10 Best Songs October 27, 2022
9:35 AM By Brad Sanders
Last month, the Swedish pop-metal outfit Ghost had their first-ever Billboard Hot 100 hit with "Mary On A Cross," a previously obscure B-side from a 2019 7-inch. As you might have guessed, both TikTok and Stranger Things were involved. Unlike Kate Bush and Metallica, whose respective chart ascents this year were powered by needle drops, Ghost rose on the back of a fan-made clip featuring scenes from the Netflix series. Virality did its thing, and soon "Mary On A Cross" was all over TikTok, soundtracking videos that had nothing to do with either Stranger Things or Ghost. ("Mary On A Cross" isn't on the list below; it isn't very good.)
A few days after Ghost landed on the Hot 100, their corpse-painted frontman Papa Emeritus IV (born Tobias Forge) threw out the opening pitch at a White Sox game for some reason. This level of ubiquity wasn't totally sudden – "Call Me Little Sunshine" had also just become their fifth US Mainstream Rock chart-topper – but for fans of the band's earliest work, their rise has felt profoundly strange.
Ghost's emergence at the beginning of the 2010s was fun and mysterious in a way it probably couldn't have been had the social media landscape been what it is today. Most early fans found their music through the Band Of The Week blog (R.I.P.) run by Fenriz from Darkthrone, an unlikely but revered tastemaker on the Blogspot-era metal internet. Nobody knew who Papa Emeritus was, nor any of the Nameless Ghouls who would eventually join him on guitar, bass, drums, and keys — and, at least at first, nobody seemed to be trying all that hard to figure it out. That sense of mystery carried into the music, which was stridently Satanic in content but infectiously earwormy in sound. We'd all heard paeans to the devil sung in a shrieking howl by his blood-soaked emissaries, but what was the deal with these guys who sounded like they were raised on ABBA? Ghost's stellar debut album, the cleverly titled Opus Eponymous, was widely likened to Mercyful Fate and Blue Öyster Cult, but it was even more generous with its saccharine hooks than those bands were.
After Opus Eponymous, Ghost quickly went from underground oddity to rising mainstream force. They signed to a major label subsidiary for their sophomore album, Infestissumam, and the once-laconic Forge started doing interviews and stage banter that leaned into his vaudevillian shtick. (There's now a rich Ghost lore involving the death and subsequent replacement of each of the band's frontmen, all of which are played by Forge.) Their sound changed, too, into something simultaneously poppier and more theatrical. If the first album sounded a little like Mercyful Fate, Ghost would eventually come to sound more like a Broadway musical loosely based on Mercyful Fate's career.
Some of the earliest Ghost fans – the ones who found them via Fenriz – have fallen away, only to be replaced by waves and waves of newcomers who have latched onto their bigger-than-life image and unapologetic craving for heavy metal stardom. Full disclosure: I'm one of those early fans, though I have found something to love about almost every album the band has done since Opus. (This list could easily include every song on Opus. It doesn't quite.) Their work doesn't always connect with me, but I'm deeply grateful to have them around. They're a metal band with a ruthless pop sensibility and a twisted take on the genre's iconography, and the way they force those two things to collide is almost always compelling.
(Video) 10 Greatest Ghost Songs
"Jigolo Har Megiddo" (from Infestissumam, 2013)
Satan is often depicted as a figure of seduction. Accordingly, an undercurrent of lustful prurience roils beneath almost everything Ghost does. Forge's onstage persona leans into that lasciviousness with winking delight, but the songs themselves rarely come right out and say it. That makes "Jigolo Har Megiddo," a deep cut from Infestissumam, a precious gift. It's horny as hell, and it rides the sweatiest, sexiest groove in Ghost's catalog. The lyrics drip with faux-Biblical come-ons and dick jokes, and despite the goofiness inherent in the song's premise, it manages to sell Forge's apparently overwhelming sexual prowess. ("You crave the wand" isn't a line I'll be trying anytime soon, but more power to him.) In today's parlance: "Jigolo Har Megiddo" fucks.
"He Is" (from Meliora, 2015)
Every arena metal band needs a lighters-aloft power ballad in their setlist. Ghost found theirs with "He Is," a love song whose object, of course, is Lucifer. With its sculpted classicism and symmetrical structure, "He Is" resembles a devotional hymn as much as it does a rock song. Henrik Palm and Simon Söderberg, the Nameless Ghouls responsible for the guitars on Meliora, find an epiphanic depth of feeling in their deft acoustic-electric interplay. Forge, typically the embodiment of arrogant pride, delivers the chorus with something approaching reverent awe, as though the immensity of Satan's evil has stunned him into humility. Ghost have written other ballads since, but "He Is" remains their gold standard.
"Call Me Little Sunshine" (from Impera, 2022)
2018's lethargic Prequelle was a disastrous misstep, but Ghost have begun to right the ship with the Aleister Crowley-inspired Impera. (Opeth's Fredrik Åkesson plays all the guitar parts on the record, which certainly helps.) The album's lead single, "Call Me Little Sunshine," plays like a Satanic inversion of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." Forge plays the part of Mephistopheles, offering succor through the computer screen: "You will never walk alone/ You can always reach me." "Little Sunshine" moves at an insistent midtempo stomp, its unhurried gait echoing the calm relentlessness of Forge's repeated entreaties to "call me." By song's end, you'll want to.
"Satan Prayer" (from Opus Eponymous, 2010)
A lot of the Mercyful Fate comparisons bestowed upon Ghost in the early days were thanks to "Satan Prayer." The Opus Eponymous highlight almost feels like a sequel to Fate's 1984 classic "The Oath." Both songs pervert familiar Christian rites, rendering them Satanic. While "The Oath" aped Coven's 1969 "Satanic Mass," the eerie "Satan Prayer" is very nearly a line-for-line rewrite of the Nicene Creed. Ghost's identities were still unknown when "Satan Prayer" dropped, and in that context, the song felt even more sinister — the work of some especially musically gifted Satanic cultists, rather than one of the first great tunes by a highly professional band. Even today, it's lost little of its power to unnerve.

"Cirice" (from Meliora, 2015)
One thing Ghost typically is not is "epic," that squiggly, hard-to-define quality that nevertheless comes to define a great many metal bands. "Cirice" is a towering exception. The Meliora centerpiece sees the band gliding gracefully from movement to movement, running a gripping melodic thread that connects delicate acoustic guitar, plaintive piano, thunderous drums, and haunting organ to one of the band's fattest, most memorable riffs. Forge is at his expressionist best, belting his lungs out in one moment and weaving a gossamer falsetto the next. The song feels truly enormous. It's enough to make you wish Ghost went epic more often.
"Stand By Him" (from Opus Eponymous, 2010)
The protagonist of "Stand By Him" is burned alive, executed for witchcraft after allegedly tempting a vicar into intercourse. A '70s exploitation-flick strain of feminism comes out in Ghost's decision to resurrect her through an occult ritual, unleashing her to run roughshod over her accusers. "It's the night of the witch tonight," Forge sings. "And the vengeance is hers for as long as she stands by him." The "him" in question is Satan, of course, and by the bouncing bass lines and power chord riffage of the song, it sounds like His Infernal Majesty throws a hell of a party. Our nameless heroine gets her revenge, and – to quote Mortuary Drape, another formative Ghost influence – all the witches dance.

