UCLA Professor Receives CGMA-Sponsored Early Career Researcher Award

LONDON (Reuters) – A combination of heightened risk appetite in global markets and UK-specific optimism lifted the pound on Wednesday, as it strengthened to its highest in nearly three years against the dollar and five-month highs against the euro.
The dollar weakened against major currencies for the third straight session, helped by U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen's urging lawmakers to "act big" on spending and worry about debt later.
The pound rose above $1.37, hitting $1.3720 — its highest since May 2018 — at 1045 GMT. By 1136 GMT it had eased some gains and changed hands at $1.3687, up 0.4% on the day and up 0.2% so far this year.
Versus the euro, the pound hit a five-month high of 88.38 pence per euro, before easing to 88.51 at 1137 GMT, up around 0.5% on the day.
The pound's recent strengthening can be attributed in part to relief among investors that the impact of Brexit has not caused the chaos some feared, as well as a lessening of negative rates expectations, said Neil Jones, head of FX sales at Mizuho.
"Going into early 2021, there was a bearish sentiment building into the pound on the Brexit deal, in terms of maybe it had a limited reach, and then secondly an expectation of negative rates and so to some extent the market has been cutting down on sterling shorts because neither of those things have been quite so apparent as they were," he said.
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said last week that there were "lots of issues" with cutting interest rates below zero – a comment which caused sterling to jump.
The UK's progress in rolling out vaccines is also seen as a positive for investors, Jones said.
Currently, the United Kingdom has vaccinated 4.27 million people with a first dose of the vaccine, among the best in the world per head of population.
"Further progress in vaccinations (a pick-up in the daily rate) by the time the BoE MPC meeting takes place on 4th February may prove enough to hold off on any additional monetary easing," wrote Derek Halpenny, head of research for global markets at MUFG.
Inflation data for December showed that prices in the UK picked up by more than expected in December, to a 0.6% annual rate.0.6
Inflation has been below the Bank of England's 2% target since mid-2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic pushed it close to zero as the economy tanked.

LONDON (Reuters) – The euro struggled to join a broader risk rally against the dollar on Wednesday as analysts said the risk of extended lockdowns in Europe to combat the spread of COVID-19 and the continent's lag in a vaccine rollout were weighing on the currency.
Down 0.1% against the dollar at $1.2117 by 1130 GMT, Europe's shared currency had only the safe-haven Swiss franc and Sweden's crown for company in resisting a broad rally against the greenback by the G-10 group of currencies.
"We're getting more headlines that the current lockdowns will be extended further, which could mean that the euro zone would be flirting with a double-dip recession before long," said Valentin Marinov, head of G10 FX research at Credit Agricole, noting Europe's lag in rolling out a coronavirus vaccine compared to the United States and Britain.
"So all of that plays into the story that tomorrow's ECB meeting, while uneventful in terms of policy announcements, could convey a relatively dovish message to the market. On top of that, President Lagarde could once again jawbone the euro, so the euro is kind of lagging behind."
Marinov also noted price action in the pound, which hit $1.3720 – a 2-1/2-year high – and 88.38 pence – its highest since May 2020 against the euro – as a contributing factor to euro weakness. [GBP/]
There was also focus on a story by Bloomberg News, which reported the European Central Bank was conducting its bond purchases with specific yield spreads in mind, a strategy that would be reminiscent of yield curve control.
Elsewhere, the risk-sensitive Australian dollar gained 0.4% to $0.7727. The New Zealand dollar, also a commodity currency like the Aussie, gained 0.25% to $0.7133.
DOLLAR WEAKNESS
While the world will be watching Joe Biden's inauguration as U.S. president at noon in Washington (1700 GMT), traders were more focused on his policies than the ceremony.
U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen urged lawmakers at her confirmation hearing to "act big" on stimulus spending and said she believes in market-determined exchange rates, without expressing a view on the dollar's direction.
The index that measures the dollar's strength against a basket of peers was up almost 0.1% at 90.510. The euro forms nearly 60% of the dollar index by weight.
It also fell 0.1% against the Japanese yen to 103.81 yen per dollar.
While the dollar has perked up in recent weeks on the back of a rise in U.S. Treasury yields, investors still expect the currency to weaken.
"We remain bearish U.S. dollar, and expect the downtrend to resume as U.S. real yields top out," said Ebrahim Rahbari, FX strategist at CitiFX.
"Continued Fed dovishness remains important for our view, in addition to global recovery, so we'll watch upcoming Fed-speak closely."
Positioning data shows investors are overwhelmingly short dollars as they figure that budget and current account deficits will weigh on the greenback.

UBS Global Wealth Management's chief investment officer Mark Haefele reiterated a bearish view on the dollar, saying that pro-cyclical currencies such as the euro, commodity-producer currencies, and the pound would benefit "from a broadening economic recovery supported by vaccine rollouts".
The cryptocurrency Bitcoin fell 4%, trading at $34,468.

I've dusted off and rediscovered two old favourites from last summer. Remember the Revlon Photoready BB Cream? That caramel tinted cream that evens and perfects, sitting half way between an all-over foundation and a tinted moisturiser? Well it's back into rotation and for low-maintenance days I've just been blending this all over for a subtle, yet kinda covering, glow. No concealer, no powder, no bronzer – that's it. But I've been feeling like I needed something extra in the apple area so called on one of my favourite blushes of all time, the unhelpfully difficult to source in India, Almay Wake up Blush. Whenever people ask what cosmetics they need to stock up on when they're visiting the US this is top of the list. One dust into the product and over the cheeks is all you need to source a natural, yet slightly coral toned flush. Eyes and lips are taken care of by two usual suspects; the Colorbar Zoom & Whoosh Mascara and L'Oreal's Glam Shine Balmy Gloss in Lychee Lust which bring crimped and curled lashes and a light sheen for the pout respectively.
FYI, if I had to cut it to three products I'd save on the blush and just rock my natural flush – there you go there's my 'Three Product Face' post out of the bag too.

Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". The Greatest Movie Never Made
Stanley Kubricks "Napoleon". Der größte Film, der nie gedreht wurde
Hardcover, 21.4 x 27.4 cm, 2.27 kg, 832 pages60
For many years, it was rumored that Kubrick had planned to follow up 2001: A Space Odyssey with a film about Napoleon. In 2009, TASCHEN put the rumors to rest with an exhaustive examination of Kubrick's Napoleon archives in the form of a limited edition featuring ten books—Script, Reference, Notes, Correspondence, Chronology, Production, Text, Costumes, Location Scouting, and Picture File—hidden inside of a carved-out reproduction of a Napoleon history book. This new publication brings all the original elements together in one compact volume, including a facsimile of Kubrick's complete screenplay. In over 800 profusely illustrated pages, this collection of goodies contains all the clues to Kubrick's methods, ideas, motivations, questions, intentions, and obsessions—everything you could ever want to know about the project and more.
The Greatest Movie Never Made
Ten books in one tell the fascinating tale of Kubrick's unfilmed masterpiece
During the post-production of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick began working on his next project, a biopic on Napoleon Bonaparte. The dramatic rise and fall of the French emperor made for a great story, but it was his mind that most interested Kubrick, who couldn't grasp how a brilliant tactician could fall victim to his own irrational temptations—and with devastating consequences.
While working on the script, Kubrick read every book about Napoleon that he could obtain, consulted with history experts, and amassed a database of research material that was by any standards excessive, including over 30,000 illustrations and location-scouting photos. Costumes were researched and designed, including paper military uniforms (to keep costs down). But as production neared, first M.G.M. and then United Artists got cold feet; historical epics were too risky at the time. Surely they regret it now, but cost of production was, in their opinion, not worth the risk.
Kubrick's interest in Napoleon continued throughout the rest of his life, but the budget required to do the film the way he wanted was never realistic. Had he lived until the thousands of soldiers and horses he envisioned in the epic battle scenes could be convincingly rendered by computer, perhaps he would have made Napoleon. Perhaps it would have been his greatest achievement.

Information about Commerce Degrees
Commerce is a sub-field of business and economics that comprises all the activities that lead to the exchange of goods and services from producers to clients. It deals with buying, selling and investing, the distribution of products, covering market demand and creating new business opportunities, among others. E-commerce is a branch of commerce that has rapidly evolved over the years, which implies the acquisition and sale of products via the internet.
Universities and business colleges from the Commonwealth nations offer special degrees in commerce such as Bachelors of Commerce (B.Com.), or Bachelors of Commerce and Administration (BCA), at the undergraduate level, and Masters of Commerce (M.Com.) at the graduate level. Concentrations in commerce include multinational commerce, accounting, finance, marketing or project management.
Commerce degrees aim to deliver multi-disciplinary knowledge and essential skills for the modern business world. Because trading is an essential day-to-day activity, graduates in commerce can easily find positions in corporations, small businesses, non-profit organisations, banks, outsourcing, insuring, audit and consulting firms, in governmental agencies or in the e-commerce industry.

On March 3rd, Growing Places held the 7th annual Food Gardener's Gathering to kick off the growing season! The open-house style event featured a pop-up farmer's market, informational tables, a seed swap, and breakout sessions throughout the morning. Food enthusiasts and gardeners from across the region gathered to make connections and learn about how to grow their own food. My role as a TerraCorps member serving as Youth Education Coordinator was to make this the first year that the event had youth programming. I hosted a breakout session for youth centered around soil. I taught the kids about how compost worms turn yucky old food into amazing soil that plants love. Everyone got to hold a squiggling worm as we talked about worm facts (did you know that worms have 5 hearts?) and then we had a bin of dirt where everyone had a chance to use some garden tools to scoop, rake, and pat.
I also hosted a tabling activity where the kids learned about up-cycling a 2-liter plastic bottle into a flower that they can decorate their garden with. While the kids were painting their flowers, we were able to talk about why plastic can be harmful to the environment and it is a good idea to keep it out of landfills. We also were able to talk about how excited they were to start gardening with their families! In the words of one of the youth, "Gardening is so much fun, I can't wait to grow everything".


Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The Preamble to the United Nations Charter states that the Organization was founded to prevent and resolve international conflicts and help build a culture of peace in the world. Peace and democracy are inextricably linked. Together, they form a partnership that promotes the well-being of all. Embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, democracy supports an environment for a host of political rights and civil liberties. In line with the Day's theme, something profoundly remarkable is happening in the world. Young women and men everywhere are demonstrating the power of solidarity by reaching out and rallying together for the common goal of dignity and human rights. This powerful force brings with it the potential to create a peaceful and democratic future. Add your voice!
There are many ways to participate in democratic practices, including taking part in dialogue on constitutional processes, advocating for civil society empowerment, joining the struggle for gender equality and against discrimination, engaging in civic education and promoting voter registration.
As Coordinators and chapters leaders of Children of the Earth, The International Day of Peace offers us globally, a shared date to organize events and undertake deeds celebrating the importance of peace and democracy in realistic and useful ways. This seemed like an amazing and wonderful challenge to me when I first heard about the chance to make a contribution to International Day of Peace. While we are just starting up with Children of the Earth in the Netherlands I gave it some clear thought on how to contribute to a sustainable peace in the Netherlands while making a small effort that could also be the start of Children of the Earth Netherlands. Currently, in our country we are facing issues with the discrimination of minority groups in the Netherlands. It seems as if in our country that was once known to be tolerant there are some people that seem to be blaming everyone with a different religion, color of skin, cultural background or nationality. Hopefully this small contribution from me personally but also three girls I just met will help us to again show us the beauty of the diversity of life, as well as the value of recognizing the difference in each other that can unite but also tear us apart sometimes. It starts with the idea of learning from each other's uniqueness, trying not to harm, being tolerant and respectful from where there's a basis for friendship. Hope this inside view in the life of three teenagers shows that peace doesn't need a quite quiet place but can be right there in the middle of the crowdedness of daily life. Peace needs our heart to stay calm within this busy world we live in. And this is where I found three Dutch girls from the third grade of the Wolfert van Borselen Tweetalig (bilingual college) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The school offers high quality education within an international environment for children that are active and curious by nature and have the ambition to develop this further during their future professional lives. For example next to English, French and German they have Chinese and Spanish within their curriculum as well. Even though they have very busy schedules that start at twenty past eight in the morning till four in the afternoon where after they need to do loads and loads of homework they found some time to do a service learning project in which they speak with me about friendship, tolerance and their various cultural backgrounds.
Please let me introduce you this year with the International Peace Day of the United Nations to the three girls Sadhana (14), Asya (15) and Aslı (14). Sadhana is both Hindu and Surinam at the same time. Her mom is half Surinam and half Hindu. Her dad is full Hindu. She believes in Hinduism and that's why she doesn't eat beef. Sadhana likes shopping, playing tennis and girly things like putting on make-up and wearing jewelry. Asya is of TurkishTurkish origin. Her mom and dad are both Turkish. She's a Muslim and that's why she doesn't eat pork though she is not going to the mosque and she doesn't wear a head kerchief, so she is not extremely religious. She participates in the Ramadan, though. Asya likes to play basketball, skating and boyish stuff like teasing the other two girls. Aslı is half Turkish and half Dutch from origin. Her mom is from Turkey and her dad is from Holland. She feels primarily Dutch, does not eat pork and does sometimes participate in the Ramadan. She is also celebrating Christmas and Easter. Aslı likes horse riding, karate and spending time with family and friends. Actually, she is not religious. Secretly, I was wondering what friendship means for these girls and how they would describe their friendships.
So, what's friendship? I asked. According to Asya it means that you are doing crazy stuff together and that you can hang out as long as you and whatever you are doing, you can always count on your friends. Also Aslı thinks friendship is about fun stuff and that your friends are always there for you no matter whatever stupid thing you and that they can laugh with you. Sadhana believes friends is about being there for each other, protecting each other in difficult times and do things for each other for which you don't immediately want something in return. When I asked them why they are friends and what makes their friendship special and important the girls came up with different reasons: Aslı thought Asya and Sadhana are very nice and crazy girls while they always come up with the craziest ideas to which she can't say no as they are so funny. They also speak a bit of each other's language and that makes their friendship extra special. Asya also thinks her friends are funny and she loves doing crazy and funny things together, as well. They are all from different cultures and that makes their relations special while you don't see this that often. Asya says that besides they are having a lot of fun together the other two are very sweet girls and they really understand each other while they have a special "click". Because of that "click" they often think the same. It seems like for these young girls it is the case that even though they are from very different cultural backgrounds they still speak the very same language. These are such wonderful girls, I thought.
Nevertheless I was wondering how they would experience each other's cultures. The subsequent question I posed was therefore: What do you like about each other´s cultures? Sadhana answered that she thinks the food in Turkey is really nice and it´s real fun to hear Aslı speak Turkish, because when she does she mostly uses very bad words! Aslı, on the other hand, likes the Hindi and Surinam cultural background of Sadhana very much while at her house they are always friendly and hospitable. This is the same with Asya´s where they are Muslim at home. Because Aslı is not fully a Muslim she always learns new things about her own culture from Asya. So they have many things to talk about! Asya thinks it´s funny that the Hindu and Muslim culture are so similar while for example when celebrating a wedding they also do this for three days, just like within the Islamic culture. Next to that she really likes the Surinam food of her other friend Sadhana. Also the girls thought that because of their different cultural backgrounds it´s sometimes real nice to make fun of each other!
Aren´t you sometimes also a bit unfriendly with each other? I asked them. This because I could almost not believe the girls are always getting along that well while spending so much time with each other. Sadhana is stressed out very quickly about small things and Aslı sometimes talks through my story, Asya said. Asya talks very much so I often don´t get her, actually most of the times, Aslı responds. Sadhana is really stressed, she continued. Aslı really talks too much about the same things sometimes, Sadhana came up with.
Before creating more tensions between the young girls I decided to leave the subject and go further with the following question. What is it actually they have really learned from each other? And what do they learn from each other´s cultural backgrounds? Aslı learned from Sadhana that you can have fun even though you are busy with school. You just need to make a bit more time for each other and then it can even be fun to learn and study. From Asya she learned that she needs to respect people and talk positive about them. Also she learned that Hinduism is not that bad and that being a Muslim doesn´t necessary mean that you are being strict all the time. Also she learned a lot about Hinduism from Sadhana and that it´s really much more than just not eating beef. From Aslı she learned that you don´t have to chose between being a Muslim and a Christian and that you have the freedom to be whoever you want to be. Sadhana, on the other hand, has learned from Aslı that Turkish people are much more than just people that wear a head kerchief. She also learned from Aslı that everything in the world is possible. You just need to want it very badly and make an effort to achieve it. From Asya she learned how to be open to all kind of people without judging them on beforehand. I thought these were lovely, kind and mostly very wise girls. Even though they are very young, they seemed to understand the deepest secrets of life about which some other people would never learn. Hopefully they will keep this treasure within their hearts for the rest of their lives! And even better, perhaps they would teach others how to do the same.

Purpose of this thread is to show the internal issues and strife and how inept British army is when not at war. Please use the thread for posting of issues relating to issues in army internally.
The British Army is investigating a series of homophobic and threatening remarks made by a soldier in response to a teenager who claims to have been subjected to a vicious homophobic attack.
Posting to a public Facebook profile under the name 'Dean Venno', Infantry Rifleman Dean Ventre, said he was "sick of gay lads posting pictures of them[selves]", following violent homophobic attacks.
Bullying which lead to attempted suicide. Reflection of corporals pulling rank?
A former British private is suing the Ministry of Defence over allegations the army allowed severe bullying which led to him attempting to take his own life five times.
said that he received death threats and was stabbed in the leg at the height of constant abuse centred on his stutter but that officers laughed off the threats and no one was punished.


Continuing the theme of the last month of Wednesday posts here about the iPad tablet computer and its future in health care would have been so much dead-horse beating if it weren't for today's unveiling of the Dell Streak, a tasty little 5-inch tablet running the Google Android operating system. Not yet available in the United States, it will hit Europe June 1.
According to analysts interviewed by the BBC, computer manufacturers will sell seven figures' worth of tablet computers this year. All those won't be iPads either, with Microsoft's Steve Ballmer showing off a Hewlett-Packard Slate tablet computer last January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
What does it all mean for health care providers? First, none of this changes that fact that docs and nurses love their iPhones and younger iPad siblings, which run the same operating system. But without Flash, the iPhone OS is less functional than the Android OS, which the Streak runs. Health care workers now can choose among several devices to help them administer patient care, and even if they still prefer the iPhone, competition will fuel innovation and drive down pricing for all devices. If Steve Jobs wants to burrow into the health care tech world, he'll have to do more than just wow the sycophantic audiences who breathlessly witness his product unveilings.
Second, it means that IT leaders, who might not be as sanguine about supporting the iPhone OS on their systems — and don't tend to bow down at the altar of Apple — also have a choice. Dell, which partnered with the American Medical Association to provide health IT services to physicians, has positioned itself — Streak in hand — to blow the doors off the iPad, possibly before the dust settles on the first stage of the meaningful use rules. Even if the Streak's alleged followup, a 7-inch version, turns out only to be a rumor.
It's going to be a long, hot summer for the tablet computer market. There is no doubting tablets' usefulness in facilitating more and better face-to-face health care over desktops, laptops and even paper charts. The question is, which vendor wants it most?

