In another example of a competitor-based patent lawsuit involving cloud computing, Citrix Systems filed a major lawsuit against its newcomer competitor Avi Networks in the U.S. District Court of Delaware in December 2017. Besides flexing its muscles with infringement assertions of four patents relating to Citrix's NetScaler cloud application delivery technology, Citrix also alleges false advertising, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices and seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction against Avi Networks. And while not readily apparent from Citrix's Complaint itself, Citrix targets two of its patents against Avi Networks' Cloud Application Delivery Platform for OpenStack. Not only is this one more competitor vs. competitor patent action, but it marks yet another assertion against cloud-based open source software.
In the Complaint, Citrix recounts its history from its founding in 1989 to its emergence as a leader in cloud technology, including its acquisition of NetScaler, Inc. in August 2005. That acquisition enabled Citrix to continue developing the NetScaler technology which resulted in the issuance of numerous U.S. patents, including the four patents-in-suit. Avi Networks, founded in 2012, is relatively new to the cloud technology industry. And in keeping with an ever increasing pattern, Citrix goes to great lengths to point out that several Avi Networks senior executive leaders, including both its CEO and VP of Marketing, were previously executives at Citrix. Moreover, according to Citrix, "since Avi Networks was formed, several other Citrix employees have left to join that company, bringing with them their knowledge of Citrix's products and intellectual property." (Complaint, ¶ 9). In what could be viewed as further retaliation for executive ship-jumping, Citrix takes such offense to Avi Network's comparative marketing materials that it levels pages of claims of false advertising, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices. Such comparative marketing against competitive products is a common business practice, and unless something truly egregious is at hand, it seems unlikely that Citrix will make these allegations stick.
With regard to the patent allegations, two of Citrix's asserted patents relate to methods of connection multiplexing and reuse that permit more efficient pooling of connections between clients and servers of the Internet (U.S. Patent 9,148,493 and U.S. Patent No. 8,631,120). Citrix alleges that the Avi Vantage Platform infringes these two patents. The other two Citrix patents relate to using dynamic response time to determine responsiveness of network service (U.S. Patent 8,230,055 and U.S. Patent 7,720,954). Again, Citrix alleges that Avi Networks infringes these two patents by installing the Avi Vantage Platform on cloud infrastructure such as a customer's private cloud infrastructure or public cloud infrastructure. While not explicitly mentioning OpenStack in the Complaint itself, Citrix references several Exhibits attached to the Complaint that illustrate infringement of the '055 and '954 patents. A portion of a claim chart attached as Exhibit 15 (shown inline) cites to Exhibit 12 (shown below), which is an Avi Networks Solution Brief describing Application Delivery in OpenStack with Avi Networks. Some would find it very intriguing to say the least that Citrix has (at least in part) leveled patent assertions against use of OpenStack, an increasingly popular open source software offering for creating private and public clouds.
Other than the patent assertion against OSS, this lawsuit resembles BMC Software v. Cherwell Software, as previously reported by Cloud IPQ. The plaintiffs in both cases are established incumbents filing suit against relative newcomers in their respective fields. Citrix, akin to BMC, owns a substantial patent arsenal, while Avi Networks, like Cherwell, has only a handful patents. Further, both cases have a strikingly similar fact pattern in that the CEO of the smaller competitor was a former executive of the larger company. In this case, Avi Networks' CEO previously worked at Citrix as the Vice President and General Manager of Mobile Solutions. And like BMC Software's Complaint, in an effort to substantiate willful patent infringement by Avi Networks, Citrix refers to the previous Citrix employment of the executives now Avi Networks. (See Complaint, ¶¶ 48, 62, 77, 92). Allegations that former senior executives had or should have had specific knowledge of their employer's patent portfolios has become a more common approach in post-Halo pleadings for willful infringement.
This case is still in its early stages, and Avi Networks has not yet filed its Answer in the case, nor has Citrix filed a motion for preliminary injunction as a follow-up to the Complaint. It wouldn't be surprising to see a counter lawsuit filed by Avi Networks, although they only own a handful of issued patents at this stage. Perhaps Avi Networks will need to turn to the secondary patent market to bolster its patent portfolio. Given that there are no specific allegations at this point against Avi Networks' Next-gen Application Delivery for Microsoft Azure, it doesn't appear that Avi Networks could take advantage of the Patent Pick option of the Azure IP Advantage program. But that could always change as the case proceeds.

Alex Sheen Speaker Biography
Alex Sheen's father died of small cell lung cancer on September 4th, 2012. His father was good with his promises, so Alex titled his father's eulogy "because I said I would" and created the promise card in his memory. Eventually, Alex would decide to resign from his corporate position in order to advance because I said I would's mission.
Alex Sheen now works to better of humanity through the importance of a promise in what little ways he can. It started by waking up early before going to work and handwriting letters to people thanking them for requesting promise cards. This dedication continued to develop as he began fulfilling charitable promises. These promises include getting 100 tickets to Disneyland for children with cancer and walking 245 miles across the entire state of Ohio in 10 days to raise awareness for the victims of sexual violence (a promise he made to Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight). Alex now gives speeches on behalf of because I said I would in order to fund the work of this nonprofit organization.
As one of the foremost experts on promises and commitment, Alex is a four-time TEDxTalk speaker, author, podcast host and internationally-recognized humanitarian. While known most for inspirational keynotes (both live and web speeches), Alex also leads Leadership Development Workshops. By combining research and philosophy, Alex shares the habits and tactics that make it easier to keep promises.
Alex Sheen was born in Toledo, Ohio and was raised in Powell, Ohio. He graduated from Olentangy High School in 2003 and continued his academic career at Ohio University as a proud Bobcat where he received his B.B.A. in Marketing. In 2007, Alex moved to Lakewood, Ohio where he currently resides with his incredibly adorable dog, Kimchi. He was a Corporate Strategy Lead at Hyland Software until March 2013.

The Importance of a Promise
Integrity and character are often defined by how someone treats their promises. Too often in life, we say "I'll get to it" or "tomorrow." This attitude can begin to define a culture. Alex Sheen talks about the importance of a promise and its impact on humanity. Through emotionally powerful stories, he convincingly discusses how our character and integrity is determined by how we treat our commitments. Alex shares interesting, practical and actionable advice on how to become a person of your word. As a nonprofit leader, his message focuses on making promises to better yourself, your family and your community.
Leading a Social Movement
He will tell emotional and inspiring stories that have been shared with him through because I said I would. Alex will also speak to his personal experiences in leading the social movement. The keynote will end with a strong call-to-action activity that connects the promise cards to the lives of your students and faculty. Here are some of the options that are available for a full-day engagement:
-Planning and preparation services
-Up to 1.5-hour keynote speech
-Half-hour "meet & greet" session
-Half-hour "question & answer" session
-Half-hour leadership discussion regarding accountability, integrity and/or corporate responsibility
-Ten promise cards for every student and faculty member
The Life of a Promise Program
It's not about making a better employee. It's not about making a better manager. It's about making a better human.
As one of the foremost expert on promises, Alex has combined research and philosophy with tactical and actionable steps to help people become more committed. This leadership workshop is interactive and thought-provoking that will give individuals the necessary tools needed to be a person of their word, by learning how promises are made, kept or broken, and most importantly why.
We have created a program that builds individuals who lead by example. Our work isn't about profit margins, products, and quotas. This is a different type of experience. In this program, your team will be exposed to the ideas, concepts and actionable advice that leads to positive change through the importance of a promise.

