Q: How to sort table rows using Javascript Description
Table rows must be swapped at arbitrary positions in the table, i.e. row i and row j must change positions, where i and j are not necessarily adjacent. See current implementation below. Table rows should be sorted by column; a column is specified by sort_index which is generated by pressing one of the table headers.
The problem with the implementation is that the table is sorted incrementally by each click of a header, while it should be sorted by a single click.
var table_index = {
    watched: 0,
    title: 1,
    director: 2,
    year: 3
};

var sort_index = 0;

$(document).ready(function()
{
    var table_headers = document.getElementById("header-item").children;
    for (var k = 0; k < table_headers.length; k++)
    {
        $("#" + table_headers[k].id).bind("click", function(e)
        {
            sort_index = table_index[e.target.id];
            var table = document.getElementById("film-list");
            for (var i = 1; i < table.rows.length - 1; i++)
            {
                var a = table.rows[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[sort_index].innerHTML;
                for (var j = i + 1; j < table.rows.length; j++)
                {
                    var b = table.rows[j].getElementsByTagName("td")[sort_index].innerHTML;
                    var swap = 0;
                    switch (sort_index)
                    {
                    // Alphabetic sort
                    case 0:
                    case 1:
                    case 2:
                        if (b.toLowerCase() < a.toLowerCase())
                            swap = 1;
                        break;
                    // Numeric sort
                    case 3:
                        if (b - a < 0)
                            swap = 1;
                        break;
                    }
                    if (swap == 1)
                    {
                        $(".row-item").eq(i - 1).after(table.rows[j]);
                        $(".row-item").eq(j - 1).after(table.rows[i]);
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    }
});

Edit
It appears the real problem was related to closures inside loops. When a header is clicked, only the last table-row swap is actually updated in DOM, and as such multiple clicks are needed to sort the table properly.
I will post my own solution to this, to clarify the real problem.

A: I agree with Mr Polywhirl that doing this in the DOM itself probably isn't ideal (though it's entirely possible, see below). Modern web development leans toward using model/view/controller-style architectures (of various types) where your model (your actual data) is held separately from the view of it (the DOM), and the controller (the browser, DOM, and your code operating together), which takes actions upon your model (which are then reflected in the view). There are many popular MVC-style frameworks, probably the most significant as I write this (it changes over time) are React, Vue.js, and Angular. I've included a React example below.
But again, you can do this directly on the DOM. I see you're using jQuery, so I've used it below — See inline comments.

// Hook `click` on the table header, but only call our callback if
// that click passes through a `th`
$(".sortable thead").on("click", "th", function() {
    // Which column is this?
    var index = $(this).index();

    // Get the tbody
    var tbody = $(this).closest("table").find("tbody");

    // Disconnect the rows and get them as an array
    var rows = tbody.children().detach().get();

    // Sort it
    rows.sort(function(left, right) {
      // Get the text of the relevant td from left and right
      var $left = $(left).children().eq(index);
      var $right = $(right).children().eq(index);
      return $left.text().localeCompare($right.text());
    });

    // Put them back in the tbody
    tbody.append(rows);
});
td, th {
  padding: 4px;
}
th {
  cursor: pointer;
}
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
table, td, th {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
To sort the rows alphabetically by a column's contents, click its header.

    English
    Spanish
    Italian

      One
      Uno
      Uno

      Two
      Dos
      Due

      Three
      Tres
      Tre

      Four
      Cuatro
      Quattro

It can be a bit shorter, but I wanted to be clear rather than hyper-concise.
Notice that this removes the rows, sorts them, and puts them back, rather than causing all kinds of in-place DOM modifications.
Here's the React example:

// A React "component" for the table
class MyTable extends React.Component {
    // Initializes the component
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            // Start out unsorted, copying the array (but reusing the entries, as `row`
            // properties -- we do that so we can use their original index as a key)
            sorted: props.data.map((row, index) => ({index, row})),
            sortKey: null
        };
    }

    // Sort the view
    sort(by) {
        // Update state...
        this.setState(({sorted, sortKey}) => {
            if (sortKey === by) {
                // ...no update needed, already sorting this way
                return;
            }
            // Copy the array, then sort it (never change state in place)
            sorted = sorted.slice();
            sorted.sort((left, right) => left.row[by].localeCompare(right.row[by]));
            // Return the state updates
            return {sorted, sortKey: by};
        });
    }

    // Render the component per current state
    render() {
        const {sorted} = this.state;
        const {headers} = this.props;
        return (

                    {headers.map(({title, lang}) =>  this.sort(lang)}>{title}	)}

                    {sorted.map(({row, index}) =>

                        {headers.map(({lang}) => {row[lang]}	)}

                    )}

        );
    }
}

// Mount the component
ReactDOM.render(
    <MyTable
        headers={[
            {title: "English", lang: "en"},
            {title: "Spanish", lang: "es"},
            {title: "Italian", lang: "it"}
        ]}
        data={[
            {en: "One", es: "Uno", it: "Uno"},
            {en: "Two", es: "Dos", it: "Due"},
            {en: "Three", es: "Tres", it: "Tre"},
            {en: "Four", es: "Cuatro", it: "Quattro"}
        ]}
    />,
    document.getElementById("root")
);
td, th {
  padding: 4px;
}
th {
  cursor: pointer;
}
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
table, td, th {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
To sort the rows alphabetically by a column's contents, click its header.

That uses various ES2015+ features, such as destructuring, arrow functions, and shorthand properties; and also uses JSX syntax (which isn't a JavaScript feature; it's handled by Babel in the Snippet).

A: You can either sort the HTML in-place or you can bind data to the table and re-render it whenever you need to sort.
I used T.J. Crowder's code for in-place sorting, but turned it into a jQuery plugin and added a bindable table. You can see both examples below.

