A: I had exactly the same problem.  Upon checking the logs recorded in %TEMP% I also had the following error -

VS setup process exited with code 1006

The solution was to download an updated version of the VS_Enterprise.exe bootstrapper.  This has solved the problem for me.

A: Check the error log (they are saved into %temp%), if the errors are transient (eg. network issue) then re-run the command to build the offline installer.
This will incrementally validate and update the offline installer.

I had prepped Stonehenge paper for more ruins work and felt the impulse to do large portraits. I work on each enough to feel it has come alive and then move on to the next. I am determined to do 8 and then review them to decide whether to adapt them further.


This is a fabulous 17th century oil on canvas. It is showing what is known as Purgatory (a place between heaven and hell). Some people believe we are currently living in purgatory and when it comes to end we are judged on what we have done in our life to decide as to where we finish up. This is beautifully depicted in this image and it is an extremely unusual example. The colours are superb and make it extremely decorative as does the size. The details are superb and the amount going on gives you plenty to look at. Allowing you formulate your own ideas. A great talking piece and certainly an item you wont come across again easily.

US President Joe Biden and his counterparts from the world's most industrialised nations have gathered at Elmau Castle in the Bavarian Alps, Germany, before they continue on to Madrid for talks with NATO partners.
Issues such as a sustainable planet, economic stability and transformation, healthy lives, and sustainable investments will also be discussed at the summit. (AP)
Since the start of Russian attacks on Ukraine, the first in-person gathering of the world's seven leading economies has kicked off in Germany with leaders discussing the conflict-related food, and energy crises.
The three-day event, started on Sunday, is taking place at Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps, with its agenda considered more urgent than ever as the conflict in Ukraine continues.
Having taken the G7 presidency from the UK in January, Germany has set a goal of "progress towards an equitable world."
Under the theme, issues such as a sustainable planet, economic stability and transformation, healthy lives, and sustainable investments will be discussed.
As the UN has repeatedly warned of an "unprecedented global hunger crisis" as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the G7 leaders are expected to make new commitments to food security and tackling rising energy prices.

The United States has imposed unprecedented costs on Putin to deny him the revenue he needs to fund his war against Ukraine.
Together, the G7 will announce that we will ban the import of Russian gold, a major export that rakes in tens of billions of dollars for Russia.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 26, 2022
Focus on conflict repercussions
The situation in Ukraine would top the agenda with leaders promising more help to the country.
The world's seven richest nations have already announced a ban on Russian gold imports.
"Together, the G7 will announce that we will ban the import of Russian gold, a major export that rakes in tens of billions of dollars for Russia," US President Joe Biden said on Twitter.
"We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. The negative global impact of Russia's war will be front and centre of our exchanges at the G7," said EU chief Ursula von der Leyen.
Also, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made it once again clear that the government will continue to support Ukraine.
"Now is not the time to give up on Ukraine, they need the support and resolve of the G7 more than ever," he said on Twitter.
According to the UK government statement, the UK is ready to guarantee another half a billion dollars in loans to the Ukrainian government, bringing the total UK economic and humanitarian support to over $1.8 billion (£1.5 billion).

The German police, meanwhile, completed preparations to tackle possible demonstrations during the event.
More than 20,000 police were on duty for the security of the G7 leaders.
US President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attend the summit.
In addition to the seven states, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Senegal, and Argentina are also invited.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to speak at two sessions that include issues like the environment, energy, climate, food security, health, gender equality, and democracy.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the heads of state and government of partner countries, and chairpersons of the international organisations will also be involved via a video link.