"Ghuleh / Zombie Queen" (from Infestissumam, 2013)
"Ghuleh / Zombie Queen" is, like its title implies, really two songs. The first part of the diptych is both a smoldering ballad and an incantation, a piano-driven appeal for the undead object of Forge's affection to rise from her grave. It's perhaps the most starkly beautiful passage in the Ghost oeuvre. (Forge would deliberately undercut that beauty in live performances by playing the main melody on a kazoo.) The lightning bolt that splits the song in half is a chugging, repeated power chord. Out of that simple riff, the song transforms into a funhouse. I've seen "Zombie Queen" called surf-rock, rockabilly, psychedelia, and haunted house music, but none of those fully capture what feels more like Forge and his Ghouls doing whatever the hell they want. The song isn't merely academic in its experimentation with new sounds and textures; everything the band is doing serves its huge-as-hell chorus hook: "Black light guides you/ Ghuleh!/ Ghuleh!" It's Ghost's longest song, probably their weirdest, and easily one of their best.
"Elizabeth" (from Opus Eponymous, 2010)
Metalheads love Elizabeth Bathory. The Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, who allegedly bathed in the blood of her young victims, has been the subject of countless musical tributes, none better than Ghost's "Elizabeth." Powered by some of the band's heaviest riffing and dense clouds of pipe organ, the song takes the expected metal-band route of siding with one of history's greatest monsters. Yet Forge's pleading, ever-ascending vocal somehow sells its sentiment as sensible — even sweet. Like so many gruesome Ghost tunes, "Elizabeth" is a stealth love song. "You're still alive, Elizabeth," Forge sings, calling out to her in the night, reassuring himself that his long-lost flame hasn't burned out.
"Square Hammer" (from Popestar, 2016)
Generally, I find Ghost more effective when they have one foot planted firmly in metal. That's not a hard and fast rule, though, because it doesn't account for "Square Hammer." The presence of distorted guitars is the only thing that anchors "Square Hammer" to metal. The song is a Swiss watch of a pop tune, an expertly devised hook delivery mechanism that doles out its dopamine hits on a satellite-synchronized timer. Forge sings the chorus (which itself is built out of a twice-repeated refrain) three times during the four minutes of "Square Hammer," and each time it feels like he's scratching an unreachable itch. Like most of the best pop songs, its apparent simplicity belies the dozens of tiny details that make it work — the tinkling glockenspiel melody that follows the "as bells begin to chime" lyric; the snare hits that shadow the same two syllables in each verse; the churning guitar line that underpins and counterbalances Forge's chorus vocal. These and countless other decisions make "Square Hammer" what it is. It's not a metal song. It doesn't matter.
"Ritual" (from Opus Eponymous, 2010)
Everything you could ever want from a Ghost song lurks somewhere in the stinking chapel that is "Ritual." It's the ur-text for the band's entire existence. Listening to it now, 12 years after it first trickled its way onto Fenriz's blog, it's still easy still hear the world-conquering potential that so many heard back then. The main riff is heavy but not too heavy, leaving plenty of space for the swirling guitar and organ melodies that Forge layers atop it. He tackles the grim lyrics about human sacrifice with a sweetly naïve lilt to his voice, only dropping into a more traditionally metal register for a recitation of the Lord's Prayer, rewritten to praise Satan. More important than any of its individual elements, though, is the way that "Ritual" moves. It feels like driving around on a cool summer night with the windows rolled down, something threatening lurking just beyond your field of vision. Just as "Satan Prayer" invited those Mercyful Fate comparisons, it's "Ritual" that made people think of Blue Öyster Cult. There's more than a little of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" in the song, in the way it hides a razorblade of mortality in a candy apple of carefree youth. Ghost would build a career on making evil feel breezy. They never did that better than they did on "Ritual."

Senior officers complete public policy, management programme
Adib Noor
The closing ceremony for the 17th Executive Development Programme (EDP) on Public Policy and Management for Senior Government Officers hosted by the Ministry of Defence (MinDef) took place at the Officers' Mess in Bolkiah Garrison yesterday.
Deputy Minister of Defence Brigadier General (Rtd) Dato Seri Pahlawan Haji Abdul Razak bin Haji Abd Kadir was the guest of honour.
Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF), High Commissioner of Singapore to Brunei Darussalam, Ambassador of Indonesia to Brunei Darussalam, representative from the Embassy of Oman in Brunei Darussalam, Permanent Secretaries at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and MinDef, and other representatives from stakeholders were also in attendance.
The event saw 30 participants comprising senior officers from the MinDef and RBAF, Royal Brunei Police Force, the PMO and the Ministry of Education (MoE). The MinDef has also invited and sponsored three foreign participants from Indonesia, Oman, and Singapore.
This year's EDP saw the reversion of the programme to physical classes, taking note of last year's virtual arrangements.

Acting Director of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (SHHBIDSS) Haji Abdul Malik bin Haji Kamis speaking at the event
The three-month programme, delivered by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) National University of Singapore, aimed to provide knowledge and training for senior executives on perspectives and conceptual frameworks within the field of public policy and management. Participants also visited selected local government ministries and attend special talks from local speakers to strengthen a deeper understanding of Brunei's strategic environment through policy-making processes in line with Brunei Vision 2035.
Acting Director of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (SHHBIDSS) Haji Abdul Malik bin Haji Kamis highlighted the Institute's continuous ongoing efforts to improve the programme in the long run.
The event proceeded with remarks from Professor Eduardo Araral of the LKYSPP, and the 17th EDP participants representative Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Shalleh bin Haji Ismail. In his closing speech, the Deputy Minister of Defence emphasised the significance of the programme in its role to be an essential platform for developing senior officers as a conscious effort to ensure excellence in leadership and professional development.
Since its inauguration in 2004, 417 senior officers have completed the EDP programme to date.

At an event like this it does not really matter what you wear, as long as you are comfortable. It is important that you do not wear clothes that you will sweat in a lot, as with most festivals it does tend to get really hot. You want to wear clothes that allow air to flow through the material, so you can dance and sing along to the performers. You can wear a t-shirt supporting your favourite artist at the venue, or you can wear any t-shirt or shirt that you feel comfortable in. If it is an outdoor music festival, make sure you check the weather forecast before heading out, so that you can prepare for the weather ahead. If it is expected to rain while you are there, instead of bringing an umbrella and blocking everyone's view, you can wear a plastic poncho. A plastic, water-proof poncho will not only keep you dry from the rain, but it will also not block anybody's view of the stage.
Regardless of whether or not you are spending the night at the music festival, you should always pack light. If you are going to be spending a night or two, bring only two sets of clothing besides the set you are wearing. You will also need to bring cash, as typically food and clothing stands at music festivals do not accept credit or debit cards. If you are going to be bringing a camera, make sure you do not bring an expensive one, as there is a high chance it will get stolen or smashed. Other than that, you should bring a few pairs of underwear, socks and some snacks. If you take any medication or if you have an inhaler, make sure you bring that too, as you might need it.

Donald Trump's penchant for wildly caloric fast food meals and bizarre condiment practices are practically common knowledge at this point, but that doesn't mean new details of his day to day eating and drinking habits have grown any less surprising. In fact, one recently unearthed tidbit about his apparent diet soda consumption is downright alarming. That's because according to a new profile in The New York Times, he drinks 12 Diet Cokes per day.
Love it or hate it, there's no arguing that Diet Coke is wildly popular -- depending on the data you consult, it's the second or third most popular soda in America. However, whipping through a 12-pack of DC during one's waking hours is a bit excessive. To put 45's consumption in perspective, a 12-can-a-day habit would put his annual Diet Coke intake at 4,380 cans per year, which altogether amounts to roughly 411 gallons of the caramel-colored fizzy stuff. For comparison, the average American drinks just 58 gallons of water per year.
As the profile describes, Trump frequently "summons" Diet Cokes using a special button throughout the day in the White House, but to plow through so many in a day, he's got to keep up quite a pace. When you consider he's likely awake for 16 or so hours per day (slightly more than the average American), he's finishing about three quarters of a can every 60 minutes.
Trump has yet to confirm or deny the NYT's reporting on his daily Diet Coke intake, but he did take to Twitter on Monday morning to slam the paper for reporting that he watches four to eight hours of TV every day in the same story.