(function($) {
  $.fn.sortable = function() {
    this.find('thead').on('click', 'th', function(e) {
      var columnIndex = $(this).index();
      var $tbody = $(this).closest('table').find('tbody');
      var rows = $tbody.children().detach().get();
      rows.sort(function(left, right) {
        var $left = $(left).children().eq(columnIndex);
        var $right = $(right).children().eq(columnIndex);
        return $left.text().localeCompare($right.text());
      });
      $tbody.append(rows);
    });
    return this;
  };
  $.fn.renderTable = function(data) {
    var fields = Object.keys(data[0]);
    return this.renderTableHeaders(fields).renderTableRows(fields, data);
  };
  $.fn.renderTableHeaders = function(fields) {
    return this.append($.renderTableHeaders(fields));
  }
  $.fn.renderTableRows = function(fields, data) {
    return this.append($.renderTableRows(fields, data));
  };
  $.tableFromJson = function(data) {
    return $('
').renderTable(data);
  };
  $.renderTableHeaders = function(fields) {
    return $('
').append($('
').append(fields
      .map(field => $('').text(field))));
  };
  $.renderTableRows = function(fields, data) {
    return $('
').append(data
      .map((rec, row) => $('
').append(fields
        .map((field, col) => $('').text(rec[field])))));
  };
  $.bindableTable = function(data, sortable) {
    var $table = $.tableFromJson(data).addClass('bindable');
    if (sortable) {
      $table.dataRef = data;
      $table.addClass('sortable').find('thead').on('click', 'th', function(e) {
        var dataIndex = $(this).text();
        $table.dataRef.sort(function (a, b) {
          var left = new String(a[dataIndex]);
          var right = new String(b[dataIndex]);
          return left.localeCompare(right);
        });
        var fields = Object.keys($table.dataRef[0]);
        $table.find('tbody').replaceWith($.renderTableRows(fields, $table.dataRef));
      });
    }
    return $table;
  };
})(jQuery);

var jsonData = [
  { "id": 1, "name": "John", "age": 24, "make": "Chevrolet", "model": "Silverado", "year": 2016 },
  { "id": 2, "name": "Jack", "age": 36, "make": "Toyota",    "model": "Corolla",   "year": 2018 },

];

$('body').append($('

$.tableFromJson(jsonData).addClass('stylized sortable').sortable().appendTo('body');

$('body').append($('

A: Description
As stated, the original problem was swapping of rows. It appears the real problem was related to closures inside loops. When a header is clicked, only the last table-row swap is actually updated in DOM, and as such multiple clicks are needed to sort the table properly.
Solution
One possible solution is to use the built-in sort function, as shown below.
var table_index = {
    watched: 0,
    title: 1,
    director: 2,
    year: 3
};

var sort_index = 0;

var tbody = $("tbody").children().get();

$(document).ready(function()
{
    var table_headers = $("thead").children();
    for (var k = 0; k < table_headers.length; k++)
    {
        $("#" + table_headers[k].id).bind("click", function(e)
        {
            sort_index = table_index[e.target.id];
            switch (sort_index)
            {
            // Alphabetic sort
            case 0:
            case 1:
            case 2:
                tbody.sort(function(a, b) {
                    var l = $(a).children().eq(sort_index).text();
                    var r = $(b).children().eq(sort_index).text();
                    if (r.toLowerCase() < l.toLowerCase())
                        return 1;
                    else if (r.toLowerCase() > l.toLowerCase())
                        return -1;
                    else
                        return 0;
                });
                break;
            // Numeric sort
            case 3:
                tbody.sort(function(a, b) {
                    var l = $(a).children().eq(sort_index).text();
                    var r = $(b).children().eq(sort_index).text();
                    return l - r;
                });
                break;
            }
            $("tbody").children().detach();
            $("tbody").append(tbody);
        });
    }
});

Reid left Harris to peruse the menu, refreshing drinks and chatting with other customers. But even while he remained busy, his attention stayed hung up on the newcomer. By the time he came back around to Harris, the man was staring at him again, chin resting in one hand, the other drumming a simple rhythm on the bar. Reid smiled at him, ignoring the swooping sensation in his stomach.
"What'll it be?" Reid asked.
"Since I liked your first recommendation, I thought you could give me another," Harris said, a suggestive smile playing on his lips.
Reid kept the smile on his face, though a hollow ache had suddenly bloomed behind his stomach. Disappointment. In himself for not going along with Harris' suggestive behavior and letting himself have a little fun. He was surprised to find that he wished he had given a different answer, that maybe the night could have taken a different turn for both of them. He resisted the urge to try and salvage it, to flirt back with Harris.
"Coming right up," Reid said instead, heading toward the kitchen.
Julie's kitchen was on top of it tonight, and Harris' order came up quickly. Harris ate in silence, though Reid felt the weight of those incredible eyes. They held a sad mystery in them, one that Reid wanted to discover. But Reid had his hands full with drink orders and customers at the bar, the night picking up rapidly. The Irish drinking songs had already begun in the dining room, much to Sasha's chagrin.
"These men know nothing," she groused. Reid laughed. Sasha had immigrated from Russia only a short time ago. Reid didn't know much of her past besides what Sasha had been willing to share. He knew she used to be a ballerina, but she remained stubbornly closed-lipped about the rest. Including the family she left behind. Her thick accent threw a lot of customers off at first, but she was generally friendly unless you said the wrong thing to the wrong person.
"They're still paying customers, Sasha," he said as she hefted another heavy tray full of beer.
She muttered something in Russian as she wandered off. Harris snorted and laughed at his end of the bar.
"She's got a mouth on her," he said.
"You understood that?" Reid asked, curious.
"Yeah," Harris said, finishing off his beer. Reid noticed that his plate was empty, with only a used lemon slice and a little bit of tartar left in its bowl.
Reid's curiosity and interest in the man ratcheted up ten-fold. It had been hard enough to convince himself to stick to his principles without Harris proving to be even more interesting.
Instead of asking Harris how he knew Russian or even what Sasha had said like he so desperately wanted to, Reid gathered Harris' plate and took it into the back. Then he printed Harris' tab and slid it his way with an easy smile.
"I hope you enjoy your stay in Seaside," he said and left Harris to it, though every ounce of his being screamed in protest as he walked away.
A few minutes later, well after Reid had watched Harris slip out the door without so much as a wave goodbye, Sasha picked up Harris' receipt and let out a sharp curse in Russian. At least, Reid had always thought it was a curse. She said it a lot. Reid abandoned the drink he had been pouring and made his way to Sasha's side.
"What is it?" he asked, looking over her shoulder. Then he choked on air as surprise shot through him.

