over/under total for the contest is listed at 45.5 points. Pittsburgh has won three of its last four meetings with Minnesota and the two have hit the under in three of their last four encounters. Sunday's game takes place from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and will air live on FOX.
Pittsburgh opened its 2017 season with a 21-18 win at Cleveland last weekend. The Steelers went under the 47-point total in the win. Pittsburgh didn't look great on offense, tallying just 290 yards. One of their scores came on a blocked punt for a touchdown. The run game finished with just 35 yards on 17 carries as Le'Veon Bell was held to only 32 yards. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 263 yards with two touchdowns while Antonio Brown caught 11 passes for 182 yards. The Pittsburgh defense was led by T.J. Watt and Anthony Chickillo, who each had two sacks. The Steelers could be without defensive end Stephon Tuitt, as he suffered a biceps injury in the win over Cleveland and is listed questionable for Sunday's game.
Minnesota started its season with a 29-19 win over the Saints at home on Monday night. The Vikings went over the 47.5-point total in the victory. While the Minnesota defense looked great in the win, holding the Saints to 344 total yards, the Vikings were quite strong on offense. Sam Bradford had one of the best games of his career, throwing for 346 yards and three touchdowns on 27-of-32 passing. He connected with Stefon Diggs for two scores while Adam Thielen hauled in 157 yards on nine catches. The run game was also impactful as Dalvin Cook rushed for 127 yards on 22 carries in his NFL debut.
Bet on Vikings vs. Steelers
This game seems to be sizing up to hit the under. Pittsburgh didn't have much of an offense against Cleveland, so it's hard to imagine the Steelers moving the ball much better against Minnesota. The Vikings looked good on offense last week, but that was against a notoriously bad New Orleans defense. Bradford isn't likely to have such a high completion percentage at Pittsburgh. The Steelers have hit the under in 8 of their last 11 games on grass while Minnesota is 14-6-1 with the under in its last 21 on the road. Go with the low-scoring game.
NFL WEEK 2 PREDICTION: VIKINGS/STEELERS UNDER 45.5

US Holiday Trading. 2 Trades Today 60 Pips Profit.
Today was a bank holiday in the US so there was very little activity in the US trading session today.
We managed to get 2 nice trades this morning though, for 60 pips profit.
The first trade was a Euro Dollar long entry at 12939, the exit was at 12973 for 33 pips.
The second trade of the day which was almost the same time as our Euro trade was EJ long at 10121, exit at 10148 for 27 pips.
We also had a long on Cable that got into 12 pips profit, but it did not move up when the Euro and EJ trade did so i closed it for a couple of pips profit as i thought it had further to go down, and it did, so its a good job i decided to close it when i did.
Cable looks like it has bottomed out now though so we should see a move up tomorrow, to take back some of the large move down. Longer term i am pretty bearish on Cable as it still has a long way to go down in my opinion.

Fed indicates it will cut rates — but not until 2020
Jerome Powell, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg | Getty Images
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday said it does not expect any rate cuts this year, but did forecast one for 2020.
The U.S. central bank's median target for the federal funds rate is still 2.4% for 2019, unchanged from its March projection. But eight members of the Federal Open Market Committee indicated they were in favor of one rate cut this year, according to the panel's projections.
The Fed, however, ticked down its expectations for future years. A narrow majority, or nine members, indicated it expects the federal funds rate to approach 2.1% by the end of 2020, instead of its previous outlook for 2.6%.
As expected, the central bank also announced Wednesday it is leaving the benchmark rate unchanged.
Four times a year, policymakers at the Federal Open Market Committee submit their projections about where short-term interest rates are headed. The results are the dot plot — a visual, yet anonymous, representation of where members think rates will go over the short, medium and longer run.
Here are the Fed's latest targets, released in Wednesday's statement:
In its March meeting, the central bank said it expected the benchmark rate to be about 2.4% by the end of 2019 — meaning that there would no rate hikes or rate cuts before year end.
At the time, it had also forecast one rate hike in 2020, or a federal funds rate that would approach 2.6% and remain near that level through 2021. In the longer run, the central bank's March projections indicated the rate would rise to 2.8%.
This is what it looked like in March:
Ahead of the 2 p.m. ET announcement, economists predicted that the central bank would leave rates unchanged and adjust its statement and forecasts, signaling the possibility of a rate cute later this summer.
While President Donald Trump and markets clamor for lower interest rates, most forecasters indicated that the Fed would likely slash its benchmark rate in July instead of this month. Market expectations for a rate cut in June have been hovering around 20%, while bets for a rate cut next month have been as high as 80%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.
The Federal Reserve has not trimmed interest rates since the financial crisis. But recent reports of softer jobs data and consumer price inflation has led economists to predict that the Fed may cut rates as a preventative measure.
A so-called insurance rate cut would theoretically cushion the economy against weakness and uncertainty. Economists have been particularly concerned about how an extended trade war with China could hit consumer and business confidence.

