Iran awaits Guardian Council decision on Rafsanjani, other presidential contenders
May 20, 2013 Kevin Lees	1 Comment
In less than 24 hours, Iranians will know who will be clear to run in next month's presidential election, the first since the June 2009 race that led to the 'Green Movement' that attracted global attention.
That's because within Iranian democracy, the Guardian Council, a 12-member body of clerics and attorneys that advises the Supreme Leader on constitutional matters, also functions as a gatekeeper for presidential and parliamentary candidates in Iran. In theory, the Guardian Council approves only those candidates who meet the criteria to run for the presidency. In reality, it means that minor, independent, secular, liberal, and/or female candidates, or anyone who appears too radical a threat to the current system or simply deemed unacceptable by the Supreme Leader, can be excluded from the race. It also means that the Guardian Council can shape the contours of the race by determining the number of relative conservatives and reformists.
As such, although 686 presidential candidates — including 30 women — have registered to run in the June 14 presidential race, just a handful are expected to be confirmed to run. In the 2009 election, for example, the Guardian Council approved just four candidates out of 476 initial hopefuls; in the 2005 election, the Guardian Council approved just six candidates from among 1,014.
But the question on everyone's mind is whether the Guardian Council will approve Hashemi Rafsanjani (pictured above), widely seen as the most powerful politician in Iran after the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Rafsanjani, who served previously as Iran's president from 1989 to 1997, is as the current chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council, a 34-member body that mediates between the elected Iranian parliament and the Guardian Council. He placed first in the first round of the 2005 presidential election, but ultimately lost widely in the runoff to the more conservative and populist Tehran mayor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Khamenei's contemporary, Rafsanjani was a political rival in the 1980s when Khamenei was Iran's president (before his 1989 elevation as Supreme Leader), and that makes him a potential president with the profile and support base to potentially challenge Khamenei as Supreme Leader. On the other hand, Rafsanjani is someone Khamenei knows well, even if they're not best friends, is somewhat of a consensus-builder, and would be unlikely to unleash the kind of erratic leadership that Ahmadinejad has embraced.
In light of the controversial aftermath of the 2009 election, during which 'Green movement' supporters of Mir-Hossein Mousavi took to the streets in opposition to the legitimacy of Ahmadinejad's reelection, the regime's crackdown left many reformists, journalists and others killed or in jail (Mousavi and others remain under house arrest even today). As a result, many of the movement's backers have settled upon Rafsanjani as their preferred candidate. That includes former president Mohammad Khatami, who served as president from 1997 to 2005 as a strong advocate for liberalization in both domestic and foreign affairs, though he wasn't necessarily effective at enacting reform.
Rafsanjani himself didn't openly support the 'Green movement' in the wake of the 2009 election, but he made some remarks indicating, ever so gently, his preference for the right to open speech, free assembly, and greater press freedom, and his opposition to the harshness of the crackdown. Though he's certainly not as reformist as Mousavi and Khatami, he's never been a full-throated conservative either, which makes him in many ways a great compromise choice in light of the post-2009 battles. At age 78, he was Iran's president at the end of the war with Iraq in the 1980s, so he's far from the kind of fresh face who would push for rapid change. But for all the reasons above, he'd start the race with the support of Iran's reform movement and he has the personal platform to push through reforms that Khatami could not a decade ago.
But Rafsanjani's disqualification, given his status as a former president, would be unprecedented in Iranian politics, and could well lead to the kind of widespread protests that followed the 2009 election. His opponents in the Guardian Council may well be looking to Rafsanjani's advanced age as an excuse to disqualify him, according to Iranian new reports today:
Iran's Guardian Council Spokesman Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei says the body may consider the physical condition of presidential hopefuls in its approval process. If an individual, who is supposed to carry out a macro executive task, can work for only a few hours a day, he cannot be approved, Kadkhodaei said in an interview with Iran's Arabic-language al-Alam news network. The Guardian Council may take physical condition into consideration in its vetting of presidential hopefuls but no discussion has been held yet regarding the issue, he added.
Given that Khamenei is just five years younger than Rafsanjani, I'm not sure that's such an incredibly useful precedent, and I'm not sure that it will ultimately be the reason for his disqualification, if it happens.
So what happens if Rafsanjani isn't permitted to run?

