Rev. Stephen Sizer speaks at antisemitic conference in Iran
By Guest/Cross Post on October 8, 2014 • ( 12 Comments )
Cross posted from the blog of The CST
The Rev Stephen Sizer is a Church of England vicar with a long record of anti-Israel activity. In 2012 the Board of Deputies made a formal complaint to the Church of England about allegations that Sizer had used his website to link to antisemitic material from other websites. This complaint was resolved through mediation and a Conciliation Agreement was accepted by both parties, which included Sizer accepting that "on occasions his use of language has caused offence to some and agrees that he should have reflected on his choice of words more carefully." Sizer also stated:
I care passionately about the safety of the Jewish people and the right of Israel to exist within internationally agreed borders. I have always opposed racism, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial as well as Islamophobia and the denial of the Palestinian right to self-determination and will continue to do so.
Sizer's presence at an antisemitic conference in Iran this week brings into question whether he is honouring the spirit of this Conciliation Agreement in good faith.
The conference is the Second New Horizon Conference in Tehran. According to Iranian state-run Press TV, the conference intended to "unveil the secrets behind the dominance of the Zionist lobby over US and EU politics." Those attending include a host of Holocaust Deniers and conspiracy theorists.
For an example of why this is an antisemitic conference, one of the conference sessions is on "Mossad's Role in the 9/11 Coup d'Etat". This includes discussion of "9/11 and the Holocaust as pro-Zionist "Public Myths"":
Sizer was scheduled to speak at several points during the conference. One of these was a panel on "The Mechanisms of Action of the Israeli Lobby and their Effects in Western Capitals", with Sizer speaking on "The Israeli Lobby in England". One of the other speakers scheduled for this panel was Ahmed Rami, a Swedish Islamist with a history of support for Holocaust Deniers and Nazis.
Rami has a conviction for antisemitism in Sweden and his Radio Islam website includes the full text of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, plus extensive Holocaust Denial material. It is impossible to miss the antisemitism on the Radio Islam website: the first four articles listed on the homepage are "The Jewish hand behind Internet"; "Judaism – Jewish "religion" and racism"; "The Jews behind Islamophobia"; and "Al Jazeera English – under Jewish infiltration."
Another UK-based speaker at the Tehran conference was the former US marine Ken O'Keefe, who now inhabits the wilder fringes of pro-Palestinian activism. In July, O'Keefe gave an interview to an online radio show hosted by American antisemite and former Klansman David Duke. In August he spoke at a London meeting of the far right Iona Forum. Typical of his speech on that occasion was this extract:
What we have right now is a world where, because we have a tiny minority running the financial system, primarily Jew in the banking sector. But of course we've got Jews in the media, I mean come on, they own Hollywood, they own all the major cooperate media institutions, with rare exception, they're have totally infiltrated the US government.
CST Blog has written several times before about the endemic antisemitism in the Iranian government, media and wider public debate. It is inevitable that an Iranian conference on "the Zionist lobby" would feature antisemites, Holocaust Deniers and conspiracy theorists. The fact that it also featured a Church of England vicar is utterly shameful.

