Yesterday I had pre-operation screening: a few more scans and X-Rays for the surgeon. Afterwards, Phil and I met Jan at the newly opened northern section of the High Line. In a parking lot on 30th Street and 10th Avenue there are a number of food trucks and picnic tables set up for visitors. I've been wanting to try the ice cream sandwiches from Coolhaus. You choose your cookie type and ice cream flavor and then they make it for you. I had vanilla with chocolate cookies.
The edible wrapper looks delicious.
I wish I liked ice cream. Except, I remember really liking Jersey Shore fresh waffle ice cream sandwiches. It was fresh hot waffles sandwiching a slice of neapolitan ice cream with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. That was something that I could crave again.


This medium-width, delicate & feminine cuff bracelet is a best-seller. Two sections of slinky chain, three sections of chainmaille. Ends with a tube/slide clasp.
*I have updated this design and added extra chain on the outside so that the chainmaille square doesn't stick out past the chain and is instead in line with it.

About 30 minutes ago, I arrived with my parents in Western Kentucky to witness what has been called "The Great American Eclipse." Hopkinsville, a city about 52 miles away, will experience totality, meaning the the eclipse will achieve 100% coverage for 2-3 minutes. In the little city in which we're staying, we will have totality, but with fewer crowds (a relief!). Also, I've witnessed a handful of lunar eclipses in my day. Maybe even a vague memory of a partial solar eclipse (thought I'm not sure). So, this is a very fun experience that I'll always remember. Nature is great!
Finally, I'm strongly considering which direction my blog should take. For a long time, the niche was "happiness." I directed my writing towards events and things that produced happiness in my life. However, since beginning the blog in April 2016, I've gone through many life changes. I've found that my blog now tends to gravitate towards my Catholic faith and the everyday life. If you have any suggestions, please comment below or message me. I want to take my writing more seriously and produce content that is beneficial for both my readers and myself.
In the meantime, catch the eclipse (and don't forget your special viewing glasses!).

