OMG these old photos of Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt are so adorable!
Falling in love with 500 Days of Summer is basically a rite of passage. After all, what other movie fills you with hope, breaks it down to a pit of bottomless despair, and then builds you back up again, just in time for the credits?
500 Days of Summer is also the first time many of us fell in love with both Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. What few of us know, however, is that the pair were the romantic counter-parts in a movie pre-500 Days of Summer. That's right: The pair starred in the 2001 indie film Manic.
Luckily, there are plenty of behind the scene shots for us to check out. And yes, they totally look like babies.

Look, it's two of our favorite stars, just chilling (literally) on a bench. Relatable, yes? The heavy winter attire makes sense, given that these shots took place in Utah, at an E! party during Sundance, where Manic premiered.
Talk about throwbacks, are we right?!
Unlike 500 Days of Summer, Manic deals with some extra-heavy material. Without giving away too much of the plot, Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt play characters who are locked in a psychiatric facility and both struggle with their own mental health issues.

And here is one of the whole Manic cast, to boot.

Q: Install SSL on Tomcat with certificate .cer My question is whether it is possible to add SSL to a Windows Server with Tomcat 7 installed using only a .cer file.
I have a client that uses SSL in your applications with ISS and whenever you need to install SSL on your ISS server only install this .cer file: But as I did an application with Tomcat for it and I need to protect that application with HTTPS I asked for a certificate and it I sent this .cer file.
I have already tried to generate the .JKS file and add it to Tomcat in some ways and with none I was successful. Ex:
keytool -import -alias root -keystore example.jks -trustcacerts -file certificate.cer

With this I generate the jks file and map it to tomcat and it happens that it does not work. I know the Tomcat settings are fine because I did a test generating the file using genkey which returns me a .keystore file and with that it works.
Edit:
Connector in server.xml:
    <Connector
       protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
       port="443"
       maxThreads="200"
       scheme="https"
       secure="true"
       SSLEnabled="true"
       keystoreFile="C:/path/example.jks"
       keystorePass="password"
       clientAuth="false"
       sslProtocol="TLS"
       keyAlias="root" />

Should I request this certificate in another format?
Has anyone gone through this and can you give me some hint at least?
Thank you.

A: To answer your question: A single CER file will usually not be enough to properly configure an HTTPS-Connector in Tomcat or any other Web-/Application-Server.
Not sure how this is configured in IIS but you will always need a private/secret key to use SSL.
Basically the standard flow when using a signed certificate (not self-signed) is like this:

*

*Generate a private/secret key
$ keytool -genkey -keystore tomcat.jks -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keystore tomcat.jks -dname "CN=<hostname>"

*Generate a certificate signing request for this key
$ keytool -certreq -keystore tomcat.jks -alias tomcat -file tomcat.csr

*This signing request (the CSR file) is submitted to a signing authority and you get a signed certificate (the CER file) in return
$ keytool -gencert -keystore root-ca.jks -alias root -infile tomcat.csr -outfile tomcat.cer -rfc

*This certificate together with the certificate of the signing authority are imported into your keystore
$ keytool -import -keystore tomcat.jks -file my-root-ca.cer -trustcacerts -alias my-root-ca
$ keytool -importcert -keystore tomcat.jks -alias tomcat -file tomcat.cer

Now the tomcat.jks file can be used in Tomcat as keystore for an HTTPS connector.
There is no information on what your certificate.cer file contains in the question. To check the contents using keytool you can use this command
$ keytool -printcert -file certificate.cer

In my example above the output looks like this:
Owner: CN=<hostname>
Issuer: CN=My-Root-CA, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown
Serial number: 222f266a
Valid from: Sat Aug 25 12:41:01 CEST 2018 until: Fri Nov 23 11:41:01 CET 2018
...

Maybe you could add the output to your question to get more help, if needed.

Årets bästa handbollsspelare (IHF World Player of the Year) är en utmärkelse som varje år sedan 1984 tilldelas en manlig och en kvinnlig handbollsspelare. Utmärkelsen delas ut av Internationella handbollförbundet (IHF) och vem som vinner avgörs genom en omröstning för läsarna av World Handball Magazine och besökarna på IHF:s webbplats. Två svenskar har mottagit utmärkelsen, Magnus Wislander (1990) och Mia Hermansson Högdahl (1994). Magnus Wislander tilldelades år 2000 även utmärkelsen Århundradets spelare. I Sverige delar Svenska Handbollförbundet ut utmärkelsen Årets handbollsspelare i Sverige.

Vinnare, herrar

Vinnare, damer

Bästa handbollsspelaren genom tiderna
År 1992 utsågs Gheorghe Gruia, från Rumänien, till den bäste spelaren genom tiderna, av Internationella handbollförbundet (IHF).

År 2000 utsågs Magnus Wislander (Sverige) och Zinajida Turtjina (Sovjetunionen/Ukraina) till århundradets bästa spelare, av IHF. På herrsidan kom Talant Dujsjebajev (Sovjetunionen/Spanien) på andra plats och Andrej Lavrov (Sovjetunionen/Ryssland) på tredje plats.

Värt att tillägga är att IHF:s webbplats år 2010 genomförde en omröstning över den bästa spelaren genom tiderna. Vinnare blev Ivano Balić (Kroatien) och Svetlana Kitić (Jugoslavien/Bosnien–Hercegovina). Detta räknas dock inte som en officiell utnämning av IHF.