Good Jew urgently needed for Liberal Democrat conference in Glasgow.
Now Liberal Democrat MP Menzies Campbell blames rise of Islamic State on Israel.
Indigo says:
Well, there you go- they got their perfect Jew for the Liberal Democrat conference in Glasgow…
Stephen Sizer is the rev of the folks from Sky news and the Guardian. What a disgraceful church and people!!!
Ross Kardon says:
Vanessa Redgrave, famous for supporting Arab "palestinian" terrorists, also claims she is opposed to anti-semitism and often plays the part of Jewish women in stage productions.
zaccaerdydd says:
Said Sizer
"Those who criticise this kind of conference must think very carefully of the consequences of their words for Jews and Christians in countries like Iran."
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/11144774/Church-of-England-vicar-denies-backing-anti-Semitic-hate-fest-in-Iran.html
So criticizing antisemitism at such a conference (well documented) constitutes threatening Iranian Christians or Jews? How, unless the Iranian government chooses to penalize Iranian Christians or Jews for highlighting such antisemitism? Is Sizer suggesting conniving at Iranian governmental and other antisemitism? How is that supposed to be Christian, unless his Christianity is supposed to be antisemitic?
Sizer's apologetics for attending:
"One of the contributors, Eric Walberg wrote, "Contrary to the shrill cries in the western media that the conference was anti-Semitic, it was unique in my experience in addressing Zionism and US imperialism forthrightly and intelligently, without a hint of racism. The issue of anti-Semitism was addressed and dismissed, as "There is no issue with Jewish people or the Jewish religion," explained Darya-Bandari, "but rather with Zionism, that secular distortion of Judaism that itself is racist, and has been used as a pretext to dispossess and kill Palestinians."
"I was invited to contribute to the opening ceremony and present a biblical perspective on Jihad and in particular, a Christian refutation of the Islamic State (IS). Later in the conference I was asked to present a paper on the impact of the Israel Lobby in the UK, especially in parliament and in the media, ahead of the publication of my new book on the subject.
http://www.stephensizer.com/2014/10/ambassadors-needed/
Yes, of course. Sizer decries U.S. imperialism at a conference held in a country with imperialist ambitions. In fact, the very conference he attended is an example of such a program, aside from it being indisputably anti-Semitic. Is Sizer a useful idiot or team player?
Mr. Sizer, you are not a competent judge of world politics. Stick to teaching Christianity. (Perhaps a remedial course is in order.)
A flavour of the views of Eric Walberg, whose expertise on antisemitism Sizer evidently defers to.
A survey of Walberg's writings show that he regards Jews as having been the authors of their own misfortunes over the past 2,000 years, and all the great wars of the past century can be laid at the feet of shadowy Zionists – even the "still mysterious collapse" of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11. He has written approvingly of the contents of the Protocols of The Elders of Zion – that classic text of pathological Jew-hatred.
http://transmontanus.blogspot.co.uk/2007/04/socialism-of-fools-reports-from-front.html
Good write up. Sizer is a classic character. And he calls the churches bluff.
O'Keefe is a Grade A nutter. With a tear tattoo like some latino central valley hoodlum.
Here he is staring in his own video.
He shows his true face to the camera man.
BBC Hardtalk also kindly gave O'Keefe a world stage ( I am shocked! SHOCKED ). I am surprised people like that don't end up on EU No Fly Lists.
If you watch O'Keefe on video he is a huge narcissist. Like Blumenthal, Dana, Abunimah, Salaita, Assange. They are all narcissists. And their stage is their anti-zionism / antisemitism.
Code Pink
http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/10/02/anti-semites-gather-in-iran-for-regime-sponsored-hate-fest/
Also present are Medea Benjamin of the left-wing American organization CodePink, which supports the elimination of the State of Israel, …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Pink
May 11, 2010: Code Pink attempted to arrest Karl Rove at a book signing
A group of Code Pink protesters attempted to enter a performing arts center to try and arrest former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for war crimes while she was attending an event in conjunction with the RNC.
Same like the notorious Monbiot, mentioned in a recent article on Cifwatch.
Code Pink organizes annual rallies on Mothers Day and St. Valentine's Day. On Mother's Day 2006, Code Pink organized a 24-hour gathering in Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, which was attended and supported by Cindy Sheehan, Susan Sarandon and Patch Adams.[39]
During the Gaza Freedom March, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin coordinated the organization's stay with the Hamas government. Members resided in the Commodore, a Hamas-owned hotel in Gaza City. Hamas security officials accompanied activists as they visited Palestinian homes and Gaza-based NGOs.[55] Prior to the march, Benjamin said the Hamas government had "pledged to ensure our safety."[56]
March 2011: Code Pink members demonstrate outside of the FBI headquarters in support of suspected Wikileaks leaker Bradley Manning.[29]
Conservative talk-show host Tucker Carlson criticized Pink leader Medea Benjamin for her support of Hugo Chávez. She was quoted as saying that the charge in sections of the US media that Chavez had cracked down on free speech and civil rights in Venezuela was a myth.[48]
https://www.opendemocracy.net/5050/meredith-tax/code-pink-taliban-and-malala-yousafzai
In their post-Tank press release of October 10th, Medea Benjamin and Robert Naiman say the peace delegation showed Pakistan that not all Americans are bad guys:
"To the cheers of a teeming group of Pakistanis, we walked on stage holding anti-drone signs and pictures of children who have been killed in drone attacks, and delivered an apology for the death of innocent people. 'We want you to know that these Americans you see here have been fighting for years against this drone policy, and will continue to do so until we put an end into to these barbaric attacks. We want to live in peace and harmony with our brothers and sisters in this region,' we told the crowd. Their response brought tears to our eyes. 'You are welcome! We want peace!,' they chanted over and over, smiling, waving and cheering."
Is this solidarity or imperial narcissim?
Most Pakistanis are so outraged by the attempted murder of Malala Yousafzai that even Imran Khan had to condemn it, though it took him ten hours to do so and he didn't mention the Taliban. Code Pink's Washington office also did a hasty press release October 10th saying they prayed for Malala's recovery and offering $1000 to her school, while making "a connection between drone attacks and growing extremism in Pakistan" – as if there were no Taliban before there were drones.

From Imram Khan to Jemima Khan-Goldsmith, former supporter of Assange, and to Monbiot, closing the circle.

Corr.
Imran, that is.
January 20, 2005: Code Pink protesters attended President G. W. Bush's second inaugural address, unfurling banners and heckling the president during his speech.[12] The group reportedly received VIP passes from unidentified members of Congress, and were eventually escorted out of the area by police.[13]
On Mother's Day 2006, Code Pink organized a 24-hour gathering in Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, which was attended and supported by Cindy Sheehan, Susan Sarandon and Patch Adams.[39]
December 12, 2008: Code Pink announced its plans to invest in Iranian wind energy in hopes to defy sanctions and build peaceful relations with the government of Iran.[23]
May 23–24, 2011: Code Pink members disrupted Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu's speaking engagements, both at a policy convention and at the United States Congress. Code Pink member Rae Abileah was arrested and charged with disrupting Congress.[30]
Self evidently that Code Pink won the so called Peace award of the Aachenr peace initiative
http://www.aachener-friedenspreis.de/preistraeger/archiv/jahr-2014.html
This peace initiative has a record of honouring anti-Israelian initiatives, to put it diplomatically.
http://tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/186201/medea-benjamin-iran
On the way to a Women's conference in Aza, Benjamin was taken away by Egyptian security upon landing in Cairo. They threw her in a cell for a night. The next morning she had the genius to get stubborn with the Egyptian police and they ended up dislocating her shoulder before stuffing her on a plane to Istanbul.