Saudi Prince Mohammed's elevation to interior minister augurs start of generational change
November 12, 2012 Kevin Lees	2 Comments
Although Suffragio covers mostly countries where democratic elections feature prominently in national politics, this month's Chinese transition reminds us that although some countries do not have elections, they most certainly have politics.
That's true in Saudi Arabia, where last week we saw the signs of the first transition of power to a new generation, the grandchildren of Ibn Saud — or King Abdulaziz — with the elevation of Prince Mohammed bin Nayef as interior minister on November 5.
The current Saudi king, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, is Abdulaziz's 10th son, and has governed since 2005, but has really effectively been the de facto Saudi leader since the previous king's stroke in 1995. The current Saudi crown prince (heir to the throne) is Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Abdulaziz's 25th son.
Prince Mohammed (pictured above) replaces Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, himself Abdulaziz's 31st son (allegedly!).
But Abdullah is 88 years old, Salman a relatively sprightly 75 years old, and Ahmed is 70, and the once-thriving set of Abdulaziz's sons has thinned over the years, leading to increased speculation about how the next generation of the House of Saud will begin to assume power. The next generation of Saudi leadership will face huge challenges, not least of which how to provide employment opportunities to young Saudis, deal with calls for political reform in the era of the 'Arab Spring,' and diversify an economy that remains too dependent on oil — and that's before the trickier foreign policy issues presented by a United States that will brook no further Saudi-grown terrorist attacks, a Yemen at the south of the Arabian peninsula that's becoming a chaotic terrorist haven, and Syria, a close Saudi ally, descend further into a bloody civil war.
Prince Mohammed had served as assistant interior minister since 1999, and he's made headlines as a relatively modern Saudi royal — U.S. and other officials have applauded his efforts in attacking home-grown terrorism within Saudi Arabia, and he was in 2009 himself injured in a suicide attack. he's seen as somewhat more reformist than the current ruling generation, but no one really knows where his true passions lie.
The director of the Eurasia Group's Middle East practice, Crispin Hawes wrote in Foreign Policy on Friday that the move may presage the elevation of Khalid Al Faisal Al Saud, a son of the late King Faisal, to become second deputy prime minister and accordingly, second in line to the throne (after Salman, the crown prince):
Abdullah seems intent on defining a long-term plan for the succession in an effort to prevent the kingdom from instability if, as is possible, there is a rapid series of deaths among the current and elderly ruling generation. The transition to the generation of Mohammed and Khaled al-Faisal, grandsons of Abd al-Aziz Ibn Saud and modern Saudi Arabia's founder, has been the subject of speculation for years. Faisal is in his early 70s, only a few years younger than Salman, but the move is a very significant one.
Prince Khalid is currently the governor of Mecca province, Saudi Arabia's most populous province and the home of its chief port Jeddah (and of, course, the great pilgrimage city of Mecca itself). Like Prince Mohammed, Khalid enjoys favor from both conservative and relatively liberal members of the House of Saud.
Some background is in order, because the Saudi succession is a complex business.
King Abdulaziz, then still known as just Ibn Saud, first conquered Riyadh (the homeland of the Saud family) in 1902. He fought in concert with the Allied powers during World War I against the Ottoman Empire (which controlled Arabia at the beginning of the 20th century), and consolidated power in 1932 to create the modern state we know today as Saudi Arabia. As such, Ibn Saud / King Abdulaziz is generally accepted as the founder of the current kingdom. With the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia in 1938, and the wide-scale extraction of oil beginning in the 1940s, the Saudi grip over the Arabian peninsula has been relatively secure, financed by vast oil wealth, and since Abdulaziz's death, each successive Saudi king has been one of his many, many sons — at least 37 and possibly 45 or more.
Abdulaziz's kingdom has been ruled by one of his many sons to this day, which means that the Saudi leadership has become increasingly geriatric. Continue reading Saudi Prince Mohammed's elevation to interior minister augurs start of generational change →

The Grateful American™ Book Prize
The GRATEFUL AMERICAN™ BOOK PRIZE is the only award for excellence in writing, storytelling and illustration for children's historical non-fiction and fiction focused on the events and personalities that have shaped the United States since the country's founding.
The Prize, which was created by author and publisher David Bruce Smith and the late Dr. Bruce Cole, the former Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, consists of a $13,000 cash award in commemoration of the 13 original Colonies. It is believed to be among the highest cash awards among book prizes in general. In addition, the winner will receive a medal created by Smith's mother, the renowned artist Clarice Smith. As of 2017, "Honorable Mention" winners will get a cash prize of $500 each.
One of the prime intentions of the Prize is the restoration of history as an integral part of early education in the United States. Perhaps it will encourage a "grass roots" movement that will allow the country's successes and failures of the past to inform the future.
In recent decades, education has concentrated on math and science, even in elementary and middle school classrooms. History has been pushed out in favor of subjects that may offer economic gain for the individual and the country. Though this is a worthy objective, it fosters a lack of understanding of who we are, what we've done and what we can do in the future.
Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, the third president of the United States and, the founder of the University of Virginia. He stressed the importance of history because: "…apprising them [students] of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views."
How Dry Is It?
Ask people how they felt about history class when they were in school, and usually you'll get a variety of answers with a common complaint: it was as "dry as toast," as one young adult put it. You will also find that as people get older, they develop a new respect for history.
After making her "dry toast" comment, the woman quoted above had this to say: "Since I left school I have become pretty good at reading lots of historical novels. It's because they are more interesting. If I had done this whilst still at school, I think that my marks would have been heaps better."
Thus, the Prize is designed to help stimulate the innate desire in each of us to know about our past. Children, in particular, are curious and interested in how they got here and what it means to be an American. They are taught names, dates and events in the classroom and so it's understandable why they can become bored. But, give them a book they can understand and to which they can relate – and it stirs their interest for details and context.
Another individual who participated in an online debate on the topic of history put it this way: "It's good to learn about history because you need to understand your country and your rights. History is used everywhere. A lot of our current political decisions are made based on our history. Knowing about the struggles of African Americans to gain rights is important to understanding the racial divisions of our country. Knowing about the history of how the colonies were treated by England and why the Revolutionary War was fought helps you understand why the Bill of Rights guarantees the right to a free press, is against searches without a search warrant, and there is an amendment which prohibits soldiers from sleeping in your house."
A message for authors and readers
Parents, guardians and teachers: the Prize is an initiative that will provide resources for encouraging the study of history among the boys and girls who depend on you. It will put a new emphasis on the importance of books that are written in a historically factual and engaging manner specifically for them. And, perhaps, it will result in even more interest among authors and publishers of children's books to produce works of fiction and non-fiction that cater to the needs of those in your charge.
Authors and publishers: there is a market out there for well-written, well-illustrated and well-researched accounts of the way we, as Americans, were and the way we will continue to grow, prosper and contribute on a global scale in the future. We invite your interest in and support of the Prize. And, of course, we welcome your participation by submitting your books that meet our criteria for consideration.

