Why does North uses Propaganda?
People have the power to overthrow the regime, whose only recourse is to keep them uneducated and docile. No matter how much military power the North Korean Communist Party has, if the people turn against their government, the government will fall. Once people are exposed to liberal or independent ideas, they can spread such ideas to others, who will then feel the limitation of the state and thus initiate a revolution. Furthermore, if people are educated, they will sense the indoctrinating effort of the ruling party and thus go against the party. Historically, dictators like Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and even Vladimir Lenin, were well-aware that the masses posed the greatest threat and that anti-intellectualism and indoctrination were crucial in maintaining dominance over them. Therefore, schools provided only fundamental education and taught youngsters to praise the state and its leader. Youth organizations like Hitlerjugend indoctrinated younger generations to become puppets of the state with no independent thoughts. Dictators know that indoctrination and controlling the flow of information are the only ways to maintain tight control over their people, and the way to indoctrinate people and manipulate information is to utilize propaganda.
How does North uses propaganda?
War propaganda was used frequently in the mid 1900s, but it is used quite often today to generate a war atmosphere in the country. As shown in the image, the propaganda portrays America as the country's prime enemy. The sense of emergency and danger generated by the propaganda provides good excuses for the party to exert greater control over its people. It also acts to rationalize Kim's plan to strengthen military instead of taking care of people's livelihood.
Loyalty Propaganda is often used to commemorate North's past leader Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jung-il. It often glorifies the policy/achievement of the party or the Kim's family.
The fear propaganda is usually distributed not through the common medium we think of but through the news media and through hearsay. The best example of a fear propaganda is Jang Song Thaek's (Kim Jung-Un's uncle) execution. Jang Song Thaek was Kim Jung Un's uncle and he was the main competitor of Kim Jung Un after Kim Jung-il's death. By executing Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jung-Un aroused great fear among the elites in North Korea, establishing himself as the unchallenged supreme authority. Usually, fear is spread through public execution of both well-known and unknown personnel. As the words of cruel execution are spread from mouth to mouth, people remain subordinate to the party.
Amity propaganda are used to emphasize the humanly aspect of Communist Party or the North Korean society. It often emphasizes the goods that the party has achieved for its people, or what Kim's family has done to help out the citizens. Just like any other propaganda, the amity propaganda may look natural but in fact contain artificial contents to over-emphasize the good deed of the leader and the party.

The First UK Exhibition by the Artist Encouraged to Paint by Lucian Freud and Damien Hirst Opens at Regent's Park Gallery Le Dame
GASPARE MANOS with MASQUE 1 to 10 Chateau de la Mesangere, France 2015
The Italian artist Gaspare Manos reinterprets a world lost in the 20s when Picasso experimented with the visual imagery of the African masks. Keith Haring,Howard Hodgkin,Damien Hirst and especially Lucien Freud encouraged him to paint and Rosa Maria Malet, Director of the Joan Miro Foundation wrote
"he is the heir to the great painting tradition of his country".
In a new art exhibition, titled Origins, at the Regent's Park new art gallery Le Dame which specialises in the best of Contemporary Italian Art, Manos presents a series of paintings using layers of pure ground pigment strongly influenced by his time spent in Nairobi. He transcends it and becomes a shaman where rituals of fertility, creativity and protection, perhaps from the evil, take place. The viewer is invited to go back to their primitive roots, to go back to basics, to the important, to the crucial; to what matters most in life. Gaspare's paintings achieve a sense of space and three-dimensionality where everyone is absorbed into another dimension. An open window to other realities.
The exhibition is displayed from 8th October to the 5th November 2015 at the Albany Foyer, Meliá White House, Regent's Park, London. Cristina Cellini Antonini and Chiara Canal, founders and co-directors at Le Dame Art Gallery
Le Dame Art Gallery is honoured to be hosting the first UK solo exhibition by artist Gaspare. He is an artist of reminiscence as his works are vivid and powerful memories of a journey rich in encounters and experiences. He therefore speaks a universal language, sharing a global emotional memory with the viewer through the canvas.
MASQUE 9 -60x80cm – oil paint, pure pigments, wood on canvas – 2012-14
Miguel Mallol, has kindly agreed to respond to the following questions:
Can you please tell us a bit about your background?
After completing my degree in the History of Art in Valencia in 2002, I moved to Venice where I pursued a grant at the historical institution the Querini Stampalia Foundation. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of artists and become involved in the Venice cultural environment. This gave me the chance to curate small exhibitions for emerging artists and work in Matteo Lo Greco's Art Gallery, helping him in the organisation of "L'aoristico" a solo exhibition in the Galleria Internazionale di Ca' Pesaro in Venice. I returned to Spain in 2005, where I worked as an independent curator and collaborated with "El Mundo" newspaper in its cultural department. In 2007, I went back to Venice where I met Gaspare. I worked as his PA as well as collaborated on other projects such as "Urbis" at the Museo Diocesano in Venice. Since my arrival in London, my aim has been to understand the art mechanism in one of the most relevant cities in the world for contemporary art in order to carve a place in this competitive environment. Currently, I write about contemporary art for several specialised websites and catalogues, manage Le Dame Art Gallery's 2015 exhibition programme, and oversee several independent projects in the UK and abroad.
Why have you decided to curate a solo show by Manos?
There are some artists that I have a special appreciation for because of the quality of their work or sometimes because they have been important to me in a particular way. From our collaboration and time spent together, I thought for a long time that it would be perfect to complete this period with a Gaspare solo exhibition curated by me. I am sure it won't be the last that we will do together, but this is like closing a stage and also opening a new and challenging one.
Do you personally know him? What is he like?
I had the chance to spend time with him at his studio in Venice. We talked often, discussed loads of things and I had the opportunity to learn from the artist and get to know the person a little bit better. He has the methodical strategies of a broker within an artistic and exceptionally creative mind. His art is his life and vice versa. He knows that has things to say and you can see this in his paintings. Sometimes they are ironic, sometimes biting and most of the time purely realistic…
Where does the title Origins come from?
He has lived in several countries and it has given him a broad experience of cultures and societies but there is something inherent in his paintings, drawings and installations: the phenomenology. It is the roots behind the events that act like a mask; he looks beyond the first impression to uncover the origins underneath. The mask is an important element for him because it represents the African and Venetian traditions, two crucial places in his life. He has a collection of African masks that were his inspiration for the paintings displayed in this show and as he said "…it is especially relevant to remember the past to understand the present".
What is your next project?
Until the end of the year, part of Gaspare's exhibition opens on the 13th of October, and I have the PV with colour and sound performance of "Unexpected. Play the colour of movement", an interactive art installation by Max Ciogli at Core@Nolias Art Gallery. At Le Dame Art Gallery, we will have two solo exhibitions: "Eden" by Rafal Zawistowski in November and the 2015 Exhibition Programme will close in December with "Toys", Rubén Fuentes Fuertes' first solo show in London.
Origins 8th October – 5th November 2015 Le Dame Art Gallery at Meliá White House Albany Street, Regent's Park NW1 3UP London www.ledameartgallery.com

