Tattoos, Homosexuality, and the Bible: An Apologetic Response to an Internet Meme
It would seem that Leviticus 19:28 has become a favorite passage of Christianity's critics. It especially crops up these days in Facebook rants and other forms of social media where unsupported arguments tend to easily succeed. Often, the claim goes something like this: Christians say that the Bible forbids homosexuality. In fact, they say this often, and at times are so passionate in their opposition to homosexuality that some even get tattoos of a particular verse denouncing it (e.g. Lev. 18:22). Yet, these Christians are evidently unaware that this very same book (Leviticus) also prohibits tattoos (19:28). This therefore proves (according to the critic), that (a) some Christian beliefs are outdated and simply cannot be applied literally in a modern world, and (b) most Christians themselves only cherry-pick which passages to believe and which to ignore. Otherwise Christians would be as opposed to tattoos as they are to homosexuality.
There are many, many problems with this claim. In fact, there are so many problems, its difficult to know where to begin. For example, first, there are the contextual and historical problems. I would venture to guess that probably 100% of the people who make this claim could not provide a brief but accurate purpose statement regarding the book of Leviticus. Nor could they likely describe in even the most general terms the historic period in view. Yet, apart from knowing these things, one can't begin to dissect the material in Leviticus with even a remote hope of arriving at a proper interpretation. The point here is that the Bible, and this book in particular is not a list of do's and don'ts that are disconnected from one another and are strung together in random order. There are themes and structures to these books, and these themes and structures prove vital to understanding, as do the cultural and historical contexts.
To illustrate this, we might take as an example the Shakespearean line, "beware the Ides of March." What does this mean? What is an Ide? To answer this we need to first understand the Roman context in which the play Julius Caesar is set. We would have to know the meaning of "Ide" and how the concept functioned in the Roman calendar. We would also want to know who says this line in the play (the soothsayer), and how Caesar responds (he ignores it). Notice though that none of this information can be discerned solely from the line itself. Some further investigation is necessary. In the course of that investigation, one would also want to ask how Shakespeare's audience understood this? What was its significance in their historical context? And, how does this single line contribute to the overarching story that Shakespeare has crafted? How does it move the story toward its climax? In other words, if we are to understand a line of text from any literary work, there is a whole host of other information that must be understood first. One cannot simply rip the line from its context and expect to understand it with any accuracy or depth. Every passage of Scripture, just like every line of prose, is part of larger story. Understanding that larger story is crucial to fully understanding the various parts.
The thing that is overlooked in these passages boils down to a very simple question. That question is, "why?" Why are tattoos and homosexuality prohibited in Leviticus? Is it for the same reason, and can these prohibitions be easily equated with one another? Answering this will tell us if the argument above holds water, and whether or not the prohibition against tattoos is as straightforward as critics would like to believe.
In addition to the question of "why", another extremely important aspect of Scripture must be considered, namely, how do the Old Testament (OT) and New Testament (NT) relate to each other on this issue? For example, does the underlying issue represent an OT practice that was fulfilled in Christ? This is the case with the temple sacrifices. Christians no longer are required to offer animal sacrifices, even though the practice is commanded in the OT, not because the OT is irrelevant or outdated, but because Christ fulfilled this in becoming the ultimate sacrifice. The NT states this unambiguously (Heb. 7:27).
The Prohibition Against Participation in Pagan Religion
Some might reasonably argue that it's asking a lot to expect the casual reader of the Bible to seek out and explore additional resources such as commentaries and theological dictionaries to gain a clearer understanding of these ancient texts. Yet, if the critic would take the time to actually read the text in question, they would immediately realize that their interpretation is problematic. They would see, for example, that the prohibition against tattoos is based on and is an extrapolation from the first commandment: worship YHWH, and Him alone (Exod. 20:3).
Even by simply reading the verse in question, Lev. 19:28, this can easily be understood. Of course, these critics are usually not really interested in what the Bible actually says, but only in holding on to their erroneous indictment. But let's look careful at vs. 28:
Lev. 19:28 "You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD."
I've put in bold two phrases that alert the reader to the fact that the issue at hand is holiness, or rather, pure devotion to YHWH, the God of Israel, and a simultaneous rejection of foreign religious practices. "For the dead" regarding the prohibition against cutting obviously refers to pagan religions.[1] The final phrase, "I am the Lord," serves to remind the Israelites Whom it is they are to serve and worship.
Furthermore, there is extra-biblical evidence to support the notion that tattoos in antiquity often carried religious connotations: "Such markings may have been designed to protect a person from the spirits of the dead or to demonstrate membership in a group. Some evidence for this has been found in the examination of human remains in Scythian tombs dating to the sixth century B.C." [2] There is also archeological evidence that the ancient Egyptians, among others, practiced tattooing, and that it had religious significance.[3] So, the prohibition against tattoos must be seen as a prohibition against marking one's flesh in ways that have religious significance or connotations, especially when considering that holiness, or separation and devotion to God, constitutes one of the dominant themes of Leviticus. This is especially true of the portion in which our verse is found. This section in fact, chapters 17–25, is usually referred to as the Holiness Code, based on the command, "You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy" (19:2; 20:7). When this is considered, it becomes even clearer that it is the connection to pagan religion that is the issue. Participation in ritualistic tattoos and scarring violate God's command to be separate from, or to be set apart for service to God, which is the literal meaning of holiness. As Harris says, "There was nothing morally wrong with cutting the hair or the beard or with tattooing. But these practices then, and also now in some places, were parts of heathen ritual." [4]
As such, this is a clear violation of what Jesus called the most important commandment, namely to love God with one's whole life and self (see Matt. 22:36-37). So, the claim that the book of Leviticus forbids tattoos, especially the innocuous modern sort, is simply false. To say so would be like saying that William Shakespeare thought everyone should be extra careful and on guard against intrigue on March 15th. It would be a gross misrepresentation of the text in question, and demonstrate a complete ignorance of the main story line.
Does this not imply then that the prohibition against homosexuality should only apply only to homosexual acts that are attached to pagan (i.e., non-Christian) worship? The answer is no, because though holiness is in view in both cases, the underlying issues differ. With tattoos the issue at stake is participation in false religious practices, as I've pointed out. Here the issue is a violation of the order of creation and complementarity of maleness and femaleness. This is the meaning behind the phrase "as one lies with a female." The author is pointing out that a male and a female compliment one another sexually in ways that two males or two females do not. Contra the tendency of our culture, the Bible does in fact distinguish gender, like it or not. Again, the key lies in the wording of each verse in question. Plus, that homosexuality is contrary to God's design and ordering of creation is explicitly reiterated twice in the NT (Rom. 1:27; 1 Cor. 6:9).
The Greater Fulfillment
The NT though has more to say about both of these issues. At the end of his letter to the Galatians, Paul makes a very profound statement about marks on his body. In 6:17 he says, "From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus" (NASB95). The word translated "brand-mark" here could also mean, tattoo or scarring, and it has tremendous relevance to the Levitical passage we've been considering.
Commentators are widely agreed that Paul is here referring to the various physical sufferings he endured in his service to Christ, such as his being stoned in Lystra (Acts 14:19).[5] Elsewhere Paul makes a similar statement, when he says true believers are "always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus" (2 Cor. 4:10 NASB95). In Paul's day, many participants in the mystery religions used tattoos or branding as signs of devotion to their god. But Paul says in both the Galatians passage and in the 2 Corinthians passage that for the Christian there is a better mark of devotion, namely the marks that come from a life of surrender and sacrifice that are in continuity with the sacrifice and suffering of Christ.
Therefore, the most important question for the Christian related to NT reference to tattoos then, is not "does the Bible forbid tattoos?" but rather, does my life bear the true marks of a Christian, marks bought in the trenches of sacrificial service to Christ? The question ultimately is, does our life bear true signs that YHWH is our King, and that we are but sojourners in a hostile, foreign land (1 Peter 2:11)?
If Christians would focus more fully on understanding and applying this, it may be that our authority to speak to the issue of homosexuality would greatly increase as well. After all, how can we ask those that struggle with homosexuality to make the difficult sacrifice of celibacy (a sacrifice Paul also made), if our own lives lack the evidence of sacrifice?
There is a stark contrast here between the type of self-inflicted suffering made in the name of religious pretention, and the genuine scars that will inevitable come to those who have fully entered a life of humble service. Perhaps our arguments against homosexuality too often go unheeded because our "markings"—the things meant to declare "we belong to Christ!", tend to be superficial and decorative, like tattoos of Bible verses and fish emblems on our cars. Paul would likely have been bewildered by these! Instead, if our bodies were "branded" the way Paul's was, by enduring whatever hardships it took to advance the Gospel, by physically suffering in order to help others find the Truth, then we might find people somewhat more interested in what we have to say, simply because it would be evident that our own comfort and agenda was not our primary concern.