Clinton, Trump claim big Super Tuesday victories
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was sweeping through the South on Super Tuesday, with the Republican front-runner claiming victory in the party's primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia and Massachusetts. March 1, 2016. (AP)
Hillary Clinton won at least five states in Super Tuesday elections, the biggest day of the primary campaign. She thanked a group of supporters in Miami, saying, "all across our country today, Democrats voted to break down barriers." Mar. 1, 2016. (AP)
Tribune news servicesContact Reporter
Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, emboldened by commanding victories Tuesday across large swaths of the country, are beginning to focus on each other in the race for the White House.
Clinton previewed a "love and kindness" message while Trump traded his typical rollicking rallies for a sober media conference where he pressed his case that Clinton is a proven failure as a longtime politician.
Both spoke from Florida, where the general election is often won or lost. That wasn't one of the dozen states that weighed in on a day known as Super Tuesday because it's the busiest of the 2016 primary season.
Voters from Vermont to Colorado, Alaska to American Samoa and a host of states in between headed to polling places and caucus sites on the busiest day of the 2016 primaries.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won his home state, Oklahoma and Alaska, buttressing his out-of-the-gate win in the Iowa caucuses a month ago, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio notched his first victory, in Minnesota.
"Our campaign is the only campaign that has beaten, that can beat, and that will beat Donald Trump," Cruz thundered to supporters gathered at the wood-paneled Redneck Country Club in Stafford, Texas.
Still, he'd been counting on more appeal in the Southern states and among evangelical Christian voters. Trump, who dubs his surging campaign the "Trump Train," has derailed those plans.
Rubio and the other Republicans still in the race, John Kasich and Ben Carson, struggled Tuesday to convey optimism even as they vowed to fight on.
Hillary Clinton widened her lead over Democratic rival Bernie Sanders as minority voters helped her secure key victories in seven states in the Super Tuesday contests. Sanders won four states and pledged to stay in the race, but failed to broaden his appeal beyond whites.
Clinton carried Georgia,...
Simple math reinforces a bind for the Republicans who reject Trump, as the brash billionaire businessman carried seven states and continues to barrel toward the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination.
Trump won at least 203 delegates Tuesday. Cruz collected at least 144 delegates and Rubio picked up at least 71. Overall, Trump leads with 285 delegates, Cruz has 161, Rubio has 87, Kasich has 25 and Carson has eight. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the GOP nomination.
Increasingly, leading Republicans talk of a contested convention in July as their best remaining option for stopping Trump, whose divisive rhetoric about immigrants and ethnic and religious groups has some fearing a GOP wipeout in November.
Like Cruz, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was victorious in his home state.
He also picked up victories in Oklahoma, Minnesota and Colorado, and he assured supporters he'd take his fight to "every one" of the remaining contests. With a staggering $42 million raised in February alone, Sanders has the campaign cash to do just that — though Clinton is well on her way to the 2,383 delegates needed on the Democratic side.
Donald Trump claimed seven Republican victories on Super Tuesday as the New York businessman extended his dominance in the 2016 primary.
At the same time, the GOP leaders' search for any viable alternative to Trump suffered a fresh setback, with both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio vowing to fight on...
Tuesday's results left little doubt as to the front-runners in the race.
Clinton collected wins in seven states, and Trump swept up victories in seven, including Virginia, another important general election battleground.
She is assured of winning at least 457 of the 865 delegates at stake Tuesday. Sanders will gain at least 286. When including party leaders, Clinton has at least 1,005 delegates and Sanders has at least 373.
Clinton held on to older voters and strongly prevailed among Hispanics and African-Americans, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. Trump, a political newcomer, pulled in two-thirds of voters looking to install an outsider in the White House, while GOP voters seeking an experienced candidate were split between Rubio and Cruz, both first-term senators.
Speaking from his gold-flecked Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump asserted that his candidacy is a "movement" and that he is expanding the Republican Party even as many of its leaders have distanced themselves from him.
A moment after Trump professed to have good relationships with his party's elite, he issued a warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had declared earlier Tuesday that "this party does not prey on people's prejudices." Trump said that if the two don't get along, Ryan is "going to have to pay a big price."
One way Trump claimed he would unify the party was by training his fire on Clinton.
He said she should be disqualified from even running for office because she broke from government protocol by using a private email server while she was secretary of state.
Clinton tried to turn Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan on its head, saying the country instead must be made "whole again."
"What we need in America today is more love and kindness," she said. "Instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers and build ladders of opportunity and empowerment."
Trump ridiculed her comments. "She's been there for so long," he said. "If she hasn't straightened it out by now, she's not going to straighten it out in the next four years."
Rubio said his supporters would never rally around Trump. He and Kasich showed little sign of relenting, especially with their home states of Florida and Ohio voting on March 15.
"We are so excited about what lies ahead for our campaign," Rubio said at his Tuesday night rally in Miami, his hometown. "You see, just five days ago we began to unmask the true nature of the front-runner in this race."
He portrayed his attacks on Trump as having an impact already, though that wasn't evident in Super Tuesday's results.
"Two weeks from tonight right here in Florida," Rubio said, "we are going to send a message loud and clear: The party of Lincoln and Reagan will never be held by a con artist."

Q: XPath find child with certain attribute values Im developing a GUI XML editor that's part of a larger program. I can use the GUI to to detect which XML node was clicked on & generate an XPath expression:
Class MainController, COPY TASK QueryString ://Ingest_LDD/Property_Maps/*
The expression above gets Property_Maps & all its children & therefore I'm able to duplicate that attribute use the GUI.

The problem is that with this operation I'm getting XPath queries that look like:
//Ingest_LDD/DD_Attribute/* OR //Ingest_LDD/comment/* which only matches the 1st instance of the select node and therefore if the user were to duplicate several nodes only the 1st node will always be returned and we cannot duplicate other nodes with the same name or other nodes with different attributes.
This Java code snippet generates the XPath:
//DEBUGGING START
                            elementAttributesQueryString = "/" + elementQueryString;
                            int count = selectedGuiNode.getChildCount();
                            if (count >1) {
                                Enumeration attributes = selectedGuiNode.children();
                                elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + "[";
                                int childrenCounter = 0;
                                //while there are more attributes
                                while (attributes.hasMoreElements()) {

                                    //if there more than 1 children then we need a "and" condition.
                                     if (childrenCounter > 0) {
                                        elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + " and ";
                                    }
                                    elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + "@"+attributes.nextElement().toString() + "=";
                                    elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + "'";
                                    elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + selectedGuiNode.getChildAt(childrenCounter).getChildAt(0).toString();
                                    elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + "'";
                                    childrenCounter++;
                                }//end of while
                                elementAttributesQueryString = elementAttributesQueryString + "]";
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                elementAttributesQueryString = "/" + elementQueryString + "/*";
                            }
//DEBUGGING END