Scott Morrison declares victory in tight Australia election
Addis Ababa, May 18, 2019 (FBC) – Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declared victory in the country's federal elections after his Liberal-National coalition defied the polls and secured a surprise win over the opposition Labor Party.
Morrison, who had campaigned on providing tax cuts and the enduring resilience of Australia's economy, claimed the win shortly after Labor's Bill Shorten conceded defeat on Saturday.
Thanking supporters at a party in Sydney, Morrison said: "I have always believed in miracles."
While the Liberal-led conservative coalition scored more seats in the House of Representatives than Labor, it was unclear whether they won an outright majority of 76 seats or if they will need to negotiate with the cross bench to form a minority government.
Projections by the Australian Electoral Commission showed the ruling coalition winning 67 seats to Labor's 55.
Shorten, speaking to party supporters in Melbourne, conceded defeat saying it was "obvious that Labor will not be able to form the next government".
The opposition leader said he had called Morrison to offer congratulations.
He also said he would not contest Labor's next vote for party leader, and urged supporters to "carry on the fight".
Australia has had six changes of prime minister over the past 12 years – mostly the result of internal party fights. Shorten had sold his party as a chance to escape the "chaos" of the ruling coalition and to create a fairer Australia.

Happy New Year – Again?
Yes, again! China is celebrating the Year Of The Dragon starting today, and we all wish them health, success and good fortune this year. Some of you may be wondering what the big deal is all about, so here are a few reasons why this Year Of The Dragon is so special for us, as well.
First, I expect 2012 to be a year where we Americans continue to climb higher up the economic slope and regain more of what has been lost since 2008. Dragons can help do that. They are a symbol of good fortune and a sign of power in the Zodiac, and like our friends in China – we need to see Dragons as 'good guys' who are fearless and rise to tough challenges.
Dragons make good leaders because they tend to be successful; they question 'the rules'. Most Dragons also trust their instincts and open their minds to creative ways of solving problems. Dragons also have a 'soft' side as well – they like to attract others to build relationships. If YOU have been fortunate enough to be born a Dragon…. congratulations! Happy New Year! And may your year be healthy, prosperous and fun! I, for one, look forward to 2012 to be an even better year than 2011….and I know it will be with all of you Dragons out there.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Kassyanov
Mikhail Kassyanov (2015)
Michail Michailowitsch Kassyanow ( Russian Михаил Михайлович Касьянов ; born December 8, 1957 in Solnzewo , now in Moscow ) is a Russian politician. From May 2000 to February 2004 he was Prime Minister of Russia .
1.1 Education and career as a government official
1.2 Appointment as Minister of Finance
1.3 Promotion to Prime Minister
1.4 Activity as an opposition politician
1.5 Family matters
Education and career as a government official
Kasyanov graduated in 1983 from the Moscow Technical University of automotive and transport (abbreviated MADI , Russ. Московский автомобильно-дорожный институт / МАДИ ) and began his career in the late 70s as a technician and later as an engineer at Gosplan of the Soviet Union . There he also received an additional qualification in economics, so that in 1990 he switched to the state foreign trade authority. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the reorganization of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Russian Federation, he became head of department there, specializing primarily in the area of the foreign debt of the Russian state. From 1995 to 1999 he was the first Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation.
Appointment as Minister of Finance
After Sergei Stepashin took office as head of government in May 1999, Kassyanov became Russian finance minister when the new cabinet was formed and retained this post as Prime Minister even after Stepashin was replaced by Vladimir Putin .
Promotion to Prime Minister
After Putin took over the presidency on December 31, 1999, Putin appointed him incumbent Prime Minister. On May 17, 2000, a few days after Putin was sworn in as President, Kassyanov was officially appointed Russian Prime Minister.
Kassyanov's policy as head of government was considered relatively liberal. His relationship with state power deteriorated after he criticized the arrest of Plato Lebedev , who was one of the board members of the Yukos oil company , along with Mikhail Khodorkovsky , who had also been arrested , as "excessive" in 2003 . In February 2004, a few weeks before the presidential elections , Kassyanov and his cabinet were sacked by Putin's decree. Mikhail Fradkov took up the post of head of government .
Activity as an opposition politician
Kassyanov at the memorial march for the murdered opposition politician Boris Nemtsov in 2015
About a year after his release, Kassyanov drew attention to himself in the Russian public through several appearances in which he criticized Putin's policies as authoritarian and announced that he would run against Putin in the next presidential election. In April 2006 he took over the chairmanship of a liberal political organization called the People's Democratic Union . In the same year he joined the opposition movement The Other Russia and was traded for a time as its possible presidential candidate. In spring 2007 he took part in the so-called March of the Dissatisfied in Moscow alongside Garry Kasparov . On the fringes of this demonstration, he escaped arrest only through the use of his bodyguards.