Margaret has been wonderful in the time I needed help. As well as being a great counsellor, she felt like a friend I could to talk about anything. I felt listened to and she did not give a biased opinion on my situation. She rather assessed the situation from a non-biased point of view. I feel a lot more content with myself thanks to Margaret. I appreciate everything you have done for me.

I had gone through lots of changes that had put me in a very unfamiliar situation and she helped me regain my self-confidence, identify my anxiety and improve the relationship with my partner. She gave me the tools to deal with these issues, while making me feel supported, heard, and challenging my thoughts by asking the right questions.
I am very happy with the whole process and I wouldn't hesitate on contacting her if I ever need counseling again.

My therapist, Margaret Lorenz, has bettered my life in such a short amount of time. I have a long way to go but I would have been even more miserable without her. We mostly do video sessions which makes it feel like nothing less than an in-person session. She has made time for me on all major holidays and has fit me in at all my times of need even if it meant she had to step away from her personal life for a few minutes. That's real dedication and extremely considerate of her. I appreciate and respect her and can't thank her enough. She makes you feel comfortable to be yourself and helps you have a more positive outlook on things.

I reached out as I was having issues with my relationship with regard t trust and jealousy. By nature I am quite analytical and always overthinking.

With Margaret, I do not feel judged, but I feel challenged to question the sources of my anxieties and issues that I hold on to. She helped me unravel the notions behind my fears and worries, working with me to reach sound, healthy and confident responses to my issues and struggles. Through our conversations, I had a clearer sense that I can do something about my problems and can develop clear goals to stand against my problems and issues. She let me see that I am not bound with my past disappointments and setbacks which keeps me in doubting myself and others. I am working on building a stronger sense of self and I am happy with the help and guidance I have been receiving from working with her!

I totally loved working with Margaret. She's such a lovely human being, a wonderful counselor who had always put an effort in understanding my issues, yet the most important thing for me was that she has been so emotionally supportive. No matter how down I felt, after every message that Margaret sent to me, I just became more and more confident in my abilities, I rediscovered myself, and I discovered new tools that I could use for coping with possible emotional difficulties I might encounter in my life. Seriously, what would someone need more than a counselor who always finds and shows you the good parts of yourself, no matter how insignificant, useless and wrong you think you are in that moments? I can say that with Margaret's help I achieved my main goal -- to be kind to myself and happy with what I am and what I do. Thank you, Margaret, for all your kindness and for your endless patience. Your careful guidance really brought me on the right path.

>>How six Gladstone locals scored jobs this week
Earthmoving, building, landscaping, construction supervision, engineering, and equipment operations are some of the jobs up for grabs during the construction.
It's expected construction will bring an average of 190 jobs on the island each year over the 14-year project, totalling 3200 jobs.
Across the state, the project is expected to create a whopping 4700 jobs indirectly, with an average of 260 jobs each year and a peak of 510.
UPDATE: 7.22am:
PROJECTIONS reveal peak periods for a resort on Hummock Hill Island which is expected to rake in $95 million per annum for our local economy.
>>'Can't remember': Popular Gladstone tradie's stolen items uncovered
The resort, which will have two hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, a golf course, convention rooms, and homes for permanent residents, will reach its peak population at 3900 for a month-and-a-half over December and January before dropping to about 2000 for February and March.
Tourist will flock to the city again in peak numbers of 3900 at the beginning of April and July, and the second half of September.
A 233-page report detailing the plan states that, during construction, there wouldn't be workers' camps on the island.
Property developers, who expect the project to bring a boom during the 14-year construction, will use workers from the Gladstone region who will travel to the site from their home.
"It is anticipated that the project can be constructed utilising contractors and workers that already reside and operate in the Gladstone region," the report states.
"During the construction of the first stage of the project, that provides the primary infrastructure to the island the workforce will travel from within the local community to the site each day."
But over the 14-year construction, developers expect workers "may choose to buy or rent accommodation in the project".
Population projections show the island will reach about 3000 by 2025 and its peak of 3900 by 2030.
UPDATE: 11.50pm:
THE PACIFICUS Tourism Project will be constructed in stages with the first stage upgrading the infrastructure to allow workers and equipment to get to Hummock Hill Island.

The Bruce Hwy work would finish at the end of 2017, access road to the island mid-2018 and the bridge mid-2019.
Development would start on the recycled water treatment plant, waste water treatment plant, desalination plant and power supply mid-2018 and finish mid-2019 ending Stage One of the development.
By the end of 2019 the tourist park, camp ground and motel are expected to be completed.