Red Baron not only loves beans but all sorts of pulses. My love for beans is some sort of atavism for I remember well 1946, the year of malnutrition when my father came home with a sack full of colorful horse beans. So we had beans as a soup, mashed, and as a side dish and I loved them. My favorite dish is fava beans with bacon while black beans are best in any form.
The other day I read an article in Freiburg's Sunday paper Der Sonntag about soybeans. This rang another bell. As a graduate student in Munich I frequently listened to the American Forces Network (AFN) and learned that soybeans are a traded commodity and Mickey Mantle is a baseball legend.
©dpa
Soybeans are high-quality fodder and the basis for bean curd (tofu) too. Those magic protein-rich beans are an American export hit world-wide. Here in Germany US soybeans are mostly known for being genetically modified. So farmers on the Upper Rhine saw a market-niche satisfying an increasing number of vegans who are looking for Biotofu (organic bean curd). Demand exceeds the supply although areas under cultivation have doubled over the past two years to 7000 hectares (17,000 acres). Only beekeepers are pouting for soybeans provide no nutrition to bees.
Soybeans love warm weather, need temperatures of at least 6 °C, have a vegetation period of 150 to 180 days, and require soil temperatures of at least 10 °C while germinating. With climate change the Upper Rhine Plain is becoming an ideal region for soybean cultivation. Where grapes grow, soybeans grow too. While young plants have problems fighting weeds herbicides are taboo in organic farming. Instead of labor-intensive hoeing and plowing the trick is to seed soybeans together with rye, the latter serving as a shield against weeds. It is like mulching, a farmer explained.
Be assured friends, America remains first, we are not going to export our beans.
Two freshmen in Germanistik (German studies) are looking at a painting showing Heinrich Heine. One of the guys queries: Is this Schiller or Goethe? Bonehead, his colleague answers, that is Goethe; Schiller was a composer.
German studies were and still are a stopgap study. In addition there are theater arts and even worse political science. This more so since in Germany the number of young people in a year with Hochschulreife (higher education entrance qualification) is now over 60 % whereas 50 years ago only 6 % of a school year went on to university studies. So embarrassed youngsters - the first thing they want is to become a university student*- are flooding the universities (75,000 freshpersons in 2016/17). Without much guidance they choose Germanistik, some of them with only a rudimentary knowledge of German orthography, grammar, and linguistic style.
*of those 6 % graduates of my time not all went to university. Only one half of my classmates studied.
Peter Philipp Riedl, professor of modern German literature at Freiburg's university, admits: Since I started teaching I have noticed that there is a good and even excellent top group but the so-called good middle field is becoming thinner.
Lucky America, you do not send your high school graduates to advanced studies at universities right away but to college first. This system is based on the medieval baccalaureate where in olden days the Seven Liberal Arts* (grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy) had to be mastered first in preparation for serious studies of theology, law, medicine, and philosophy. Such an approach to higher education is much better suited than the Humboldt idea of a free study at any university. The Humboldt brothers started with an assumption that no longer holds nowadays. They entered the university as two extremely well-prepared young men whereas nowadays German high schools are under pressure to graduate many pupils with good marks irrespective of their basic knowledge.
*Note the preponderance of science subjects
Coming back to the US; on the one hand I always admire the top-level researchers collecting most of the Nobel Prizes whereas on the other hand I am told that mass-education in the US leaves much to be desired. While German Nobel Prizes remain rare I fear that with respect to the general education of German kids we are approaching the States.
Well, I am an old man. Whenever I deplore young people's lack of basic knowledge I am told that times have changed. Still, it is sad to see that high school graduates staring at their iPhones take Schiller for the Apple marketing director. Guys, it's Friedrich and not Phil.
@realClimateChange
Such a title will never be twittered by @realDonaldTrump but this anyway is absolutely stupid for Real Climate Change is the title of my blog, neither a fake nor a tweet.
Following two tropical heat waves in Freiburg at the end of June and the beginning of July with temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) today we are cracking the 34 °C (92 °F) mark. You are right, this is no proof of climate change. However here are some hard hot facts recently published by the Badische Zeitung owner of the copyright of all graphics.
In Freiburg the number of hot days with temperatures above 30 °C has increased by more than 80% in recent years and 2017 may beat all previous records. In Freiburg we suffered already 10 "heat days" up to now.
In the not too far future the Feldberg will no longer be Freiburg's ski resort.
Farmers experience an early flowering period for such crops as rape in the year, a dangerous development. This spring the cherry trees blossomed so early that one night of frost dramatically damaged the flowering in the region. Cherries are expensive this year.
While other places in Germany are struck by Starkregen (heavy rainfall) and flooded basements the water level of the Dreisam River in Freiburg presently is so low that some fish will not survive.
Nevertheless, regional farmers are not concerned because many fields are irrigated by water pumped out of deep wells. The reservoir seemed inexhaustible with the groundwater table remaining stable in the past. In recent years, however, a decline of groundwater levels has been observed being in all likelihood due to the long-term absence of precipitation in Germany's southwest.
Climate change is real.
The Night of the Burning Cars
(©dpa)
The above photo was not taken during the G-20 Summit in Hamburg but in a Paris suburb on the evening of July 14, that the Americans wrongly call Bastille Day. In fact, Abfackeln (flaring off) of cars is a French specialty long practiced during hot summer nights. Let us say, there is nothing, good or bad, that Germans do not import as being en vogue either from the States or from France.
Indeed, many a journal wrote about the G-20 Summit and those Chaostage (days of chaos) in Hamburg that most of the radical black-hooded rioters came from other European countries like Denmark, Italy, Spain, and France. This is one of the many statements Red Baron read that is an den Haaren herbeigezogen (far-fetched) and fake news.
The Black Block (©dpa)
What follows will not be a full description of the terror that ruled in small parts of the Hanseatic city, and that was documented in many films and mobile phone videos distributed around the world by the press and social networks.
Here is one irking observation: "Innocent" bystanders running around with their smartphones trying to catch the most spectacular scenes were often caught between the battle lines. They later complained that they had been hurt by water cannons (police), stones (rioters), and tear gas (both sides). There is a German proverb: Wer sich in Gefahr begibt, kommt darin um or less dramatic in English and with better reference to the Molotov cocktails thrown: If you play with fire, you must expect to get your fingers burned.