Battle Looms Over Securing Virtualized Systems
VMware Seeks Security 'manager of Managers' Role for VShield
Symantec's Salem: Cloud was game-changer for us
The Virtual Blind Spot
Gartner: New Security Demands Arising for Virtualization, Cloud Computing
The rush toward virtualization of internal enterprise computing resources and cloud computing can have many advantages, such as server consolidation, but it's largely outracing traditional security and identity management practices.
By Ellen Messmer
Senior Editor, Network World, CSO |
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- The rush toward virtualization of internal enterprise computing resources and cloud computing can have many advantages, such as server consolidation, but it's largely outracing traditional security and identity management practices. That's leaving huge gaps, a sense of chaos and questions about where security products and services should be applied in the world of multi-vendor virtual-machine (VM) hypervisors.
"Virtualization will radically change how you secure and manage your computing environment," Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald said this week at the annual Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit. "Workloads are more mobile, and more difficult to secure. It breaks the security policies tied to physical location. We need security policies independent of network topology."
Gartner estimates almost half of x86-based server workloads are virtualized today, with VMware the clear market leader, but with Microsoft Hyper-V on the rise and Citrix a contender. Gartner advocates that enterprises plan to move to a private-cloud architecture. But at the same time, the consultancy acknowledged management tools and security really haven't risen to meet the occasion.
How HPE GreenLake Is Rewriting the Rules of ITaaS
Challenged by today's digital business environment? With ITaaS there's no need to own, manage, or understand the underlying resources.
GARTNER ANALYSIS: IT should be planning, moving to private clouds
"The hypervisor will be less secure than the physical systems they replace," MacDonald said. "The integrity of that bottom layer is paramount. The hypervisor layer you don't want compromised."
Today there's often a "lack of visibility and controls on internal VM-to-VM communications," said MacDonald. "Should VM No. 1 be talking to VM No. 3? How do you know they're not attacking? The traffic never comes out onto our physical network." Some companies are willing to live with this uncertainty, others not, MacDonald said.
But it's questions such as these that demand to be addressed to find out what options exist to tackle virtualization and cloud security. In MacDonald's view, there needs to be a wide range of security controls in the VM, such as virtual firewalls, intrusion-prevention systems and antivirus, in addition to load balancers and traffic shapers.
Increasingly, vendors such as Altor, Cisco, Juniper, IBM, Hytrust, HP, Enterasys, McAfee, Catbird, StillSecure, Sourcefire, Reflex Systems and StoneSoft are offering virtual-appliance options for firewalling, monitoring and intrusion-prevention, for example. For the VMware platform, "Check Point has gotten furthest along," said MacDonald. "After a slow start, finally the big security vendors are making progress on their virtual-security controls."
VMware has provided VMSafe APIs to facilitate hypervisor-based "introspection" so that multiple software agents are no longer required. The need to deploy and run agent software has traditionally "been the bane of our existence," MacDonald acknowledged. But there are still a lot of questions about exactly how this works.
Trend Micro, seen as the No. 3 player in antivirus behind Symantec and McAfee, has been the fastest to embrace some of VMware's ideas on this, including support for VMware's latest security APIs, vShield in its Deep Security product that can perform A/V scanning for vSphere. Trend Micro has been charging less for VM-based A/V software, perhaps figuring "it has nothing to lose," MacDonald said.
The downside of the Trend Micro Deep Security approach with vShield, though, is that "stub code" for VMware is still needed to make it work and a hypervisor extension, plus it's for Windows only and it quarantines but does not remove malware infection; it only does anti-malware scanning, MacDonald said. And the possible drawback with vShield, which has the software taking on the role of firewall, is that it's so specific to VMware vSphere, customers will end up with "another silo."
The transition to more virtualization-focused software-based security controls, though now filled with uncertainties, is still expected to occur, and though only deployed "in the single digits today," by 2015, Gartner predicts 40% of security controls, such as antivirus, will be virtualized. This will happen, MacDonald added, despite the fact that vendors such as Cisco and Juniper have been dragging their feet because they like to sell "overpriced physical hardware."
At this point, the main idea is to "treat the virtualization platform as the most important IT platform in your data center, from a security and management perspective," MacDonald said.
For those responsible for the identity management arena in the cloud, however, the situation appears to be particularly challenging.
"Until about two years ago, we were talking about how to do identity management internally," said Gartner analyst Gregg Kreizman. "Now, it's about how do we get our arms around the SaaS [software-as-a-service] problem? Or we used to manage the applications but now they're in the cloud" ... so it's leading to a never-before-asked question, "How about if we have our identities there?"
This is the cloud relative to the on-premises systems of yore, Kreizman said, and with SaaS providers using different interfaces, there's now a growing "interface risk" of a wider attack surface, plus more people potentially with their hands on the data. Google "is not very upfront about their security practices," Kreizman said. "Salesforce is a little bit better."
"Unfortunately, the default way to get identity information into a SaaS is to administer directly," said Kreizman. "A FTP or a Dropbox might be involved." Dropbox is a service that has suffered several security failures, including one this week involving a password-management problem that left user information exposed.
Companies today wanting to extend their corporate identity management systems to the cloud can seek to extend corporate identity-management systems, such as those from CA (which acquired Arcot Systems) or IBM, to specific cloud providers, if it's supported, in a hybrid arrangement. In addition, Exostar and Covisint fall into a realm now called a "community federation hub" to serve specific types of groups, in this case mainly aerospace, defense, auto manufacturing and healthcare. "It's a collection of users willing to pay for identity services under established federations and SaaS providers," Kreizman said.
There's a stampede of new choices racing into the identity-management market to hook up to the cloud, creating a "volatile market" and even "kind of a Wild West here," said Kreizman.
Among the players are Okta, Clavid, Symplified, Onelogin, Ping Identity (which also offers stand-alone federation software) and Nordic Edge (acquired by Intel). Some traditional identity and access management vendors, including Fisher International, idEntropy, Novell and Lighthouse, are selling packages and services for the benefit of cloud providers and customers.
VMware last August acquired TriCipher with the expectation of giving customer easier controls for SaaS in the future. And RSA technologies are expected to be leveraged in the cloud-trust authentication system that's expected to go into beta soon.
Although identity and access management as a service is still new, Gartner expects this could grow enormously in just a few years, from about 5% of identity and access management sales to as much as 20% by the end of 2012.

