As in autumn when fall the leaves
One close upon the other, until the bough
Sees its leavings upon the ground,
So the offspring of Adam depart one by one from that shore;
They journey over the dark water,
And even before they are arrived at the far side,
A new crowd has gathered upon this one. — DANTE
Drawing by Lesley Chen.
The bright fluorescent lights and featureless walls of the ferry terminal come as something of a shock after the congenial sunshine and peaceful reveries of the Battery. The words "STATEN ISLAND FERRY" appear over the entrance in letters six feet tall, in a garish neon blue. Beneath is an indented and irregularly shaped entrance, like the gaping mouth of an anglerfish on its side. It ushers you into a spacious atrium of glass and steel, where despite the high ceilings and generous dimensions, you are not tempted to linger. The escalators are right before you, and their constant upward motions summon you into the waiting room.
Here you find the crowds, in a large but irregularly shaped hall. As is so often true of places where people must frequently wait a half hour or an hour for the next conveyance, there is nothing worth a long look. The walls are of an indeterminate metallic stuff and are unadorned. Letters cut out of plastic sheathing identify a newsstand, a store that sells popcorn, and a bank of payphones. The phones are outmoded already and go unused, but no worry: the sign indicating their presence is held on with just a few screws, and will be removed easily enough. Three rows of stone benches filled with people sit oddly off-center near the middle of the hall.
The people take on the look of the terminal and offer little to the eye. The tourists fidget with their maps and guidebooks; the commuters droop with boredom and fatigue. In front of you a large electronic billboard runs messages in orange letters three feet tall, angling for idle eyes. "50,000 PEOPLE SEE THIS BILLBOARD DAILY," it scrolls at you. Then it blinks three times: "ADVERTISE HERE ADVERTISE HERE ADVERTISE HERE." When you turn away, you find two more billboards with identical messages.
Occasionally there is a preacher in the terminal, drawn as they always are by the captive audience, the principles of preaching and advertising being here as often consanguine. One very literal-minded young man, always evangelically dressed in dark pants, a white shirt, a red tie, and a tan overcoat, but with an unusual droopy moustache, reads a verse or two of the Good Word, and then offers a simple commentary, in the following style: [reading] "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, he will enter into the kingdom of heaven." [Looking up] "Here Jesus is saying that not everyone who says, 'Lord, Lord,' to him will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of his Father, who is in heaven, will enter the kingdom of heaven." He then proceeds to the next verse. I have heard sermons worse than this.
The terminal was recently remodeled; older visitors to Staten Island will remember a cylindrical building made of corrugated metal which sat on the edge of Manhattan like a can of tuna. The old terminal was one of the places where New York's homeless could go without much harassment. So they congregated there, especially in the winter when the terminal was snugly (even stiflingly) heated. Though I have lived in New York all of my 26 years, I never grow accustomed to the fact that just two hundred feet from expensive restaurants on Battery Park, and amongst corporate headquarters where nothing is thought of throwing out hundreds of thousands of dollars of computer equipment because it is a minute too slow, there could be people who have not showered or slept on a bed in six months. I would see them night after night, the same people, and in their beards in the morning I could see the crumbs of what I saw them eating the past evening.
Every now and again a police officer would come around, waking them up or telling them to get on the ferry; his logic being that they are waiting at the ferry terminal, and have a right to remain there only if they board the boat. I was always struck by the pity inscribed in the faces of the officers, and the moral uncertainty, as they did their duty to clear the terminal; at times they would become quite nasty, because it was clear that they did not wish to be doing what they were doing. The homeless would get on the ferry, cross the Harbor and return again to Manhattan, to sleep in the terminal once more. Frequently they would not sleep, but rather curse or sing or accost others, especially the pretty women. Their disorderly presence clearly disturbed the commuters, who would often stand by the wall rather than sit on the benches, though it was clear that many of them were quite tired. It is hard to maintain one's spirit and hope when one's daily path takes one past such Sphinxes of our society, who ask us daily the enigma of poverty and sorrow and loneliness. And though they let us go by today, we cannot escape the fear that someday they will demand an answer to their riddle, and not let us pass without a solution.
These Sphinxes are elsewhere now, their riddle unsolved, and the terminal is neat and clean. In fact the terminal has been made almost indistinguishable from the rest of Water Street, the long line of glass and steel buildings at the southern tip of Manhattan. You can imagine a building rising 50 identical storeys above your head, and the doors to your right, which the crowd is now gathering around with some impatience, you can picture as a bank of elevators.
But surely this is not what the tourists came to see, or where these commuters want to be? There are buildings like this in every city in America. But come: the ferry is here; the slip doors are opening; the crowds are pressing close together to board the boat; the funnel is no place for the drop to linger; it is time to ride upon the waters and seek other shores.

Delaware train station will carry the Biden name
Wilmington's Amtrak station is the 12th busiest among train stations. This Saturday it's going to receive a special honor.
The station located on Wilmington's riverfront will be dedicated as the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Railroad station. It's an honor being given the Vice President and former U.S. Senator from Delaware. He spent his 36 years in the Senate as a frequent passenger of Amtrak.
The station recently underwent a $37.7 million renovation. New safety improvements and passenger information services were apart of the upgrade. Dignitaries will unveil a plaque dedicating the station. That will be followed by an open house from 12-3 where the public can view an Amtrak and SEPTA coach car as well as tour the station.
Funding for the project came from Amtrak ($5.7 million), stimulus money ($20 million), the Delaware Department of Transportation ($2 million), and appropriations obtained by Delaware's Congressional delegation ($10 million).
The Wilmington Train station was designed by famed architech Frank Furness. First Experience took a history tour of the station for you to view. Amtrak has also set up a Facebook page for anyone who wants to add their memories of the station.

The city has received more attention in the past two months than ever before, but now the 'Biden focus' shifts to Washington.

will this fix the stuck notes?
The problem I have (and have always had) is the multitimbral function. Whether in Pro Tools or Logic, any time I load a VSTi like Omnisphere, for example, ALL channels will control everything. I can set the MIDI properly on the MPC, set the channel properly in the instrument AND set the channel in the track in the DAW but it just will not separate performances. Highlighting the tracks, record arm vs not, every combination of procedures you can think of and it just will NOT work right. I choose a synth in channel one, choose channel 1A on the MPC and record. no problem.
Go to Channel 2 in the Synth, new sound. change the next track in Logic to MIDI channel 2. new track in the mpc, set it to 2A....and that's where the problems start. the performance of track 1 will still override everything, no matter what. Honestly it's driving me to abandon my 5K and look into the new Maschine Studio.
The other problem I have never been able to solve is no matter HOW you record midi into the mpc (I use a M-Audio Keystation 88es for the record), once you stop the sequence and hit start, ALL notes go to full volume, each time. If i turn the volume down in the VST, once I hit play, it shoots right back up.
All VERY frustrating. I guess I could slave the MPC to the DAW, but then that would defeat the whole purpose of having a hardware sequencer if I have to sequence midi in the computer and only internal sounds of the MPC via itself. smh.
Tutor has you covered. its covered in this ebook. (if i understand your issue correctly) trust me you will have no more issues with this.