In July 2007, Kassyanov left The Other Russia and founded a new party called The People for Democracy and Justice (Russian Народ за демократию и справедливость ).
In December 2007 he was run as a candidate for the 2008 presidential election . On January 15, 2008, Kassyanov's campaign headquarters in Moscow announced that there were 2.2 million signatures for the presidential candidacy, far more than necessary.
The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation announced on January 27, 2008 that 13.38 percent of the support signatures for Kassyanov were incorrect. The electoral law only allows an error rate of 5 percent. Therefore, he was not allowed to vote for the president. The attorney general's office opened a fraud case against the campaign bureau Kassyanov. He will forego a lawsuit because the Russian courts are not independent. Kassyanov called the Russian government totalitarian and called for a boycott of the presidential elections.
As a representative for the Russian People's Democratic Union (RNDS) , which he headed, Kassyanov was co-founder and chairman of the now defunct Party of People's Freedom . This party served as a reservoir for four different opposition movements (including Solidarnost ) and planned to take part in the 2011 Duma elections, but this did not materialize.
In an interview with the weekly newspaper Die Zeit in March 2015, Kasyanov called on the West to stand firm on President Putin during the Ukraine crisis and to maintain the sanctions against Russia, otherwise the West would have to pay a much higher price later.
Because of his strict anti-Putin stance, Kassyanov experienced direct hostility from Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov . In February 2016, Kadyrov showed Kassyanov together with Vladimir Kara-Mursa in a video published on his Instagram page in the crosshairs of a rifle with the text: "If you haven't got it, you'll get it now". Kassyanov described the video as a direct death threat. Only a few days later, he was most likely attacked by Kadyrov supporters in a Moscow restaurant.
Kassyanov is married and has two daughters.

A New Perspective
Similar to the Victorian building John Fullerton's office is located in, John himself is bringing to the table an antiquated approach to Eureka's issues. At John Fullerton's launch party, Rex Bohn and Eureka Mayor Frank Jager were on hand to chide Austin Allison for his attempts: calling him a rookie and dissuading young advocates from getting involved in our political process.
I, for one, believe strongly that Austin Allison can bring to the table a fresh perspective. He was on the front line for the fight for fair wages at St. Joseph Hospital. Austin's commitment to this community has already been seen first-hand. With his support from the North Coast People's Alliance, and people like myself, we can be the change we want to see.
Tiva M. Insolo, Eureka
It's never been clearer, on either a national or a local level, that the people are ready for change. Our old ways of doing business aren't cutting it, and we need fresh ideas to move forward as a more just and equitable society.
John Fullerton represents an antiquated and outdated philosophy – one that thinks it's just hunky-dory to go along with the 1 percent continuing to get richer and make all the decisions, on the backs of the hard work of the 99 percent. He's extremely conservative and a former chair of the Republican Central Committee. Fullerton's been publicly quoted as thinking that the recommendation of our local Human Rights Commission to offer an option for legally recognized same-sex domestic partnerships was "unthinkable."
What's unthinkable to me is the idea that we would elect this kind of person as a leader of our city. Austin Allison will be getting my vote this Nov. 8. www.VoteAustinEureka.org.
Allen McCloskey, Eureka
Our county and city leadership has too often been dominated by hand-picked, corporate-friendly candidates. Their vote for big business interests perpetuates the cycle of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. It is time for our elected leaders to act to protect the rights of the working people and the environment, which provides us life.
It's time for a fresh voice rising up from a new generation of Eureka residents and representing all the people who understand that the old ways of doing business are not working and won't serve the people or the planet moving into the future.
Eureka City Council candidate Austin Allison is that voice. Austin understands that we need government that works for everyone, not just a select few. Austin is courteous, open, realistic and innovative. As a homeowner in Eureka, I feel confident Austin will work hard to keep Eureka improving by representing, protecting and lifting up working class individuals and promoting small, local businesses.
Please vote for Austin Allison this Nov. 8!
Joan Dixon, Bayside
Austin Allison, candidate for Eureka City Council, understands the needs of working people and small businesses in our community, and he will fight to defend our best interests. Austin's genuine enthusiasm and unique perspective will bring practical new ideas and refreshing energy to the Eureka City Council.
As you can probably guess, his opponent has a substantial financial advantage. With support from big business and the 1-percenters, he will certainly outspend Austin. But Austin has a different advantage — he's a caring, compassionate and capable person who truly wants to serve and represent the people. Please join me in supporting Austin's campaign by volunteering, donating, and/or displaying a sign in your yard.
With our support, Austin can win this city council seat and prove that our local government is not owned by a select few, but that it can truly work for all of us if we stand together.