Time Series Models Discovery with Similarity-Based Neuro-Fuzzy Networks and Genetic Algorithms: A Parallel Implemention.
Search for: Valdés, Julio; Search for: Mateescu, G.
This paper presents a parallel implementation of a hybrid data mining technique for multivariate heterogeneous time varying processes based on a combination of neuro-fuzzy techniques and genetic algorithms. The purpose is to discover patterns of dependency in general multivariate time-varying systems, and to construct a suitable representation for the function expressing those dependencies. The patterns of dependency are represented by multivariate, non-linear, autoregressive models. Given a set of time series, the models relate future values of one target series with past values of all such series, including itself. The model space is explored with a genetic algorithm, whereas the functional approximation is constructed with a similarity based neuro-fuzzy heterogeneous network. This approach allows rapid prototyping of interesting interdependencies, especially in poorly known complex multivariate processes. This method contains a high degree of parallelism at different levels of granularity, which can be exploited when designing distributed implementations, such as workcrew computation in a master-slave paradigm. In the present paper,a first implementation at the highest granularity level is presented. The implementation was tested for performance and portability in different homogeneous and heterogeneous Beowulf clusters with satisfactory results. An application example with a known time series problem is presented.

Chinese Embassy in Cambodia celebrates PLA's 91st anniversary
PHNOM PENH, July 19 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia hosted a reception here on Thursday to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA), which falls on Aug. 1.
The celebratory event was attended by Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen. Tea Banh and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Xiong Bo as well as some 400 guests.
Li Ningya, military attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, said over the past 91 years, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the PLA had accomplished numerous achievements in protecting national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the people of China as well as in contributing to maintaining peace and security in the world.
"We will continue holding aloft the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit, pursuing a national defense policy which is purely defensive in nature, and making positive contributions to peace and security in the region and in the world," he said.
Lieutenant General Phat Vibolsopheak, deputy director-general of the Cambodian Defense Ministry's General Department of Policy and Foreign Affairs, congratulated the PLA on the occasion and highly spoke of good cooperation between the two armies in maintaining peace in their respective countries, in the region and in the world.
"I'd like to highly value the results of military cooperation between Cambodia and China, and to express my profound gratitude to the government, PLA and people of China, as brother, who has greatly contributed to the development of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces," he said.

The Seleção had beaten Serbia 2-0 and Switzerland 1-0 in rock-solid performances from its key starters in the first two group games.
South Korea, on the other hand, pulled off a miraculous 2-1 upset against Portugal thanks to a late Hwang Hee-chan goal. The Taegeuk Warriors advanced in second place in Group H after topping Uruguay based on goals scored. South Korea tied Uruguay 0-0 in the head-to-head matchup to open the tournament and lost 3-2 to Ghana but had fate on its side to reach the knockout stage.

Bangkok (Fides Service) – To mark Communications Day 2003, the Asian Research Centre for Religion and Social Communications has a new director, a new review, new cultural initiatives. The Catholic centre located in Bangkok, opened by the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conference in 1999, is fully active since 2000.
In a recent meeting of the Centre's administration council Thai professor Kirti Bunchua was appointed new director. Kirti Bunchua aged 74 is dean of the faculty of philosophy and religious studies at the Saint John University, one of Thailand's two Catholic colleges, he has years of experience of teaching social communications and philosophy. His lessons are followed by thousands of students and his more recent studies concern the affect of the media on Buddhism.

The review will be published twice yearly and carry articles by organisations, universities, research centres in all Asia and the rest of the world.

The Conference will take place in Bangkok, in December 15 and 16, will reflect on "Cultural Diversity: global communication and local interaction" and the effects of new technology on traditional Asian cultures.
The Directors of the Asian Research Centre for Religion and Social Communications underlines the importance of the Church's involvement in the field of social communications, especially in this era of widespread high technology. The Directors say the Church must be effectively present in the field of communication in order to carry her message with the means proper to this century.

Behind Turkey's New Friendship With Iran
TIME 13 Novembre 2009
Iran and Turkey once ran the Middle East between them, their rival empires — Persian and Ottoman — coexisting in mutually restrained antagonism for centuries. The border that separates them today is one of the world's oldest, dating back to 1514. And Ankara and Tehran have regarded each other warily since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution put it on a collision course with predominantly Muslim Turkey's Western, secular orientation and its role as a key NATO country on the frontline of the old Soviet Union. But in a development that has raised Western eyebrows, relations between Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have lately become almost cozy.
Erodgan recently dismissed Western anxiety over Iran's nuclear ambitions as based on "gossip." Besides, he has implied, if Israel is allowed nuclear weapons, why not Iran? Erdogan was the first world leader to congratulate Ahmedinejad on his re-election in June, …

It's easy to dismiss the ponytail as little more than a lazy solution to sweltering summers, or a last resort for bad hair days. We're here to convince you otherwise, and show you the infinite possibilities the simple pony holds! Using our fabulous employees as models, we tried three fresh twists on the old pony.
OH SO RETRO — It's no secret that we're vintage lovers, so why not bump it? All you need to do to achieve a retro bouffant is a little bit of teasing and super '60s outfit to match! Just back-comb the top half portion of your mane, smooth out the top, and pull it back. Add a headband (as seen in the lead image) to elevate the look!
CLASSICAL THEORY — Looking for something a little more practical? We pinned ModEmployee Katie's longer bangs to the side for a sleek and sporty take on the classic pony. Smooth out your tresses with some grooming cream and pull back into a slightly higher ponytail before pinning your bangs to the side for a look that transitions from the tennis court to an afternoon brunch.
GO BOHO — Want summer festival-ready locks? This boho braided ponytail is perfectly undone for a free-spirited summer style. Simply French braid the front section of your hair, and fasten into a low, side pony. Tease the ends and pull out a few loose strands for a casual look.
Let us know if you plan on trying any of these out, or if you have easy ponytail tips of your own!
Love these pony tails, can't wait to try them out!
Love the BOHO!!!! So cute! I love how to braid comes from the far section of the head.
Your hair tutorials are almost enough to make me want to grow my hair out… Almost.
Aw, shucks. And, totally understandable! Happily, we have a batch of short hair tutorials in the works right now… be on the lookout for them later this month!
Wow, love these! I definitely need to try these out in some upcoming blog outfit posts!
I was told I was wearing my hair as the runway models do while wearing this simple variant.
Part hair in middle or a little to one side. Roll hair upward and backward. Add more hair as you go. Fasten with a band at nape of neck. Repeat on other side. Finally cover bands with decorative scrunchie or ribbon. It is elegant and easy.
If you do this while hair is wet, you will have curled hair (like a modified Farrah Fawcett) the next day, further simplifying life.
If you further bring ends of pony tail up and secure under the final scrunchie, your hair will be curled into a flip the next day.
These are cute, but I'd also like to figure out some ways to wear ponytails without having to straighten my curly hair.
I'm wearing the GO BOHO. I just did a regular braid instead of a french braid. It's my new do'!
My favorite would have to be the "Go Boho" hairstyle…I like the simplicity of it. One hairdo I like to do, and would be great as a "boho" style is like this: take the top half of your hair and tie it back in a ponytail (the half up, half down kind); then make a little gap in the center just above the twistie and bring the ponytail up and through from the underside…after that, I braid the ponytail, tie it off at the bottom with a second twistie, and remove the first twistie.
Why did I never think of this?! So simple and so cute! Thanks for sharing!
These ponytails are so fun! I'll have to try them out. I like the first one the best.