The 240 room Headland Resort Hotel, Village Apartments, Headland Holiday Homes and Colosseum Village Apartments are expected to be completed by mid-2021.
The retail and commercial stage one won't be completed until the end of 2021.
The rest of the $950 million development is staggered with some projects expected to take about 11 years to complete and the entire project to take 15 years.
PROPERTY developers behind a $950 million resort on Hummock Hill Island resort have released detailed plans of the types of residential and accommodation properties they will place on the market.
The properties, revealed in a detailed 233-page report, are on high, low and medium density subdivisions, along with accommodation subdivides.
NEW PLANS: The property developers have adjusted there plans to meet Federal Government requirements.
In total, there are 770 residential homes and units, and 1925 accommodation dwellings.
Exclusive homes and apartments on a headland, beachfronts, a golf course, or with ocean views are either in low or medium density areas.
But two apartment complexes, both containing 120 two storey apartments, are on high density subdivisions.
The accommodation development will also cater for an array of markets from grey nomads to jet-setting celebrities, with properties on the beachfront, headland, golf course, bushland, a campground, a spa retreat, a motel, and others.
UPDATE 4.35pm:
A COMPLETED "Pacificus" will be a luxury tourism resort with the potential to hold the population of Calliope.
The resort would be nestled into the bush with a condition of the project that the buildings don't extend over the tree canopy, with 50% of the native trees kept on the site.
It will be able to home 1200 permanent residents and 2700 tourists.
These residents will be able to travel from their beachfront villas to a spa retreat, have lunch at a restaurant and move from one place to another in their golf buggies.
There will be squash courts, golf course, tennis courts, pools, airstrip, helipad, boat hire, cafes, gym, lawn bowls, Aboriginal cultural centre, marine centre, tackle shop and community markets.
Accommodation wise there will be 20 different options, from two five star hotels, to villas, homes, apartments and cottages.
HUMMOCK Hill Island Resort project manager John Kelly said the resort called Pacificus would be a boost in eco-tourism, jobs and business opportunities for the Gladstone region.
"Visitors to Pacificus will be able to experience a remarkable selection of recreational experiences," he said.
He said some of the activities would include Great Barrier Reef visits, estuary fishing, lazing on the beaches, water sports, golf, tennis, nature walks, educational and research programs, restaurants and entertainment.

Mr Kelly said there would be 700 full time positions created when the project is completed with a further 850 flow-on jobs in the region. "
"Rewarding permanent career opportunities will be available, particularly to younger people in the tourism and associated services sectors," he said.
"(These people) will no longer have to move away from the Gladstone region, with these quality jobs being available near their families and existing social networks."
He said there would be a strong demand for local employment during construction with more than 3200 new jobs.
"The development can be constructed entirely by local contractors and builders," he said.
"It will also be the first totally new major integrated resort developed on the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef Coast in nearly 30 years."
There will also be a designated marine research centre for ecological and environmental monitoring.
THE $950 million proposed Hummock Hill Island Resort, an hours drive south of Tannum Sands, is getting closer to a reality after 16 years of planning.
The developers, Eaton Place Pty Ltd, have released a new plan for the development to meet the conditions of the Department of State Development Infrastructure and Planning.
The developers now only need to seek the approval of the State Government and Gladstone Regional Council for the project to go ahead.
The proposed plans for the Hummock Hill Island Resort. Pacificus Tourism Project
The proposed changes show the project is still moving forward after receiving Federal Government approval in November.
In the proposed changes the golf course is moved, the master plan area has reduced in size and there will be more buffer areas to protect native vegetation.
The 233 page proposed changes to the project is an extensive document going into which flora and fauna is being protected and how the development will follow the guidelines for a Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
But the changes won't affect the impact the resort would have on the tourism industry in Gladstone, with a proposed 700 full time positions and a further 850 flow-on jobs in the region.

There will also be more than 3500 new jobs created during the construction period.
The proposed changes are open for public viewing and comment from today until October 10.

Abstract: If we are to facilitate service provision in next generation data centres then we need to tackle a number of challenges which lie at the heart of the automation problem for these data centres, including: scale, reliability, security, and service heterogeneity. In this position paper, we consider the requirements for a solution to these challenges which entail a shift in philosophy from imperative to declarative models for data centres. An important aspect of such a shift is the replacement of workflow as a mechanism for automation. In its place, we propose a declarative approach based on modelling individual components of a system together with their possible configuration states. Dependencies may be specified between components which guard how components may change configuration states. We determine the actions that may be performed to dynamically achieve target states for the system from these models. We have built an experimental system around these concepts and describe this approach in outline. Publication Info: To be presented at the Rise and Rise of the Declarative Datacentre (R2D2), Microsoft/HP Joint Workshop, May 2008, Cambridge, United Kingdom.


There are few cities in the UK to rival Manchester's student scene, in fact there are few cities in the UK that can rival any of Manchester's accolades too. Home to two large universities; The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan, the city is alive with the buzz of students and that is reflected in the quality and variety of CRM's Manchester student accommodation.
Manchester has so much to boast about that it's hard to know where to begin. From the worldwide fascination with Manchester United and Manchester City, to Oasis, Take That and international sporting events, it's easy to see how Manchester has such a reputation on a global stage. Throw in its cultural diversity, extensive shopping facilities, eclectic nightlife and cuisines from around the world and you've pretty much captured the true essence of this friendly northern city.
Manchester is a thriving and prosperous city and it is also probably the most fashionable student location in Britain. CRM Students offer four student accommodation choices in Manchester, all in ideal locations and with excellent facilities, so whichever you choose you'll be able to explore and enjoy everything this city has to offer.

Q: Finding duplicates and their indices in an array in Bash I want to find the duplicates in an array and their indices using bash.
For example, I have this array:
arr=("a" "b" "c" "a" "c")

In this case, "a" is a duplicate at index 0 and 3, and "c" is also a duplicate at index 2 and 4.
I am currently using two nested loops but I find it too slow especially when it is a large array.
Is there a better, more efficient way of doing this in bash?
Thank you!