CHOC1 Helicopter Marks 200th Flight
February 5, 2019 CHOC Children's	1 Comment
Marking the launch of a new era for emergency transport services at CHOC Children's, the "CHOC1" helicopter landed for the first time atop the Bill Holmes Tower at CHOC Children's Hospital in 2018.
In just ten months, CHOC1 has clocked 200 flights, traveling all over Southern California, even as far north as Bakersfield, to transport critically ill patients to CHOC. On a typical afternoon, CHOC1 can fly to CHOC Children's at Mission Hospital in a mere seven minutes, as opposed to driving for one hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the freeways.
The transport team is comprised of expert physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists.
The transport team is comprised of expert physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists. At the helm is Kevin Barber, lead pilot.
Throughout his 15-year career as a pilot, Kevin has flown many different types of aircraft on a variety of assignments, but he's found the mission of flying children to be the most rewarding of his career. Prior to flying in the private sector, Kevin was a naval officer for seven years and holds a master's degree in public administration.
"Aviation offers many different avenues but only being an emergency medical services pilot offers the ability to make a difference in your own community and help people on what is one of the worst days of their lives," Kevin says. "Plus, the transport teams on our aircraft are top notch. There is a great amount of satisfaction flying with such professional physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and paramedics."
CHOC1's lead pilot Kevin Barber.
According to service partner Mercy Air, CHOC1 is the only helicopter in Southern California based out of a hospital, with four pilots and mechanics housed on site at CHOC, giving the transport team the ability to jump into action immediately.
State-of-the-art equipment on board
The helicopter is specially configured with high-tech equipment including neonatal isolettes and smart IV pumps that are loaded through the back of the aircraft and secured into a confined space.
One device in the helicopter is designed to cool critically ill newborn infants.
"To help reduce chances of neurological impairment in these sick newborn babies, cooling needs to be initiated within four to six hours of birth, or even earlier for better outcomes," says Tari Dedick, manager of emergency transport services. "If we pick up a critically ill baby in the Inland Empire, we can begin cooling immediately at the bedside and continue the therapy in the helicopter on the way back to CHOC, saving precious time."
Safety is the No. 1 priority for CHOC's transport team.
Mercy Air maintains its Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems accreditation, which has stringent requirements about staff training, medical equipment and even what the CHOC transport team wears, including flight suits and helmets.
Among Kevin's vast responsibilities as pilot is to closely track weight and balance restrictions. It's often a tight squeeze in the helicopter, with every person and each device weighed prior to the flight to determine precise weight and balance.
Widening reach
CHOC's transport team, using ground and air transportation, travels 100,000 miles each year to bring more than 4,000 patients to CHOC. Looking to the future, Tari says, the transport team anticipates eventually transporting trauma patients from all over Southern California to CHOC's Level II pediatric trauma center.
"Without a doubt, CHOC1 is widening our outreach while bringing the Southern California community closer," Tari says.

Robots Advance Telemedicine for Pediatric Patients
April 4, 2014 CHOC Children's	1 Comment
Dr. Knight demonstrates the RP Express, another device in CHOC's telemedicine fleet that travels with the transport team.
Thanks to the power of telemedicine, CHOC Children's physicians are able to remotely assess and monitor a patient from miles away.
CHOC began integrating telemedicine about seven years ago with the use of remote robots located in the Hoag Hospital Newport Beach Emergency Department, which allowed CHOC doctors to offer consultations for pediatric patients set to be transferred to CHOC, says Dr. Jason Knight, a critical care specialist and medical director of CHOC Children's Emergency Transport Services.
CHOC is connected remotely to the robots, now also located in the emergency department at Hoag Hospital Irvine, by a control station in its pediatric intensive care unit. In addition, Dr. Knight has a control station at his home, on his laptop and on his iPad so he can communicate with the robot – and help the patient at Hoag – from a variety of locations.
Dr. Knight says both patients and their parents love the robotic concept. The robot, which is about 4 feet tall, displays a picture of the doctor's face on the top of the device.
"The children think this technology is cool," Dr. Knight says. "When I introduce myself via the robot as a pediatric specialist, it always puts the parents' minds at ease because from that point forward, CHOC is involved with their child's care."
Telemedicine, also sometimes called telehealth, is the delivery of health care services using telecommunications or electronic technology. Telemedicine can involve video and audio equipment to assess a patient remotely, patient ...

Q: How can I make this TV lift control box smart? I have a TV bed with a lift in the footboard. The lift is operated by an IR remote to a soundbar (also in the footboard). There's a couple of niggles with how it operates, such as the soundbar needing to be powered on for around 12 seconds before the TV will lift up or down. I'm currently in a bit of a drive to make everything smart, I've got Home Assistant set up with a bunch of scenes and automations and I'm currently researching ESPHome and thought it might be a good first project to get into, but I'm a bit out of my depth even after researching similar devices with an up/down action (garage doors, recliner chairs).
I have an ESP8266 NodeMCU (v3) board and I've been able to program and connect to it using ESPHome and Home Assistant. I'm not sure of the next steps now, and need a bit of help.
Here's a diagram of the TV lift control mechanism:

A is a 4-pin molex connector with 3 wires in it. B is a 5-pin locking din connector with 4 pins in use. It appears 2 wires go to the lift and 2 wires come from the AC adaptor, whose output is 29V at 2A to 29V at 4A max.
Inside the control box, there are 2 20A relays, I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) one is to make the lift go up and the other is to make the lift go down. The following photo shows the circuit board components, the top cable goes to the soundbar for control and the bottom cable goes to the AC adaptor and lift mechanism.

Here's the rear of the board (not sure how helpful it is but I wanted to be thorough):

So, I think I have two options for my ESP8266 board:

*

*replicate the behaviour of the 3 wires coming from the soundbar; or

*control 2 identical relays to send power to the lift

I think 1 would be simpler, but I'm not entirely sure. How can I figure out what those wires do using a multimeter, then set up my ESP8266 to do the same? And how can I ensure the control box remains powered by my device when the soundbar is switched off?