Now if the user attempts to duplicate 'Property_Maps' the program will produce this XPath:
//Ingest_LDD/Property_Maps[@identifier='identifierABCD' and @title='titleABCD' and @namespace_id='namespace_idABCD' and @description='descriptionABCD' and @external_property_map_id='external_property_map_idABCD' and @external_property_map_id='external_property_map_idABCD' and @Property_Map='identifier' and @Property_Map='identifier']

The new Prestashop 1.7 version will allow you completely clean the front end from any inappropriate information coming from the back end.
Ajax-objects, used to auto-complete the search.
Variables like cart, shop, configuration, etc., which are added to the Smarty templates.
Prestashop JS objects, which contain the same variables, which makes them available everywhere on the front end.
In this Prestashop version, the server side (Smarty templates) and the client side (the ajax responses, Prestashop objects) use the same objects. Why is this an issue?
Since the templates are located on the server, this is not what allows to access confidential data. However, the data sent to a client is a completely different story, and it should be carefully processed. For example, you do not want anyone to know the wholesale price of a product, so do not include it in the data sent to the client.
Prestashop is an extensible platform, but with the extensibility comes uncertainty: it is impossible to know in advance what data will be added to the models with the help of modules or settings. This means that PrestaShop must be opened for configuration and save the data by default.
The server side and the client side have different needs. The templates require as much information as possible for flexibility in use, and the client side should receive as little as possible for security reasons and higher network productivity.
Starting from 1.7.3.1 version, Prestashop will filter all the data it sends to the client side using the whitelist-based filtering service.
Only the data sent to the client will be filtered. Smarty objects will be stored as they were.
Blacklist is unsafe by default. Not only because you have to know, what to remove beforehand in Prestashop, what is impossible due to the extensibility of Prestashop, where the data can be changed anytime. Developers will have to filter as much new information as possible or to risk data leaks.
Whitelist makes the store secure by default. Developers need to add new information to the whitelist for its output on the client side.
First, you need to enable actionFrontControllerAfterInit and delete price from whitelist products.
Perform actions after front office controller initialization.
The hook actionFrontControllerAfterInit is launched after the initialization of all front office controllers.
Suppose you want to add an element called my_custom_data to a Prestashop object. Simply enable actionBuildFrontEndObject and add my_custom_data to $params.
Here is how you manage the data displayed on the front end in the new Prestashop 1.7 version. Hope this was helpful and clear, leave your comments, if not.

Q: Should we prevent from calling func within checking condition of a Python loop? We often encounter such a situation that we need to check if a loop should be terminated, while some terminating condition comes from a function.
If the result of the func changes during the loop, it's no doubt we have to call the func every time.
When the result of the func is a constant during the loop, it looks like better to store the result with a variable to prevent from calling repeatedly the func and getting a same result.
My question is "Does Python interpreters optimize such problems for us?"
If so, we don't need to do it manually like this:
end = len(data)
# many other codes are here
while position < end:
    do_something(position)

Instead we can keep codes simple and more readable:
# whatever codes here don't influence the readability of the loop
while position < len(data):
    do_something(position)

A: The interpreter does not optimize this for you due to the simple reason, it cannot...
python is a dynamic interpreted language which allows some funky scenarios.
for example, this snippet is 100% valid:
while position < len(data):
    do_something(position)

    def len(v):
        return data.__len__() + 42

each time the position < len(data) expression is interpreted, the meaning of len is different.
My advice would be - don't worry about it.
The len function's time penalty is either a drop in the ocean in comparison to do_something or the whole thing is probably quick enough.
When you get to a scenarion it does matter - solve the specific problem in a way that would suit the specific case (hint: lru_cache can come in handy in many cases!).

A: Short answer: No, but we can use walrus operator to achieve similar goal. However, walrus operator just makes your code neat but won't save the stack call cost. Theoretically, if you're pursuing the best performance, end = len(data) is the best choice.
Analysis:
import dis
data = [1, 3, 4]
def test1():
    position = 0
    end = len(data)
    while position < end:
        # do something
        position += 1
def test2():
    position = 0
    while position < len(data):
        # do something
        position += 1
dis.dis(test1)
print("------")
dis.dis(test2)

              6 LOAD_GLOBAL              0 (len)
              8 LOAD_GLOBAL              1 (data)

As we can see, test2() will does
              6 LOAD_GLOBAL              0 (len)

every loop, while test1() only does
             14 LOAD_FAST                1 (end)

