I reckon there is no political observer who expected much from the Geneva 3 talks on Syria. In fact, a senior western diplomat was frank when he expressed his doubts about chances of success as the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) took its difficult decision to send its delegation for talks with the U.N.'s Syria envoy, Staffan de Mistura, along with calls to implement international pledges regarding humanitarian issues. The HNC, which was formed by the Riyadh conference and brought together the broadest representation of Syrian opposition groups, was under immense pressure to attend Geneva 3.
This pressure was international as de Mistura threatened the HNC with a fait accompli conference, Washington threatened it would cut off aid if HNC did not attend. Russia's case was even more curious as it is now at war with the Syrian people. The astonishing thing is that while Russia acts as a full political and military "partner" of the Assad regime, it still insists on being an authority eligible of picking and choosing delegates of Assad's "opposition".
If we review the overall efforts made to stop the war in Syria since the summer of 2011, when Bashar Assad decided to crush the popular uprising by force, we find two movements moving simultaneously in opposite directions:
There has been a gradual decline in the cohesion of the group of countries that stood by the Syrian uprising as the U.S. and Iran were finalizing the JCPOA (i.e. the Iran nuclear deal).
As it became clear to Assad regime that it would not survive if left to its own devices, all the hidden links kept in reserve for a rainy day, its implicit alliances and subsequently its strategic role in the Middle East were all uncovered.
The countries that initially sided with the Syrian uprising joined hands under what was called the "Friends of Syria" and met in February 2012 in the absence of Russia, China and Iran. The aid provided by the Western powers claiming the "friendship" of the Syrian people, however, fell short of what the Syrian opposition was asking for, namely, safe havens, no-fly zones, and advanced and effective defensive weapons capable of neutralizing and deterring Assad's air force.
In June 2012 a meeting was held in Geneva, this time attended by Russia and China. This meeting set in motion a "transitional" process leading to a "Syria without Assad". However, Russia supported by China adopted the regime's demands that the priority should be "fighting terrorism", meaning the opposition. At this point there was a clear difference of interpretation of the Geneva (now known as Geneva 1) principles.
Letting down the Syrian uprising by 2015 led to the proliferation of extremist groups against a marked erosion of frustrated and desperate moderates
The Western "Friends of Syria" continued to refuse providing any qualitative military aid to the opposition, especially, the "Free Syrian Army" as ISIS was gaining ground in many parts of Syria, virtually, unopposed and unhindered by the regime's army. Indeed, the regime intentionally exploited the advances of ISIS against the FSA, making common cause with it as spelt out candidly by a Syrian intelligence Lebanese functionary.
The rapprochement
By 2013 the U.S.–Iran rapprochement was rapidly becoming a reality, more so after reports of secret negotiations in Muscat surfaced, and Hassan Rowhani won Iran's presidential elections in June 2013. Almost immediately thereafter, Washington described his win as a victory for "moderation" and "rationalism" that deserved a positive response.
Within few months, as soon as Assad realized that White House's threatening "red lines" were non-existent, it used chemical weapons in Greater Damascus while doing nothing about ISIS taking over the city of Raqqah, which became Syria's first provincial capital to fall to the extremist terrorist organization. Washington, in turn, did nothing about the chemical attack and expressed its satisfaction over Assad handing over his chemical "arsenal".
In January 2014 Geneva 2 ended without any positive results. Moscow stood firm while Washington, not only retreated from its initial stance, but moved even closer to the Russian interpretation of what was going on in Syria. Then, in early March 2014, President Barack Obama sent a clear message "to whom it may concern" in an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg. He insinuated that he regarded Iran as a trustworthy ally in the Middle East along with Israel.
Subsequently, Washington rhetoric against Assad was getting fainter, concentrating its argument on the fact that "he has lost his legitimacy" as Raqqah became the declared "capital" of ISIS in the heart of Syria. Both in and outside Syria, letting down the Syrian uprising by 2015 led to the proliferation of extremist groups against a marked erosion of frustrated and desperate moderates, some of whom began bit by bit to leave the political and military scene.
Yet, despite this, and the active backing of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and its militias, the regime failed to gain the upper hand on the ground. Given the above stalemate, against the background of massacres, human suffering, threats to a number of the regime's heartlands, and the West's move to consider fighting ISIS as the priority in Syria, Russia joined the war in October 2015 under the pretext of attacking ISIS.
