Alleged 'Alternative' Mueller Report Could Be Released Soon
Federal officials have allegedly discovered unused files from Robert Mueller's unsuccessful Special Counsel investigation, and may decide to release them soon as an "alternative" report, according to Politico.
The documents recently found amongst Department of Justice (DOJ) files consist of findings by one of Mueller's deputies, Andrew Weissmann, that were not included in the final report that was made public in early 2019. Weissmann first discussed his unreleased findings in a book he published last year called "Where Law Ends."
"At least for posterity, I had all the members … write up an internal report memorializing everything we found, our conclusions, and the limitations on the investigation," Weissman claims, "and provided it to the other team leaders as well as had it maintained in our files."

Investigation: Biden Security Adviser Jake Sullivan Tied to Alleged 2016 Clinton Scheme to Co-Opt the CIA and FBI to Tar Trump
September 28, 2021 September 27, 2021 RealClearWire
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan figures prominently in a grand jury investigation run by Special Counsel John Durham into an alleged 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign scheme to use both the FBI and CIA to tar Donald Trump as a colluder with Russia, according to people familiar with the criminal probe, which they say has broadened into a conspiracy case.
Sullivan is facing scrutiny, sources say, over potentially false statements he made about his involvement in the effort, which continued after the election and into 2017. As a senior foreign policy adviser to Clinton, Sullivan spearheaded what was known inside her campaign as a "confidential project" to link Trump to the Kremlin through dubious email-server records provided to the agencies, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Republicans Demand Update on Long-Awaited Durham Report
August 24, 2021 August 23, 2021 The Center Square
After two years of waiting for a federal report on allegations of Democratic spying on the Trump campaign, Republicans are demanding answers.
More than 40 Republican U.S. senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday requesting the release of the Durham report, the long-awaited results of an investigation into the controversial origins of the FBI investigation into Russian collusion.

Commentary: Media Begins Its Meddling in the 2024 Primary
June 14, 2021 June 14, 2021 Virginia Star Staff
In March 2018, then-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) took to the lectern to announce he had received "assurances" that President Trump was not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller. "We have a system based upon the rule of law in this country." A month later, Ryan announced his retirement from Congress.
In July 2018, Ryan refused to permit an effort to impeach then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for obstructing congressional inquiries into the Russian collusion hoax. Ryan's protection of Mueller and his untimely retirement helped tip the 2018 midterm elections against his party and Nancy Pelosi has held the speaker's gavel ever since then.
Mueller should have been fired and Ryan should have urged Trump to do it. Mueller proved himself to be a fumbling and doddering fool unable to grasp the basics of the investigation he supposedly led. The real directors of the witch hunt, Trump haters led by Andrew Weissman, abused the powers of the special counsel to leak, smear, and harass the sitting president. It was, from the very start, a political operation intended to deny Trump the full freedom and powers an elected president normally would enjoy. It wasn't quite a coup because power didn't change hands. But it added to the continuing loss of confidence Americans have in achieving political change through elections.

