What North Korea Tells Us About the International System
Mar. 01, 2016 | | 0 comments
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is remarkable in many ways. Not only is it the last Stalinist regime on the planet, but it is also seemingly immune to either threats or persuasion. Neither China — the closest thing the dynastic Kim regime has to a friend or ally — nor the United States, have been able to change the way the DPRK actually behaves. It is in short, the quintessential "rogue state", but one that the so-called "international community" has proved incapable of influencing.
In part, of course, this is because there is actually no such thing as the international community to act in the first place. The very fact that the world's two most important states — China and the US — have such different views about how to deal with North Korea means that there is little possibility of genuine agreement about how to influence the DPRK's behavior. These kinds of divisions have made multilateral forums like the United Nations notoriously incapable of addressing key security problems, except when there are rare moments of unanimity on the Security Council.
In East Asia itself there are a number of initiatives and organizations that ought to be well placed to deal with issues like the divided Korean peninsula. The 6 Party Talks, which occasionally burst back into life, involve all of the key players — the two Koreas, China, the US, Japan and Russia — in a seemingly interminable quest to try and manage or even end North Korea's destabilizing nuclear weapons program. The fact these talks have dragged on for more than a decade and are currently in abeyance illustrates the difficulty of dealing with a state that sees the possession of nuclear weapons as fundamental source of regime security and a potential bargaining chip.
The 6 Party Talks are not the only potential vehicle with which to manage potential security flashpoints like North Korea, however. On the contrary, the broader Asia-Pacific region has its own longstanding multilateral forum that ought to be well placed to deal with this issue. After all, the ASEAN Regional Forum includes all of the major players with a stake in bringing stability to the Korean peninsula, including the DPRK itself. The reality, however, is that the ARF has proved powerless and ineffective.
This is no surprise. The ARF subscribes to the so-called "ASEAN Way" of diplomacy and is consequently based on consensus, voluntarism and non-binding agreements. Face saving is more important than problem solving; dealing with issues like North Korea — or the numerous regional territorial disputes for that matter — might make members feel uncomfortable and are consequently best avoided. The all too predictable result is that the ARF's record of achievement and conflict resolution is modest at best.
China and the US have such different views about how to deal with North Korea means that there is little possibility of genuine agreement.
Asian multilateralism has its merits, but it requires especially propitious circumstances to actually have an effect. Those observers who argue that the principal impact of ASEAN-inspired forms of multilateralism is to "socialize" its membership, build confidence and change behavior for the better, clearly have a point. The members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have been largely at peace with one another since ASEAN was inaugurated and the organization deserves some of the credit for this.
However, ASEAN's modus operandi rather assumes the good will of its members and the possibility that they are actually responsive to having their collective mind changed about the merits of cooperation. This is plainly not the case with the DPRK. Successive members of the Kim dynasty have proved remarkably impervious to threats, incentives, or advice. Anything that threatens their despotic grip on power is stoutly resisted. The possession of nuclear weapons provides a formidable geopolitical backstop for a regime that lacks other forms of security and legitimacy.
This is not simply a problem on the Korean peninsula. Saddam Hussein's big mistake in retrospect was not acquiring nuclear weapons before embarking on an aggressive expansion in such a geopolitically significant and sensitive region. Aspiring despots around the world have undoubtedly taken that lesson on board. You can quite literally get away with murder — especially of your own people — if you've got nuclear weapons, it seems.
And yet conventional strategic theory suggests that the Kim regime ought to be somewhat intimidated by the fact that its weapons systems are thankfully untested, possibly unreliable and, one would think, highly vulnerable to a first strike on the part of the US. Given the enormous military superiority of the US, it's not unreasonable to ask why it doesn't simply use its might to deal with a relatively puny, but highly irritating and potentially dangerous — to its neighbors, at least — state which has become a byword for despotism and human rights abuses.
Let me be clear, I am not advocating such a policy, merely considering what the failure to utilize these expensively developed weapons systems tells us about the way the strategic world works in the 21st century.
It is widely acknowledged that there is an effective stalemate between the world's great powers who know that if they consider using them against each other, they are potentially committing suicide. This is especially true of anyone mad enough to think of attacking the US, of course. And yet, paradoxically enough, even minor despots from third-rate countries can hold the great powers to ransom, it seems.
But if the US wanted to, surely it could quite literally wipe North Korea off the map tomorrow and nobody — most especially the North Koreans — could or would do much about it. Would China want to risk starting World War 3 to avenge its increasingly unreliable and problematic ally? Would Russia? While there would be much justified international outrage about the actions of any American government undertaking such actions, my guess is that it would not translate into actual conflict between the major powers. The logic of deterrence would likely prevail.
To be rather cold-blooded about this, it's probably not even necessary to kill everyone in North Korea to render this particular flashpoint inert. After all, the US has invested countless billions in developing highly accurate "smart bombs" that presumably could eliminate North Korea's leadership pretty efficiently. No doubt there is some latter day Dr Strangelove advocating precisely such a policy somewhere in the bowels of the Pentagon.
The US has invested countless billions in developing highly accurate "smart bombs" that presumably could eliminate North Korea's leadership pretty efficiently.
So why doesn't America rid itself of this troublesome despot? One reason is that we're fortunate enough to have Barack Obama in the White House. For all the criticism he currently receives as a consequence of his supposed procrastination, he's clearly the sort of man who thinks carefully before he acts. Better Hamlet than Macbeth any day. We know only too well what decisive action can look like in practice: the Middle East is still suffering from George W. Bush's calamitous efforts to bring democracy to Iraq.
But there is another, less tangible reason that this sort of cynical cold-blooded mass murder or political assassination is generally not undertaken: it would fly in the face of a long-standing belief in the US that it is an "exceptional" nation that is supposed to be a beacon for all that's good and noble in the world. There are, of course, many examples where the US has violated its own principles and employed a fairly brutal form of realpolitik when pursuing its own geopolitical interests. Indeed, Obama's frequent use of drones seems at odds with such principles. But is it really too fanciful to suggest that values and norms actually constrain the hand of even the most powerful actors? I think not.
All of this matters because the world is full of people who are clearly entirely uninhibited by "civilized" norms of behavior. Luckily, most of them don't have access to weapons of mass destruction — or not yet at least. Unfortunately, we can't be certain that the next incumbent of the White House will be restrained by supposedly civilized norms either. If that day dawns, we really could inhabit the sort of amoral world that some of my peers in academia believe is the natural order of things.