City So Real
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Steve James' fascinating and complex portrait of contemporary Chicago delivers a deep, multifaceted look into the soul of a quintessentially American city, set against the backdrop of its history-making 2019 mayoral election, and the tumultuous 2020 summer of COVID-19 and social upheaval following the police killing of George Floyd.
Season 1 - City So Real
5 "You Gotta Make It or You Gotta Take It"
"One year after the mayoral election, the mayor and city residents must grapple with both the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread social upheaval following the police killing of George Floyd. An already fractured city is further divided as police clash with protesters, giving rise to a generational moment that promises to change the city forever."
4 "If You Want to Break the Machine"
"No clear front-runner emerges in the historic mayoral race. Over a dozen candidates intensify attacks on each other and jockey for votes, culminating in a surprising and historic outcome that promises to profoundly shape the city's uncertain future."
3 "With All Due Respect to the Candidate"
"During a bitterly cold Chicago winter, the petition process results in a mayoral ballot with a record 14 candidates. A historic verdict is reached in the Laquan McDonald murder trial, and the longest-tenured city alderman in Chicago history is federally indicted on corruption charges."
2 "Blood Sport"
"The Laquan McDonald trial unfolds and dominates media attention. With Rahm Emanuel now out of the race, a record 21 mayoral candidates submit their petitions to replace him. They must navigate the highly politicized and contentious petition challenge process to make the ballot. Chicago is famous for its rough- and-tumble politics that is considered a "blood sport.""
1 "Welcome to Chicago"
"Facing a growing chorus of activists, incumbent Rahm Emanuel must choose whether to run for reelection against a large and diverse field of candidates in the most contested mayor's race in Chicago history. Influencing his decision is the beginning of the high-profile trial for the murder of Laquan McDonald by a white police officer."

The most essential skill in political theater and the consumer culture is artifice. Those who are best at artifice succeed. Those who have not mastered the art of artifice fail. In an age of images and entertainment, in an age of instant emotional gratification, we do not seek or want honesty. We ask to be indulged and entertained by cliches, stereotypes and mythic narratives that tell us we can be whomever we want to be, that we live in the greatest country on Earth, that we are endowed with superior moral and physical qualities and that our glorious future is preordained, either because of our attributes as Americans or because we are blessed by God or both. As we descend into a devastating economic crisis, one that Barack Obama cannot halt, there will be tens of millions of Americans who will be ruthlessly thrust aside. As their houses are foreclosed, as their jobs are lost, as they are forced to declare bankruptcy and watch their communities collapse, they will retreat even further into irrational fantasy. They will be led toward glittering and self-destructive illusions by our modern Pied Pipers–our corporate advertisers, our charlatan preachers, our television news celebrities, our self-help gurus, our entertainment industry and our political demagogues — who will offer increasingly absurd forms of escapism.

Impound More Water
Edward A. Reid Jr.
The total quantity of water in the earth system, in all physical states and in all locations, is fixed (with the exception of water vapor emitted by the combustion of hydrocarbons, which is relatively trivial). The vast majority of this water exists as saltwater in the globe's oceans. Most of the remainder exists as freshwater in glaciers, snow fields, land and sea ice, aquifers, lakes, rivers and streams or as brackish water at the interfaces between fresh water sources and the oceans.
Accessible freshwater resources provide water for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial consumption and for agricultural irrigation. These resources are replaced by precipitation, although that replacement is not always contemporaneous or complete. The result can be excessive precipitation and flooding, or insufficient precipitation and drought. These situations can be adapted to with the construction of additional water impoundments, such as artificial lakes and reservoirs.
Many areas on the globe are exposed to very large variations in precipitation on a seasonal basis, such as the monsoon, hurricane and typhoon seasons in many nations, the impacts of El Nino and La Nina events and the snow melt at the end of winter. In many cases, failure to impound the large quantities of water made available during these events result in both flooding during the events and inadequate water supplies between the events. These situations are exacerbated by increasing population, which puts additional pressure on resources and also increases the percentage of impervious surfaces, which increase and accelerate runoff.
In coastal regions which rely on aquifers for significant portions of their freshwater supplies, land subsidence has become a growing issue which has aggravated the effects of rising sea levels. This has been an issue along the US East Coast, specifically around Norfolk, Virginia and Miami, Florida. It is also an issue on the US Gulf Coast, specifically in the Mississippi Delta around New Orleans, Louisiana. Some areas have installed reinjection pumps to move surface water into the aquifers to restore capacity and avoid or minimize subsidence.
California has experienced rapid population growth over the past 50 years, However, it has not built a new reservoir during that period. This has resulted in significant pressure on water resources during normal years and rationing during periods of drought, which are frequent since much of California is desert. Then, in recent years, there has been greater than average rainfall and snowfall, much of which has flowed unused to the sea rather than being stored for use in the inevitable periods of drought. Water rationing has begun to impact California agriculture, causing large orchards and farms to be abandoned.
It is clearly time to move from a sole focus on climate change mitigation to a broader focus which includes significant adaptation efforts. Water should be a high priority focus of these adaptation efforts, with regard to both increasing impoundment for future use and more effectively channeling water which cannot be impounded.

Britney Spears Hitches A Ride For Carpool , Sings 'Baby one more time'!
Britney joined James Corden for an epic Carpool Karaoke, jamming out to everything from her new hit "Make Me" to the classics like "Baby One More Time". James and Britney kicked things off with a little throwback to "Oops I did it again", the song that made all of us want to put on a plastic red bodysuit and dance on the Moon. They even acted out the dialogue break in the song, where Britney's love interest offers her the heart of the ocean from The Titanic. James Corden is officially all of us singing that song with our friends in that moment. They also jammed out to Toxic, Womanizer, and her newest hit, Make Me.
James also got personal with Britney during the ride when he asked about her love life, which she gave more than a candid answer to, saying that even though she's done with men and doesn't believe in marriage anymore, she still wants three more kids! Well if anyone can handle that we are sure it's Britney! Later on in the ride James dared to get a little cheeky when asking Britney about what it's like for her sons to watch her on stage. You have to admit, that James Corden was pretty bold for that one. But lucky for him he also has a sense of humor to back it up, because Britney clearly loved every minute of it. And did we mention the grand finale, where Britney and James dressed up as teenage school girl and sing "Hit me baby, one more time", it;s awesome.
Britney also FINALLY dropped her latest album, "Glory" on us. Here's the video of Britney's Carpool Karaoke.