Gamescom – The Sims 4 Get Together
by Lebanna
Written by Lebanna
The Sims 4 Get Together was announced at the beginning of Gamescom. This new expansion pack all revolves around friends. Whether it is making new friends, or hanging out with your current friends.
There are new skills, new interactions, a new world, new items and much more. During my stay at Gamescom, I got the opportunity to see a presentation about the new expansion pack, as well as ask your questions afterwards.
The Sims 4 Get Together was announced at the beginning of Gamescom.
This new expansion pack all revolves around friends. Whether it is making new friends, or hanging out with your current friends.
There are new skills, new interactions, a new world, new items and much more.
During my stay at Gamescom, I got the opportunity to see a presentation about the new expansion pack, as well as ask your questions afterwards.
The expansion pack is still in development and they are at a pre-alpha stage, so some things may change before release.
All the question that could be answered are in the article.
I have split this article into 2 categories. World and Gameplay.
Windenburg – World
The new world Windenburg is an European inspired world. The inspiration for the world came from different European cities/towns.
It is about the same size as Willow creek or Oasis springs, but they are still building it, so no final answer on this question.
Windenburg has different neighbourhoods, just like the other worlds. It has an old part of the town, a newer part, and a private island, which is more posh.
Windenburg is a regular world you can live in, build your business in (if you also have The Sims 4 Get to Work), or visit venues.
There are also new venue types, a pub and a café. You can set any lot to this venue type, this means you can also build your own, or download some cool ones from the gallery.
Besides venues there are also a few new spots in Windenburg, The Ancien Ruins, Hedge Maze and Cliffside Bluff. They are standard in Windenburg, but if you want them in one of your other worlds, you can place them there too!
One of the questions was if you could build on the beach. SimGuruAzure answered that there is a build able area there. But more information on this is coming.
One of the cool new lots in Windenburg is a massive 64×64 lot! I'm sure this will thrill a lot of legacy placers and of course, builders and players that love big mansions.
The whole expansion pack is focused on friends and hanging out together. So much of the new gameplay features are focused on this as well.
One of the major new features is the club dynamics. While we have seen groups in previous games, this feature is new because you can create your own club, with its own terms, your wishes, you can determine who gets to join, and who doesn't. You can set age restrictions if you want a child or adult only club.
You can not however set a gender restriction. So no girls only clubs or boys only clubs. You could kick out Sims if you really wanted a girls/boys only club 😉 #YouRule
You can recognize who is in what club by their Plumbobs. They have little icons that represent that club in their Plumbobs, and the leader has a little crown on it as well. I asked if the icons would be visible at all times, or only when they are hanging out as a club. And SimGuruLyndsay answered with: We are still figuring that out, as we don't want to overcrowd, but what do YOU want?
I personally would want the symbols only when they are hanging out as a club. Not at all times. What is your opinion?
Set what your club likes to do, give it a name, set their icon, become the leader, or determine what other club they like or don't like. This was SimGuruAzure's favourite part of the new expansion, creating conflicts by making clashing clubs. And see how she can get Sims kicked out of their club.
An example used at the presentation was the "misfits" and the "fitness club", the misfits didn't like the jocks. So Azure made the leader of the misfits ask out a Sim of the fitness club. This will cause friction between the misfits. And it can result in, in this case, the leader being kicked out of the club, because she did something the club members didn't like.
Besides your Sims' actions, emotions play a role in clubs as well, though, they couldn't tell us what or how yet, so we have to wait and see.
Your Sim can join up to 3 clubs, but you can only be active in 1 club at any given time. So you have to choose which one to participate in, for example when your other club is on the same lot. How this works exactly will be showed/explained in the next few months. I see it as, you can do multiple aspirations with 1 Sim, but you can only do 1 actively at the time.
When you hang out with your club, the members do practically everything together. Whether they hang out at home, or someplace else. They also walk in groups.
There can be up to 8 Sims in a club.
Skills, traits, aspirations and other tidbits
There are 2 new skills. Dancing, and DJ.
The dancing pretty much speaks for it self. They couldn't go into depth about if there is going to be synchronized dancing, we will find out more about this skill later (bummer!)
DJ'ing is an activity that is practiced on the DJ booth. And while there was no confirmation about actual new jobs/careers, they could say that you can make mixtapes as a DJ, and sell them. So there is a new way to make money.
SimGuruLyndsay told us there will be 1 new aspiration and a few traits, but couldn't say more. But yay for a new aspiration.
Along with new activities and gameplay, there will also be new buffs/moodlets.
Now, a new death type, this question got a few sketchy eyes between the SimGuru's. In the end they decided on: "We can not tell you anything at this time." So watch this site for more information to come, closer to release.
We have seen a few new items from the trailer and a few drew a lot of attention.
The espresso bar, the walk-in-closet, natural pools and fußball.
Funnily enough 2 of these items were the favourite items of SimGuruLyndsay (the espresso bar) and of SimGuruAzure (the walk-in-closet).
The Espresso bar is where your Sims can get drinks (and if I recall right, food as well, but don't quote me on that). The espresso bar is made of modular sections. That way you can use it at home as well, without having to place the complete bar. The machine and the bar are separate elements for example. There is also a smaller version of the espresso machine to use at home. What Sim couldn't use a pick me up?
And the most exciting thing according to SimGuruLyndsay, is that you can take your espresso or food to go!
We have seen a little more about the walk-in-closet from the trailer. We know Sims can woohoo in it. And can try out outfits. One of the neat features is that you can try out outfits with a group. Use the interaction "Try out *Everyday/athtletic/etc* together" to try out a certain look, and your friends will react on it if they like it, or if they hate it.
But something we didn't know is, that children can play in it as well, so they have this little secure area where they can pretend to fly. Can't wait to see this in action, sounds so cute!
The natural pools, we were not shown these at the presentation, so all we have seen is just from the trailer. They did however tell us a little more about it. You can make your own natural pools. It works like the regular pool tool. They haven't added any additional shapes to it though, there are how ever, new 'decor' items. More natural plants and sorts I presume. To me, this is my personal favourite.
There will be a pre-build area for your Sims to explore. Or you could of course build your own somewhere.
And of course, the fußball table. Nothing new was said about this, but it is a cool new item your Sims can enjoy together.
One of the great new features though, is that portable items can placed anywhere, so you can create parties anywhere!
There is still a lot we don't know and I look forward to the upcoming months before the release in November 2015!
Simmaniac says:
Thank you for the preview! Excited to learn more in the months to come!
Anet Duffy says:
Thank you for the preview, and the new info – and I agree, I would only like the plumbobs to be active while you are playing the club – I don't want my town view filled with plumbobs!
Lebanna says:
Glad I'm not alone 🙂
Sindee Sim says:
I was excited to learn about this . finally swimming! d.j. booths! can the Sims learn new dances by themselves or do they have to be "in a group"? now that we have "café" are we getting restraunt soon? This sounds really cool! But in my opinion Vampires would be cool Castle ruins, hidden place, sure miss them ;)!
They couldn't tell us much of the Dancing skill yet. So no information on group dancing or what/how they learn.
Vampires do fit into European history indeed