Workers shovel snow out of the grandstand in this recent photo at Hadlock Field in Portland.
Hadlock Field in Portland, home of the Portland Sea Dogs, can be seen clear of snow in this recent photo after crews began removing it on March 1. The Sea Dogs' home opener is scheduled for April 9.
The harsh, snowy winter won't derail any plans for the Eastern League's (AA) Portland Sea Dogs to open their baseball season against Reading on April 9 at Hadlock Field.
Chris Cameron, the assistant general manager and public relations director for the Sea Dogs, said snow removal began on March 1, two weeks earlier than usual.
Head groundskeeper Rick Anderson and his crew were able to clear the snow from the field and virtually all of the snow out of the stands.
"For some reason, the prevailing wind dumped a lot more snow in the stands," said Anderson, who has been the head groundskeeper throughout the Sea Dogs' 22 years in Portland.
Cameron said they used large PVC pipes cut in half as chutes and shoveled the snow into the pipes so it would slide onto the field for removal. Tractors and snow blowers then loaded the snow into a dump truck.
Anderson said they had five workers on the field and 10-15 in the stands. It took nine or 10 days to remove all the snow and the field.
Anderson said there is a minor concern about the frost in the ground.
"The sun is higher [and warmer] now. Hopefully, Mother Nature will turn up the heat for us," said Anderson.
No matter what happens the rest of the way, Anderson said he expects the season opener to go off without a hitch.
Cameron said the Sea Dogs are offering fans who buy a ticket to the season opener two tickets to a game at a later date if the opener is postponed.
"We want to change the conversation and get people thinking about spring," said Cameron.
One of the highlights will be the annual Eastern League All-Star game on July 15. It was last held at Hadlock Field in 2005.
The Sea Dogs will have their Throwback Thursday series with specific themes, and those will include Civil War Night featuring re-enactors. One will be dressed as Brewer-born Joshua Chamberlain, a college professor who became a Medal of Honor recipient as a Union Army officer at Gettysburg.
The Dirigo Vintage Baseball Club will show the fans what baseball was like back in the 1860s.
They also will have a 1980s throwback night featuring the "Back to the Future" Delorean and a "Ghostbusters" dress-up including the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
The Sea Dogs have 16 home dates in July.
Anderson thoroughly enjoys his gig as the groundskeeper at Hadlock.
He said it's interesting to see the players in the early stages of their careers on their way up to the major leagues.
"You develop relationships with some of the players. Ninety-eight percent of the people in baseball are good people and that makes the job a lot easier. And it's nice to see a lot of youngsters having fun while attending the games," said Anderson.


April 22nd is Earth Day – the 40th anniversary of this annual celebration. There wasn't any Earth Day when I was a kid and it was still something new when my kids were in school. It usually fell during their Spring vacation and there wasn't really any big deal at school. One year we were on vacation in Arizona and I think I remember there being some local events there.
Much has changed in 40 years – including how big a deal Earth Day is. There will be many a tree planted and especially designed learning programs at schools. Every museum and zoo will have special programs. Our nearby Turtle Back Zoo is having a "Party for the Planet" on Saturday. Indeed the celebrations will extend throughout the weekend.
-Check out the local Earth Day celebrations in your town and at museums and zoos and take you grandchild to one of them.
-Take you grandchild to a local farmer's market and discuss the value of buying locally grown food.
-Do an art project together using recycled materials.
-If you are really into it discuss how you and your child might participate in an advocacy project or a park or river cleanup day.
This is just a short list to get your creative juices going. You can visit EarthDay.org and find out whatever you would like to know about Earth Day. You can even put in your zipcode and get a list of local events.
I hope you'll leave a comment and share your Earth Day ideas and activities with us.

Former Blue Jacket Artemi Panarin criticizes Vladimir Putin
Andy Downing Editor, Columbus Alive @andydowning33
The former CBJ forward recently gave a lengthy interview in which he became the highest-profile Russian athlete to speak ill of the country's leader
Forward Artemi Panarin, who left the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this summer to sign with the New York Rangers in free agency, is continuing to make news off the ice.
On Thursday, an interview posted and was later shared via Deadspin in which Panarin spoke critically of Russian president Vladimir Putin, making him the most high-profile Russian athlete to take such a stance.
The nearly hour-long interview was conducted in Russian but translated by Slava Malamud of slavadoesamerica.com.
Here are a handful of the more interesting/relevant passages (though do visit the site to read the complete excerpts):
On why he formerly expressed pride in Putin
"Because I was never really interested in politics. Never read the news. I was thoroughly focused on hockey and my progress… Besides, it's not like I crossed the [American] border and got enlightened right away. It took me something like two years before I thought, 'Something is wrong [in Russia].'"
How his opinion started to change
"By watching Ekho Moskvy, Dozhd and Navalny [opposition channels]. I like it better than our [state-owned] Channel One. I just understood what type of horror is going on here. It's enough for a person to just see the two sides and he will understand everything. You don't even need to be super smart, just be open to another opinion, that's all."
What he now thinks of Putin
"I think he no longer understands what's right and what's wrong. Psychologically, it's not easy for him to judge the situation soberly. He has a lot of people who influence his decisions. But if everyone is walking around you for 20 years telling you what a great guy you are and how great a job you are doing, you will never see your mistakes. In America, you have two four-year terms, and that's it. You can't come back. You've done some good for your country, haven't grown fat on anything, and you leave without a fuss, letting young blood in."
On whether Putin has held power too long
"Yes, probably. He has been in power for almost 20 years and we haven't seen any rule of law, really. He has been sitting there too long, he isn't letting anyone else in."
Again, do read more from the interview.
I guess we'll now miss Panarin as much for his courage off the ice as his skill on it.