"It was like a revival meeting!" declared several members of the BGCO Board of Directors as the February meeting concluded. Indeed, it was. Incredible reports were heard from Oklahoma Baptist University, The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children and Baptist Village Communities. God is doing great things among us!
Without question, the most exciting moment was the opportunity to reveal the grace of God at work through His people in making provision for Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center. As our Lord has done again and again, He raised up godly people whom He has blessed to become blessings to His Falls Creek.
While I would like to take time to tell the back story to each of the gifts announced, I will let the other articles in this edition of the Baptist Messenger do so. I want to focus on the $2.3 million matching gift given by Gene and Jo Downing in order that we all understand how it will work.
The Downings have promised to match every dollar given to Phase I of the Falls Creek Centennial Campaign up to $2.3 million. The goal of Phase I is to complete the new projects (Mathena Event Center, Thompson Family Lodge, and the Jordan Welcome Center) and to fully retire the debt on the R. A. Young Tabernacle. The remaining funding for Phase I is $2.24 million for new projects and $2.52 million for tabernacle debt retirement for a total of $4.76 million.
How does a matching gift work? It is simple. If you give one dollar, it becomes two! For example, if you sponsor a seat in the tabernacle for $500, your gift becomes $1,000 because the Downings' gift matches your gift dollar for dollar. Or, if you desire to furnish a room in the Thompson Lodge for $10,000, your gift becomes $20,000!
This remarkable matching gift means our gifts can make a big difference quickly. What we may see as a small gift instantly becomes a larger gift.
It is important to remember that our gifts are not primarily about buildings, but about people. We have all seen the incredible difference the tabernacle has made in the ability to communicate the Gospel. Since the tabernacle has been built, the number of attendees at Falls Creek has reached the 52,000-55,000 range each summer. The number of professions of faith has increased to historic levels. In addition, attendance at the men's and women's retreats has increased.
Was it worth the sacrifice by more than 8,000 donors to see this magnificent tabernacle in place? I think we would all shout a resounding "Yes!" This facility has provided undistracted worship, allowing students to give their full attention without the misery of the heat and other distractions many of us experienced from the old days. The Gospel can do its work, and it does!
The new buildings will enhance the summer season by providing better dining facilities for staff, meeting space for discipleship, and significantly improved housing for guests who come to Falls Creek. But the real impact will be seen the rest of the year. While Falls Creek is a year-round conference center already, the doors of the new facilities will be open to many more events, and will house and feed greater numbers of adults. Large retreats, marriage seminars, senior adult events, and many other events can be accommodated.
The centerpiece of Falls Creek will always be the youth weeks. However, it is exciting to dream of the day when more and more people can come to these sacred grounds to have an encounter with our Savior or have their spiritual lives refreshed. With these new facilities, the Falls Creek experience will be extended throughout the entire year—that is worth our investment.
Together, because of the generosity of this sweet couple, you and I have the opportunity to double our gifts to the future of Falls Creek and to the elimination of the debt on the tabernacle, which has become so important to our ministry at Falls Creek. What will your family do?

Una Rara Victoria en el Conflicto Judicial Peruano Islamic terrorism in Latin America
A rare victory in the judicial war in Peru
By Americas Report On March 5, 2009
By Jon Perdue Imagine if, rather than tossing the coin at the Super Bowl, General David Petraeus was currently spending his life savings to defend himself from spurious charges that he committed human rights violations during the troop surge in Iraq. While this scenario seems preposterous to most Americans, it is a reality in many countries in Latin America, where military officers and soldiers are being persecuted under the guise of "human rights."
Since the end of the Vietnam War, the concept of human rights has been systematically co-opted by groups less interested in actual human rights than in the promotion of leftist politics in the U.S. and abroad. It was in the nascent stages of the Carter Administration, when Brady Tyson, deputy to then UN Ambassador Andrew Young, predicted openly that human rights would be used to help leftist revolutionaries in the western hemisphere.
At around the same time, Democrat Party scion Daniel Patrick Moynihan was criticizing the UN's similar adulteration of human rights, stating that, "Unless standards of human rights are seen to be applied uniformly and neutrally to all nations…it will quickly be seen that it is not human rights at all which are invoked when selective applications are called for, but simply arbitrary political standards dressed up in the guise of human rights." Moynihan continued, "More and more the United Nations seems only to know of violations of human rights in countries where it is still possible to protest such violations."
Richard Holbrooke, recently named the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan in the Obama administration, once testified before congress during the height of the Cold War that, "in the name of human rights, a small but vocal group of people…sought to carry out far-reaching change in the world structure…their targets were almost without exception regimes of the right which happened to be anti-Soviet."
Moynihan's and Holbrooke's warnings are now manifest in many Latin American countries, where politicized judiciaries settle political scores and "truth and reconciliation commissions," such as that proposed last week by Senator Patrick Leahy to go after the Bush Administration, are stacked to achieve a politically desired outcome.
Today, these quasi-judiciaries incentivize false accusations by offering reparations by the state to any civilian that files a claim against military personnel or state police. Yet neither civilian nor military courts offer legal recourse for those who are killed, maimed or displaced by terrorist groups – the very groups that provoked the military response to begin with.
This "judicial warfare," as it has come to be known, was made possible by the same Senator Leahy, who originated the legislation as a rider to a larger bill in 1997. The "Leahy Law," as it is now called, has provided the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist terrorist groups throughout Latin America with the ability to remove their betters from the battlefield without firing a shot. Many of the most well-trained officers – including those with the most training in avoiding civilian casualties during counter-terrorism operations – are frequently removed from duty at half pay because of flimsy allegations of human rights violations.
Though most are eventually exonerated, the careers and finances of these men are destroyed in the decades-long legal labyrinth that ensues. And worse, the false witnesses that make the accusations are rarely, if ever, prosecuted – though in a multitude of cases they have recanted and have stated under oath that they were induced to testify falsely.
One of the better-known cases of judicial warfare was recently concluded in Peru, with the exoneration by that country's highest court of General Eduardo Bellido. General Bellido's case had become a case study for journalists, publicized in a book published by the Institute for the Press and Society.
The book, The Press and the Military, was a mea culpa for the flagrant nature with which the press had accepted all of the arguments of Narco-terrorists and their apologist NGOs against a decorated General that had pacified that country's largest terrorist redoubt.
On January 29th, the Peruvian armed forces held a ceremony to publicly honor General Bellido for his service to the country as well as to acknowledge the travesty of justice that he had endured. Lurking behind these false allegations, once again, was a panoply of left-wing NGOs including APRODEH, the very group that successfully petitioned the European Parliament not to include the Tupac Amaru (MRTA) terrorists on its official list of terrorist groups.
These same players have been behind nearly every congressional appeal to halt military aid from the U.S. to Latin America for the past two decades, while falling silent during administrations that they consider friendly to their interests. Francisco Soberon, a director of APRODEH, has made a good living as a "human rights advocate" in those two decades. President Alan Garcia called him a "traitor to the country" and demanded an investigation into APRODEH's funding after it was revealed that it was Soberon that had petitioned the European Parliament in support of MRTA terrorists.
Former Vice President Luis Giampietri, one of the hostages of the Tupac Amaru siege of the Japanese Ambassador's residence in 1997, accused Soberon of being an advocate for the terrorists. "Whose human rights do these organizations defend? They defend the terrorists," Giampietri said of APRODEH.
A former navy officer, Giampietri helped the Peruvian commandos rescue the hostages by providing intelligence via a miniature two-way radio from inside the ambassador's residence. This also allowed Giampietri the ability to inform the hostages to stay separated from the terrorists just minutes before the rescue operation began, possibly saving their lives.
Once the smoke cleared, there were no terrorists left alive and one hostage was lost due to heart failure. The operation was hailed worldwide as a textbook success. Yet the first to denounce the "brutality" of the rescue was Eligia Rodriguez Bustamante, a deputy director of APRODEH. More telling was the fact that Ms. Rodriguez Bustamante was also the mother of one of the Tupac Amaru terrorists killed during the rescue mission. Unsurprisingly, APRODEH later filed suit on behalf of the terrorists' family members, saying that the rescuers violated the terrorists' human rights.
It should be stipulated that if there is a true case of an actual human rights violation by a soldier, police officer, or civilian, the violator should receive the harshest penalty available under law. The death of innocents is, and will always be, a lamentable but ineluctable byproduct of defending millions more innocents from the murderous adventurism of schoolyard ideologies. But it is long past time to acknowledge that there is no moral equivalency between those that work to defend the innocent, though imperfectly, and those that defend the slaughter of innocents to justify political ends.
This is the second of two articles written by Jon Perdue about how some Latin American human rights organizations falsely accuse various military and political leaders in order to remove them from power. Mr. Perdue's first article "The New Battlefield in Latin America" published on 7/17/08 may be found in the Americas Report Archives.