At JW photography Senior pictures are such a special a joyous time in a high school seniors and parents life. It marks the end of when a high school student transitions into an adult.

Heart disease happens when the blood supply to the heart is blocked by a build-up of cholesterol on the walls of the arteries around the heart. If one of the deposits of cholesterol bursts, it can cause a blood clot to develop, which blocks blood flow to the heart and triggers a heart attack. While there is no way to completely prevent yourself from developing heart disease, it is possible to lower your risk. This can be done by making some simple lifestyle changes and doing some tests to assess if you are at risk.
According to Dr Antony Malloy at medical health app Scout Health, the main risk factors for development of heart disease are high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking and family history.
Apart from family history, the other risk factors are within our control and can be monitored and tracked over time via simple tests, Dr Malloy told Express.co.uk.
Cholesterol and diabetes can both be screened and tracked through a simple blood test, which you can have done at your GP surgery. But you can also test for these at home via certain health apps, with results analysed by registered healthcare experts.
Blood pressure, meanwhile, can be watched by using a blood pressure monitor, which you can use at your GP surgery or purchase for use at home. You can also check your blood pressure via certain health apps, eliminating the need to visit your doctor.
"Many of these tests can now be done at home to save people from having to go to a GP or nurse, with the results analysed by registered healthcare experts through simple, easy to use apps.
There is "very good evidence" to suggest that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, wholegrains and other low glycaemic index (GI) carb sources, as well as nuts, seeds, legumes and unsaturated fats will reduce the risk of heart disease.
Fruit and vegetables contain an array of helpful vitamins and antioxidants and when combined, have a positive impact on the heart.
Wholegrain products, and other low GI carbohydrates, help to keep the body fuelled with a steady stream of sugar, which helps to avoid the damaging spikes in sugar that increase inflammation in the body, the risk of diabetes and the risk of heart disease.
Legumes, equally, are a "wonderful" source of low GI energy, as well as a great source of plant-based protein for cell repair.
Nuts and seeds contain lots of healthier fats and help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
Saturated and trans fats are bad for heart health and should be avoided where possible.
A regular exercise routine has the ability to reduce blood pressure, the risk of diabetes and overall inflammation in the body. All of these, in turn, reduce the risk of heart disease.
Most experts suggest aiming for 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
Chronic stress can lead to a more inflammatory state in the body, which is known to also increase heart disease risk over time.
"I think meditation is a tool that so many people could benefit from in 21st century society," said Dr Malloy.
"This ancient practice has never been more relevant and there are so many resources such as apps, websites and books available now to allow people to delve in to it.


The upside-down room in the Goblin City is directly inspired by a drawing by M.C. Escher (entitled "Relativity") - which can been seen in Sarah's room at the beginning of the film.
At the gates of the goblin city, Didymus falls off his dog and as the dog runs away it brushes up against the spikes which wiggle back and forth.
Jareth: I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.
Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production.

The Northstar approach says that each song should have a central idea and clear focus that is reinforced, or pointed to by each of its lines. In a series of three free introductory videos, Burr also discusses ideas such as adding images and words that help the listener be in the moment and experience what the writer is talking about. He describes this process by saying the song is a house and the lyrics are the"furniture" placed inside each room.