John Chalmers was born in Sydney on 20 March 1910. He went to high school at Fort Street Boys High School and studied medicine at Sydney University. He also served in the Militia as a member of Sydney University Regiment for a number of years.
Following graduation in 1936. Dr John S Chalmers was a resident doctor at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. He married Mary Violet O'Keeffe in Sydney during 1937. . He and his wife moved to Hobart where he became the Registrar at Royal Hobart Hospital (see later comment where it is suggested that he was Assistant Superintendent).
The 2/4 Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) was raised in Hobart late 1940. John enlisted in the AIF on 26 August 1940 as a Captain Medical Officer. Lt Col Thomas Hamilton was appointed Commanding Officer (CO) of the CCS on 15 November 1940. Whilst moving from Newcastle to take up his appointment at the CCS in Hobart, he had attended a Conference in Melbourne and had the opportunity of visiting a training establishment at Royal Park Depot. There he saw Major J.S. Chalmers in action. He was impressed. Following intense lobbying by Lt Col Hamilton John was appointed to the CCS.
The writer was fortunate to be provided with a copy of "The Unofficial History of the 2/4 CCS" by the daughter of Lt Col Hamilton – Mrs Anne Mulholland. The CCS sailed for Singapore in the Aquitania in February 1941. For a number of months the CCS, along with other Australian and British units, enjoyed life in the Far East. One has the impression that during this period they had a great social life. The CCS was located on the Malayan mainland at Port Swettenham, Kajang and finally (October 42) in the southern extremity of an Asiatic Mental Hospital in Johore. The Unofficial History contains quite a number of references to then Captain John Chalmers. It is not clear when John Chalmers was promoted to Major. This could only be established by viewing his Service Record.
The writer was also given a copy of 357 pages of Lt Col Hamilton's hand written notes by Mrs Jean Charlton - Lt Col Hamilton's elder daughter. These notes formed the basis of his book "Soldier Surgeon in Malaya". It was of interest for me to note that there were almost no spelling errors nor crossings out. The notes included what appear to be verbatim accounts of conversations and events. The extracts from the notes are a little expansive, as I believe they give some impression of the conditions involved in treating sick and wounded battle weary soldiers in a forward Medical Unit.
John Chalmers, later fated to die heroically by enemy action, had a passion for doing good by stealth. Australia has produced many fine soldier-doctors but, among the younger group, I knew of none finer than Chalmers. Assistant Superintendent of the Royal Hobart Hospital in civil life, backed by seven years experience as a militia officer, he was one of those useful all rounders who gladden the heart of a hospital commander. His knowledge of x-ray work was especially valuable.
Major Chalmers, always an early riser, was up and about. I saw him, dressed in pyjamas and steel helmet, conferring with Private Lockwood, the air defence picquet, at the other side of the garden.
Major Fisher will be in charge of the resuscitation and transfusion teams. Captain Brereton will assist him. The Padres will work with Captain Higgin in the reception tents and Major Chalmers will assist with the anaesthetics until required in the X-ray department.
In the reception tents, which were filling rapidly, Captain Higgin and Major John Chalmers moved busily up and down the rows of stretchers supervising the classification of the patients, most of whom bore Field Medical labels with a brief description of their wounds. Two or three benches near the entrance were filled by "sitting" or "walking" cases. Eagerly they accepted the mugs of steaming cocoa, the biscuits and the cigarettes offered them by the two padres who evidently were determined to make a hard working night of it.
Sniffing the cocoa, a boyish young officer on a nearby stretcher raised himself on one elbow. "Gosh!" he ejaculated, "I haven't had a feed in three days." Through the grime of his unshaven face I recognized a well-known infantry subaltern. "Well we may be able to remedy that," I said as I checked the Field Medical card pinned to his shirt. "Flesh wound through left thigh, no haemorrhage. That shouldn't prevent you eating at any rate." Sending round to the cook house I procured for him a plate of hot M and V, the famous army meat and vegetable ration which can be very appetising to a hungry man…….Recognizing the lieutenant also, John Chalmers found time to bring him a tot of whisky. "This'll put hair on your chest," he said. Sniffing the glass, a gleam entered the lieutenant's eyes followed by a spreading smile on his pale face as he downed the contents. "This is Heaven! I always did like the Army Medical Corps, "he remarked.
The above extracts run in chronological order and it will be noted that there are references to two dates. They are 8 December 1941, which was the date of the Japanese invasion of northern Malaya and 13 February 1942 which was just two days before capitulation by the Allied Command.
On 15 February 1942 the Allied servicemen became Prisoners of War (POW). Then in May 1942 3,000 Australian POWs, including 12 Medical Officers plus medical orderlies, were sent to Burma on two approx 500 tons ships, otherwise described as Rust Buckets. They sailed from Singapore in two ships the Celebes Maru and the Toyohashi Maru. At Medan in Sumatra, the convoy was joined by another vessel, ironically the England Maru. On the England Maru were 500 British soldiers and unexpectedly one Australian – Lt Col (later Sir) Albert Coates. The convoy then moved to the coast of Burma and left 1,000 men at Victoria Point, Mergui and Tavoy. Medical teams, including 2 or 3 Medical Officers, were left at Victoria Point and Mergui with the balance going on to Tavoy. At Mergui the Australian (AIF) POWs were under the Command of Lt Col Ramsay.