WHO ARE YOUR 10 PEOPLE?
I often think about the people who have positively impacted me, so recently, I made a list of my top 10 people. These are people who, when I look back, I wonder where, or how, my life would have ended up if our paths had not crossed… how different, and less rich, my life would be.
Actually, my list ended up with 11 such people. I couldn't keep it at 10 just for round numbers. And really, it's a list that could grow to 20, 30 and more, but for starters, I have 10 (11).
I want to suggest to you that in the next week, you take a few minutes to make such a list. It could be anyone. It could be people you've known for years. Or it could be someone you sat next to on a bus or train who said or did something you've never forgotten.
I find my 10 people are my most perfect gratitude list. Whenever I'm feeling low, if I think of even one of these people, it puts everything into perspective. It also reminds me that, at any moment, someone like that can show up again in my life.
The most incredible thing about each of these people is how divinely orchestrated each connection with them actually was. We only fully realize this when looking back.
Today is the birthday of one of "my people" and appropriately the sun is shining as I just finished journaling about all the things about this person that I'm grateful for.
Try it. Take the time. Maybe one day, one or more of those people will be delighted to find that they are on your list.
In light of Thanksgiving being this week in the U.S., I'd like to share with you a little message I gave at church here in Berlin while our pastor was away recently. Gratitude isn't a holiday; it's a way of life.


Cyclo was engaged for the design and construction of a new fitout for MMJ's head office in Regent St, Wollongong. MMJ strive to offer the highest levels of service in the areas they operate in which include Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. The project included a reception area with high impact design and finishes to reinforce that MMJ are the best in the area. Stylized and flexible meeting rooms, extensive work stations, private offices and a kitchen / relaxation area were also part of the package.
The office was occupied during the construction which required careful staging and relocation of employees to minimize disruption. This was successfully arranged by Cyclo's site team.
A comprehensive project like this involves the coordination of a large number of trades and design elements. The fact that core design and construction is handled by an established team of employees allows Cyclo to provide our clients with exceptional service. Nearly all of our business comes from existing clients and word of mouth referrals – and this remains a fundamental reason why.

The courts annul the boycott against Israel in the city of Cocentaina in Valencia, Spain
Publicado el 27 febrero, 2018 acom
Court number 1 of Alicante has annulled the decision taken in a plenary session of the Cocentaina Council (11,432 inhabitants) on 18th February,2016, to endorse the campaign of Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.
The sentence declares null and void the agreement to support the BDS campaign, the boycott of Israeli and pro Israel institutions, companies and organizations, the declaration of Cocentaina as a «Space Free of Israeli Apartheid» and all points in the agreement adopted by the Council.
The boycott proposal was presented in a plenary session by PSOE (Socialist Party) and approved by all the parties: far left municipal group of Podemos, Compromis, Ciudadanos and PP.
The implementation of ACOM's legal strategy makes the true extent and the effects of the boycott campaign against Israel clear and exposes the antisemitic and discriminatory nature of the boycott campaign against Israel, that violates both Human Rights and International Law.
Thanks to the legal initiative of ACOM, which exposed the illegality of BDS resolutions, that discriminate against anyone based on national, ethnic or religious origin, including the Jews, 15 boycott agreements have been annulled by the courts (including 2 rulings of High Courts of Justice), 7 City Councils have voluntarily revoked said agreements after our legal action, and 2 municipalities has its agreements legally suspended until a final decision is made.

With the new year, we have an opportunity for a fresh start on any number of things – improving things within our organization, starting a new fitness plan, taking up a new hobby or refining one (shooting my age in golf is a dream), learning a new skill, etc.
As leaders within our organizations, we have an opportunity to ensure that all of the tools needed by our staff are now available. We can also, as an organization, provide help and support to any number of worthwhile victim advocacy agencies within our communities.
As members of our community, we can renew our efforts to make a positive change in the lives of children who are or have been in abusive or difficult situations. One thing that we can focus on is learning about the needs of organizations which help families which provide foster care or adopt these children.
Many of these organizations are nonprofit groups which provide a number of services such as counseling to all victims as well families, and providing information about available resources. Some of these organizations exist to increase public awareness and to provide education and training for other support groups, as well as members of the community. Victim advocates provide an important service of insuring that the needs of any victim are appropriately addressed in a timely manner. Advocates provide vital support to victims if a criminal prosecution occurs. These advocates stand by the victims throughout the entire process.
It is important for these agencies to know that they have the support of the surrounding community as they provide these vital services. So what can we do?
We can learn about what agencies and groups are available within our own communities. We can volunteer services or talents that we may have to help these agencies achieve their mission. We can help broadcast their important information to other members within our community. If we can seize this opportunity in this new year, we can make a positive difference in the lives of victims, especially the children.

More than 250 people headed to Yeonpyeong Island on Saturday, including 109 local residents who fled nearly two weeks ago in the wake of North Korea's lethal artillery attack on the island, according to Incheon Port authorities.
It is the largest group to return to the island since the Nov. 23 attack.
With the ban on fishing off Yeonpyeong lifted as of Friday and utilities up and running again, more residents are expected to make their way back. But with the November crab-catching season now over and buildings and homes badly damaged, it will take time for life to return to normal.