In Pro Tools, you need to make sure that the Instruments section of the Mix or Edit Windows is visible, from View menu, and then set the MIDI input device and channel for each track as you require them, instead of taking the MIDI input from 'ALL' channels.
In Logic, in Project Settings/Recording, in the MIDI section, make sure that the 'Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording' checkbox is ticked, set the desired MIDI channel on each instrument track in Logic, record enable all the MIDI tracks that you want to control from the MPC.
Yeah, I've got the hang of this method and I think I'll stick with it. But I saw a demo (which i got to work ONCE for a few seconds before I made one change and screwed it up, never to get it working again) where a guy made a MIDI Environment in Logic where he created a Physical Input, and Multi Instrument and a Channel Splitter. He ran the port of the USB MIDI Interface (as configured in Audio MIDI setup in the OS X Utilities) to the mulit instrument, then ran that through the channel splitter. That way no tracks had to be record-armed. he simply loaded whatever he wanted and changed channels in the MPC and it all controlled perfectly.
Oh well. I definitely appreciate the response.

Yep, that is another method, take the MIDI outputs from the Physical Input object directly to channels, rather than from the Sum output to the Sequencer input as is standard.
Does get a little confusing for beginners though, so I didn't mention it.
If you want help getting that method going, let me know, will try to help.
I'm trying to see how well I can work with the first method but i'll definitely keep the other option open if I find it can be more productive.
I remember reading the mention of it years ago but have never been able to find a solution, either online or alone.
Is the volume jumping issue in Logic?
Maybe go into the event list view for the tracks where it is happening, and make sure that there are no MIDI CC volume messages that are changing the volume?
Also maybe check that there is no volume automation on those tracks?
SimonInAustralia wrote: Is the volume jumping issue in Logic?
Happens both in Logic and Pro Tools. Fresh out the gate. I don't set any type of volume-related automation or anything. How would I check what messages are going out?
Forgive the ignorance, I'm relatively new to Logic, btw.
Logic displays incoming and outgoing MIDI messages in the transport window.
You could also run a utility like SNoise MIDI Monitor.
Strange that it is happening with both Logic and Pro Tools.
SimonInAustralia wrote: Logic displays incoming and outgoing MIDI messages in the transport window.
Funny thing just happened not even a minute ago and I found it out completely by accident.
Turns out it's the Q-links. They are sending a message to whatever track is selected. But only Fader Q1 and knob Q5. When you go to MIXER MODE and go into the "TrkMix" tab, Q1 and Q5 automatically control the selected track's volume and pan in Logic. By default, the values of all tracks in the MPC are all the way up, so THAT message was being sent to Logic. So if, for example, I set the volume half way down and the pan hard left, no matter what screen I'm in on the MPC, the selected track in Logic will follow suit the second I press Play on the MPC. Whatever value those two Q-links are set to in TrkMix will automatically be sent to the selected track in Logic.
So I guess what I need to do is figure out how to stop the Q-links from sending data.
And in even more confusing news, all midi control numbers in the Q link edit screen are set to OFF.....this is getting weirder by the second.

After more than a year, the major renovations to Amma's Dallas-area ashram are finally complete, and over the weekend of September 1-3, 2018, devotees came from all over the region to celebrate and take part in various activities and programs at the beautiful rural property located just north of Denton, Texas.
Local Satsang members took advantage of the many opportunities for karma yoga, or selfless service, by cleaning and preparing the main house and outside property, including decorating the newly expanded temple hall, for hosting overnight guests and locals who came for the programs. There was so much to be done, but with Amma's grace and much sincere self-effort, it all came together!
On Saturday morning, Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya opened the program and inaugurated the new space by performing a beautiful puja. Afterwards, he gave a talk in which he compared the birth, or re-birth of the Dallas ashram, to the birth of a baby, albeit one that had a rather long gestation of a year! Developing that theme, he encouraged everyone present to care for and love the ashram as we would care for our own child, nurturing it and helping it to grow and thrive. He also noted that Amma has said that the ashrams are her own body, and that serving the ashram is the same as serving Amma herself.
Following his satsang, he led the assembly in bhajans, leading off with "Yavarkkum Tayana Amma Ni" - "Oh, Mother, how will I describe you?" and ending with an inspiring rendition of "Jai Jai Janani," a hymn of praise to the divine feminine.
After the offering of the arathi flame before the altar, Swamiji led the peace prayer "Om Lokaha Samastaha Sukino Bhanvantu," (May the whole world be happy), and then distributed prasad to all assembled.
A delicious vegetarian lunch, lovingly prepared by local volunteers, was then served. Swamiji spoke about the recent devastating floods that had affected the Indian state of Kerala where Amma's home ashram at Amritapuri is located. The proceeds from the lunch will go to benefit Kerala flood relief.
On Sunday morning, Swamiji guided 23 retreatants in a one-day silent retreat. Sessions of seated meditation alternated with walking meditation. A light lunch was taken mindfully in silence. A session of karma yoga, or seva followed lunch as the participants all took different areas in which to serve, including cleaning and doing projects.
At the end of the day, Swamiji talked about the goddess Saraswati, who governs speech, and said that we should strive for the first words that we speak in coming out of silence to follow these principles: Be brief or succinct, be true, or be sweet. Participants came out of silence and some shared insights or experiences that had come to them during the day.
An air of celebration hung in the air as the silent retreat came to a peaceful and fulfilling end, and the MACD's Krishna Janmashtami celebration began in the evening. It started off with the 108 names of Sri Krishna resounding through the spacious satsang hall, followed by Shantamrita Swami's talk which included vintage photos of Amma's Krishna Bhava and anecdotes of Krishna's various antics as a little boy.
Upbeat bhajans kept spirits high, helping the participants imagine the joy and excitement of the Lord being born in our midst. The evening ended with a wholesome potluck dinner prepared by the satsang devotees.
May we all continue to experience the spirit of Sri Krishna in our daily routine.
On Monday, Shantamrita Swamiji facilitated a meeting to discuss future plans, programs, activities and visions for the MA Center Dallas. A number of devotees were present from the Dallas area, Austin, Houston, Kansas, Oklahoma, San Antonio, either in person or by conference phone. All were encouraged by Swamiji to share their ideas, concerns, and comments. The meeting was followed by lunch, and more sharing.
We were all very grateful to have had such a full, inspiring, and celebratory weekend with Br. Shantamrita Chaitanya, who will return for the next major program - Amma's birthday celebration on September 22, 2018!