Here are more observations. There is no better country for peaceful demonstrations than Germany. When you announce your protest rally to the local authorities, they will do everything so that your march will become a success. They will even deploy policemen along the authorized route to protect the participants. There are only a few rules demonstrators must observe, the most important being the Vermummungsverbot (a ban on face coverings). So the March of Science Red Baron participated in recently turned out to be a successful demonstration.
There is even a regular march in Freiburg every Monday evening protesting against Hartz-4, a nearly forgotten piece of legislation tightening the entitlement to unemployment benefits. This is why the other Monday, I observed four people with a worn-out banner marching from Bertoldsbrunnen to Rathausplatz with one policeman walking along protecting the protesters against possible right-wing provocations. The friendly demonstrators stopped in front of the town hall, discussed with passers-by, and I bought them a beer.
Coming back to the Hamburg events. Protests against the G-20 Summit were multilayered against turbo-capitalism, globalization, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, climate change, arms exports in general, and into crisis or war regions.
The situation escalated when the protesters of the so-called Black Block, young people clad in black and some of them hooded, perceived the double row of riot police accompanying their demonstration as a provocation. Nerves were on edge. Soon the militants were throwing stones and Molotov cocktails, while the police used water cannons and tear gas.
Germans are well organized.
In case of injuries, a Riot Medic (those foreigners attendíng do understand) will help (©Der Spiegel).
A peaceful demonstration by a green block came to an abrupt halt at a line of policemen. At that moment, the demonstrators must have realized that the impact of political protests remains small when the rules in capitalistic democracies are observed. So they attacked. Afterward, the girl with the head bandage told the reporter: We tried to break through the Polizeikette. I was in the second row. Crazy.
(©Der Spiegel)
I don't know what got into another girl climbing a water cannon. Policemen told her to descend, warning that she would fall off if the vehicle accelerated. When she did not follow their advice, the police used tear gas to force her down into "safety."
Rioters, a demonstration is not a game of cat-and-mouse! The police have the governmental monopoly of enforcing law and order protecting the physical integrity and the property of the citizens.
The days of chaos left Hamburg with injured demonstrators and policemen, broken windows, looted supermarkets, and burning cars. Too bad, too sad.
In the latest CERN Courrier Red Baron read the following note about a new particle recently discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC):
The LHCb collaboration has discovered a new weakly decaying particle: a baryon called the Ξ++cc, which contains two charm quarks and an up quark. The discovery of the new particle, which was observed decaying to the final-state Λ+c K– π+ π+ and is predicted by the Standard Model, was presented at the European Physical Society conference in Venice on 6 July.
Artist's view of the Ξ++cc particle (Daniel Dominguez/CERN)
In contrast to other baryons, in which the three quarks perform an elaborate dance around each other, a doubly heavy baryon is expected to act like a planetary system, where the two heavy quarks play the role of heavy stars orbiting one around the other, with the lighter quark orbiting around this binary system, spokesperson Guy Wilkinson said but it is just one particle to cross off the list.
Left: clear Ξ++cc signal on top of the background.
The "new" particle finds its predicted place in the upper right hand corner of the right diagram.
Venice is such a nice place but the result presented there is nothing but frustrating. With the energy of the LHC approaching its final design value and the luminosity of the colliding proton beams beating all earlier records there is still no sign of a new physics. In fact, the new Ξ++cc particle predicted by and fitting into the Standard Model is nothing to write home about.
In spite of all the bottles emptied,
a frustrated physisist is still looking for signs of a new physics.
Where are the experimental results supporting string theory and is super symmetry (Susy) a dead-born child? How far away are we from GUT (Grand Unification Theory)?
With results of a new physics not coming in accelerator physicists at CERN already plan for a larger circular machine. Its circumference shall be up to four times that of the LHC although experimental physicists demand that any new accelerator should rather be an order of magnitude larger than the LHC. But who shall pay for a 130 TeV machine?
Skeleton in John Ellis's office
With respect to the missing new physics John Ellis, CERN's guru of theoretical physics now 71, remains an optimist but is moving on the quiet from the infinite small to the infinite big when he declares: Now we know [the Standard Model] is pretty much complete so we can focus on the questions beyond it, dark matter, the future of the universe, the beginning of the universe, little things like that. By the way, what John really means is GUT or shall we say theoretical physicist have a special kind of humor?
The famous Richard Feynman once joked when he was asked about the usefulness of theoretical physics: Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.
Last week Red Baron read in the Badische Zeitung about a collector's item. The Ritter firm known for its square Sport chocolate bars had produced a limited edition called Einhorn (unicorn). The item went viral so now on eBay collectors pay more then 100 euros for a bar and more than 10 for an empty package.
The article in the BZ was actually more about the history of the unicorn, a mythic animal that had fascinated my grandson when he was young but as my son-in-law smugly remarked I should have told him in French about the licorne.
Let's continue instead with collector's items. In my last blog I had mentioned two of them: the Madison flag and Fox & Friends (not the tv-show but the craftbeer).
It was my American friends who told me that the present flag would soon be outdated. Its center drawing standing for the Madison capitol on the isthmus between the two lakes somewhat resembles a Native American sun symbol and therefore must be replaced, Mayor Paul Soglin said. So I'd better talk to Freiburg's city officials about taking down the Madison flag on the Kaiserbrücke and keeping it in a safe place.
The other item is the craftbeer Fox & Friends with only 400 bottles brewed on the occasion of the Partnerschaftsmarkt. Red Baron bought 1.5 % of them, drank one with Elisabeth, and hid five in his cellar for special and future use. In the meantime one of the American visitors took home an empty bottle, a collector's item q.e.d.
But there is more.
Red Baron still owns an HP-35. This was Hewlett-Packard's and the world's first scientific pocket calculator with trigonometric and exponential functions. The HP-35 used Reversed Polish Notation in a stroke of genius* and was sold in 1972 for U$ 395, a small fortune at that time that CERN paid.
*RPN always means one keystroke less than the classical notation
The HP-35 meant a major breakthrough in radiation protection. When calculating Curies into Becquerels we used slide rules but getting the order of magnitude right was another story, e.g., 1 μCi = 37 kBq.
The NiCd battery pack has long since gone but you can operate the HP-35 and its red light diodes on AC power or you buy new expensive NiMH battery packs on the Internet.