By using walrus operator, the function and the output are shown below, respectively:
import dis
data = [1, 3, 4]
def walrus():
    position = 0
    while position < (end := len(data)):
        # do something
        position += 1

             12 DUP_TOP
             14 STORE_FAST               1 (end)
             16 COMPARE_OP               0 (<)
             18 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE       30

 21          20 LOAD_FAST                0 (position)
             22 LOAD_CONST               2 (1)
             24 INPLACE_ADD
             26 STORE_FAST               0 (position)
             28 JUMP_ABSOLUTE            4
        >>   30 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
             32 RETURN_VALUE

A: Python interpreters don't optimize such problems. In this case, the value of len(data) is not cached and will be calculated on each iteration of this while loop. So, you are better off using your first code block above where you store this value somewhere.

FFA Private Bank to launch $1 billion investment vehicle
29, May. 2017 News
FFA Private Bank (FFA) is preparing to launch a structured investment vehicle (SIV) to channel investments to power generation and other infrastructure projects. The initial objective is to reach $1 billion of investments in the short-to-medium term, over two to three years, said Jean Riachi, the bank's chairman.
Solar, wind, and hydraulic power projects will be mostly targeted, as well as waste-to-energy projects and waste treatment projects. Most of the large projects will, in principle, be public private partnerships (PPPs), according to Iyad Boustany, Managing Director for Investment Banking at FFA.
"This financing vehicle, called 'Lebanon Infrastructure Fund', is very advanced in terms of financial sophistication. It is the first of its kind in the country," Boustany said.
The financing could take different shapes whether debt or equity financing. It could include bonds, bank loans, and vendor financing. The funding could also be in the form of multilateral financing obtained from international organizations such as the IFC, German state-owned development bank KfW, and French development finance institution, Proparco.
Investment will mainly come from abroad, according to Riachi.
"We tell investors that they can be senior debt holders, junior mezzanine debt holders, or equity holders. Each option has its own risk and return aspects. We tailor these risks and returns to each investor's preferences," he said.
The 'Lebanon Infrastructure Fund' will own the assets of the projects. These will include physical ones such as land, buildings, power plants, wind turbines, and solar panels, as well as contracts.
Operators will manage the business against fees and a share in profits.
Financing the capital expenditure (CAPEX) of the projects will give operators the opportunity to expand their operations without the need to raise capital, Riachi said.
The work will be a gradual project-by-project process. Each one will be separated from other projects in terms of assets and liabilities, although FFA will be using one single vehicle. They will also be segregated in terms of investors and risks.
The fund is governed by law number 705, which was issued in 2005.
"The law has so far been applied to securitization of receivables only, but it is a multipurpose law that could be used for many additional financing tools such as asset financing, and sale and leaseback," Boustany said.
He said that corporate governance is crucial for international financial organizations and that it is intrinsic to the fund because this investment vehicle is governed by law 705.
"The strength of this fund lies in its capacity to link investors to the projects in a transparent way. The presence of FFA, and of the Central Bank (BDL), and the CMA as regulatory authorities, as well as abidance by corporate governance, gives confidence to investors," he said.
FFA is in the process of writing the documentation of the fund and expects to get the approval of the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) within two months. Riachi said they are in talks with all the parties that will be involved in the fund including investors, operators, and the BDL.
Boustany said that their talks with BDL pertain to the subsidized loans that are granted to energy projects.
Industrialist Neemat Frem will hold the position of Chairman of the fund's supervisory board.
"Frem will join the fund not in his capacity as an industrialist, but as someone who wants to help in the concept of an initiative that he considers of national importance," Riachi said.
He said that they are looking forward in the longer term, to finance projects in the gas and oil sector.
"We might lobby in the future to advance these projects which could be implemented at no cost to the Government," Riachi said.
These projects, once oil and gas are explored, will be much bigger than current energy projects.
He said they will seek to fund especially gas pipeline projects and gas-fired power plants. Building pipelines, terminals, and storage facilities for natural gas are needed whether or not the country will be exporting or importing natural gas, he said