John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry Essay
Posted by: essay
Category: Sample essay papers
Abolitionist John Brown is one of the most controversial figures of the U.S. history. He belonged to the abolitionist movement and insisted on arm resistance against slave holders. His actions had one ultimate goal �� he wanted American government to ban slavery. His active actions provoked much dissatisfaction from the side of authorities.
Despite John Brown was white he felt injustice of the very slavery institution very sharply. Like many Northern citizens, he was very dissatisfied with the actions of Southern population of the country. In contrast to the most of his Northern contemporaries, he did no believe in peaceful resistance. He believed that talks were just the waste of time and he also believed that only actions could help to resolve the situation. He followed this strategy and organized an active resistance.
During his first fifty years Brown traveled a lot around the country. He worked as a merchant, farmer, tanner and land reseller. Brown early formed his outlook and realized the fallacy of slavery institution. His actions were directed to support his active life position. He performed different steps aiming to abolish slavery. He financed publications of anti-slavery authors, such as David Walker and Henry Highland. He also helped slaves in many ways. He gave them land, helped black people who asked for his help. Despite most of his financial affairs failed and Brown himself needed money in order to support his big family he did everything possible in order to help those who were really in need. In 1851 he helped to establish the League of Gileadites. This organization helped to protect slaves. It protected escaped slaves from their masters. This organization reflected Brown's abolitionist position and his further actions during the raid at Harpers Ferry also proved this his position.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act designed by Democratic Senator Stephan Douglas became a compromise to the Southern states. This Act allowed these states to make their own decisions the on slave-holding topic. This act was originally designed as a means to develop Mideastern Transcontinental Railroad. The act gave the settlers opportunity to vote in order to make a decision considering slavery subject. This act resulted in fierce resistance of the North.
The act established that settlers could vote to decide whether to allow slavery, in the name of �popular sovereignty�� or rule of the people. Douglas hoped it would ease relations in both North and South, because the South could expand slavery to new territories but the North still had the right to abolish slavery in their states. He was wrong.
Opponents denounced the law as a concession to the slave power of the South. The new Republican Party, which was created in opposition to the act, aimed to stop the expansion of slavery, and soon emerged as the dominant force throughout the North.
In 1856 Brown initiated the Pottawatomie Massacre in Kansas. He regarded this Massacre is actions aiming to cancel slavery. The wives of men killed by Brown during the Massacre had another perception of events. Louisa Jane Wilkinson, the widow of Allen Wilkinson and Mahala Doyle, the widow of James Doyle, blame Brown for heartless murder. Famous letter of Mahala Doyle, a widow of James Doyle killed during the massacre, blames John Brown in cruel and cold bloody murder. Despite James Doyle was active pro-slavery party member he did no possess the slaves of his own. Mahala Doyle claims that innocent people were killed in accordance with John Brown's order.
From her point of view the Massacre became nothing but a cold-blooded murder to innocent people. In her letter to Brown she claims: �you can't say you done it to free our slaves because we had none and never expected to own one�� (Earle).
Three years later John Brown developed and headed the raid at Harpers Ferry. This raid aimed to free prisoners and organized the rebel aiming to cancel slave. It took place on October 16 in 1859. John Brown and 19 people who supported and shared his ideas seized the Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. The participants of the raid who fought on the side of John Brown fully sharing his ideas. They treated John like Prophet who had special mission of liberation. Osborne Anderson, same like other people who took part in the raid fully believed in the ideas expressed by John Brown and followed all his instructions. During the Sunday night Brown and his people seized the armory.
During the attack several people including African American railroad baggage handler were killed. Brown held about 60 people of the town as hostages. Brown waited the slave of the town to join him but none of the slaves came. On October 18 Colonel Robert Lee and his people stormed the engine house where Brown and his people hid. The fight was soon over and John and most of his people were caught and thrown to prison.
John Brown believed in higher truth and believed that slavery was such an ugly phenomenon which should have been stopped by any means. His raid at Harpers Ferry aimed to show enslaved people that they had the right and ability to fight. As he himself states: ���I believe to have interfered as I have done, in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right. Now, if it be deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done�� (Earle). He believed that his bold raid would help slaves to gain a desire to fight the injustice.
Reaction on the actions of John Brown was controversial. It split the country into two parts. One part of the county supported John Brown's actions and believed he showed heroic self-sacrifices for the sake of higher ideals of liberty.
Other part of the country blamed Brown as a murder, terrorist and person who broke the calmness in the country.
Newspapers of those times reflected the spirit of the epoch and did not support actions which could bring damage to the structure of the country.
Henry David Thoreau, a prominent naturalist, thinker and philosopher of 19th century. defended John Brown's actions and ideology. �Civil Disobeyance�� �� one of central notions of Thoreau's philosophical and social position, had much in common with Brown's ideas. Thoreau was greatly impressed by the inner strength of John Brown: �I do not wish to kill or be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which both of these things would be unavoidable. Perhaps the time had come for violent resistance�� (Earlie). After Brown was caught and condemned many people blamed his actions but Thoreau supported him. He underlined that he supported his ideas but not his actions.
John Brown provoked loud reaction of the society. Some believed him to be the chosen person who dedicated his life protecting those who needed protection. Others believed him to be a heartless murder who sacrificed innocent people for the sake of his ideas. Contemporary critics speak about the terrorism and inappropriate method and blame John Brown. I believe that we should consider the time when John Brown lived if we want to judge him. John Brown to much extend shaped out abolitionist movement which finally resulted in the cancellation of slavery.
Slavery is a shameful fact of the American history. John Brown wanted to correct this situation and he believed that methods of active resistance suited best for this purpose. I believe that John Brown was a controversial personality and we cannot blame or praise him. To great extend John Brown conditioned the ideology of anti-slavery movement.
He inspired many people to start struggling for their rights. His ideas and good deeds aiming to help slaves definitely became a big contribution to the abolishment of slavery. At the same time his methods show that his desire to stop slavery and stop injustice sometimes made him turn to unjust methods. I believe we should mind not only final results and ideology but also methods used to reach these goals. In the case with John Brown his methods were unjust and potentially dangerous. We can appreciate his will for equality and abolishment of slavery but his methods should be condemned. Higher ideals cannot be reached by dirty means and moral background of Brown's behavior is doubtful.

With the recent release of Xcode 10, it's easy to get excited and upgrade (or have your Mac auto-upgrade for you) and end up in a situation where you can't support some of your older apps.
It might be that you're not ready to move to Titanium 7.4.0.GA yet, but still have to maintain a codebase and in these situations, updating to the latest major Xcode version can stop older apps working.
Luckily, there's an easy way to have the both Xcode 9 and 10 running side-by-side on the same machine and build for both iOS 11.4 and 12 whenever you like.
Firstly, (and to show you what's happening here) go to your Titanium application project folder in Terminal, and type appc run -p ios --ios-version 1 — you're told (correctly) that "1" is invalid and asked to select an SDK version — if you have Xcode 9 installed, you'll see 11.4 and with Xcode 10, you'll see 12.
Let's get another Xcode installed, and we'll come back to this.
If your computer has already updated to Xcode 10, don't worry — go to http://developer.apple.com, login and visit the download sections — you'll need to go to the "more downloads". And, within that, you'll find the latest version of Xcode 9. Download that to your machine and extract it.
Next, rename the file to Xcode9 and move it into your Applications folder. You should now have two files — Xcode 10 and Xcode 9.
If you haven't downloaded Xcode 10 yet, you can repeat the above steps and just download Xcode 10 instead. Then, rename the currently installed version to "Xcode9", and move the Xcode 10 file to the Applications folder.
Either way, you should end up with a file called Xcode and another called Xcode9.
Next, make sure you launch whichever additional Xcode you downloaded, so it can install its additional components — this is important or you won't be able to build with it.
You'll notice you now have two options: 11.4 and 12. That's because Titanium is detecting both Xcode installations and knows how to route the build to each based on the flag —ios-version. There's no need to use xcode-select to change versions or do anything else.
So, if your application is in a previous version to 7.4.0.GA, all you have to do is specify the —ios-version 11.4 in the CLI and it'll build with Xcode9. If your application uses 7.4.0.GA, then use —ios-version 12 and it'll build with Xcode 10!
If you're a Studio user, it's just as easy — once you've installed Xcode 9 and 10 side-by-side and launched Studio, it'll detect the changes — and you can simply select from the menu > iOS and the version you want to build with.
The end result is you can build new apps with the new Xcode and latest Titanium SDK whilst still supporting and maintaining old applications.
I hope this was useful to you — please leave a comment below and maybe tell us what you think of Xcode 10, are you already using both, and how are you finding updating your apps to the latest version of iOS and Titanium?
When I walked through these steps, it detected both 11.4 and 12 as stated but the build command still failed with "Unable to find any Xcode installations that supports iOS Simulator 11.4." until I ran "xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode9.app/Contents/Developer" then it worked fine.
This is with a build that had auto installed Xcode 10 and with 9 installed retrospectively. YMMV!
Thanks — not sure what happened with the commands but have corrected that. Thanks.
Re xcode-select — this shouldn't be necessary. Mine is configured to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer and I can ensure that a correct simulator is picked from 11.4 by passing the –ios-version 11.4 option with the other commands.
Thanks for this blog. However it does not work for me. Just did a clean install on my macbook and performed the steps you describe. So basically I have an Xcode and an Xcode9.
The error is still there when I try to run my app while the simulator is open.
UPDATE: By the way; I did install Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_9.4.1 just to be sure.
UPDATE 2: I have the same as Paul Ryan; I had to run "xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode9.app/Contents/Developer" then it worked fine.
Raymond, thanks for the comment — I believe you're not using the CLI which my main example uses so it requires the –ios-version parameter to select the correct SDK to build with. It should however still work in Studio — might require you go into the platform settings and refresh to get the proper list of simulators.
The Studio prefs? That would mean a setting for all projects in my workspace wouldn't it?
I changed the Run-Configuration for the specific project. Would that be enough?
I can't launch Studio right now but all you should need to do it go to the settings, SDK config and do a refresh and it should pick up all the 11.x and 12.x simulators.