Hawaii football team aware of what needs to be done

It is fitting that the University of Hawaii football team's bowl hopes rest on starting a hot streak in Las Vegas this weekend.
After a 17-10 loss to San Diego State, the Rainbow Warriors likely will need to win their three remaining regular-season games to become bowl eligible. The Warriors are 4-6 overall and 1-4 in the Mountain West entering this Saturday's road game against UNLV at Allegiant Stadium.
While a .500 record is the minimum bowl requirement, there are exceptions if there are not enough qualifying teams to fill the 41 bowls, including the two College Football Playoff semifinals. If there are enough bowl-eligible teams, a 6-7 UH team would not be able to trump 6-6, 7-6, or 7-5 teams, a UH official confirmed.
"We've got UNLV next," quarterback Chevan Cordeiro said. "We've got to win three games to go to a bowl game. That's what we're focused on right now. We've got to win out for our seniors."
Running back/receiver Calvin Turner said: "We all know we've got to win the last three games to go to a bowl game. That's the goal right now. A lot of us are seniors and we want to play that extra game and try to get a (bowl) ring this year like we did last year."
This week's will focus will be on improving in several areas:
>> Offense: The base offense's goals are to play with tempo while establishing the run to set up play-action passes. But in consecutive losses to Utah State and San Diego State, the Warriors averaged 66.5 plays and held possession for 25 minutes, 46 seconds per game.
The running game also has slowed. Not counting sacks, the Warriors are averaging 75.5 rushing yards and 3.5 yards per carry the past two games.
Against SDSU, the Warriors averaged 3.6 yards on first down. On the first play of each series, the Warriors averaged 3.9 yards per carry and 8.0 yards per throw. Their lone touchdown came on a one-play drive — Cordeiro's 19-yard pass to Turner on a crossing route.
>> Special teams: It has been a series of Whac-A-Mole circumstances as the Warriors pound out one problem only to have another arise. After 12 seasons without yielding a blocked punt, three have been rejected this year. UH solved that with an adjusted protection scheme. The Warriors have mishandled six returns — two on kickoffs, four on punts — but played clean in that area against SDSU. But then the Warriors were burned when Aztec holder Jack Downing ran 13 yards for a touchdown on a fake field-goal attempt. "To be misaligned on something like that is inexcusable," head coach Todd Graham said. "That was a tough play." It appeared UH had only had 10 defenders on the field.
>> On the road: The Warriors are 1-4 on the mainland this year, but two of the losses were against Pac-12 teams and the other two were at 4,505-foot and 4,534-foot elevation. Las Vegas is approximately a mild 2,000 feet above sea level.
UH should receive a boost from fan support. UH distributed its full allotment of tickets weeks ago. UH alumnus and former Warrior tennis player Tom Kitaguchi also has secured a section for UH supporters. The Warriors also have come up with what they believe will be an effective travel plan. They will practice on campus on Thursday morning, then department that afternoon. They will return on Sunday on a 1:50 a.m. flight from Las Vegas.

Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig in 'The Skeleton Twins.' (Courtesy Roadside Attractions)
The LGBT fall film season gets off to a dramatic start with "The Skeleton Twins" starring SNL alums Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as Maggie and Milo Dean, melancholic twins who are reunited after a 10-year absence.
Maggie, unhappily married to Lance (Luke Wilson), is attracted to her scruffy scuba diving instructor. Milo, an unsuccessful actor in Los Angeles, returns to their hometown after a failed suicide attempt and tries to rekindle a romance with his former lover, Rich (Ty Burrell from TV's "Modern Family"). Under the steady hand of queer director Craig Johnson (who co-wrote the award-wining script with Mark Heyman), this very dark comedy features richly nuanced performances and a moving story of siblings trying to rebuild their tangled relationship. It opens today at the Landmark E Street Cinema.
Starting Oct. 3, D.C. audiences can enjoy the stylish thriller "The Two Faces of January," helmed by first-time director Hossein Amini. Adapted by the director from the novel by Patricia Highsmith (bisexual author of the homoerotic thrillers "Strangers on a Train" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley"), the film focuses on the steamy relationship between Viggo Mortenson and Kirsten Dunst as a glamorous American couple and Oscar Isaac as their scheming Greek tour guide. It will play at Landmark Cinemas.
Slated for release on Oct. 17, "Dear White People" is a complicated satire about race and identity politics that has been generating significant buzz at film festivals around the globe. Written and directed by openly gay Justin Simien, the movie tells the story of four black college students who are swept up in the controversy surrounding a blackface party thrown by a white fraternity.
Controversial gay director Greg Araki ("The Living End" and "Mysterious Skin") returns with "White Bird in a Blizzard." Shailene Woodley stars as Kat Connors, a teenage girl whose world is turned upside down when her perfect housewife mother (Eva Green) suddenly disappears. The cast also includes Christopher Meloni as her father and Gabourey Sidibe as her best friend. It's available on demand on Sept. 25 and in theaters on Oct. 24.
"The Imitation Game" opens in wide release on Nov. 21 and stars Benedict Cumberbatch in a historical drama about Alan Turing, the gay cryptologist who broke the German Enigma code during World War II but was later prosecuted by the British government for homosexual acts.
Meanwhile, the AFI Silver Theatre (afi.com/silver) in Silver Spring continues to offer a scintillating combination of contemporary indie films and international film classics. The fall lineup includes "Band of Sisters," a documentary about Americans nuns fighting for change within the Catholic Church and in their communities (Nov. 9). Retrospectives include the Silent Cinema Showcase which pairs vintage movies with modern musical performances (Nov. 1-22), the Robert Wise Centennial which includes "The Sound of Music" and "West Side Story" (Oct. 10-Dec. 1) and a Tim Burton Festival which features Halloween screenings of his creepiest movies.
In addition to these indie releases, LGBT films will be featured in three local film festivals. Continuing through Sept. 24, the D.C. Shorts Film Festival (festival.dcshorts.com) features 135 short films from 25 countries screened in 17 different 90-minute shows in three venues across the metro D.C. area. Under the direction of local gay filmmaker Jon Gann, this popular festival also includes workshops, a screenplay competition and legendary parties.
Reel Affirmations (ReelAffirmations.org), now partnered with the D.C. Center for the LGBT Community and the Human Rights Campaign, will feature a series of screenings, including:
• "Tru Love," a sparkling and evocative love story about the intersecting lives of three women (Sept. 19).
• "Campaign of Hate: Russia and Gay Propaganda," a powerful documentary by Michael Lucas. (Oct. 14).
• "Before You Know It," a lively documentary about LGBT seniors (Oct. 16).
• "First Period," a hilarious camp/drag comedy (Oct. 17).
• "52 Tuesdays," an Australian coming of age drama film about a teenage girl dealing with her mother's gender transition (Nov. 21).
• "What It Was," a surreal drama about a successful Latina actress whose life is transformed after a series of personal crises (Dec. 12).
Located just an hour west of the city, the Middleburg Film Festival (middleburgfilm.org) has quickly become a notable stop on the international cinema circuit. Films include indie premieres and sneak peeks at Academy Award contenders; special events include wine tastings, panel discussions and a "Meet the Artists" dinner.
While the slate for the 2014 Festival (which will be held from Oct. 30-Nov. 2) has not been announced yet, the Festival will honor Colleen Atwood with its Costume Designer Award and Marco Beltrami with its Film Composer Award.
Finally, two mainstream releases for the LGBT community to take note of are "Gone Girl," based on the wildly popular novel by Gillian Flynn and featuring Neil Patrick Harris (Oct. 3) and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part One," featuring strategically campy performances by Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks as Caesar Flickerman and Effie Trinket (Nov. 21).