"Back to Blues Rock", a journey through the basics for FURIOUS ZOO, Renaud HANTSON's side project when he's not singing in solo or with SATAN JOKERS. The quartet regularly plays in clubs, concerts halls and festivals of the Hexagon, with this seventh album they decided to synthesize everything they like in Blues and Rock two years after the release of the highly successful "Wock n ' Woll - Furioso VI".
Renaud HANTSON's voice is amazing on all the songs and we discover the various faces of the singer whose only purpose today is to leave a trace in a music business in distress.

Els arára, també anomenats arára do Pará o ukarãngmã són un poble indígena, que viu a l'estat de Pará, Brasil. Són coneguts pel seu progrés en la guerra i les pràctiques de manteniment de trofeus, així com per la seva capacitat d'interacció i acomodació de pobles no nadius. Mantingueren una existència nòmada i sovint es casaven amb membres d'altres tribus. Habiten a les terres indígenes Arara i Cachoeira Seca do Iriri. L'assentament més gran dels arára és el poble de Laranjal.

Història
Els arára han estat en contacte amb persones alienes des de la dècada de 1850. Van tenir trobades pacífiques amb forasters al llarg del riu Xingu i del riu Iriri. Des del 1889 fins al 1894, van ser assetjats pels cautxers.

Llengua
Els arára parlen arára de Pará, també coneguda com a ajujure, que és una llenguja carib. El seu codi lingüístic ISO 639-3 és "aap". Uns pocs arára també parlen portuguès brasiler.

Infographic: ISIS activity in Syria in 2020
Tuesday, 12 January 2021 - 10:32
ISWNews Analysis Group: The official media of ISIS claimed to have carried out 593 terrorist operations in Syria in 2020.
According to information provided by ISIS, in 2020, 593 attacks were carried out against the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Syrian Army and other Syrian militants, and a total of 1327 people lost their lives or were injured in these attacks. Also, 292 armored, military and transport vehicles were destroyed or damaged by ISIS.
Statistics from 2020 have been released while since the beginning of 2021, the ISIS group has significantly increased its activities, including ambushes, booby traps and limited operations in the Syrian desert.
It seems that this terrorist group does not seek to occupy government-controlled positions and areas, but with these limited and surprising operations, it seeks casualties from the Syrian army and wants to continue its presence and guarantee its future presence in these areas.
Since the beginning of 2021, at least 44 Syrian troops have been killed in ISIS attacks in the Syrian desert, most of them in the eastern desert of Hama, and Russian fighter jets have bombed ISIS positions in the Syrian desert more than 400 times.

Anyone who knows Carrie, Myself and my family, we are serious animal lovers. We are so honored and humbled to receive an endorsement from this great organization that trains service animals. New Mexico Service Dog Teams endorses Gregg Hull for Mayor.


Today, we bring you the first in our new series, "In Their Own Words," which will showcase guest blog posts by local musicians on all sides of the spectrum. Kicking things off is Zach Vinson – please listen to his tune "Swim Until It Takes" here. If you are a local artist and would like to contribute, please contact us here. And talk back to Vinson in the comments section.
Well, it's another one of those steamy, blistering days here in Nashville. The calendar still says May, but my Wisconsin-born body thinks it must be the hottest day in July or August. This will be my second full summer here, which means I survived the first—although I'm still not sure how. Does it get easier? Anyone? I could use a hopeful word.
I grew up in a land of mild summers along the shores of Lake Michigan, dreaming that I'd be a musician until I was old and grey. It was an easy dream to have, and a pretty cool one besides. It made the girls think I was artsy and mysterious (which made up for me being short and scrawny).
I knew I would be a musician, I worked hard to get there, and I never made a Plan B. I've always thought that having a Plan B was for people who were bound to give up on Plan A. Bold move, Mr. Vinson.
Fast forward about a decade or so—I moved to Nashville, and everything changed. Now, I know quite a few "successful" musicians here in town, and more power to them. I mean that. To be able to carve out any semblance of a career in this crapshoot of an industry is a remarkable accomplishment.
But this word is to the rest of us.
I don't think I realized it, but my identity has long been wrapped up in my abilities as a musician. It seemed to work pretty well for me in my wanderings around the Midwest the last several years—it was an uncommon career choice, and it had a bit of caché to it.
But moving to Nashville, as a musician, is like crossing the border from one country to another only to find that the $10 you have to buy lunch is now worth $.50.
Suddenly I had no value as a musician. I spent my days washing dishes in a restaurant, so there certainly wasn't any dignity to be found there either. And just like that, I had no sense of worth.
I think this was a good thing.
I'm slowly learning to re-value myself as a created human being, not as a musician. And I'm slowly learning to see other people in the same terms. Thank goodness.
As far as my music goes, I've been lost in a web of confusion and discouragement for a while now, and most days I have no sense of direction whatsoever. I still don't have a Plan B, but sometimes that looks more foolish than brave. I know I can't possibly be the only one thinking like this in town, but we Nashvillians aren't much good at making these confessions. Can we have a conversation now?
Maybe my music isn't good enough. Maybe yours isn't either, and no one has ever been kind enough to sit you down and tell you that. Maybe you aren't working hard enough, or maybe you're just not enough of a people person, because we all know that counts for something in this town. Maybe your music will never be appreciated by more than a couple dozen people.
And maybe all of those things are ok. Maybe we're not all musicians. Maybe we're all humans.