A previous post featured Dr. Barry Schwartz speaking about the paradox of choice. His research discovered that people actually make worse decisions when overloaded with information and choices.
Yet none of us would deny that there is useful information online. So let's look at some strategies for navigating online information without being consumed by it.
How can we discern what has integrity?
Start with credible sources. Who is bringing you this information? What are this person's credentials? motivations? mindset?
When researching a health issue online, I like to start where I have the best chance of success. Here are some of my guidelines.
Lean toward doctors with conventional medical training complemented by additional study in functional and integrative medicine. To me, it's the best of both worlds when they bring all these perspectives to bear on a problem.
Pay attention to whether they base their statements on research and experience, or theories and opinion. I watch for sweeping generalizations and unsupported statements.
Look for someone who is open to learning about new developments, and is not afraid to consider options outside the box of their conventional training.
Research the person, at the very least by reading the "about" page on their website. Usually the content of the about page gives a good sense of the person's philosophy and mission, which is something I find particularly helpful. Of course they're going to present themselves in a good light, but it's unlikely they will lie about books they have written or certifications they have because these are too easily traceable in the Internet era.
Subscribe to their newsletter. This gives you a chance to become familiar with their areas of interest, approach to health, and recommendations. If they are not for you, It's easy to unsubscribe and move on.
Filter all of this through your intuition. What does your gut say about the trustworthiness of this person and their information?
Below are a few examples of online doctors I respect and trust. This is not an exhaustive list but gives you an idea about what's important to me. Your list might be quite different. The important thing is that you find the people who ring bells for you, in order to get the help you need.
Dr. Christiane Northrup is a board-certified OB/GYN physician, and a leading authority in the field of women's health and wellness, which includes the unity of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. She says, "When we find the connection between our thoughts, beliefs, physical health, and life circumstances, we find that we are in the driver's seat of our lives and can make profound changes. Nothing is more exhilarating or empowering." Dr. Northrup is an internationally respected writer and speaker whose books have been translated into 24 languages. In 2016, she was named one of Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul 100, a group of leaders who are using their voices and talent to awaken humanity.
Dr. Sarah Myhill is a general practitioner who has spent many years working with those experiencing chronic fatigue. Frustrated with the limitations and restrictions of practising under the National Health Service, she is now in private practice in Wales. Her focus is to discover root causes of health issues instead of treating symptoms, and her highly successful approach is based on diet, micronutrient status, allergies, and lifestyle. Dr. Myhill is a member of the British Society for Ecological Medicine, the British equivalent of functional medicine. She has a website full of detailed health information, is the author of several books, and recently founded National Health Worldwide to offer people access to a range of health practitioners no matter where they live.

Rick Warren: His Purpose Is Not to Make Actual Sense
President-elect Barack Obama has ticked off the LGBT community and their friends and allies (yr. blogger included) by offering the symbolically-charged inaguration invocation spot to Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback evangelical megachurch. Warren opposes gay marriage and campaigned for Proposition 8, the gay marriage ban in California.
While I disagree with Rev. Warren's position on the issue, I can't be the only one to find the position doubly infuriating because it's so incoherent. In a recently published interview with BeliefNet and the Wall Street Journal Rev. Warren explained -- or tried to -- his views. Below is an excerpt regarding the marriage issue itself. This follows an attempt to discuss civil unions which becomes a big mess and results in Warren submitting a number of "clarifications" after the fact. I'll try to get to the civil unions bit in a later post, but first we need to suss out the initial position.
(plain text is Warren, bold is the questioner and my thoughts are in italics.)
The issue to me, I'm not opposed to that as much as I'm opposed to redefinition of a 5,000 year definition of marriage. I'm opposed to having a brother and sister being together and calling that marriage. I'm opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that marriage. I'm opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.
The polygamy bugaboo will be funny no matter how many times gay marriage opponents use it. People like Warren base their opposition on the Bible, then invoke polygamy, ignoring the fact that polygamy was foursquare within the 5000 year old definition of marriage up to and through the biblical era.
Do you think those are equivalent to gays getting married?
Oh , I do.
This hurts the worst. Later he talks about having gay friends and eating at their homes. The homes of people whose relationships he equates with incest and pedophilia, apparently.
For 5,000 years, marriage has been defined by every single culture and every single religion – this is not a Christian issue. Buddhist, Muslims, Jews – historically, marriage is a man and a woman.
Well, a man and as many women as he can afford.
Oh, another thing. Warren et al. rhetorically claim (or at least imply) that the definition of marriage has remained static for all those 5000 years. In addition to the above, marriage has at various times been defined as between people of the same race, as between a man and whoever his parents arranged for him, and between a man and the woman he was deemed to own. All of those definitions have been changed and the world failed to spin off its axis.
And the reason I supported Proposition 8, is really a free speech issue. Because first the court overrode the will of the people, but second there were all kinds of threats that if that did not pass then any pastor could be considered doing hate speech if he shared his views that he didn't think homosexuality was the most natural way for relationships, and that would be hate speech. We should have freedom of speech, ok? And you should be able to have freedom of speech to make your position and I should be able to have freedom of speech to make my position,
At this point Warren is either being dishonest or obtuse. Nothing in the California Supreme Court's decision repealed the First Amendment. Put another way, the U.S. Supreme Court held that anti-miscegenation laws violate the Constitution. People can still legally speak out against interracial marriage. They aren't arrested for it, they just are considered douchebags.
This argument was a staple of the Prop 8 folks and made it difficult to respect their position as simply a difference of opinion. It was a lie then and remains a lie today.
and can't we do this in a civil way.
The lying and comparing political adversaries to the worst people in the world way.

I Believe this License Plate is Unconstitutional
. . .though I don't believe the suit against it will ultimately be successful.
This blog has reported earlier about efforts in Florida to create a Christian-themed specialty license plate. South Carolina has begun production and, as of this week, been ordered to stop. Americans United, who brought the suit, has been crowing about a preliminary injunction handed down this week.
Just to be clear about this, a preliminary injunction does give an indication that the judge is leaning toward the party who secures it, but it isn't a complete win, even at the trial court level. It is what it say -- preliminary. Under the right circumstances a judge will make one party or the other stop what they are doing to preserve the status quo pending the ultimate decision. While one part of the calculus is a judgment that the moving party is likely to succeed on the merits, it's entirely possible to obtain a preliminary injunction, then ultimately lose.
To say nothing of the appeal. The Fourth Circuit runs shoulder to shoulder with DC in the race for the most conservative appellate panel. And at some point the Supremes will weigh in as well and the current Court is not friendly to Establishment Clause claims.
In the opinion granting the injunction, the trial court notes:
As the Supreme Court has further explained, "Government may not promote or affiliate itself with any religious doctrine or organization." [quoting County of Allegheny v. ACLU].
Allegheny County is a 1989 case regarding a government-sponsored Christmas and Chanuka display. Of the five member majority, only one -- Justice John Paul Stevens -- still sits on the Court. On the other hand, Justice Anthony Kennedy now the swing justice authored a dissenting opinion which offers his views at the time regarding government-sponsored religious speech. Kennedy rejects the argument that government religious endorsement is unconstitutional if it conveys the message to non-believers that the are not part of the political culture. Instead, he argues that Establishment Clause cases turn on whether the government conduct is in some way coercive to non-believers.
A lot has happened to Kennedy's jurisprudence since 1989s- he is the one conservative justice who has drifted toward the center. So it remains to be seen whether that is still his view and whether he will forego that view given that the majority decided differently. Personally I'm not confident that he will.
And so what's the harm, you ask? If the standard is actual coercion, shouldn't that offer enough protection to reprobates and heretics like yr humble blogger and his friends. Well, a couple of things. First off, make no mistake -- making nonbelievers feel as if they are outside the American community isn't a side effect of efforts like the SC license plate, it's a goal. And a constant drumbeat of messages that certain people are not "real" Americans pushes closer and closer to the level of coercion.
In other words, the line between government conveying the message that nonbelievers are truly part of the community and "coercion" is far more difficult to draw that Justice Kennedy seems to believe.