Q: Does QEMU/KVM use Intel AES instructions for encrypted qcow2 images if the host CPU has them? The qcow2 image file format for KVM can use AES encryption. The encryption is applied at the cluster level:

Each sector within each cluster is independently encrypted using AES Cipher Block Chaining mode, using the sector's offset (relative to the start of the device) in little-endian format as the first 64 bits of the 128 bit initialisation vector.

The cluster size can be set from 512 bytes to 2M (64K appears to be the default).
One of the main issues with using qcow2 encryption is the performance hit for the CPU - every disk write or non-cached read needs to encrypt or unencrypt.
What I'd like to know is does QEMU/KVM use the Intel AES instructions  to mitigate the performance hit if the host CPU has them? If so, does usage or performance depend significantly on cluster size?

Intel® AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning with the all new 2010 Intel® Core™ processor family based on the 32nm Intel® microarchitecture codename Westmere. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is defined by FIPS Publication number 197. Since AES is currently the dominant block cipher, and it is used in various protocols, the new instructions are valuable for a wide range of applications.

A: At least with the Fedora 20 package qemu-img (1.6.2, 10.fc20) does not use AES-NI for AES crypto.
Confirming
One can verify it like this:

*

*Does the CPU have AES-NI?
$ grep aes /proc/cpuinfo  -i

For example my Intel Core 7 has this extension.

*Install the necessary debug packages:
# debuginfo-install qemu-img

*Run qemu-img in a debugger:
$ gdb --args qemu-img convert -o encryption -O qcow2 disk1.img enc1.qcow2

*Set a break-point in a well known qemu encryption function that is not optimized for AES-NI:
(gdb) b AES_encrypt
Breakpoint 1 at 0x794b0: file util/aes.c, line 881.

*Run the program:
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/bin/qemu-img convert -o encryption -O qcow2 disk1.img enc1.qcow2

Results
In my testing it does stop there:
Breakpoint 1, AES_encrypt (in=0x7ffff7fabd60 "...", key=0x555555c1b510) at util/aes.c:881
881          const AES_KEY *key) {
(gdb) n
889     assert(in && out && key);
(gdb) n
881          const AES_KEY *key) {
(gdb) n
889     assert(in && out && key);
(gdb) n
896     s0 = GETU32(in     ) ^ rk[0];
(gdb) n
897     s1 = GETU32(in +  4) ^ rk[1];

Meaning that, indeed, Intel AES instructions are not used.
My first thought was that qemu-img perhaps just uses libcrypto such that AES-NI is automatically used, when available. qemu-img even links against libcrypto (cf ldd $(which qemu-img)) - but it does not seem to use it for AES crypto. Hmm.
I derived the breakpoint location via grepping the QEMU source code. On Fedora you can get it like this:
$ fedpkg clone -a qemu
$ cd qemu
$ fedpkg source
$ tar xfv qemu-2.2.0-rc1.tar.bz2
$ cd qemu-2.2.0-rc1

NOTE: gdb can be exited via the quit command.

A: I'd like to share this thread regarding AES-NI support in the Westmere CPU in the 1.7.10.4 version of QEMU:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-03/msg05374.html
The functionality was reviewed and accepted into the code stream.
Then there is another thread related to why the functionality seems lacking in 2.2:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2015-February/msg00007.html
The thread seems to indicate there is a method of enabling this feature, but with possible negative consequences due incompatibilities with libvirt and CPU detection. Personally I'd love to see this feature re-introduced.

Crackdown on Panadol hoarders on the cards
The Newspaper's Staff Reporter Published September 24, 2022
LAHORE: The Punjab health department is all set to launch a province-wide crackdown on the hoarders of Panadol to make it available for the rising number of dengue and malaria patients.
The Director General Drugs Control has been assigned the task of supervising and monitoring the crackdown by fielding the drug inspectors and other relevant officials of his department all over the province.
They have been directed to check godowns, stores, and other suspected places of the medicine markets to ensure supply of medicines at actual prices.
The action was proposed on the persistent complaints that the mafia was hoarding the most-needed medicine, forcing the patients to purchase it at higher price. Although more than 200 brands of paracetamol are available in the market, Panadol has been recommended on a large scale to the patients by the medics.
Plan to construct 34 new hospitals
The Punjab health department held a series of meetings to address the chronic issue of shortage of Panadol when some drug inspectors reported that the pharmacies and medical store owners had hoarded millions of Panadol tablets. They also shared video clips of the inspections carried out at some pharmacies and medical stores from where the officials recovered cartons of tablets.
At a meeting held here on Friday, the health authorities gave approval to launch a crackdown on the mafia involved in black-marketeering of Panadol. Chaired by Punjab Health Minister Prof Dr Yasmin Rashid, the meeting was attended by health secretary Imran Sikandar Baloch, special secretary Dr Farrukh Naveed, Punjab Healthcare Commission Chief Executive Officer Saqib Aziz, Prof Asad Aslam and other senior officials.
The health secretary and other officers briefed the meeting on the disturbing reports of hoarding of Panadol and overcharging. Prof Rashid directed the health authorities to initiate crackdown on the mafia in the wake of rising number of dengue cases in Punjab.
She said a ramp-up plan had also been prepared to increase the number of beds for dengue patients in Punjab's hospitals. She said citizens could call the helpline number 0304-1111781 of the department of specialized healthcare and medical education to get information related to dengue.
"The rapid increase in dengue cases in Punjab is alarming," the health minister said and directed the commissioners and DCs to increase the surveillance of dengue in their areas.
HOSPITALS: The Punjab government has planned construction of 34 new state-run hospitals across the province.
As many as 11 mother and child hospitals were among them. The plan was shared at a meeting of the health department wherein Dr Rashid reviewed the universal health coverage programme, under-construction mother and child block at Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, and SNE's of various under-construction government hospitals.