A: Option 1 is probably the safest bet - relying on the existing board which has already been designed to do everything required to interface with hardware.
I would assume the two components at the top of the board as shown (4-pin DIP packages) are optocouplers. In which case interfacing the existing board with a different device (such as ESP) will be a case of figuring out what the signals. No extra hardware is likely required to interface the ESP, just hook up to two IO pins.
The three wires feeding in will be two control signals (white and black) and GND (green). I would try probing them with a multi-meter when the TV is moving up and down. If they are just on-off control signals a voltage meter should be sufficient to figure out what they do. If they are something more complex, you'd probably want a logic analyser.
In a simple world the signals would be just "Go-up" and "Go-down", but they could be something more complicated.

La Twingo II est une petite citadine du constructeur automobile français Renault produite entre 2007 et 2014.

Présentation
Annoncé par le show car Twingo Concept au Mondial de l'automobile de Paris 2006, la Twingo de seconde génération de série est présentée au salon de l'automobile de Genève de . Elle succède à la Twingo I, commercialisée depuis 14 ans. Cette deuxième génération est fabriquée en Slovénie (usine de Novo Mesto) et est disponible en concession depuis  en France et en Slovénie. Dans le reste de l'Europe, la commercialisation intervient en .

Esthétiquement, la Twingo a beaucoup changé, elle garde sa physionomie générale mais perd sa bonhommie et son originalité. Renault a souhaité s'éloigner de la génération, jugée trop féminine pour séduire une clientèle mixte. La marque veut également un capot plus long afin d'offrir une impression de sécurité accrue. La banalisation de son style autrefois unique lui est reproché, tout comme son profil très proche de la Citroën C2.

Mécaniquement c'est une révolution : elle propose des motorisations essence comme la version précédente, mais aussi des moteurs diesel, une première pour Twingo. Ceux-ci faisaient défaut à l'ancienne génération, surtout sur le marché français très friand de ce type de motorisation. La voiture a grandi, elle mesure  de long,  de large et  de haut. Le coffre peut contenir entre 165 L et 959 L selon la position des sièges arrière coulissants (coulissés à fond vers l'arrière, ou coulissés à fond vers l'avant et rabattus contre les sièges avant).

La Twingo II repose sur la plate-forme de la Clio II, dont le train avant est dérivé des Renault 9 et Renault 11. Son poids augmente de 13 % (820 à ) par rapport à la Twingo I, car sa longueur est supérieure de  (l'empattement est augmenté de  qui profite surtout à une protection accrue pour les piétons et à des moteurs plus puissants ou diesel), la largeur de  et la hauteur de . Le volume de coffre maximal est de  (avec la banquette ou les sièges arrière rabattus).

Elle reprend le principe de la banquette arrière coulissante de la précédente génération, mais les versions plus équipées (à partir de la finition Yahoo) adoptent deux sièges indépendants au lieu de la banquette.

La Twingo II a reçu la note de 4 étoiles de protection des passagers et du conducteur au crash-test EuroNCAP (le maximum étant de 5 étoiles) ainsi qu'une note de 2 étoiles de protection des piétons (le maximum étant de 4 étoiles). Le modèle testé n'avait pas d'airbags rideaux, disponibles en option (250 €).

Le  exemplaire de Twingo II sort de l'usine le . Il s'agit d'une version Société de couleur blanche.

Restylage
La Twingo II « phase 2 » a été partiellement dévoilée en avance en raison de différentes fuites dans la presse, notamment néerlandaise, fin . Elle est présentée officiellement le  au Salon de l'automobile de Francfort pour être commercialisée fin 2011.

Elle inaugure la nouvelle identité visuelle de Renault, particulièrement au niveau de la face avant (fente de calandre englobant un logo plus imposant, clignotants ronds séparés des phares…) et ses feux arrière désormais en deux parties (dont une sur le hayon). L'intérieur ne subit pas de grands changements. On note une meilleure qualité perçue.

Toutes les versions (y compris l'entrée de gamme Access) sont équipées d'un ordinateur de bord sauf celles équipées de la boite robotisée Quickshift 5. Pour des raisons de coût, la Twingo 2 "phase 2" sur le marché français est dépourvue de phares automatiques et d'essuie-glaces à capteur de pluie, ainsi que de compte-tours (sauf sur les sportives Gordini, RS et Gordini RS). L'ESP est disponible en option (mais de série sur RS).

En , la Twingo II est remplacée par la Twingo III à l'architecture tout à l'arrière radicalement différente qui, cette fois, n'est disponible qu'en 5 portes.

Motorisations et technique
Les « moteurs D » (D4F et D7F) sont repris de la Twingo I.

Elle est équipée suivant la motorisation de boites JB, JH ou JR, faisant toutes partie de la même famille. La JB a fait son apparition sur Renault 9 et Renault 11. Les JH et JR sont ses descendantes, commandées par 2 câbles.

Le Cx est de 0,34 environ. Le SCx varie de 0,615 (1,2 L 16v LEV) à 0,745 (1,6 L 133 RS) environ, pour la phase 2.

En essence avec le moteur  de , les finitions haut de gamme Night&Day et Initiale peuvent être équipées d'une boîte de vitesses robotisée  (BVR).

Il existe trois versions à caractère sportif :
 La GT, remplacée ensuite par la Gordini, est équipée d'un moteur essence turbocompressé   TCe de  ou d'un diesel  dCi de .
 La RS (Renault Sport) et la Gordini RS disposent quant à elles d'un moteur essence  développant . La base est donc le  16v (K4M) éprouvé depuis des années sur toute la gamme Renault. Il est ici appelé K4M 854. Bien sûr, il a eu droit à quelques optimisations : collecteur d'admission 'grosses sections' en aluminium, accouplé à un boitier papillon de F4R RS (moteur 2.0 de Clio RS), collecteur d'échappement 4 en 1 à parois minces (catalyseur intégré), vilebrequin de K9K (1.5 dCi), de nouveaux pistons pour augmenter le taux de compression à 11:1, d'arbres à cames spécifiques (levée des soupapes supérieure, 11mm au lieu de 9), injecteurs "gros débit" ( ~ à 3,5 bars), et des bougies hybrides de F4R RS (NGK PFR7Z-TG). Le déphaseur d'arbre à cames (admission seulement) est lui identique à celui des autres K4M équipés de la technologie VVT. Il est actif, si besoin, entre 1500 et , en dehors de cette plage, il est verrouillé. Il est alimenté en huile par une mini-pompe placée dans le couvre-culasse, et actionnée par une came carrée de l'arbre à cames d'échappement. L'admission est assez travaillée, de la boite à air au répartiteur pour offrir une sonorité, pas exceptionnelle, mais sportive en charge, surtout quand le clapet "anti-bruit" pour l'homologation placé sur la boite à air est retiré.
Le châssis est complètement différent. En effet, le train arrière est hérité de la Clio II RS, avec des moyeux arrière de Mégane II. Le train avant est spécifique à la Twingo RS et à la Wind, avec un berceau renforcé. La différence la plus flagrante : les triangles de suspension en aluminium. Les porte-fusées sont spécifiques, les moyeux proviennent de Mégane II. La barre stabilisatrice avant a un diamètre de , moins que les Twingo II moins puissantes, et pour cause, les ressorts de suspension sont plus raides. Elle est reliée aux amortisseurs avant par biellettes pour augmenter son efficacité. Le châssis Sport est abaissé de , le Cup, de . Les couples amortisseurs/ressorts sont différents pour chaque châssis. Les amortisseurs à gaz sont fabriqués par KYB. Le Cup est surtout à réserver au circuit, car il peut s'avérer contre-productif sur route dégradée ou bosselée, surtout car chaussé en 195/40R17. Les pneus de première monte sont des Continental ContiSportContact 3. Le châssis Sport a droit à du 195/45R16. Les jantes : 7J 16 pouces ou 7J 17 pouces avec un déport ET54 à 55. Le kit carrosserie est obligatoire, à cause des voies élargies (AV : , AR : ).