Review done for Reading Café …..
Lindsay Sterling's niece has gone missing in the New York underground and the cops do nothing except pass along a name. Jack Cole. Twenty years ago they were good buddies but horrors have changed them both. Lindsay lost her entire family except for her niece in a car accident, and Jack was held captive in New York's underbelly for nearly two years by demented sub-humans. It was a soul-sucking experience that's left him a shell of a man. He refuses to descend into that hell again, especially for a girl who's probably dead anyway. But when Lindsay is nearly killed there after going it alone, Jack feels compelled to save her skin. Jack navigates Lindsay through a strange territory, populated with the eccentric, the insane and the desperate. Each encounter takes them closer to Lindsay's niece but also closer into the clutches of the mad creatures that will enslave them.
Undertow by S.M. Stelmack was an excellent adventure. I give it a 4/5 rating This book is full of danger, intrigue and friendships. Imagine a city under a city, levels of this city divided, until we get to the lowest of the low. Each level has their hierarchy, rules and laws. At the top we have running water and electricity. Each level goes deeper and deeper, until we hit total darkness. And the monsters.
Lindsay once had a friend called Jack, they were inseparable. Jack was the ultimate adventurer, he would travel underground searching for treasures and stories to tell his avid follower. An incident in their past puts a strain on their friendship. Then Jack and his father have to move away, this is the end of the dynamic duo. But they keep in touch, postcards, letters and birthday phone calls. Then a blow rocks Lindsay's world, and she cuts Jack out if her life forever…..
We jump ahead eighteen years. Lindsay's worse nightmare comes true, she loses her remaining family member underground. The police can't help, due to lack of funds and manpower. She is given a name and number to contact, to her shock, it's Jack's name looking back at her.
Tracking him down, she arrives at a rundown building, where she meets a mountain called Reggie. Getting past Reggie to see Jack is a challenge in it's self.
Their meeting doesn't go as planned. He is cold, distant and totally disinterested in her plight. Undeterred, Lindsay plans to go underground and look for her niece. Packing a rucksack full of things she will need, Lindsay ventures to Grand Central Station, in search of a guide, to take her underground. She meets a bunch of youths who promise to take her to the people she needs to see. Only trouble in the shape of a knife is what she gets. Reggie rescues her, and takes her back to Jack. Jack relents and tells her that he will take her underground, and to be ready the next morning.
Along the journey, we meet characters, who know of Jack the legend. (it seems Jack has his own underground story to tell, which we get to see in flash backs)
Jack has loved Lindsay since childhood, but Jack is broken. The moles (who are at the bottom of the underground social network, but are feared by everyone) broke him, tried to remould him into someone else. Jack's flashbacks are very important to the story, we get to see them try to break him, and all the horrors he was forced to endure.
The moles want their property back (Jack being theirs), and will do anything to keep him from returning to the surface. Jack and Lindsay reconnect and their love for one another begins to grow, from the child worship to adult love. The story is fast paced and nail biting, right up to the ending.
What I liked about this book was the adventure, I could see this as a movie, the monsters scary enough for any horror fan. It flowed really well. And it felt like real time, as there was the sleep, eating, fighting and escape. Do they rescue her niece ? Do they find happiness, or will reality set in ? Well I'm afraid you will have to read this amazing book yourself.
My only niggle, the end felt a little rushed, I thought there would be a meeting, or a showdown.
I will be putting it on my kindle list. I can't recommend it enough. It really was a ride a minute.

Franz Jung (* 3. Dezember 1936 in Neundorf, Kreis Habelschwerdt, Provinz Niederschlesien) ist ein römisch-katholischer Geistlicher, Prälat, Apostolischer Protonotar sowie von 1983 bis 2012 Visitator für Priester und Gläubige der ehemaligen Grafschaft Glatz, die bis 1972 zum Erzbistum Prag gehörte. Seit 1983 bekleidet er als Letzter das Amt des Großdechanten.

Leben und Werk
Franz Jung ist der Sohn eines Landwirts. Als Kleinkind zog er mit seinen Eltern nach Gläsendorf bei Mittelwalde, das als Folge des Zweiten Weltkriegs 1945 zusammen mit dem größten Teil Schlesiens an Polen fiel. Nach der Vertreibung der Deutschen 1946 gelangte die Familie Jung zunächst in das westfälische Liesborn im Kreis Warendorf. Später konnten die Eltern eine landwirtschaftliche Stelle in Lüdinghausen/Kreis Coesfeld übernehmen.

Franz Jung besuchte zunächst eine Schule in Xanten, wo der Breslauer Priester Paulus Tillmann eines seiner Internate für heimatvertriebene Schüler ins Leben gerufen hatte. Nach dem Abitur in Lüdinghausen studierte Jung Katholische Theologie an der Universität Münster. Am 29. Juni 1964 wurde er im Dom zu Münster durch Bischof Joseph Höffner zum Priester geweiht. Anschließend wirkte er als Kaplan in mehreren Gemeinden am Niederrhein, erst in Wesel (1964–1968), dann in Moers (1968–1972) und schließlich in Goch. 1976 wurde er als Pfarrer nach St. Elisabeth in Duisburg-Walsum-Vierlinden berufen. Von 1982 bis 1989 war er Diözesanpräses der Katholischen Arbeitnehmer-Bewegung (KAB) im Bistum Münster; gleichzeitig wurde er Leiter des Referates Arbeiterseelsorge im Generalvikariat und Rektor der Kapelle des Gottfried-Könzgen-Heims in Haltern am See.

Großdechant der Grafschaft Glatz
Bereits während seines Theologiestudiums in Münster und München engagierte sich Franz Jung in der katholischen Jugendarbeit der Grafschaft Glatz. Nach dem Tod des Großdechanten Paul Sommer 1983 wurde er zu dessen Nachfolger berufen und am 22. September 1983 zum Päpstlichen Ehrenprälaten sowie zum Kanonischen Visitator für Priester und Glaube der Grafschaft Glatz und zum Mitglied der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz berufen. Es war mit dem Recht verbunden, Mitra, Krummstab und das Pektorale zu tragen und an der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz teilnehmen zu dürfen. Seit der Erneuerung der Statuten der Bischofskonferenz in Deutschland 1998 ist er nicht mehr Mitglied der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz und seit 2012 nicht mehr Visitator der Grafschaft Glatz, trägt aber weiterhin den Titel des Großdechanten. Da sowohl die Funktion des KAB-Diözesanpräses als auch das neue Visitatorenamt mit einer intensiven Reisetätigkeit verbunden waren, gab Franz Jung die Tätigkeit bei der KAB auf und übernahm im August 1989 zusätzlich zu seinen Aufgaben als Visitator die Pfarrstelle der kleinen Innenstadtgemeinde St. Aegidii in Münster und anschließend als Subsidiar in Münster-Mecklenbeck St. Anna. Zudem war er Sprecher der Visitatorenkonferenz in Deutschland und in den Jahren 2008 und 2009 zusätzlich Visitator für Priester und Gläubige aus dem Erzbistum Breslau, d. h., er war damit für alle deutschen Gläubigen aus Schlesien zuständig.