EU budget summit exposes weak Franco-German relations
Hollande and Merkel - not like the good old days (Photo: consilium.europa.eu)
By Honor Mahony
Brussels, 26. Nov 2012, 09:25
It was funny old summit last week. It broke off without agreement on the EU's 2014-2020 budget. But the failure was neither a big surprise nor particularly acrimonious.
Already before the meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, something of a weathervane for EU decisions, said it would be no big drama if agreement only came in spring.
After negotiations, several EU leaders remarked that the mood had been comparatively positive. Indeed, on Friday (24 November) afternoon the biggest point of dispute appeared to be whether to continue to try to reach a deal.
Eventually they broke off. The mooted four-shirt meeting was a mere two-shirter, no longer than a traditional summit. The statement afterwards was unusually to the point.
There "was a sufficient degree of potential convergence to make an agreement possible in the beginning of next year," it said.
The EU's €1 trillion 7-year budget has never been solved in one summit. Former British leader Tony Blair, in charge of the discussions in 2005, famously concluded that negotiating the Northern Ireland peace process was easier. For budget historians 1999 was a notoriously toxic affair.
The surprise was the changing alliances ahead of and during the summit. And the fact that Britain was not isolated - even though the ingredients were all there for it to be so.
Ahead of the summit, British leader David Cameron lost few opportunities to speak of the "wasteful" EU budget. Faced with a restive domestic parliament, he was also the first to threaten to use the veto - although that particular club became steadily less exclusive as the summit approached.
The budget antics came on top of a profound evolution in the UK's relations to the EU, to the extent that there has been much talk of whether London, with every disparaging comment, is simply talking itself out of the European Union.
But before the meeting, care was being taken both in Berlin and Brussels to meet Britain's concerns. UK officials, for their part, let it be known that the initial pre-summit proposal went in the right direction, even if it did not go not far enough.
During the summit, Germany made sure Britain was not isolated. Along with the Netherlands and Sweden, the four said the proposed €973 billion budget was still too large.
The other major dynamic of the meeting was the lack of a Franco-German bulwark. In 2002, for example, President Chirac and Chancellor Schroeder - much to the chagrin of Blair at the time - cut a long term deal on farm spending. The deal, extremely beneficial to France, tied the hands of budget negotiators in 2005.
But relations and priorities are different now.
Paris is still keen on farm and regional spending, but Germany attaches more worth to cutting the overall bill.
Relations between Chancellor Merkel, a conservative, and France's President Francois Hollande, a socialist, are not particularly warm. Their views how to get out of the economic crisis are very different.
Meanwhile, France has still to undertake serious structural reforms - reforms its large neighbour already undertook by 2005. Consequently, Germany views France as one of the sick men of Europe. Earlier this month, given an opportunity to do so, its finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble could not bring himself to praise France's economy and reform efforts.
The discrepancies have put the relations out of kilter. And this has had a knock-on effect. EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy's initial budget proposal was an anathema to France. It cut both farm and regional subsidies and kept the British rebate.
Paris was said to be alarmed at the way the pre-summit negotiations were conducted and particularly the fact that Berlin worked closely with London.
"I think psychologically the French are in an unusual place," said one diplomat. "Because of their standing in the system and that they are masters of (budgetary) detail, they are used to getting their own way pretty easily."
"The Germans have been saying [to France]: 'Well if you want to be the hyphen between the North and South, then you have to accept the consequences. We are no longer necessarily going to be looking after your interests in quite the same way'," the diplomatic source added.
Leaders break off EU budget talks
MEPs told to prepare for budget cuts
Germany wants EU budget summit in February
Divided Europe, divided Eurozone
EU institutions mark out 'red lines' ahead of budget summit
EU leaders on Friday decided to break off 2014-2020 budget negotiations after a second compromise attempt failed to reconcile those wanting cuts and those asking for more money.
MEPs should brace themselves for an overall cut in the next EU budget framework, commission President Barroso has warned.
Germany wants a second attempt to reach an EU budget deal on 7-8 February, but EU Council chief Van Rompuy is unsure.
In the past few days, Brussels has been swept by a EU budget debate for the years 2014 to 2020, and the continuing saga of the Greek debt. Current solutions reflect old challenges and new divisions, writes Dan Steinbock.
EU politicians are squaring up for a showdown on the bloc's seven year budget ahead of next week's summit.
EU regions: don't touch cohesion funds for Green Deal
The president of the committee of the regions defended the "crucial role" of cohesion policy not only for the Green Deal, but also for keeping Europe united in the new challenges ahead.