Party Animals in the Sixth Circuit
Remember the HAVA suit against Jennifer Brunner during the runup to the election? The Republicans filed suit against Ohio's Secretary of State alleging that she was violating the Help America Vote Act1. A three judge panel of the Sixth Circuit ruled that the suit should be dismissed, then the entire Sixth Circuit sitting en banc overturned the panel's decision. Then the Supreme Court reversed again.
A story in last week's Washington Post put the case in a broader context. The Republican dominated Circuit hs been using its discretionary power to rehear en banc to overturn panel decisions the majority doesn't like:
"Anytime two of us show up on a panel and they don't like it, they yank it," said one Democratic-appointed judge on the circuit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid directly provoking colleagues.
That may be only a slight exaggeration, according to a Washington Post review of all of the circuit's en banc rulings in the past decade. In the past five years, initial verdicts by panels dominated by Democratic appointees were clearly reversed by Bush's appointees and other Republican picks 17 times, out of 28 decisions issued by the full court.
This is arguably an abuse of the en banc power:
Under 6th Circuit rules, full court, or "en banc," hearings are allowed in order to ensure "uniformity of the court's decisions" when separate panels of three randomly appointed judges disagree, or when questions of "exceptional importance" are at stake. But some of the court's Democratic appointees allege that the Republican-appointed majority is grabbing and reversing cases whenever those judges disapprove of the social consequences of the Democratic appointees' rulings.
Much of the article focuses on criminal appeals and the whole thing is worth the click-thru. H/t Stefan Padfield at Akron Law Cafe whose link eventually gets you there.
One last point. The accompanying graphic shows that in 2001 the circuit was essentially split with 27 vacancies. The vacancies at that time pretty much account for the shift during the Bush years. In the second Clinton term Republican Senators were refusing to allow dozens of Clinton's appointees an "up or down vote" leaving several circuits and district courts with similar gaping vacancies. We cannot allow whatever shenanigans the Rs try to pull with Obama's nominees this time around.
1The suit itself was somewhat Bizarro World. The Act requires state election officials to compare voter rolls against public databases to create a sort of EZ Pass for voters deemed bona fide before showing up at the polls. Republicans being Republicans wanted to covert it into a Help REAL America Supress the Vote Act.

Rod Blagojevic Is Why I'm Not a "Democrat for Blackwell"
Some merry blogosphereic pranksters have started a "Democrats for Blackwell" Facebook group, advocating that the former Secretary of State and current far right commentator be elevated to RNC chair. The gag -- and it's a good one -- is Blackwell's radical conservatism coupled with his political incompetence will keep the Republican Party weak and regional. All respect to the guys behind this, I laughed when I got the invite. But the ill fortunes of the Republican Party are not a good thing.
Case in point, a David Broder column about indicted Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevic. After recounting Blagojevic's improbable rise to power, Broder notes
He had a rocky first term in Springfield, where he quickly became known as an absentee executive and where his inner circle was rumored to be operating with hands out. An unseemly family feud with his father-in-law fed the gossip mills.
But in 2006, the badly weakened Illinois GOP furnished another unelectable opponent, and Blagojevich won without breaking a sweat.
I for one want the Republican Party to come back, at least enough to be a credible threat. (I'd like it if we could consistently beat that threat, but still) First I'm close enough to center to understand that a Democratic agenda with no brakes is not a good thing. But more than that, losing political accountability makes the Blogojevices (and for that matter, Tafts and Noes) that much more likely.
I want a Republican Party that can both deter corruption and root it out when it happens. I'd prefer a party that can occaisionally field a moderate candidate who I could vote for if the Dem is, say, a more recalcitrant version of Marc Dann. Sadly, conservatives have spent so much time filtering out anything that doesn't tell them how right they are, I doubt they can properly diagnose their problems, much less fix them.
RNC Chairman Blackwell would calcify all the worst tendencies of the Party. That's an excellent subject for Facebook humor. But it's not something anyone should actually wish for.
Philed under: Moonbats and Wingnuts, Party Poop
The GOPs Problems in a Nutshell
In a HuffPo piece on the RNC looking at Howard Dean's fifty state model for inspiration, this nugget:
"By relying on wedge issues to win, they've used issues to divide people and worked to appeal to an increasingly smaller group of people," said the aide. "Dean's point has not just been that we need to show up in all 50-states but also that as a party we need to ask people for their votes, listen to what they have to say and be willing to work to solve issues in areas where we have common ground, even if we don't agree with everything."
Part of that is simply showing up. The leading Republican presidential candidates this cycle famously shunned an African-American themed debate, much to the chagrin of moderates like Jack Kemp, who worried that the party had become too country club.
It's entirely true that running on a politics of red meat and hot buttons is inconsistent with running across the map. One indication of how far the party has gone toward rigid dogmatism: the fact that Jack Kemp is now being called a moderate. It was surreal when wingers derided McCain as a moderate, but Jack Kemp? He was one of the intellectual drivers of the Reagan revolution for God's sake. He is, to be sure, consistently concerned about elevating the poor, but he has just as consistently stood firmly for market-based solutions and limited government.
Yes, this is a characterization by a liberal blogger and yes, probably "pragmatist" is a better description than "moderate." Still the point remains -- Jack Kemp, once a mainstay of the conservative wing of the GOP is now an outsider and the conservative wing is nearly coextensive with the party itself.
One of my reading obsessions since the election has been anything and everything about how the Republicans can bounce back. It's in the best interests of the country that there be two viable parties to keep each other in check. But more and more it feels like conservatives aren't particularly interested in coming back if it means anything less than fielding a uniformly conservative party.