A: Using awk, feeding array elements as input:
$ printf '%s\n' "${arr[@]}" |
  awk '{ elmnt[$0]= ($0 in elmnt? elmnt[$0] FS:"") NR-1 }
  END{ for (e in elmnt) print e, elmnt[e] }'
a 0 3
b 1
c 2 4

for new requirement (save each result into a shell variable):
$ printf '%s\n' "${arr[@]}" |
  awk -v q="'" '{ elmnt[$0]= ($0 in elmnt? elmnt[$0] FS:"") NR-1 }
  END{ for (e in elmnt) print e, q elmnt[e] q }' OFS='='
a='0 3'
b='1'
c='2 4'

save above command output to a file, then export that file using export varfile (varfile is just a filename), so all the variables will be exported as a shell variables.

A: You could use an associative array to check if the value has already been seen, without resorting to a linear scan every time:
#!/bin/bash
arr=("a" "b" "c" "a" "c")
declare -A values=()
for v in "${arr[@]}"; do
    if [ "${values["x$v"]+set}" = set ]; then
        echo "value '$v' is duplicate"
        break
    fi
    values["x$v"]=1
done
unset values

How fast that will be compared to just dumping the values for awk to process probably depends on the problem size. Shells aren't fast, especially Bash is slow.

WASHINGTON, May 24 -- In a rare departure from the White House's reaffirmed support for the Iraqi government after occupation of the crucial Iraqi city Ramadi by the extremist group Islamic State (IS), U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Sunday blamed the Iraqis for lacking will to fight.
'They (Iraqi forces) were not outnumbered, but in fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force, and yet they failed to fight. They withdrew from the site,' Carter told the U.S. TV networks CNN Sunday. 'What apparently happened was that the Iraqi forces just showed no will to fight.'
IS fighters took full control of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, Iraq, a week ago after the Iraqi security forces withdrew from their positions, a provincial security source earlier told Xinhua, confirming reports that the Iraqi force chose to leave, rather than being driven out of the region.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Iraqi military units stationed in the Eighth Brigade headquarters north of Ramadi pulled out fully towards the 160 kilometer area west of Ramadi before IS fighters took control of the headquarters.
'We can give them training. We can give them equipment, (but) we obviously can't give them the will to fight,' said Carter. 'I hope they will develop the will to fight, because only if they fight can ISIL remain defeated.' ISIL is an alternative name for the extremist group of IS.
The Pentagon announced Thursday that the delivery of 2,000 anti- tank weapons would arrive in Iraq within days for fending off suicide car bombings by IS in the future.
Up to 30 suicide car bombs were set off by IS fighters in routing the Iraqi forces in Ramadi, said a senior State Department official who requested customary anonymity when his remarks were cited.
According to a Pentagon statement, since Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's visit to Washington in April, the U.S. military had already delivered to Baghdad 250 mine-resistant, ambush- protected (MRAP) vehicles, 2,000 Hellfire missiles, 10,000 sets of body armor and helmets, and millions of rounds of ammunition, including small arms, tank artillery and anti-tank weapons.
However, Pentagon officials confirmed earlier that a large portion of the U.S.-supplied military equipment were abandoned in Ramadi.
Pentagon spokesman Army Colonel Steve Warren told reporters Tuesday that about a half dozen tanks, a similar number of artillery pieces, a larger number of armored personnel carrier together with roughly 100 wheeled vehicles like Humvees were abandoned when Iraqi forces left Ramadi.
When asked whether the Iraqis should have destroyed the equipment before leaving the city, Warren said it was 'certainly preferable' to destroy those vehicles and equipment to keep them from enhancing IS's fighting capability.
U.S. President Barack Obama's anti-IS strategy came under scrutiny after the fall of Ramadi. As vital parts of Obama administration's strategy, instead of sending large-scale ground troops to confront IS fighters, the United States has since last summer been leading a coalition force to conduct air raids while offering support to local forces fighting ISIL on the ground.
After attacking Obama's 'flawed strategy' in Iraq for a whole week, Republican Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, again on Memorial Day weekend blasted Obama for pulling troops from Iraq.
'Anybody who says we couldn't have stayed is not telling the truth,' McCain told the U.S. TV network CBS News Sunday. 'We could have a residual force or a sustaining force.'
What McCain referred to was Obama administration's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011. Since then, Obama has refused to send ground troops in the region to fight IS.
'We need more troops on the ground. We need forward air controllers,' said McCain, adding that what he wanted was not 'the massive 82nd Airborne' but a number of thousands soldiers on the ground.
Despite recent occupation of Iraqi and Syrian cities by IS fighters, little indication showed that the White House would soon budge on its stance of ruling out massive military deployment.
'I say it with full confidence, (that) the president will not be comfortable with the full-scale reinvasion of Iraq by the United States military,' said the White House spokesman Josh Earnest Thursday during the daily news briefing. 'That is a strategy that did not serve the long-term interests of the United States.'
'What the president believes (that) serves the long-term interests of the United States is building up the capacity of fighters on the ground inside of Iraq who are willing to fight for their own country,' he added.
However, during his interview Sunday, Carter apparently left all options on the table.
'If there comes a time when we need to change the kinds of support we're giving to the Iraqi forces, we'll make that recommendation,' he said.