Not only does H. gain inspiration from the jazz greats, but finds the most flattering moments of his career to be when his favorite artists ask to be interviewed by him.


In the most simple, perfect putting stroke, the putter head moves in a large, perfect circle on an inclined plane. When viewed from directly overhead, the heel and toe of the putter appear to move on an ellipse. The curve of the Putting Arc uses the math behind this ellipse, and that is why it has worked so well for so many golfers over the years. It has worked for golfers large and small, putters long and short, and face balanced and toe heavy putters.
The Putting Arc works because it guides the putter head in pure planar rotation about an axis which passes through the golfer's spine, at the T3 vertebrae between the shoulders (the dashed line in fig. 1).
This means that the hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders all stay connected throughout the putting stroke. The Putting Arc has radial lines on its top. This important feature shows the correct clubface alignment at each point in the stroke. This alignment is just as important as the clubhead path.
Mathematically speaking the putter head actually moves in a perfect circle.
The Putting Arc concept). This ellipse (the light colored shape in fig. 2) is the mathematical basis for The Putting Arc.
The actual dimensions of The Putting Arc ellipse are defined by the location of the center of rotation of the putter head. (This point is located on the golfers spine at the T3 vertebrae.) Suprisingly, the dimensions of The Putting Arc ellipse are similar for all average size golfers. There are only a few thousandths of an inch difference in ideal shape of The Putting Arc for a 5'4″ golfer and a 6'2″ golfer (assuming a typical putting stance). For golfers with unconventional stances or people who simply want an ideal match we can generate a custom Putting Arc. The custom Putting Arc will come precisely shaped to your dimensions along with a CAD plot showing the variation from the standard arc.

Q: Handling error in promise by checking the response I need to handle an error wherein the response is not appropriate in 'then' in the sample code below.
getData().then(response => transformData(response));

I need to probably do something like this. But, am confused about how to get hold of the 'response' present inside 'then'.
getData().then(response => transformData(response)).catch(() => if(!response.data) { dispatch({ type: 'some_action' });
}

How do I access the response outside 'then' and inside catch to dispatch another action?

A: I think that you can handle if the response is success but it doesn't has data on i, or if the request just got an error the catch statement can handle it :
getData()
  .then(response =>{
    if(!response.data) {
     dispatch({ type: 'some_action_for_the_error', payload: response.error });
    }
    else {
     transformData(response)
    }
  ).catch(( error ) =>{
    console.error(error);
    dispatch({ type: 'some_action_for_the_error', payload: error });
  }

A: The .then() function can take two arguments. The first is a success callback, which you are using. The second is a failure callback, which is what you want.
getData().then(
  success => transformData(success),
  failure => doSomething(failure)
);

A: First you have to understand that how Promise works. then() method has two functions. First is success and second is failure. Failure can be written with .catch in es6. Now first understand that catch only gets called for network failure, 500 error, 404 not found error. In that case there is no data to process.
But what you would want is 200 Ok but if data is missing. You have put code in success itself :
getData().then(response => {
  const res = transformData(response);
  if(!res.data) {
     // do your stuff
  }
   return res; // else normal behaviour
});