The Mayor Recall: How Very Akron of Us
While the quixotic effort to recall Mayor Plusquellec appeared stillborn, a little more ink got spilled this week. Bob Dyer wrote an anti column infused with Dyer's usual ironclad grip on the obvious. Also Boring weighed in tonight.
The campaign itself is unlikely to amount to much. In the first place, mounting a signature campaign at the start of Ohio's winter is pretty much a guaranteed movement killer. And the whole thing seems inspired as much as anything by spokesman Warner Mendenhall's panic at the prospect of a week going by without his name appearing in the paper.
Nonetheless, the rhetoric from those in favor of the recall is so very Akron, it bears mentioning. You can get a sample on the group's website -- a link appears in this ANN piece. (It's a source of great amusement that you can't find the site by Googling "recall Mayor Plusquellec" or anything similar, and I don't want to spoil the effect.) Also, check out comments in the various stories. The debt is out of control! Crime is going up! The Mayor is a big meanie!
Once again, residents of the most successful big city in Ohio can't see what's going right. Not everything of course -- this is Ohio after all. But go out of town and tell people you are from Akron and those in the know will talk about Akron as a model for moving beyond rust belt economics.
In many ways Akron's political culture* is the dead opposite of our big neighbor to the north. Clevelanders have a charming credulity about their future, believing that one more big development project will finally be the thing that turns the city around. In Akron, no matter how many successes the city has, people are convinced that doom is impending. The recall campaign is just the latest manifestation of Akron's fatalism.

The series of posts on the legal road to Guantanomo has been postponed. I realized that it will cover material on the final and not all my students in the current class know of the blog. Happily, I realized this before hitting "Publish."
Meanwhile I've hit yet another snag in my effort to get back to the blog. Just a bunch more stuff needed getting done.
Also I hurt my back over the weekend, but I'm better now. You wouldn't think back troubles interfere with blogging, but they do.

The Legal Road to Guantanamo: An Introduction
With President-Elect Obama promising to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, we are on the verge of a national conversation on the matter. As my humble contribution in my humble corner of the internets, I will offer a brief history of the legal precedents that led up to the current morass. Beginning in the Civil War era, a series of Supreme Court decisions -- some franky sloppily decided -- helped get us where we are. And since my students are studying them, the work here does double duty.
A few caveats are in order. First off, there are plenty of actual experts out there who study this stuff full time. I'm not that guy. As such, I'll offer some basic outlines of the history, but don't expect the final word. Also, I'll be focusing on the legal side, but we all know some opinionating will sneak in. And of course if I actually finish this series, it may be my first.
All that said, we'll get started in the morning.

Wading Back In
So here we are again. Once again a long, unannounced hiatus with a similarly unannounced return. Will it be different this time? I honestly don't know.
By now you all have heard the tale. My myriad responsibilities as university instructor, part-time writer and full-time Dad, along with some long term volunteer projects, does tend to get in the way of blogging these days. And at the same time, I fell out of love with blog world some time ago and haven't yet fallen back in.
During this latest stint in the basement, Jeff Coryell and Redhorse both called it quits. I knew it would happen, but still it saddens me. And leaves me with a much less friendly blogosphere to return to.
Yet return I shall.
I will say that with the election now over, this blog may again find its footing. The Pages has always been more about policy than politics and lets face it, politics tends to be an enemy of real policy discussion. Now that a new administration is taking shape nationally and the Strickland administration finds itself bailing frantically as the state takes on water, there's a lot to talk about. I'm particularly interested in what Strickland will try to do on school funding, the burgeoning debate over what to do with Guantanomo, the continuing disintegration of the news media and much more.
Later. For tonight I'm easing myself into all this. My goal is to write something at least once a day, but this is it for the day.
See you after class tomorrow.

We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the model using (micro) survey data and (macro) administrative data from France. The distribution of the inflow composition is estimated along with the other parameters. The estimation method deals with differences between the micro and macro unemployment definitions. The results also show to what extent the unemployment duration distributions corresponding to the two definitions can be described by the same model.

Students from China, India and Nepal surge at Australian universities despite jobs squeeze
By gms March 11, 2018 Latest Topics