A JAPANESE LIEBESTOD
The Love Suicides at Sonezaki (photo ©Hiroshi Sugimoto/ Courtesy of Odawara Art Foundation)
New York City has such a plethora of entertainment choices that it is difficult to decide where to go on any given evening. Surely, we made the right choice on Monday evening when Lincoln Center's White Light Festival brought an astonishing work of art to the Rose Theater. It was the United States premiere of The Love Suicides at Sonezaki, presented by Sugimoto Bunraku in association with The Japan Foundation and Odawara Art Foundation.
There are many credits for this production including the National Bunraku Theater (Bunraku Kyokai) and the Setagaya Arts Foundation and Setagaya Public Theater. We can only imagine how much work was involved in bringing this rarity to New York and how much artistry was involved in restoring a work from the early 18th century.
The original text was written by Chikamatsu Monzaemon, an uncommonly prolific dramatist who is thought of as a Japanese Shakespeare. The work glorified the concept of finding paradise through suicide; so many suicides resulted that in 1723 the Tokugawa shogunate prohibited its performances! The work lay dormant until 1955 and it had to be reconstructed from Chikamatsu's script for the narrator and some diagrams for the puppets. The current iteration was devised by the multidisciplinary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto; the work he created was as artistically valid and emotionally moving as one might wish.
The story concerns an impossible love between a 19-year-old girl who works in a brothel in what is euphemistically called the "pleasure quarter" (she is not so euphemistically called a "prostitute" in the English translation) and a lowly clerk who makes a series of unfortunate decisions. He rebels against an arranged marriage and has to return a dowry; he lends this money to a trusted friend who swindles him and accuses him of slander and trickery. His reputation is ruined; he is a broken man with no prospects. The "logical" decision is for the lovers to die together.
That puppets can make one weep is astonishing! Although we were sitting far from the stage we could not fail to miss the tilt of a head, the sweep of an arm, a reluctant footstep, a desperate embrace. All this without a single facial expression!
A master puppeteer was assigned to each character and a number of assistant puppeteers helped to move them in very humanlike fashion. Several illusions were artistically created, such as removing a sash, slicing it in twain, and tying the two lovers together. All the puppeteers were dressed in black, head to toe, almost invisible. The set was simple--a Torii gate when the heroine Ohatsu makes a pilgrimage, a simple elevated floor representing the veranda of the brothel in the second act and a projected forest for the death scene. Video projections by Tabaimo represented natural elements like birds flying and the forest.
And now about the music! Composer, Director, and lead player of the shamisen was Seiji Tsurusawa whose playing was augmented by several more shamisen players, all of whom had the last name of Tsurusawa. We cannot say whether they are members of the same family or adopted the name as an honorific. We heard what we think was a shakuhachi offstage as well as soft drumming and a gong.
The sung parts were listed in the program as "Narrators". They included Rosetayu Toyotake, Todayu Toyotake, Rodayu Toyotake, and Nozomidayu Toyotake. Again we suspect either a family relationship or an honorific. The sound rose and fell in splendid cadence as if the program were one long recitativo. All the narrators introduced variation of dynamics, tempi, and color to get the emotions of the story across.The overall effect was hypnotic. The effects have stayed with us and stimulated thoughts about hopelessness and suicide.
Not only in centuries gone by have couples wished to leave the earth together. It is not unheard of for elderly couples facing death and decline to do so, although it is uncommon in the young. Solo suicides, on the other hand, have been rising in the younger demographic. We do not think that they are expecting to wind up in paradise. More likely it is a tragic attempt to escape bullying, gender identity issues, or egregious parenting. And these suicides often stimulate "copycat" suicides. In our day these events are tragic.
Only in art can suicide become beautifully poetic!

U.K. Spring Weather and the Natural World
Posted on 23 April, 2018 by Stephen Burt
By Pete Inness
We are now just over half way through April, so about half way through meteorological Spring which is defined as March, April and May. Despite the warm weather of the last few days it's been a fairly cold Spring so far, with the mean temperature across most of the UK being 2 degrees C below normal during March. Easterly winds in late February and March, dubbed the "Beast from the East" in the press, brought cold air across the UK from continental Europe, and there were several spells of snow which caused significant disruption to transport.
To many people the arrival of Spring is not so much set by a date in the calendar but by the occurrence of particular aspects of the natural world. People keep records of events such as the first flowering of particular plants or the emergence of particular insects from hibernation. The Nature's Calendar website, run by the Woodland Trust, allows people to upload their recordings and produces maps which show how the seasons are progressing in the natural world.
For me personally, the appearance of blackthorn flowers in the hedgerows is a sign that Spring has really started. Blackthorn is a ubiquitous hedging shrub around much of the UK and its white flowers, blossoming before the leaves appear, transform the appearance of the countryside between early March and mid April. In Autumn, blackthorn is also the source of the dark blue sloes needed for the manufacture of sloe gin. With the cold weather in February and March this year it's not surprising that blackthorn has flowered later than usual. By 1 April last year, with March temperatures a degree or so above normal, there had been many recorded sightings of blackthorn in flower across the whole of the UK, including all of Wales, Northern Ireland and even Northern Scotland (see Figure 1, Top). This year, sightings of blackthorn reported to Nature's Calendar up to 1 April were restricted to England and South Wales, with no reports at all in Northern Ireland or Scotland and very few reports north of the English Midlands (Fig. 1, Bottom). The very cold Spring of 2013, when March was actually colder than February, led to a very similar pattern of delayed flowering in blackthorn. In 2016, a year with Spring temperatures very close to the long term average, there were many more reports of blackthorn in flower by 1 April, including in Northern Ireland and the central belt of Scotland.
Figure 1. Sightings of blackthorn in flower on or before 1 April, reported to the Nature's Calendar website. Each dot represents an individual report. (Top) 2017. (Bottom) 2018. Figures downloaded from naturescalendar.woodlandtrust.org.uk.
Year-to-year variations in the dates of particular natural events are not unexpected as the weather has a first order impact on the behaviour or plants, animals, birds and insects. However, climate change has also started to have a discernible impact on long term trends in the natural indicators of the arrival of Spring. A study by Amano et al, published in 2010, used flowering records going back 250 years to create an index of flowering dates for the UK. They found that in the most recent 25 year period in their study, plants flowered between 2.2 and 12.7 days earlier than any other consecutive 25 year period in the study, with flowering occurring, on average, 5 days earlier for each degree of warming.
In some ways this might be good news as a longer growing season for crops in the UK might mean that agricultural productivity will increase. However, there may be downsides in the natural world. Some species may adjust to temperature changes at different rates. To give a simple example, the arrival and nesting of a particular migratory bird species in the UK may be timed to coincide with an abundance of a particular insect larva on which they feed their chicks. However, if that insect starts producing larvae very much earlier than the arrival of the birds then the birds themselves may struggle to feed their young.
In farming too, changes to Spring temperatures may also cause problems. Although Spring is getting warmer on average, there are still examples such as 2013 and 2018 when there can be very cold spells. If blossom on fruit trees has already appeared prior to a cold spell then yields of that particular variety of fruit can be badly hit.
The specific atmospheric conditions that led to the low Spring temperatures this year and in 2013 are now reasonably well understood and there is no indication that these conditions will become less likely to occur in a warmer world. Hence we can continue to expect considerable variations in Spring temperatures from year to year even as the mean climate warms over the next 50 years or so.