Juliet Simms: Interview & Gallery
Featured 07/31/2015 by Chris Duke
I can't tell you how stoked I was when we got the opportunity to interview Juliet Simms. She has been in the industry a long time now and is so under rated. I sat down with her after her set on Vans Warped Tour and talked Automatic Loveletter, haters, and Juliet's incredible drive to keep her music going.
Tell me how the APMA's went this year!
Juliet: It was awesome! I hosted last year for the first ever APMA, but this year I got to just go as an artist, which is way more comfortable for me. I'm not always politically correct and I'm not 'Mrs. Hostess' with all of the questions either. I'm much better at answering questions than asking them. Getting to rock the red carpet with my boyfriend Andy was amazing, presenting the award for best vocalist to Hayley Williams was such an honor, too.
She's an amazing singer, I look up to her and have so much respect for her. I also got to hang out with her and Cody of Set It Off and talk about our old vocal coach, Ron Anderson. We talked about his technique and how he helped us progress and grow, and we also talked about how eccentric he is haha. If you know him, you understand.
Photo: Chris Duke
That's great! Now on this tour have you had any fans ask to hear old Automatic Loveletter songs?
Juliet: Oh absolutely. A lot of my fans have been there since Automatic Loveletter, so of course they are going to ask to hear some of those songs and actually, that is totally OK with me! What a lot of people don't realize is that Automatic Loveletter, was my band. I was the one that got signed, I wrote all of the songs, I recorded all of those songs, the band came after the fact.
It was a major label deal and guess who was big at the time? Paramore. So what do major labels do? "Well now we need OUR Paramore!" So in that context, I was their Paramore. All of the band members were 'hired guns,' which is why there were so many different musicians all of the time! I'm glad we're talking about this because I can finally start telling people how it really was!
Long story short though, yes haha. I love playing old songs because I'm still the same person I was when I wrote them.
Wild! Let's talk about the 'End Of The World' music video. What was it like seeing the final product? Did it get you choked up at all?
Juliet: Absolutely. I wrote the treatment for that video at like 3:00 in the morning, came up with the whole concept and idea, but had to figure out how to make it for almost no money. The whole EP was done off of Pledge Music, I'm independent. So I don't have a budget from a record label or anything to make music videos.
Luckily being in the music industry for so long, I've been able to make some friends. One of those friends is actually my good friend Joshua Shultz. He's a music video producer and also an incredible photographer so I asked him if he would be willing to do this for little to no money, and we in return would plug him like crazy on our social media pages. He said "Fuck yeah I'm totally down with what you are doing and I want to help!" So amazing!
I was able to co-direct and art direct too! It may not be the most believable video production wise, because it was made for less than $500.
I'm actually more impressed now knowing that! Especially the scene with all of the roots hanging? Super sharp and clean.
Juliet: Well Josh had a fucking KILLER idea and we were able to put that whole thing together for like $40? Real cheap haha. You'd be surprised how crafty you can get when you don't have a lot of money! Back to your question though, I sat there with Josh and edited the whole thing alongside him and when it all come together, it was such a magical moment.
Andy (Biersack) was on the other side of the planet at the time on tour, but he called me after I had sent it to him and he was almost sobbing! It was so sweet! We sent it to his parents, they cried. We sent it to my parents, they cried. I never thought I would be so happy making my family cry haha.
Beautiful. Now every artist has to deal with 'haters,' but you deal with a very different breed of hater. Did you ever think that criticism and all of that bullshit would come from the fact that people are jealous of who you are dating?!
Juliet: No. Never. Before I was with Andy and I was doing my thing with Automatic Loveletter, I don't think I ever got one hate comment. I never had one threat, never dissed or hated on, or torn apart for my looks. When we got together though I was like "Wait, what is this feeling?" I'm not sure I was even sad, I was just alarmed. I put up with it though because I love him so much. We're each other's best friends, literally nothing can tear us apart.
So whenever I see those things I say "Man, do I love you. Because I put up with a looooot of shit!" There has been a turn though. There has been so much more positivity and people willing to come to my defense, the hate has started to fizzle away.
Now Andy is no stranger to hate either. Has he taught you anything about dealing with criticism and shitty people?
Juliet: Yeah, for sure. Like I said before I wasn't having to deal with any of that before him, and he on the other hand was having to rise above all of that to make his band successful and as popular as they are now, I certainly learned a lot from him. He's almost the king of it right?
Andy helped me learn how to turn the negativity into fuel for the fire, in a positive way.
I've heard you say in the passed that if you want something bad enough it will happen. Do you still believe that?
Juliet: Absolutely. Take Pledge Music for instance. When I first looked at the idea of crowd funding and handling everything that that entailed by myself? I thought it was fucking impossible. It's not as easy as just 'asking people for money,' and then you get to make a record. There are things you have to do for the fans once they give you that money. Like hand written lyrics, shout outs, disposable cameras. Imagine buying 150 disposable cameras, using them up, and then one fan gets them all!
Signing all of the CD's, Skype lessons, Skype concerts, even private house concerts. There was so much to do and at times it was so overwhelming getting every single fans address, answering every single question, paste, post, sign, SEND! It was so much work for one person to do, but I wanted it that bad. I am of the belief that if you want something bad enough and are willing to do all of the work that is required to achieve it, it will be yours.
Amazing. Juliet thank you so much for your time!

Attack U.S. and Win Aid
by Daniel Pipes and Jonathan Schanzer
https://www.meforum.org/4063/attack-us-and-win-aid
A donor conference for Afghanistan convened in Tokyo last week had every appearance of being humane, moral, and sensible. Representatives from sixty governments pledged to help rebuild Afghanistan by committing at least $1.7 billion in 2002 and $10.2 billion over the next decade. On behalf of the United States, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell pledged $297 million, approximately one-fifth of the first year's monies.
This, the largest amount from any single country, is meant to help put what Powell dubbed a "startup country" back on its feet. He explained the basis of the largess: "The United States will not abandon the people of Afghanistan."
The lofty sum of $297 million catapults Afghanistan into the big leagues of American generosity, making it the fourth-largest recipient of America's foreign aid for 2002 (behind Israel, Egypt, and Colombia). This is remarkable for four reasons:
Afghanistan will get more U.S. aid than many poor states that are truly vital to U.S. security, such as Russia ($177 million), Indonesia ($120 million), the Philippines ($75 million), India ($67 million), Mexico ($35 million), and Turkey ($3 million).
Afghanistan will receive more aid than many countries more destitute than it. Afghans are not a wealthy people, but their per-capita income of $280 (according to the World Bank) places them well above some other countries. Per-capita income of Tajikistan is estimated at just $170 but it gets $11 million from Washington this year. The same goes for other basket cases. Ethiopia's per capita is $100 and it receives $42 million. Democratic Republic of Congo has $100 per capita and it gets $18 million.
Unlike all these other countries, Afghanistan is costing the United States a fortune. Operation Enduring Freedom costs about $1 billion per month, or about $5 billion so far. And that pales compared to the estimated $105 billion lost directly and indirectly from the Afghanistan-based assault on Sept. 11.
The 2002 allocation for Afghanistan planned a full year ago was for less than $3 million. In other words, the Afghanistan-based attack on the United States on Sept. 11 had the ironic effect of increasing U.S. aid to that country a hundred-fold.
Why then is Afghanistan rewarded with an outpouring of aid? The reason is simple: U.S. forces defeated Afghanistan's regime and Americans now feel responsible for fixing the country.
Sound strange? It shouldn't. It fits an established pattern. A few years ago, American forces were engaged in the former Yugoslavia; today that cluster of countries receives a whopping $358 million in U.S. aid. Similarly, Germany, Italy, and Japan benefited from massive U.S. aid after losing to America in World War II.
More broadly and humorously, this reflects the "mouse that roared" syndrome, named after the 1959 movie starring Peter Sellers in no less than three roles. It told the story of a tiny Europe duchy, Grand Fenwick, which finds itself on the verge of bankruptcy and decides to declare war on America in order to lose, then profit from the resulting aid.
"There isn't a more profitable undertaking for any country than to declare war on the U.S. and to be defeated," intones the duchy's prime minister. "No sooner is the aggressor defeated than the Americans bring in food, machinery, clothing, technical aid and lots and lots of money for the relief of its former enemies."
So the world's smallest country attacks America and when, at the film's end, the State Department comes to settle up, Grand Fenwick demands $1 million in aid. It is rebuffed: "You can't expect us to give you a measly million," the U.S. diplomat scowls, knowing his superiors won't permit his spending such a trivial amount.
The Mouse that Roared may be entertainment but it has a sobering message. As Grand Fenwick's prime minister sagely put it: "The Americans are strange people. Whereas other countries rarely forgive anything, the Americans forgive everything."
His point is particularly salient today: Washington should allot its foreign aid on the basis of strategic, humanitarian, or other considered reasons. Americans should feel less guilty, forgive less quickly, and be less swayed by headlines of the moment. They should pay more attention to self-interest. And they should not blindly pay out to mice that roar.