Port Planning at the Regional, National and Supranational Level: The Case of Italy
Master-planning and city-port relationships
Master-planning, and the revisions thereof, is a long process. From the time the decision to develop a new MP is taken, until the latter is in place, in Italy the process could well take 6 years! There would be no less that five ministries involved in an MP approval, let alone local and regional governments and other stakeholders. The MP of the port of Brindisi dates back to 1974, when the port, its traffic, and the type of ships calling, had nothing to do with the business realities of today.[1]
The MP is a useful planning instrument and in this regard it has to be flexible and able to accommodate the changing demands on port services. Often, the opposite is true and the MP is a statutory straight-jacket, constraining agile port management and development. Often, this is the result of inflexible berth designations; i.e. allocation of berths to a specific port traffic.[2] Two examples from Brindisi could illustrate this point.
1. The port of Brindisi is served by a single towage company, owning 5 tugs, berthed at the inner port, which, at the time of writing, was undergoing urban rehabilitation. As a result, the tugs needed to move to another spot at the middle or outer port but, in spite of the ample and underutilized infrastructure there, no other place was available, because this was not provided in a 40-year-old MP!
2. The middle, and most commercial, part of the port of Brindisi, for years now, is dedicated to Ro-Ro and passenger traffic. To serve this traffic, the Port Authority had decided to construct a new passenger terminal; one of the most modern in the Adriatic Sea. The terminal should have been ready by the summer of 2012 but works have been suspended as a result of an administrative appeal, claiming that, according to the 1974 MP, passengers cannot be handled at this part of the port. Interestingly, the person who has lodged the appear is the owner of the sole 'private' passenger terminal in that part of the port!
Port land (demanio marittimo) is usually well defined by law. The land is State property, albeit managed by the port authority. The same applies to the land of urban areas. In cases where the port and the city interface, conflict may arise usually as a result of political power games, on the part of the City Administration. The latter usually sees port areas as areas of alternative use (coastal zones; residential; fisheries; recreational; etc.). One should not forget that the port is often the favorable subject of discussion of mayors, many of whom don't even know what a port really is, but who believe that by doing so they may score political points, or divert public attention from other pressing problems of their own Administration. In Brindisi, as in other Italian ports, the mayor is a member of the port council. During my term there, I don't recall a single meeting where the mayor did not state that the reason he takes part in the Council is not just to control, supervise and vote, but to actually manage! Certain 'left' parties of the City Administration, in addition, still believe that ports should not be autonomous, but run by city councils as was the case 50 years ago!
Regional planning, and inter-port competition
In Italy, port planning, together with the planning of the rest of the infrastructure, is the prerogative of the Regions. This is stipulated by the country's Constitution (Article 5). Of course, Italy is not unique in this policy of decentralization but, unfortunately, this has created considerable duplication, 'cathedrals in desert', and a waste of scarce financial resources. With the need for fiscal harmonization in the European Union, it is obvious that a reversal of trends needs to take place, transferring decision making power from the periphery to the center.
Regional transport plans are often at considerable variance from national transport and logistics planning, rather than being parts of it. Rarely, if ever, have I seen a serious scientific transport planning exercise, similar to those we are accustomed to in northern Europe. Instead, plans are influenced, and relevant funds allocated, according to the relative influence (at "Rome") of local politicians. This is one of the reasons why infrastructure in southern Italy is so underdeveloped, compared to the north, where political power mostly resides.
Brindisi is another good example of neglected infrastructure, vis a vis its adjacent neighbor, Bari, just because the latter port-city is the Seat of the Regional government, with the large majority of regional politicians coming from that city. This, in spite of the fact that, in terms of traffic and available infrastructure and connections, Brindisi is far more important and more strategically located in the Adriatic and Mediterranean Sea.
When the European TEN-T 'core' and 'comprehensive' ports were decided, I made a great effort to also include Brindisi as a 'core' port, together with the other two regional ports of Taranto and Bari, which were included, but on the basis of only "political" and not economic arguments. This would create a real 'port system' of the Apulian ports, something that, as it became obvious, the regional administration had paid only lip service. Unfortunately, my efforts met a brick wall, for the fate of the port of Brindisi had been already determined by influential Bari politicians (and nonexistent Brindisi ones). To add insult to injury, the same politicians who for years had been favoring Bari over Brindisi (often with the 'convenient' assistance of local Brindisi port interests) have consistently been arguing that the predicament of Brindisi was owed to its own bad management. Let it be noted that, currently, Grimaldi, the world's largest Ro-Ro operator has already made Brindisi one of its most important Mediterranean hubs![3]
TEN-T and national transport and logistics planning
The Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) is one of the European Union's most ambitious and far- reaching projects, aiming to: a) advance economic and social cohesion; b) harmonize and rationalize public investments in infrastructure throughout Europe; and c) improve the competitiveness of European exports. The creation of a trans-European transport network includes ports, as crucial network nodes, and, through the equally important program of the Motorways of the Sea, extends this network to third countries outside the Union. TEN-T divides ports in two categories: 'core' ports, i.e. ports of European interest and 'comprehensive' ports, i.e. those of national or regional interest.
After many years of deliberations, in 2014 the Italian government decided to draw a National Port and Logistics Plan, PNPL, so as to: harmonize the country's port system to that proposed by TEN-T; select as ports of national interest those included as 'core' ports in TEN-T; strengthen the link between ports and logistics service providers; improve the competitiveness of Italian exports; strengthen the competitiveness of Italian ports vis a vis those of northern Europe; and last but not least save–or so it thought- on the financial resources going into other public port administrations, i.e. those port authorities intended to be abolished and integrated under those of 'core' ports.
In spite of its stated objectives, from the beginning I was against this idea, believing that a national ports plan cannot exist without a national transportation plan; otherwise it would look like we were putting the cart before the horse. Without a transportation plan, one could not possibly argue which port authorities should remain and which should be taken over; any such arguments would be bound to be political rather than economic. Moreover, the aggregation of ports has been motivated by competition among north Italian container ports, while a number of other ports, to be integrated, were handling important bulk cargo and passengers.
The drafting of PNPL was commissioned to an international consultant, under the supervision of a so-called Scientific Commission, appointed by the Minister, the composition and competences of which I never understood. The Report was nothing more that what it was expected to be at the outset: A 'consultancy report' full of tables and figures, as well as normative wish-lists and unsubstantiated views, without any scientific or methodological rigor or relevance. As a result, the proposed list and composition of 'port clusters' has been changing by the day, according to the 'political influence' of port presidents in the ruling Democratic Party (PD), and the intensive horse trading among themselves and the minister.
It thus became clear to all something that, to me, was evident from the very beginning: The objective of 'port aggregations' was never to create stronger and internationally more competitive 'port clusters' but to centralize decision making in order to eliminate competition among ports. Such ideas however belong to the past and, at any rate, go against the orientations of the European Commission and European Parliament who would like to see ports as 'enterprises' with operational; administrative; and financial autonomy.[4]
Infrastructure financing through 'project financing' (PPP)
Thus, the Italian government has made the usual textbook mistake of most economic reforms: Instead of improving on efficiency; cutting down bureaucracy; and encouraging private sector participation, it opted for just reducing the mere number of port authorities, without any economic rationale.
Public sector bureaucracy is Italy's biggest challenge and if the problem is not addressed timely I fear the country could soon face the fate of Greece. A miscellany of international reports and statistics demonstrate Italy, together with Greece, as the worst European countries in terms of attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). A few years back, my colleague, the president of the Port of Taranto, invited the Port of Rotterdam to have a look at the Apulian ports (Bari, Brindisi, Taranto) and assess whether opportunities existed for cooperation and joint ventures. The Rotterdam team, following intensive visits and interviews, produced its report, with a very clear bottom line: "the entrepreneurial climate in southern Italy is at great variance to north European business practices and this reality was not conducive to taking the issue further".
In terms of financing, it should be noted that Italian ports do not cost anything, to say the least, to the country's public burses. They are instead self-financed through VAT receipts from Italian imports passing through seaports. The system entails a degree of unfairness and considerable lack of transparency, particularly as regards the criteria of redistribution of these receipts amongst all ports by the Italian government. For instance, Brindisi is a major VAT contributor, being an importer of considerable quantities of coal, but what comes back to it as a result is very limited. Said differently, the city and the port face all the environmental problems connected to the handling of coal, while other, 'luckier' ports enjoy the benefits of Brindisi's VAT receipts.
I have always argued that this type of public financing is wrong and it ought to change with emphasis on private investment and finance. This is also the orientation of the European Commission who would like to see more port autonomy in terms of investments, financing and the pricing of port services. To my view, public financing should be reserved only to major infrastructure works, such as motorways, railways, and basic port infrastructure of general interest such as breakwaters and access channels. Everything else should be the domain of the private sector who should also assume investment risk through concessions and PPPs. In this way, it would be 'demand' that would dictate infrastructure development and not supply, which tends to create excess capacity and 'cathedrals in desert'.
[1] At the time of writing, one of the objectives of the Renzi Administration was to considerably shorten these times, as well as scrap Port Councils; and quite rightly so: The latter, in the past 20 years, have done nothing else than hold back the growth and development of ports, by promoting personal or special interests, often in tacit agreement with the port management they were expected to control and supervise.
[2] In Brindisi, I had ferociously resisted such a policy, promoted by various interest groups (ship agents) who wanted "their own" berths, at the cost of better port utilization.
[3] At the time of writing, Grimaldi had asked for a 20 year concession of one of our terminals, as it had done in many other parts of the world. The majority of port operators (ship agents and not only), many quite friendly disposed to Bari, and with businesses there, were against this project on the basis of irrelevant 'monopoly' arguments, when it was crystal clear, from their publications in the local press, that the real issue was that the concession would 'disturb' the regional, Bari-centric, planning. In other words, the concession would make Brindisi more important than it should be….
[4] I have colleagues, port presidents, who vehemently argue that "competition kills competitiveness". Others, with strong "left" political inclinations, argue that ports should not compete at all. Instead, if, say, a global liner operator would like to call or invest in the country, he should not talk to individual ports but to the minister himself; the latter would himself tell them in which port they should go!