Anti-lockdown protests a coalition of the alienated and the far-right
By Miki Perkins
July 25, 2021 — 7.29pm
Counter-extremism experts say the people behind Australia's anti-lockdown protests on the weekend came from a loose coalition of far-right, conspiracy and libertarian groups, their numbers swelled by people who feel, rightly or wrongly, disenfranchised by government.
Dr Kaz Ross, who researches Australian far-right extremists and conspiracy groups, described the protests as a "leaderless movement". They included some high-profile individuals as well as nationalists, so-called "sovereign citizens", anti-vaccination groups, QAnon and Trump followers, and small business owners.

On Saturday there were also followers of the anti-vaccination group Reignite Australia and members of evangelical Christian churches at the rallies, with some holding signs that read: "Jesus is my vaccine."
Despite assurances from Facebook that it would remove extremist groups last year, the protests were live-streamed on some Facebook pages.
"It surprised everybody that there was such a big group – a collection of disparate groups who have been working consistently over the whole pandemic to build their support base," Dr Ross said.
While far-right extremism is not a new phenomenon in Australia, it has been on the rise in the past year in response to federal and state government handling of the coronavirus, she says.
'You can't really debate that idea that the world is run by a satanic cabal of paedophile lizards.'
Dr Kaz Ross
The protests in each city were subtly different, Dr Ross said.
In Brisbane, anti-vaccination sentiments were at the forefront, while in Melbourne the protest signs were dominated by anti-lockdown slogans. The protesters in Sydney on the weekend seemed similar to those at the anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne last year. There was a diversity of people not usually seen at rallies, including those new to public protest, people from a range of ethnic backgrounds, and lots of women.
Meanwhile, the organising in Melbourne had "matured", with a core group of seasoned protesters streamlining their operations against lockdowns over the past year, Dr Ross said. These include serial protester Matt Lawson, an administrator of an anti-5G Facebook group, who was arrested on Saturday.

Victoria Police has called on members of the public to call Crime Stoppers if they can identify protesters at the rallies over the weekend, warning offenders will be issued with fines, including seven identified organisers who could face charges of incitement.
"I'd urge every citizen who is outraged by what we saw yesterday that if you know who these people are, then tell us and we will take action," said Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius.
Seven organisers had been warned by police not to promote or participate in the protests but nonetheless turned up on Saturday, he said.
Dr Josh Roose, a senior research fellow at Deakin University, said the protesters were brought together by a feeling of marginalisation and a sense they were the victims of governments.

While it was easy to have a visceral reaction to the illegal protests, it was important to recognise this issue wasn't going away, he said.
"We really have to engage. Not with their ideas – because they have been debunked on many occasions by science – but with the idea they feel alienated with society.
"This is a global issue that, at its heart, comes back to deepening inequality and a deepening disconnect between citizens and the state."
Extremism researcher Dr Ross said while it was good that people valued democracy and were concerned about protecting individual liberties and freedoms, the anti-lockdown movement misunderstood what democracy means.
"They talk about their rights as citizens, but we also have a collective responsibility as citizens," Dr Ross said.
And debating the ideas themselves is often counterproductive: "You can't really debate that idea that the world is run by a satanic cabal of paedophile lizards."
Better media and political literacy is needed for consumers to ascertain the accuracy of what they consume on social media, she says.

My team was asked to design and develop a more nuanced method for measuring employee sentiment towards one of Microsoft's products, using methods intended to surface and display progress towards key sentiment aspirations and detect key sentiment risk areas. Strong employee sentiment towards the product is a critical driver of advocacy, leading to increased revenue and a strong indicator of product impact on company effectiveness and efficiency.
Being a technology company, the team relied on a variety of data sources to assess how employees feel about their experience with this product. These data sources include analysis of periodic surveys, detailed in-product monitoring and instrumentation, periodic qualitative interviews, and executive feedback from business units. While investments in the product and underlying network showed measurable improvements in product performance, expected increases in employee perception have been difficult to detect.
As a member of the core design team of three, we started with qualitative interviews with the Microsoft team to surface key sentiment aspirations and risks. From there we generated a taxonomy of words through brainstorming the potential emotional responses to the product, factual observations about the product, and personal judgments of the product. We clustered the words, identified antonyms, and began to reduce the number of possible selections by evaluating the relative usefulness of the words in diagnosing specific issues in sentiment and their potential use decision making when it comes to product investments. We assigned an underlying score to each word to indicate the relative positive or negative strength as determined by the goals of the project team.
Each respondent is asked first to scan through the words and select the ones that reflect their experience with this product. Then, we ask each respondent to select up to 5 words that best characterize their experience with this product. We calculate a sentiment score for each respondent based on their selections.
I participated in all aspects of the design from information architecture, instrument design, data visualizations.
Note: All data listed here is purely illustrative.
The instrument was administered using Survey Monkey (an online survey tool). Respondents reported that the survey was fast, easy to use, and judged that it allowed them to accurately reflect their true sentiments about the product. Qualitative assessments suggested that the data analysis we presented accurately reflected the tone and sentiment of respondents.
The scope of our work focused exclusively on developing a method for capturing, calculating, and reporting on sentiment regarding this product. We did not produce statistically valid results and instead tested the instrument with a small population to illustrate the visualizations and conclusions that could be drawn from a larger sample size.