Als Großdechant nahm Prälat Franz Jung in seiner Funktion als Visitator für Priester und Gläubige aus der Grafschaft Glatz an fast allen Heimattreffen der Grafschaft Glatzer Heimatgruppen teil. In jedem Jahr organisierte er die Wallfahrt der Priester und Gläubigen aus der Grafschaft Glatz zum Marienwallfahrtsort Telgte und nach Werl in Westfalen sowie eine Buswallfahrt in die Grafschaft Glatz. In Deutschland wie in Polen organisiert er weiterhin mehrere gesellschaftliche und religiöse Treffen, an denen die ehemaligen deutschen wie die jetzigen polnischen Einwohner der Grafschaft Glatz teilnehmen, um sich auszutauschen und gemeinsam zu beten. Er pflegt auch den Kontakt zu vielen polnischen Geistlichen in der Grafschaft Glatz. Darüber hinaus gibt er seit 1999 vierteljährlich den "Rundbrief des Großdechanten" heraus. Er setzt sich aktiv ein für die Erhaltung religiöser Baudenkmäler in der Grafschaft Glatz, unterstützt deutsch-polnische Projekte im Geiste der Verständigung und Annäherung zwischen beiden Völkern und hält sich mehrmals im Jahr in der ehemaligen Grafschaft Glatz auf.

Im Jahre 1998 brachte er den Seligsprechungsprozess von Kaplan Gerhard Hirschfelder in Gang, dem Märtyrer des Glaubens aus der Grafschaft Glatz, der 1942 sein Leben im Konzentrationslager Dachau verlor. Die Seligsprechung am 19. September 2010 im Dom zu Münster, an der auch polnische Priester aus dem Erzbistum Breslau teilnahmen, war einer der Höhepunkte im Berufsleben von Franz Jung. Seit 2. Oktober 2001 ist Franz Jung Träger des Bundesverdienstkreuzes am Bande.

Zum 17. März 2012 ist Prälat Franz Jung als Visitator aus dem aktiven Dienst verabschiedet worden. Zugleich wurde die Visitatur aufgelöst. Die Belange der Glatzer werden nun von der neuen Visitatur für die Gläubigen von ganz Schlesien (Breslau, Branitz und dem Glatzer Land) vertreten. Der in der Kirche einmalige Titel des Glatzer Großdechanten wird nicht mehr weitergegeben, Franz Jung behält ihn aber bis zum Lebensende. Prälat Jung ist der 14. Großdechant und zugleich der 50. und letzte Dechant der Grafschaft Glatz seit der ersten Erwähnung dieses Amtes im 13. Jahrhundert.

Seiner Glatzer Heimat blieb Prälat Franz Jung stets eng verbunden. Er nimmt weiterhin regen Anteil an der Arbeit der Stiftung Kulturwerk Schlesien.

How We Made a Gentle Gel Cleanser for All Skin Types
By Kaleigh Fasanella, she/her
When you think about gentle skincare products, chances are gel cleansers don't come to mind—and well, we get it, seeing as many formulas on the market contain harsh surfactants that can leave skin feeling stripped and irritated, rather than clean but still well-nourished. With that being said, Youth To The People's Superfood Cleanser is an exception. The ultra-gentle gel-based formula was designed with all skin—including sensitive skin—in mind, hence why it feels so comforting on contact—and why it's loaded with a well-spring of soothing agents, like green tea and aloe vera.
Unlike some other gel cleansers, the Superfood Cleanser hydrates and nourishes skin as it whisks away impurities, which makes it the ultimate face wash option for all skin types across the board.
"Superfood Cleanser is unique in that it gives a deep cleanse without the stripping component," says YTTP's regional director of sales education, Jacob dél Rosario. "It's a soap-free cleanser that balances the skin without causing irritation due to the proprietary blend of superfoods, including kale, spinach, and green tea, which makes it extremely replenishing to the skin." Since it doesn't contain any sulfates or typical surfactants—but rather two forms of coconut extract that react to dirt and makeup—the formula won't rob your skin of its natural oils. Instead, it leaves your complexion comfortable, radiant, and supremely hydrated thanks to the aforementioned ingredient blend, which is packed with antioxidants. "The superfood blend is made to assist the skin in general repair," explains Rosario. "It's really amazing at re-strengthening the lipid barrier, which encourages optimal skin function and overall health.
In addition to kale and spinach, both of which are rich in calming vitamin K, the Superfood Cleanser also contains nutrient-dense alfalfa and vitamins C and E, as well as hydrating and soothing panthenol (a popular form of vitamin B5), chamomile flower extract, and glycerin for added hydration. These powerhouse ingredients all feature potent anti-inflammatory properties, which makes the Superfood Cleanser an excellent option for anyone who struggles with highly reactive skin. That—coupled with the fact that it's not made with any harsh or potentially irritating ingredients—is precisely why it's become a staple product in so many people's routines.
To quickly recap, Superfood Cleanser is ideal for the following reasons:
It's sulfate and soap-free
It's pH-balancing
It's loaded with antioxidants that help protect and repair skin
It helps products absorb better into the skin
It breaks down makeup, dirt, and debris without removing necessary sebum
It's great for ALL skin types, including sensitive

También conocido bajo el nombre de Af que significa "Ira Divina" según la erudición rabínica. Es uno de los ángeles de la ira y de la destrucción que conforman el  séptimo cielo  junto con  Yetzerhara, Adriel,  Yehudiam,  Abaddon,  Samael,  Azrael,  Metatrón,  Gabriel,  Mashhit,  Ha-Mavet de Malach,  Kafziel,  Kesef, y Leviatán. Es el que rige la muerte de los animales domésticos. Se dice que Hemah tiene una altura de quinientos  parasangs  o más de mil setecientas millas y fue creado de cadenas de fuego rojo y negro. Según el  Zohar, Hemah trató una vez de tragarse a  Moisés  pero Dios intervino y lo salvó. Cuando Hemah vomitó a Moisés, este lo mató, algo difícil de concebir ya que los ángeles son inmortales.

It is very special to have a kitchen large enough to accommodate an enormous island and a table that easily seats six! In this kitchen Chief Designer Tena Collyer was inspired by the high ceilings and wooden beams. The centerpiece of the room is the Plain & Fancy white latte glazed island, all topped with stunning granite countertops. High end, Sub Zero and Wolf appliances lend a professional feel to this very cozy family gathering spot.