Stax Songwriter Series
Carl Hampton and Homer Banks
In the wake of the success of We Three, the Stax songwriting team consisting of Bettye Crutcher, Raymond Jackson, and Homer Banks, a splintering of that group made way for the reformation of another. As Crutcher explored new collaborative partnerships, Banks and Jackson enlisted the creative muscle of Carl Hampton, a lifelong musician who'd taken a roundabout path to success at the top of Stax's heap of songwriting talent.
Carl Mitchell Hampton was born in 1943 and began playing piano during his early childhood. Like Jackson and Banks, Hampton attended Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, mere blocks away from the site that would famously house Stax Records on McLemore Avenue. Though he was a self-taught musician, he spent his young adult years honing in on the talents of others, taking a liking to the vocation of talent scout and manager for emerging local artists. While assisting an aspiring dancer with a stage show, Hampton connected with Tom Nixon, who in 1970 had recently ascended from a job overseeing production at Stax Records to head his own imprint within the company, We Produce Records, which he ran alongside educator Josephine Bridges. Nixon offered Hampton a role as a songwriting lead for We Produce, enabling Hampton as a fixture in the studio with the label's roster, including the likes of sweet soul trio The Temprees and rocking soul guitarist Ernie Hines. Hampton notably co-wrote "(Follow Her) Rules and Regulations" and "I'm for You, You for Me" for The Temprees while at We Produce.
However, expressing concern that We Produce's resources paled in comparison to the amenities afforded to Stax Records' main roster, Hampton successfully appealed to transfer his services to Stax, ending his short-lived tenure with Nixon and Bridges' staff. Connecting with one of Stax's most spirited performers, the ever-infectious Rufus Thomas, Hampton arranged "Do the Push and Pull."
Homer Banks, born in 1941, grew up singing and writing songs with his best friend Raymond Jackson. After being drafted directly following his graduation from high school, Banks would pass the time by singing lead in a band while in the service.
Returning to Memphis in 1964, he tried his hand at solo stardom, working with David Porter and Isaac Hayes at Genie Records, a short-lived venture led by the two soon-to-be hitmakers while they were on a break from the fledgling Stax Record Company. Banks' association with Porter and Hayes' dissension from their home label served as a source of tension between Banks and Stax co-founder Jim Stewart, who dismissed his viability as an artist. Nevertheless, Stewart's sister and business partner, Estelle Axton, encouraged Banks to practice his songwriting while working at her Satellite Record Shop, adjacent to the Stax recording studio. Deanie Parker, Johnny Keyes, Packy Axton, and Allen Jones all co-wrote tunes with Banks. Naturally, though, he'd team up with his longtime friend, Raymond Jackson, who'd also recently come home from military service, to begin a fruitful and longstanding partnership at the label, beginning with "Next Time," a song they co-wrote for Johnnie Taylor in 1968.
In the same year, Banks and Jackson would team with Bettye Crutcher to write what would become Stax's biggest selling single at that time, "Who's Making Love," also performed by Johnnie Taylor. The song reached number one on R&B charts and top five in pop and sold 850,000 copies the year it was released before going on to reach two million copies sold.
Other notable compositions by Jackson, Banks, and Crutcher include Johnnie Taylor's "Take Care of Your Homework, and "I Could Never Be President," as well as Jeanne & The Darlings' "It's Time to Pay (For the Fun We've Had)" in 1969. However, Crutcher began to work outside the group, effectively disbanding the trio known collectively as "We Three."
Carl Hampton's arrival at Stax Records coincided with the de facto dissolution of the partnership between Crutcher, Jackson, and Banks. Hampton took to working alongside Jackson and Banks. Hampton helped the two veteran songwriters to craft "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" with the intent of placing the song with The Emotions, although the song's message of infidelity would be deemed too racy for the group. Though the composition would also find its way to Veda Brown, it wouldn't see a release until 1972, when Luther Ingram recorded the song. The song's slow melting introduction utilizes the moody groove of a Wurlitzer with accenting wah-wah guitar played by Pete Carr. The song spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard R&B chart while netting Ingram a spot at number three on the U.S. pop music chart. Ingram's Koko Records released the single backed with another side penned by Banks, Jackson, and Hampton and previously offered to Veda Brown, titled "I'll Be Your Shelter (In Time of Storm)."
The list of songs Hampton and Banks completed with Jackson in 1972 includes "I May Not Be All You Want (But I'm All You Got)" by Carla Thomas, "Heaven Knows" and "Too Much Wheelin' & Dealin'" by Mel & Tim, and "It Ain't Always What You Do (It's Who You Let See You Do It)" by The Soul Children. The trio even returned to work with The Emotions, for whom they would take on as a production effort, working to craft "From Toys to Boys" and "I Call This Loving You" in the same year.
Seemingly on a creative high, the three men followed a troupe of the most coveted Stax Records staffers to Muscle Shoals for a recording trip scheduled around The Staple Singers. Hampton shipped his piano to his hotel to ensure that he and his songwriting partners would pair as many songs as possible with the recording group who'd had the express backing of Stax executive Al Bell.
The tactic proved successful, with The Staple Singers taking to both "Be What You Are," "Touch a Hand, Make a Friend," and "If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)," a single conspicuously crafted as a spiritual successor to the Staple's previous chart-topping effort, "I'll Take You There."
Tragically, just weeks after the recording trip, Raymond Jackson would succumb to injuries sustained following a fire-related incident in his backyard.
Posthumously, Jackson's impression on the Stax Records company continued as several artists released songs he penned with Banks and Hampton following his untimely passing. These include "Before the Honeymoon" by Little Milton, "We've Been Through Too Much Together" by Eddie Floyd, and "Bridges Instead of Walls" by The Staple Singers, along with numerous releases by The Soul Children, for whom Banks, Hampton, and Jackson were producers.
In 1973, Hampton and Banks sat at the helm of The Soul Children's fourth LP, Friction. The album begins with the single "I'll Be the Other Woman," penned by Banks and Hampton. Written from a perspective that ran parallel to "I Don't Want to Be Right," the two songwriters explore the female perspective—wherein Shelbra Bennett, one of four members of The Soul Children, who all were capable and interchangeable lead singers, handled the bulk of vocal duties. The song brought The Soul Children a hit, charting at number 3 on the R&B chart and peaking at number 36 on the pop chart.
In the waning days of Stax Records, the two men shifted their focus away from the company, eventually garnering a deal with A&M Records as songwriters in 1975. In 1977, they'd release an album as performers, with their sole release as a duo "Passport to Ecstasy" released on Warner Bros. Records.
Aside from their successes in their era, Banks and Hampton's compositions found new life through the decades in the form of countless covers and sampled materials borrowed from their catalog. The list of seminal artists who put their own spin on "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" features illustrious names such as David Ruffin, Millie Jackson, Barbara Mandrell, and Rod Stewart, many of whom charted with their renditions of the song. Likewise, urban pop star Aaliyah achieved one posthumous hit with "I Care 4 U," a ballad built from a sample of The Newcomers' "(Too Little in Common to Be Lovers) Too Much Going to Say Goodbye," a Hampton and Banks composition released on Truth Records in 1974. Aaliyah's song, co-written by hip-hop super producers Missy Elliott and Timbaland, reached number 3 on the U.S. R&B chart and number 16 on the Billboard Top 100.