One month after the Russian intervention, which concentrated its bombardment on FSA positions and "moderate" opposition groups, representatives of 17 countries, including Iran, met in Vienna. Representatives of the regime and the opposition were, however, not present.
The meeting ended with agreement on a ceasefire and a "framework for political transition", but not the future of Assad. Consequently, last December, the U.N. Security Council unanimously agreed to a "road map" that begins with negotiations between the Syrian regime and the opposition to broker a ceasefire, forming a "transitional government" within six months and conducting elections within 18 months, again saying nothing about Assad's role.
But in the light of developing agreements between Washington and Moscow, and the changes on the ground brought about by the Russian military campaign, some recent reports have suggested that Washington and Tehran have agreed that Assad remains in office until 2022!
What should we expect now? It is obvious that the Syrian opposition has no option but to continue its steadfastness, regardless of how huge the disappointment is. Steadfastness without illusions! The Syrian opposition is aware that its "adversary" is also the "referee", and thus must not give it new excuses to continue betraying it.

With the suspension of the Geneva talks, the Vienna roadmap forward looks both uncertain and unrealistic. U.N. special envoy Stefan de Mistura's job has never been enviable or easy with the number of competing internal and external actors at play. However, the suspension of talks in Geneva underscores that no one came to these talks ready to engage in a substantive dialog, in particular, President Assad and his allies, Russia and Iran.
As the parties settled into Geneva without yet starting the formal indirect U.N.-mediated talks, Moscow and Tehran-backed ground and air campaign surged onwards. In a sign of bad faith, the Syrian military, with Russian and Iranian assistance, escalated their efforts to advance on Aleppo and cut off the opposition's main supply line from Turkey.
They have rejected the High Negotiating Committee (HNC)'s conditions for the talks, which is implementation of two articles in December's U.N. Security Council Resolution 2254. These two articles call on all parties to stop bombarding civilians and medical facilities, to release detainees, and to allow humanitarian access to besieged areas.
It's not surprising then that Russia and Iran have shown no deep interest in sticking to the Vienna road map
Assad has only paid lip service to this demand so far, allowing the Red Crescent to provide aid to the city of Al-Tal, north of Damascus. Under the watchful gaze of its international backers, Damascus has consciously pursued medieval-era tactics to go so far as to literally try to starve his opponents to surrender.
Equally, Russia, Iran, and Damascus are continuing to contest the composition of the Syrian opposition negotiating teams and the Syrian government team has rejected beginning talks until the list of opposition participants is provided to them. For example, Jaish al-Islam and Ahrar al-Sham, two designated terrorist groups by Russia, arrived Monday to participate in the peace talks. Moscow noted they can participate in the talks but this does not legitimize them.
Chaos at Geneva
The time now for a settlement on any terms other than President Assad and his patrons isn't right. Assad, with clear backing from President Putin and Ayatollah Khomeini, is doggedly drawing out these negotiations as long as possible to ensure that his and his allies forces can consolidate control over the critical regime-held areas of the state and suitably create a sizeable buffer between regime areas and opposition-held areas.
It's not surprising then that Russia and Iran have shown no deep interest in sticking to the Vienna road map. For Moscow, it buys more time for President Putin to both advance his regional and global interests and at the same time, give the appearance that Moscow is actually interested in playing a constructive role. For Tehran, with the advances in Syria, the only concessions to be made in these talks are the ones that advance their interests not limit them. While President Rowhani wants a settlement, peace in Syria will not be at the expense of Tehran's strategic interests.
As the regime further gains on the battlefield, the HNC and the broader opposition arrived in Geneva in a disadvantaged position. Deeply fractured by differences, these groups have never effectively coalesced around a common negotiating position, beyond Assad must leave office. Equally, concerning, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) has indicated no deep commitment to a territorially integrated Syrian state. Beyond these groups, ISIS continues to seek to carve out a hold over Syrian and Iraqi territory, despite recent setbacks.
The HNC's refusal to begin talks until the regime makes the humanitarian concessions is a substantial roadblock to overcome. Understandably, as the opposition loses further ground, the HNC has very little to show to its constituents on the ground that such negotiations are credible.
It was irresponsible for De Mistura to try to hold these talks with those conditions not credibly met. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in an effort to push forward on these talks, misjudged that the opposition could be pushed to the table to talk with no conditions. Moscow and Tehran's latest offensive on Aleppo underscores that despite Kerry's close rapport with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif, they don't negotiate with him in good faith.