No less than 7 watchtowers, are incorporated in this metre-thick wall that encloses the sanctuary of Sant Salvador.
This fortress and church, was built back during Moorish times on Mallorca, and expanded after the Catalan reconquest of the island. At this time, the town of Artà, was called Almundaina, and the entire area was known as 'Yartar'.
Inside the fortified area there is the house of the "Donat" (the person responsible for the Sanctuary) and two cisterns.
In the chapel, you find a figure of the Virgin Mary that was moved to the sanctuary from the church of Bellpuig (Catalonia) in the XV century. This polychrome wood carving was restored in 1952.
The 180 stone steps that lead up to the Sanctuary begin at the Parish Church of Transfiguration. The visit to Sant Salvador is free and offers extraordinary views over the town and the municipality of Artà.

I took some time today to read some of the course and exam description of this "new framework" -- it is fairly explicit about some ideas that have been left out of history classes far too long, for example, development of a "rigid racial hierarchy" in the United States, and exploitation of people who were already here when European colonists showed up.
If you follow links in the article you can get to a number of articles/documents that reveal both sides of the question to explore some of this material for yourself. I hope people will not stop at the surface arguments being raised in TN and elsewhere. We need a fresh analysis that uses new ways of thinking, not the old belief systems that perpetuate mindless, heartless oppression. It's time to dig deep for the buried treasures of history and bring them into the light.
The Republican National Committee in August voted to condemn the new framework and the College Board's "radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation's history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects."

Ed Hardy: Deeper Than Skin
Tattoo popularity exploded in the late 20th century, in large part thanks to Ed Hardy, the renowned tattoo artist who made tattoos mainstream. Through October 6th, the de Young museum in San Francisco shows the first museum retrospective of the artist's life with Ed Hardy, Deeper than Skin.
In celebration, we worked with the de Young museum to turn Ed Hardy's beloved flash into temporary tattoos and customized packaging available at the museum store. Learn more about Hardy and the exhibit below!
About Ed Hardy, the OG:
Don Ed Hardy was born in Southern California in 1945, and grew up fascinated by his father's friends' tattoos collected while serving in World War II. He went on to study fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1960's, where he took to works by Durer, Goya, and Rembrandt. He graduated with a degree in printmaking.
"Ed Hardy reinvented the nature of the tattoo inspired in large part by his early exposure to works in our collection," said Thomas P. Campbell, the director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Fransisco, where Hardy did research in their extensive collections.
One of his first tattoos was by Phil Sparrow in Oakland, who gave him a book of Japanese tattooing. The book reignited his childhood love for the medium. Turning down a fellowship in fine arts at Yale, he instead began a career as a professional tattoo artist. He honed his skills in shops in Vancouver, Seattle, and San Diego. These Custom Tattly flash designs shown here are examples of the work he did during that time.
In 1974, Hardy opened his own shop - Realistic Tattoo in San Francisco - the first studio in the United States to provide custom tattoos based on what the client wanted. His career also included working in paint, porcelain, drawings, and prints, which will be on display at the exhibition. Hardy has since retired from tattooing, but still mentors new artists. His current shop is in North Beach and is called Ed Hardy's Tattoo City.
About Ed Hardy: Deeper Than Skin at the de Young Museum.
Ed Hardy, Deeper than Skin is the first museum retrospective of Ed Hardy. Featuring more than 300 objects ranging from paintings and sketches (including drawings Hardy created as a 10-year-old!) to prints and three dimensional work, the exhibit will track the evolution of tattooing from its "outsider" status through Hardy's work and influence. It will be open from July 13 - Oct 6.
About Custom Tattly
We love working with brands, organizations, and individuals turn their tattoo dreams into a temporary reality!
For the opening of Ed Hardy: Deeper than Skin, we worked with the de Young museum, which is part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, to turn Ed Hardy's original flash into temporary tattoos and customized packaging. They'll be distributing them at their opening event and in their beautifully-curated museum store.

La Piula de Hodgson (Anthus hodgsoni) és un petit ocell que es reprodueix en Àsia Meridional, nord-central i Oriental, així com al nord-est de la Rússia europea. És una migrant de llarga distància que es desplaça en hivern cap a Àsia Meridional i Indonèsia. És molt semblant a la piula dels arbres (Anthus trivialis), però l'esquena és de tons oliva i amb menys ratlles que aquesta espècie. A més les marques de color al cap són diferents, amb una marca superciliar millor definida.

Hàbitat i distribució
 En estiu habita en zones forestals de l'Himàlaia, al Pakistan, Caixmir (República de l'Índia), cap a l'oest a través del Nepal, fins a la Xina (nord de la província de Gansu), i cap a l'est a través de Corea fins al Japó. Pel nord de l'Àsia Central fins al nord-est d'Europa (Rússia europea). Als països catalans i a la resta d'Europa Occidental només es presenta com un divagant ocasional. S'ha registrat criant fins a 4.500 metres a l'est del Nepal.
 En hivern habita els boscos de fulla perenne pel sud d'Àsia, des de l'Índia peninsular, pel sud-est asiàtic fins a les Filipines.