Just six points separate leaders Cork City and fifth placed St.Patrick's Athletic as we head into yet another action packed week of League of Ireland action. With a full card of top-flight fixtures being quickly followed by EA Sports Cup matches on Easter Monday, this is a crucial period in the early domestic calendar.
Limerick FC V Waterford FC.
Despite a poor showing in defeat away to St.Patrick's Athletic last time out, Tommy Barrett will be pleased overall with his start in management as Limerick FC find themselves seven points clear of the automatic relegation position at present. Having taken an 8-0 battering away to Dundalk a couple of weeks ago, the Market Field outfit have recovered well and should be in a defiant mode for the visit of Munster rivals, Waterford FC.
Alan Reynold's "Blues" come into this encounter off the back of a historic 2-1 home win against the mighty Shamrock Rovers in front of the RTE cameras last Friday night and will be looking to claim a three points that could leave Waterford top of the table come close of business this weekend.
Given the form of Waterford's recent acquisitions such as Bastian Hery, Courtney Duffus and Gavan Holohan, you would have to expect the visitors to have too much fire power for a Limerick side struggling defensively more than most this season.
Shamrock Rovers V Sligo Rovers.
Having suffered defeat away to newly promoted Waterford last time out, Shamrock Rovers will step out in front of an expectant home crowd at the Tallaght Stadium on Good Friday, where low on confidence Sligo are the visitors.
Defensive calamities have cost the "Bit O'Red" dear so far this season and more slack rearguard action handed three points to Stephen Kenny's Dundalk in a 2-0 defeat last Saturday. However, former Tallaght man Kenny did admit post-match that Sligo Rovers were the best team his "Lilywhites" had come up against so far this season and if Ger Lyttle's charges can sharpen up in front of goal, they should cause issues for a home side who have real concerns between the posts at present.
Both Kevin Horgan and the recently reinstated Tomer Chencinski have been at fault on a number of occasions for goals conceded by the "Hoops" in 2018 and manager, Stephen Bradley is beginning to take flak from supporters who feel the goalkeeping position should have been addressed in the off-season.
Despite that situation plus suspensions and injuries at the back, Rovers attacking options such as Graham Burke, Brandon Miele, Ronan Finn, Dan Carr and Gary Shaw should contain more than enough quality to see off a struggling Sligo side.
Seven games into their 2018 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division campaign and Stephen Kenny's Dundalk are yet to concede a single goal this season! Despite a sloppy start to proceedings at the Showgrounds on Saturday, the County Louth side eventually showed their quality at the other end of the pitch as goals from in form duo Patrick Hoban and Michael Duffy sealed a fourth win of the campaign.
As for Keith Long's "Bohs", many pundits pinpointed the "Gypsies" last game as a must win affair as a hapless Bray Wanderers visited Dalymount Park. Despite being recognised as the spiritual home of Irish football, the Dublin club have struggled on their own patch in recent seasons and it appeared as more points were about to be dropped on Friday night until Dinny Corcoran popped up with a last-gasp winner to send the Bohemians faithful into raptures at the famous old ground.
While the Capital club will obviously be looking to use that recent win over the "Seagulls" as a momentum builder for the coming weeks, given Dundalk's invincible form at the back this season it's almost impossible to see anything other than a home win here.
Derry City V St.Patrick's Athletic.
Aiming for a third win on the bounce at the new Brandywell Stadium, Derry City welcome St.Pat's on Friday night in what is a huge game for both sides. Just one point separates the "Candystripes" and the "Saints" with inconsistency holding both teams back in their respective quests for European qualification.
Kenny Shiels City side faced disruption last week when their game against Dundalk was postponed due to international call-ups at underage level, while St.Pat's bounced back from their derby defeat versus Shamrock Rovers with a well deserved 1-0 triumph at home to Limerick.
Simon Madden impressed greatly during that game at Richmond Park and his manager, Liam Buckley will be looking for more of the same from his attack minded full-back, who of course represented Derry City with great pride for many years.
With a 50% win rate away from home this season in the league, St.Pat's will fancy their chances of ending Derry's unbeaten start at their new look home, however, a strong defensive performance will be required from the side who have the wisdom of Ger O'Brien on their coaching staff these days. A tough one to call for sure but Derry City will certainly be hopeful of adding at least a point to their tally in this latest home game.
Bray Wanderers V Cork City.
It may sound crazy to say at this early stage of the season but already discussion has begun on what looks to be Bray Wanderers certain relegation from the Premier Division. On this weeks Series 2, Episode 6 of Between the Stripes LOI podcast, co-hosts Kieran Burke & Jonathan Brier were unanimous in their belief the automatic relegation race has already reached it's conclusion and anything other than an upset of the season result, as Cork City come to town, would only cement that opinion further among the League of Ireland community.
Champions Cork collected more silverware last weekend as they hammered St.Mary's 5-0 in the Munster Senior Cup final while remaining on top of the Premier table without playing. With so many attacking players on form for John Caulfield it's impossible to see anything other than a cricket score at the Carlise Grounds on what could turn out to be a very bad Friday for the Wicklow club.
For in depth previews and discussion on all of the above matches, check out Series 2, Episode 6 of Between the Stripes LOI podcast, featuring guests Declan "Fabio" O'Brien, Stephen Rice and Julian Canny. Also available on Itunes.