COLONY's Sarah Wayne Callies Chats Season Finale and Prison Break Return
March 17, 2016 Tiffany D'Emidio
(Photo by: Isabella Vosmikova/USA Network)
In the season finale of COLONY, after the Resistance kidnaps a high-value hostage, the Los Angeles bloc is placed on lockdown.
Series star Sarah Wayne Callies sits down to discuss the challenges her character faced this season as well as the complicated relationships within her family and the Resistance. Also, don't miss a quick mention of Prison Break where she is due to return.
"Gateway" airs Thursday, March 17 at 10pm/9c on USA Network.
Full interview after the jump!
Katie's always being pulled in both directions, obviously from the Resistance and from her husband. Can you talk about playing that dichotomy in your character?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Yes, my pleasure. I think it's called being a woman. There's something I think about being a working mom. Almost every working mother I know feels a constant sense of guilt and failure that either you've devoted so much time to your family that the people at work are feeling like you're not sufficiently contributing, or that you've poured so much of yourself into your work that you're (unintelligible) sufficiently there for your family.
And so obviously in Colony, that's heightened because Katie's work is no longer running a bar. Katie's work is, you know, undertaking Resistance with an eye towards (degrading) not only her family but her city and possibly her species. But I think, you know, as we see in episode nine, part of the cost of that work has been…
Sarah Wayne Callies:…not seeing what's going on in her own house with their children. And so you know, I mean, when it comes to playing it, it's not real hard for me to go down that road, because every morning I leave my kids and I go to work. I'm a breadwinner for a family. It's war.
And I observe in my life that none of my male colleagues speaks the same amount of kind of internal tearing that all the working moms I know feel, and I don't know quite why that is, but I think maybe culturally we need to soften things a little bit for those of us who are trying to do the family and the work thing, because it does tear you up a little bit in ways that I think we probably could improve.
Was there anyone — either a character or a person in particular — that you kind of were inspired when you played her? Or did you just take everything from the script? Obviously, you added your experience as a mother, but was there anything kind of else that you brought into it?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Yes. This is going to sound a little crazy — Joan of Arc.
I realized – sounds kind of, I mean, it started as a bit of joke, which is that Katie is from New Orleans, which is why the bar is what it is. And another term for a bartender is a barmaid. And so the Maid of Orleans is what they used to call Joan of Arc.
So it started as like I just had this weird brain fart and I emailed Ryan and Carlton and I was like clearly you based this character on Joan of Arc. And they laughed and we thought it was weird. And then I was like, let me just go watch a movie about Joan of Arc. And I went in the back and I reread Saint Joan. And I do think there's something interesting to the idea that Katie, like Joan, is a true believer. And Katie, like Joan, runs face first into that role where your ideology meets the reality of trying to mount a resistance.
And so in that sense, I think they both go in, you know, giving that they're doing quote unquote "The Lord's work" like I am doing the moral, ethical, right thing, and I have no qualms about that. I might be afraid, but I won't let my fear stop me from trying to do the right thing. And then all of a sudden, these are women neck deep in politics and ethics for which they're not equipped.
And they have to catch up very quickly. So, you know, it did start as (stuff) that there was something that I found actually very cool about it. Juan Campanella also had us watch a movie called the Battle of Algiers that immediately became one of the best films I've ever seen. And there was a lot in that film about femininity as a tool of war, which is why I put Katie in dresses and try to kind of articulate a femininity in her characterization.
The argument in that fantastic backyard that you have on the show between Katie and Will when they're arguing back and forth and he's like, "I saved you," and she's, "I saved you, too." From your point of view, to me I thought it was really a game changer in their relationship. How do you feel about that?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Yes, I agree. I mean, I think in way, the whole first season builds to that conversation. Will and Katie, I think that in a way, Will and Katie learn that love is not all you need, in the first season, that these ideological differences really may become profoundly problematic in their marriage. And I think there's a (unintelligible) of trust that over the course of the season but that really culminates in that final argument. It's a tough thing to come back from.
And, you know, particularly I think when Will says to Katie, "You put the noose around those kids' necks," meaning Rachel's son. That's a huge bomb to drop on someone, and certainly people say things in the heat of the moment that they don't mean, but I think that's one of those arguments in a marriage that's going to take them a long time to recover from.
Yes, definitely. Another thing that I love about her is when she's already been in killing situations and we really see it through the eyes of the audience how she reacts to the killing. Broussard he's more used to it but for her it's all something very alien. Can you speak to how that weighs on her as well?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Well, you know, I mean Katie is — among the people that we see in the Resistance — Katie is one of the few I think that we really get to know who doesn't have any experience tactically. She's not military trained. She's not law enforcement trained. You know, she knows how to shoot a gun because she spent time in New Orleans and her husband's a former Army Ranger, but there's not – I think all of the things that you have to do internally to get right with the idea that you might have to take someone's life, Katie hasn't done that stuff, because she's a bartender. And she has had the great privilege of never having to get her hands dirty in the name of anything she believes in — you know, liberty, free society, et cetera.
And so, she's unprepared for – she's thrown in the middle and she doesn't have the coping skills. I'm sorry. Give me one second. (Unintelligible). Yes, ma'am, I am. 2:30. Thank you. Sorry. Every 20 minutes this hotel has been trying to convince me that I have to check out.
Yes, so she doesn't have the emotional framework to do the work that she's doing, and so it takes an enormous toll on her. And I think by the end of the season, it wouldn't surprise me — and I don't know anything about season two — but it wouldn't surprise me if she started season two as a confirmed pacifist, just somebody who refuses to take arms again because the cost has been so great.
Why do you think that Katie hasn't told Will about her part in the Resistance, even before he kind of got forced into fighting the Resistance? And maybe even more importantly, do you think you could keep a secret that big from your husband?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Well I will say that Nelson McCormick, who directed episode six, came to me at a certain point during the filming and he said, "I don't think your husband should watch this episode." I said, "Why?" He said, "No man wants to know his wife can lie this well." And that gave me something to think about.
I mean, first of all, I don't think Katie was very significantly involved with the Resistance until Will was forced into collaboration. You know, I think these were people in her orbit. I think she warped, you know, she might have taken a flyer from here to there, but she was not neck deep with them. And I think she makes the decision to join their work fully as a response to Will's forced collaboration. And it's partly as a means to protect him, but also a need to balance this (unintelligible) just thinking, you know, I can't stomach the thought of being a collaborating family. That's just sort of more than I can take.