Bolivia's Elections and Evo's Surprising Political Malaise
By Robert Albro

Departmental and municipal elections in Bolivia last week dealt a significant setback to President Evo Morales's party, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS). Benefiting from strong economic growth, broad-based support from among the country's many social movements, and the absence of major controversy, last October Morales was elected to a third term as Bolivia's president with an impressive 61 percent of the vote. He is on track to be in office until 2020, making him the longest-serving leader in Bolivian history. Last week, however, the party won just four of nine races for departmental governor and two of the races for mayor in Bolivia's ten largest cities, reversing a trend of sustained MAS dominance since Evo's election in 2006. Most alarming for the MAS is that it lost across the board in the previous strongholds of La Paz and El Alto. This unexpected outcome has touched off speculation that the MAS is running out of steam.
The MAS emerged as a national political force during the sustained social ferment of the early 2000s. It reaped the benefits of widespread popular disenchantment with government as a movement for change and indigenous enfranchisement, and it built a successful coalition across ethnic, class, rural-urban, and to some extent, regional differences. The MAS's rise coincided with the collapse of the country's established political parties. As the only remaining national political movement, the MAS has since often identified its approach to governance as a bottom up, participatory, or popular plebiscite – a multiethnic and plurinational vision of local autonomy that it has successfully enshrined in the country's constitution. Addressing last week's upset, Vice President Alvaro García Linera noted the MAS had done a poor job of cultivating new local leaders. Evo suggested it was a "punishment vote" in response to recent corruption scandals involving MAS candidates. Nor did Morales do his candidates any favors when he threatened not to work with opposition politicians in El Alto or La Paz if they were elected.
Despite this setback for the MAS, local opposition at the polls does not necessarily lead to national opposition. The political opposition remains fragmented, and the MAS remains the country's only truly national political party. Even where it lost races for governor or mayor, in most cases the MAS enjoys a majority in the state legislatures or city councils. However, several factors – corruption scandals, continued dependence on the extractive industries, and the party's habit of co-opting right-wing non-masistas as candidates where it thinks they will win – point to the stubborn persistence of different national and local political realities. When the MAS has run into problems in recent years, as with recent controversy over a plan to build a highway through the TIPNIS indigenous territory and national park, it is because it misread local political terrain, chose poor candidates, and ran afoul of regional or local autonomies. The horizontal and plural coalition-building that has been the MAS's hallmark can be a clunky local political instrument. Last week highlighted that local electorates are less driven by social movement ferment, ideology, or historical change; are notably distrustful of MAS impositions from above; and are more interested in prosaic matters of good governance and candidates they know and trust. It was certainly not the beginning of the end of the MAS. But if the national party continues to struggle in the face of diverse local political realities, it could signal for the MAS a gradual death by a thousand cuts.

Bolivia: Evo Wins Again
By Fulton Armstrong
Photo credit: Eneas / Foter / CC BY
President Evo Morales's landslide election to a third term – fueled by a combination of moderate policies and fiery leftist rhetoric – portends continued stability in the near term, with still no indication of how his party will continue its project after him. Although official results have yet to be announced, and some preliminary data show Evo garnering around 54 percent of the vote, exit poll estimates gave Evo a massive lead of 60 to 25 percent over the next closest candidate, a wealthy cement magnate named Samuel Doria Medina. Regardless, the enormous margin separating Evo from his competitors precludes a runoff race. Doria, who also ran against Evo in 2005 and 2009, claimed that OAS praise for the elections before the polls closed was "not normal," but he is not disputing the results and has conceded defeat. Congratulations to Evo poured in first from his left-leaning allies – Presidents Maduro (Venezuela), Mujica (Uruguay), Fernández de Kirchner (Argentina), and Sánchez Cerén (El Salvador) – but other voices soon followed. The victory set Evo on track to be the longest-serving president in Bolivian history since national founder Andrés de Santa Cruz lost power in 1839. His party, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), is also reported to have expanded its control of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, although vote tallies are not final.
Evo has achieved things his domestic and foreign detractors said were impossible. While his rhetoric has been stridently leftist and anti-U.S. – he even dedicated his "anti-imperialist triumph" to Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro – his policies have been decidedly pragmatic and disciplined, and the results have curried favor for him among foes. His economic czar has emphasized Bolivia's commitment to "have socialist policies with macroeconomic equilibrium … applying economic science." The economy grew 6.8 percent last year and is on course to grow another 5 percent this year. Foreign reserves have skyrocketed; Bolivia's are proportionately the largest in the world. Poverty has declined; one in five Bolivians now lives in extreme poverty, as compared to one in three eight years ago. IMF and World Bank officials, whose policies Evo largely rejected, have grudgingly conceded he has managed the economy well. Some of his projects, such as a teleférico cable car system linking La Paz with the sprawling city of El Alto, have garnered praise for their economic and political vision. He even won in the province of Santa Cruz, a cradle of anti-Evo conspiracy several years ago. In foreign policy, he has good ties across the continent, but strains with Washington continue. The two countries have been without ambassadors in each other's capital since 2008, and talks to resolve differences over the activities of DEA and USAID failed and led to their expulsion from Bolivia.
Sixty-plus percent in a clean election for a third term – rare if your initials aren't FDR – signals that Evo, like Roosevelt, is a transformative figure. No matter how brilliantly Evo has led the country, however, the big gap between his MAS party and the opposition suggests political imbalances that could threaten progress over time if he doesn't move to spread out the power. Evo has given the MAS power to implement his agenda, but he has not given space to rising potential successors. He has said he will "respect the Constitution" regarding a now-disallowed fourth term, but it would take great discipline not to encourage his two-thirds majority in the Senate to go ahead with an amendment allowing him yet another term. It would be naïve, moreover, to dismiss out of hand the opposition's allegations of corruption by Evo's government, but his ability to grow his base above the poor and well into the middle class suggests that, for now, the fraud and abuse do not appear to be very debilitating … yet. Washington, for its part, seems content with a relationship lacking substance rather than joining the rest of the hemisphere in cooperating with Bolivia where it can.