Subespècies
Se n'han descrit dues subespècies:
 Anthus hodgsoni hodgsoni Richmond, 1907.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The pages flip by, an endless wave of 8 1/2-by-11 sheets, an overwhelming dose of squiggly lines and corresponding letters. A snapshot of a mind in overdrive.
Mike Martz knows football. Ask anyone who's played for or against him.
Take a look at his seven-year tenure in St. Louis, the past six as head coach, where he presided over some of the best offenses in NFL history.
Or just take a peek at his playbook.
"Trying to learn every play in Mike Martz's playbook," said Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna, "is like trying to read every book in the library."
Martz has been called many things in his career.
And if his new offense can help defeat the defending NFC champion Seahawks in their opener Sunday at Ford Field, he can add this to the business card -- savior.
The challenge facing Martz in his first year as the Lions' offensive coordinator is to take a unit that ranked 27th last season, cram his voluminous "Greatest Show on Turf" system down the throats of players weaned the last several years on the West Coast offense and help bury a culture of losing.
"I have a vision of how a particular play in my mind, what should happen," Martz said. "And it has to happen. I think you set that standard that high, and so many of these young guys just play, they don't have those standards. That's not good enough. They're having to re-evaluate what their goals are."
That's the hope in the Motor City, where new coach Rod Marinelli has instilled a tough-love, disciplined approach since his arrival from Tampa Bay, where he was assistant head coach and defensive line coach.
But offense was not his forte. He wanted a man who had a mind for scoring points. The choice was obvious.
On the basis of a strong recommendation from Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith, whom both men had previously worked with, Martz took an interest in the Lions.
He had originally planned on taking the season off after he was fired from the Rams and to recuperate from a heart ailment that sidelined him for the last 11 games of 2005. But after Smith's reference and a meeting with Marinelli, Martz found he liked the situation in Detroit.
From the start, Marinelli made it known how fortunate he was to have Martz on board. He then turned over the reins, giving Martz complete autonomy.
"I pursued him, pursued him, and the more I saw the young talent here, I thought, 'God, he would be perfect here,' " Marinelli said. "He runs his thing. This is his offense."
What exactly that offense is, well, not even Martz fully knows. There is no real name for it, because it is constantly evolving. It is attacking, aggressive, precise and flexible.
He has a drill sergeant's need for order and a propensity to point out flaws in very militaristic ways. Martz is not shy about demanding a high level of performance from his players. Get with the program or get out.
"I don't think you're ever like 'I got this down,' " Kitna said. "I don't think this system is like that. But I love coming to work every day, I love the challenge of this system and I love the way he coaches quarterbacks.
"All he wants is us to want to win as badly as he does. And I don't have any problem with that. That's who I am."
In Kitna, Martz has found his latest quarterback project. In St. Louis, he turned a pair of anonymous quarterbacks -- Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger -- into Pro Bowlers.
Thus far Kitna has progressed nicely, but like the rest of the Lions, he's still playing catch-up.
For the rest of the offense that means transitioning from previous coach Steve Mariucci's West Coast system to Martz's attacking, up-tempo one. It's been a sometimes-bumpy adjustment, and even Martz acknowledged that he's not certain his charges have completely acclimated.
"I think we have the potential to be a real solid offense," Martz said. "I still think we're defining ourselves. When we're healthy, I think we'll be fine. We still don't know who's going to step forward and make plays in a game."
There are pieces in place. First with Kitna, then with a veteran offensive line and a go-to receiver in Roy Williams, a third-year player many see on the verge of a breakout season.
But those smooth, high-octane Rams offenses Martz ran for years in St. Louis? Don't expect déjà vu just yet.
A Martz-coached offense relies on speed (controlling tempo and the clock) and timing. It's a scheme that likes to force the issue. He is a master of forcing defenses to react to his sets and formations, of which he has almost an endless array.
And a quarterback must be adept at putting the ball where it needs to be. Footwork is a staple, so are balance and mechanics.
It takes time to learn terminology, understand the speed of the game, where to be on the field. And don't forget a playbook as thick as a dictionary.
"It's a wee bit different from the West Coast offense," Williams said. "It's a fun offense to be in. It's not the stop-and-go style of the West Coast. It's more on the move, get the ball in the playmaker's hands on the go.
"(Martz) is very demanding. He's an attention-to-detail-type guy. We do something wrong, it messes up everything. If the play says go 15 yards and we go 13, it's dead, because the quarterback is ready to throw."
So imagine what's it like facing this offense. For a defensive player, it means being attuned to every shift, every new formation, every new face on the field. It can be taxing.
That's the point. In a game of read and react, Martz wants to make defenders think. Every split second he can gain is an advantage. For a man who prides himself on control and the chase for perfection, the chess game of calling plays is like nothing else.
"He's got tendencies, just like everybody else," said Seahawks defensive end Bryce Fisher, who played for Martz in St. Louis. "But he's probably the smartest person I've ever been around, and I've been around rocket scientists -- literally. The guy, his mind is always working on doing things on the football field that people haven't seen."