Amazing I can't stand that cute face so I always play.Install it.I think you should it is very very fun and funny.
Cutie Monkey – is a fascinating game where the main character is a monkey-boy, which you drive it with your touch screen. Main goal of the game is to collect and bring to monkey-girl fruits that she wants, and get hearts for that. The number of hearts obtained depends on her mood. The longer a monkey-girl waits for its fruit, the angrier she gets. Fruit, which dreams of a monkey-girl at the moment, appears above her head.
But, you need to hurry, because the girl's desire is changeable, and in a few seconds, she can change her mind. If you were late to bring her the dreaming fruit you break her heart.If the broken hearts will gather too much – you fail the level.
In order to pass that level, you need to get a certain number of hearts. On the way to his lover, the monkey-boy will be met with the insidious enemies that in the collision will take the fruits from the main character, spending precious time for completing girl`s desire. From time to time, enemies can fall asleep. Take benefit of this, for going on a cloud, on which is the enemy.
If the entire level you do not have any broken heart and the enemy has never bitten you and did not take the fruit, then you will have the opportunity to get a bonus level: for a certain amount of time to collect all the fruits from each cloud, thereby increasing its total number of points.
I can't stand that cute face so I always play.Install it.I think you should it is very very fun and funny.

I've had so many moments of inspiration and I've thought,"Oooh, I need to write a short blog on that." And the moment passes because there are so many tasks and other thoughts milling around nearby, waiting for a chance to interrupt and state their importance. Shouldn't I be more in charge of my own thought processes? I used to pride myself on my ability to focus, but now I see that part of that was my militantly reclusive habit of writing during eighty percent of my free time.
Since my debut novel came out (The Right Ingredients, by the way!) I've fallen into a whirlpool of social media and promoting. And because of this, my thoughts have become more scattered. So many options for advertising, so many clamoring voices once I opened those doors. Yikes! Promoting more means selling more, which could someday mean the ability to be able to do more than make ends meet every month, and always look the other way at needed house repairs, or car repairs. Not renovations or improvements, mind you, but repairs! So I slog on with the tweets, posts, website visits, book giveaways etc.
Then I realized that the most important thing is to write good stories, pray they'll be well received, and limit the marketing to a small daily space of time. There's only so much I can do, and I started writing to speak out the stories in my head. That's what matters. I'm beginning to calm down and realize this. And, oh, when I sit down to write, the focus returns. The world calms down and centers in on the world of my characters. With God's help, I'll find a balance inside me, and focus on story-telling.
That's my discourse for today! Back to the keyboard!
Wow! I'm learning how to self-promote!
As I've said in more than one blog interview, I'm not very good at the promotion aspect of being an author. But I'm learning! I'll have to bring the same dogged determination to this as I do to improving my writing.
This debut novel reminds me of the early Mitford novels. A slice of life story with a gentler feeling to it. Some interesting plot twists surprised me, and I fell in love with the characters.
"The Right Ingredients" is an engaging book with realistic characters. Author Nancy Bolton manages to weave themes of divine, romantic, and family love into a cohesive plot, as the redemptive power of love transforms Ann from a timid wall flower into a mature, confident woman. Grab a tissue to dab at some happy tears while you immerse yourself in this tender love story.
I had the pleasure of previewing "The Right Ingredients" by Nancy Shew Bolton. I wasn't disappointed. Her story weaves a dream two college friends bring to fruition. Along the way they experience, faith, confidence, trust and love. A plus are the luscious goodies they make, that will bring a smile to your face and a dash to your favorite bakery!
Diane Dean White – author of Carolina in the Morning, On a Summer Night, Stories from a Porch Swing and Texting Mr. Right.
MY debut novel is out next week!! I'm excited!!
It's finally happening! After much work, editing, etc., my first book is finally ready to launch, with another waiting in the wings for the spring of next year! My first book is called "The Right Ingredients" and will be released on the 24th of this month. I've always loved September! Here's a picture of the cover, and a headshot of me looking a bit surprised, but gratified that my book is coming out!
Missing the right ingredients for a life of joy, a young baker learns lessons in the true recipe for love.
Ann's hectic work responsibilities demand all her time and effort, and what was once a useful, satisfactory life has become a burden. Her bakery partner Susan has lost none of her enthusiasm for their business, and Ann can't understand her exuberance, or her friend's Christian faith. So she trudges along, hiding her dissatisfaction from Susan, resigned to a life of work, sleep and problems.
Unexpected comments offered by two different people cause a crack in Ann's armor and her thoughts careen into unexpected directions. Attention from a young widower with a son challenges Ann's resolve to stay safe and uninvolved. Susan's example of faith through trial furthers Ann's curiosity about God. Ann must choose to step toward the unfamiliar freedom of giving and receiving love, or stay in the shadows, stuck in the grip of past hurt and long-standing barriers.
I had the pleasure of previewing "The Right Ingredients" by Nancy Shew Bolton.
On a Summer Night, Stories from a Porch Swing and Texting Mr. Right.
So there you have a short introduction to my debut novel, which will be released on the 24th, and available at: Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and All Romance ebooks. YIPPEE!!!!!