Bolivia: Lessons from the MAS
By Santiago Anria*

As Bolivian President Evo Morales's Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) prepares for the October 12 general election – which opinion polls indicate it will win by wide margins – the MAS appears to be a remarkably diverse organization capable of adapting operations to different regions of the country. It fits neither the typical journalistic portrayal of Latin American social and political movements as clashing with political parties and elected governments, nor political scientists' characterization of parties as unitary actors under the control of a unified leadership. Founded by coca growers in the mid-1990s as their "political instrument" to contest power, the MAS has become the collective political expression of grassroots organizations now in power – to this day having diffuse boundaries and multiple faces, combining features of a grassroots movement and a party, and being a remarkably successful instrument for exercising rule.
The MAS's regional diversity is one of its greatest strengths. As an organizational actor, it looks and operates differently in different contexts depending on how the political space is structured. In the Bolivian central region of the Chapare, where strong peasant unions are aligned with the MAS and control the territory, civil society and party are fused. Grassroots organizations monopolize the political space, and local decision-making structures are embedded in the union structure. Their success is rooted in "agrarian union democracy," which emphasizes that "bases" exert control on the leadership – that the rank and file should lead and leaders should follow. In the eastern city of Santa Cruz, on the other hand, the MAS has made inroads in traditionally hostile territory by developing an unusually strong local party organization with remarkable mobilization capacity, and that capacity gives it a central role in local governance. As in other cities with large informal economies, the local structure draws support from two powerful urban sectors – transportation workers and street venders – and is organized territorially in districts that operate both during and between elections. Rather than having the features of a movement, in Santa Cruz the MAS looks and works more like a conventional political party. In the Chapare, Santa Cruz and elsewhere, the MAS organization has considerable latitude to operate locally within alliances and policies usually defined at the national level. As a result, the MAS and its governmental counterparts are not often, or by necessity, in tension.
Latin American history offers many examples of political movements becoming personalistic vehicles for charismatic leaders. More than 10 years since it became a credible electoral vehicle, the MAS may offer a more promising organizational alternative. Morales is certainly a charismatic leader, with significant popular legitimacy and authority within the MAS. His leadership cannot be overstated, and he is the dominant figure binding a wide array of grassroots movements and organizations. Yet, the MAS has remained permeable to popular input in areas where civil society is strong and has mechanisms to arrive at collective decisions. In the last general elections in 2009, grassroots influence was consequential: it led to the massive entrance of individuals and members of allied grassroots organizations into the highest level of political representation. Their participation in Congress (the Plurinational Legislative Assembly) has pushed to diversify the legislative agenda still largely subordinated to the executive. New MAS leaders willing or able to challenge Morales's leadership have not emerged but, as the candidacies for the upcoming elections are defined, the strong regional dynamics could alter the composition of the new parliamentary group. Whether the MAS will remain open, and whether it will manage to outgrow its dominant leader figure, will depend on the continuing strength of allied groups in civil society.

Will Bolivia's Half Moon Rise Again?
In early 2014 Bolivian President Evo Morales's main nemesis, the Media Luna (or Half Moon), composing the eastern departments of Tarija, Pando, and Beni, and led by the economically powerful department of Santa Cruz, has all but vanished politically. Morales is a prohibitive favorite to win a third term, while the opposition Social Democratic Movement built on the vestiges of the Media Luna is not a serious electoral contender. In 2008 this seemed highly improbable. Evo Morales was in a battle for control of Bolivia's future. The Media Luna was in open revolt. The conflict had begun with Morales's election in 2005 and was exacerbated by the acrimonious constituent assembly of 2006-2007. It came to a head over the MAS government's intention to nationalize the country's natural gas industry and use royalties from Tarija's vast reserves to fund a new national pension plan. The Media Luna wanted greater regional autonomy and control over revenues. Its August 2008 revolt, which raged for several months, included a region-wide strike, widespread road blocks, takeover of natural gas facilities, government offices, and airports, and violent skirmishes between youth brigades and the police and army, culminating in the killing or wounding of dozens of pro-MAS indigenous marchers in Pando.
Then what happened? The Media Luna, led by elites who had dominated Bolivia's economic and political fortunes at least up through the second Banzer regime (1997-2001), discovered the limits of its diminishing influence. Throughout the conflict in 2008, Morales maintained control of the machinery of state, including the police and the military, while opposition leaders lacked a political party, critical presence in government, or the international leverage to oust the MAS government. Nor did they have a clear agenda beyond opposition to Morales. Their at times racist attacks fueled national outrage, mobilized defenders of the government, and elicited international condemnation. Accused of conspiring with the Media Luna, the U.S. ambassador was expelled. Media Luna overtures to the OAS were rejected. Most tellingly, UNASUR issued an unequivocal statement supporting Morales's "constitutional government" and comparing Media Luna tactics to the ousting of Chilean President Salvador Allende in 1973.
Morales's 67% victory total in the 2008 recall vote, convened as a concession to the opposition, hastened its fragmentation. Moreover, the MAS has made steady electoral inroads in the East, in part capitalizing upon a demographic shift. Santa Cruz is now far from "wealthy and white," and the MAS enjoys sizable support among indigenous groups, highland in-migrants, urban and rural poor, and small business owners. Support for the MAS led to popular rejection of autonomy initiatives in these departments. The MAS has also successfully recruited candidates among former elite enemies, a strategy of cooptation that has enabled it to gain six of nine governorships (including in Pando). Even in the once reactionary bastion of Santa Cruz, the MAS won nine of fifteen provinces in the most recent elections. At the same time, the MAS has promoted its model of state capitalism with the private sector, promising to respect private property, and pledging economic development, even as it has begun to expropriate the agricultural holdings of many lowland opposition leaders.
What seemed an existential threat to Morales and the MAS in 2008 has been reduced to a disjointed cadre of right-wing ideologues in 2014. The fate of the Media Luna is a lesson about the sometimes rapidly changing political and economic circumstances around elites in Bolivia and Latin America. The MAS firmly controls the Bolivian state and enjoys broadly distributed electoral support. Despite occasional tensions, neighboring states have also backed the Morales administration. With major agribusiness and hydrocarbons investments in Bolivia, Brazil energetically pressured Media Luna leaders to negotiate with the MAS government. Internationally isolated, lacking a credible electoral instrument, with less economic clout than in the past, Media Luna elites also have lost their historical monopoly brokering access to the global economy. Perhaps hardest to recapture: they no longer appear able to offer a compelling national project or vision for the future.