Well here it is...the first snow map for winter 2014-2015. I wouldn't typically make one for flurries...but it is the first event of the season and I haven't got to make one in almost 8 months (and I was pretty bored in class). Bottom line with this storm: it won't be a big deal at all. The area highlighted in light blue has the best chance at seeing light snow showers/flurries before precipitation comes to an end overnight...even here-not everyone will see flakes. The darker shading of blue is where I can see up to a quick coating of snow possible. This is most likely across the highest elevations of Massanutten Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, especially the area between Swift Run Gap up towards between Front Royal and Linden (including the Shenandoah National Park). Out towards I-95, it's going to be a race between cold air arriving and precipitation coming to an end...so not completely out of the question but more unlikely.
The bigger story will be the cold, arctic air on tap for Friday. The combination of high temperatures struggling to make it out of the 30s and winds gusting up to 20 mph will make it feel like it's in the mid 20s for much of the day across western Virginia. We'll moderate a bit Saturday before another system swings through Sunday into Monday. Right now, this is looking like mostly rain across the Valley...mixing with snow across the higher elevations of West Virginia. I'll have an update on it sometime tomorrow. For those that see flakes tonight, enjoy!
*Interesting Note: Harrisonburg has only seen November accumulating snow 1 time in the past 15 years (2008). That winter (08-09) ended up well below normal in terms of snowfall with just 12.2" recorded.