Chinese and Indian students have not been deterred by negative media coverage or reports of racist attacks, and are flocking to Australian universities in record numbers.
New statistics show amost 190,000 foreigners applied to study in Australia between July and December, an increase of 14.1 per cent on the same period in 2016, with Indian applicants surging by 32 per cent and Chinese applicants by 13 per cent. Nepal overtook Brazil as the third-largest source of applicants, rising by 46 per cent to nearly 12,000 prospective students.
More than 90 per cent of applicants were granted student visas, with 41,000 – a quarter of all student visas issued in the quarter – going to Chinese nationals. A further 20,000 were Indian nationals. The grant rate for Chinese applicants steadily declined over the course of 2017 from 98.3 per cent to 93.8 per cent.
In total, the number of student visas granted rose by 7 per cent.
International students pay huge fees to study in Australia and have become an enormous source of income for universities, particularly the Group of Eight, to the extent that education has become the country's third-biggest export market.
Critics have raised concerns at the level of Chinese influence in Australian universities, with students sometimes objecting to course material covering China and its government. Such matters, as well as physical attacks on Chinese students, have received prominent coverage in local and overseas Chinese media. Last month Beijing issued a safety warning for Chinese students in Australia and provided phone numbers in case of emergency.
But the figures released this week by the Department of Home Affairs show Chinese interest in an Australian higher education has only continued to grow. The 12.9 per cent increase in applications from Chinese nationals was far higher in July-December 2017 than the same period in 2016 (6.7 per cent) and 2015 (5.6 per cent).
Over the past 10 years, Nepal has grown exponentially as a source of international students, initially spurred by the decade-long Maoist insurgency and subsequent word of mouth. Nepalese media have identified Sydney's Victoria University and Western Sydney University as major destinations for Nepalese students, and Auburn has become Sydney's hub for Nepalese-speakers.
However, the figures released by the government this week also show signs of a jobs squeeze for international students after graduation. The number of graduates moving straight into skilled work has crashed following the Turnbull government's changes to the temporary 457 visa, which will be abolished and replaced this month.
Just 3000 graduates transitioned to a 457, a decline of 50 per cent on the same period in 2016, while the number who moved on to a 189 or 190 skilled visa also fell. Instead, there was a 30 per cent increase in students moving on to a 485 "temporary graduate" visa, which allows them to work in Australia but is not a guarantee of skilled labour. There was also an 11.5 per cent rise in the number of graduates who moved on to a tourist visa.
Er-Kai Wang, associate lecturer in migration at the Australian National University, said the 485 visa still offered a "window of opportunity" for permanent residency, but it was easier on the 457. "That was a pathway for a lot of people to get into permanent residency – which was probably one of the things that the government was a bit suspicious about," she said.
Last year the Turnbull government slashed the number of occupations eligible for the 457 visa, which this month will be replaced by the similar but stricter temporary Skills Shortage visa.
Of those graduates who were on the increasingly-popular 485 temporary graduate visa, about 6000 transitioned to a skilled migrant visa – a decline of 13.7 per cent on the same period in 2016.
Despite the lure of an Australian job and pathway to permanent residency, Ms Wang noted a large number of foreign students who study in Australia "are wanting to study and then go home".

Thank you for your fantastic blog! I have a question: do you know any place that might still sell the Feida Rothman necklace that you showed in your last lookbook? I've looked onlne at several sites and have had no luck. Any ideas?
I discovered your youtube channel a few weeks ago and I just had to say what an inspiring and beautiful woman you are. Thank you for sharing tips that are healthy and good for us. You have officially inspired a thirty year old woman from Norway to a healthier lifestyle. Just put away years of a sunbed tanning routine, and ordered a sunscreen for daily use. Thank you!
You always look lovely, but your style aesthetic is consistently different from mine. You are considerably slimmer than I am in the lower half, so all those skinny pants have a different look on you. Also, you seem keen on modern trends, for example those cold shoulder tops. Whereas I prefer fashions of the 1920s-1940s and also early 1980s. Also, I hate open toe shoes. I don't really like the look of toes or feet, so most of my shoes are a more covered look.
Great look-book – great presentation. Happy holidays!
I just bought the Kimono sweater. It's so cute and my favorite color!
I have it on today!! Love it too!
I love your lookbooks! Definitely inspirational and fun! Love your style, Angie! Thank you for putting it together.

Somebody Help This Man!

I wrote a note to Chick-Fil-A today telling them how much they disgust me. Not their sandwiches, unfortunately I kinda like those, it's really too bad I will never have another one. The actions of the corporation, however, merit the anger of every thinking person in the creative business world (and beyond). This is why:
"Vermont's Eat More Kale is a small, eco-friendly t-shirt business with a mission to promote sustainable food messages. The company's sole proprietor, Bo Muller-Moore, has used the EAT MORE KALE logo in his t-shirt designs for more than 10 years, and he recently applied for a federal trademark on his business name. A federal trademark would block other artists from copying his design (which has happened in the past) and protect the livelihood he's worked so hard to build.
But if Chick-fil-A, a giant multi-million dollar fast food corporation has it's way, Muller-Moore won't be allowed to protect his business. The Corporate Goliath has threatened to block EAT MORE KALE's trademark attempt and shut the business down. Chick-fil-A uses the slogan "Eat Mor Chikin,"and it alleges that EAT MORE KALE confuses CHICK-fil-A customers and dilutes its multi-million dollar industry."
The above is quoted from a petition drive at change.org intended to help stop this case of arrogant bullying. Yes, you have to protect your trademarks, but do the lawyers at Chick-fil-A seriously believe the general public is so stupid that we just can't tell the difference between "Eat Mor Chikin"and "Eat More Kale"? And that we will forget to buy their sandwiches because we are so confused by the Chikin – Kale conundrum? (Really, no need to answer that…)
Bo Muller-Moore seems like a really nice guy who cares about his fellow man and the world around him, and he certainly doesn't deserve to be steamrollered by a bunch of out-of-control corporate lawyers. This is so out of whack that even the State of Vermont has joined the fight to help him out. You can check out his website here, and sign the petition here. You can also go to the Chick-fil-A website and drop them a note from there, which I did this morning. Do those things, and then buy one of Bo's shirts too because it just feels right.
Oh – and eat more kale, it's good for you.

Kamp Conrad nabij Rouveen (Nederlandse provincie Overijssel) bij het Conradkanaal was een werkkamp dat aanvankelijk bedoeld was om werkloze mannen in de ruilverkaveling aan het werk te zetten.

Werkverschaffing
In 1929 werden aan de westzijde van het Conradkanaal twee barakken gebouwd in het kader van de werkverschaffing. Nadat het kamp in 1939 onder de Rijksdienst voor de Werkverruiming was komen te vallen, werden de barakken in 1940 naar de oostzijde van het kanaal verplaatst. Van 1929 tot en met april 1942 hebben werklozen die bij de ruilverkaveling werden ingezet onderdak in dit kamp gevonden. Het kamp werd geleid door een kok/beheerder. Deze kreeg assistentie van een kok en een huishoudelijke hulp.

Indeling kamp
De vroegere locatie van het kamp is nu gelegen bij de Klaas Kloosterweg West. Het kamp bestond uit vier woonbarakken, elk met acht kamers met zes slaapplaatsen, een barak met daarin de beheerderswoning, kantoor en keuken. Verder een kantine, enkele toiletten, een magazijn en waslokalen. In totaal konden er dus 192 werklozen in het kamp verblijven.