Major John Chalmers and Captain Thomas Brereton were left at Mergui with the Australian POWs. The British POWs, including Lt Col Coates from Sumatra, were also left there. Major Chalmers wrote a critical report on the conditions experienced during the nine day journey. The main points were, amongst other things, the inadequate latrine facilities, limited drinking water, inadequate sterilisation for eating utensils, crowding in the holds (especially when at Medan an additional 350 Japanese troops boarded). The move from Mergui was made in August 1942 when the POWs were moved up the coast to Tavoy in vessels no larger than Sydney Harbour ferries. Ultimately construction of the Burma Thailand Railway commenced from a place called Thanbyuzat in Burma in October 1942.
The 12 Medical Officers of "A" Force, plus Lt Col Coates, were deployed amongst the working parties (mobile teams) on the Burma end. There was clearly some authority who determined which group the Medical Officers were with. It is not obvious to the writer who that was, but, logically it was probably the Senior Medical Officer (SMO) of "A" Force Lt Col Hamilton who made the recommendations to Brigadier Varley who would then have initiated the moves of the Medical Officers through the Japanese Commander Lt Col Nagatomo. Examination of the following books "The Blue Haze" by Les Hall, "A Doctor's War" by Rowley Richards, and "The Albert Coates Story" by Albert Coates and Newman Rosenthal, enables one to get some idea of where the Medical Officers were at various times. It is clear that Major Chalmers was at , Thanbyuzat Base Hospital Camp, Apparon Camp (about 82 km from Thanbyuzat) and Kun Knit Way-55 kilo Hospital Camp. There are probably other locations which have not been identified.
When the railway was completed in October 1943 the Burma work parties which comprised the original "A" Force, and other groups which arrived later, were moved down to Thailand. This would have been late 1943 or early 1944. The actual camps that John Chalmers was at in Thailand is not clear. It could have been any of Tamarkan, Kamburi (Kanchanaburi), Tamuang or even Chungkai.
What is clear is that he became part of the "Japan Party" and, as such, he was en route to Japan in Saigon in June 1944. The following an extract from the British Battalion Diary for portion of June.
22nd Electric Light failed p.m. Musical instruments sent in by local French Red Cross.
23rd Brigadier Varley, Capts. Sumner, Stewpart and Richards with 35 Kumi and part of 36 Kumi left for Singapore via Phnom-Penh.
24th Capts. Burk, Phillips, Chalmers with 37 Kumi and part of 36 Kumi left for Singapore. R.C. trouble.
25th Capts. Flinn and Campbell-Smith with 77 men from 38 Kumi, 40 men from 40 Kumi, and all 39 Kumi left for Singapore. Rain fell all day.
26th Capts. Moore, Higgins, Fleming with remainder of 40 Kumi and all 41 Kumi left en route Singapore. An Australian from 50 Kumi left with the party. Trouble with Jap office staff.
Note- the names typed in bold are Medical Officers and the Capt Fleming, may be a Chaplain.
The move to Japan through Saigon was abandoned as the waters in that area were too dangerous. In June the Japan party was then sent south to Singapore. After some time on Singapore the Japan party boarded ships bound for Japan. The Rakuyo Maru was one of these. On 6 September 1944 the convoy put to sea. On the night of 11/12 September the convoy came under attack by American Submarines. The Rakuyo Maru was torpedoed. The story of the events following the ship being torpedoed is covered in detail in the book "Return from the River Kwai" by Joan and Clay Blair. Fortunately, they have some first hand accounts of John Chalmers last hours alive.
There is a further account about a Medical Officer's death following the sinking of the Rakuyo Maru in the book "Bamboo and Bushido" by Albert Albury published 1955. In discussion with a survivor of that sinking Dr Rowley Richards (who has published his own book "A Doctors War" ISBN 0 7322 85321 published 2005) it is agreed that this is almost certain to have been an account of the last hours of John Chalmers life.
Note- Dr Rowley Richards mentioned above, is keen for it to be known that it was usual, in such a circumstance, for a prayer of some sort (maybe The Lord's Prayer) to be said, either spoken or in reflection.
Major John Chalmers CO Lt Col Hamilton on his book, mentioned earlier, had these comments to make about this Medical Officer.
"As usual, John (Major Chalmers) had been the first to volunteer as medical officer for the draft . They sailed from Singapore for Japan in an aged, filthy hellship, the Rakuyo Maru, which bore no international markings to indicate she was crowded with defenceless prisoners. On 12th September 1944, an American torpedo pierced her guts and the depths of the China Sea claimed hundreds of weakened men. Struggling swimmers were crushed under the propellers of racing Japanese destroyers, but some were lucky to survive until picked up by the submarine four days later. Arthur Varley was last seen in the water the second day. John Chalmers died after two days of thirst and exposure on a raft. Private Brettell, a fine little English orderly from my unit, and Lance-Corporal Barrow also died. Vale John Chalmers! Always his brother's keeper, he was a man to inspire and guide the helpless. Or would he have laughed outright if anyone had told him so? Almost, one can picture him under a burning sun on that frail raft, whispering through cracked lips before he turned in his final report, "Here, take my possie mate. It'll make things a bit easier for you."
This article was written by Lt Col Peter Winstanley. The initial interest was generated by information forwarded by the late Major Chalmers nephew John Lenehan some years back. Extensive research was necessary and the following books were consulted. "Soldier Surgeon in Malay" by Thomas Hamilton, "A Doctor's War" by Rowley Richards, "Slaves of the Son's of Heaven" by Roy Whitecross. "Return from the River Kwai" by Joan & Clay Blair, "The Blue Haze" by Les Hall, "Medical Middle East and Far East" by Allan S Walker and "British Battalion Diary – May 42 to March 45" (the 500 British POWs who went to the Burma Thailand Railway from Sumatra). "Bamboo and Busido" by Albert Albury. A number of private diaries and papers were also looked at.