From the convention: Will private schools even take voucher students?
Expanding school choice is a central piece of Mitt Romney's education platform. But allowing more public dollars to follow low-income and special-needs children to private schools — one of Romney's main proposals for reforming American education– does not guarantee those schools will open their doors to them.
For example, a private school not far from the convention center — highlighted on the GOP Convention website as one of Florida's best independent schools — did not take part in Florida's first voucher program, which was ruled unconstitutional in 2006. And Tampa Preparatory School — founded in 1974 by a group of Tampa citizens, including Al Austin, chairman of the 2012 Tampa Bay Host Committee for the Republican convention — does not participate in the state's current school choice programs.
Florida has a voucher program for special-education students and a tax credit scholarship program in which taxpayers are able to receive credits for donations made toward private school scholarships for low-income students.
As it turns out, many of Florida's independent schools, which are a small subset of private schools that aim to be entirely independent from the government, do not take any form of public money on philosophical grounds.
Tampa Prep, which serves grades six through 12, stresses student participation and the development of self-confidence. It's open to students of all backgrounds, its website says. The middle school costs $18,375 a year, if paid in two installments in June and December, and the high school costs $19,025. The school supplies its own financial aid to help families unable to cover the full cost of tuition.
Robin Kennedy, the school's Director of Alumni Relations and Communications, said in an email that the school had looked into vouchers, but so far has chosen not to participate.
Other Florida private schools say they would welcome an expanded voucher system. Many parochial schools around the country have struggled in recent years to stay afloat financially.
"[Romney's plan] is definitely something we'd follow with interest," said James Herzog, associate director of education for the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, which oversees the state's Catholic schools. "We think it would make a big difference to our schools.
Although not all of Florida's Catholic schools chose to take part in the state's current school choice programs, the majority do, Herzog said, and the number grows each year.

Jim Parsons Net Worth
Jim Parsons net worth 2022 is $160 million. He is one of the highest paid Television actors. He is best known for his role as Sheldon in CBS show Big Bang theory. He has received several awards for his performance, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy.
Jim Parsons was born at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, Texas, and was raised in one of its northern suburbs, Spring. He is the son of Milton Joseph "Mickey/Jack" Parsons, Jr. and teacher Judy Ann (née McKnight). His sister, Julie Ann Parsons, is also a teacher.

After playing the role of the Kola-Kola bird in a school production of The Elephant's Child at age six, Parsons was determined to become an actor.
He attended Klein Oak High School in Spring. Parsons points to a role in Noises Off during his junior year as the first time "I fully connected with the role I was playing and started to truly understand what it meant to be honest on stage." The young Parsons was heavily influenced by sitcoms, particularly Three's Company, Family Ties, and The Cosby Show.

After graduating from high school, Parsons earned a B.A. degree in Theater from the University of Houston. He was prolific during this time, appearing in 17 plays in 3 years. He was a founding member of Infernal Bridegroom Productions and regularly appeared at the Stages Repertory Theatre. Parsons enrolled in graduate school at the University of San Diego in 1999.

He was one of seven students accepted into a special two-year course in classical theater, taught in partnership with the Old Globe Theater. Program director Rick Seer recalled having reservations about admitting Parsons, saying, "Jim is a very specific personality. He's thoroughly original, which is one reason he's been so successful.
Parsons made his Broadway debut in 2011 portraying Tommy Boatwright in the play The Normal Heart, for which he shared a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance.
He reprised the role in the film adaptation of the play, and he received his seventh Emmy nomination, this time in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie.
Similarly, Parsons starred as party host Michael in the 50th anniversary Broadway production of The Boys in the Band, which won the 2019 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, reprising his performance (with the whole Broadway anniversary cast) in the 2020 film adaptation.
In film, Parsons has voiced the lead character in Home (2015) and played supporting roles in Hidden Figures (2016) and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019).
Read Adam Sandler net worth
Parsons has estimated that he auditioned for between 15 and 30 television pilots, but on many of the occasions when he was cast, the show failed to find a television network willing to purchase it.
The exception came with The Big Bang Theory. After reading the pilot script, Parsons felt that the role of Sheldon Cooper would be a very good fit for him.
Although he did not feel any sort of relationship with the character, he was enchanted by the dialogue structure, the way the writers "brilliantly use those words that most of us don't recognize to create that rhythm, and the rhythm got me. It was the chance to dance through that dialogue and in a lot of ways still is."
In September 2010, Parsons and co-stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco signed new contracts, guaranteeing each of them $200,000 per episode for the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory, with substantial raises for each of the next three seasons. The three were also promised a percentage of the show's earnings.
In January 2011, Parsons won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Comedy. From August 2013, Parsons, Cuoco and Galecki each earned $325,000 per episode.
In August 2014, Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco once again signed new contracts, guaranteeing each of them $1 million per episode for the eighth, ninth, and tenth seasons of The Big Bang Theory, as well as quadrupling their percentage of the show's earnings to over 1% each.
In August 2018, Parsons announced his refusal of a contract worth $50 million for seasons 13 and 14. The producers simultaneously announced that, after 279 episodes, the most of any multi-camera series in TV history, the show would come to an "epic, creative close" in May 2019. Parsons was expected to remain in his role as narrator of the prequel series, Young Sheldon.