Ben Kohl: The Loss of a Scholar-Activist who Taught About Bolivia
By Eric Hershberg
This AULA blog post does not follow our standard format, but it is one that I hope will motivate readers to seek out some singularly insightful analyses of contemporary Bolivia.
Los marchistas del TIPNIS llegan a La Paz (19/10/2011) Photo credit: Szymon Kochanski / Foter / CC BY-NC-ND
I was terribly distressed to learn that Temple University Professor Ben Kohl, a noted expert on Bolivia, passed away suddenly in late July, at the age of 59. I had the privilege of meeting Ben briefly on two occasions, on both of which he struck me as charming and intellectually lively. But I already knew of Kohl through his writings, which had taught me, and many of my students, a great deal about how and why Bolivian politics and society have evolved in such remarkable ways in recent years. Faculty, students and non-academic audiences in Washington and beyond would be well served by surveying his writings, in part because of how effectively they make sense of a country with which the U.S. government has often related unproductively.
Most of Kohl's work was co-authored with his journalist wife, Linda Farthing (he also collaborated with my CLALS colleague Rob Albro on a fine collection of articles on Bolivia that was published by Latin American Perspectives). Among their prolific writings on Bolivia, two books stand out as especially significant. Impasse in Bolivia and From the Mines to the Streets: an Activist's Life in Bolivia established Kohl and Farthing as pivotal voices in shaping understanding of that Andean country's politics and society. Their work is unusual in the effectiveness with which it speaks simultaneously to advanced scholarly readers and to students and people in advocacy and policy circles who are engaged sympathetically with that country's remarkable social movements and transformations.
What stands out for me about Impasse, aside from its deep and nuanced understanding of the fault lines dividing Bolivian society, is that it successfully blends attention to social dynamics and political mobilization at the micro-level with an appreciation for how those phenomena interact and reflect larger scale, deeply embedded social structures. Written on the eve of Evo Morales' rise to the Presidency, in the wake of several years of social and political "impasse," the study combines ethnographic insight with sophisticated interpretation of macro-level historical and sociological processes. Impasse in particular highlights how and why Bolivia took a decisively "indigenous turn" in its national politics beginning around 2000, and ably portrays the resistance that this elicited from long dominant elites. The book was an especially novel and eloquent contribution to the literature on Bolivia at a crucial juncture in the country's history, a juncture that ushered in fundamental changes in the political system.
Mines, like Impasse, was written for more than a strictly scholarly audience, but it is a very different sort of monograph. The autobiographical story told to Kohl and Farthing by labor activist Félix Muruchi Poma, and very intelligently framed for a foreign audience, brings to life aspects of contemporary Bolivia (and other parts of Latin America) that are rarely presented in such a compelling and readable form. As noted in the brief bibliographic note at the conclusion of the book, several previous books provide historical accounts of issues and events covered in Muruchi's story, but none of the English language literature does so in this "testimonial" genre. That genre is difficult to pull off well, as Kohl acknowledged in an insightful article for the Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, but this work is up to the task, and points to the activist side of Kohl and Farthing's scholarship. One is reminded, inevitably, of the classic I, Rigoberta Menchu, which focused on the life and politicization of an indigenous Guatemalan woman during a period that overlaps in part with that covered by Muruchi's chronicle. The many university faculty who assign the Menchu book for introductory Latin American Studies courses would do well to consider assigning this one alongside of it.
A number of Kohl's recent articles and book chapters were aimed more strictly at scholarly audiences than were either Impasse or Mines. A 2012 essay published in Political Geography is the most insightful analysis I have encountered of the contradictions between what Kohl and Farthing label "resource nationalist imaginaries," articulated in practice by strong social movements in Bolivia and more disparate actors in neighboring countries, and the circumstances of economies that remain as dependent as ever on revenues derived from natural resources. The study's use of the theoretical concepts of "imaginaries" and "framing" strikes me as an especially valuable lens through which to understand the roots of social movement resistance to an economic model that has persisted despite the rise to power of Bolivia's first indigenous President. Re-reading that piece as I was drafting this blog post, I am reminded of how Kohl's passing is a great loss to those of us for whom innovative scholarship motivated by concerns about fairness and justice in Latin America is to be treasured, not unlike tin or gas or water for many Bolivians, as a precious commodity.