La partie freinage provient des Mégane II et Laguna III pour obtenir puissance et endurance à moindre coût : étriers avant de Laguna III (monopiston de ), disques avant de Mégane II ( ventilés), étriers et disques arrière de Mégane II ( pleins). Pas d'aide au freinage d'urgence (AFU) pour un dosage plus facile notamment sur circuit.

Le boitier et les biellettes de direction sont eux aussi spécifiques : 1,345 tour de volant (1/2 course).

La boite de vitesses est la JR5-176, à timonerie par câbles. Idéalement étagée pour une conduite sportive, celle-ci n'a pas été pensée pour l'économie :  sur autoroute à . Le débattement du levier de vitesse est faible, la sélection est plutôt précise.

L'ESP est déconnectable à 100% par un bouton-poussoir caché sous le volant, pour pouvoir profiter à 100% du châssis.

L'intérieur est repris en majeure partie de la Twingo standard avec pour seules différences : compte-tours gradué jusqu'à . (régime maxi du K4M 854 : ), sièges semblables à ceux d'une Clio II Dynamique, offrant un bon maintien et un confort correct compensant la dureté des suspensions. Ceintures orange (sauf Gordini), volant cuir perforé, pommeau de levier de vitesse et poignée de frein à main en zamak chromé satiné, en option. Banquette arrière pour le châssis Cup, sièges arrière individuels pour le châssis Sport.

Twingo RS

Twingo RS R2
Homologuée en 2010, Twingo RS R2 est la première Twingo de compétition. Conçue par Renault Sport pour le rallye, elle appartient à la classe R2 de la Fédération internationale de l'automobile.

Technique
Le train avant reprend la technologie McPherson, avec des bras inférieurs en aluminium et une barre antiroulis de série. Des rotules peuvent remplacer les silentblocs pour garantir une meilleure précision de pilotage. Reprenant également des technologies utilisées sur le modèle de série, le train arrière est basé sur un essieu souple à épure programmée et renforcé.

Les amortisseurs, développés en collaboration avec Öhlins, sont réglables sur deux voies en compression et en détente pour offrir plusieurs choix de réglages.

Le système de freinage hérite des étriers et des disques (ventilés de  de diamètre à l'avant et pleins de  à l'arrière) de série auxquels on ajoute un jeu de plaquettes compétition. La direction assistée électrique devient hydraulique pour gagner en endurance.

Les jantes alliage monobloc sont disponibles en dimensions 6,5x16'' (asphalte) et 6x15'' (terre) et chaussées des pneumatiques de 195/50R16 (asphalte) et 175/70R15 (terre).

Le « moteur K » (type K4M) RS  16v atmosphérique développé par Renault Sport gagne en puissance. Les principales modifications sur le moteur K4M RS  16v atmosphérique par rapport à une Twingo RS de série concernent les pistons, arbres à cames, volant moteur, la ligne d'échappement et une boîte à air spécifique. Cette préparation permet au moteur d'atteindre la puissance de 160 ch () à . Le couple maxi (160 N m) est atteint dès .

Le boîtier électronique développé pour la compétition gère la gestion complète du moteur (alimentation et allumage) et de la boîte de vitesses. Il est accompagné d'un faisceau électrique spécifique et peut être couplé à un système d'acquisition de données.

La boîte de vitesses séquentielle à cinq rapports développée avec Sadev est équipée d'un différentiel autobloquant à disques type ZF à glissement limité.

La commande s'effectue par un joystick placé à droite du volant. Elle est couplée à un contacteur de coupure moteur qui permet de garder le pied sur l'accélérateur lors des passages de rapports. L'embrayage est de type monodisque à commande hydraulique. Trois couples finaux peuvent faire varier la démultiplication finale selon les caractéristiques de chaque épreuve.

Le tableau de bord et la console centrale conservent leur apparence d'origine mais ils sont dépouillés pour mettre en avant une instrumentation à LED qui affiche les informations nécessaires dans les spéciales pour le pilote ou à l'assistance pour l'équipe technique. Un système d'acquisition de données est également proposé.

Les deux sièges-baquets sont reculés pour une meilleure répartition des masses. Pour les mêmes raisons, la powerbox, qui regroupe toutes les commandes électriques, est placée sur une console placée à droite du copilote.

Twingo RS R2 Evo
En 2012, Renault Sport présente Twingo RS R2 Evo. Cette évolution du précédent modèle est le fruit d'un travail sur la fiabilité générale ainsi qu'un développement technique.

Point central de cette évolution: en association avec Sodemo, Renault Sport parvient à tirer 190 ch du K4M RS atmosphérique de . Le couple est également en progrès, passant la barre des 180 N m.

Les liaisons au sol ont également été optimisées. Le système de freinage, entièrement repensé, a été redimensionné pour être plus efficace et plus constant.

Les trains avant et arrière à rotules sont associés à des amortisseurs Ohlïns à butée hydraulique.

Twingo RS R1

Homologuée en début de saison 2011, Twingo RS R1 est une voiture de rallye conçue par Renault Sport selon la réglementation R1 de la Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile.

Technique
Techniquement, Twingo RS R1 s'inspire très largement de Twingo RS de série. Le moteur et la boîte de vitesses sont strictement d'origine. Un couple court permet d'améliorer l'efficacité dans les spéciales de rallye. Les indispensables équipements de sécurité composent le kit conçu pour être monté par un pilote amateur.

L'arceau-cage soudé est manchonné en deux parties et boulonné dans la caisse afin de simplifier le montage. À partir de la Twingo RS de série, la préparation débute par les soudures de plaques de fixation sur la coque pour installer l'arceau. La boîte de vitesses est ouverte pour installer le couple court. Un nouveau circuit de freinage est mis en place avec un répartiteur avant/arrière et la déconnexion du système ABS. Autre étape importante du montage, l'aménagement de l'habitacle indispensable à la pratique du rallye.

Hérité de la Twingo RS, le moteur est le K4M RS  16v atmosphérique de 133 ch () à  et 160 N m à .

Des réglages d'amortisseurs spécifiques, des ressorts plus raides et un système de freinage spécial sont conçus pour la compétition, comme les jantes de 15 pouces et les pneumatiques de  de large.