10 ways John McCain was an imperialist murderer
Jesse Nevel
The devastating effects of "agent orange" in Vietnam lead by U.S. imperialist airstrikes from warmonger pilots like John McCain
Don't miss the 7th Congress of the APSP, October 6-12!
John McCain is dead. The Arizona senator─who devoted his entire adult life to "serving" the U.S. imperialist project of slaughtering oppressed peoples and seizing their lands─died of cancer at 81.
The U.S. media and political establishment are virtually deifying the late warmonger, celebrating him as a "war hero," a "maverick" who "served his country" from his time as a soldier in Vietnam to his two decades on the senate floor.
The odes persist days later from the mouths of nearly every spokesperson of U.S. imperialism, from the bereaved pundits of Fox News to the neocolonial Barack Obama, the former president who ran against McCain in 2008.
The glorification of McCain is not simply a product of basic U.S. patriotism; Chairman Omali Yeshitela points out that it is also a calculated political move by the bourgeois media in the midst of a deepening crisis and splits within the white capitalist ruling class.
Every McCain tribute is meant to undermine U.S. president Donald Trump, who notably feuded with the senator during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump ridiculed McCain's reputation as a "war hero," stating: "Oh, he's a war hero because was captured. I like the ones who weren't captured."
McCain can only be considered a hero to the imperialists. To the rest of us, he was anything but a hero.
To the Vietnamese, Arabs and Africans of the world, that spiteful, glowering face represented not heroism, but the cruel violence of imperial state power.
Let's take a look at ten times McCain proved his credentials as an arch-imperialist warmonger and mass murderer.
1.The bombing of 30,000 Vietnamese
As a young man, McCain began his career as an active agent of imperialist white power when he signed up to enlist in in the genocidal war and invasion of Vietnam.
McCain flew the A4E Skyhawk airplane in the 1965-68 bombing campaign called Rolling Thunder that exterminated 30,000 Vietnamese human beings.
Three million Vietnamese were murdered by the U.S. before the war finally ended with a crushing defeat for the Americans in 1975.
The burning of children, the obliteration of entire villages, and the dropping of over 400,000 tons of napalm by baby-killers like McCain could not stop the will of the Vietnamese Revolution to fight and win.
2. Destruction of civilian power plant in Hanoi
In 1967, McCain as a pilot rained death and destruction down on a civilian power plant in Hanoi, shortly before the Vietnamese revolutionaries shot his plane out of the sky and took him captive.
Although McCain later alleged (without any evidence) that he had been subject to torture at the hands of the Vietnamese fighters, the fact that McCain even survived his captivity is a testament to the clemency of the Vietnamese.
These starving, colonized people, waging a righteous anti-colonial struggle for national liberation, would have had every right to extinguish the genocidaire on the spot.
Alas, McCain came out of captivity fatter and healthier than he was when his plane crashed and then shamelessly milked his phony persona as a so-called "prisoner of war" to advance his political career for over three decades.
With regards to the millions of Vietnamese dead, mutilated, disfigured by Agent Orange and Napalm, McCain was unambiguous: "I hated the gooks, and I will hate them as long as I live" were his exact words to a Rolling Stone reporter in 1973.
3. Backing the contras in Nicaragua
When McCain decided to enter politics, he was rabidly eager to expand the imperialist reach of the U.S., and he ran for senate in the 1980s and immediately sprang into action to lobby for support of the CIA-backed Contras in Nicaragua, who burned villages and committed atrocities to undermine the progressive Sandinista government.
4. The invasion of Iraq
McCain supported every single war of occupation that came before the senate for a vote. Iraq was no exception.
In the 1990s, he supported the Persian Gulf war and he backed the devastating sanctions that resulted in the deaths by starvation of over half of a million Iraqi children.
These 500,000 dead Iraqi children later inspired the notorious remarks by secretary of state Madeleine Albright that "the price [of 500,000 dead Iraqi children] was worth it."
McCain voted for the Iraq War Resolution in October 2002 and was one of the first, the day after the September 11 attacks in New York, to argue for the invasion of not only Iraq, but also of Syria, Iran, Libya, "perhaps North Korea, and others."
The death toll since the invasion of Iraq is in the millions. The U.S. military's "shock and awe" tactics of dropping millions of tons of bombs including chemical weapons like white phosphorus on the Iraqi people have reduced entire cities to rubble and permanently disfigured thousands of Iraqi children.
Today under U.S. president Trump, the genocidal campaign of mass murder in Iraq continues unabated.
5. The invasion of Afghanistan
McCain backed the invasion of Afghanistan. Since the 2001 invasion, the U.S. army has slaughtered nearly half a million Afghan people and forced thousands into torture camps to be sadistically abused and mutilated by vicious U.S. soldiers.
McCain pretended to oppose torture and feigned outrage at the atrocities in Iraq and Afghan detention camps, but he supported the Bush policies that legalized the use of "extraordinary rendition," a euphemism for torture.
In 2018, McCain even presented his own proposal to senate for increasing U.S. presence there when he felt Trump─who dropped "the mother of all bombs" on the besieged country last summer─was not being "tough enough" on Afghanistan.
6. The invasion of Syria
McCain was among those who led the charge on the U.S. war on the people and government of Syria with the regime change agenda of overthrowing the democratically elected Bashar al Assad.
McCain traveled to Syria to meet with the CIA-backed "rebel groups" who achieved notoriety for marauding Syrian cities and spilling the blood of children and women.
Over the past three years, U.S. imperialism has reduced a once-stable country to a state of chaos and contrived sectarian violence.
7. The invasion of Libya
McCain was the most vocal supporter of U.S. military aggression against the people and government of Libya.
Libya was the latest to fall victim to a strategy McCain had previously referred to as "rogue-state rollback," in which the U.S. would "arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow governments…"
Under the guise of supporting a popular mobilization of the Libyan people against tyranny, the U.S. government under Barack Hussein Obama armed and funded anti-Gadaffi forces with the clear-cut goal of overthrowing the Libyan Jamahiriya government that had raised that country to the highest standard of living of any country in Africa.
Gadaffi, although a petty bourgeois nationalist, was still too independent for the United States to tolerate, with his history of supporting Palestinians and others in fighting against U.S. imperialism and Zionism.
In his capacity as the senior Republican on the senate armed services committee, McCain flew to Libya and shook hands with the "opposition leaders" there who were CIA and NATO-backed reactionary mercenaries who raped, murdered and maimed Libyan people including putting Africans into cages and torturing them.
These same "rebels" later captured, raped and murdered the popular Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi and published the grisly video on YouTube.
Upon the release of this hideous footage, the secretary of state Hillary Clinton laughed and shouted, "We came! We saw! He's dead!"
McCain hailed these brute mercenaries as "heroes."
Today the Libyan people suffer the hideous consequences of the U.S. war with the country plunged into incessant factionalism, violence and terror.
8. Iran
When McCain ran for president in 2008 during a campaign rally, one of his constituents asked if him if he had any message he would want to send to the people of Iran. McCain smirked and began singing, "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran! Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran!" to the tune of a Beach Boys song.
McCain's determination to bomb Iran went beyond mere jest, of course. McCain advocated U.S. invasion of the Islamic country that had achieved independence and liberated itself from CIA-backed tyranny of the brutal Shah in the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
McCain met with reactionary opposition groups there such as the MEK and reacted to a report of rising U.S. cigarette exports to the country by saying it may be "a way of killing 'em."
9. Yemen
Five years battling brain cancer did not stop McCain from championing yet another new front of U.S. imperial war, practically from his deathbed—this time against the people and government of Yemen.
Carried out primarily through the U.S. proxy in the form of the neocolonial regime of Saudi Arabia, the U.S.-Saudi-Israeli war against the "Houthi people" has led to the deaths of over 50,000 Yemeni people.
The Houthis are Yemenis fighting for independence, with support from the government of Iran.
McCain said that Saudi war on Yemen was a godsend and that Yemen would be a "catastrophe" without Saudi Arabia.
10. War against the entire planet Earth
Mali, Nigeria, Libya, Kuwait, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia, Russia, China, and North Korea are among the countries to which McCain pushed for U.S. military invasion.
African Internationalism arms us to understand that McCain's advocacy of endless U.S. war was not a representation of imperialist strength, but of its desperate weakness in the face of the growing resistance of anti-imperialist struggle worldwide.
McCain's bloodlust was reflective of a dying, but not yet dead, system built on slavery, genocide and colonialism which as Chairman Omali Yeshitela has stated, is undergoing its death throes as a consequence of the anti-colonial fight-back of the oppressed peoples of the world.
The ultimate victory of the struggles of the world's colonized masses will push imperialism into its grave, vindicating the suffering of every Vietnamese, African, Arab, Iranian, and Pakistani person who ever had to face a bombshell, gun blast or napalm explosion as a consequence of buttons pushed or votes passed by the late senator John McCain.
Join us in St. Louis, Missouri for the Seventh Congress of the APSP October 6-12!