Harm to Afghan children leads UN report


Three years ago, the Middle East's cultural heritage faced a grave threat as ISIS and extremist organizations transformed archaeological, historic, and religious sites into a weapon of war, destroying sites from Palmyra to Mosul.
In response to this growing emergency, a multidisciplinary group of experts convened by the Antiquities Coalition, the Middle East Institute (MEI), and the Asia Society came together to explore solutions and serve as an ongoing resource to policymakers.
The resulting 2016 report,, called for new policies, practices, and priorities to reduce heritage destruction and looting, end impunity for the illicit trade in cultural patrimony, and sever this key source of funding for violent extremist groups.
In celebration of World Heritage Day, please join MEI and the Antiquities Coalition for the release of #CultureUnderThreat: Three Years Later, a report on the present status of each of these original recommendations.

Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk and bestselling author of such beloved works as The Seven Storey Mountain and New Seeds of Contemplation. One of the 20th century's great mystics, Merton was also a masterful teacher who delivered powerful conferences to the novice monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani. In these conferences, Merton's thinking moved from cloistered monastic life to issues of social justice and interreligious understanding. A spiritual sage and guide for countless men and women, Merton struggled with complex questions about God's existence and the role of organized religion.
Those who knew him also experienced his gifts as a homilist and teacher. These special, remastered recordings are part of his spoken word legacy. They are actual recordings of Thomas Merton. By agreement with The Thomas Merton Legacy Trust, Now You Know Media has the sole right to record, master, re-master, duplicate, market, and disseminate copies of "The Merton Recordings," which are a selection of the archives housed in the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky.