The deal will mark the exit of Qwikcilver investors — venture capital firms Accel and Helion Venture Partners, besides strategic backers Amazon and Sistema Asia Fund — who are being paid in cash. Early investors Helion and Accel have made over 5-6 times capital invested in Qwikcilver, which has raised about $20 million till now.
BENGALURU: Point of sales machine maker Pine Labs has said it is acquiring online gift card company Qwikcilver at an enterprise value of $110 million. The acquisition has been funded from Pine Lab's cash reserves and additional funding from existing investors, which includes payments giant PayPal and venture capital firm Sequoia Capital India. The transaction will also push the valuation of Pine Labs to over $1 billion.
The deal includes partial liquidity for over 100 of 350 Qwikcilver employees who hold stock options in the company. Started in 2006, Qwikcilver had a majority market share in the gift card market with annualised gross transaction value of $1.5 billion across India, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Pine Labs CEO Vicky Bindra said the transaction is largely a cash one with "little bit" of equity for only the leadership team of Qwikcilver, which include co-founders Kumar Sudarsan and Pratap T P. Once closed, Qwikcilver CEO Sudarsan will join Pine Labs and report to Bindra.
As part of this acquisition, the combined gift solutions business for Pine Labs would house over 250 brands and retailers, and 1,500 enterprise customers. Prior to this, the company had started its gift solutions business under the name of Pine Perks. Pine Labs said it processes annualised payments of $20 billion.


Covering a Christmas classic with Savannah Outen was such an unbelievable experience. Silent Night is one of those songs that is so easily recognizable, but Savannah and I wanted to add our own flare to it. What do you think?


In last year's review of Udacity, I posited that among all MOOC providers Udacity had probably had the best year. Data released this year gave some evidence of just how well the company did in 2017.
Udacity made $70 million in 2017, up from $29 million in 2016. However, 2018 might not have been as good for Udacity. Udacity's CEO unexpectedly left, and a shift in global strategy led to major layoffs. Udacity ended 2017 with 500 employees. Now, at the end of 2018, it has 330 employees.
In spite of these setbacks, 40,000 people graduated with Nanodegrees in 2018, and Udacity is on track to end the year with 25% growth in revenue.
Udacity also struggled a bit because none of the Nanodegrees launched in 2018 became a major hit. This might have pushed Udacity to increase Nanodegree prices as well as cut the pay for Udacity mentors and reviewers (more on this below).
Udacity made a few other changes this year, including organizing courses in schools and launching a new Student Hub.
For reference, here's a quick recap of Udacity's 2017: strong revenues, moving away from free courses, global expansion, and the shutdown of several different initiatives: job guarantee, half your money back, and Blitz.com. You can read Udacity's 2016 year in review here.
To learn more about Udacity's 2018, keep reading.
By the end of 2018, Udacity expects to have 65,000 Nanodegree alumni. In 2018, Udacity saw a 100% year-on-year increase in graduations: about 40K students will have graduated from Nanodegree programs in 2018 compared to about 18K total graduations in 2017. Twelve percent of Udacity alumni have graduated from more than one Nanodegree program.
Currently, Udacity has 50,000 students registered in paid Udacity Nanodegree programs, with more than half of those students outside of the U.S. Twelve percent of these students are scholarship recipients, many of whom are sponsored by Udacity's industry partners.
The company has more than ten million students across its courses and Nanodegrees. According to Udacity, these students have spent 768 million minutes in the classroom and completed 350k projects in 2018.
Udacity has 250 global employer partners.
Udacity's global revenue is on track to end the year with 25% growth, which means revenues are just shy of $90 million. In 2017, Udacity made $70 million, up from $29 million in 2016.
Currently, Udacity doesn't have a new CEO lined up. Thrun and the Board of Directors, led by Peter Levine from Andreessen Horowitz (one of Udacity's investors), have begun the search process for a new CEO.
Sebastian Thrun is now overseeing day-to-day operations at Udacity. He, along with the Board, decided to implement a drastic change in Udacity's global strategy.
In September of this year, TechCrunch reported that Udacity had laid off at least 25 people. But the biggest surprise came last month, when Udacity announced plans to restructure the company and lay off 125 employees by early 2019.
Many of the personnel cuts will be to Udacity's Brazil office, where half of the 70-strong staff will lose their jobs. This is a surprising move, considering that Udacity has 10,000 active Nanodegree students in the country and that 1 in 5 Nanodegree students are Brazilian. Udacity will only market the Nanodegrees offered in Portuguese until December 31st 2018, and will presumably shut them down thereafter.
The remaining personnel cuts will come from U.S.-based departments related to creating Udacity courses.
According to VentureBeat, as part of this restructuring Udacity plans to grow enterprise-focused offerings in places like India, and consumer-focused operations in China and the Middle East.
Udacity crowdsources project reviews and mentorship (1:1 help). This is different from "Peer Review," which is usually done by students.
These services are often performed by Udacity Alumni, who at one time were well compensated for their efforts. Human-graded projects were one of Udacity's unique selling points, and in my experience as a learner they worked well.
Udacity co-founder Sebastian Thrun once boasted that top reviewers could make upwards of $20,000/month.
An ex-Udacity VP called their system "Uber for Project Reviews" in an article entitled How a Udacity Graduate Earns $11k a Month Reviewing Code.
But mentors and reviewers may no longer be earning these kinds of figures. Udacity has now combined project reviewers and mentors into a single role called "Udacity Mentors," and has instituted drastic pay cuts.
Other changes, such as variable pay scales based on the mentor's home country and changes in algorithms on how projects are assigned (leading to less work), have made it more difficult for individual mentors to earn high wages.
I have been able to piece together some details through Glassdoor reviews and reddit comments, but exact details have been difficult to find.
Here is a pricing chart I found online, showing how much Udacity pays its mentors. It's outdated, but it gives a sense of how much Udacity pays.
In 2018, Udacity started organizing Nanodegrees in five different schools: Programming, Data Science, AI, Autonomous Systems, and Business. It started with the School of AI, which Udacity announced during its annual Intersect conference.
Udacity currently lists 35 active Nanodegrees on its website. In 2018, it announced nine new Nanodegrees: AI Programming With Python, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Programming for Data Science, Data Scientist, Blockchain Developer, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Google Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence for Trading.
The VR Nanodegree was split into three different Nanodegrees. Reusing and remixing content to create new Nanodegrees is a common theme at Udacity. This can sometimes result in jarring experiences for students when the Nanodegree program they are pursuing changes mid-course.
In Udacity's 2017: Year in Review, I talked about how Udacity was moving towards a term-based schedule (i.e. start and end dates instead of the monthly subscription model). In 2018, Udacity formally announced the switch to term-based scheduling.
According to Udacity COO Clarissa Chen, Udacity has noticed a sixteen-point increase in graduation rates for a term-based Nanodegree over its old subscription model.
The term-based scheduling means that students need to finish all projects before the end of the term. Those who fail to do so are offered a four-week extension to complete any outstanding projects. If they don't, they are kicked out of the program and lose access to the content. Even graduates have access to content for only twelve months after the end of their program.
Furthermore, students don't have an option to pause their Nanodegrees. They can rejoin the Nanodegree in the next term, but will have to pay the full price again.
Switching to a term-based model also meant that students had to pay upfront instead of a monthly fee. While making this switch, Udacity also stopped offering both its job guarantee program and its promise of half your money back on completion, thereby effectively increasing its prices.
Additionally, in 2018 Udacity drastically increased the sticker prices for a good number of their Nanodegrees.
Originally the iOS Nanodegree cost $199/month and was supposed to take six months. It also came with a half your money back guarantee. So if you stuck to the Udacity schedule, you could potentially earn this Nanodegree for $600.
But when Udacity changed to a term-based schedule, the price for the Nanodegree shot up to $999 which you had to pay upfront. And you had to finish within seven months.
Now the iOS Nanodegree is split into two terms. The cost for each term is $999. So effectively the price of the Nanodegree has increased by 300%.
The Android and Machine Learning Nanodegrees have seen similar increases. Here are a few more examples of price increases in 2018.
According to one comment I found on reddit, it also seems that Udacity has started charging $100 for resume reviews, which used to be offered for free as part of Nanodegrees.
Some (if not all) of these were promoted heavily through various Udacity scholarships around the world, which might have boosted their numbers over other Nanodegrees.
As I noted in last year's review on Udacity, the number of free online courses launched by Udacity has been decreasing since 2015. This year was no different. In 2018, Udacity launched 25 free courses.
Half of those were part of a series of twelve career courses launched early this year. Some of these courses (if not all) have been available to Nanodegree students for a while now but were only made available to the public this year.
2) Android Basics User Interface.
3) Intro to Computer Science.
5) Programming Foundations with Python.
Last year Udacity updated their classroom. This year they launched a new Student Hub, which replaces the communities hosted on Slack. Below are few more updates from Udacity.
Udacity continued its approach of partnering with companies to give scholarships to students, or to announce challenges. Here is a review from a learner who received such a scholarship. She was one of the 15,000 students who received a scholarship through a joint program between Udacity and Bertelsmann, a media company. All the students were put into the same cohort. Two weeks before the deadline only around 900 students had completed all the course materials — a completion rate of only 6%. Interestingly, this completion rate is very similar to that of free MOOCs. This begs the question: does the act of payment itself influence completion rates?