It's been a long four years since the Calgary Flames last won a playoff game (yes, really), so last night's decisive win over the Colorado Avalanche was a definite cause for celebration.
Taking a two-goal lead in the second period and all but sealing the deal with an empty netter late in the third, the Flames got their first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs off on the right skate — largely due to a shutout performance by Mike Smith (who also got an assist!), closing out the third with 4-0.
The crowd at the Saddledome was on their feet for a large part of the game, and the celebration spilt out onto 17th Avenue following the big win.
As the game was being played, huge crowds also gathered at the Flames Playoff Launch Party at the Big Four Building, giving the fans that didn't manage to snag a Game 1 ticket the opportunity to celebrate surrounded by an electrifying atmosphere.

EIIP Classroom Online Presentation
Back to School:
FEMA's Preparedness Division
Emergency Management Institute
Dr. Wayne Blanchard returned to the Virtual Classroom, to provide and update on the progress of FEMA's Higher Education Project, since his last visit during May of 1998. One of the goals of the Higher Education Project is to encourage and support the inclusion of emergency management-related education in colleges and universities across the United States. EMI would like to see an emergency management-related degree program in every State of the Union by the year 2001.
There are currently 48 programs from the Certificate to the Ph.D. level. There are an additional 23 colleges and universities in the process of investigating establishing an emergency management program. There are also 6 completed courses and 15 more in development, towards a bachelor degree curriculum. Completed courses are available for download vai the Internet. A compilation of course syllabi and outlines of existing emergency management-related courses as well as a Compendium of emergency management-related college proposals is available to colleges and universities wishing to investigate the development of a emergency management program. Both are free of charge.
Jane Kushma described a new emergency systems management concentration within the Human Services Management, B.S. degree program, offerred by the University of Tennessee at Chatanooga. An internship may be served in an emergency management setting.UTC seeks to expand the focus by emphasizing issues facing voluntary relief organizations and nonprofit agencies. UTC will consider granting elective credit for prior courses, and is actively exploring distance learning opportunities.

"The Floatones" is an experimental theater work in which four people form an "encounter support group" that sings about "post meaning" and being "content free" while consoling each other with idiosyncratic gestures and atonal harmonies. The play was written by the late downtown theater legend Jim Neu and premiered in 1995 at La MaMa's The Club starring Neu, Keith McDermott, Bill Rice and Mary Shultz. Catherine Galasso offers a fresh take on "The Floatones" in collaboration with Neu's longtime director Keith McDermott and a new generation of downtown performers, Jess Barbagallo, Joshua William Gelb, Larissa Velez-Jackson, and Greg Zuccolo.
Keith McDermott made his Broadway debut as Alan Strang in "Equus" starring opposite Richard Burton. As an actor he has worked "uptown and down," and toured the world in works directed by Robert Wilson. His novel, "Acqua Calda," was shortlisted for a Lambda Award and a Gay & Lesbian National Book Award, and an article on his Equus experience, "The Boy In Burton's Shadow," has been optioned for film. For fifteen years, from 1995 until 2010, he directed the plays of Jim Neu.
Joshua William Gelb is a New York based performer, director, and librettist. Previously he has performed with Little Lord, Tele-Violet, Moe Yousuf & Allison Lyman, Designated Movement, among others, and has made appearances at Prelude, Other Forces, Incubator Arts, Dixon Place, Ars Nova, and several Target Margin Labs. www.joshuawilliamgelb.com.
Greg Zuccolo is a dancer who has been performing in New York and the world for the last twenty years. His early dance training started at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. He danced with the company for a year before moving to Belgium to appear in divertissements with Les Operettes Royale de Wallonie. While appearing in silver wigs and glittering baroque-esque costumes held great appeal for Zuccolo, he was soon compelled to move to New York and begin his agonizing queer-eer as a proper dance artist. Performing and collaborating with the likes of Stanley Love, Tere O'Connor, John Jasperse and Sarah Michelson, Greg eventually received the plaque and the five hundred dollars that always come with a Bessie Award. Greg soon returned to Europe, first on the "Ancient Roman Amphi-theatres Only Tour" with Baryshnikov's White Oak and then for sustained work with Michael Laub and Remote Control Productions. Appearing in films by Ilya Chaiken, Matthew Barney and Nicholas Elliot as well as the plays of Tina Satter and Sibyl Kempson, Zuccolo continues to explore myriad ways of showing up. His own works include "Calvin Klein by Greg Zuccolo," a collaboration with Hilary Clark, "Busy Nights," a play decorated with dancing and "Too Much Too Soon:," a one man whine/rant/dance illustrating Zuccolo's experiences in the worlds of performance and art and dance.
In March 2014, we presented a work-in-progress version of "The Floatones" at Dixon Place. Kristine Haruna Lee and Keith McDermott opened the night with an excerpt from Neu's "Immediality."