MAYOR EVERETTE CLARK: NEARLY FOUR DECADES OF SERVICE TO MARION
A flyer from Clark's first campaign
Everette Clark came to Marion in the early 1960s from South Carolina as manager of B.C. Moore and Sons clothing store. He soon bought his own store and was a merchant on main street for over twenty years. In 1972 he was elected to a seat on Marion City Council where he served until becoming Mayor in 1985. The citizens of Marion kept Mr. Clark in that position for two dozen years, but he announced that he would not run for re-election in
The Mayor in his office in 2009.
2009. Instead he sought and won a return to City Council. Everette Clark sat down with us to discuss his time running a downtown business as well as his tenure as Mayor. He talks about some of the challenges that the city has faced and how it has responded, and continues to respond, to them.
And here's a tidbit that might make you believe in destiny if you don't already: The first apartment where Mr. Clark and his wife lived in Marion was located on North Main Street. The building was later torn down to make way for…the new city hall. When the Mayor sits at his desk, he's only a few steps away from where his old apartment stood!

THE 1929 MARION TEXTILE STRIKE
In 1929, strikes began to break out at textile mills across the American South. The mill workers' discontent stemmed from long hours at low pay, deplorable working conditions, and the general callousness with which they were treated by their employers. In the spring of '29 a strike began in Elizabethton, TN followed by Greenville, SC and Gastonia, NC.
In May of that year, workers at Marion Manufacturing sought assistance from the United Textile Workers Union after they were ordered to work additional time each day without additional pay. In about a month, the union was strong enough in Marion to hold an open meeting at the county courthouse with employees from Marion Manufacturing and nearby Clinchfield Mill attending. Officers were chosen and soon the organization boasted several hundred members. Differing opinions about the unionization of Marion's textile mills tore families and the community apart. Tensions escalated through the summer and confrontations increased.
The strike was so divisive that no church would hold services for the slain workers. Instead, their coffins were placed on saw horses in a field near the mill.
In the early morning of October 2, 1929, workers who had "walked out" and other workers picketing outside Marion Manufacturing soon found themselves in deadly conflict with the sheriff, six of his deputies, and seven anti-union employees who had been deputized on the spot. Tear gas was released and a flurry of shots followed. Three mill workers died immediately and three more died of their wounds over the coming days. Dozens of workers were wounded. The events at Marion Manufacturing became front page news across the country, and famed author and columnist Sinclair Lewis came to town to write about the situation.
In 2004, Mike Lawing published his book The Marion Massacre, the most comprehensive examination of the Marion events to date. The next year, Kim Clark and Ellen Pfirrmann of public radio WNCW produced "Strike", a week-long series about the Marion strike largely based around Lawing's work.

Hans-Gert Pöttering about Tunne Kelam:
Tunne Kelam is one of the top persons in restoring independence and parliamentary democracy to his country, which was illegally occupied by the Soviet Union for half a century. He has also had a key role in turning Estonian from East to the West, contributing decisively to the introduction of the rule of law society, to the creation of foundations of the newly born Estonian Republic and to the successful accession of his country to the European Union.
Born in Tallinn on July 10, 1936, Tunen Kelam was able to live only the first four years in independent Estonia. The following 51 years of his life were spent under the Soviet Union´s totalitarian rule which imposed on Estonia in 1940. He studied history but was unable to make career in this field because he refused to participate in official policy which aimed at distorting the real history to justify the Communist Party dictatorship. He became senior scientific editor of the Estonian Soviet Encyclopedia, and fought hard to make it as informative as possible despite official censorship. During Krhrushchev´s relative "thaw" period Tunne Kelam was also a popular lecturer and commentator on international affairs. However, his independent way of presenting the 1968 Prague spring reforms resulted in ousting him from the public life.
Tunne Kelam was engaged in organizing underground opposition groups which tired to keep alive the ideas of democracy and independence. In 1972, Kelam became the author of an appeal by two democratic groups to the United Nations, asking for help to evacuate the Soviet occupation troops and organize free elections. Tunne Kelam and his friends advocated for peaceful restoration of independence, based on the United Nation's Charter and Estonia's legal continuity which was recognized by the United States and other democratic powers. The Soviet KGB reacted to these activities, arresting several people for "slandering the Soviet Union". Tunne Kelam narrowly escaped arrest but was fired from the Encyclopaedia and back listed. In spite of regular KGB harassment and surveillance, Tunne Kelam decided to continue his activities, relying on Moscow's human rights commitments to the 1975 Helsinki Conference. For twelve following years he mediated information about the violation of human rights to the West and helped to spread among his countrymen news which the Soviet censorship suppressed. Tunne Kelam was particularly active in translating and distributing information about the Polish "Solidarity" movement. Already under Gorbachev´s rule, in 1985, he was officially warned by the KGB about his "anti-Soviet" activities.
Since 1987, Tunne Kelam, worked openly for the restoration of democracy and independence. In 1988 he was one of the founders of the Estonian National Independence Party – the first non-Communist political party in the Soviet Union. After this audacious attempt to break the monopoly of the Communist party succeeded, other parties followed suite. In 1989, Tunne Kelam became one of the initiators and leaders of the Citizens Committees´ movement which set the goal to register legal citizens of the de iure existing Estonian Republic. In one year, despite the resistance of the Soviet authorities, Citizens Committees became the most important civil initiative in Estonian history. Both at home and abroad, almost 800.000 persons, still having the Soviet passports, registered themselves as citizens of the Republic of Estonia. This became the most important referendum in favouring restoring Estonia as a fully independent state on the basis of legal continuity. In February 1990, the registered citizens elected Congress of Estonia which became a democratic alternative to the existing Supreme Soviet, having mandate to decide about the citizenship and other fundamental issues of Estonia. Tunne Kelam was elected chairman of this transition time parliament. In August 1991, he contributed decisively to the achievement of a national understanding between Congress of Estonia and the Supreme Soviet which resulted in restoration of independence.
Tunne Kelam was member of the Constitutional Assembly of Estonia in 1991-92. In 1992, he was elected to the first independence time parliament, the Riigikogu, and served as Vice-President of this body for 10 years. He contributed actively to the creation of a new legislative framework for the rule of law society. However, his main efforts were concentrated to international activities.
Tunne Kelam was invited to the European Parliament already before restoration of independent Estonia. In January 1990, he visited Strasbourg as a guest of the EPP group. He became actively engaged in the activities of the EDU and later joined the EPP. Kelam headed the first Estonian parliamentary delegation to the Council of Europe and contributed to the adoption of Estonia as a full member of this organization in 1993. He also served as PACE Vice President and rapporteur for Ukraine (1997-2001).
In 1995, Tunne Kelam´s National Independence Party and Mart Laar´s Pro Patria merged under the name of Pro Patria Union. The consolidation of centre-right forces resulted in their election victory in 1999 and in the formation of Mart Laar´s second government. In 1996 Kelam was candidate for the post of Estonian president.
As the first Chairman of parliament's European Affairs Committee (1997-2003), Tunne Kelam led the parliamentary efforts to successfully join the European Union. He was Co-Chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Cooperation Committee. In 2002-2003, as a member of the Convention on the Future of Europe, Kelam participated in drafting the European Constitutional Treaty. Following the tradition of being a path-breaker at every stage of his life, Tunne Kelam became in 2003 one of the first six Estonian members of the European Parliament and joined the EPP-ED group.
Tunne Kelam has been spiritually close to the ideas of united Europe for many years. One of the sources of his inspiration was the Estonian translation of Coudenhove-Kalergi´s book "Total state – total man" which was published a few months before the Soviet take over of Estonia in 1940. He is an advocate of the practical importance of the common European cultural heritage and has been personally inspired by the Christian and ethical dimension of the European integration. Tunne Kelam has been associated with the Pan-European movement and has contributed to the several conferences organized under the auspices of Otto von Habsburg. Two years ago, he participated in publishing a selection of writings by Robert Schuman and wrote an introduction for the Estonian reader. One of his favourite quotations is Robert Schuman's definition: "democracy is either Christian or it is non-existent. Because a non-Christian democracy leads only to anarchy or tyranny."
In February 2006, on occasion of the 88th anniversary of the Estonian Republic, Tunne Kelam received for his contribution to the restoration of the Estonia's independence and to the reinforcement of the statehood the highest decoration of Estonia – the Class One Order of the National Coat of Arms. It is worth mentioning that between 1919-2005 only five persons have been rewarded with the class One Order. This year four more individuals were added to the above mentioned company of honour, the former president Lennart Meri and Tunne Kelam among them.
Knowing his biography, one can understand the great personality of Tunne Kelam – what he has done for the liberty of his country and of Europe. We are proud to have Tunne Kelam in our group. It is a great honour to hand over today the Robert Schuman medal to our friend Tunne Kelam.