Joodse periode
Vanaf 25 april 1942 gebruikte de Duitse bezetter het kamp als tijdelijke buffer voor Westerbork en moesten de werklozen plaats maken voor Joodse mannen. Joden, voornamelijk uit Amsterdam, maar ook uit Staphorst en Meppel, werden verplicht tewerkgesteld en zo gelijktijdig geïsoleerd van hun familie. In kamp De Conrad hebben in totaal 340 Joodse mannen gewoond. Zij moesten bij Staphorst een weg, de Afschuttingsweg en een ernaast gelegen sloot, aanleggen. Deze weg wordt nu in de omgeving nog de Jodenweg genoemd en de sloot de Jodensloot. Op 3 oktober 1942 (Jom Kipoer) werden de mannen gedeporteerd naar Westerbork. Van daaruit werden zij naar Oost-Europese vernietigingskampen gestuurd. Slechts vier van hen hebben de oorlog overleefd.

Latere oorlogsperiode
Na oktober 1942 kreeg kamp Conrad verschillende bestemmingen. Eerst kwamen er werklozen uit Rotterdam te wonen. Later evacués uit Zierikzee. Doortrekkende Duitse soldaten hebben het kamp een poos als kazerne gebruikt. In het laatste oorlogsjaar verbleven er evacués uit de kustprovincies, die moesten wijken voor de activiteiten rond de Atlantikwall.

Na de oorlog
Na de oorlog werd het kamp gebruikt als interneringskamp voor NSB'ers. Vervolgens werd er een landbouwschool in gevestigd. Tot slot hebben er in de jaren 1952 - 1960, 180 uit Indonesië op dienstbevel geëvacueerde Molukse KNIL-militairen met hun gezinnen gewoond. Ook is een van de barakken langere tijd gebruikt als kerk. In 2007 is de laatste barak van kamp Conrad afgebroken.

Herinnering
Begin 2011 werd er aan de Lommertstraat in Staphorst een vermeende vroegere barak van het kamp aangetroffen.
Eind augustus 2011 bleek de eerder ontdekte barak een directiekeet te zijn die is gebruikt door een aannemer bij de aanleg van de A28.
Op 24 september 2011 is op de locatie van het voormalige kamp een door de Terwoldse kunstenaar Ruud Schilder vervaardigde vier meter hoge gedenksteen voor de Molukkers onthuld.
Bij die gelegenheid is de door Geertjan Lassche gemaakte documentaire Vreemdelingen en Bijwoners voor het eerst voor publiek vertoond in Rouveen. De film maakte veel herinneringen los in Rouveen. De maker van de documentaire werd in 2011 beloond met De Tegel. (Nederlandse prijs voor journalistiek)

Wikileaks: World Food Program told Kofi Annan of UN Hunger Expert's "Profoundly Immoral" Actions "Harming Lives of the Hungry"