"At ZeroCater we get to talk about delicious food all day . . . at our desk, in conference rooms, and around the lunch table," stated Jaaj. "It's a product that instantly makes people feel good, so it's hard not to be excited when thinking about how we can continue to make our product, and workers' meals, better."
Jaaj will propel ZeroCater's mission in his new role as vice president of product and engineering, where he will be responsible for building the company's next generation of technology products that power its snacks and catering businesses.

If Twitter exploding into madness Thursday night didn't tip you off, "Views" has indeed landed. And spanning 20 songs and almost an hour and a half, its arrival is sending Drizzy diehards into a tailspin. With such an album that has generated a nearly unprecedented amount of hype over the course of several months, the impulse is to consume the album immediately upon its release. The reality is, it take a few days or weeks to fully process this album. On the flip side, it is easier to identify the most clever, insightful, memorable lyrical moments. Here are six standouts.
"Views" is Drake's party from start to finish. But OVO Sound signee PartyNextDoor almost steals this yearning love letter as the pair team up to chart the heartache of watching their women walk away, his deep melodic tones lending the song a sensual bedrock. "It's about us right, now, girl," he croons, ready to commit. "Where you going?" The album sways back and forth from rap to R&B, and this is one of the tightest offerings in the latter category.
Few would dispute that Drake knows how to tell a story. And this recollection of a petty lover's quarrel at — where else? — a Cheesecake Factory is one of the Drakiest ballads we've heard in quite some time. "Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake?" he raps, legitimately (and somewhat hilariously) inflamed. "You know I love to go there." Enlisting a terrific New Orleans bounce sample, he seems caught between being relatable and ridiculous, which might very well be the Drake aesthetic.

WE LOVE RAPID RIVET!!! In my daily purchasing adventures, I deal with vendors that I would rather stick needles in my eyes than to have to give them business. Rapid Rivet is not one of them. All the R.R. CSR's are pleasant, helpful and they don't make me feel like they're doing me a favor by taking my call. FRQ's are always processed with a sense of urgency. We may not be they're biggest customer, but they absolutely make us feel like #1. On-time deliveries and quality product is something we take for granted with Rapid Rivet.
R.R is a great supplier to work with. I deal with vendors that I would rather stick needles in my eyes than to have to give them business. All the R.R.

Rapid Rivet is my best source for MS type rivets and fasteners.
I believe you should respond to all your RFQ's and not just the ones you want. Many times I never receive a quotation back nor am I notified. I am not sure how to perceive your lack of notifications on quotes. I feel like it is not important to you. I wonder then did you get my quote, did you have stock or what the deal is. I am hoping I am not just being ignored and my RFQ just thrown in the trash from the beginning. As I said, not sure how to perceive lack of notifications... positive? negative? The feeling is unsettling. Other than that part your company is great to deal with and my experiences have always been positive. I believe your company is awesome to deal with but I don't understand the lack of RFQ responses.
Response time is always stellar.
Rapid Rivet is a very reliable company. Great service, great product, friendly people.
Borris did a great job getting the quotes back to me, and we hope to turn them into orders in the near future.
Customer services above and beyond the industry standard. Michael and team are awesome!
Good service, Thank you !
Always a very good response time and very helpful folks. I usually deal with Kevin Coles and he's always very helpful.
I am the Account Manager for a handful of accounts, I cannot speak for any of the other Account Managers here. My responsibility is to get quotes for my accounts in order to quote their requirements. If the quote is acceptable, I forward it to the purchasing department to place the order.
Always call Rapid first when I have a need for rivets.