Rev. Gary Mason. Tomer Appelbaum
'Distorted Christian Theology Is What Generated the Holocaust'
The Church has a blood-drenched, barbaric past, says Rev. Gary Mason, a leader of the Northern Ireland reconciliation movement. But religious leaders can be agents of healing, too
Ayelett Shani
Send me email alerts for new articles by Ayelett Shani
Talking to: Rev. Dr. Gary Mason, lives in Belfast, a leader of the reconciliation movement in Northern Ireland. Where: The lobby of his hotel in Tel Aviv. When: Wednesday, 12 noon
You were a little boy when the "Troubles" began in Northern Ireland. What do you remember from that time?
When I was a very little boy, there was still a certain amount of integration in Belfast. On the small street where I grew up, in a Protestant-Unionist neighborhood, there were also a few Catholic families. By the end of the 1960s, that had changed. People were forced to leave their homes. Each side closed itself off in neighborhoods of their own. When evening fell, the bombs started. As a boy, I knew that every night when I went to sleep I would hear bombs and gunshots. I also knew that when they said on the news that someone had been killed [on one side], within a few hours we would hear about someone being killed on the other side. I think that to children of my generation, it seemed perfectly natural for people to have to or want to choose the path of political violence and terror.
As a youth, were you approached to join a militia?
Of course. I absolutely remember one night, when I was a boy, how friends of mine entered a certain room together. I knew why.
What happens when pro-Trump Christians weaponize the Bible
Why Israel's occupation isn't more 'brutal and ferocious' than Britain's in Ireland
Trump choosing a 'Jews are going to hell' evangelical to pray at the Jerusalem embassy is offensive. But it's no accident
Northern Ireland dismantles barrier between Catholic and Protestant schools, offering lessons for Israel
Why didn't you join them?
I don't know why I didn't. There are probably a lot of sociological, psychological, theological explanations. I saw how people were pushed into making dreadful decisions. I have a friend who told me that he goes to sleep every night with the faces of the people he killed. When I go to sleep I get into bed with a book. No faces haunt me.
I came across a quote of yours to the effect that "decommissioning our minds is even more important than decommissioning our guns."
Right. You can always get another gun. It's words and not guns that created our world; it's thoughts and beliefs that generated anti-Semitism, racial and religious segregation. I was taught from birth that Catholics drown Protestants [referring to a massacre perpetrated in 1641 at what is now Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland]. On the other side, Catholic children grew up with the image of Oliver Cromwell and his army plunging spears into the hearts of Protestants. So the only truly important question in conflicts is what we do now, how we cope with the past and stop transmitting the pain from one generation to the next.