ROCK HILL, S.C. - Neil Chambers, a green design advocate and author of the upcoming book "Urban Green: Architecture for the Future,"will lecture at Winthrop University on Sept. 13 as part of a nationwide tour to encourage students to re-think what it means to be green.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will take place in Owens G01 at 7 p.m. and will kick off the first leg of Chambers' tour.
With smart USA as his tour sponsor, Chambers will visit 24 college campuses to debunk popular sustainability myths while driving a smart vehicle from campus to campus.
"Urban Green: Architecture for the Future," published by Palgrave/MacMillan, is Chambers' vision for bringing the power of the conservation and design movements together. He advocates looking to nature for the missing components of the green revolution: oysters that can clean water at up to 5 liters an hour; beavers that reshape their environments while simultaneously enriching ecosystems; and mountains that offer a new way of imagining how a city could be built. By designing homes and cities in harmony with the natural world, Chambers said American society can take the next step in the sustainable revolution.
Chambers is the CEO and founder of Chambers Design, Inc., a design and consulting studio that focuses on green buildings, infrastructure, master planning and habitat restoration. A veteran of green design with more than 15 years of experience, Chambers has a unique perspective of the many sides to design, construction and architecture.
A Clemson University graduate and Gaffney, S.C. native, Chambers has been called a "green design guru at the forefront of a new movement to make urban centers environmentally sustainable." Chambers' passion lays in directing teams toward the most cost-effective and creative green solutions for all building types. He advocates that new areas within green building are emerging and that design is no longer about form or function, but rather sustainability, ecology and energy.
Chambers has also taught at New York University and the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Premier League giants Chelsea are reported to be preparing to bid for Portuguese outfit Porto central defender Eder Militao ahead of the winter transfer window which reopens in coming weeks.
The West London side are desperate to add more additions in a bid to strengthen their squad so as to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Manager Maurizio Sarri has therefore identified Eder Militao as a top target that will give his side the needed quality to have a better second half of the season.
The Brazilian star who joined Porto from Brazilian star Sao Paulo in the summer window made an immediate impact in Portugal which has attracted a number of suitors within his 13 appearances.
There is no doubt that he will not have a long stay with Porto with the increasing interests from Europe.
It is also reported that Eder Militao will welcome any bid from the English League and he will force a move away when the winter transfer window reopens.
However, Chelsea are reported to be willing to pay big for Eder Militao as manager Maurizio Sarri keen to add him in coming weeks when the winter transfer window reopens.
Meanwhile, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is believed to be interested in the signature of the player.

The abilities which involve the use of hands, develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects to more precise activities that involve precise eye–hand coordination. Fine motor skills, are skills that involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, and thumb. The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, and buttoning.
When the child enters middle childhood he or she makes great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
As children refine their motor skills, they are able to help themselves by completing daily activities independently. For example children between the ages of 2 and 3 are able to put on and take off simplistic articles of clothing. They are able to manipulate clothing with zippers, use spoons, string together beads with large holes, and open doors with doorknobs. When children are between the ages of 3 and 4, they are able to manipulate clothing with larger buttons, use scissors to cut paper, and are able to copy simple lined shapes using a pencil. At 4 to 5 years of age, children are able to dress and undress themselves without assistance. They are also able to manipulate a fork, and have gained the dexterity to cut around shapes with a pair of scissors. And by age 6, a child is able to cut softer foods with a knife and is able to tie his or her own shoes. Because all children develop at their own rate, the ages given are not an exact timeline.
It is critical to understand the development of children's fine motor skills in order to understand the reasoning behind why they complete certain tasks in a certain way. For example, it is important to understand the development of fine motor skills when a paper is handed in by a child in grade one and the writing is large, malformed, with little evidence of control of the pencil. If the teacher were to know the stages that children go through to develop these skills, then he may be more considerate and provide the child with appropriate adaptations in order to help him improve his writing skills.
Also, as children refine their motor skills, they are able to communicate by written expression. Starting off with scribbling and moving on to printing and writing.
Children's drawings also develop as a child ages and refines his fine motor skills. This has been widely studied, especially by Rhonda Kellogg, following children from 2 years to 8 years of age. Her research has found that the artistic gestures of children evolve from basic scribbles to consistent symbols. The first symbols that are formed by children are the circle, the upright cross, the diagonal cross, the rectangle, and other common forms. When the child is 3 years old, he begins to form face shapes and by age 4, humans. At 4 to 5 years old, the child draws a human form with arms and legs, and eventually the child adds a trunk and clothes. Children then evolve to include other pictorials in their art, such as houses, animals and boats, by the age of 5.
Sometimes children need some assistance when developing their fine motor skills. This requires one to find strategies in order to assist children with their development. Occupational therapists are experts in the field of fine motor and handwriting development. If you suspect that there may be an issue with the fine motor development of your child you should seek an evaluation by a licensed occupational therapist.
Toys that require a child to manipulate it with his fingers and hands can be categorized as a manipulative. Manipulatives involve coordinating the eye to what the hands are needed to do. They stimulate fine motor development because they require controlled use of hand and finger muscles. Some manipulative toys, such as puzzles, are self-correcting, fitting together in only one specific way. These types of toys only fit together one way and allow children to work until they achieve success. Play dough is a manipulative that can help strengthen a child's fine motor skills. Dough can be rolled into balls, tooth picks can be used to create designs in the dough, and plastic knives can be used to cut the dough (with supervision).
Other ways to assist children with their fine motor development are to use modified tools to assist them. For young children, using crayons is often difficult at first due to their small size, so it is important to provide children with a tool that they are able to manipulate. There have been crayons created that are a 3-D tetrahedral shape, so that the children are able to grab the crayon in any position. The use of these crayons allows for a child to create a more precise picture because of the control he has and this also helps the child to pursue such personal expression, since he is not being frustrated by not being able to use the tools. Children, when they are learning to print, also experience some frustrations. A way to assist a child who is having difficulties with this is to provide him with a Primer pencil (which is thicker around) or to modify a pencil by adding to its circumference (either by a formed grip or by adding tape). For a child who is having difficulties with his fine motor skills, offering tools such as larger pencils and modified pencils will help the child develop a better grasp of this tool and eventually moving to smaller, regular size pencils. This will help with his self-esteem, providing him with a sense of accomplishment in writing tasks.
Another way to assist a child who is having difficulties developing his fine motor skills is to provide the child with proper positioning of his hands and body in order to accomplish tasks.

Our path is to empower a generation to experience and mobilize empathy to people all around them. By teaching the skill of walking in another's shoes, we can change the atmosphere of our homes, schools, and community.
In schools, most character education programs that address aggression issues teach in reaction to the problem. At P2E, we face this obstacle in a new way in order to change these trends through the positive and proactive approach of empathy.
With our greatest teacher being experiential learning, we invite students and staff to walk through another's perspective by providing real-life, 21st Century learning opportunities to practice respect, gratitude, and empathy. We exchange a self-centered focus with empowerment and a positive self-worth through critical thinking, writing, and experience.

Johan Peter Klason, född 4 april 1848 i Årstad, Hallands län, död 1 januari 1937 i S:t Matteus församling, Stockholm, var en svensk kemist.

Biografi
Johan Peter Klason var son till domänintendenten Christoffer Adam Claesson och Elna Helena Billing, och härstammade från en släkt som ursprungligen hetat Claus. Johan Peter Klason var svärson till Carl Johan Hill.

Klason blev student i Lund 1868, filosofie doktor och docent i organisk kemi 1874 samt laborator 1887, allt vid Lunds universitet. 1890 utnämndes han till professor i kemi och kemisk teknologi vid Tekniska högskolan i Stockholm.

Klason var lärjunge till Christian Wilhelm Blomstrand och författade en minnesteckning över sin lärare (i Vetenskapsakademiens Lefnadsteckningar, band 4, 1909). En serie arbeten inom den organiska kemins område särskilt över merkaptaner och andra svavelföreningar utfördes under hans Lundatid. De medförde i praktiskt hänseende en enkel bestämningsmetod för organiska sulfhydrater, som långt senare fann användning vid hans undersökning över de vid framställning av sulfatcellulosa uppkommande illaluktande ämnena, som han visade i det väsentliga utgörs av metylmerkaptan.