3 Who Created The Program?
At least that's the impression you get when watching the program's promotional videos on YouTube.
Dunkers are swearing by its effectiveness while showcasing their 40+ inch verticals in action.
But is BoingVert really the new gold standard for vertical jump training? Or is it just another mediocre program with great marketing?
With all the hype surrounding the program, it's almost impossible to tell, at least not without seeing the program from the inside.
But you can't afford to make an uninformed decision if you don't want to risk throwing away your money on yet another program that doesn't deliver results.
In this review, I'm going to give you the unbiased truth about BoingVert and help you decide once and for all if it's right for you.
BoingVert is a program that's been getting a lot of attention lately – hundreds of athletes online swear by its effectiveness.
And yet, there's hardly any information available on what the program is actually about.
This leaves people to guess whether BoingVert is the real deal.
I went deep into research mode and examined every aspect of this program in order to answer all the questions you might have about it.
While Vert Shock and Jump Manual continue to be the most popular vertical jump training programs, BoingVert is gathering its own following, so it deserves a closer look as well.
That's why I decided to purchase the Animal + Monster package of BoingVert and see what's hidden behind the curtain of this mysterious program.
In this review, I will explore each part of the program in-depth, revealing to you the core principles and the juicy behind-the-scenes stuff.
By the end of this review, you'll know everything you need to know about this program, and you'll be able to decide for yourself whether or not it's a fit for you.
Upon logging into the dashboard for the first time, the first thing you see is just how clean the design is – there's no greeting video or even a short paragraph welcoming you aboard the program.
The fact that the program gets right down to business can be a plus as long as the actual details of it are solid.
At the bottom of the home page, you're instructed to take the Animal program first, and the Monster program second, with a three-week break in-between.
After entering the Animal part, you are greeted by the creator of the program, Shawn Myszka, who quickly introduces you to the BoingVert approach, which, according to him, is based on the most cutting-edge scientific advancements in the vertical leap training field.
He also stresses how much focus will be given to improving your form and implementing the correct practices of absorbing contact.
These are areas that are often neglected by other programs, so it sounds very promising, to say the least.
Exploring the Animal part further, everything else is quite straightforward.
You will find a few pages that cover the essentials of this program such as "Exercises", "FAQ" and "Extras". And after going through these pages I was quite impressed – there's literally tons of information in there, and it's organized in a convenient way.
If there's one thing that I didn't like immediately, it's the huge amount of different exercises – that's an instant sign that the program isn't refined enough, as many of the exercises overlap in their purpose.
Anyway, before jumping to conclusions, let's analyze what the program actually looks like.
For those of you who are not in the vertical training circles, the names, Shawn Myszka and Kelly Baggett might sound foreign to you. But the truth is, these two have been successfully working as trainers and coaches for a long time and have a great reputation.
Shawn Myszka is a NSCA certified strength & conditioning specialist and the co-founder of the Explosive Edge Athletics, which has trained some of the best athletes in Minnesota.
Suffice to say, he knows what he's talking about and can be trusted as an expert in the field.
The same goes for Kelly Baggett.
Baggett made a name for himself by writing the now legendary Vertical Jump Bible book.
It was the original cornerstone that paved the way for modern jump programs like The Jump Manual and Vert Shock. And while it's a bit outdated by today's standards, the methods that were taught in it worked, plain and simple.
So, there's no doubt about the credibility of the authors.
The only question is – did they live up to their solid credentials with BoingVert?
BoingVert is a vertical jump training program that's made up out of two separate programs – Animal and Monster.
Animal is a 16-week long program that focuses solely on plyometrics, while Monster is an 11-week long program that's almost exclusively dedicated to weight-training.
Therefore, to really evaluate how well BoingVert performs, we have to look at each of the two programs separately.
The Animal program takes up the bigger part of BoingVert training and is based only on plyometrics.
The program goes deep into many of the essential aspects of vertical jump training – its 32-page eBook provides valuable insights on things like learning to land properly, the key points to jumping higher, the program's general philosophy, how to choose the right footwear, and much more.
After going through the Animal Philosophy eBook, you really get the feeling that the author has done his research.
But enough about theory, let's see what the actual program is all about.
The fact that the Animal Program doesn't rely on any equipment in its exercises is a huge plus, because it can be done outside of a gym or even at home.
However, that doesn't mean the program is easy.
In fact, although you will be training only 2-4 times per week, the workouts are very demanding – the number of reps is quite high and the exercises are very intense.
That makes BoingVert almost impossible to follow during the season, as your muscles will constantly be struggling to recover from the exhausting workouts.
The 16 weeks of the Animal Program are split into six phases, each 2-3 weeks long.
Preview of the Animal workout log – 16 weeks of workouts broken down day by day.
Each of the phases focuses on a different aspect of your jumping ability – preparing your body for the exhausting workouts, teaching you the correct jumping movement patterns, learning to absorb force, and training explosiveness, just to name a few.
But while all of this sounds good in theory, and you can actually get a ton of benefits from doing this program, the workouts themselves are a bit unfocused.
There are simply too many exercises, many of which overlap, and thus you end up overtraining.
Having such a high workload seems like a recipe for disaster, as an overworked body becomes much more vulnerable to injury.
That's why I prefer Vert Shock, which is by far a better plyometrics based program – it has managed to distill the complex science of vertical jump training into simple and easy to follow workouts that don't require any equipment.
While the Animal Program is all about plyometrics, the Monster program is all about strength training.
There are a few exercises that don't require weights, but this part of the program is focused on building sheer power.
And that can be an effective approach.
However, just as with the Animal Program, Monster tries to fit too many exercises into the workouts, leaving you too tired and at risk of injury.
It aims to help you build a solid strength foundation, learn more advanced exercises that combine strength & plyometrics, and maximize your potential as an athlete.
Once again, while there's a lot of solid info, and many of the exercises can be effective, the way they're put together is just not the best approach for achieving results.
If you want a strength-based program that's been around for a long time and has delivered results to thousands of athletes worldwide, you can't go wrong with The Jump Manual. It requires a huge time commitment, but if you're able to follow through, you will definitely see results, which is not a guarantee I can give with BoingVert.
Shawn Myszka knows his stuff when it comes to vertical jump training, that is clearly visible throughout the program.
The Animal Philosophy guide covers vertical jump mechanics thoroughly and does a great job of explaining stuff like choosing the right shoes, absorbing contact safely, the importance of cooling down, and much more. The only program that can compete with BoingVert in terms of depth is The Jump Manual.
While BoingVert is made up of two parts, you can actually get by very well by using just the Animal program. It doesn't require any equipment other than a simple bench, and you can do the program anywhere.
Then again, if you're looking for a program that doesn't use weight training, you won't find a better option than Vert Shock. It's a program developed by Adam Folker that has helped thousands realize their dream of dunking using nothing more than plyometric and "shock" exercises.
Another thing that separates BoingVert from other mediocre programs out there is the amount of attention it gives to proper form. There's a separate section called "Jump Mastery" which focuses exclusively on getting your body to move in the most efficient way when jumping.
While some other programs on the market are developed by dunking stars, who may not know too much about the actual training methods (e.g. Bounce Kit), Shawn Myszka & Kelly Baggett have built their reputation not as dunking celebrities, but as trainers who have helped thousands of athletes maximize their athletic potential.
While BoingVert falls short when compared to established and proven programs like Vert Shock/Jump Manual, it still has a lot of solid info that can help you achieve some results. That's more than what I could say for most of the mediocre programs out there.
BoingVert does an extraordinary job of explaining each exercise clearly in high-quality videos.
These videos are often slow to load and, unfortunately, can only be accessed through the member's area. This can be a pain in the a** when you're in a hurry to complete your workout (speaking from experience here), but at least the quality makes up for it in a way.
In today's world, where most people view content through their phones, being easy to use on mobile is absolutely critical.
Luckily, BoingVert is very convenient to use on the go – everything formats easily to fit different devices, so you can look up the exercises on the phone while doing the workouts outside or at the gym.
While I haven't used this feature, it says you can reach out to the support team with any questions or problems that you might have. This could help cover up some of the flaws of the program, as you could always get advice on specific problems you might have.
BoingVert is much cheaper than most of the other vertical jump programs. At just $33, you can get the Animal and Monster programs together, and from that point of view, BoingVert is a steal.
However, while the price is lower, so is the quality, and even though BoingVert is comprehensive, it is not nearly as refined as other, far more polished, programs such as Jacob Hiller's Jump Manual or Adam Folker's Vert Shock.
As I've already mentioned, BoingVert has a ton of great information in it – the exercises are solid and the philosophy is aligned with the best scientific practices.
However, the program is by no means a finished product. The sheer amount of different exercises in it is a clear sign of it.
A truly finished program doesn't have to rely upon dozens of different exercises, it can achieve the same results in a much more concise and simple way.
In BoingVert's case, it almost seems as if the lack of structure was compensated with quantity. Unfortunately, this also means that the workload on you as an athlete is immense, and that in itself can limit your results.
Another problem that makes BoingVert fall behind other programs is the fact that it's simply too long. You'll have to spend 16 weeks working on the Animal program, and then another 11 weeks on the Monster program.
Considering how hard and intense it is, 27 weeks is a long time.
During this time, you won't be able to play much basketball, because your body will always be busy recovering from the last session.
In comparison, Vert Shock, the hottest program on the market right now, takes just 8 weeks and can be done during the season without a problem.
As I said before, there are simply too many exercises in the program. A lot of these exercises don't have a clear purpose and they overlap with others.
Since the program only provides the 'big picture' philosophy, but not the explanation behind each exercise, we are left to guess the reasoning behind some of the workouts.
Because of its intensity, you won't be able to keep up with the program during the season – it takes more than seven months to complete!!!
Anyone who's playing for their high school or college team will run into some serious problems with it. Your legs will constantly be tired from all the weight training, and your athletic ability will suffer.
What's even worse, this kind of stress on your body during the season will greatly increase your risk of injury.
Forget trying to do it over the season.
Because of this, I'd highly recommend sticking to proven plyometric-based programs like Vert Shock – it's safe to do during the season and relies on workouts that are usually under an hour long.
BoingVert is a collection of very solid individual parts – its creator, Shawn Myszka, has put together a great jump training philosophy that covers most of the essential components.
However, the program is simply not refined enough to be considered a finished product. There are way too many exercises, it is way too long, and the workouts are very intense – which means you won't be able to do it in-season.
If you're planning to do the program during the off-season, that's fine.
Otherwise, take into consideration the fact that 80% of the things you do (other than BoingVert) will have to be cut down in order to fit this program into your schedule.
That's almost impossible if you're an active athlete.
Simply doesn't fit most athletes.
And in a time when there are much less limiting programs out there that are far more superior, I can't recommend BoingVert as my top choice.
Therefore, if you're looking for a program that is comprehensive enough, yet much more refined at the same time, The Jump Manual would be a better option.
Alternatively, if you just want quick results and workouts that don't require any equipment, Vert Shock is another option that's far better.
Either way, I don't see a reason why you should impose on yourself BoingVert's limitations, not when there are other alternatives that do the same thing better.
I just bought the program and plan on starting next week. I already have a 35' vertical but we'll see how much this program helps, it's mostly genetics but I'll keep you updated.