Djokovic parts ways with coaching team
By Tobi Awodipe
Novak Djokovic : Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images/AFP
Serbian tennis star, Novak Djokovic has parted ways with every member of his coaching team "to find the winning spark again."Sharing the shocking news on his website novakdjokovic.com yesterday, which has since sent the tennis world into a frenzy, the winner of 12 Grand Slam titles said he made the decision after discussing with each member and he felt he needed to make the change to introduce a 'new energy in order to raise his level of play."
"I am forever grateful to Marian, GG and Miljan for decade of friendship, professionalism and commitment to my career goals. Without their support I couldn't have achieved these professional heights. I know they completely dedicated themselves and their lives to help me achieve my dreams and they were always my driving force and wind in my back. It was not an easy decision, but we all felt that we need a change.
"I am very grateful and proud of our relationship and unbreakable bond that we built through years of mutual love, respect and understanding. They are my family and that will never change", he said.
Marian Vajda has been his longtime coach for over a decade, Gebhard Phil Grirtsch, his fitness coach and Miljan Amanovic, his physiotherapist. This is coming on the heels of firing his former head coach Boris Becker, late last year.
Since winning the French Open in June of last year, the Serb had suffered many shocking defeats, losing in all but two tournaments and has won just two titles since then. The only final he made this year, which he won, was in Doha, where he beat Andy Murray to take the title. Since then, he hasn't progressed to even the quarterfinals of any tournament and hasn't won a single title, something that has never happened in almost ten years.
He adds that he wants to undergo shock therapy and believe it would help him achieve better results. He also says he wants to add a new head coach, but doesn't want to rush things.

Craig Bellamy defends Melbourne's tactics with crack at Rabbitohs' judiciary record
Written By Sporting News

South Sydney Rabbitohs v Melbourne Storm
It's been handbags at 10 paces between Melbourne and South Sydney, with Storm coach Craig Bellamy the latest to have a swing.
The Rabbitohs were left filthy after the Storm controlled the tempo of the game during Melbourne's 26-16 win at Central Coast Stadium. Although South Sydney won the penalty count and had less errors, the Storm's notorious wrestling tactics earned the ire of Rabbitohs boss Shane Richardson
Richardson hammered the Storm and the leniency they apparently receive at the judiciary.
Richardson referenced Sam Burgess' suspension for a raised elbow last year, while saying that South playmaker Cody Walker was penalised after being hit in the throat against the Storm.
Storm boss Dave Donaghy then fired back on Thursday, suggesting master manipulator Wayne Bennett was behind the outburst.
"Shane's been around the game for a long time and I've got enormous respect for him but he probably should have just had a cup of tea and a lie down mid-afternoon before saying comments as stupid as those," Donaghy told AAP
Richardson was less than impressed with that response.
Come Friday morning, it was Bellamy's turn.
"They (the Rabbitohs) have had a couple of guys at the judiciary the last couple of weeks and I don't know whether that is in the spirit of the game either," Bellamy said.
"I had a bit of a chat to the referees boss a couple of days ago ... he has got no problems with where we are at and if he has got no problems, they are the guys we have to please."
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sportal_com_au/25/3c/cameron-smith-and-cameron-munster_xtujncb4o6sj1829um1yq9l3b.jpg?t=-2140056740&w=500&quality=80
Shane Richardson isn't alone in his displeasure at the Storm's antics, with one NRL club compiling a dossier of infractions to hand to the NRL, according to Fairfax journalist Andrew Webster.
"I won't name the club because they don't want it out but this club was preparing a dossier that goes back five years outlining the Storm's wrestling technique," Webster said on Big Sports Breakfast on Friday morning.
"They were going to give it to the NRL on the eve of the finals. That shows you the level of dissatisfaction with the Storm."
Whether the accusations are true or not, this isn't the first time - and won't be the last - as opposition teams attempt to nullify the Storm.
"It's like all we do at training is plan to take shortcuts or plan to exploit rules when this group is probably the hardest-working group I have ever worked with here at the Storm and I have been here 18 years," Bellamy said.
"These young guys work really hard and that's why where we are on the ladder.
"We are not doing anything wrong, so we are going to continue to do what we are doing."

"Great shop with a large selection of board games and other bits! The gentleman was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend!"


Are Utilities Ready for Tendril's Latest Demand Management Platform?
A new offering for continuous commissioning may only appeal to the most cutting-edge utilities.
Electric utilities are catching up to their peers in other sectors and finally getting serious about customer-centric approaches to business. Or, at least, some utilities are trying something different.
Tendril has been piloting a new cloud-based platform, called Orchestrated Energy, that mixes an engagement tool with a demand response offering designed to help utilities get closer to their customers.
"Knowing you have to do something and knowing what to do are very different," said Adrian Tuck, CEO of Tendril.
The Boulder-based startup is calling Orchestrated Energy a "continuous demand management" solution that is meant to do more than just shave a few hours of load per year. It is for utilities that want to build new energy services for customers, and hopefully recognize new revenue streams in the process.
Tendril has survived many iterations (partly caused by too much piloting with utilities early on). Nearly five years ago, Tendril was thinking about how to bring together solar, electric-vehicle charging, smart thermostats and utility services. Utilities and customers, it turns out, weren't ready for it.
Fast forward to today, and it's possible customers and utilities still aren't ready for it.
But Tendril is betting there are just enough utilities willing to take a leap and provide more comprehensive energy services to their customers.
The new platform focuses on providing outcomes that customers want now -- like saving money on their heating bill beyond what the smart thermostat would save on its own, or managing EV charging to save money.
The goal of the platform is to turn utilities into trusted energy advisors. Unlike five years ago, there is actually more stuff on the edge of the grid to manage. There are millions of smart thermostats already in homes, and rooftop solar PV has become cost-competitive in many parts of the U.S.
However, few utilities are even considering residential demand as a flexible resource all year long.
Rate structures that encourage technologies like EVs and solar-plus-storage to respond to utility price signals will be key to Tendril's success. But, as was the case five years ago, time-of-use rates have not been widely adopted. Even in California, which is largely seen as the leader in all things grid edge, time-of-use rates are not the norm. It can take years for dynamic rates to come to fruition given the slow nature of the regulatory process.
Tuck said even with the uptake of solar and smart thermostats, it still isn't an easy sell to utilities. The benefit of the platform today is using it for demand response and energy efficiency. Tendril is piloting with a handful of utilities and expects to be in tens of thousands of homes, with a goal of hundreds of thousands of homes in 2018.
As just a demand response product, it is late to the game. It competes with other device-agnostic platforms such as those from Earth Networks or EnergyHub, as well as traditional players such as Comverge and closed platforms such as Nest. Some of Tendril's competitors are also thinking beyond the smart thermostat about how to help utilities see homes as demand-side resources that can be shaped and called upon at will.
Few utilities are even incentivized to evaluate demand-side resources today as a part of long-term planning. That is changing, however. California is moving toward tightly integrating demand-side resources, and more states are asking utilities to consider demand resources instead of traditional grid investments.
Tendril knows that not every utility is trying to integrate residential demand-side resources into daily operations in the near term or even the long term. Many aren't even investing in cutting-edge demand response programs that take advantage of recent technological innovations.