Efter flytt till Stockholm övergick Klason till Blomstrands specialområde, metallerna molybden och platina. Klason behandlade dels dessa ämnen i en serie framstående experimentalundersökningar, uppställde dels en teori för de ammoniakaliska platinaföreningarna, som under tidigt 1900-tal ansågs ge det bästa uttrycket för dessa ämnens isomeriförhållanden (i "Journal für praktische chemie", bd 67). Bland arbeten av rent vetenskapligt intresse finns en originell uppsats (1906) om salpetersyrans konstitution, vari experimentella stöd meddelas för Klasons uppfattning, att salpetersyra är en s. k. persyra med formeln ON OOH. Även sina tidigaste undersökningar om organiska svavelföreningar, såsom tioglykolsyra, återupptog Klason senare. Den organisk-kemiska syntesen har att tacka Klason för den viktiga metyleringsmetoden medelst metylsulfat. Bland Klasons senare arbeten kan vidare nämnas en metod att framställa kemiskt ren metanol och etanol genom hydrolys av deras eter-svavelsyror och i förening med Evert Norlin utarbetandet av noggranna tabeller för vattenmetanollösningars specifika vikter.

I början av 1900-talet utförde Klason i samarbete med yngre tekniker och kemister undersökningar inom två vid tiden för Sverige viktiga tekniker, nämligen torrdestillation av ved och dennas överförande i pappersmassa, och ledde med understöd av statsmedel en serie undersökningar över skogsprodukter, såsom kåda m. m., åsyftande ett rationellt tillgodogörande av virkestillgången i skogarna. Resultaten av dessa undersökningar är publicerade i Vetenskapsakademiens Arkiv för kemi och i Teknisk tidskrift samt i Jernkontorets annaler. 1909 utkom de 10 första avhandlingarna sammanfattade i ett band under titeln: Kemiskt-tekniska undersökningar rörande Sveriges industriellt viktigaste träslag. I dessa arbeten lades fram värdefulla rön angående förkolningen av ved, den första fullständiga beskrivningen av Svenskarnas urgamla framställning av trätjära. Klason skrev också om den svenska sockerhandelns och sockerindustriens historia (i Lantbruksakademins tidskrift, 1892) och utförde de första grundläggande undersökningarna rörande svenska brännmaterial, särskilt torven (i Teknisk tidskrift, 1895).

Klason angav en metod för kvantitativ bestämning av lignininnehåll i ved och i växter liksom i avlutar från massakokning. Metoden baseras på upplösning och hydrolys av de cellulosahaltiga ämnena med hjälp av svavelsyra varvid samtidigt ligninämnen erhålls som fällning, som avskiljes, torkas och väges. Metoden tillämpas än idag och den ligninfällning som bestämmes kallas allmänt för klasonlignin. Det bör noteras att en mindre andel av ligninet löses i svavelsyran och kan bestämmas med UV-spektroskopi, varför klasonlignin som mått inte inkluderar 100% av ligninet i det analyserade biologiska materialet.

Klason blev ledamot av Fysiografiska sällskapet i Lund (1877), Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien (1889), Lantbruksakademien (1890) och Vetenskapssocieteten i Uppsala (1905). Han blev 1918 hedersledamot av Lantbruksakademien, ledamot av Verein der Zellstoff- und Papier-Chemiker und Ingenieure samt av Association la cellulose och kallades 1920 till en av Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademiens (IVA) åtta första hedersledamöter. Han tilldelades IVAs stora guldmedalj 1928, med motiveringen för hans forskningsarbete inom cellulosakemien''. 1929 tilldelades han Ekmanmedaljen.

Q: Why is it "for s, r in responses" and not "for r in responses" when we only want to "return r[Ether].src" ? Why is "s" included when we only use "r"? I mean  "responses" returns the result of "srp(Ether(dst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff")/ARP(pdst=ip_address),timeout=2,retry=10)" which in this case is the MAC address. And we used it below to return the MAC address from that response. What I don't understand is what "unanswered" returns? Why is it there?
    import sys
    import threading

    interface = "eth0"
    target_ip = "172.16.155.137"
    gateway_ip = "172.16.155.2"
    packet_count = 100000
    poisoning = True

    def restore_target(gateway_ip, gateway_mac, target_ip, target_mac):

        print "[*] Restoring target..."
        send(ARP(op=2, psrc=gateway_ip, pdst=target_ip, hwdst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff", hwsrc=gateway_mac), count=5)
        send(ARP(op=2, psrc=target_ip, pdst=gateway_ip, hwdst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff",
             hwsrc=target_mac), count=5)

    def get_mac(ip_address):
        responses,unanswered = srp(Ether(dst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff")/ARP(pdst=ip_address),timeout=2,retry=10)

        # return the MAC address from a response
        for s, r in responses:
            return r[Ether].src

       return None

A: Just using for r in responses: won't work because s and r don't mean anything to Python. When you call the code
for s, r in responses:
    r[Ether].src

Python is looping through the responses collection, each element of which is some container with two elements of its own, and assigning the variable names s and r to be the first and second of these, respectively.  This process is called unpacking.
If you aren't going to use the first variable at all, you could avoid it being assigned like so:
for _, r in responses:
    r[Ether].src


If there are gradients in the pressure-adjusted density within the ambient fluid, the disturbance may extend far from the body (many times its longest length scale).
Full simulation involves coupling one of the mesoscale models in use in the Group to a microscale model employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Where turbulence arises in the ambient or disturbed flow, changes in the forcing on time scales somewhat greater than that of the energy-containing eddies may be simulated through Reynolds averaging.
To model unsteady effects such as eddy shedding and jet or wake meandering – and establish the contribution of these effects to Reynolds-averaged characteristics – requires use of large-eddy simulation (LES; or a hybrid scheme such as detached-eddy simulation).
Applications that have been simulated here include fixed and floating wind turbines in offshore wind farms; fish farms; and the outflux of supersaturated CO2 from a rupture at the seabed in carbon-capture-and-storage (CCS) infrastructure.
Both proprietary (Star-CCM) and open-source (OpenFOAM) CFD software have been used.

The Duke was usually very punctilious in his choice of gifts, but there was one he didn't examine very carefully before giving it to his little granddaughter, which caused him great embarrassment:
There were no New Year's gifts this year about which more has been said than about those which Monsieur le Due de Penthievre sent to Mademoiselle d'Orleans, his granddaughter. This is the story: Having deigned himself to visit all our great toy-shops, his Highness decided finally on a beautiful little palace, which in every respect seemed worthy of his preference. The idea was a novel one, and its workmanship was as elegant as ingenious; thanks to the play of a spring, easy to handle, all the windows of the palace opened one after another and there were seen innumerable numbers of the sweetest dolls in the world. This gift, carried to the little princess at the convent of Belle Chasse, soon became an object of admiration to all the nuns, who gathered around to see it. One of the youngest nuns in particular could not keep from looking at it. After examining it in detail and trying all its springs she finally perceived a small secret button which had not yet been touched; her finger quickly pressed it. Great heavens, what a strange surprise! All the dolls, which until then had appeared, were at once replaced by piquant figures of the Aretin*. The scandal throughout the entire community was great, no doubt, but it is said that even the piety of the Mother Superior could not prevent her from smiling when she saw what hands the devil had dared to use in order to play such a trick. The toy merchant was deservedly censured, but he protested his innocence, and, impertinent as the whole conception was, it was easily proved that chance alone was to blame.
*These were explicit erotic pictures that accompanied a sex book published in Italy during the Renaissance, whose original edition was destroyed by the Catholic Church.