High Time for a U.S.-Bolivia Reset
By Rob Albro, CLALS Faculty Affiliate
President Evo Morales in a climate meeting at the University of Oslo | by Utenriksdept | Flickr | Creative Commons
Little has changed in the U.S-Bolivia relationship since each expelled the other's ambassador and suspended full diplomatic ties in 2008. Last month a Bolivian official accused the United States of trying to sabotage the administration of President Evo Morales, and Morales has not dropped his pugnacious anti-U.S. rhetoric. Washington, for its part, has persistently criticized Bolivian anti-drug policies, while not acknowledging the failures of its own decades-long "war on drugs." As discussions surrounding Secretary of State Kerry's January 24 confirmation hearing suggested, U.S. policy toward several Latin American countries – including Bolivia – is still on Cold War autopilot, continuing to use code-words like "socialism," implicitly and incorrectly viewing the recent and historic changes in that country largely through the prisms of Venezuela and Cuba.
Along with many observers outside of Washington, the Bolivian government understands itself to be addressing long-standing demands to correct a historical lack of social inclusion, to institute a more participatory (and "plurinational") democratic process, and to pursue economic sovereignty. In notable contrast to Venezuela, with which Bolivia is often lumped together, the country's long-marginalized indigenous majority is in the national political driver's seat for the first time. Despite Morales's rhetoric to the contrary, Bolivia is far from rejecting the free market. It recently applied for full participation in MERCOSUR, and has welcomed foreign investment in its sizable petroleum and lithium deposits. Along with Peru and Ecuador, Bolivia has also sought ways to maintain economic growth while protecting the environment and avoiding unsustainable extractivist policies. Bolivia's is a hybrid approach: mixing an alternative democratic tradition domestically with the promotion of Bolivia Inc. globally.
It is past time for Washington to move on from its one-size-fits-all approach toward Andean countries, and to take more seriously the perspectives and priorities of their peoples and governments. And Bolivia's recent history provides ample opportunity for the U.S. to identify common – if not identical – ground. Morales's frequent statement that Bolivia is looking for "partners, not bosses" echoes President Obama's own 2009 speech about "partnership" in our hemispheric "neighborhood." Obama's recent inaugural call for more effective "collective action" resonates with the spirit of Bolivia's ongoing plurinational democratic experiment. And if climate change is back on the U.S. political agenda, Bolivia continues to be a global catalyst for this important multilateral discussion. Emphasizing these shared problems, experiences, and aspirations, can provide a foundation for closer relations.

Q: How to request email scope from AAD using Microsoft.Identity.Web I am trying to do something that I know how to do in .NET Framework in .NET Core but am missing a simple configuration step.
.NET Framework:
app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
{
Scope = OpenIdConnectScope.OpenIdProfile + " " + OpenIdConnectScope.Email,
....

In .NET Core I am using Microsoft.Identity.Web and haven't been able to find the place to set scopes before the Azure Active Directory login request is sent. If I manually edit the URL when the login page occurs, I am able to get the email claim back by adding email to the scope in the URL query string.
This is the Startup.cs code in the new app that I think is where I need to add scope:
            services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
                .AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(Configuration.GetSection("AzureAd"));

As a guess, I tried adding "Scopes" to my appsettings here:
  "AzureAd": {
    "Instance": [...]
    "Scopes": "openid profile email"
  },

But that doesn't seem to be attached to anything.
What worked after reading kavyasaraboju-MT's helpful answer:
services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(Configuration.GetSection("AzureAd"));
services.Configure<OpenIdConnectOptions>(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, options =>
{
    options.Scope.Add("email");
});

A: Please check if below references can help.
In Startup Config (adding email scope)
services.AddAuthentication(AzureADDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
    .AddAzureAD(options => Configuration.Bind("AzureAd", options));

services.Configure<OpenIdConnectOptions>(AzureADDefaults.OpenIdScheme, options =>
{
    options.Authority += "/v2.0/";
    ..
//we can add scopes this way
options.Scope.Add("openid");
     options.Scope.Add("profile");
     options.Scope.Add("email");
//
…
}

In manifest we can add optional claims (for access token or id token )
"optionalClaims": {
        "idToken": [],
        "accessToken": [
            {
                "name": "email",
                "source": null,
                "essential": false,
                "additionalProperties": []
            } ],

Give app permissions for email ,profile and openid access in portal and grant consent.
And make sure the signin request has required scopes

&response_type=id_token &scope=openid%20profile%20email

Please refer these

Some good news this week from Canada's central bank – the risk of economic implosion in our nation is now the lowest it has been since 2011. The Bank of Canada released their December Financial System Review this Tuesday, cutting our perceived exposure rating from "high" to "elevated".
Such a status may not seem all that reassuring – but it is a sign that economic conditions are looking sunnier than they did in June, when the last Review was released.
The semi-annual report, which compiles the Bank's efforts to identify and mitigate key risks, states improvements are due to a stabilizing global economy – Europe has taken tentative steps toward recovery, and new global system regulation means the chance of another financial crisis is shrinking.
However, this silver lining comes with a stark reality – global economic improvement is akin to a house of cards – it's new, fragile and could collapse should there be unforesen economic shock. Here are the biggest risk factors identified by the Bank, and how they've changed since the last economic check in.
The financially embattled Eurozone has been through the wringer since the 2008 financial crisis. Employment has been anemic, banks have been unstable (Cyprus bank account freezes come to mind), and there has been political and social backlash to the austerity measures implemented to help the situation.
European instability causes an "adverse feedback loop" in the global banking sector, affecting trade and liquidity between nations. And the damage has been done – European banks are still in recovery mode and governements – not to mention citizens – are suffering from reform fatigue.
The level of investor trust in some nations has also been deeply undermined – the report points out that yields for Spanish and Italian bonds remain very high, as they have increased their loan-loss provisioning.
But it's not all doom and gloom for our European neighbours. Euro-area GDP is improving, and the balance sheets of most major banks there are strengthening, and public debt levels being reduced to more sustainable levels. This has led the Governing Council to reduce Euro-area risk from "very high" to "high".
Some of the biggest threats to the Canadian economy are self inflicted – Canada continues to experience high household debt levels, and a scorching housing market fueled by low interest rates. Despite measures taken over the past four years to curb mortgage borrowing, sales remain persistently strong, and prices remain too hot to handle in some markets – and it's only gotten worse since the June report. With Canadians continuing to pile on the debt, the Bank warns this leaves us all exposed to big economic shock – especially if interest rates were to rise dramatically.
The report signals out the condo market in Toronto – demand there has lagged, yet mid-construction levels continue to contribute to oversupply. The warning is that if demand does not pick up, the market will experience price and value corrections.
Everyone loves a great deal – so it's only natural that borrowers are clamouring for mortgages, loans and credit while interest rates are at such record lows. The Bank of Canada has kept their benchmark Overnight Lending Rate at an artificial one per cent since September 2010 in efforts to encourage consumer spending and support the post-recession economy. But such efforts are a double-edged sword – such low rates have been a main contributor to be aforementioned consumer debt levels.
Should there be a sharp increase in long term rates, it could cause massive disruption across financial markets and create losses for investors. The hoopla surrounding the U.S Fed's "will they or won't they" taper drama is a perfect example of how the fear of higher rates drives the market haywire.
Risk to Canada: Investor fallout could have global implications once rates do start to rise, especially if markets panic – dumped bonds will in turn push fixed rates in Canada higher, resulting in an even higher cost of borrowing.
Some of these countries are highly dependent on external market-based financing – a shock in the form of rising interest rates could have deep consequences for them. Others are experiencing banking growing pains as they've boomed too quickly for efficient regulation to keep up.
Risk to Canada: The danger posed here is mainly through trade with these countries, which could further hurt our exporting industry – an already floundering economic driver, the poor performance of which has contributed to our own nation's slow GDP growth.