How SMART Goals help determine what should be categorized as a goal.
I really don't like the word "resolution" – and I never set any New Year's Resolutions for myself. The way I see it, if there is something I need to change about myself, I'm not going to wait until January 1st to make that change … I'd better get on with it right away! If you realize you're eating too much cake, or that cigarettes cause cancer, you should make those changes immediately.
New Year's Resolutions just don't seem to stick. The unfortunate truth is that it's become completely normal and accepted to flake out on our New Year's Resolutions – the gym is packed to the gills in January, a little less crowded in February, and then back to only the regulars in March.
However, I do see the value in setting goals. Goals have a different feel than resolutions do. Resolutions have a negative connotation, don't they? New Year's Resolutions usually mean that you need to stop doing something you shouldn't be doing.
I resolve to quit smoking!
I resolve to lose weight!
I resolve to stop spending so much money!
Raising my children to be healthy, productive adults.
I recently learned about SMART Goals; I use them to help me determine what should be categorized as a goal. You may think you have a goal, but what you really have is a dream, or even a task.
SMART Goals force you to think about the content of your goals. Instead of having a goal like, "I'm going to become rich!" you need to make sure you're able to achieve a very specific goal within a determined time frame.
This is a great illustration of a SMART goal – it's relevant to the student's assignment, it's definitely achievable, and it's time-based because the student has a deadline for the project.
Teens can apply the principles that make up the SMART Goals to various aspects of their lives – and to planning their future.
Your teen might be more of a worker than an athlete or someone who participates in extra-curricular activities. That's ok – everyone has different strengths and interests. If your teen works part-time at the local movie theater or grocery store, make sure s/he has the goal of budgeting. Here's a good guideline: "From each paycheck, I will put 50% into savings, and I will NOT touch it. That's specifically to pay for a car (or college, etc.)" This is a wonderfully specific goal that is measurable and achievable. While it may not exactly be "time-based" you and your teen can determine the amount of money you think is reasonable to spend on a first car. HINT: If you want to help fund a car, offer to match the amount of money that your teen saves!
Many teens are involved in extra-curricular activities such as band or scouting. Our older scouts are working on Eagle projects, or Silver and Gold projects, which can become pretty overwhelming. These are big projects that take a lot of time and planning. The SMART Goals are perfect for planning an Eagle project. Your teens need to make sure they understand the demands of the project they choose. They also need to be able to track their progress as they do their work, and have a definite end-date. "For my Eagle project, I'm going to transform a vacant lot into a park that members of the community can enjoy. I will need to raise $2,000, ask for plant and flower donations, and recruit a team of volunteers. This will be an eight-week project." While this is a big project, with the proper planning, hard work and time management, it's completely achievable.
When working with your teens on implementing SMART Goals, start slowly: they don't need to apply them to every part of their life immediately. If they begin setting goals and sticking to them when they're young, they'll have a great head start for their adult life!

So many layers of wrong in this video.
1) Non-sequitor. Titling the video "creationism disproved?" As though the presentation of a hypothesis of the evolution of one organ, the eye, could disprove the idea that the organism itself was created. Silly, if course.
2) Oversimplification. The video starts out with "light sensitive cells," as though the development of such cells was "no big deal." But let's take a closer look at this. How much genetic information is required to transform a limited number of cells into light sensitive cells? First, the cell has to hyperpolarize in light. Then, it has to have the capacity to produce various neurotransmitters depending on its state of polarization, and transmit them. And it has to be connected via nervous tissue which can transfer that neurotransmitters. And it has to have some capacity to receive the neurotransmitters. And it has to have the capacity to use this information in a way that adds survival value. All this irreducibly complex functionality, glossed over in just the "first step." All the further steps similarly oversimplify the steps of development. Like all the genetic information required to construct the "rudimentary lens," including the differentiation of lens cells, and the mechanisms required to manipulate those cells in order to make the lens useful. She skipped those steps, too. Finally, by focusing only on mollusks, she doesn't even get to the real difficult stuff -- the development of the eye BALL, which moves freely inside an eye socket.
3) Hypothesis masqueraded as science. All they have presented is a hypothesis -- not a theory -- there is in fact no evidence to prove that these various forms of eyes actually, historically, evolved from one another. The evolution of the eye could have been radically different than the process presented here. Or there could have been no such evolution at all. There is no evidence to falsify either of these other possibilities, and therefore the "just-so" story presented is not science.
4) Non-sequitur. I think my favorite quote of hers is "If it can grow, it can evolve." How beautiful is that. Growth is the process by which an organism follows the instructions encoded as genetic information preprogrammed into the organism. Evolution is the process by which genetic information is modified through the generations. Radically different processes. But she argues that if an organism can follow its preprogrammed genetic instructions, then surely those genetic instructions could be programmed into the organism without any intelligent intervention. Nice:). Like if a computer can start up, following the instructions pre-ncoded in its hardware and software, then surely those instructions can develop through random variation and non-random selection.