Donor Conception and the Search for Information: From Secrecy and Anonymity to Openness
Series: Biomedical Law and Ethics Library
October 14, 2016 by Routledge
Author(s) Bio
This book examines donor conception and the search for information by donor-conceived people. It details differing regulatory approaches across the globe, including those that provide for 'open-identity' or anonymous donation, or that take a 'dual-track' approach. In doing so, it identifies models regarding the recording and release of information about donors that may assist in the further development of the law, policy and associated practices. Arguments for and against donor anonymity are considered, and specifically critiqued. The study highlights contrasting reasoning and emphasis upon various interests and factors that may underpin secrecy, anonymity or openness. The book will be of value to academics, students and legal practitioners involved with this area. It is also relevant to policy makers, health practitioners and anyone with an interest in the subject.
PART I – DONOR CONCEPTION, SECRECY AND ANONYMITY
Chapter 1: A brief history of donor conception, secrecy and anonymity.
Chapter 2: The call for information: donor conceived people, recipients and donors.
Chapter 3: The search.
PART II - REGULATORY APPROACHES AROUND THE WORLD
Chapter 4: Jurisdictions that have laws granting access to identifying information.
Chapter 5: Jurisdictions that enable both 'open-identity' and anonymous donation.
Chapter 6: Jurisdictions that have laws enshrining anonymity.
PART III – ANONYMITY OR OPENNESS?
Chapter 7: Examining arguments underpinning donor anonymity.
Chapter 8: Placing the issues in a Human Rights Framework.
Chapter 9: Information for All? Opening records from the past.
Chapter 10: CONCLUSION