The lost REDD decade. Highlighted by counterfactual baseline nonsense in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Posted on 16 January 2019 2 September 2019
"The technology is well known and has been available for thousands of years. Everybody knows how not to cut down a tree." That spectacularly naive comment came from Norway's then-prime minister Jens Stoltenberg in December 2007 at the launch of Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI).
To be fair on Stoltenberg, he wasn't the only one exaggerating how easy stopping deforestation would be in the brave new world of REDD.
A year earlier, Nicholas Stern, author of the Stern Review, claimed that,
Curbing deforestation is a highly cost-effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and has the potential to offer significant reductions fairly quickly.
In contrast to this more-than-a-decade-old optimism, a recent article by Jutta Kill, published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, describes REDD as "A lost decade for international forest conservation". Instead of reducing emissions quickly and cheaply, global emissions and deforestation have both increased in the past 11 years.
Private sector funding for REDD?
Kill notes that one of REDD proponents' central arguments is that the funding for REDD will have to come from the private sector. The public sector simply does not have sufficient funds to stop deforestation.
The argument that private sector money is needed to address climate change is a common justification for carbon trading. Maurice Strong was a Canadian oil businessman, who was also the first head of the UN Environment Programme, and Secretary General of the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development in Rio. In 2000, in his autobiography "Where on Earth are we going?", Strong wrote that,
[T]hough governments must establish the policy and regulatory frameworks for emissions trading, the prime actors in developing and applying the agreements will be private-sector companies, financial institutions and individuals, and most of the capital involved will be private. This is particularly important as foreign aid is now in decline and private investment accounts for the principal flows of financial resources to developing countries.
Of course Strong couldn't possibly know that the price of Clean Development Mechanism carbon credits would collapse in 2011-2012 and remain flatlined at nearly zero since then:
But Strong should have known that carbon trading would have no impact whatsoever on the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Decades of carbon trading and more than 25 years of UN climate negotiations have made no difference to the steady increase in CO2 since 1960:
The private sector was supposed to get involved in financing REDD either by buying REDD carbon credits, or by investing in REDD projects.
Kill points out that the expected private sector funding of REDD has "not yet materialised". Since the beginning of REDD, about 90% of the funding has come from public sources (and the most generous government is Norway – REDD's major donor is using rainforests to greenwash its oil industry).
Jurisdictional REDD – back to the public sector?
Kill writes that the initial focus of REDD was on individual projects that were run either by the private sector or international conservation organisations such as The Nature Conservancy or Conservation International. This focus has shifted over the years to jurisdictional REDD, aimed at federal states, provinces, or countries.
Kill notes that,
[T]he focus on administrative units such as states or provinces inevitably shifts the emphasis of REDD+ from private to public actors: State institutions play a key role in jurisdictional REDD+ programs, while REDD+ projects initiated by private actors are integrated into such state programs. The more private sector REDD+ projects exist in a given area prior to the development of such jurisdictional REDD+ programs, the trickier this integration.
The shambles of the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo illustrates these problems.
On 21 September 2018, the World Bank and DRC signed an Emission Reductions Payment Agreement, under which the Carbon Fund agrees to buy 11 million Emission Reductions (carbon credits) from the Mai Ndombe REDD programme. Each carbon credit will cost US$5, giving a total of US$55 million.
The agreement was signed – in violation of the Bank's own rules, as Kill points out – before a benefit sharing plan was finalised. To make matters worse, the DRC government's action plan "focuses on smallholder agriculture in particular and does not address causes of large-scale deforestation such as industrial logging", Kill writes.
The Environmental Investigation Agency pointed out the failure to address industrial logging in its 2016 comments on DRC's Emissions Reduction Programme. Needless to say, neither the FCPF nor the DRC government took any notice of these comments.
Fictional REDD baselines
Since 2011, a US company called Wildlife Works Carbon has been running a REDD project on part of the FCPF Mai Ndombe programme area. The Wildlife Works Carbon project will be absorbed into the FCPF Mai Ndombe REDD programme.
In 2016, a paper published in the International Forestry Review questioned the baseline for Wildlife Works' project, arguing that "the baseline scenarios in REDD+ projects amount to untestable guesses".
In the Project Appraisal Document for the Mai-Ndombe REDD programme, the World Bank confirms that Wildlife Works overestimated the rate of deforestation in the absence of its project:
an existing legacy project – the Wildlife Works Carbon (WWC) Mai Ndombe conservation concession – was validated with a project baseline methodology prior to the jurisdiction determining its own baseline under the fully-fledged ER Program. To be integrated and rewarded for performance over the ERPA period (2018-2024) the WWC project was required to reduce its baseline by 33%.
The World Bank does not explain how it determined that Wildlife Works had over-estimated its baseline by 33%. Or whether 33% of the carbon credits that Wildlife Works sold since 2011 are no longer valid (which would presumably mean that Wildlife Works would have to buy these imaginary credits back from the companies that bought them).
But this isn't a problem with a specific baseline, or an argument about whether REDD is additional or note, because as Larry Lohmann, writer and activist with the UK-based Corner House, points out, such arguments are nonsensical.
As Larry Lohmann writes,
the problem is not "bad baselines" but the concept of counterfactual baselines itself. That reality does more than invalidate any particular REDD project. It invalidates REDD (and all other offsets) as a whole.
"FSC certification is not a guarantee that a forest is carbon neutral, and people should not use it to claim that."
— Alison Kriscenski, Marketing and Communications Director, FSC International Center GmbH, August 2009