And she doesn't tell him, because it's the best way to keep him safe. You know, I mean, Juan Campanella, the director of the first three episodes, grew up in Argentina under a dictatorship. He talked to us quite a lot about just those conditions of knowing that people disappear all the time and knowing that information can be an extremely powerful but also very dangerous currency. And I think for Will to have plausible deniability, if he was ever questioned about his wife's activities, could save his life.
And so Katie would never want to put him in a position of having to withhold information that could kill him.
What do you hope people take away when they watch the show?
Sarah Wayne Callies: You know, I hope primarily people take away a sense of entertainment, because none of us want to do homework. And I wouldn't want to show, as ideological and political as it is, I wouldn't want it to feel like homework.
I've said this all over the place, but the first season of Battlestar Galactica was one of the greatest things I've ever seen, because it was so entertaining and I loved watching it. And it was one of the most salient discussions on the Patriot Act that I saw anybody having anywhere.
And I would be so happy if Colony followed in those footsteps — of a show where you just care so much (unintelligible) people and it's such an interesting and unique world. And while we're doing that, we're also talking about the genesis of resistance and the nature of resistance and the definitions between resistance and terrorism, and governments and oppression and repression. That would be – it's a really tricky balance. It's a very difficult line to walk, but I think if anyone can walk it, it's Ryan. You know, it's Ryan Condal and Carlton Cuse. And I'm sort of along for the ride doing my best on my end. Does that make any sense?
Broussard and Katie have kind of become confidants over the course of the show but the history between them is still a mystery. Can you shed any light as to how they became friends and how they grew to trust each other over everyone else?
Sarah Wayne Callies: You know, I think part of that has to do with the history of a bartender and a patron, you know. Broussard and Katie got to know each other before it all happened. And I always imagine that, you know, he'd come into the bar between deployments and she recognized in him a man like her husband — someone who's, you know, a military man and somebody who's been through some stuff and someone who needs maybe a little bit of space to deal with what he's been through and what he's seen, a space not to be judged and a space maybe not for anyone to say I know how you're feeling, because in my experience, a lot of vets feel things that no one can understand.
And so, I think they developed a respect and a friendship before it all happened, before it all went down. I don't know if they will go this route or not, but something Tory and I talked about is a possibility that when the arrival happened, he was in the bar and he was one of the people who helped Katie get out. Tory and I talked about it. We shared it with Ryan and Carlton. I don't know if they'll build that into our backstory, but.
So I think part of it has to do with that kind of history. And I think another part of it (unintelligible) I think (we all) have a gut feeling about the people in our lives that we can really trust. And it doesn't – sometimes it happens right away. Sometimes it evolves over time. But there are people in your life that you just go ok, I'm all in. I trust you. And I think Katie brings that trust out in Broussard and it's a trust he doesn't have for many people.
And I think she just absolutely trusts him, which is why, you know, Quale's orders to have her killed I think really shake Katie to her foundation, because she sees that Broussard is contemplating it. It's his nature as a man who follows the chain of command is contending his (unintelligible). Yes.
So when he emerges up the other side of that as a human being, I think then he becomes somebody that like – I think that does bring them ironically closer together. Does that make sense?
I think you're right. Yes, that makes perfect sense. And as a quick follow-up because I'm really excited about this, that it was recently announced that you will be reprising your Prison Break role on the revival series.
Sarah Wayne Callies: That's right.
What are you most excited about in regards to retuning to that universe and that character?
Sarah Wayne Callies: You know, I mean, it's such a fascinating, creative challenge to resuscitate something that I buried such a long time ago. There has been a lifetime for me between the end of Prison Break and now — the whole Walking Dead World, you know, my son wasn't even born, my daughter was just a baby. I feel like a completely different person. And so the idea of doing what you do in theatre quite a lot actually, which is returning to a role once your own sense of yourself and your own life has changed so much, is just a really fascinating and kind of a scary idea too. But it seems to me all of the more reason to do it.
You know, the story picks up several years later, so Doctor Sara and (unintelligible) have travelled a distance from where we left them. That's, you know, I just actually finished – I've gotten one episode left in season one. (Unintelligible) locked myself in a room and binge watched the whole first season to remind myself who these people are and what we went through and what's going on.
And it was extraordinary. I mean, I wrote to Paul Scheuring last night. I was like, you know, I don't watch a lot of television and I don't watch very much of what I'm in, so some of these episodes I'm seeing for the first time. That first season was an extraordinary season of television. There was just so much really interesting writing and really terrific performances. And if we can build that again, that level of intelligence and (unintelligible), it would be wonderful. Yes.
It seems like there are a lot of fans who are not happy with Katie, who really feel like she should be doing what she can to protect her family. And you know, in the argument with Will she says that she's protecting basically everybody's families is kind of her attitude I think.
What would you say to those people who are saying Katie needs to get out of the Resistance work and follow Will?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Should the French Resistance have given up and followed the Nazis? There's – the history of civil society is the history of resistance. And I think Katie's perspective is it's not enough to just raise children. You have to raise children that are free.
And you see it in her daughter that this little girl is getting used to it. She's only eight. And so, her memory, the longer this goes on, her memory is more and more a memory of checkpoints and breadlines and curfews and people being afraid of their government. And I think Katie feels very strongly that the greatest act of love is fighting for her children's intellectual and creative and spiritual freedom.
That's great. And we may think that would sway some people, but other people are still going to say you need to be playing with your – you know, working for your children. Was there a scene this season that you felt really articulated that point of view for Katie?
Sarah Wayne Callies: You know, I'd have to go back. I have to spend some time with that and really go back and watch and check it out. I think everything she does is an expression of that. And I think there's a moment between her and Bram at the end of episode nine where she all but tells him what she's doing. And I think in that moment, to me at least, it's pretty clear that she's doing it for him.
You know, I'll also point out that I think there's a pretty profound double standard when it comes to men and women and some people's perception of whose job it is to stay home and take care of the kids. I don't know what, you know, you're talking about when you're talking about people's reactions to Katie. I don't go online. I don't engage in any of that stuff. It's not my business. My business is to tell a story.
Sarah Wayne Callies: Male characters rarely are so, first of all, heavily defined by their identities as parents. And they're also very rarely criticized for doing meaningful work, ideological work outside the home.
Right. I totally see what you're saying. If Will had been fighting for the Resistance, if the roles had been switched, nobody would have argued.
Sarah Wayne Callies: No. He would be a hero.
Sarah Wayne Callies: You know, to me, that makes it even a more exciting story to tell, because it's able to hopefully slightly move the needle on those perceptions by normalizing the idea of women and those traditions.