That's not easy when you've grown up with an "us versus the enemy" narrative. In this context, the identification of the sides in Ireland with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very interesting: There are Palestinian flags flying in the streets of Belfast.
In general, the Protestants in Northern Ireland support the Israelis, while the Catholics back the Palestinians. We host a lot delegations of Israelis in Belfast, and they're stunned when they see the Palestinian flags. The Catholics and the IRA see themselves as being under occupation, like the Palestinians. They also maintained relations with the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] in the early 1970s.
Now, if you ask Catholic Republicans what happened in Northern Ireland, they'll claim that the war broke out when the British Army went into the streets. The Protestants will claim that it took place because the IRA tore Belfast to pieces with bombs, and body parts were hurled into the streets. You're familiar with that here, in Israel, exactly as I am. Thirty-thousand political prisoners passed through our penal system. Since all those prisoners were released, in the wake of the agreement [the 1998 Good Friday Agreement], only 3 percent of them have broken the law again.
So you have to ask yourself: Are those people psychotics, or were they motivated by what they saw as injustice and systemic weakness in the face of the killings and the assault on their community? I think of it in terms of people who made horrible decisions for the supposedly right reasons. The question is, how to cope with it. How to cope with what we did to each other? In the end, people have to live with the fact that the person who murdered their father or their son is walking about free, and they may see him on the street.
It's somewhat similar to the situation in Rwanda. After the genocide, people had to reconcile with neighbors who had massacred their families.
I once heard a bishop from Rwanda who belonged to the reconciliation forces talk about the process. I admit that I'm unable to comprehend how it worked there. How there were no more murders. Even in our context, I'm not sure I understand how the killing simply stopped.
What's interesting in your peace agreement is that it was accepted with the full cooperation of the people, not over their heads. Everyone got to speak his piece and take part in the discussions, even terrorists.
That's the difference between a political peace process and a social peace process, and that's what I've come to Israel to talk about. [Mason, the founder of an organization called Rethinking Conflict, was in Israel as part of a series of events intended to present new approaches to conflict resolution.] Civil society in Northern Ireland feels ownership and partnership over the agreement; from their point of view it's not something that the politicians arranged over their heads. Even though what happened with us is what sociologists call "second-choice peace," meaning that in the process itself, none of the sides got exactly what it wanted.
And that's also part of the criticism of the agreement. Even now, there are powerful tensions, and physical separation between the communities. Brexit also seems to have jolted the status quo.
Fundamentally, our society is still divided. The agreement we reached is far from perfect. Even today, 20 years after the agreement was signed, 90 percent of the people continue to live in segregated neighborhoods. That's part of the city. But what is changing is that there are more and more marriages between the sides. Brexit rocked Northern Ireland, which has effectively been run without a government for the past 14 months. . There are tensions, even after the agreement.
Maybe it's impossible to leave the past behind.

I have a sociologist friend named John Brewer who uses the phrase "remembering forward"; he likens it to observation through a car's rearview mirror. Anyone who drives a car and looks only through the rearview mirror ends up crashing. The problem of many societies that are caught up in conflict is that they look only through that mirror. Of course, we don't want to deny the past, but we also don't want to live in it.
The past is used to justify positions in the present and the future.
We all learned the history, it's imprinted upon us. We all know what happened, where and when, and it's always couched in terms of "what was done to me." Never what I did to the other side.
I'm not saying that people should be denied their historical narratives – because that's what shapes them as people. But when the historical narrative drags me backward and prevents me from moving ahead, we need to think about what to do. In the words of my friend: how to remember forward and not backward, to recreate the narrative, such that there will be recognition of the past, but without allowing it to control and determine the future.
'Theological virulence'
In this sense, Israel is built on the memory of the past. The legacy is post-traumatic stress disorder: Attempts were made to annihilate us in the past, and more attempts will be made in the future. We are a persecuted nation, we always were and we always will be.
In this context, I am critical of the Church, even though I am part of it. Distorted Christian theology is what generated the Holocaust. What Hitler did was to take Christian religious anti-Semitism and turn it into racist Nazi anti-Semitism.
That is a far-reaching allegation, coming from a clergyman.
The Church was saturated with anti-Semitism. In Moldova, at the beginning of the 20th century, priests led marches in the streets and called for the killing of Jews. The Church has a blood-drenched, barbaric past. The Church has many things to its credit, but these things are to its discredit.
I know that Jews and Israelis feel threatened and persecuted, and I think the Church has a part in this. I've read hundreds of books about the Holocaust. I think that I have a good understanding of how the narrative of Jewish and Israeli thought was shaped, and that the contemporary Christian Church does not recognize the contaminated theology that shaped that narrative. By the way, I also don't think that the war in Northern Ireland was a religious war.
What was it, then?
I would say that bad theology shaped the mentality and the way of life such that it also swept up completely secular people. In my view, there are religious leaders who need to ask themselves what role they played in this. I believe that the reason of reasons was not religious belief but an in-built difficulty between the two communities, which was nurtured and intensified by the theological virulence, to the point where a narrative of religious war was fomented. At the beginning of the 1990s, there were actually three major conflicts: the Israeli-Palestinian, South Africa and Northern Ireland. The prevailing assumption was that Israel and South Africa would reach agreements in the near future, while the Northern Ireland conflict was irresolvable. Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill maintained that there was no prospect of resolving the conflict in Northern Ireland. Both were wrong. In the end, it turned out that with proper leadership, it's possible.
A chilling message from the Ulster Vounteer Force on a mural in North Belfast, Northern Ireland, Sept 14, 2005. AP
It's doubtful that what's happening in Israel now can be called proper leadership. There's no leadership at all.
Our agreement was achieved through 99 percent persistence and stubbornness, and 1 percent intelligence. Everyone knew what the issues were. Here in Israel, too, everyone knows what the issues are. There's not going to be some genius who says, "Hey, just a minute, I have an idea that no one's ever thought of." The question is whether it is possible to live here together, or if we just go on killing one another.
I think the understanding that exists here is that this is the situation, that there is no solution and no choice but to continue paying the price. The conflict in Israel is a non-issue; stop looking for ways to solve it.
Not long ago, I read statistics stating that if we hadn't terminated the [Northern Ireland] conflict, another 2,400 people would have paid with their lives.
That's a huge number, relative to the size of the population.
For a population of a million-and-a-half people at the time, the numbers are: 47,000 wounded, 36,000 cases of gunfire, 22,000 armed robberies, 16,000 bombs, 30,000 security prisoners and 4,000 deaths.
Victims, some of whom you knew well.
You know, I never took psychiatric medication, but I think that I suffer from secondary PTSD. In October 1993, less than a mile from my church, an attack took place that would become known as the Shankill Road bombing. Eight innocent people were killed, and many more were wounded. When I visited the hospital, I met a fellow from my congregation who'd lost his wife that night. I had married them. Her name was Sharon McBride. She and her father were killed in the attack. Another woman was killed, too, Wilma McKee. On Friday she received the news she'd been waiting for so eagerly – that she was cancer-free. On Saturday she was killed.
Twenty-five years have passed since that night, and if I close my eyes I can still tell you the exact shade of the wall in the hospital corridor. The pain and the horror of that night will stay with me until the day I die. After that attack, a friend and I had to stop a group of Protestants who were planning to enter a Catholic church with firearms and simply mow down everyone there, in revenge. We cajoled. We talked. We even begged. In the end they didn't carry out a large-scale attack, but they killed two Catholics.
After seeing so much bloodshed, you took an active part in the peace process as one of 12 religious leaders.
We all worked in a field in which people were being killed on a daily basis, and everyone knew who killed them and why. There was a great fear that all the people who were making an effort to achieve the agreement would change their minds and back off. We needed to identify where there was potential for violence and take action to suppress it. All along, we spoke with people, asked them if they had intentions of doing something; we deepened and consolidated the personal relations with them. It was amazingly complicated, because there were disagreements even within the camps themselves. There were some who felt that these things were being forced on them and wanted to respond by murdering people.
Murdering people from their own side.
Yes. The night before a funeral service that I was to perform, of a person from our congregation who'd been murdered by a member of another congregation, I received calls saying that there were intentions to try to stop the funeral and attack the participants. I went to try to appease people whom I knew were enemies of the deceased. I explained to them that throughout the whole history of the conflict no religious leader had ever been forced to stop a funeral. I told them that I might soon have to bury one of them. After all, that wasn't an imaginary scenario. What would their family feel then? It was a long, hard talk, but in the end they acceded. That's the advantage religious leaders have over political leaders: We have moral authority and close relations with people whom we accompany from their infancy.
While you yourselves stand on both sides of the barrier.
I think we had a deep understanding that we need to create a moral frame of reference for this whole conflict, because there's no better way if you're trying to persuade terrorists to lay down their arms.
Religion has to be transformed from the bone of contention to the bridge of reconciliation.
Yes. The first step is to make the enemy human. [The philosopher] David Livingstone Smith has said that genocide is preceded by dehumanization.
That's a lesson the Jews learned from their own cruel experience.
The Jews underwent a process of systematic dehumanization whose end result was genocide, and we are sitting in a room with people from whose point of view those on the other side were not human beings. Someone once told me that he heard an extreme religious speech, which made him feel that God was inside him. I replied that it certainly wasn't a religious speech, because that speech had driven him to murder two people. I think that the religious leaders in Northern Ireland, as in Israel, have an obligation to their publics to choose their words carefully, to spread messages of healing, not divisiveness and escalation.
What I hear most when I speak to my Israeli friends is hopelessness. They believe that there is no real chance to rectify or improve the situation. I believe that one of the things that was critical to the process in Northern Ireland was that the leaders visited South Africa in the 1990s. Of course, they didn't return with a recipe for success, just as I don't think it's possible to take our agreement as a model to resolve the conflict in Israel. But they came back with hope, and when they started to speak in the language of hope in the public space, civil society, too, gradually started to believe that there might be hope.
In Israel, it's customary to treat people who express hope for a solution of the conflict as if they're naive or detached from reality.
I know. I have Israeli friends from every corner of the political map. I also know that the last thing you need is for some character from Belfast to come and lecture you as if he knows everything. I don't know everything. I don't even know if what I do know can be of help. I'll be happy if you use my words in any way you see fit, because I think Israeli society needs – for the sake of your children, for the sake of your children's children – a narrative of hope. I think you want to know that they will grow up in a space of peace and tranquility. I think that's what everyone wants – Israelis, Palestinians, Irish, Africans.