ADHRB open letter to Prince Charles ahead of Bahrain visit
Posted on November 3, 2016 November 4, 2016 by ADHRB Admin
On 1 November 2016, Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) sent a letter to Prince Charles regarding his upcoming official country visit to Bahrain. The text of the letter is as follows:
Your Royal Highness,
In November, you will be taking part in an official country visit to the Kingdom of Bahrain for a commemoration recognizing the 200th anniversary of the first formal agreements between the United Kingdom and Bahrain. Given the heightened human rights crisis in the kingdom, Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) calls on you to underscore the need for meaningful human rights reforms in the kingdom during your upcoming trip. We believe your visit represents an opportunity to engage in pointed dialogue with Bahraini officials to advance international standards of human rights.
In 2011, the Government of Bahrain enacted a violent repression of a popular pro-democratic movement that called for governmental reforms that would guarantee citizens basic rights. In response to the peaceful call for reform, the government violently shut down the movement and imprisoned thousands for their activism. Since that time, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has promised to implement reforms that would institutionalize human rights in the country. Yet since 2011, the Bahraini government has only moved to institutionalize additional means of repression and abuse.
Over the past several months, the government has increasingly restricted both civil society and political space in the country. This summer saw the arrest of human rights defender and Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) president Nabeel Rajab. The Government of Bahrain has repeatedly targeted Rajab, subjecting him to numerous stints in prison on charges related to his work on human rights and freedom of expression. Most recently, Bahraini authorities arrested and charged Rajab for posts on social media. Rajab could face up to 15 years in prison for tweets.
That same month, the Bahraini government dissolved the largest political opposition society in the country, al-Wefaq. Prior to the dissolution of the political society, the Bahraini government arrested the Secretary-General of al-Wefaq Sheikh Ali Salman in December 2015. The closure of the leading opposition society represents an unprecedented move to close off peaceful public avenues for Bahrainis to address their grievances and participate in the democratic process. Since the closure of al-Wefaq, Bahraini allies have noted that the closure was "not consistent with a commitment to… pursuing unfulfilled reforms" and urged the Government of Bahrain to allow for the society to operate freely.
The practices of arbitrary arrests, detentions, and denaturalizations have also expanded over the past year and a half. The Government of Bahrain has targeted a number of independent journalists and online activists, effectively silencing free press in the country. Additionally, authorities continue to arrest people for their online social media use. These individuals are often detained in the same prisons with those who have committed violent criminal offenses, while their trials are repeatedly delayed, unduly extending individuals' pre-trial detention before facing a final verdict. Additionally, the government has denaturalized more than 350 individuals, many of whom are human rights activists, academics, journalists, political opposition figures or Shia religious clerics.
Human rights organizations have found that the widespread and systematic use of torture in the country continues with impunity, despite promises from Bahraini authorities to institute reforms. ADHRB and BCHR have documented more than 350 cases where Bahraini authorities have tortured individuals since 2013. When victims of torture attempt to file a formal complaint with government institutions, they have been subject to reprisal and, in some cases, further torture. If torture has been used to extract a coerced confession and the victim attempts to address the abuse in court, judges will often refuse to recognize the complaint and threaten to send the victim back to their cell. Since 2011, the UN Special Rapporteur on torture has requested a visit to the country to investigate the authorities' practice of torture; the government has yet to allow him into the country.
Your trip to Bahrain presents an opportunity for you to leverage the United Kingdom's historical alliance with the gulf kingdom and encourage a key regional partner to address its heightening human rights crisis. When meeting with authorities, we urge you to call for the release of human rights defender Nabeel Rajab and all prisoners of conscience in Bahrain. Additionally, we ask that you underscore the importance of political pluralism in Bahrain, and press the government to restore suspended political associations, like Al-Wefaq. It is our sincere hope that with the support and encouragement of its close allies, Bahrain will chose to abandon their path towards deepening repression in favor of universal human rights.

The Columbian Iron hand press with its majestic eagle or a Washington press with medallions of Franklin and Washington, are so striking. They provoke discussion and marvel at what over 100-year old technology created.
The industry of the 1800's was in the throes of constant change and aggressive salesmanship. This resulted in some stunning designs and embellishments not found in any other industrial sector. For it was the art of printing that stimulated design and freedom of expression. Those that operated the machinery were a combination of mechanic, machinist designer and laborer.
HIW has made a select group of Iron Presses available to be offered for lease. These machines are fully restored and detailed to the finest level. Coats of arms, gilding, metal refinishing are included. As displays for libraries, reception areas, and atriums, HIW's century-old machinery can be configured to suit most any area.