27 Years after the launch of Nike Air, and nearly two decades after the debut of Max Air, the revolution comes full circle. Thanks to an innovative new process called thermoforming, Nike designers can now contour the Air-Sole unit to perfectly fit the upper, finally elimating the need for midsole foam altogether. 50,000 test miles later, the Air Max 360 proves to be the lightest , softest, most durable Air Max shoe ever - the ultimate expression of Air, for now.

The EIB (European Investment Bank) has recently signed off a record loan worth GBP 85 million for the Limerick city. Reportedly, the bank is likely to provide funds to the city and County Councils to transform the 1.68-hectare Limerick 'Opera Center' site that is situated in the heart of the city into a commercial hub.
Sources reveal that, the sum that has been agreed upon to be lent by the bank is confirmed as the largest ever EIB support package for urban investment in the Republic of Ireland.
As per reports, the Opera site is one of the four major projects under the Limerick 2030 urban renewal plan. The council has planned a huge commercial development with a new office and retail commercial, and residential spaces.
Reportedly, the 2030 program was launched in 2016, with the aim to deliver over GBP 500 million worth of transformed and refurbished infrastructure across key sites in Limerick. The program already seems to be witnessing rapid progress, as the GBP 17 million worth LEED Gold 'Gardens International' office accommodation project with 80,000 sq. ft. area is slated for completion in late 2018. On completion, the project is likely to employ over 750 workers. The construction work of the old Cleeves site near the River Shannon and the Troy studios project in Castletroy is also under way.
Commenting on EIB's GBP 85 million commitment record, the Chief Executive of Limerick City & Council said that the money will provide the city with the chance to accelerate its infrastructure projects and become a "truly international city".
For the record, the new multi-million project with the potential to create 3,000 jobs, was signed at the Corporate headquarters in Limerick by the Chief Executive of Limerick City and Country Council, Mr McDowell and Conn Murray. The Chairman of Limerick Twenty Thirty program - Denis Brosnan, Mayor of the City & County of Limerick - Cllr Stephen Keary, CEO of Limerick Twenty Thirty - David Conway, Oireachtas and other public representatives, were also apparently in attendance.


A pickup truck version of the iconic Wrangler has been anticipated for quite a few years now. And now we finally have official statements announcing its arrival sometime in mid-2018. We also have a bunch of spy shots that give us a glimpse of the upcoming pickup truck. So, expect Jeep's upcoming pickup to adopt a new architecture, featuring a long wheelbase and a spacious cargo bed. Moreover, the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck should offer two gasoline-powered and a turbo-diesel engine. The latest addition to Jeep's portfolio will actually come as the company's first pickup truck since the discontinuation of the Comanche in 1992.
The Wrangler-based truck will ride on new underpinnings but expect it to remain a traditional body-on-frame vehicle. Although the new platform uses a steel frame, it also incorporates a large percentage of aluminum and plastic body panels. In that regard, expect the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck to benefit from huge weight savings. Now, the spy shots of test mule reveal a surprisingly long wheelbase as well as a large bed. With its five-foot cargo bed, the Wrangler pickup will be only marginally shorter than a standard half-ton pickup truck. Design-wise, expect it to retain much of the recognizable styling associated with this long-lived model. The front end will feature a new take on the brand's signature seven-slot grille. At the back, expect to see light clusters similar to those found on Ram trucks. More detailed reports concerning the exterior and interior design will hopefully surface very soon.
In terms of engine options, we expect the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck to offer both gasoline and diesel units. The familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is likely to carry over as the base powertrain with both manual and automatic transmissions. However, a ZF-sourced eight-speed gearbox should replace the old five-speed automatic. We also expect the Wrangler pickup to get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder called the Hurricane. As for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler diesel version, it is likely to use a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 that already powers the Ram 1500. Some reports speculate about a hybrid model but its launch isn't likely to take place any time soon.
We're still in the dark when it comes to the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck pricing details. However, our guess is that Jeep's brand new pickup truck should cost more than the regular Wrangler SUV. In that case, expect it to start at around $30,000.

BATON ROUGE — Thaddeus Moss' dad is Randy Moss — one of the greatest wide receivers ever to play in the NFL and an inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
Moss' teammate at LSU is quarterback Joe Burrow, who is No. 2 in the nation in passing yards a game with 355.3 and the favorite to win the first Heisman Trophy at LSU since 1959.
Moss' other teammates at LSU include wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who is No. 8 in the nation with 111.1 receiving yards a game; wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who is No. 14 in the nation in receptions per game with 6.9; and tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was Superman at No. 1 Alabama on Saturday as he gained 199 all-purpose yards in the Tigers' 46-41 win.