Zucchini on Zucchini. | Eat More Plants.
It's amazing how you can set your watch (or calendar really) by the different sunflower blooms. These giant stripe sunflowers bloom the day before labor day every year. Like clockwork! I love it.
Even though summer is coming to an end, I still have massive amounts of zucchini. I decided to make fritters, which are a favorite treat in my house, and also dip the blossoms in the fritter batter and fry those as well.
Fritter batters can be very versatile. The recipe I use is from a Martha Stewart magazine that I've had for eons…I use eggs for mine (most of the time) just because I collect about a dozen a day from my hens and I like to use them if I can.
Squeeze some liquid out of the grated zucchini, using a paper towel or a clean dish towel.
Mix zucchini with the eggs and oil.
Add remaining ingredients except flour.
Now add the flour a little at a time, so as not to create clumps.
Add a few tablespoons of oil to the hot pan.
Test the readiness of the pan by adding a tablespoon of batter and seeing if it immediately starts sizzling. Do not begin adding more until you see that the pan is up to temperature.
Add about 3-4 tablespoons of batter at a time and let the bottom brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip once sufficiently brown and lower heat a little. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from pan and place on paper towel lined plates to collect any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and fresh cracked pepper, also lemon if desired.
Add more oil to the pan as necessary while cooking each batch.
If you're going to try frying the blossoms dipped in batter, pour a little extra oil in the pan so the the blossoms cook all the way through and flip onto each side to brown evenly. Cook these a little longer than the fritters so you don't end up with a mushy inside.


HEADBLADE TRAVEL CASE (EMPTY) – HeadBlade Canada Inc.
The HeadBlade Travel Case looks and feels like a nice rugged-camera-bag-inspired HeadBlade case.
Made of a hard shell which is zippered for easy access.
The little webbed net will hold a HeadSlick sample and there are additional elasticized hold downs for an extra blade and adaptor.
If you ask our CSO (Chief Shaving Officer) what he hides in his Travel Case, you would be surprised to hear that he keeps his ATX razor, a HeadSlick sample, refill blade, an adaptor, and still has room for his car keys! All in the zippered case. He also has a second fully stocked Travel Case in his gym bag, just so that he doesn't have to remember to take his razor with him so early in the morning.

In the law, a jury is a body of citizens in a common law jurisdiction which decides questions of fact in a legal case. The members of a jury are known as jurors.
In the US, the term can refer to a grand jury which issues an indictment or a petit jury which is present at a trial. When used alone the term usually refers to the latter.
In the United States, England and Scotland, defendants in most serious criminal cases have a right to trial by jury, although in practice most criminal actions in the US are resolved by plea bargain.
Juries are also used in many civil cases in the United States, and the United States Constitution explicitly protects the right to a jury in civil as well as criminal cases. In criminal cases, the right to a jury trial belongs to the defendant; if the defendant decides he or she is likely to do better without a jury, the prosecution cannot insist on one.
In English law, juries are only used in civil cases for criminal libel, or in some cases where the state is the defendant, such as some cases of wrongful imprisonment.
In most criminal justice systems which require juries, panels are initially selected at random from the adult populace. Individuals once selected are required by law to serve, often with exemptions for people whose job in some way precludes them (for instance, teachers, doctors, or people who themselves work in the criminal justice system), are caring for young children, or who have health problems. Most jurisdictions also limit jury service to citizens.
Jurors are then allocated to particular trials by a system of examination known as voir dire whereby both the prosecution (or plaintiff, in a civil case) and defense can object to a juror. Some jurisdictions give both the defense and prosecution a specific number of unconditional peremptory challenges, while most allow argument over whether a juror's particular background or beliefs make them unsuitable for service on the jury. Typically, there are twelve members of a jury panel, sometimes with a number of "alternates" who follow the trial but are not included in the deliberations unless a jury member is unable to continue for some reason.
In most civil law systems, a jury is not used, although lay assessors perform many of the functions of juries in some systems. In the US, juries are used in civil trials. In Japan, the post-war constitution guarantees the right to trial by jury, although this right is almost never used because it is believed that anyone who is desperate enough to want to have fellow citizens decide their fate is almost certainly guilty of the crime that they are charged with.
The jurors then hear the cases presented by both the defense and prosecution, and in some jurisdictions a summing-up from the judge. They then retire as a group to consider a verdict in secret, which they must reach unanimously in US criminal cases. On the rare occasions when no unanimous decision can be reached by the jury, a mistrial is declared, and the case must be retried with a newly constituted jury.
Some jurisdictions allow majority verdicts in criminal cases if a juror becomes unfit to continue, or if a judge permits it when a jury is deadlocked. At least 10 jurors must agree. Other than that, there are no restrictions on how a jury may proceed to reach such a verdict, and no set time limit. Occasionally juries deliberate for several days.
In the United States, some juries are also empowered to consider some aspects of a defendant's sentence, if the defendant has been convicted. This is notably the case in some death penalty cases. This is not the practice in most other legal systems based on the English tradition, in which judges retain sole responsibility for deciding sentences according to law.
The exception is the award of damages in English law libel cases, although a judge is now obliged to make a recommendation to the jury as to the appropriate amount.
The term "jury" is also used for groups of judges who decide on awards in various artistic areas, notably writing and film.
The period between 1830-1850 was when the modern adversarial jury trial took shape. See: D. J. A. Cairns, Advocacy and the Making of the Adversarial Criminal Trial, 1800-1865 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1998)