There's a familiar mantra that computers have somehow taken the humanity out of cinema. In an age when it's possible to conjure spectacular action from digital effects, many modern movies have developed a sense of weightlessness – the inconsequentiality of artifice. Along with Avatar director James Cameron, New Zealand film-maker Peter Jackson has been at the forefront of the digital revolution, with his twin Tolkien trilogies (The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) pushing the boundaries of computer-generated entertainment.
Yet with his latest project, a revivification of the Imperial War Museum's archive of first world war footage, Jackson has done something quite remarkable: using 21st-century technology to put the humanity back into old movie stock. The result is utterly breathtaking.
Commissioned for the Armistice centenary by IWM and 14-18 NOW in association with the BBC, They Shall Not Grow Old is not a document of the world at war. Rather, it is an arresting snapshot of the lives of British soldiers who went to fight in Europe, many of them having lied about their tender ages to enlist. There are no historians, narrators or political commentators to guide us; the voices we hear are those of veterans, many gathered by the BBC during the making of its 1964 documentary series The Great War.
As we watch a line of soldiers marching through mud towards the front, something extraordinary happens. The film seems almost miraculously to change from silent black-and-white footage to colour film with sound, as though 100 years of film history had been suddenly telescoped into a single moment. Stepping through the looking glass, we find ourselves right there in the trenches, surrounded by young men whose faces are as close and clear as those of people we would pass in the street. I've often argued that cinema is a time machine, but rarely has that seemed so true.
While a rich tapestry of background sound effects transports the viewer from training camps to battlefields, actors provide regionally authentic dialogue based on forensic lip-reading of the silent footage. "Hello Mum!" chirrups one private as he marches past the camera. Later, we see and hear an officer issuing instructions for the forthcoming attack.
Amid such artifice, the true archive voices of soldiers who were "scared that the war would be over before we got out to it" strike a vibrant chord. While the unspeakable horrors of conflict are everywhere in evidence, Jackson's film still finds unexpected life and laughter in the company of those who walked in the shadow of death. One veteran remembers the trenches as "a sort of outdoor camping holiday with the boys, with a slight spice of danger to make it interesting". Another recalls the "terrific lot of kindness" at the front, a camaraderie perhaps lacking from life at home.
Should They Shall Not Grow Old be considered a documentary or a work of art? Debates about authenticity versus invention date back to the 1916 production of The Battle of the Somme, and Jackson's creative interventions here will doubtless keep such arguments alive. Yet watching a technologically enhanced sequence in which a first world war soldier playfully juggles a beer bottle, then strums it like a guitar, all I could think was how real, how immediate, how profoundly truthful it all felt.
As the titular (mis)quotation from Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen suggests, Jackson has attempted to take ageing footage and make it young again – to bring history, and those who lived it, into the present. It is an endeavour in which he has succeeded superbly.

Hassan Ali: Police officer being investigated over Rotherham child sex abuse scandal killed in car crash
PC Hassan Ali had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission after it was alleged he twice asked a Rotherham sexual exploitation victim out on a date
A serving police officer who was being investigated as part of an undercover probe into the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal has died.
PC Hassan Ali had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission after it was alleged he twice asked a Rotherham sexual exploitation victim out on a date.
Four complaints had been made against 44-year-old PC Ali to South Yorkshire Police by two members of the public.
Police advised the media not to expose his involvement in the scandal, assuring that they were mounting an operation to monitor the officer.
But today it has emerged PC Ali has died in a road crash.
PC Ali was left fighting for life after being struck by a car while he was crossing the street at around 10.15pm last Wednesday. He died in hospital this morning, with relatives at his bedside.
Chief Constable David Crompton, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "All of our thoughts are with Hassan's family and on behalf of the force I would like to offer my sincere condolences at this incredibly difficult time.
"PC Ali was a well-liked officer whose colleagues are devastated by what has happened."

Nothing about the driver, the car, whether they are looking for it, description, type, colour, appeals for witnesses, man helping with enquiries . . .
Black out or whitewash ?

Why no details
So far as I can make out, though you have to trawl through pages of searches to find anything . . .
I started with http://www.newsnow.co.uk and worked outwards from there.
The accident was at 10pm+ 28th January on Staniforth Road, Darnall, Sheffield
when he was struck by a Blue Corsa
He died on 6th Feb, so one would expect massive head trauma, to keep him technically 'alive' for so long.
But no details are given.
Nor are there any details of whether the driver, and / or the car has / have been traced
Nor of whether a file has been submitted to the CPS alleging Death by Dangerous, careless, etc etc,
nor of whether the driver provided a sample
In fact NOTHING is being said even though normally many of these details are given, - so as to reassure the public that this is not a hit and run,
The officer's name Hussan Ali, is of course nothing to do with anything. Pure coincidence !
There is a vague suggestion that he was under surveillance.
Indeed ! Very strange.
When you die all your sins are buried with you. No one has a bad word to say about a dead man.
Alive he was condemned and under investigation / surveilllance.
In death he was praised as a "well-liked" colleague.
Very odd indeed. Imagine the call for Jihad if he was ever charged had he not met his fate in this fatal way.
or not !
"The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones:"
It is on Sky news every half hour, but STILL no details about the car / driver / etc

I have just read on the BBC website that the driver is not being prosecuted. Does this mean they think they are looking at a supposed suicide... Someone who threw himself under the car. That would be a risky way to do it, if so. Hmmmm.