In LSU's 45-38 win at Texas when Burrow was 31-of-39 passing for 471 yards and four touchdowns, Moss caught one pass for 15 yards. In the Tigers' 66-38 win at Vanderbilt, when Burrow threw a school-record six touchdowns while completing 25 of 34 for 398 yards, Chase caught 10 passes with four of the touchdowns for 299 yards, which was fourth all-time at LSU. And Moss did not catch a pass.
But lately and incrementally, Moss is making a name for himself after the junior transfer from North Carolina State missed all of 2018 with injuries and all of 2017 because of NCAA transfer rules. He caught five passes for 39 yards with his first LSU touchdown against Utah State on Oct. 5. He caught a career-high seven passes for 45 yards against Auburn on Oct. 26.

But against Alabama on Saturday, he "Mossed" the Crimson Tide when he went all Amari Cooper with a toe tapping, acrobatic, 16-yard reception to the Tide's 1-yard line. Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs had slightly and maybe inadvertently pushed Moss out of bounds with the ball in the air, but Moss got back in bounds and just kept his toes inside the boundary for the catch. The play was reviewed and stood.
Instant Replay: Watch Alabama get "Mossed" by LSU tight end Thaddeus Moss
"If an offensive player is forced out of bounds due to contact by a defender, the offensive player can re-establish his position on the field and make a legal catch," Southeastern Conference coordinator of officials Steve Shaw said in a statement moments after the play. "The receiver was forced out of bounds by contact. Replay confirmed the receiver re-established himself and completed the catch."
Brady Ball: LSU's offense has never been like this
LSU scored three plays later for a 26-13 lead with 26 seconds to go before half as the play went viral on Twitter. But it was nothing Burrow had not already seen.
"He makes catches like that in practice," he said. "That was just another catch for Thad. Maybe it runs in the family, I don't know. I expect him to make that catch. That's why I threw him the ball."

Moss' dad Randy Moss, who is a studio analyst on ESPN's NFL Countdown, sure enjoyed watching it on television. And the Countdown crew surprised him by showing the play on the Sunday morning show.
"I want to give a shout out to the LSU Tigers on the big win in Tuscaloosa," Moss began. "Joe Burrow, you look great. Hey, son, I don't know all the rules in college football, and you had your daddy wondering, 'Is he in or out?'"
Then Moss approached the camera and put his face right in it while saying loudly, "I'm going to tell you what, Alabama, everybody in the stadium got MOSSED! Way to go, baby! That's a Moss. Yes, it's a catch. Way to go son."

Moss finished with six catches for 46 yards and is fourth on the team with 27 receptions for 292 yards in eight games — already ahead of current Oakland Raider tight end Foster Moreau, who led LSU tight ends with 22 for 272 yards last season before being drafted in the fourth round.
"You've got to cover Thad," Burrow said. "People have known that all year. That's why if we get one-on-one coverage on Thad, we're going to throw him the ball."
LSU coach Ed Orgeron was happy that Alabama got MOSSED, but he was particularly delighted that he didn't get jobbed in Tuscaloosa (57 miles from the SEC offices in Birmingham) by the SEC officials, who could have called it an incomplete pass with likely not much fallout. Watching live, it appeared Moss was out of bounds, and it is not a well known rule in addition.
Opinion: What Crimson Conspiracy against LSU? Tigers got the calls vs. Alabama
"About time," Orgeron smiled at his press conference Monday. "Hey, when we got that call, I said, 'It's our day.' And I want to say, that was the best officiated game that I've ever been a part of. I thought those guys did a tremendous job officiating the game, and I called Steve and told him that."
Orgeron was then asked if Alabama center Landon Dickerson should have been ejected after being whistled for a personal foul on LSU linebacker Patrick Queen's interception later in the first half. In similar situations, players have been ejected.
"We haven't talked about it," Orgeron said laughing. "When we got that catch, when that catch was not overturned, I wasn't complaining about anything else, man."

When are my leads opening my emails?
I know there is a way but I cant seem to figure it out. How can I see when my leads are opening my emails, clicking on my emails, etc. Any help would be appreciated as this is a current debate in my office as to when is the best time to send out our monthly newsletter!! Thanks!
Re: When are my leads opening my emails?
There is email time reports in Revenue Cycle Explorer. Its an add on feature you have to pay for from Marketo.
Thanks! Its annoying how many things are add on's when they are described you during training/learning passport.
Also, if you're using the email blast program, there is a built in dashboard that shows when the email was opened. In order for this to work, you have to send your QA through a different program, because it includes the timeline for every smart campaign in the program.


Survivors of domestic abuse in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire will benefit from a government grant of £700,000 to improve accommodation related services and support.
The funding is part of a £20m national fund from the Department of Communities and Local Government that was announced in November.
The bid was led by Cambridgeshire County Council in collaboration with other local authorities including Peterborough City Council, as well as the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner.
The funding will enable victims of domestic abuse and their children to be appropriately supported to be safe and to cope, recover and eventually move on from the abuse they have experienced.
New services will include outreach workers to help victims access existing services such as mental health support and to provide easier access to services for black, Asian, minority ethnic and refugee women and their children.
Funding will also help women move from refuge accommodation to into a property which is secure and adequately furnished both for her and any family.