Fractured Syria
The road to peace through Vienna and Geneva looks long and dim. A national ceasefire, which was supposed to occur as these talks began, is a fantasy. With the opposition reasonably never likely to agree on the terms that Iran, Russia, and President Assad would like, these talks, if they don't collapse, will outlast President Obama. They also will likely outlast the viability of a territorially and politically integrated Syrian state.
Moscow and Tehran's ultimate prize is Assad remaining President of Syria. Their consolation and guarantee is political influence and control for the foreseeable future in regime held areas with or without Assad. For the Syrian opposition, a united Syrian polity is gone. The PYD will unlikely ever cede any of their political gains. More broadly, for the U.S. and its allies, the fracturing of Syria will be a long-term challenge well past a political settlement.

Three global watchdog reports came out last week highlighting Afghanistan's scornful predicament in 2015. Their findings reveal a rise in corruption and human rights violations and a consistent failure in political freedom and civil liberties.
Transparency International's annual Corruption Perception Index placed Afghanistan at 166th among 168 nations. World Report 2015, published by Human Rights Watch, criticised the war-ravaged country for failure to effectively tackle abuses in key areas. Freedom House's annual Freedom in the World 2016 Report ranked Afghanistan among countries that are "Not Free".
While it is true that the Afghan government and its international supporters must be alarmed by these findings, rankings and scores in such global annual reports must be contextualised if they are to inform policy.
In the case of Afghanistan, these scorecards only describe symptoms of more fundamental problems.
The ongoing conflict that expanded and became more brutal in 2015 has contributed greatly to the bleak human rights situation as well as to the shrinking of civil liberties and political freedoms in restive areas.
Another factor, which is often omitted from such reports, is the heavy hand of the international community, especially the United States, in shaping events in Afghanistan from 2001 onwards.
But above all, endemic corruption, continued rights violations and restricted civil liberties are symptoms of weakness in the implementation of the rule of law.
From denying information to journalists to beating of traffic police to the impossibility of winning a contract in a tender process sans association with influential people, liberties, rights and transparency are impeded because rule of law has hitherto been ignored.
Afghanistan's political and social culture was deeply rooted in the concept of justice. In fact, the concept of 'just ruler' is a cornerstone of Islamic theories of governance...
Rule of law is generally defined as the system that renders governments, institutions and individuals accountable to and governed by laws and regulations and prevents arbitrary action. It has to be applied equally and without favouritism to any individual, group or power holder.
Afghanistan's political and social culture was deeply rooted in the concept of justice. In fact, the concept of "just ruler" is a cornerstone of Islamic theories of governance and arguably the most important legitimising factor of the state.
In the new political culture, living above the law has become one of the distinguishing privileges of the influential elite.
One must not underestimate the depth and breadth of the damage that three decades of conflict and lawlessness have inflicted on Afghanistan.
Added to that was the irresponsible behaviour of the international community and the Afghan political leadership since 2001, which squandered the opportunity to establish good governance and rule of law in the country.
Stability At All Cost
The US and its coalition partners went into Afghanistan in 2001, hand-picking some of the most unsavoury characters from the former mujahideen leaders and commanders as their allies.
The international community's Afghan policy was founded on maintenance of stability at all cost. Good governance, rule of law and justice were peripheral topics that only decorated official documents and speeches.
As foreign aid began to pour in, most contracts for infrastructure construction, military supplies, fuel, logistics and security were awarded to the same dubious personalities who, thanks to US patronage, had become the new political elite.
The US largesse to its Afghan allies also entailed turning a blind eye to illegal trade, monopoly of markets, land grabbing, million-dollar commissions on large contracts and even percentages from the lucrative narcotics business.
Political influence, along with millions of dollars into their bank accounts, empowered the new Afghan elite to command placement of their kin and cronies in key positions in all state institutions, including the parliament and the judiciary.
In other words, foreign assistance gave Afghanistan all the right structures and legal instruments required in a democratic system, but establishing and monitoring processes were mostly ignored.
The absence of political will, both on the part of former president Hamid Karzai's government and donor countries to curb corruption, not only prevented the establishment of lawful conduct in the public sector, but also impaired the flourishing of a genuine domestic economy.
US Taxpayer Money
Lack of oversight and accountability in the Afghan security sector, intentional or otherwise, has caused an utter waste of US taxpayer money. The US has been contributing billions of dollars to build and maintain Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANSDF).