Trophées
La Twingo RS R1 sert de base à plusieurs trophées organisés par Renault Sport et ses partenaires. En France, un Championnat de France des Rallyes Junior réservé aux pilotes de moins de  a été lancé parallèlement au Trophée Twingo R1 France à partir de 2011. En 2012, le Twingo RS R1 Trophy UK, sans limite d'âge, opère selon la même forme en Grande-Bretagne. La Suisse organise une Formule de Promotion.

Twingo Concept
La nouvelle Twingo a été annoncée au Mondial de l'automobile de Paris 2006 sous l'aspect d'un show car : la Twingo Concept, présentant le nouveau moteur essence turbo 1.2 TCe de .

Many believe Nostradamus predicted the rise and fall of Hitler and Mussolini.
Over the years, Nostradamus followers have noted hundreds of instances where "The Centuries" describes modern events. One of the most widely known is Nostradamus' supposed prediction of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime.
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
When the child of Germany observes nothing.
Nostradamus followers claim that the name "Hister" is a direct reference to Hitler. Another quatrain refers to a ruthless leader born in Western Europe, to poor parents (as Hitler was), and yet another one refers to Hister's conflict with Asia and Africa.
Skeptics ascribe the apparent accuracy of these quatrains (and others) to two major factors: problems with translation and simple coincidence.

So much for roughing it!
New York City mommies with money to burn are hiring professional organizers to pack their kids' trunks for summer camp — because their darlings can't live without their 1,000-thread-count sheets.
Barbara Reich of Resourceful Consultants says she and other high-paid neat freaks have been inundated with requests — and the job is no small feat.
It takes three to four hours to pack for clients who demand that she fit all of the comforts of home in the luggage, including delicate touches like French-milled soaps and scented candles.
At $250 an hour, the cost for a well-packed kid can run $1,000.
"I talked three people off the camp ledge," Reich told The Post. "For a lot of mothers, particularly when their child is going away for the first time, it's very stressful. Clients will say, 'I need to touch and feel the sheets for softness.' "
"But these are the kinds of things they can control. They're paying $10,000 for sleep-away camp, so they shouldn't feel so bad for their child."
Two years ago, she had one trunk request. Last year, she had five trunks, and this year, she has packed 10 trunks — and it's not even Memorial Day.
Professional organizer Dayna Brandoff of Chaos Theory has at least four camp-packing requests on the books and expects at least 15 more in June.
Some of her clients have requested she recreate their child's bedroom so they can feel completely at ease in their air-conditioned bunks.
"It's really about bringing the feel of home to camp," Brandoff told The Post.
"A lot of the parents that I work with want to duplicate the bedding that they have at home. They're sending plastic boxes and shelving to give their kids more space."
Social researcher Wednesday Martin says there's a new crop of professionals who hyperfocus on catering to the administrative aspects of child-rearing.
"Women who are Type A, hard-driving, competitive career moms — that is, being a mom is their career — can hire staff, assistants, professional organizers to help them do it better," she said.

Q: RDA5807M FM antenna question I am trying to use RDA5807M to build a radio. My circuit is basically the same as the reference design in data sheet.

I know the design uses the GND of earphone as antenna. But I don't understand the function of F1, F2, C1 and L1.
I chooses to remove them from my circuit and the circuit works well. What if I put them back? Will the antenna work more efficiently?
Another question, why the LC tank consists of C1 and L1 is 107MHZ?

A: F1 and F2 are inductors that are designed to have relatively high impedance at VHF .This is to stop valuable RF signal being wasted .It also stops RF getting into the AF output pins of the chip .If you went close to a transmitter tower strong RF could cause distortion ,Instability ,Malfunction of the chip.L1 and C1 form a tuned circuit that broadly accepts signals in the FM band and attenuates out of band RF energy .This is a simple receiver and one low Q tuned circuit is better than nothing .If it was not present the chip would have to deal with pretty much all RF signals and overload would be more likely. L1 C1 is normally tuned midband when you have a fixed tuned circuit .You might want to make C1 variable and peak it on your favourite station .The surrounding circuit does have some detuning effect .The overallparasitic capacitance tunes it slightly lower .


I get some unusual design jobs. There was the submarine job. The 116-foot-long Fautasi (super canoe) for the Samoan village was interesting, as was my trip to Samoa. Over a year ago my phone rang one afternoon and the gentleman calling asked, in a deep sonorous voice, if I would be willing to design a Class A racing sloop to compete in the Anguilla races. I asked where Anguilla was then said I'd be happy to design the boat. I had no idea what an Anguilla Class A boat looked like and I had no idea of the class rules. But it sounded like an interesting project and I don't get asked to design many racing boats so I jumped at the chance. My new client, Mr. Carl Richardson, directed me to some website where I could find videos of the boats racing.
Anguilla is in the eastern part of the Caribbean in the Lesser Antilles in the Leeward Islands. It's only 39 square miles big but it is very beautiful and appears to be a wonderful place to vacation. The sailboat racing in their local classes is intense and very competitive. The Class A rules are loose. The boat cannot have an LOA greater than 28 feet. Ballast must be internal and the keel must be a "full keel" type. That's about as specific a set of rules as I ever got. The boats are crewed with between 14 and 22 men and there is a good chance some of the crew will be asked to swim ashore once the weather mark is rounded. Ballast is in the form of heavy iron bars that the crew carries from side to side with each tack.
After watching the videos of the boats sailing it occurred to me that maybe the boats could be faster with less crew and less rig. As you can see by the sailplan the rig is very unusual and huge. I suggested this to Carl but he was adamant that we stay with the big rig and big crew. Obviously, while the written rules were few there was the spirit of the class that has to be adhered to. I designed the boat to displace 11,556 pounds with full crew and movable ballast for a D/L of 236. I was not sure how much of the "full keel" I could cut away and still stay within the spirit of the rule so I gave my client a few options and one was accepted. Unfortunately the local builder who built the boat under a shade tree took some liberties with my lines after I provided full-size Mylar patterns, but that's what happens when you are dealing with an old traditional model and an old traditional builder, Mr. David Hodge. Construction is white pine planking on plywood frames with West epoxy.
I begged my client to let me design a more modern rig for the boat but in the end tradition won the day. The boom I drew is 34 feet long. But I suspect the boom they built is 38 feet long. I'm just not sure. There was not a lot of communication during the build. As drawn the SA/D is 35.5. I have watched several videos of these boats racing and videos of Tsunami racing but I have yet to see a jibe. I imagine it is action-packed. There are no winches on the boats.
There are about a dozen of these Class A sloops racing. The start is a Le Mans type with the boats anchored close to the beach, making shoal draft a premium. My client would like me to come down for the next racing season. I am anxiously waiting for some race results.


It was a great day to be a Fishburne Military School Caisson at the VIC Conference XC meet on Saturday. Almost every runner posted their fastest 1 mile split on the Humankind Course (Old Presbyterian Home campus). Some cadets continued their overall time improvement as well, with 8th grader Justin Hill and 7th grader Ian Clardy earning season personal records (PR's).
Fishburne Military School Cadet Joseph Presley Thomas Jones, Class of 2019, of South Fulton, TN, was officially presented with the Military Order of the Purple Heart's annual Leadership Award on Wednesday. The Military Order of the Purple Heart Award recognizes an outstanding cadet who is enrolled in the ROTC/JROTC program and demonstrates leadership ability.
Yesterday, Fishburne Military School officially announced its monthly Cadet Awards winners for the month of October.