America Needs a Permanent Anti-war Movement
Public apathy toward relatively small-scale military actions makes war with Iran more likely.
By Conor Friedersdorf

My colleague David Frum, a supporter of the Iraq War who coined the phrase axis of evil, issued a warning in a column this week: "The project of a war with Iran is so crazy, it remains incredible that Donald Trump's administration could truly be premeditating it," he wrote. "But on the off, off chance that it is, here's a word of caution from a veteran of the George W. Bush administration: Don't do it."
Among the reasons he offers:
The U.S. would find itself without allies except for Israel and the Gulf states. The Trump administration would find itself even more isolated politically at home. Most Americans do not support, trust, or respect Trump's leadership.
There is no Colin Powell–like figure in this administration, no senior official who commands respect across party lines. Pitifully few people in this administration command respect even within party lines. The administration's record of casual incompetence at minor tasks raises terrifying questions about its capacity for a gigantic undertaking like a land war against a Central Asian state.
My colleague James Fallows, an Iraq War opponent who wrote "Blind Into Baghdad," the inside story of a historic failure, declared this week, "Military engagement with Iran would be far stupider, more reckless, and more destructive." As he observed after watching an Iran-focused war game in 2014:
Unlike Saddam Hussein's Iraq, a threatened Iran would have many ways to harm America and its interests. Apart from cross-border disruptions in Iraq, it might form an outright alliance with al-Qaeda to support major new attacks within the United States. It could work with other oil producers to punish America economically. It could, as [Marine Corps Colonel Thomas X.] Hammes warned, apply the logic of "asymmetric," or "fourth-generation," warfare, in which a superficially weak adversary avoids a direct challenge to U.S. military power and instead strikes the most vulnerable points in American civilian society, as al-Qaeda did on 9/11.
If it thought that the U.S. goal was to install a wholly new regime rather than to change the current regime's behavior, it would have no incentive for restraint.
My colleagues aren't alone in worrying that a disastrous war with Iran is a possibility. Last year, Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal negotiated during the Obama administration and imposed punishing sanctions on the country. Last month, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to acknowledge that waging war against Iran is not covered by the September 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force, which Congress passed in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
This week, the Department of Defense unveiled an updated military plan that "envisions sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East should Iran attack American forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons," The New York Times reported. "On Tuesday," the newspaper added, "Spanish defense officials withdrew a Spanish frigate that was part of an American-led carrier strike group heading to the Persian Gulf, to avoid entanglement in any upcoming conflict." The State Department has just evacuated some of its staff from Baghdad. And Fox News is hyping alleged ties between Iran and al-Qaeda.
In Congress and the press, the prospect of war with Iran is being treated as more worrisome than recent U.S. actions in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and beyond, a posture that makes sense, given the likely costs of fighting that country.
Yet the relative apathy that surrounded those smaller conflicts—in Congress, the media, and the public—is a factor that makes a conflict with Iran more likely.
Picture this alternative reality:
Imagine that President Barack Obama had been greeted with massive street protests when he waged war against Libya; that favoring that intervention had prevented Hillary Clinton from advancing past the Democratic primary; that the critics now threatening Trump with impeachment had cited his missile strikes on Syria as prominently as the claim that he obstructed justice; that the Democratic presidential candidates were excoriating Trump more for complicity in Saudi Arabia's dirty war in Yemen; and that street protesters were pressuring the White House with calls for the return home of all U.S. troops.
In this counterfactual universe of furious opposition to waging any war unlawfully, or launching any new wars of choice without demonstrating their necessity, Trump would be less likely to let hawks risk, let alone provoke, a major war. It is conceivable that he wouldn't have appointed the hawks in the first place, or that he would have long ago fired them or reined them in to offset their political cost. It is certain that anti-war voices would have mobilized earlier, in greater numbers, to speak out against the very first steps toward war with Iran.
Instead, doves in the White House were left to make speculative cases that war would hurt Trump politically rather than being able to point to a large anti-war faction, and significant backlash is coming only after a long series of needless escalations.
The dearth of an anti-war movement may even have delayed Trump's efforts to oppose his hawkish advisers––he reportedly said this week that he doesn't want war, according to an article that The New York Times published yesterday.
Let all this be a lesson.
The best insurance against a catastrophic war of choice, now and going forward, is a permanent anti-war movement that opposes all illegal or imprudent wars, insisting on public debates and congressional votes, no matter how small the conflict. If Americans attempt to mobilize against only the biggest, dumbest wars, they will not get organized until it's too late to stop some of them.