Abdullah rejects Afghan prez election result
Asianlite Newsdesk
Chief Executive of Afghanistan Abdullah Abdullah addresses the General Debate of the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly at the UN headquarters in New York, on Sept. 26, 2018. (Xinhua/Qin Lang/IANS)
Of the 1,824,401 votes considered valid, Ghani got 923,868 votes compared to Abdullah, who received 720,099 votes, IEC head Hawa Alam Nuristani said in a press conference on Sunday…reports Asian Lite News
Chief Executive of Afghanistan Abdullah Abdullah (Xinhua/Qin Lang/IANS)
The campaign team of Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah has said that it would not accept the results of the September 28 presidential election, which has been won by the current head of state, President Ashraf Ghani.
The 59-year-old Abdullah's campaign said in a statement on Sunday that the candidate's Stability and Convergence Team would not accept any results based on fraud, reports Efe news.
Election officials said Sunday that Ghani was on course to winning the presidential election, the results of which were delayed by months due to protests over allegations of electoral fraud.
The vote tally, released by the Independent Election Commission (IEC) and conducted nearly three months after the election, showed that Ghani garnered 50.64 per cent of the ballots cast, followed by Abdullah with 39.50 per cent.
Of the 1,824,401 votes considered valid, Ghani got 923,868 votes compared to Abdullah, who received 720,099 votes, IEC head Hawa Alam Nuristani said in a press conference on Sunday.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar finished in third place, with 70,243 votes, or 3.85 per cent of the total, the IEC said.
On September 28, only 2.7 million of the 9.6 million people eligible came out to vote, a very low turnout rate mainly due to continued threats from the Taliban and people's mistrust of the electoral process.
Mohammad Ashraf Ghani (Xinhua/Rahmatullah Alizadah/IANS)
Of the total votes cast, 1.92 million were biometrically verified and of these only 1.8 million were declared valid by the commission.
Abdullah's campaign organization has said almost since the start of the vote count that some 300,000 fraudulent or suspicious ballots had been cast.
The preliminary results were initially scheduled to be announced on October 19, but the release of the tally was pushed to November 14 and then postponed indefinitely due to technical problems and interference by candidates in the process.
The delays were mainly caused by Abdullah's supporters, who decided to block the recount and audit of votes in seven of Afghanistan's 34 provinces.
Candidates have three days to file complaints about the results with the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission.
The final results will be announced after the IECC addresses all claims.

Hi! My name is Joanne and I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia with my husband and two boys, ages 3 and 4. My blog is about making mostly easy, great tasting recipes, food and fun found while traveling in the US and abroad, mom related topic and DIY-Do It Yourself projects.
I put my career as an Information Technology professional in the financial services industry on hold so I can be a stay-at-home mom when my first son was born 4 years ago. The very next year, we were blessed with our second son! The transition to motherhood was quite an adventure-immense joy, sleepless nights, lots of kisses and hugs, isolation from people, adorable faces, lots of screaming! Joining Moms' groups saved me! Becoming a mom is the most important job I've ever had. We have fun being together and like to share our food and fun with you.
I am first generation Italian and food and wine is in my blood. Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera are my favorites! I have a passion for cooking and baking and like to share my creations. A recipe starts as a blank canvas and evolves to a work of art and in some cases, even a masterpiece!
We also love traveling and exploring other cultures. We skied in Lake Tahoe, wine tasted in Napa and Sonoma, drove through the desert during an amazing sun rise, ate fresh lobster and New England Clam chowder in Maine, and saw the splendor of the bright red, orange and yellow leaves of Vermont in the fall. We've been on both sides of Florida and visited my family in southern Italy 10 or so times while visiting Greece, France and Switzerland. Italy is absolutely beautiful and has some of the best food I've ever tasted, but I suppose I'm partial to it because I was raised eating great, authentic Italian food.
I'm very excited to kick-off this blog and get to know my readers. Thanks for visiting and hope you'll come back soon!

Refugee crisis: three women found dead in Greece
World, Oct 12th
Three women attempting to reach Europe were found dead with their necks slashed close to the border of Turkey and Greece.
The bodies of the women were discovered near the Greek village Pragi on Wednesday by a local farmer. The women were found 50 metres from the River Evros which extends along the land border between Turkey and Greece.
The three victims' nationalities remain undetermined, but they appear to be from North African, Middle Eastern or Asian origins. Their identities remain unknown. One of the victims is believed to be under 15 years of age, while the other is between 17 and 21. The third victim is thought to be between 30–35 years old. The coroner reported that the women were killed approximately four days before the bodies were discovered and he has zero doubt the deaths were caused by a criminal act. DNA tests will be conducted to determine if the women are related.
'They were found with their hands bound, each body about two or three meters away from the other. Their throats were cut right across.'
The River Evros is a commonly used entry point for refugees attempting to enter Greece. Over 10,000 refugees are reported to have arrived in Greece in the first half of 2018 by crossing the Evros.
There were previous reports of refugees suffering violence in the Evros region.

ISIS Fighters Cross Euphrates River, Attack Syrian Army In Southern Deir Ezzor 4 out of 5 based on 8 ratings. 8 user reviews.
ISIS Fighters Cross Euphrates River, Attack Syrian Army In Southern Deir Ezzor
Illustrative image, By SANA
On June 3, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies repelled an attack of ISIS on their positions east of the town of Hasrat along the western bank of the Euphrates River in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). Reportedly, the SAA killed and injured most of ISIS fighters who participated in the attack.
Later, the Hezbollah media wing in Syria revealed that ISIS fighters had launched their attack from the town of al- Shaafah on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River and had used small boats to cross the river. A military source also confirmed to SouthFront that ISIS fighters crossed the Euphrates River successfully and managed to capture several positions before they were detected by the SAA and its allies.
Al-Shaafah, which is located south of the town of Hajin, is supposedly besieged by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This fact allowed many Syrian pro-government activists to suggest that US-backed forces facilitated the attack on the western bank of the Euphrates River.
According to local observers, ISIS was trying to open a route which would have allowed its besieged fighters along the eastern bank of the Euphrates to withdraw towards the Homs desert in central Syria.