Reminiscent of Brenda Leyland case then?
On the rolling news every so many minutes but no details about the dossier compiler /operator / handler etc.
Will we ever hear about the other car ?
Maybe it was a freaky accident involving no other driver, just a phantom one.

Hmm perhaps we are sharing the same thought Peter......
The truth will out.

I try to stick to the evidence.
But the absence of what would be normal evidence is, how shall we put this - "interesting".
Suicide by car accident is possible and not unknown, but usually involves a motorway bridge, rather than a relatively anonymous flat road in Sheffield,
where the limit is probably 30 mph (I would welcome verification of that. I can't pick it up on google street view. It looks built up and therefore 30 mph)
Why was he there ? Where did he live? from google.maps it seems to be a built up area at one end, and open at the western end.
To be hit by a small car may be considered a misfortune, to be hit by a Blue Corsa sounds like carelessness.
I don't like it !

Two child sex abuse victims complained about a South Yorkshire Police officer before he was killed in a car crash, their lawyer has said.
David Greenwood, of Switalskis Solicitors, said two clients asked him to complain to South Yorkshire Police about PC Hassan Ali.
PC Ali died nine days after being hit by a car in Sheffield on 28 January.
Mr Greenwood said the complaints were about PC Ali's "unwillingness to pursue complaints of exploitation".
A report published by Professor Alexis Jay in August said about 1,400 children were abused by gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani origin, from 1997 to 2013 in Rotherham.
In September, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was investigating 10 South Yorkshire Police officers referred to the watchdog by the force over the handling of child sexual exploitation in the town.
It said it would not comment on the investigation relating to Mr Ali.
'Need to know'
Mr Greenwood, a child abuse solicitor at the Wakefield law firm, said allegations or complaints regarding PC Ali must be investigated and "got to the bottom of", regardless of his death.
"These are allegations of inappropriate activity by a police officer who is tasked and has a duty to investigate crimes," he said.
"If this has in the past caused girls to be exploited then we need to know about it."
He added: "The story of PC Ali is only one part of the whole story of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
"It's important that this element of the story is investigated properly so we can fit all the pieces together and understand what was happening and what allowed the exploitation to happen over such a long period."
The 44-year-old police officer was a neighbourhood officer based in Rotherham who had 18 years' service with the force. He was not on duty at the time of the crash.
South Yorkshire Police said the force was treating PC Ali's death as a "tragic accident". Officers are continuing to investigate the collision, which happened on Staniforth Road in Darnall on 28 January. No-one has been arrested in connection with the crash.
David Crompton, Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, said Mr Ali was a "well-liked officer" and colleagues had been left "devastated" by his deat

Between AHAs and BHAs, glycolics and lactics and the newly trending polyglutamic acid, it can be hard to know where to start when you're thinking about introducing an acid into your skincare routine. It often feels like for every bit of advice issued, there's another statement completely contradicting it. And, let's face it: A few years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to find even one acid in the bathroom cabinets of most people.
Acids, however, are here to stay, so if you're yet to discover their amazing skincare benefits, it might be time you hopped on board. To help demystify these complex-sounding skin ingredients, I caught up with some expert dermatologists to find out how to decide which acids are right for you, where exactly they should fit within your skincare routine and how often we should be using them.
Keep scrolling for the most basic guide to using acids in your skincare routine and to shop some of the best ones for beginners.
"Glycolic acid [is made] from sugar cane, which has [the] smallest molecule, meaning it penetrates skin the most," says Thompson. "This can potentially mean better results but also more chance of irritation." Apply this one with a damp cotton pad once a week for two to three weeks while your skin gets used to it. Then build up to three applications each week.
"Lactic acid (from milk) is a medium-sized molecule, so [it has a] lower risk of irritation," says Thompson. "It also has a good humectant [moisture-retaining] effect, so [it is] good for dry skin." Look for formulas that contain acids rather than trying them in their pure form if you're completely new to chemical exfoliation. This gentle serum contains slow-release lactic acid to soften and hydrate.
"Mandelic acid is from almonds. It has a large molecule so is the least irritating but slower to see results," explains Thompson. "However, it is also antibacterial and anti-microbial—making it perfect for acne and rosacea." This acid from The Ordinary is a mild formula that gently sloughs away the top layers of the skin with no irritation.
This is one of the first acids that I ever incorporated into my skincare routine and I haven't looked back since. It's now a staple part of my daily skin ritual. Although my breakouts are hormonal, I've noticed that my skin looks so much more even and blemishes calm more quickly thanks to this.
A skin-quenching, gel-cream texture that locks in moisture with a huge dose of hyaluronic acid along with elasticity-boosting marine algae and skin-plumping amino acids.
Coined as a "hydration powerhouse" by the brand, this acid prevents your skin from losing valuable hydration to leave it looking plump, juicy and bright.