Senator Cruz Torches Fauci, Vax Mandates and the NBA
By Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Dec 2, 2021
BUCK: I think we have Senator Cruz. Are you there?
SEN. CRUZ: Yes, good to be with you guys. I heard part of the question but not all of it.
BUCK: Fauci said illegals, there's different set of rules for them when it comes to covid restrictions. What the heck is going on there, Senator?
SEN. CRUZ: Well, I did like your reference to Lord Fauci. I think it ought to be "Little Lord Fauchleroy."
CLAY: (chuckling)
SEN. CRUZ: Look, his answer demonstrated the absolute hypocrisy and the partisanship that you have seen from Fauci and from the bureaucrats in the Biden administration from day one. The obvious answer is is it a problem from a perspective of covid, from a perspective of a pandemic?
Is it a problem to have two million people come here illegally not to test them for covid, for the Biden administration to release them when they have covid? Of course it's a problem! Any kindergartner wearing a Playschool stethoscope know it's a problem to release two million people them without testing them, many of whom have covid. Fauci doesn't want say that because it's politically inconvenient.
But he's more than happy to embrace the partisan talking points of the Biden White House, and I think Fauci is the single-most dangerous bureaucrat in the history of America, and I think he has done more to undermine the credibility of scientists and our health officials than anyone in the history of the country, and I think it's profoundly dangerous.
CLAY: We're speaking to Ted Cruz of Texas. Senator Cruz, a bunch of courts have already weighed in — I believe a panel of three judges in the Fifth Circuit — striking down the OSHA Biden mandate. You understand how this plays out both at the legislative and legal level at the highest level. Where does this go from here?
SEN. CRUZ: Well, these mandates are illegal, they're unconstitutional and they're an abuse of power. The Biden White House has issued four different vaccine mandates. One is directed at active-duty military — soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. One is directed at federal civilian employees. One is directed at federal contractors, anyone that does business with the federal government.
And then finally, one is directed at private employers that have 100 or more employees. That's the one that's done through OSHA. All of them are illegal, and they have… The order I laid them out in is descending order of the legal basis for those orders. So the most obviously lawless of the four is the OSHA order for private employers. The Biden administration has faced lawsuits all over the country challenging those mandates.
As you noted, federal court after federal court has enjoined the mandates, has said, "These are contrary to law." Now it's in the early stages of litigation. So the injunctions were issued because the courts determined that there was a likelihood of success on the merits by the plaintiffs. Now, that doesn't mean they've won. It means they've made an early determination that they've made a serious showing of violation of law.
What is amazing is, number one, I believe Joe Biden and the Biden White House knew full well these orders were illegal when they issued them. I think the White House lawyers and the Department of Justice lawyers told them, "These are illegal," and I think they cynically issued them anyway because they assumed that a great many people would obey them and it would take time for the courts to strike them down.
But number two, we don't have to speculate about that, because when the Federal Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit enjoined the order — the vaccine mandate for private employers — the next day, the White House Press Office stood up at the podium and told people, "You should obey the order anyway. Even though the federal courts have enjoined it, have shut it down, you should obey it anyway," and that is utterly lawless.
This crisis has revealed petty authoritarians who are willing to trample on your individual freedom. When it comes to vaccines, I support vaccines. I've been vaccinated. My family's been vaccinated. But I also believe in individual choice and autonomy and freedom, and these Democrats who want to order you to get a health care procedure against your wishes, it is absolute abuse of power.
CLAY: Let's come back here with Senator Ted Cruz from Texas in just a few minutes. Stay with us, folks.
BUCK: We're talking to Senator Cruz of Texas. Senator Cruz, I have to ask you. You saw, I'm sure, over the weekend Fauci sitting down with sitting down with Margaret Brennan of CBS, and for no apparent reason he swatted down criticism of his decision-making — which, of course, he's a bureaucrat. He shouldn't be making decisions for the whole country. But he is. He threw in January 6.
SEN. CRUZ: (laughing)
BUCK: I've been saying he's obviously a partisan hack for about 18 months now. But what does that say to you?
SEN. CRUZ: Exactly what you said, that he's a partisan hack. But it's worse than that. He has been drinking his own Kool-Aid. The arrogance of Dr. Fauci is now… It almost became a self-parody. A little later in the interview he said, "I represent science. I am science," and it's bizarre. He said, "You can't criticize me because to criticize me is to criticize science!"
What utter and complete garbage. Let's be clear, by the way: Fauci has managed to be wrong on covid repeatedly throughout this crisis. At the beginning, he said, covid's not serious. It's not a threat to American health. He was wrong on that. At the beginning, he said, don't wear masks. Masks don't do anything to prevent the spread of covid.
Now, apparently, he thinks he was wrong on that. At the beginning, he said, there's no evidence this came from the Wuhan lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That was a lie at the time. He knew it was a lie at the time. He was in email communications with Mark Zuckerberg urging Facebook to silence anyone from pointing out the overwhelming evidence that this escaped from a Chinese government lab.
Most strikingly… So the question that Margaret Brennan asked him is she said, "Well, Ted Cruz has called for you to be prosecuted," and he came back with, "(snickering) What about January 6! Heh-heh-heh." He was like Beavis and Butthead." He just screamed, "Liar! Liar! Liar!" Well, when it comes to being prosecuted, that's actually a legal question, and I didn't just randomly call for someone to be prosecuted because I don't like them.
You prosecute someone when they have committed a crime, when they have committed a felony. And specifically, Fauci came before Congress and he testified that the NIH has not and never has funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It was categorical. It was an absolute statement. Subsequently, the NIH, in writing, has refuted that statement and said, well, actually they did fund research that, by all appearances, was gain-of-function research.
Gain-of-function research is when scientists take a virus, and they make it more dangerous. They make it more contagious. They make it a greater threat to human health and safety. What appears to be the case is that it was Dr. Fauci and the American government that was helping fund what may well be the experiments that developed covid-19. We need to know the answer to that.
We don't have enough information to know that conclusively. But what we do know is that on the face of it, what Fauci told Congress and what the NIH has said in writing, are directly contradictory, and it is a felony under 18 USC Section 1001. It's a felony punishable by up to five years in prison to lie to Congress. And that, on the face of it, is what Fauci appears to have done. His response, he didn't say a word of it to Margaret Brennan.
I will say it was unfortunate. Look, I think Margaret is a talented journalist. It is a shame she didn't actually follow up and say, "Well, here was the specific quote. Here's what you said. Here's what the NIH said. Aren't these contradictory, and why shouldn't you be prosecuted for lying to Congress?"
Instead, she allowed him to get by with just a partisan insult, and it says something about his arrogance that he believes all he needs to do is virtue signal the leftist, "Hey, I'm a leftist, too," and he doesn't actually have to follow the law or tell the truth and he can remain dishonest with the American people. I think that's really unfortunate.
CLAY: Senator Cruz, we know you have a meeting. The last question for you and you can be quick on this. We appreciate you making the time. Enes Kanter has changed his last name to Freedom. He's become a citizen of the United States. He's attacking China aggressively.
The WTA has also announced that they are pulling their events out of China over Peng Shuai, a basically disappearing women's tennis player. Are you encouraged by suddenly seeing American athletes and organizations standing up to communist China?
SEN. CRUZ: Very much so. Peng Shuai has demonstrated enormous courage. She publicly accused a senior Chinese communist official of sexually assaulting her. Within about 30 minutes, they took down that post and they essentially disappeared her. She was the number one-ranked women's doubles player in the world, the only Chinese national to be ranked number one in the world, and they just disappeared her.
And the Women's Tennis Association has shown extraordinary courage, calling out the Chinese communist government, demanding that Peng Shuai be released and that she be free. And they put their money where their mouth is. This week the Women's Tennis Association canceled their events in China, giving up millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars by doing so.
And I've got to say, it is a stark contrast to the NBA. You and I are both diehard hoops fans, and the contrast with the NBA when Daryl Morey sent an innocuous tweet about — stand For Hong Kong, stand for democracy — the Chinese communist government freaked out and the NBA groveled on their knees before the communist dictators.
Yet people like LeBron James are defending the communist dictators who engage in murder and torture and run concentration camps — and I have to say, Enes Kanter calling out LeBron James? I thought his shoes were hysterical, with LeBron bowing before the Chinese communist overlords.
And I'm grateful that Kanter is showing courage and the Women's Tennis Association is showing courage, and I'll tell you something. Right now, the Women's Tennis Association has bigger balls than the NBA. And I would like to see courage be contagious and more people stand up.
BUCK: Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, sir, always appreciate you being with us.
CLAY: Well said.
BUCK: Thanks for making the time. We know you have a vote to tend to. We appreciate it.
SEN. CRUZ: Thank you, guys. Take care.
CLAY: That was Senator Ted Cruz.