The characters of Katie and Lori Grimes in the Walking Dead, they're sort of in a similar situation — they're trying to hold their families together and preserve some degree of normality despite, you know, what's a big shock to the society they live in. So, can you compare and contrast those two characters a little bit?
Also as a sort of follow up to that, can you tell us what you consider to be Katie's biggest strengths and weaknesses?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Sure. You know, I think the main amass of difference between Katie and Lori, who feel incredibly far apart. I mean first of all, when you start the show at the beginning of Walking Dead, even before the apocalypse happened, Rick and Lori's marriage was really in trouble. We met them at a time when even though they had a long history together and a ton of love, they weren't – it wasn't working between the two of them.
And when we meet Will and Katie, they're rock solid. They've been through incredible challenges and they are having a very difficult time individually, but I think they're doing a wonderful job of supporting each other and they love the shit out of each other.
So right there, you know, sort of setting off on different tracks. And then Katie has available to her what Lori never did, which is a viable alternative for the life, the circumstances of the life that they're living right now, right? You know, there's no like zombie resistance movement. Nor is there a collaboration movement because zombies don't represent an opinion. They don't represent – they're a threat. But they're not organized and they're not intelligent and they're not actively oppressing people. They just sort of are as predators.
Whereas – and so there's no ideological attack to be mounted, right? You can't sit there with a bunch of zombies and be like hey listen, we've got to talk about this (unintelligible). Like that's just not a part of that world. Whereas the world in which Will and Katie are living is a world where the physical manifestations are brutal and vicious, but they're physical manifestations of ultimately an ideal, a position, which is there is an outside force saying you are only worth what we decide you're worth. We're going to completely control you, extract what we need, and as far as we know, we're not going to feel bad about that.
So Katie is in a position to, you know, forgive the quote but take on (unintelligible). And that I think does something important internally, which is when people feel that they're able to take steps to move towards a more hopeful future, they feel better, for lack of a better, more blunt way to put it. You know, there's something that can – I think as difficult as the Resistance work is and a compromise that it is, Katie kisses her kids when she puts them to bed at night knowing Momma's fighting for you. As opposed to Lori, who I think was in a position of having to like, I'm doing my best but there's not that much I can do.
What was your most memorable episode to work on and why?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Probably episode nine. There was – the big fight scene argument between Will and Katie outside was one of the most difficult things I've ever shot, worked on.
Sarah Wayne Callies: And it became a really extraordinary experience actually, because Josh and I and Ryan and Carlton all had really important things that we wanted to say and be said in the course of that scene. And in a way, that scene is the culmination of every move that Will and Katie have made in this chess game until then.
And so we came into it with so much passion and the scene went through lots and lots of revisions — both getting up to it on the day that we were shooting it, as we were shooting it. We had to go back and reshoot a few things because we changed some things.
And it was one of those creative experiences that gave me so much faith and gratitude for the people that I work with, because you know, it's Ryan Condal, Carlton Cuse, Josh Holloway, and me. All three of them are my bosses, you know, like Josh is an VP on the show. And one of the most successful showrunners alive. Ryan, you know, he and Carlton created the show together and at no point did anyone assert like dominance over anyone.
At no point did Carlton go, hey fuck you guys. Just write what I wrote because I'm Carlton Cuse and (fuck) it. Like, never. It was that his (unintelligible) so respectful where everybody was heard. Everybody had a chance to work with one another, and I came away from that, you know, and then so it's written and then Josh and I just go ok and like how to do our thing.
I came away from it with such respect and gratitude for the people that I work with. And really thinking, well since we've been through this together, we've now achieved a new level of trust. We can now do so much more — dangerously, creatively, collaboratively — next season. It was, yes, it was really meaningful, that one.
Can you give us an update on your important work with the IRC and tell us how that work might influence your portrayal of Katie's compassion on Colony?
Sarah Wayne Callies: Well I actually just got back three weeks ago from Serbia. I was with the IRC there following the refugee route from – actually I started in Macedonia, so going up through (unintelligible) all the way up through Belgrade and then up to (Unintelligible) on the Croatian border. Sort of it felt like it was, you know, kind of checking in on my friends, right? But a few years ago, I was teaching camp back in Jordan and (unintelligible) this kind of following the route.
You know, it was a – refugee work is always surprising to me. I always, you know, you go in with things in your head and they all turn out to be wrong. I can't tell you how many people, refugees that I spoke with, at the end of our (unintelligible) with the (bears) and said, may God bless you and may you be safe and I hope you're well. And I'm going…
Sarah Wayne Callies: I am. Thank you. I'm fine. It's no, God bless you and may you be safe and may you be well. I mean, there's such a large (estimate) of generosity of spirit. You know, I came away from it really hopeful and positive because of work that the IRC and all of these amazing international aid agencies are doing. It's really working.
Sarah Wayne Callies: There's a lot of protection. There's a lot of services. There's a lot of information. There's a lot of dignity and humanity being delivered to a population that has had very little of either in the last five years with this eternal war that's been going on.
And the thing that everybody kept saying to me was as long as the borders stay open and as long as the aid keeps coming in, we can do this. And there's such smart, creative people who made up all of these amazing solutions. The day I left, Macedonia started restricting people and Austria started restricting people and borders have been slamming shut ever since.
And so what breaks my heart is knowing that we had a working system in place of getting people from these terrifying, horrible war zones into safety, and the route is almost gone now. And (question) – no one's going to go home, right? No one's going to be like, sorry. They closed the border? All right. I'm going to go back and live in Homs in my pile of rubble with no food and bombs dropping every day. No one's going to do that. So they're going to try and find another way to get there. And that puts them the way of smugglers and traffickers and they're going to end up in sex slavery and young boys are being routinely raped and you know what I mean? We haven't solved the problem. We just made sure that a population that has already been suffering is going to continue to suffer. And that kind of breaks my heart.
As for how that folds into Katie, I don't know. I think, you know, for me personally maybe the part of it that really changed in me, I've never been afraid to do refugee work before. But getting on the plane, I was scared. Not scared of refugees — I'm not scared of them. But ISIS has been hard (unintelligible) aid workers this past trip with the Middle East. And I had a few moments of going maybe I shouldn't go. I have children. I have family. And the choice to me was to try and walk through the fear hoping that on the other side I would be able to say to people (things) are ok. We can (speak) for compassion without t breaking us.
And I think that Katie's really close to me and so I think Katie represents a similar kind of perspective, which is that maybe we can't be so narrowly focused on the needs and wants of our own family that we turn our backs on needs and wants of other families that can't provide for themselves.