NGO urges Ban Ki-moon, Navi Pillay and Olivier de Schutter to speak out
GENEVA, October 24 — A Wikileaks cable circulated for the first time today reveals that Kofi Annan was in possession of an urgent World Food Program request to remove a UN Human Rights Council's expert on hunger because he was playing "profoundly immoral" and "inflammatory" politics that "had a negative impact on the lives of the hungry." See detailed letter to Ban Ki-moon below. Click here for PDF.
The Geneva-based monitoring group UN Watch today urged Ban Ki-moon and UN rights chief Navi Pillay to call on Jean Ziegler, the former UNHRC special rapporteur on the right to food, to resign from his continuing council mandates on hunger. As a member of the UNHRC Advisory Committee, Ziegler has participated on right to food drafting groups, and has been mandated to work on related reports, background papers and studies for the council.
Earlier this year, Swiss TV reported that Ziegler covered up his role as founder of the "Muammar Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights," and 45 NGOs called on him to resign.
UN Watch director Hillel Neuer also called on Olivier de Schutter, the council's current special rapporteur, who reports today to the General Assembly, to repudiate Ziegler's "politicized path." Mr. de Schutter, who has expressed admiration for Ziegler, this year praised Syria's Assad regime in a major report, often attacks the West and Israel, and has refused to explain why he is planning a country visit next May to food-secure Canada, instead of spotlighting food emergency countries like Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan.
In 2008, Mr. de Schutter was appointed a "Special Senior Advisor" to UN General Assembly President Miguel d'Escoto Brockman, a former Sandinista politician who often embraces Iran's Ahmadinejad and other anti-Western tyrants. Other appointees included Richard Falk, supporter of the 9/11 conspiracy theory; Ramsey Clark, who has defended Slobodan Milosevic, Saddam Hussein and Rwandan torturers; and Noam Chomsky, the anti-American guru.
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
We write concerning the alarming revelation by Wikileaks that the World Food Program had sent urgent letters to your predecessor warning that Jean Ziegler, a UN Human Rights Council official tasked with combating hunger, has engaged in "profoundly immoral" actions and "inflammatory" politics that endanger the lives of millions of starving people worldwide.
We urge you to (a) commission an international and independent inquiry to determine who in the United Nations knew about this detailed warning, and why no remedial actions were taken to remove Mr. Ziegler, and prevent him from further harming the lives of hungry people; (b) demand that Mr. Ziegler immediately resign from all of his UNHRC responsibilities, especially those relating to hunger; and (c) take steps to ensure that Mr. Ziegler's successor, Olivier de Schutter, refrains from following a similar path.
We enclose here one of the letters, dated 24 October 2002, from World Food Program Executive Director James T. Morris to Secretary-General Kofi Annan. An earlier letter to Mr. Annan by his predecessor, WFP Executive Director Catherine Bertini, is referenced therein but has not yet been made public.
The enclosed WFP letter makes the most severe accusations against Jean Ziegler, who was the UN Human Right Council Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food for the period 2000-2008. Mr. Ziegler continues to serve the UN Human Rights Council as a member of its Advisory Committee and to perform mandates for it concerning the right to food.
As you know, the World Food Program is the food aid arm of the United Nations system, the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, feeding more than 90 million people in more than 70 countries.
In the enclosed letter, the World Food Program—the genuine expert on hunger—accuses Mr. Ziegler of making it "harder rather than easier for WFP to help hungry people fulfill their right to food in emergencies." Mr. Ziegler, says the WFP, is "playing politics with aid," and his actions and statements are "profoundly immoral" and "unconscionable."
According to the World Food Program, the "clearly inflammatory politics played by Mr. Ziegler has had a negative impact on the lives of the hungry." Moreover, Mr. Ziegler's "public statements and the reports he has submitted to the General Assembly show a serious lack of understanding of economics and the details of the food situation in the areas he professes to analyze on behalf of the High Commissioner."
The Wikileaks cable also reveals that the late UN rights chief Sergio de Mello, in a meeting with WFP Acting Deputy Executive Director Jean Jacques Graisse, reportedly expressed "considerable exasperation with Ziegler," saying that "the man had taken up half of [de Mello's] time since entering office.
In 2004, UN Watch published detailed reports on Mr. Ziegler's record which corroborated the World Food Program's disturbing findings, including our report "Blind to Burundi: Jean Ziegler's Neglect of the World's Food Emergencies." We also documented Mr. Ziegler's propaganda on behalf of the Gaddafi regime, including his key role in founding, managing and receiving the "Muammar Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights." Tragically, even as the UN was in possession of WFP's expert substantiation of this information, the world body ignored our appeals for action. Millions of hungry people have suffered as a result.
In light of the above, we respectfully urge you (a) to create an international and independent commission of inquiry to determine who in the United Nations knew about this detailed warning, and why no remedial actions were taken to remove Mr. Ziegler and prevent him from further harming the lives of hungry people; and (b) to call on Mr. Ziegler to resign from all of his ongoing UNHRC responsibilities, especially those relating to hunger.
In addition, we are concerned about actions by Mr. Ziegler's successor, Mr. Olivier de Schutter, which seem to follow at least some of the same politicized agenda and misplaced priorities. For example, Mr. de Schutter is planning to conduct a special country visit to Canada in May 2012. However, he has refused to answer questions by UN Watch as to why a UN champion for starving people should be wasting precious time and resources visiting Canada, instead of spotlighting countries that do have food emergencies, such as Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
Like Mr. Ziegler, who was often confused by media agencies with being the UNHRC expert on Palestine, Mr. de Schutter has repeatedly misused his mandate on hunger to make one-sided and political attacks on Israel that lack a genuine nexus to his mandate. For example, on July 7 of this year, Mr. de Schutter went so far as to issue a pre-emptive attack on one of your own statements, in a press release marked "Urgent" and entitled "UN Special Rapporteur opposes Ban Ki-Moon's conclusions on flotilla." It is rare for a UN rapporteur to attack a statement by the UN Secretary-General, and unprecedented to do so by anticipatory action.
Mr. de Schutter's recent report on Syria, while mentioning several problems there, raises serious questions about his approach. The report takes pains to repeatedly praise and "commend" the Assad regime. "The Special Rapporteur commends the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic for its cooperation during the mission"; "The Special Rapporteur commends the efforts made to support agri-food economic activities with added value (for example, cheese-making)"; and the Special Rapporteur "applauded the efforts of the Government of Syria in seeking to provide food security to its population."
Instead, Mr. de Schutter reserves his harshest language to attack the international community for its "unacceptably poor" response to Syrian drought, and to attack Israel for controlling the Golan Heights, which de Schutter inexplicably categorized as one of Syria's three "huge challenges" regarding hunger.
Accordingly, we urge you to take steps to ensure that Mr. de Schutter refrains from following the same path as his predecessor.
There are millions of hungry people worldwide. They need the UN's urgent help, not inflammatory politics. Thank you for your consideration.

For a project that exists both in Amazon Web Services EC2 US-EAST-1b and another cloud, I wanted to block network traffic between the two to ensure they didn't affect each other. I started by doing an whois looking via ARIN for all of the IP addresses we are currently assigned in EC2, and I ultimately got the same list that I found registered to the AMAZO-4 contact with ARIN, with the exception of AMAZON-AES, which I presume is for Amazon Enterprise Solutions. I couldn't tell you offhand if the same IP blocks are used in other AWS zones.

Thanks guys. It's interesting that in the forum post they include the AES block for US-EAST. Parts of the networks I listed above are subnetted out to regions other than US-EAST, so it is inclusive, but there are a couple networks specifically assigned to other regions.

Media Paint Chip And Joanna Gaines As Racists For Donating To Relative's Campaign Opposing Critical Race Theory
By Amanda Prestigiacomo

The media on Tuesday night worked to paint "Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines, an interracial couple, as racists for donating $1,000 to Chip's sister's local school board campaign, which aims in part to stop highly controversial critical race theory from being taught in schools.
Countless media headlines bypassed that Shannon Braun, the woman to whom the couple donated, is Chip's own sister. Many also framed critical race theory as nothing more than teaching students about "racism," which it's not.
"TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines donate to campaign against critical race theory in schools," a headline from The Hill read.
Reposted on Yahoo! News, Insider ran with the headline: "Chip and Joanna Gaines reportedly donated $1,000 to a Texas school board candidate trying to ban teaching about systemic racism."
Numerous others outlets were on board with the same message: Chip and Joanna bad; Chip and Joanna racists.
They gave $1000 to Chip's sister who is running for local school board.
And this is the headline… https://t.co/8igS5PYlie
— Cabot Phillips (@cabot_phillips) May 25, 2021
Braun, who's campaigning for the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD) School Board, has called critical race theory "the single most divisive threat" in education, according to The Dallas Morning News.
"I will vote down anything and everything that further promotes critical race theory in our school district and actively work to remove all critical race theory," Braun has promised parents.
The mother's position is in fact not radical, at all, but a push-back against new "woke" measures from radical leftists.
As highlighted by James Lindsay, the founder of New Discourses and a leading expert on critical race theory, the divisive ideology dangerously separates people into groups of the "oppressed" and the "exploiters." The Daily Wire reported:
Lindsay begins by noting that, in the teachings of Critical Race Theory, skin color is the most important part of you. If you belong to a racially "minoritized" group, then you're oppressed; if you belong to a racially "privileged group," you're an exploiter.
"Critical Race Theory begins from the assumption that racism occurs in all interactions," notes Lindsay. … Because Critical Race Theory teaches that racism is present in every interaction, proponents of the ideology are forced to interpret every interaction "critically" — in such a way that identifies the racism. And Critical Race Theory will always find the racism it seeks, says Lindsay, "even if it has to read your mind to do it."
"Critical Race Theory, therefore, is not a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement," Lindsay emphasized. "It is in fact a repudiation of it. To Critical Race Theorists, Martin Luther King was both wrong and naïve. White Americans can never judge blacks by the content of their character. They can only judge them, always unfavorably — consciously or unconsciously — by the color of their skin."
This is not the first time the media have taken aim at Chip and Joanna, who openly hold Christian views. The pair have been smeared in the media for alleged "homophobia" because they did not feature a gay couple on their highly popular "Fixer Upper" show.