Similar to the lucrative contracts of the earlier stages of war, allocation of funding for militia forces ... went to the same influential people...
Yet, the staggering scale of ghost personnel, fuel cost and disappearing ammunitions have gone entirely unchecked.
Along with the decision to end the US war in Afghanistan, Washington opted to create local militia forces to fill the gaps in the developing ANSDF.
Similar to the lucrative contracts of the earlier stages of war, allocation of funding for militia forces (under the sobriquet of Afghan Local Police) went to the same influential people, giving them further impetus to behave above the law.
President Ashraf Ghani and CEO Abdullah Abdullah took the reins of power over a year ago, assuring Afghans and international donors that they had the will to establish rule of law and good governance. Ghani further asserted that he has specific plans for accomplishing these colossal goals.
Among Ghani's first efforts are the creation of the National Procurements Commission to review big government contracts, the reopening of the messy Kabul Bank case, the firing of a number of central as well as provincial high officials suspected of corruption or incompetence, and improved communications with provincial officials.
Recently, the Afghan president elevated the role of governors in decision-making and monitoring of provincial affairs and started a process of budgetary devolution. In turn, he has placed more responsibility on his governors to curb local corruption.
In the past year, some progress has been made towards establishing effective processes, but earnest action against major instigators of corruption remains to be taken. To establish rule of law requires tackling the political elite and their well-entrenched patronage networks. This task, in turn, requires a full, honest and sustained partnership between the Afghan government and its international supporters.

The latest round of peace talks on Syria fell apart after only two days with the opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) rightly refusing to meet with representatives of Bashar al-Assad's disgraced regime without any prior guarantee of basic humanitarian relief on the ground. Meanwhile, Assad regime forces – backed by Russian airstrikes – staged a major offensive to retake Aleppo, forcing tens of thousands to flee to Turkey's border.
Any hope that the most recent opportunity for progress would be made in Geneva – if only just on the humanitarian front – has been shattered. In the immediate term, the international community needs to recommit to financially supporting U.N. efforts, as they continue to deal with influx of fleeing Syrians. In the longer term, the reality that the war cannot end without confronting Assad's crimes must be accepted.
Assad regime's failure to respond to a single one of these demands underscores its total lack of interest in alleviating the suffering
In the lead up to talks in Geneva, the HNC had made several basic demands, with humanitarian needs being prioritized over all other issues. Yet, talks remained on the brink of failure even before they began, with Russia attempting to dictate which parties were even allowed to be present. Meanwhile, brutal attacks targeting civilians continued unabated on the ground. The Assad regime's failure to respond to a single one of these demands underscores its total lack of interest in alleviating the suffering in any serious manner.
In an interview with Reuters, HNC chief coordinator Riad Hijab said that the whole world sees who is responsible for the failure of negotiations. "Who is bombing civilians and starving people to death." The world does see this, yet, Assad's killing of civilians with impunity for years has only emboldened his regime. With Russia's full backing allowing for gains on the ground, Assad may now be less inclined than ever before to make even the most modest of concessions.
Biggest Threat
That said, with as many as 70,000 Syrians fleeing an imminent siege of opposition-held areas in Aleppo, the inconvenient truth that the Assad regime and its backers remain the number one threat to the majority of Syrians has once again been made evident. Continually failing to address this fact will ensure indefinite bloodshed. In a potentially significant development, Saudi Arabia reportedly vowed it would deploy ground troops to Syria if requested to do so by the U.S.-led coalition.
While ground troops may ultimately be needed to deal a definitive blow to ISIS, without comprehensive plans in place for urgent medical evacuations and safe zones, Riyadh's involvement will also not alleviate Syria's suffering. The HNC's approach to talks with the regime – with immediate focus on dire humanitarian concerns – should be emulated by all parties concerned.
While Aleppo braces for what will be yet another brutal chapter in Syria's all too long war, the international community must escalate efforts to financially support the U.N.'s operations in Syria and neighbouring countries. The BBC reported that only 43 percent of the $2.9 billion pledged to the U.N. for Syria was actually funded. The report also indicated that the U.S. was the number one donor while one of the eight largest contributors was Kuwait.
In the most recent donor meeting, parties have vowed to contribute $10 billion in aid. They must deliver and states that have thus far failed to directly fund U.N. efforts must finally contribute. The bloodshed in Syria is likely to significantly worsen in the coming weeks and the international community must prepare for this eventuality.