Now a California company says it's taking orders for a real-life flying motorcycle powered by five modified jet engines on the base of the aircraft.
Increasingly, flying cars, motorcycles and other personal craft are no longer the stuff of imagination. The Speeder is the latest entry in the race to create autonomous flying vehicles, with companies such as Uber, Airbus and Volocopter already developing them. Eventually, flying-car inventors say, commuters will be able to order an air taxi that whisks them across town in minutes, bypassing traffic-clogged streets below.
Like others developing similar craft, Mayman said the Speeder will be used for recreation and operated on personal property until rules and regulations begin to evolve. The craft can be operated autonomously or semiautonomously using a throttle and a joystick that will feel familiar to video game enthusiasts, he said.
In military settings, Mayman said, the aircraft could be used to transport heavy loads or move soldiers on and off the battlefield, especially in areas too dangerous for helicopters. The craft is small enough to sit on the back of a boat or atop a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, he said. In civilian life, he said, those same capabilities would make the aircraft useful for first responders, allowing them to reach locations that might be difficult to get to otherwise.
In contrast, the Speeder's engines are clustered beneath the craft.

Q: How to write grok filter in logstash to accept variable arguments How to write grok filter rule, if message contains transactions of variable arguments.
For example:
22-Jun-2015 04:45:56 Transaction for Bill 123 item1=100 item2=200 item3=300
22-Jun-2015 05:45:23 Transaction for Bill 124 item1=200
22-Jun-2015 06:23:36 Transaction for Bill 125 item4=400 item2=200 item1=100 item5=500

We can match date, time, bill # in the above case but how to handle for variable arguments item here.

A: Finally I was able to do that using kv{} option of logstash
For example:
 item1=100&item2=200&item3=300
 item1=100&item2=200&item3=300&item4=400

I created two messages and then I got the below output;
{
   "message" => "item1=100&item2=200&item3=300",
  "@version" => "1",
"@timestamp" => "2015-07-04T19:20:15.831Z",

At 8:13 Saturday morning, Stamford's Combined Dispatch Center began receiving multiple calls, reporting heavy black smoke coming from the roof of 72 Cummings Point Road. Some callers reported occupants fleeing the building. A first alarm assignment of three engines, a ladder truck, a rescue company, a Rapid Intervention Team and an Incident Commander responded.
The commercial office building at 72 Cummings Point Road is home to "Point 72 Asset Management", a group of hedge funds founded by Steven A Cohen.
The first arriving engine company confirmed a working fire on the roof of the large commercial structure. A second alarm was immediately requested by the Incident Commander, bringing an additional engine and truck company.
"Fire crews quickly gained access to the roof and found a large air conditioning unit well involved, threatening several other adjacent units and the roof of the building" according to Acting Deputy Chief Shaun Tripodi.
Firefighters worked for about an hour cutting away, removing duct work and the metal housing from the air-conditioning unit so they could fully extinguish the fire.
Firefighters later learned that the air conditioning units had just been installed and several tradesman had been working on them when the fire broke out. Two tradesman were transported to Stamford Hospital Emergency Department for smoke inhalation. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. There were no firefighter casualties.
A third alarm was sounded, bringing an additional engine and truck company to the scene to assist with the overhaul and to provide relief for the initial attack crews.
Firefighters also performed salvage operations, covering office equipment with large tarps to help limit water damage to the offices below the fire.
Stamford's volunteer firefighters were toned out and were requested to stand by their respective stations. In addition, Norwalk Fire Department provided an engine and truck company to cover the Central Fire Station / Headquarters at 629 Main Street.
Two Stamford EMS units, a Paramedic Supervisor and a rehabilitation unit responded to the scene and assisted. Stamford Police provided crowd and traffic control.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Stamford Fire Marshals Office.
The trading floor and data rooms were unaffected by the fire.

The mother of one of two terrorists behind a deadly attack on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem earlier this month has declared her intention to carry out a stabbing attack herself.
The attack on a bus in Jerusalem's Armon Hanetziv neighborhood on October 13 left two people dead and scores more injured. It was carried out by two terrorists – including Muhammed – armed with a gun and a large knife. Both were killed in a shootout with Israeli border police.
At around the same time, another Israeli was murdered in the Geulah neighborhood, in a car and knife attack.
In the Al-Quds TV interview, the interviewer begins by asking the terrorist's mother whether she "believed the occupation's [Israel's] version, which says he was the one who carried out the operation [i.e. terrorist attack] in Jerusalem?" Arab media outlets regularly claim Israeli police only shoot dead "innocent Palestinians," and then fabricate attacks afterwards to incriminate them.
But Umm Muhammed (her nickname, literally "Mother of Muhammed") said she was in fact very proud of her son's act of murder.
When asked whether she feared that Israel could demolish her son's home in response to the attack, she responded that they had not yet received a demolition order from the Israeli authorities – likely due to a recent halt of the practice ordered by the Israeli Supreme Court.
But, grinning widely, she declared that "no threats will have any effect on us. Let them destroy the house, let Mu'tasim and Yousuf [her other sons – ed.] be martyred as well," before suddenly unsheathing a massive knife concealed under her dress.
The gesture alarmed even her sympathetic interviewer, who urged her repeatedly to put the knife away.
But even after eventually acquiescing to her interviewer's pleas, the woman then made an apparent threat to carry out an attack.
"Watch out Israel, you have brought the fire of hell upon yourself, and you don't know who you're dealing with.
"There's no need for me to say any more – my deeds will speak louder than my words," she concluded ominously.

UN finds 486 million in Asia still hungry, progress stalled
BANGKOK — A United Nations report says some 486 million people are malnourished in Asia and the Pacific and progress in alleviating hunger is stalling.
The report by the Food and Agricultural Organization released Friday said more than half of all children in the world who are malnourished live in the region. It says hunger-related stunting that causes permanent damage is being worsened by food insecurity and inadequate sanitation, even in big cities in relatively affluent countries.
It says the main reason people still go hungry is poverty and unequal access to good food, clean water and toilets. Many who go hungry work in agriculture or other informal jobs and cannot count on social services for help in times of crisis or afford to buy enough nutritious food for their children.