where the people telling me off yesterday……….I told u folks the next attack will be in dei e zoor area…i wrote " the fuckin us/jew terrorists will attack close to T2 or T3 or Palmyra…."…….LOL
people wake up….russia is controlled by them fucking jews just as the us……….history 1917 was the jewish takeover of russia with 20 million dead frrom 1917 till 1935…….
stop that nonsense talk of agreements and such……the JEWS want a one world governemnt with jerusalem as its capital under jewish satanic leadership. Thats the fuckin truth.period.
You are right about the jews and their wet dreams and wrong about Russia being controlled by the jews. As I know already that you are also on the jew pay roll I shall not waste time to reason. Wait and see what happens. You might be surprised.
look bro…History…1917 what happened the so called russian revolution…..everyone of the top 100 "communists" was a jew.fact.
and from 1917 to 1935 over 20 million native russians were murdered.fact!!!!!!!!!
I seriously dont understand why I have to write FACTS here, and people keep vcoming with "wait and see..surprise coming" sorry bro….if you´re not in the upper echelon of power in russia and have a direct line to putin…u r guessing.I´m not.
and i wont write no more of history…read..learn.and stop guessing about zthings u want to become true.I too want a lottery win, a supermodel as wife…but thats a wish.
If u sit back a minute, and look how syria has developed…..yes its true the terrorists headchoppers have been defeated in alot of plaves in syria, with the help of the russian air force.but now look ata the big picture.
Turkey has now invaded the north of syria under the eyes of russia.
Israel has been constantly bombing syria..over 120 times already under the eyes of russia.
Nato has built over 3 dozen bases in syria under the eyes of russia
russia wants/tells/announces that iranian and hezbollah forces have to leave syria
russia sells S-300/S-400 to all kinds of countries including latest news was rwanda, but hey syria nada
nato has constantly bombed SAA forces in the east everytime when they legitamitly wanted to take back THEIR country….russia nada
syria wants to take back the west of daraa area..nato warns of engagement and russia talks of agreements
Russia with nato are pulling the strings ever tighter and tighter and tighter…..so yeah syria has damascus, aleppo, palmyra etc… but most border areas are now controlled by foreign forces.
I repeat.
Most border areas are now controlled by foreigners.north-turkey, most of the south by us or iraqi proxies, west israel and east nato…great plan…. and now russia tells hezbollah and iranian forces to leave …. super plan…..
the end is crystal clear…
neil barron
Because facts can be twisted as you are and the name is fitting a NUMB and DUMB hater of life in general. Of use to nobody same as anyone living in the past "Arabs".
Volker Burkert
"Most border areas are now controlled by foreigners.north-turkey, most of the south by us or iraqi proxies, west israel and east nato."
That may be so, but what you are not saying is that much of that "border area" to the south-est and the east is a lot of uninhabited desert. The most important "border" for Syria, and the one you conveniently fail to mention, is the one that Syria controls and that gives Syria access to the entire world, is the "border" to the Mediterranean sea. That is 100 times more important than 500 miles of border in the desert. Syria with the help of Russia fought very hard to keep that access to the rest of the word in its possession.
Well that port to the mediterranean sea (Tartus) is controlled by Russia.

ISIS is in Russia?! I never knew.
alejoeisabel
You are insane to believe that the "Jews" took over the Russian Empire in 1917. The Russian masses overthrew the corrupt Czar's regime. What did the Bolsheviks inherit from the Czar? An 80% peasant society with 90% illiteracy (Russian Jews were always the most educated in the Russian Empire). That is what the Czar and the Orthodox Church did to Russia, kept them in the intellectual darkness of humanity. In the First World War, the Prussian Army has a literacy of over 75% and the Russian Army was less than 25%. The Czar had to buy his weapons from his enemies which is why during the first war, the Czarist army ran out of bullets. After the end of the Civil War, the Bolsheviks ("Jews") engaged in a massive literacy and university education plan. In twenty years till the start of WWII, the Soviet education level rose to the level of the Germans. If you want to accuse the "Jews" of anything, accuse them of educating the ignorant Russian masses.
** educating the ignorant Russian masses. **
Those of them they didn't starve, torture, shoot, or enslave.

Religion(Judaism) took no part in the Russian Revolution, lol stop trolling you muzzy nazi
Ha ha ha!!! Oh man. And there are people out there who STILL hang on the the belief that Daesh are finished!! They just keep coming and coming and coming and there will NEVER be any stopping them!!
It's logical. Anywhere you find USA, you find ISIS. It's very logical.
because daesh is 100% controlled by jewish interests, hence they are buddies of the british,of the us etc…..
isis is a covert operation by mossad…always was, always will be……iraq was decimated and practically takenover from 1998 onwards…..all those thousands of suicide attacks that took place by alqaida or isiis were all mossad operations, to decimate the iraqi population and create chaos..
remember the sentence " ORDER OUT OF CHAOS"…..lol that was the plan…and they executed it perfectly…….

You wanna bet?
Dream on …..
ISIS-Daesh were created by Israel-USA-NATO, with the help of Qartar, Saudis, Jordan and Turkey to destroy Syria. Israel sold these fantic mercenaries seudo-muslim the idea of an Islamic State, just to form a big terrorists group to put them in Syria to make the job. Enough money with few imans are enough to convince fool (or needed) people. However, Russia-Syria-Hezboah-Iran armies are destroying these animals everywhere in Syria.
Still don't fight ISIS in this region ?? XD. One year ago, USA and Russia were grabbing lands as the speed of light. Now, one year and they did nothing. XD.

IF Idlib and the Desert near Deir Ezzor had not been left as a Toxic Waste Tip for all the US Coalition of Terrorists it would have taken far longer to clear the pockets of Takfiri terrorists.
It would have also been impractical for the Syrian government to create vast POW camps to house many tens of thousands the terrorist scum. As well as internment camps for their families. All too many of whom are not Syrian Nationals anyway.
Perhaps you should start a campaign for them to settle in the USA Serious ? :)
Many of them have been on the US payroll anyway
How do you expalin the fact that one year ago, Russia and USA were grabbing lands at the speed of light and now, 1 year, no move.
Except of course for Ghouta, Duma, Yarmouk Camp, The large pocket in Northern Homs, Western Aleppo toward the Idlib border,A large chunk of the Syrian desert near DeirEzzor.
Routes that once opened for ISIS and Al-Qaeda will be closed for the regional nations. US and Israel practically holding Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi, Yemeni etc nations hostage and keeping them separate from each other.
So they will be not able to help each other by free trade and share their defense hardware and army forces. Once they are not united then Israel and US can easily air strike them.
Try my plan. Remove USA from Iraq and Syria and see what happen. ISIS is dead in two weeks.
1 week lol
When tere is a firefighter who put fire, maybe try to remove it. XD.. I don't know. It's so obvious. But, I don't know. Talking with stupid people is useless and waste of time and energy.
The fucking lying scheming fake jews they work so hard to fool the american goyim to fight and pay for their wars for them fake jews will only stop when they are taken head on,they are sneaky cowards at heart,that's why they created Isis out of the inside job 911 and lied about Iraqi WMDs,the same with Syrian fake chemical attacks,while at the same time they slaughter unarmed Palestinians. You can't make this shit up,the Synagogue of Satan.
shut up Nazi
Shut up hooked nosed POS.
Ruskies should clearly tell to yanks: either they clean that ISI pocket, or SAA will with RuAF.
Don't you know? The U.S. is having trouble locating ISIS troops on the ground. If they only knew where the ISIS troops are I am SURE they U.S. would attack them.
Would local Kurdish forces facilitate an attack across the river? Perhaps. But know they do so without any help or approval from Washington.
The Kurds and Iraqis are far to disunited to be effective against anything but easy pickings, so don't misuse the word 'supposedly.'
Israeli migrants should keep their forces 60 km away from Golan Heights……
Israeli migrants in Daraa and Golan Heights have buildup underground hospitals, depots, tunnel networks and underground basements….
"ISIS FIGHTERS CROSS EUPHRATES RIVER"
Transported on the other side by their allays terrorists US and Turds.
Assad must stay (gr8rambino)
very nice repelling it SAA!!! :)))
As everybody already know, USA works with ISIS for planing and doing attacks to Syria army. Well, Syria army must be very careful with ISIS, USA, and kurds and no to have overconfidence.
Sounds more like the SAA discovered a few small groups that slipped over to pick up some supplies.