We have already mentioned the Food Standards Agency's new food hygiene rating scheme as the national roll-out continues. For the most part, reports have been positive, but it is now clear that they may already be showing just how they will be useful for the protection of customers' health!
Inspections have been going on throughout the country in order to award the relevant scores, which range from 0 to 5. A score of 0 or 1 indicates sub-standard quality and a need for major or urgent improvement.
In North Wales, more than three hundred food outlets from restaurants, fish and chip shops, nursing homes and schools have found to be lacking when it comes to food hygiene. With seventeen 0 ratings, and around three hundred 1 ratings, it seems customers should be careful where they buy their food.
These ratings are designed to encourage improvement, and although the businesses involved are not obliged to display their rating on their premises, all inspection results are freely available on the FSA's website.
Food safety training is an essential part of any food outlet's food hygiene policy. Members of staff need to understand the risks as well as how to minimise them and keep adequate records.

Spaghetti Squash Chicken Chow Mein, is a Lower Calorie Weight Watchers alternative to using Chow Mein Noodles. Quickly and easily made in an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker.
I'm always trying to lose weight and what better way, then with delicious food?
Low calorie, but delicious recipes which do not taste like I'm on a diet is my kind of recipe.
Spaghetti Squash is so wonderful to use in place of Spaghetti Noodles.
My Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash and Meat Sauce is a recipe, which I have been making for over 20 years.
It is so delicious and when I used to do make-up in Hollywood, the Craft Services people would make sure to have a nice batch for me and another make-up artist.
A few years ago, I converted it to my Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker.
Head over to my Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash recipe and prepare the Squash before starting this recipe.
Chow Mein is stir-fried noodles.
Depending on where you are in the Word, Chow Mein may mean something different.
Chow Mein is popular in many Countries.
The similarities are that the dish contains meat, vegetables and generally, a brown sauce.
It is totally a customizable dish and can be prepared different each time, if new flavors are desired.
What Ingredients are in Chicken Chow Mein?
This recipe is flexible and if you like other vegetables, such as broccoli, go a head and add it in after pressure has been released.
The Potato Starch will keep the Chicken from drying out.
You just want to brown the sides a little, just enough, so the Starch adheres to the Chicken.
This is one of my favorite tips and tricks, so make sure to always have Potato Starch on hand.
Don't you hate having to add a slurry at the end of a recipe?
So often, the Starch won't cook enough and the Sauce will have a raw taste.
Shaoxing Wine takes the flavor up another level.
If you do not have Shaoxing (and why don't you), I suggest using a good Dry Sherry, one that is for drinking.
They are almost interchangeable in results. Shaoxing Wine is usually much cheaper than Sherry.
How do you make Chow Mein Sauce?
Grab a Mixing Cup and Whisk the Sauce ingredients together.
It will get added in after all the ingredients and before the more delicate vegetables.
For more texture, add in half the Cabbage before pressure cooking.
And half of it afterwards, when you add the Spaghetti Squash.
The residual heat will cook the Cabbage and warm up the Spaghetti Sqaush.
Simmer if needed to thicken the Sauce or cook the Cabbage more.
Other Weight Watchers Recipes You May Enjoy!
I'd love to hear from you once you have tried out this recipe.
Tag me on Instagram using #This_Old_Gal and show me a photo!
Prepare Spaghetti Squash according to recipe. Scrape out strands and set aside.
Select Saute or Browning on your Pressure Cooker and allow to fully heat.
Add Oil, Celery and Onions and Saute for 1 minute.
Add Chicken pieces to cooking pot and brown on each side, about 3 seconds a side (just enough for the Starch to adhere to Chicken).
Add Garlic and Ginger and mix through.
Pour in Shoaxing Wine and deglaze cooking pot, making sure to scrape up anything stuck on the bottom. Turn off Pressure Cooker.
Pour in Sauce and mix through. Place Snow Peas and Cabbage on top. Do not mix through.
Lock on Lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook at High Pressure for 2 minutes. When Beep sounds, wait 5 minutes and then release the rest of the Pressure.
Remove Lid and mix in Scallions, Spaghetti Squash and Bean Sprouts.