Evgeni Plushenko did not take the gold at the Russian Figure Skating Championships for the first time in 15 years. Coming in second behind Maksim Kovtun, The Olympic champion won the short program but he could not lead in the free skating.
In the 2014 Olympic Games, team competitions will be performed for the first time. Ten teams consisting of two individuals (male and female), one sports pair and one dance pair will participate in the new Olympic tournament.
Kovtun has secured his participation on the national team in the Olympic Games in Sochi. He will take part in individual competitions. However he is not in hurry to rejoice: he says that this season he couldn't do the quadruple-toe-loop five times, R-Sport reorted.
In turn, Plushenko will only take part in the team tournament during the Sochi Olympics. "Now I can see clearly and understand everything very well. It will be enough for me just participating in team competitions," Plushenko told R-Sport.
Nevertheless his trainer Alexey Mishin during an interview with Rossiya 2 announced said that it is early to come up with the conclusion about who is going to participate in the Olympics from individual figure skaters.
"This will be resolved by the Ministry of Sports and the Federation of Figure Skating in Russia. Who, when and how he is going to take a part will be decided later during the European Championship in January," he said.
Although Plushenko coming in second at the Russian championships can be seen as unfortunate, just a year earlier there was a question of bringing him back to the ice at all.
Last February he had a spine operation and according to Dr. Ilya Pekarsky, his condition was bad even for a life without sports.

FOCUS ON RAILWAY ACTIVITIES
July 4, 2019 - EDITORIAL, EDITORIAL
Bangladesh Railway is one of the oldest institutions in Bangladesh. Its history dates back to 1862. It has already completed 156 years of its glorified journey and success and steps into 157 this year. This is of course a big matter for an institution to reach such a dignified position by passing over a long arduous way. The British regime first introduced the rail communication in this region of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent on 15th November 1862 with the construction of 53-km BG line between Darshana and Jagati as the only mode of land transport to cater to the transport needs of Bengal.
As a result, rail communication gradually started expanding towards the various corners of Assam, Bengal and other parts of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent. Accordingly, Bengal and Asam Railway was established on 1st January 1942. After the partition of Indo-Pak Subcontinent in 1947, India and Pakistan became two separate states. Pakistan became an independent state comprising the parts of West Pakistan and East Pakistan. Consequently, Bengal and Assam Railway was divided, and the portion of Bengal and Assam Railway, the route-length of 2604 kms which was existed within the boundary of East Pakistan, was named as Eastern Bengal Railway by the Government of Pakistan.
On 1st of February 1961, Eastern Bengal Railway was renamed as Pakistan Eastern Railway and in 1962, a Railway Board was formed and management of Railway was placed under the Provincial Government of East Pakistan. After the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, Pakistan Eastern Railway was named as Bangladesh Railway by the Government of Bangladesh. At that time, Bangladesh Railway had 2858.23-km rail line, 470 stations, 486 locomotives, 1643 coaches and 16823 wagons. This is in brief the beginning history of Bangladesh Railway.
Today, Bangladesh Railway is a vast institution, spreading from one end to the other of the country. After the inauguration of Jamuna Bridge on 23rd June 1998, Railway connection established over the Jamuna Bridge has been a milestone of Railway development across the country. On 14 August 2003, direct train service was started between Eastern and Western Zones of Bangladesh Railway. At present, BR covers the route-length of total 2955.53 kms throughout the country and has 466 stations, 272 locomotives, 1578 coaches and 4,309 wagons. Out of 2955.53-km route-length, 1846.09-km MG route, 676.66-km BG route and 432.78-km DG route.
Bangladesh Railway has already connected 44 districts of the country, covering the important areas of all these districts and plans to connect its network with every district headquarters to fulfil the present and future demands of the rail transport and to keep pace with the changing situation of the transport sector of Bangladesh in future. It is true that the transport sector of Bangladesh faces the challenges to provide cost-effective and comfortable services and opportunities due to densely populated country, mostly dependent on imported fuels.
But, transport by railway in Bangladesh is of course considered cost-effective, safer, energy efficient, environment-friendly, comfortable and reliable than other modes of transport. Railway also produces less greenhouse gases, requires less fuel and less land per unit of operation compared to road transport. In view of all these, since there is no alternative to effective transport system for sustainable development of a country, Bangladesh Railway can play more effective roles in attaining the goals of Vision 2021 and Vision 2041 that our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already set for achieving economic growth and ensuring sustainable development in Bangladesh and turning Bangladesh into a dignified status from LDC (least developed country) to DC (developing country) to DC (developed country) by 2041.
Realizing this, the present government, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has identified the problems and potentials of rail transport and given special attention to the development of Bangladesh Railway and undertaken a number of steps to implement the overall developments in rail transport across the country. Among many of these epoch-making steps of the government, the establishment of the Ministry of Railway (MOR), one of the highest allocations of the annual development budget for Railway and framing of a Comprehensive Master Plan for Railway development are highly mentionable.
All these have been possible due to active initiatives of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. So, being imbued with these initiatives, BR authorities have already implemented a good number of development projects, many are being implemented and many more are under process of implementation to improve the overall performance of rail transport, deliver quality and uninterrupted services to the people and ensure the punctuality of train services so that BR can usher in a new era of land transport in Bangladesh.
All these steps and efforts of the government and BR authorities have attracted our attention. We appreciate all of them and wish their efforts a great success. So, in this issue of The Guardian, we have focused on the activities, problems, potentials, achievements and future plans of BR, including the various initiatives and commitments of the present government in ensuring better train services for all citizens of the country by 2021.
Accordingly, this special issue contains the valuable messages of Railway Minister, Railway Secretary and a good number of articles contributed by BR high officials and railway experts, including an interview of the Director General of BR. These stories are highly informative, educative and interesting as well. We believe this issue will attract not only the attention of our learned policy makers and our valued readers at home and abroad, rather we believe all of them will of course find interest in it as well. Let's all hope for a better Railway and for a better Bangladesh.