By Francine Mathews
Fifteen years ago, I was drafting a spy novel entitled Blown. It was my second novel about Caroline "Mad Dog" Carmichael, a CIA terrorism analyst very much like myself, who was combatting neo-Nazis at home and abroad. The draft wasn't going well. I was way past deadline. I'd rewritten it twice. To get out of the house and away from my computer screen, I was working out at a local fitness center and reading The New Yorker on my exercise bike. While idly flipping through the cartoons and shorter bits, my eyes were suddenly drawn to a familiar image: a runner in a Princeton University singlet pounding down the main path below Blair Arch.
I had spent four years at Princeton. So of course I was immediately intrigued by the subhead of David Samuels' profile of James Arthur Hogue, entitled "The Runner."
He woke up one morning and decided to become someone else.
[The profile is so artfully written that it feels like a travesty to summarize Samuels' work. PLEASE. When you have a moment, immerse yourself in it here.]
Suffice it to say that Hogue, a "drifter, petty thief and ex-con," successfully fabricated an identity that almost changed his life, in ways that belong only in movies. [In fact, Con Man--a 2002 documentary by Jesse Moss--tells his story.]
In his college essay, Hogue renamed himself Alexi Indris-Santana and invented European parents, sadly dead, who were artists and intellectuals. He described himself as a teenaged working cowboy on the Plains of the West, an autodidact who'd read the Great Books by firelight while sleeping under the stars. This wistful thought piece appealed to every impulse among the hardened admissions officers at Princeton: a self-taught genius, both sophisticated and rustic! A child of Nature who understood multisyllabic words, and used them correctly in a sentence! A chance to give full aid to a deserving young mind, instead of admitting yet another product of Andover or Groton! And Alexi Santana had a special gift--all those years of rugged living among cattle herds had somehow made him an athlete. He was a runner. Princeton recruited him for Track and Field.
copyright The Daily Princetonian
Alexi Santana was nineteen. But James Hogue was nearly thirty. Becoming someone else on this scale is what is known as fraud.
He was a rousing success at Princeton both on and off the track--short on funds, of course, but intriguing enough that women thought he was dope and teammates carried him through difficult patches. It seemed odd that he was already losing his hair, but maybe that was a European thing. He was skinny enough as a runner that his age never came into question; if he looked haggard, it was attributed to excessive training. He was so accepted and his cachet was so secure that he was considered for admission to the most exclusive of the selective eating clubs on Prospect Street--the one usually reserved for members of the Ford and Forbes families and their wingmen--Ivy. Had Alexi Santana managed to graduate with a Princeton degree and those kinds of social connections, he would never have looked back.
I read "The Runner" without the kind of outrage many people, particularly Princeton grads, felt at the story. I was utterly fascinated. Because I recognized that James Hogue was destined for a brilliant career--if only he'd applied to the CIA instead of Princeton.
You see, what he had done--almost flawlessly--was created a Legend, as it's called in intelligence operations. His alternative version of his identity was so effective that it was accepted within the community he was determined to infiltrate. He had studied his target. He had mastered the cultural expectations and norms. He had adopted the local camouflage and color, he had gone into the hostile environment with profound confidence, and he had recruited every single person he needed into total faith and belief. All of them felt betrayed, used, exploited and violated by the end of James Hogue's run at the Ivies--but a talent that appears criminal in one setting, may actually be a job description in another. His brilliance, however amoral or sociopathic, was sadly misapplied.
Alexis Santana was eventually blown when a Yale student who'd known him as James Hogue in Palo Alto--where he'd impersonated a teenager and run track at a local high school--outed him at the HYPs, the Harvard-Princeton-Yale Track & Field event. He was arrested by the FBI for fraud. He's now in his fifties--still a drifter, ex-con, and petty thief, most recently booked in Boulder, CO, for stealing $1200 worth of sunglasses.
Hogue's story inspired a secondary character in Blown that I still love today--Raphael, the CIA's master of legend and disguise. Some readers think he's the point of the whole story. Some think he deserves his own. Who knows? Maybe I'll write one for him, someday.

I hadn't heard of him, Francine. What a wonderful story, and no wonder you got two characters out of him. Inspirational in marvelous resourceful and creepy ways! Thanks for another great post!
Karna Bodman August 19, 2016 at 12:06 PM
Oh Francine, what a wild tale. As you said, imagine what this obviously bright and clever character could have accomplished if only he had taken a different route (perhaps as a CIA analyst like yourself) Thanks for posting!
Francine Mathews August 19, 2016 at 3:58 PM
Thanks, fellow rogues. I persist in believing Matt Damon would play Hogue well in a film version. :)
Chris Goff August 19, 2016 at 8:28 PM
I am always fascinated by con man stories. I've always loved the idea of going "undercover" and putting on a persona to gather intel. I know you're supposed to create backgrounds that are easy to remember -- names that come naturally; job histories and family histories that are easy to remember. I'm just not sure that I could pull it off. Sort of the "Catch Me If You Can," thing. You have to own it completely, almost believe it yourself. Fun post!
Sonja Stone August 25, 2016 at 5:24 PM
Francine, this is such an interesting story! Like you, I'm more awed than outraged at the con.

For my first guest post I'd like to introduce Kelsey Barnes. I first met Kelsey while at SMU back in 2010! Fast forward to 2018 and we've reconnected through blogging. Since our Freshman year at SMU Kelsey has started a career in NYC, and now moved to Amsterdam and is living the expat life. In addition to blogging Kelsey does freelance work and is training to become a spin instructor!
I love following Kelsey on Instagram (KelseyyBarnes) because of her authenticity and unique content. Oh, did I mention her breathtaking pictures of Amsterdam and multiple travel guides throughout Europe?
One of my favorite blog posts from Kelsey is her "Classy Outfit Formula" blog post. Read below and enjoy the guest post!
I love fashion, but sometimes it can be really hard to decide what to wear. Lately, I've been spending a lot of time in leggings and a comfy top while working from home. This makes it even harder to decide what to wear when I need to look like I've got my sh*t together. Which is why I've developed an outfit formula for when I want to look put together, but I also don't want to put in a ton of effort.
Last week, I met two girlfriends for a drink at the cutest all pink restaurant in Amsterdam, Mama Kelly. I'm not kidding when I say this place is pink – everything from the velvet booths to the bar to the cocktails. I wore an outfit based on my formula, and it worked perfectly for the setting.
I always start with dark skinny jeans. I wear this distressed pair (that pair sold out, similar here) from Gap often because they're so versatile. A dark wash always elevates every look. Even with sneakers and a t-shirt, these jeans manage to look just that little bit nicer.
Next, I add a blouse with an interesting detail. I picked this lace panel top up in my last Shein haul, and it's just too cute. I love all of the girly details like the lace neckline and the slightly puffed shoulders. Going with something that's a little dressier helps to elevate your look, but you could look just as put together in something basic. I've linked some tops in the below carousel that are perfect for looking put together with minimal effort.
Lastly, throw on a cute pair of block heels and grab a bag. I hardly ever wear heels anymore, but it's so true that they instantly make you look like you've got it together. I wore a Kelsi Dagger Brooklyn block heel because I didn't want to go too over the top. This is Amsterdam after all, and no one dresses up here. I grabbed my YSL clutch to carry my phone and was good to go.
Just four items. All pretty simple, which is why I always go to this outfit formula when I don't know what to wear. It's perfect for so many situations, dinner with the girls, date night, even an interview. Just change up little things here or there to fit the situation. For example, for an interview, you can just change the denim to a pair of nice cropped pants.
Do you have an outfit that instantly makes you look put together? Let me know!
Mix and match below to find your perfect outfit!