Lexy here, and I've been mulling over how to make my beautiful, handmade clothes last as long as possible. After all, who wants to spend that long searching for the perfect pattern and fabric combo, sewing it up with love, just for it to fall apart in the wash?
Always keep a needle and thread to hand – especially near where you do laundry. This way, if you come across a little rip or tear when sorting washing, you can sort it out pronto!
Clothing smelling a bit iffy? Don't wash it just yet – fill a spray bottle with cheap vodka (or expensive, if you're fancy!) and get spritzing. Leave to dry, and your clothing will be good to go (and don't worry, don't soak your clothing and you won't smell like alcohol!).
How's your denim doing? The sturdy fibres can break down with prolonged washing, so pop your dirty denim (such as this beaut Miette skirt) in the freezer. The cold atmosphere gets rid of funny smells, and eradicates the need to put them through the gruelling hot wash. Jenny told me about this one when she popped by to say hello at the Knitting and Stitching show, and I haven't forgotten it!
This may sound silly, but have you thought about how you're hanging your home-made threads? Using those naff wire hangers that come from the dry cleaners might seem cost effective, but your clothes can stretch and drag over time. Invest in some hangers with wider shoulders so that your clothes hold their shape in storage, and continue looking fab when worn.
Demystify those care labels on shop-bought clothing. Does anyone else get majorly confused by all of those confusing symbols on the care label of clothing you've bought? (This lovely top is from when Tilly taught us to Hand Paint a Breton Top). Love Your Clothes have put together a handy guide to figure out what they mean, so you can avoid shrinking that favourite skirt. Check it out!
I hope this has got you thinking about how you care for your clothes. Head over to the Love Your Clothes website for more tips and tricks on prolonging your clothing, and let us know if you have any novel ideas for caring for your clothes in the comments below!

Q: Why is the identity permutation in $A_n$? I just have small question about the proof. In order to show that $A_{n}\leq S_{n}$ one has to (among other things) show that the identity element $\varepsilon$ in $S_{n}$ is also the identity element in $A_{n}$. Now, when I'm reading of the notes from my professor he just writes

Identity: Clear, since $\varepsilon =\bigl( 1 2 \bigr)\bigl( 2 1 \bigr)$.

I dont understand what he means when he writes this. I would instead argue that $\varepsilon \in S_{n}$ is always an even permutation since it can be written as $0$ transpositions and $0$ is even. Thus $\varepsilon\in A_{n}$. Is this a valid argument?

A: Both answers are fine. I think that your justification is the better one, but you have to admit that, indeed, $\varepsilon=(1\ \ 2)(2\ \ 1)$ and that this equality also proves that $\varepsilon\in A_n$. Also, some beginners may find it hard to understand the idea that $\varepsilon$ is the composition of $0$ transpositions.

Pre-Columbian stone figures with 'mysterios markings' point to 'lost...
A puzzling cache of stone figures covered in mysterious symbols could be the first evidence of a «lost civilisation».
The mystery carvings could hold the key to a lost civilisation
[Credit: University of Haifa]
The bizarre figurines were first discovered in the 19th century by a local monk who claimed he was led to the «secret stash» by a dying woman who lived in a hut in the Puerto Rican mountains.
It was previously believed the figurines may have been created as a hoax by the monk, however archaeologists at Israel's University of Haifa have recently discredited this theory.
Using microscopic testing, they have been able to confirm the statuettes were carved in the later 14th or early 15th century.
"To date, we have not found any similar carved stone art objects from this region of America, and this is why many researchers assumed that they must be fake,» researcher Dr Iris Groman-Yaroslavsky said.

«However, the microscopic tests we performed show beyond any doubt that the stones were carved around 600 years ago.»
According to the research, the stones were «unequivocally carved in ancient times».
«Under the microscope, we can see the erosion of the stones and the brown-grey patina that is typically found when items have been buried or exposed to the ravages of nature for extensive periods,» he explained.
«The items are made from a mineral that was originally a greenish black, but the erosion covers the engravings across the entire item, and there is no evidence of any modern manipulation that would have exposed the natural surface of the mineral.

«The processing marks on the items show that special chiselling tools were used, and all the items appear to share a unique style.»
Researchers also found the objects had previously been coated in red paint and gold — a fact supporting evidence the stones were produced locally, as gold and ochre mines can both be found in Puerto Rico.
While the discovery still puzzles researchers, they will continue to investigate «the existence of a previously unknown pre-Columbian civilisation waiting to be uncovered».