Foreign officials dealing with Iran since the mullahs seized power have often wondered who is really in charge in Tehran. Chris Patten, a British politician who served as the European Union's foreign policy point man, once observed that Iranian officials he dealt with always turned out to be "actors playing the role of ministers."
The impression is that Iran has two governments: One that is presented to the outside world, and another that wields the real power. Last week that impression was reinforced when Ali Akbar Velayati, whose title is special foreign policy adviser to the "supreme guide," flew to Moscow on what he said was a "mission to start the Islamic Republic's new strategy," which was labelled as "Looking to the East."
Velayati's trip to Moscow was interesting for a number of reasons. To start with, it was timed to immediately follow President Hassan Rouhani's visits to Rome and Paris with the message that Tehran was seeking close ties with western democracies. Rouhani is also scheduled to visit Austria and Belgium later this month. In addition to this, Rouhani has missed no opportunity to send friendly signals to the Obama administration in Washington. He has praised the US president as "intelligent and perceptive" and claims to be in an epistolary relationship with him. Rouhani has noted that the world today is like a village in which America is the "headman." Thus it is important for Iran to foster good relations with the "headman."
In fact, political circles in Tehran have nicknamed Rouhani and his entourage as the "New York Boys," a faction of the Khomeinist regime that hopes to imitate Communist China under Deng Xiaoping by forging close ties with the US while maintaining the repressive one-party system at home. Their godfather has been and remains former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a wheeler-dealer who first established secret contacts with Washington in 1984, triggering the "Irangate" scandal under President Reagan.
Since then, successive US administrations have pursued what has so far turned out to be a chimera: Helping the "moderates" led by Rafsanjani to eliminate "hard-liners" led by Khamenei, closing the chapter of the revolution.
During the past 150 years, how to balance hostile foreign powers against one another has been a key preoccupation of Iranian leaders. In the heyday of European Imperialism, Iranian elites were divided between Anglophiles and Russophiles: A choice between "pest" and "cholera."
In the 1950s, as Britain faded and Russia re-emerged as the USSR, Iranian elites were divided between pro-Americans and pro-Soviets. Muhammad Mussadeq, who briefly served as prime minister, started as pro-American but ended up dreaming of what he called a "negative balance;" that is to say keeping both East and the West at an arm's length. To deceive the Mussadeqists, with whom he had a tactical alliance against the Shah, the late Khomeini launched his slogan of "Neither East nor West."
In practice, however, Khomeini regarded the US as the most dangerous enemy of his ideology and the Soviet Union as a far lesser threat. The reason was that, for many Iranians, America was attractive for cultural, scientific, economic and even political reasons while the USSR was unable to attract even Iranian Communists most of whom were Maoists, Trotskyites or Castrists.
Khomeini approved the attack on the US Embassy and the seizing of American hostages but vetoed similar moves against the Soviets.
Khamenei is aware of all that. This is why he decided to clip the wings of the "New York Boys" before it was too late. Last November, as the "New York Boys" were making a song and dance about their "nuke deal" with Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin flew to Tehran, went straight to Khamenei's palace and pointedly ignored Rouhani and Rafsanjani. It was after that meeting, described by Velayati as "epoch making," that Khamenei coined the phrase "Looking to the East."
Will Khamenei be able to contain the "New York Boys" in the context of a new anti-American axis with Russia? Tehran and Moscow share a number of objectives.
Both want to capitalize on the American retreat under Obama and make sure that the US doesn't return to the regional scene as the decisive power. In that context they want to keep Bashar Assad in place in Syria, albeit in a pocket of territory, for as long as possible. They also want to consolidate the influence that Iran, and to a lesser extent Russia, have gained in Iraq and Lebanon.
In Moscow on Monday, Velayati spoke of Russia and Iran as "guarantors of peace and stability" in a vaguely defined region stretching from Central Asia to North Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. The trouble is that Russia is deeply unpopular in Iran while there are few Russians who have lost any love for Tehran.
Finally, mere anti-Americanism is not enough for building a new global strategy for either Russia or Iran. Khamenei's "Looking East" is a failure even before it is translated into concrete policies.

Political tension between countries may leave its negative impact on their citizens, encouraging some to make unbecoming or racist statements against the other country and its people.
Intellectuals in every country should know that people in a country as a whole should not be blamed for the decision of its government or a group of politicians, especially when they are Arabs.