So, as a voluntary aided school, if we need to improve the school, or undertake basic repairs or add additional facilities, we need to find 10% of the cost ourselves. Many of you might not realise but, as a voluntary aided Catholic school, if we need to improve the school (undertake basic repairs or put in additional facilities), we must find ten percent of the overall costs ourselves.
At Christ the King we have been blessed over the years that facilities have been developed with the sacrifice, commitment and hard work of past and current families. Our school is now forty-six years old and, like our homes, needs repairing and maintaining.
We currently need a new roof over the Year 5/6 classrooms, as this part of the school is prone to leaks and is very cold and draughty, despite the heating. We put a bid in with Salford Diocese last year and we were unsuccessful.
The work to replace the roof will cost a substantial amount of money (Quote received over £90,000). Therefore, we need to raise money to cover some or all of this expense. One way you can support us, as parents, is to contribute to our Building Fund.
Most of the parents who contribute to the fund do so under the Gift Aid Scheme. Under this scheme the school can reclaim from the HMRC the basic rate tax you have already paid on your contribution. This increases the value of your contribution at no cost to you – for each £100 that we receive, the school claims back an additional £25! And if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim relief on the difference between the basic rate and the higher rate of tax.
The Gift Aid declaration form has been sent out at the beginning of this term, should you require a copy please email bursar@king-pri.lancs.sch.uk or pop into the school office.
Pay online on your children's account, pay all at once or just add £1 - £2 each time you pay lunches or extended day payments - it all adds up for us!
You may also pay in cash to the school office in any instalment which match your circumstances.
The school sends out letters to all parents and carers at the start of each academic year on the suggested voluntary contributions. Please contact the school office direct for details of the current contribution.


I found this on Rock on TV so I'm not sure if it's really official, but VR is scheduled to appear on Letterman on August 22nd.
Have a great Friday y'all!!
Hopefully it's as good as the Leno performance. Scott always sounds better when he hasn't been dancing and running around and singing for half an hour already, so he usually does well on TV appearances. Which is good, because I have yet to hear a live version of The Last Fight that is better than the album version.
I think exactly the contrary.
yes! finally they appear on a show i'm actually able to watch, lol. awesome. i'll have to tape it!
Is someone gonna post the video for those of us who can't see it? The Kimmel performance video quality is crap so does anyone have a good quality version for download for those of us who missed it?
Please guys help us desperate people out.
Why hasn't the BelowEmpty.com been posting any media for ages. I sent the webmaster a link to uploading.com that allows up to 100MB per upload so why hasn't the webmaster checked it out. I use that site and it is awesome.
Why don't you see them live instead of watching thm live on Youtube and you'll see exactly how well they The Last Fight?
I've seen them play it three times (starland, nokia, jones beach) and each time was better than the album version. You can actually hear the outtro solo from Slash when your there!
Just search on youtube, I'm sure someone will post it.
It's true Captain, I saw the pictures and I posted the interview on the Slash´s thread!
When do the musical acts play during Letterman????In the middle or end?
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! They sounded great and they looked AMAZING. Sadly, when I went back to watch the performance, my stupid Tivo just cut off the very ending... how obnoxious is that?!
Wow! That was a great performance! I liked all the black too!
Woo hoo!!! That was soooo cool - they looked and sounded AWESOME!!!
What did Dave say to Slash at the end there?
He said "Slash good to see you. Are you going hunting?"
Because of the riding jacket.
Ok, thanks, I'll have to check back later.
Right. That's a done deal then.
That was awesome! They sounded great. I'm going to sleep now. lol.
Slash made me smile with that peace sign at the end there and Duff was wearing a CBGB shirt.
It was good to see Scott smiling in the pics when they were entering the building.
No mention of single for TLF- just " grammy winning artist with new album Libertad".
Personally, I thought the performance was a bit flat compared to their others. I thought Scott was straining & Slash was back to just standing there. They looked supercooll though & Scott had some great moves- maybe they just had some road fatigue.
well TLF isint a song which makes you want to break walls or stomp on babies. It has a kindof chilled out feel to it.
I haven't seen the performance yet... hoping for a YouTube update soon.