Purpose – The growing importance of knowledge and innovation in the present era motivated the author to study knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) in general and the case of India in particular. The objective of this paper is to track in brief the strength of India's economy, which if harnessed properly can lead to its transition to a knowledge economy. More specifically, the paper tries to address two important questions: 1) What constitutes knowledge-intensive services (KIS) and KIBS? And 2) How has KIBS been performing in India?
Design/methodology/approach – The paper makes use of secondary sources of data including various reports, books and journals, and statistical tools. An attempt has been made in this paper to review those studies which try to define KIS and KIBS. The data analysis of KIBS in the case of India has been done for the periods 2001–02 and 2011–12 for which information was available from various reports by the Central Statistical Organization, National Accounts Statistics.
Originality/value – Although there is empirical research on the KIS and KIBS of European Economies, KIBS in India has not received much research attention. This paper will therefore mainly focus on the performance of KIBS in India.


High school student private detective, is being used by a daemon king that feeds on mysteries. It sure is amusing. Once a while it drops in some comedy just to lighten up the atmosphere around it. The only problem I have is the IQ level of everybody around them. It doesn't take a genius to notice that she is not the one solving the mysteries. I mean, at least try to use something to hide the OBVIOUS FACTS in a DETECTIVE anime.


Viennese waltz is the oldest of this family of dances. The other three dances - waltz (or slow waltz, or modern waltz), foxtrot, and quickstep - are descended from it, either directly or indirectly.

COVID rates up slightly in Clarke County, other Athens area counties
Lee Shearer
lshearer@onlineathens.com
COVID-19 numbers edged up slightly in Clarke and some neighboring counties over the past week.
According to the Georgia Department of Public Health's daily COVID-19 update, Clarke County's case rate increased to 222 per 100,000 population. A week earlier it was at 200. The two-week percentage of COVID-19 tests that are positive also increased, from 4.0 percent to 4.7 percent.
Statewide, the case rate also continued to increase — the seven-day average climbing 4 percent in the week ending Nov. 2. The case rate still remains well below the state peak in July, however. The state positivity rate also increased slightly, from 7.2 percent to 7.5 percent. Cases increased most among children between 5 and 17 years old.
Clarke has the second-lowest positivity rate the area, however. Oconee is lowest at 4 percent. Oglethorpe County (15.8 percent) posted the highest positivity rate, followed by Madison County (15.3 percent), Jackson County (12.5 percent) and Barrow County (11.3 percent).
Jackson County had the highest two-week new case rate at 304 per 100,000, according to the DPH's COVID-19 update Tuesday. Oglethorpe was also high at 282, followed by Madison (225), Clarke (222), Barrow (193) and Oconee (137).
The area now has four counties classified as "high-transmission," according to the weekly County Indicator Report released by the DPH on Monday: Barrow, Oglethorpe, Madison and Jackson.
Four area counties are also listed as "emerging," meaning COVID-19 is on the rise: Clarke, Madison, Jackson and Oglethorpe.
The DPH now lists 199 confirmed deaths from COVID-19 in the six area counties, and 10 probable COVID deaths. Those include 50 deaths in Clarke, 52 in Barrow and 42 confirmed and four probable in Jackson.
Statewide, Georgia has recorded 8,029 confirmed and 450 probable COVID deaths.
Jackson County's high COVID numbers were reflected in last week's public school COVID updates posted by each school district.
The Jackson County School System reported 236 staff and students in quarantine because of COVID in the week ending Oct. 28, including 11 percent of students and staff at Jackson County High School.
Jefferson City Schools reported 3.5 percent of its students absent because of COVID as of Oct. 30 — about 130 students.
Oconee reported six students and staff testing positive for COVID, with 19 in quarantine.
Clarke listed five COVID cases and 19 staff and students in quarantine, down from 15 cases and 53 in quarantine a week earlier.
Barrow reported five student COVID cases and 65 in quarantine, and four staff positives and 16 in quarantine. A total of 765 Barrow students have entered quarantine since school began in mid-August.
Oglethorpe County schools reported four COVID cases as of Oct. 30. The school system has not been publicly reporting the number of COVID absences.
All area school systems except Clarke County began the school year with in-person instruction. Clarke plans to resume in-person instruction for most students Monday.
Madison County reported five COVID cases among students and staff as of Wednesday, with 40 students and 11 staff in quarantine.
Almost all Georgia counties continue to have a high two-week new case rate of more than 100 cases per 100,000 people, according to the DPH. Just two counties are listed in the "moderate" category, between 10 and 50 new cases per 100,000 people: Sumter and Charlton counties in the southern part of the state.
The number of COVID cases at the University of Georgia also increased slightly from the previous week, with 79 cases reported to the university or detected through voluntary testing in the week ending Nov. 1.
Of 2,103 asymptomatic students and employees who volunteered for testing — the highest weekly total so far — 33 tested positive. The positivity rate increased for the fourth week in a row to about 1.57 percent, but both the number of positives and the case rate remain far below their peaks in early September.
Of the 79 UGA COVID cases, 57 were students, 22 were staff and faculty.
UGA's University Health Center reported 158 COVID tests done at the health center on those with symptoms, with 12 testing positive.
UGA plans to increase its testing capacity to 1,000 a day from Nov. 9-20, the university announced Wednesday.
"Those who are considering traveling to be with loved ones should know whether they are virus-free, and the best way to determine that is to have a negative COVID-19 test before heading home," said Dr. Garth Russo, executive director of the University Health Center, in a news release.