During the recent extraordinary meeting of the Arab League foreign ministers, Lebanon abstained from voting while expressing its solidarity with Saudi Arabia and condemning the Iranian aggression against the Kingdom's embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad.
Activists on social media then called for the deportation of all Lebanese nationals from Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries. They highlighted the generosity shown by Saudi Arabia toward the Lebanese by opening its doors for them to work and make money but they did not reciprocate by expressing solidarity with the Kingdom. It was followed by several racist statements against the Lebanese people.
Even though the Lebanese government was not right in taking this unexpected decision, I am sure that many Lebanese would not support that. So it is not fair to make such racist remarks against the Lebanese who live and work among us for the wrong decision of their government.
We will not be surprised if such unbecoming statements had come from ordinary people, even though it should not happen. But the most shameful thing is that such woeful statements also come from our intellectuals, who should have set a good example for others.
This is not the first time such statements come from intellectuals against some foreign nationals who live among us because of the political stand of their governments. As a result of this attitude, some people and countries accuse us of racism. It is a fact that when racist statements are made in the West against Saudis and other Muslims we will be the first to condemn them and we accuse the individuals behind them as racists and rightist extremists who hate Islam and Muslims. But when our own people make such racist comments against other nationals nobody seems to be bothered.
When American presidential hopeful Donald Trump called for barring Muslims from the US, everyone of us including our intellectuals made a big hue and cry about it and we described it as one of the worst racist statements.
Those who condemned Donald Trump for his remarks branding all Muslims as terrorists do not see any problem with those calling for the deportation of all Lebanese from the Kingdom for the wrong stand of their government.
Saudi people are well known for their generosity and hospitality. Saudi Arabia has been playing a leading role to strengthen Arab unity and solidarity. But these strange statements and demands would definitely weaken Arab unity and cause cracks in their ranks. This is what our enemies want.

Legally Weird
Are Prison Inmates the Best People to Solve Cold Cases?
By Christopher Coble, Esq. on February 08, 2016 12:57 PM
One normally doesn't think of the prison population as being especially helpful when it comes to fighting crime. But as one state Department of Corrections official said, "we've got 26,000 felons behind bars, and they know a lot."
So how do you figure out what they know? Here's an idea -- give inmates playing cards featuring cold cases, and then wait for the inmates to solve them.
A Captive Audience
Florida was one of the first states to implement the cold case cards in 2005, inspired by the decks the U.S. military was distributing to soldiers featuring the most wanted members of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi government. Gretl Plessinger, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement described the project as "kind of like interviewing 93,000 inmates for new leads."
The decks feature faces and names of murder victims, along with details regarding the case. Prison officials note that inmates spend a lot of time together, much of it spent rehashing old crimes and exploits. The hope is that the cards not only confirm the veracity of a fellow inmate's boast, but convince other inmates to come forward with information.
Cold Case Cost Cutting
And so far, it's worked. Florida law enforcement solved three murders in the program's first three months, and at least 17 other states, from Connecticut to Texas to Idaho, have introduced cold case playing cards to their inmates. Although "introduced" may be a generous term - most prisons charge inmates for the cold case packs and make them the only cards available.
Not only are the cards helpful in solving crimes, they're cheap, too. "The best part of it all is that it's free," Michael Sullivan, the chief inspector in the Connecticut Office of the Chief State's Attorney, told Slate. "The original deck was paid for with drug forfeiture funds by the Department of Corrections. After that they're self-funding."

Here is an easy Christmas craft to set up with your little ones some time this holiday season. With a few simple materials, your child will make a Paper Plate Wreath Craft. It's a great way to sneak in fine motor skills practice!
A much loved fine motor activity among preschoolers is the use of scissors. I try to make scissors and paper readily available for my littles because fine motor skills are so.very.important-- especially in this crazy technology age that we are in. Many more kids know how to "swipe" more than properly use scissors!
Practice proper scissor use with this simple Christmas themed cutting activity.
Your preschooler will love creating a Christmas wreath in the process.
Prep the activity by cutting a circle out of the center of the green paper plate so that it resembles a wreath. ** Alternatively, you could use a white paper plate and have your child color it green with markers, paint, do-a dot markers, bleeding tissue paper, etc!
Encourage your child to use the scissors to make small snips around that paper plate.
Make sure they do not cut all the way to the circle!
Tie the red ribbon into a bow and glue it onto the wreath.