Good to see that you are interested in the Model European Union session in Bristol! Below you will find more information about the format, as well as a draft timetable for the weekend.
In Model European Union sessions, participants act as a European institution, simulating the decision-making process of the European Union. In our event, we will simulate the ordinary legislative procedure, where the European Parliament and the Council of the EU (also known as the Council of Ministers) are on an equal footing.
In the simulation in Bristol, you will be invited to play the role of a national-level minister at the Council of Ministers. Prior to the session, you will be assigned a person you will act as throughout the MEU, and information about what kind of a position the national government might take in the debate. The law proposals you will debate are related to the environment and human health.
In addition to information about the person you will represent, you will be given background information about the topics to be discussed; the original proposal by the European Commission; and the European Parliament's position in its first reading. These will inform the discussion as you debate the national ministers' collective position on the topics.
Includes an address by a guest speaker.
Information about the rules of procedure; Q&A session; mock debate.
Exchanging views on the proposals, discussion on the background information.
First reading on the proposals.
Attendance is voluntary; alternative programme available for those not attending.

Mogens Olufsen Munk (ca. 1470 - 1558), var en dansk adelig, bror til Iver Munk og far til Oluf Munk.

Mogens Olufsen Munk blev landsdommer i Jylland i 1521 og året efter var han hovedkraften bag en sammensværgelse mod Christian 2.. I januar 1523 blev han sendt til gottorpske hertug Fredrik for at tilbyde ham kronen. Undervejs besøgte han Christian 2. i Vejle. Munk blev siden rigsrådsmedlem og talte på kongens vegne på Viborgs ting, hvor han verbalt angreb Christian 2. Han blev fjernet fra retten i 1531 som følge af bøndernes utilfredshed med ham. I 1534 medvirkede han til Christian 3.s kongevalg. Han var landsdommer frem til 1542 og trådte tilbage fra rigsrådet i 1544.