A New China Syndrome
By Lucia Green-Weiskel
In recent months Hollywood liberals and Washington neo-cons have formed an unsung and unholy alliance against China, and especially the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games. These groups have tried to shame China into using its economic leverage to condemn the violence and human rights abuses in Darfur, and into ending its brutal crackdown in Tibet. From Hollywood to D.C. and well beyond, many say that China should not be given the honor of hosting the Olympics until Beijing improves its human rights record.
China has so far rejected any accusations of wrongdoing and instead assumed the role of victim, digging in its heels on both fronts: Beijing, which buys oil and in return sells guns and other weapons to Darfur—a region rife with genocide—claims that the U.S. also supports countries with poor human rights records, including Saudi Arabia and Israel. On Tibet, it's a similar story. China's state news agency, Xinhua, has published editorials claiming the Tibetan groups are "terrorist organizations" that falsely inflated the death toll of the March 2008 protests. The vast majority of Chinese people consider Tibet to be an inalienable part of China and believe there are no humanitarian violations taking place. According to an editorial that ran in an early April edition of the China Daily, Tibet is part of the "Chinese family" and the Chinese government freed Tibet from feudalism and serfdom. The official sentiment in Beijing is that the outside world is unfairly harassing China and ruining the supposedly apolitical and festive spirit of the Olympics.
Like it or not, China views the human rights discourse as Western hypocrisy—as an ideological weapon in a geo-strategic struggle that pits a declining U.S. against a rising China. One does not have to agree with brutal Chinese policy in Tibet or Darfur to see that the Chinese have a point. Given the growing scandal surrounding the Beijing Games, it is worth looking at the history of human rights discourse and its application to China by the West.
Members of the U.S. Congress and Washington's conservative elites have been hurling insults at Beijing and attempting to influence Chinese domestic policy for decades. Beginning with the anti-Communist hardliners of the 1950s, a policy of regime change in China has floated in minority circles in Washington. In the early years of the George W. Bush administration, Donald Rumsfeld suggested to Bush that China, above all other threats, be regarded as America's principal foe. (What about Osama bin Laden, one might ask!) According to the Department of Defense's Quadrennial Defense Review, released just after 9/11, "the possibility exists that a military competitor with a formidable resource base will emerge in the [East Asian] region." The unstated competitor was, of course, China.
Recently, new ranks have been added to the China-bashers. Hollywood liberals have started using China as their whipping boy: Mia Farrow has taken to calling the August games the "Genocide Olympics." Steven Spielberg has withdrawn from his role as an artistic adviser for the event, citing political reasons. Liberal organizations like Save Darfur and Free Tibet have used celebrity power to draw attention to China's actions. Even while the U.S. increases its economic reliance on China, more and more people are raising concerns about China's authoritarian regime.
But, this type of pressure has not had the desired effect. The diplomacy of shaming China has not worked in the past, does not work now, and will continue to be a failed mission for the United States. And there are several historical, philosophical, political, and economic reasons why this type of diplomacy doesn't work well in China.
First, the Chinese Communist Party (or CCP) pursues a foreign policy of nonintervention and thus resents external pressure on its domestic affairs. Beginning with the humiliation of the Treaty Port system and China's defeat by European powers in the Opium War of the 1840s, China's foreign policy has had at its center an unwavering commitment to anti-imperialism. The historic association with submission to external pressure runs deep and profound, even today. The flip-side of all this is that China is a fierce advocate of national sovereignty and the right to self-determination. Beijing stresses equality, mutual non-aggression, and peaceful coexistence for all states, rich or poor, large or small, old or new, semi-autonomous or not. Because the CCP considers Tibet part of China, the issue of the region's separatism is considered to be a problem for the CCP alone to handle, and foreign support of Tibetan separatists is thus seen as a violation of Chinese sovereignty.
Second, when Western activists talk about human rights in Tibet, it is not clear what the term would mean in the Chinese context. Current conceptions of human rights were by no means derived universally and with global participation. The concept of legal human rights originates with the teachings of the Western philosopher John Locke. But Lockean theory has no role in Chinese history. According to Columbia University political scientist Andrew Nathan, Chinese official jurisprudence "stresses the priority of social and economic rights over civil and political rights, and of national rights of self-determination and development over the rights of individual citizens within countries." The fact that the international declaration of human rights makes no mention of Chinese traditions (either from Confucianism or Daoism) leads many Chinese to believe it is a foreign construct and for that reason object to its application in China.
The power of an international human rights regime has been sustained by Western-dominated international institutions such as the United Nations, and by international non-governmental organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. These organizations are responsible for the largest share of the research and publishing of information on China's human rights record. Other organizations such as the Human Rights First, the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Office of Tibet in New York, Tibet Information Network in Germany, and the International Campaign for Tibet in Washington, D.C., are also Western-based organizations which are fiercely critical of China. From China's perspective, proponents of human rights have gone beyond their mandate to protect individuals and instead are serving components of a larger agenda of the Western liberal elite to destabilize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). For example, the Chinese Foreign Ministry was quoted saying that the US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, had "ulterior motives"—i.e., to undermine the CCP—after she drafted a proposal to ask the Chinese government to end the crackdown in Tibet this spring.
The reality is that individuals and political groups in Washington that advocate an anti-China strategic agenda share a goal with those who advocate a humanitarian agenda. Both groups want increased surveillance of, and US involvement in, China's domestic affairs. Both groups have stated that they hope to prop up a domestic dissenting faction in China and that they would like to embolden that faction to disrupt the power balance within the government. Both groups have an interest in inciting domestic popular uprisings. Summed up, both human rights activists and proponents of what is known as the China Threat Theory hold as their stated interest is the goal of threatening the legitimacy of the government. From China's point of view, a concession made to the human rights activists is a concession made to those who want to dismantle the seat of power in Beijing.
Chinese leaders have made it clear that compliance with human rights norms is not as important as achieving economic growth and thereby improving the quality of life for ordinary Chinese people. Indeed, many young people—who are riding on the backs of a booming economy—have the government to thank for their fast-growing material wealth and buying power. This is making it increasingly unlikely that human rights groups will find allies among China's youth. A Chinese student on a recently-aired Boston Public Radio show said that in China, "there is a different definition of human rights. I think for most Chinese—they are concerned with economic development and a better life and improvement in their living." Another student added, "We have power. We have what we want…From the development of the country, we [can] benefit a lot."
Although there is on-going evidence of humanitarian violations in Tibet, and perhaps even a "cultural genocide" as the Dalai Lama has stated, there are also real signs of economic improvement there. Tibet's GDP growth in 2007 was reported as a record 13.8 percent. As long as this is true, Beijing will continue to emphasize the benefits and improvements of economic indicators that measure "quality of life" in Tibet and use that as evidence to prove that other freedoms—such as cultural, religious or legal rights—are less important.
Instead of compliance, the CCP response to shame has hardened. Tibet is not any closer to independence because of the protests in London, Paris, and San Francisco featured in the international media. These events simply provide an opportunity for the Chinese government to wave Tibet's positive economic indicators in the world's face. At the same time, there has been an increase in police presence in Tibet. According to researchers Thomas Risse and Kathryn Sikkink, countries that are singled out and charged with abusive practices often find quick fixes, which the authors call "tactical concessions" and "cosmetic gestures." For example, China in the past has made cosmetic gestures in order to access material benefits. In 1990 and 1991, when China was angling for Most Favored Nation trade status from the U.S., it released 881 political prisoners associated with the Tiananmen Square incident of 1989. To this day, the Chinese people are still without the tools necessary for political participation and the country is no closer to any sort of political reform. Indeed, what we have seen so far is that foreign protests lead to more crackdowns.
What Deng Xiaoping did for Chinese commerce ("If it makes money, it's good for China") Chinese president Hu Jintao now needs to do for human rights (i.e., If people are treated humanely, it's good for Chinese sovereignty). Should China, on its own, adopt human rights values, Westerners would no longer be able to "shame" it. By granting rights to its own people, China could leverage itself politically in the international community. Thus, if America's Hollywood liberal elite and their neocon "allies" were to present the human rights argument in a different light—as an opportunity for China to grow and strengthen itself—perhaps they could gain more traction.

Over the course of nine consecutive days in 2005, an artist stages performances at nine different sites around the city. At each location she holds up a handmade protest sign, usually carrying a slogan from a past protest, though her intention is not to re-create historic events. Instead, she freely transposes slogans and sites.