If someone invites you over for a homemade Thanksgiving dinner (turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, cranberries & pumpkin pie) no matter how good or bad the food was, you should lift them up, in their chair, and carry them around the neighborhood like the Rose Parade with everyone following and cheering for the cook. You might even build a float for them made out of plywood and turkey feathers, because cooking Thanksgiving dinner is a huge accomplishment for even the most experienced cook. After the parade, send them to Hawaii for a week. They'll need it.
After every Thanksgiving turkey dinner I make, I always say, "Next year, we're going out. I'm not doing this again. It's too stressful!" But then we go out and the food is awful and I miss my home cooking so I do it again. All this is to explain why I have no turkey dinner recipes to share. But I do have sides and desserts!
I wish I could share a fabulous roast turkey or stuffing recipe but I've never made my stuffing the same way twice. I make a bread stuffing and sometimes I add mushrooms, sometimes shredded apple, sometimes walnuts, and sometimes all of the above. And my turkey? Well, I've roasted it upside down, right side up, brined it, bagged it, rubbed it, and I still don't have a recipe I can share.
But I do have these four contributions to Thanksgiving cooks that I hope you enjoy.

Jean Froissart's Chronicles were one of the most popular historical works of the late medieval period. Covering the period between 1322 and 1400, the work focuses on events in England, France, Scotland, Flanders and the Iberian Peninsula. The Chronicles are an important source for the history of the Hundred Years War (1337–1453).
Born in Valenciennes around 1337, Jean Froissart served at the courts of some of the most prominent figures of the 14th century, among whom were Philippa of Hainault (d. 1369), wife of King Edward III (r. 1327–1377), and Duke Wenceslaus of Luxembourg (d. 1383). Because of his various employments, which allowed him to travel extensively, he collected a great deal of material for his Chronicles. The work is full of detail and testifies to the golden age of medieval chivalry.
A large number of manuscripts of Froissart's Chronicles survive, many of which are lavishly illustrated. The two-volume Harley Froissart (Harley MS 4379 and Harley MS 4380), named after Edward Harley (d. 1741) who owned the manuscripts before they were acquired by the British Museum, is one of the most sumptuous copies of the text. Containing over 20 large images and full-colour foliate borders, the work is a masterpiece of medieval art. Produced in Bruges around 1470, these two manuscripts were later acquired by Philippe de Commynes (d. 1511), a prominent diplomat and historian.

"Turkish attacks against historic sites violate several treaties"
Afrin Canton Historic Artifacts Directorate Member Selahaddin Sîno said Turkey is in violation of the terms of the 1954 Hague Convention with the bombing and pillaging of historic sites.
SHEHBA
Monday, 17 Sep 2018, 17:00
Afrin Canton Historic Artifacts Directorate Member Selahaddin Sîno spoke to ANHA and said historic artifacts and sites don't belong to any one society but to the whole of humanity as a legacy, and that the Turkish state targets the history of civilization in Afrin.
Sîno continued: "When the invading Turkish army and their allied gangs attacked the Afrin Canton, they targeted the historic sites first to erase all traces of civilizations throughout history in Afrin. With these attacks, Turkey is in violation of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict."
Sîno said historic remains belong to the whole of humanity: "Turkey is attacking the joint history of humanity. Because historic artifacts and sites don't belong to any one society but to the whole of humanity as a legacy. Turkey is targeting areas with thousands of years of history and rich culture. Each historic artifact shows how ancient humans have been in the region."
Afrin Canton Historic Artifacts Directorate Member Selahaddin Sîno said the invading Turkish army and their gangs tore down all historic sites, cemeteries and sacred sites: "There are no historic remains left that haven't been damaged by the invading Turkish army and their gangs. The tomb of Hanan Al Islami in the Mishele village of the Shera district, tombs of important Kurdish personalities Nuri Dersimi and Cemil Horo are but a few examples. The Turkish state aims to attack the spirituality and psychology of the society."