Lists of state leaders by year Agustín Pedro Justo Rolón (1876 - 1943) was President of Argentina from 20 February 1932 to 20 February 1938.
The State Board of Elections is responsible for overseeing and administering elections in Kentucky.
State Commission is to promote the principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change espoused by the late civil rights leader.
The Division of Water is charged with the responsibility for managing and protecting the state's waters, both on the surface in lakes, streams and rivers as well as groundwater beneath the surface of the land in the state.
NEW YORK, one of the Middle Atlantic states of the U.S., bordered on the N by the Canadian provinces of Ontario and QuÉbec; on the E by Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut; on the SE by the Atlantic Ocean; on the S by New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and on the W by Pennsylvania and Ontario.
New York was the preeminent U.S. state in commerce and manufacturing from the early 19th century until the late 1960s, when it began to be surpassed by California; in the 1990s it continued to be a leading component of the U.S. economy and remained first in many branches of economic activity.
Although not noted as a fishing state, New York ranks among the top 15 states in the U.S. in terms of the value of the annual catch, which was estimated at $51 million in the late 1980s.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether individuals recognized as leaders in industrial arts philosophy are also recognized as leaders in molding the philosophy of technology education.
In the time period 1917-1957, Warner was selected as the noted leader for technology education in both the 1983 and 1993 studies, receiving nearly the same percentage of votes (40%) in each.
In Bartow's study, the time period 1957-1985 was marked by a diffusion of votes among the top leaders, while in the present study opinions had coalesced, resulting in a shorter list.
Some leaders were caught in the middle between stronger countries and were forced to take a side, while others were able to remain neutral and save their nations from the war.
Churchill is one of the main world war 2 leaders, and one of the most prominent national leaders in history.
In March 27, 1941 he was replaced in a pro-allies military coup, and ten days later the german Luftwaffe massively bombarded Belgrade, the capital of its former ally, and the german military invaded and occupied the country until the end of the war.
June 17 - The three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania fall under the occupation of the Soviet Union.
November 27 - In Romania, coup leader General Ion Antonescu's Iron Guard arrests and executes over 60 of exiled king Carol II of Romania's aides.
The President stated on April 28 that, "absolutely, we do have political prisoners and people who are in prison for their beliefs." No accurate estimates were available regarding the number of citizens imprisoned for their political beliefs.
She was detained on a variety of charges including "acting against state security, spreading lies, membership in internal opposition groups, and defense of murders in order to stir up public opinion against the judiciary." For 23 of the 40 days of detention, Gazhi was on a hunger strike.
Jewish leaders reportedly were reluctant to draw attention to official mistreatment of their community due to fear of government reprisal.
•Telephone transcripts of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (September 1973 to December 1976) - This is a first release of 5,770 pages of the roughly 9,600 pages of telephone transcripts that the Department of State obtained from the Library of Congress.
Most State documents from this period are already declassified and available at NARA as part of the ongoing systematic declassification review program.
The State Department produced these documents in response to inquiries by the United Nations Truth Commission for El Salvador and the U.S. Congress in 1993 - 1994.
Chinese civilization was further strengthened by the development of a Confucian state ideology and a common written language that bridged the gaps among the country's many local languages and dialects.
The State Department's annual China human rights reports have noted China's well-documented abuses of human rights in violation of internationally recognized norms, stemming both from the authorities' intolerance of dissent and the inadequacy of legal safeguards for basic freedoms.

Listing of the 49 women executed in the United states since 1900, by age, race, state, date of execution, and method of execution.
The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history.
In each such state the people, including church members and the unchurched, were engaged in a revolution against such practices that, without prodding by the federal government, led to the complete abandonment of established churches and religious tests for holding office.
The first is Washington's confusing and arbitrary definition of "terrorists," and the State Department's hodgepodge fllist of "foreign terrorist organizations." That list fails to distinguish between groups that cross international borders to do violence and those that do not.
In a hypocritical slight of hand, the list singles out governments that support "terrorist" organizations, with nary a mention of governments that themselves engage in the exact same acts of violence and brutality that define terrorism.
Among the states it listed as backing terrorist groups are newfound "allies" in today's version of the "war on terrorism." They include Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Lebanon.
* January 30 - Iraq disarmament crisis: The leaders of United KingdomBritain, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and the Czech Republic release a statement, the letter of the eight, demonstrating support for the United States' plans for an 2003 invasion of Iraqinvasion of Iraq.

One good definition of anti-Semitism is taking a trait that is universal and singling out only the Jews for criticism in relation to that trait.
That is why university professors and presidents across the country have spoken out publicly against divestment, and linked it unequivocally to the presence of anti-Semitism on campuses.
I would prefer to call it "badly misinformed leadership." That tends to put more responsibility on the leader because he wouldn't be so "misinformed" if he had the leadership competence enough to run a tight ship so that people don't mislead him.
It's only beginning to dawn of many that our Republican "leaders" have sold our future down the river to the Communist Chinese and Arab oil sheiks who were more than willing to exploit their greed.

With a strong focus on education, HSMAI has become the industry champion in identifying and communicating trends in the hospitality industry, while operating as a leading voice for both hospitality and sales and marketing management disciplines.

During the Paris Peace Conference, he stoutly defended Wilson's Point Three, insisting that a liberal trade regime would dampen the impulse to competition and avert a new conflagration.
Secretary of State Hull's liberalizing efforts culminated with the passage of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, authorizing the State Department to negotiate bilateral agreements reflecting his philosophy.

I'm Teun Creemers from Nijmegen - Holland. I'm 16 years old and I play the bassguitar for 2 - 3 years now.
I've played with alot of people from eastern Holland now and mostly play Rock, Fusion, Jazz, Hip-Hop or Funk,.. however I'm always open for new things.
My favorite band at the moment is Yellow Jackets, and my big bass example is Jaco Pastorius because I'm playing a Vintage Fretless Bassguitar.
I'm currently still on my highschool, but in 2 years I'm done with that and will go to one of the conservatories in Holland.
My goal is a little weird because I will never achieve it, but I want to become as good as I can be with playing the Bassguitar. I want to get the best out of myself, and ofcourse some nice performances with alot of audience would be cool too.
Well this was my biography.
Mail me sometime when you've got questions, or need a bassplayer.