Runner hid her gender to be the first 'official' woman in the Boston Marathon, they tried to physically remove her
October 14, 2022 September 10, 2021 by FarahR
There was a time in human history when women weren't allowed to wear pants, vote, and compete in sports, among many other restrictions. One woman who lived during such a time was Kathrine Switzer, but she didn't let those ridiculous restrictions keep her from doing what she wanted.
So, in 1967, the then 20-year-old journalism student at Syracuse University in New York competed in the Boston Marathon, believing it was about time that a woman officially ran the all-male race.
Although Roberta Gibb did it the year before, she didn't actually sign up for the race and hid her gender by wearing a baggy hooded sweatshirt at the start of the event.
Back then, most of society held a notion that women in sports were unattractive. According to Switzer, the idea of long-distance running was considered questionable for women because it was a strenuous activity that may cause them to get big legs, grow a mustache, and their uterus to fall out.
To get into the race, Switzer registered using her initials (K.V. Switzer) instead of her full name, allowing her gender to remain a secret until the day of the race.
She wanted everyone in the event to know that a woman was competing with the men, so she wore lipstick and earrings for the run. A teammate told her to wipe off her makeup, but the bold woman refused.
A few miles in, she noticed a man in the middle of the road shaking his finger at her as she ran past. Then, she heard the sound of leather shoes and instantly knew that something was amiss.
"Instinctively I jerked my head around quickly and looked square into the most vicious face I'd ever seen. A big man, a huge man, with bared teeth was set to pounce, and before I could react he grabbed my shoulder and flung me back, screaming, 'Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!'" Switzer wrote in her memoir, "Marathon Woman."
The furious man was race director Jock Semple, who proceeded to grab Switzer's bib number. He knocked down Switzer's trainer, Arnie Briggs, to the ground. But luckily, her then-boyfriend Tom Miller—a 235-pound ex-football player and hammer thrower—blocked Semple out and pulled him off her.
She ran from the altercation and persevered to complete the race, crossing the finish line after four hours and 20 minutes.
"I knew if I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles," she recalled. "If I quit, everybody would say it was a publicity stunt. If I quit, it would set women's sports back, way back, instead of forward. If I quit, I'd never run Boston. If I quit, Jock Semple and all those like him would win. My fear and humiliation turned to anger."
Switzer used her influence to push for women to be allowed into the Boston Marathon by 1972.
She went on to become an accomplished marathoner, winning the 1974 New York City Marathon and placing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon, achieving her personal best of two hours and 51 minutes.
In 2012, Switzer helped start 261 Fearless, a nonprofit that aims to empower women through running.
In 2017, she ran the Boston Marathon again at 70, wearing the same race number, 261. She finished the race in fours hours and 30 minutes, only ten minutes off from her first run in 1967.
"Running is a social revolution now. Women are not just doing it to get into races or to lose a couple of pounds, they're doing it for fun, for their self esteem. It's transformative," she said at the time. "We've come a light year but we still have a long way to go."
The Boston Marathon has also retired the number 261 in her honor.
The top right corner of her original 261 bib is missing because Semper was able to get a piece of it, but Switzer still has the rest of it hidden in her house.
This story is a great reminder of how far society has come regarding its treatment and view of women. Hopefully, the existing gender inequalities we still have today will be addressed, so we can live in a better and more equitable world.