This was posted a few months ago, but it seems that a reminder is in order, just in case there is anyone out there who intended to donate, but has not done so just yet. The fundraiser for the Shaolin Master, Shi Xing Long, is coming to an end very soon. There are only about 65 hours left. So far $3000 has been raised,which is wonderful, but Master Shi Xing Long needs about $15,000 to restart his school. The possibility of raising all of the money needed within the next 65 hours is slim, but every little bit helps and even a $10 donation will go a long way. Master Shi Xing Long will continue working and saving money to restart his school and anything we can donate will allow him to open his school that much sooner. Please consider spreading some Christmas cheer to the other side of the world this holiday season. Let's show Master Shi Xing Long what Christmas is all about. Thank you for your donations.
In January of 2013 two, weekend Qi Gong workshops will be available in Amador County. The focus of these workshops is to teach as many people as possible simple Qi Gong routines for health that have been used in China for centuries to maintain healthy, strong, flexible bodies.
The first workshop will be held on Sat. Jan. 5, and will be focused on "Deer Qigong." This form of Qi Gong is part of the "Wu Qin Xi" or "Five Animal Playing" Qi Gong set. The Chinese developed the Deer Qigong routine to mainly focus on balancing and strengthening the kidneys, but many of the exercises are also good for balance; coordination; and back, core, and hip flexibility.
The second workshop will be held on Sat. Jan. 12, and will be covering the "Ba Duan Jin" or "8 Pieces of Brocade" Qigong set. This set is very popular all over the world for its simplicity and the safe nature of all the exercises. This Qi Gong set can really be viewed as a whole body tune-up, with exercises that help improve range of motion, strength the body, improve balance, improve circulation and balance the body's energy flow.
More information about these workshops and their location, time and price of attendance can be found on the new "Workshops and Seminars" page.

Q: Why there is an extra node left behind? I intend to add a node and an edge to a RandomGraph when clicking on one of its
existing nodes and drag the newly generated node to a new position. However, there always
an extra node left behind at the clicked node. What is wrong with the following codes? Please help.
DynamicModule[{ rg },
 rg = RandomGraph[{5, 8}] ;
 edglst = EdgeList[rg];
 vlst = VertexList[rg];
 VPOS = VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[rg, VertexCoordinates];

 EventHandler[
  g = Dynamic@Graph[vlst, edglst, VertexCoordinates -> VPOS,
     VertexSize -> {.04, .04},
     VertexLabels -> "Name",
     PlotRange -> 2,
     EdgeStyle -> {Thick} ],
  {"MouseDown" :>
    (pos = MousePosition["Graphics"];
     ind = Position[ VPOS, Nearest[ VPOS, pos][[1]]][[1, 1]];
     vnumb = Length[vlst] + 1;
     AppendTo[vlst, vnumb];
     AppendTo[VPOS, pos];
     AppendTo[edglst, ind <-> vnumb];
     ind = vnumb; ),
   "MouseDragged" :> ( VPOS [[ ind]] = MousePosition["Graphics"] )
   } ,
  PassEventsDown -> True
   ]
 ]

@ Öskå  If the newly generated node is dragged to an existing node, I intend to joint the two nodes. Please note the following codes, so substitute MouseDown with MouseClicked seems not good enough in this intention.
DynamicModule[{rg}, rg = RandomGraph[{7, 10}];
 edglst = EdgeList[rg];
 vlst = VertexList[rg];
 OVP = VPOS =
   VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[rg, VertexCoordinates];

 EventHandler[g = Dynamic@Graph[vlst, edglst,
     VertexCoordinates -> VPOS,
     VertexSize -> {.04, .04},
     VertexLabels -> "Name",
     PlotRange -> 3,
     EdgeStyle -> {Thick}],
  {"MouseDown" :> (pos = MousePosition["Graphics"];
     ind = Position[VPOS, Nearest[VPOS, pos][[1]]][[1, 1]];
     tmp = ind;
     vnumb = Length[vlst] + 1;
     AppendTo[vlst, vnumb];
     AppendTo[VPOS, pos];
     AppendTo[edglst, ind <-> vnumb];
     ind = vnumb;),
   "MouseDragged" :> (VPOS[[ind]] = MousePosition["Graphics"]),
   "MouseUp" :> (pos2 = MousePosition["Graphics"];
     ind2 = Position[OVP, Nearest[OVP, pos2][[1]]][[1, 1]];
     vnumb = Length[vlst] ;
     vlst = Drop[vlst, -1];
     VPOS = Drop[VPOS, -1];
     edglst = Drop [edglst, -1];
     If[! (MemberQ[edglst, tmp <-> ind2] || MemberQ[edglst, ind2 <-> tmp]),
     AppendTo[edglst, tmp <-> ind2]];
      )
   },
  PassEventsDown -> True
  ]
 ]

A: This is a good question, and I remember talking to someone about this in another Q&A somewhere but I can't find it right now (Update: Kuba found the Q&A about the bug). Some events fire twice for no apparent reason, and you have to build your own mechanism to avoid this unwanted behavior:
DynamicModule[{rg, refreshed = True}, rg = RandomGraph[{5, 8}];
 edglst = EdgeList[rg];
 vlst = VertexList[rg];
 VPOS = VertexCoordinates /. AbsoluteOptions[rg, VertexCoordinates];
 EventHandler[
  g = Dynamic@Graph[vlst, edglst, VertexCoordinates -> VPOS,
     VertexSize -> {.04, .04}, VertexLabels -> "Name",
     PlotRange -> 2, EdgeStyle -> {Thick}], {
   "MouseDown" :> (
     If[refreshed,
      pos = MousePosition["Graphics"];
      ind = Position[VPOS, Nearest[VPOS, pos][[1]]][[1, 1]];
      vnumb = Length[vlst] + 1;
      AppendTo[vlst, vnumb];
      AppendTo[VPOS, pos];
      AppendTo[edglst, ind <-> vnumb];
      ind = vnumb;
      refreshed = False
      ]
     ),
   "MouseDragged" :> (
     VPOS[[ind]] = MousePosition["Graphics"];
     refreshed = True
     )
   }, PassEventsDown -> True]
 ]

btw I would recommend localizing variables. You're already using DynamicModule so why not.