Interleukin-6 receptor inhibition with tocilizumab reduces disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis with inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs: the tocilizumab in combination with traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy study
Arthritis Rheum. 2008 Oct;58(10):2968-80. doi: 10.1002/art.23940.

DOI: 10.1002/art.23940
Objective: To examine the efficacy and safety of the humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody tocilizumab combined with conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: A total of 1,220 patients were randomized (2:1 ratio) in the phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter TOWARD (Tocilizumab in Combination With Traditional DMARD Therapy) study. Patients remained on stable doses of DMARDs and received tocilizumab 8 mg/kg or placebo (control group) every 4 weeks for 24 weeks.
Results: At week 24, the proportion of patients achieving a response according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria for 20% improvement (ACR20) was significantly greater in the tocilizumab plus DMARD group than in the control group (61% versus 25%; P<0.0001). Secondary end points including 50% or 70% improvement (ACR50/70), the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), DAS28 remission responses (DAS28<2.6), European League Against Rheumatism responses, and systemic markers such as the C-reactive protein and hemoglobin levels showed superiority of tocilizumab plus DMARDs over DMARDs alone. Seventy-three percent of patients in the tocilizumab group had >or=1 adverse event (AE), compared with 61% of patients in the control group. AEs leading to withdrawal from the study were infrequent (4% of patients in the tocilizumab group and 2% of those in the control group). Serious AEs occurred in 6.7% and 4.3% of patients in the tocilizumab and control groups, respectively, and serious infections occurred in 2.7% and 1.9%, respectively. Elevations in the alanine aminotransferase level, from normal at baseline to >3-fold the upper limit of normal, occurred in 4% of patients in the tocilizumab group and 1% of those in the control group, and elevated total cholesterol levels were observed in 23% and 6% of patients, respectively. Sixteen patients started lipid-lowering therapy during the study. Grade 3 neutropenia occurred in 3.7% of patients receiving tocilizumab and none of the patients in the control group, and no grade 4 neutropenia was reported.
Conclusion: Tocilizumab combined with any of the DMARDs evaluated was safe and effective in reducing articular and systemic symptoms in patients with an inadequate response to these agents.

Boksning under Sommer-OL 1968 i Mexico City blev afviklet fra den 13. til den 26. oktober 1968 på Arena Mexico.

Med 315 boksere fra 65 nationer overgik bokseturneringen alle tidligere OL-rekorder. Der var en udvidelse af vægtklasserne, idet der for første gang blev konkurreret i let-fluevægt, og der var således 11 vægtklasser på programmet.

Bedste nationer blev Sovjetunionen (3 guld, 2 sølv og 1 bronze), USA (2 guld, 1 sølv og 4 bronze) og Mexico (2 guld og 2 bronze). Værtsnationen Mexico havde stor succes i bokseturneringen, da 4 ud af Mexicos 9 medaljer ved OL 1968 blev vundet i bokseturneringen.

Cuba vandt for første gang medaljer ved den olympiske bokseturnering, da Cuba opnåede to sølvmedaljer.

De to tysklande (Vesttyskland og DDR), der i 1964 havde stillet med et fælles hold i Tokyo stillede nu med hvert sit hold.

Val Barker trofæet blev givet til fjervægteren Philip Waruinge fra Kenya. Det var første gang siden OL i 1936 og blot anden gang i Val Barker trofæets historie, at trofæet ikke blev givet til en guldmedaljevinder. Waruinge opnåede alene bronze i turneringen, da han tabte sin semifinale med dommerstemmerne 3-2 til mexikaneren Antonio Roldán. Sværvægtsklassen blev vundet af den senere professionelle verdensmester i sværvægt George Foreman.

Danske deltagere
Fra Danmark deltog alene 2 boksere, der dog ikke opnåede medaljer.
 Jørgen Hansen (weltervægt) sad over i turneringens første runde, men blev i sin første kamp stoppet på rsc af rumæneren Victor Zilberman i kampens 3. omgang.
 Christian Larsen (letmellemvægt) vandt sin første kamp i turneringens første runde mod franskmanden Albert Menduni med dommerstemmerne 5-0. Christian Larsen tabte næste kamp mod David Jackson med dommerstemmerne 3-2. To af dommerne scorede kampen lige (59-59), men begge disse dommere gav sejren til Jackson.

Mellemvægt (75 kg)

Englænderen Chris Finnegan havde ikke vundet de britiske mesterskaber i 1968, og var følgelig sat af det engelske OL-hold. Det lykkedes dog Finnegans træner at overtale det britiske bokseforbund ABA til at arrangere en udtagelseskamp om OL-biletten. Det lykkedes Finnegan at vinde udtagelseskampen og derved sikre sig en plads på det britiske OL-hold. Finnegan besejrede på vej mod finalen jugoslaven Mate Parlov, der siden blev professionel verdensmester (WBC) i letsværvægt. Finnegan vandt OL-finalen over Kisseljow fra USSR, der fire år tidligere i Tokyo havde vundet OL-sølv i letsværvægt. Efter OL blev Finnegan professionel, hvor han bl.a. tabte til Tom Bogs i en EM-kamp. Finnegan vandt dog senere EM samt de britiske og Imperiale mesterskaber, ligesom han boksede om VM.