A look at how some brands are responding to Covid-19.
Share on Twitter and LinkedIn
Covid-19 and its subsequent cultural impact is the biggest challenge facing brands and business in generations. The shutdown of the high street has sent ripples down the supply chain, while pulling the shutters down on our OOH and dining/drink establishments has put many businesses in jeopardy.
There's no doubt that the impact of the next few months will have a lasting legacy. And so will the actions taken by brands. Consumers aren't expecting a solution to all the worlds ails, but we've seen several brands really rise to the occasion. Offering smart, helpful and effective ideas that benefit people during these unprecedented times. Communicated in the right way, these can really boost the social proofing of a brand, putting them in a strong position once we return to something nearing 'normal'. Here are some of our favourite examples of brands going the extra mile from the last week:
While we're not popping for a post-work pint any time soon, once the landlords across the nation open their doors again, it's likely that Brewdog will be on the first stop for many. And that's because the brewer announced that it was making hand sanitiser at its distillery in Aberdeenshire, giving it away for free to those who need it. A bold and generous move that created a wave of positive coverage across national press and social media.
New Balance offered a similar solution, changing their production setup in order to create face masks for the US. Announced alongside a simple and effective social graphic, the firm stated that it was using its expertise and resources to support the significant demand for masks.
The grocery sector has been buoyed with British consumers making more than 79 million trips in the past four weeks, although this has brought several pressures on staffing and the supply chain. Morrisons has been on the front foot thanks to clear and frequent communication on social media, as well as some smart initiatives. Launching new simple-to-order food parcels, creating 3,500 new jobs and committing to paying all small suppliers immediately, the supermarket also pledged £10m worth of food to the UK's food banks, producing more fresh items specifically for this purpose.
Oatly has established itself as a household name in the past 12 months, largely in thanks to some very clever advertising comms. It's familiar down-to-earth and to-the-point tone of voice was once again on display as the brand reassured consumers, via its social channels, that production of the oat milk was running as normal. The posts also reiterated that people need not 'panic-buy' products, tapping into the community 'we're all in this together' spirit that we have seen over the last couple of weeks.
From the big to small responses, not every brand will be able to help in the same way. What people do want to see though is that the brands they love are genuinely trying to help during these trying times, not just jump on the bandwagon. By being open, honest and helpful where they can, brands that get it right, will see the benefits of consumer goodwill further down the line.

Nine British players certain of qualification for Tokyo
Francesca Bullock
Paralympic champions Will Bayley (men's class 7) and Rob Davies (men's class 1) and World champion Ross Wilson (men's class 8) are among nine British players confirmed by the ITTF as qualified for the Paralympic Games in Tokyo next year by virtue of their world ranking at the end of March 2020 or their status as regional champion.
With nine players Britain is second only to France (11) in the list of European countries with the most players qualified at this point and joint sixth in the world with Poland behind China (26), Korea (16) Australia (11), France and Brazil (10).
Megan Shackleton (women's class 4), Tom Matthews (men's class 1) and Joshua Stacey (men's class 9) have all qualified for their first Paralympic Games and the list also includes three-time Paralympians Paul Karabardak and David Wetherill (men's class 6) and London and Rio team bronze medallist Aaron McKibbin (men's class 8).
Jack Hunter-Spivey is currently first alternate in men's class 5 and together with Sue Gilroy (women's class 4), Fliss Pickard (women's class 6), Martin Perry (men's class 6), Billy Shilton (men's class 8), Ashley Facey Thompson (men's class 9) and Kim Daybell (men's class 10) can still qualify for Tokyo if further world ranking spots become available or they win their class at the World Qualification Tournament in Slovenia next April. BPTT can also apply for wild cards for athletes not already qualified.
Selection of the nine players for the Paralympic Games still has to be confirmed by the British Paralympic Association and the full team for Tokyo will not be announced until the end of April/beginning of May 2021.
"We have to be pleased to have nine players already qualified," said BPTT Performance Director Gorazd Vecko, "and congratulations to Megan Shackleton, Tom Matthews and Joshua Stacey who have qualified for their first Paralympic Games which is a great achievement. The qualification criteria for Tokyo is even tougher than in previous years and to have the second highest number of players already qualified in Europe and the sixth in the world is something we should be proud of and demonstrates the success of our programme."

Viber's Ukraine-based users have some serious cause for concern. The reason behind it lies in the fact that the company's servers were recently moved to Russia and Viber's Ukrainian supporters are now like a canary in a coalmine.
Viber users from Ukraine started thinking about switching to an alternative application right after Russia adopted the amendments to the Personal Data Law on September 1, 2015.
However, Elena Gracheva, Viber's Moscow official, dispelled all doubts and fears around the subject. She reported that the new law will apply only to Viber's Russian users, while citizens of other countries (including Ukraine) have nothing to worry about.
Elena Gracheva specified that only phone numbers and user handles are kept on Viber servers. She stressed that no correspondence is stored or transferred to Russia.
For the time being, Ukrainians don't have a legitimate reason to abandon their usual messaging app. Well, at least that will be the case until Ukraine decides to adopt similar legislation.