Nebelwerfer 42 & PzKpfw 38(T)
Der Leiter last edited by
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/aam/ah20060920c
Both decent units, uncommons, and are available 1939+
The Nebelwerfer is very much like a Katyusha; trading mobility for a bit better defence and AT dice. It would have been nice if they included indirect fire, but it's still not bad. The Pz38(t) is a great early war tank and mobile. +1 to movement rolls is helpful, and although speed 1 while disrupted is ok it's not likely to get the now defence 2/1 tank far enough away to survive. Still it's pretty good and worth the +1 point over the R-2 L-35.
I always find out about the new units in this section that in the front page. lol
I really like the Nebelwerfer. Its like a Katyusha but without the mobility of one. However it probaly wont get destroyed as fast as a Katyusha and it has incredible rolls for vehicles. Cant wait for the next salvo! :lol:
What is A&A Miniatures?
djensen
All in good time mate!
More insomnia.
I got a look at the French tank mini - Renault R35? - yesterday. I noticed it had a cross with indented arms painted on its tail.
Wait up, I thought. That's not French. It's Romanian.
A little checking revealed that the Romanian Army had over seventy R35s that they bought from France in the 1930's.
So, your R35 mini can fight as
French, allies, in 1940
-Vichy French, axis, against the British in Syria in 1941 or the Brits and Americans in Tunisia in 1942
Romanian, axis, as German allies against the Russians in 1941-44
Romanian, allied, as Russian allies against the Germans in 1944-5
German, captured, 1941 onwards.
French, allies, in 1944 (they hid a few and dusted them off after D-Day).
For that matter the Syrians used some R35s against the Israelis in 1948, and the Israelis captured several and used them right back….
When fighting alongside the Russians, the Romanians were still using lots of German kit including PzIVs.
In the same vein, there was a short - lived Australian Tank Regiment in Lybia in 1941 equipped with captured Italian medium tanks (they all had to be scuttled as the British didn't have the diesel fuel to run them), and the British Guards Armoured Division had a 'pet' Panther tank named Cuckoo that saw action against its former owners in 1945.
Anyone know any better examples?
Units changed in the revision you didn't field, but now will??
Miniatures (Original) • • Ducky
@Motdc:
I recall reading that the Poles (I think…maybe it was the French) would cut the wires of the Goliath to defeat them before they detonated. They were remote controlled, not radio controlled.
Wow! I had no idea about this technology and I study the Reich all the time. Looks like it's back to the books for me.
Sherman Calliope & Thompson Gunner
Miniatures (Original) • • Der Leiter
Wow cool, we are going to get the Calliope, I love the fact we get something halfway good that has rocket salvo…
I don't like this smite thing much
Miniatures (Original) • • Der Kommander
Look left under you name.
A&A expanded rules?
Miniatures (Original) • • Locke888
Its a great ruleset and some pretty nice miniatures. It ran for 7 years and went through 10 expansions before going out of production. There is still lots of the AAM stuff on eBay and etc
As you can see nobody here is interested discussing the miniature game. Join this forum and find out anything you want to know about the miniatures game https://forumini.boards.net/
We also have a really cool Army Builder and search engine for the game here, http://www.aamcardbase.com/search_AAM.aspx
Here's a newbie's gripes of sets III & IV.
Miniatures (Original) • • Mors Ab Alto
There are definitely things aspects about the game that are not perfect. But I think the positives outweigh the negatives.
Compared to other games like it, it's cheaper, it has a nice rule system, it is customizeable, and games can be as short or as long as you want them
The Axis & Allies Campaign Game
Miniatures (Original) • • MechanizedWarfare
@Mechanized:
Maybe Motdc's map program will help a lot in this kind of game. 😉
We just need one or two test games going and then I can continue work on it!
Well damn……no one wants to play against me. I suppose I can play a test game by myself. 😉

New Braunfels Trump Train Heads to Austin Saturday to 'Stop the Steal'
Stephanie Johnson
Members of the New Braunfels Trump Train turned out to protest election results in downtown New Braunfels before driving up to Austin on Nov. 7. Image courtesy of Comal County Republican Party's Facebook page.
The same Trump Train trucks that swarmed a Biden/Harris campaign bus on IH-35 between New Braunfels and San Marcos on Oct. 31 will meet up at Buc-ee's in New Braunfels at 10:15 a.m. Saturday to head back north, this time to Austin for a 'Stop the Steal' rally challenging the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election as president of the United States.
Organizer Randi Ceh made the announcement on the group's Facebook page.
"Stop the Steal" is one of many rallies planned nationwide in the wake of President Donald Trump's false accusations that the 2020 presidential election involved voter fraud.
Trump has refused to concede the election and today tweeted it was "heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there."
According to social media, the New Braunfels Trump Train also is planning a "rolling" train rally on Sunday. Rolling rallies do not begin or end at a particular location. Members can join the parade at any point or time.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that Seguin and Boerne Trump trains also plan to parade through their communities on Sunday.

Selena Gomez invests in $15 billion grocery delivery company Gopuff
Actress-singer Selena Gomez has been named as an investor in startup Gopuff, a company valued at $15 billion,known for delivering food and groceries in record time.
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old Grammy nominee told Fortune that she was impressed the first time she got a delivery from the company's service. "The first time I heard about Gopuff was one night when I was hanging out with some friends at home," the singer told Fortune. "We needed something from the store, but no one wanted to hop in the car and drive, so someone suggested Gopuff. I was blown away by how quickly our order arrived."
"After that, I started hearing their name and seeing the Gopuff brand pop up all over," she added.
Though she did not reveal how much she invested, the singer also spoke about what she hopes to work on and invest in in the future. "When that deal closed, I was beyond thrilled and it really piqued my interest in the other aspects of business and investing," Gomez said. "As for what is next, I have a few things up my sleeve."
According to Fortune, which announced the news, Gopuff differs from companies like DoorDash and Postmates, since the startup, founded in 2013, owns its inventory, which is offered on its platform. So far, the company owns 550 micro-fulfillment centers in the United States and the United Kingdom, and deliveries arrive in less than 30 minutes.
Along with the investment, ice cream from Gomez' Serendipity Brands, which Gomez co-owns, will be offered on the platform. "We're super passionate about working with local brands," the company's SVP Dan Folkman told Fortune.
"Selena was obviously already a partner [in Serendipity] and she has her own flavor. So to be able to bring that flavor to the market and have it as a place where people can get it on Gopuff, we think is a homerun."
He added, "For celebrities like Selena to promote a product on social media and within 20 minutes, have it at someone's door is game-changing for brands."
On the other hand, Selena Gomez collaborated with Colombian singer Camilo in a song titled 999, which was released on August 27, 2021.

In June 2014, the company announced that Mycoskie was looking to sell part of his stake in the company to help it grow faster and meet its long-term goals.[23] On August 20, 2014 Bain Capital acquired 50% of Toms. Reuters reported that the transaction valued the company at $625 million; Mycoskie's personal wealth following the deal was reported at $300 million.[2] Mycoskie retained 50% ownership of Toms, as well as his role as "Chief Shoe Giver". Mycoskie said he would use half of the proceeds from the sale to start a new fund to support socially minded entrepreneurship, and Bain would match his investment and continue the company's one-for-one policy.[24][25]
By 2011, over 500 retailers carried the brand globally and in the same year, Toms launched its eyewear line.[21] By 2012 over two million pairs of new shoes had been given to children in developing countries around the world. The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative at the University of New Mexico has described the company as an example of social entrepreneurship.[14][22]
What began as a simple idea has evolved into a powerful business model that helps address need and advance health, education and economic opportunity for children and their communities around the world. Supporting TOMS Shoes is also a compassionate display of support for helping children get some of the basics they need to enjoy better and healthier lives. Whether it's a pair of TOMS booties, shoes or sandals, you're helping to make a difference in the world.