I got a divorce today
Well, not exactly. I signed the legal papers with my wife in front of a JP and they will be filed in a court hearing in Cairns. Neither of us will attend as there are no disputes or child custody issues as our kids are grown with kids of their own. We got together at her place to fill out the forms and both of us admitted sadness at the passing of a chapter of our lives. Just to put that in perspective, we met in the late 1950's as our fathers were associated in business, met every Sunday at a sailing club and spent the summer holidays together at Llanbedrog in north Wales. More than 55 years of history together. I still have some sailing trophies we won together. But we have been separated for about 17 years now and when she suggested we formalize the current reality, I had to agree. Outside the JP's office, we had a final hug before departing.
We have 2 girls in our marriage who have produced 4 grandchildren, so we will still have connection and communication. I am pleased to say our marriage breakdown was without rancour or blame. We both realised we were part of the problem. For anyone out there with a relationship breakup, seriously look at your own part in the breakdown and do your best to forgive theirs. I offer you a historical example of the Trojan wars as the wrong way to go. Helen was abducted, male pride was offended and 7 years of war and slaughter ensued. Though the legal fee of $900 is nearly enough to go to war about.
I am always keen to achieve efficiency, so took the opportunity to combine getting a divorce with collecting timber for the reconstruction of the sauna as both happened in Ravenshoe. Many guests have lamented the destruction of the sauna and I have finally got round to begin the reconstruction. The scantlings for the framework are now on site. I have reconnected power to the site for power tools. My first priority is to my guests , my second to the care of my grandkids and the third to projects. So combined with limited weather opportunities, the sauna could take a while, but I hope to have it available for you this coming winter.
This post seems really short so I thought I'd tag on something entirely different and more important. Young children's access to natural spaces. This has been provoked by internet articles about UK children being denied access to outdoor play areas in tower block developments. Yes, kids being denied a chance to play on a few square meters of grass in the sunlight. By council planning regulations, the areas are designated as play areas. Because of preferential tenant agreements, some kids can't play there. I think that horrific and choking to a child's development who are denied any access to the natural world, albeit a miserable strip of grass. My outrage is prompted by my recent experiences with my grandkids. During this long hot summer, they have often asked to go down to the creek. There they have played naked in the water, shaded from the sun by the dense rainforest canopy, and had exciting times. I was fearful that Philip, the younger at 2 1/2 years, would find the terrain too difficult and hurt himself, but he proved me to be the wuss. After a little coaching about traction on the rocks, where dry rocks give good grip, wet rocks give poor grip and permanently underwater rocks, covered in slime mold are as slippery as ice. I could see him learning by the minute. Within a hour he could predict which rocks he could run over and which rocks he had to use the bum crawl on. In the turbulent creek with the water cascading over his shoulders, he made his way down between the rocks to the pool below without me hovering over him. You may think me reckless to expose my grandsons to risk of injury, but for them to accurately assess the risk, meet the challenge, feel the sensory stimulation and feel the joy of success is priceless.
Today we are facing a generation of kids who have little access to the natural world, who will have little connection with it and hence little concern for it. For each failure of the ecosystem they will have a technological fix to restore human comfort until collapse, where there is no fix. That is the dystopian future I hope we can avoid.
It's more complicated than that, I think. We spent our very early years in an urban environment; apart from a couple of municipal parks, we went, alone, to play in a chemical nightmare near the River Mersey. We played on an enormous and vertiginous heap of coke next to a factory – my knees are still scarred. We took ourselves off, alone, to a lake a longish bus ride from home, camped in the woods and swam and rowed a (sinking) boat on the lake – you were bitten by a pike I think. But I think the main reasons that kids now are denied these excursions is the modern idea that all kids must be protected against all risks, at all times, under threat of punishment of everyone connected with those kids, and even removal of those kids from the family home. Kids will always find somewhere to play, as we did. but in the UK they are no longer allowed to.


In photography, the term Medium Format has traditionally been applied to film and digital cameras that record images on media larger than 24 by 36mm (full-frame), but smaller than 4 by 5 inches (which is considered to be large-format photography).
In the film world, medium format has moved from being the most widely used film size (1900s through 1950s), to a niche, used by professionals and some amateur enthusiasts. I'm not at all getting nostalgic here, I'm just saying that there is a lot of medium format equipment available that with a little imagination can be used with a full-frame or even an APS-C camera.
This is the a Mamiya 645 Super in a basic configuration, a medium-format SLR cameras made in Japan by Mamiya from December 1985 to 1993. The M645 series was replaced with the auto-focus 645 AF series from late 1999.
We have also now reached a point, where creating a bigger than FF sized digital sensor is possible and depending on your budget might even be affordable. The Fujifilm GFX 50S mirrorless camera for instance, comes with a 44 x 33mm, 51 megapixels sensor and is available for about $6,500.
The Mamiya – Sekor C 80mm f/2.8 N is a classical manual focus medium format prime for Mamiya's 645 series. The lens was designed as an entry level standard angle prime and often bundled with starter kits. When used on the native medium format body, the lens has the field of view, equivalent to a 50mm lens on a regular 35mm camera. When adapted to a full frame camera, the lens has the field of view resembling that of a 80mm prime, while when adapted to an APS-C camera, its field of view will be similar to that of a 128mm telephoto lens.
The Mamiya 80mm f/2.8 is a compact, lightweight standard focal length lens.
Mamiya lenses are quality controlled at all stages. They are engineered for professional use. Mamiya manufactures its own glass and coats the lens elements using Mamiya's proprietary multi-coating process, increasing light transmission, dramatically reducing flare, and ensuring crisp, clean whites and vibrant natural colors.
Obviously lens-adaption becomes an issue, when the lens was designed with a smaller Flange Focal Distance, than its new camera system. One reason, why I replaced the lens-mount on the old FD lens, instead of using an adapter.
Adapting Mamiya lenses (which expect a 63.30mm distance to the sensor) to the Canon EF-mount (natively providing 44mm distance) is not an issue however and just requires the equivalent of 19.3mm long extension tube.
The KIPON M645-EOS adapter mounts Mamiya 645 series lenses on Canon EOS EF series camera bodies.