Now your preschooler has made an easy and adorable Paper Plate Wreath Craft. Hand it somewhere around the house to show off this simple kid-made holiday decoration!
It was such a simple way to work on fine motor skills!
Snowman Scissor Skills Craft -- Another great way to practice cutting skills this winter season!
What is Hiding in the Grass? Cutting Activity -- Save this idea for spring or summer time. It's a cute activity go-along for the book, In the Tall Tall Grass.
Paper Plate Lion's Mane Craft -- If you end up buying white paper plates for this craft, save some to make these fun Paper Plate Lion's!
Gingerbread Man Preschool Cutting Practice -- A fun extension activity for any Gingerbread themed book!
Looking for more fine motor skills activities in one place? Check out our book!


Pillows and cushion covers are often touted as being a quick and easy way to enhance the décor of a bedroom, and often all these pillows end up not being used except as décor. This is all well and good, but sometimes this can mean that pillows become grimy or dusty and need frequent laundering if we do not want our bedrooms to look stale or grubby. This can make us feel unenthused about our décor, wanting to perhaps strip back the adornments so as to make house-keeping tasks a bit easier. But you do not have to abandon your dreams of a luxurious looking bed just yet: pillow protectors are here to save the day!
Pillow protectors are sturdy fabric cases, usually with a zipped fastening, into which pillows can be fastened to keep them safe from wear and tear and daily grime build-up. The occurrence of the latter does not necessarily mean that your home is particularly dirty or unkempt: simply handling things, even with clean hands, can spread a certain amount of dust, grime and even things like skin cells; all of which add up over time to cause a loss of freshness to fabric items.
Why Should I Use Pillows and Cushion Covers?
Pillow protectors and cushion covers look attractive, and they protect the softer fabric of the pillow-cases – which can be quite ready to pick up grime and dirt – from everyday detritus, keeping the pillows fresh and clean, and making sure that the pillow-cases are fresh, fragrant and ready to use when you do need them, for guests or as a change from your regular pillows which may need to be laundered or dry cleaned periodically.
Using sturdy pillow protectors is a great way to enhance the efficiency of your house-keeping as it means that you can leave them in place for weeks or even months at a time, without having to worry about the pillow needing to be washed to keep it in good condition. This saves you time, and provides peace of mind, as you know that your pillows and pillow-cases will remain safe and clean until they are needed.
This is not to say that pillow protectors and cushion covers are magical and do not need to be cleaned! They do, however, only need to be cleaned occasionally. This is much more easily done than trying to wash and replace them every couple of weeks or so. Pillow protectors are usually white or cream in colour, and thus easily fit into most bedroom's existing décor, and of course – cushion covers can be found in every colour of the rainbow, so you are sure to find something to suit your taste!
Where Can I Find Cushion Covers?
Cushion covers can turn around the way your home looks without having to spend a fortune. They are by far the best choice when you are looking to experiment but also create a cosy atmosphere. They are not just decorative but also help in getting you comfortable as you lay your head on them. You can get cushion covers online at Yorkshire Linen CO. to make sure that you and your guests stay comfortable.
I do think a pillow or cushion instantly brightens a room, it's a good way to freshen things up. And yes, we use pillow protectors, very handy.

Q: Unable to pass private registry credentials to Azure Iot Edge I am using kubernetes with virtual-kubelet to deploy module to Iot Edge.
Everything works perfect with public image.
I can't figure out how to pass credentials to my private registry.
This documentation https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/master/articles/iot-edge/iot-edge-runtime.md says:

settings.image – The container image that the IoT Edge agent uses to
  start the module. The IoT Edge agent must be configured with
  credentials for the container registry if the image is protected by a
  password. Credentials for the container registry can be configured
  remotely using the deployment manifest, or on the IoT Edge device
  itself by updating the config.yaml file in the IoT Edge program
  folder.

Seems very easy but can't find how to modify config.yaml to add my credentials.
I think that it should be added in below section but there is no example how to do that.

I started feeding my 6 month old baby cereal six weeks ago and vegatables 3 weeks ago. I breast feed him but now that he eats solids he wants more of that.When he sees me eat he wants some and throws fits even after he just got done breastfeeding.So right now i feed him baby cereal mixed with an ounce of formula in the morning and a half jar of stage 1 baby food in the evening along with bottle feeding.How many times should he be eating baby food a day?
I was told by our child health nurse that if my child wanted more then it was okay to give them more but up until 8-9 months they should have milk first and then their solids.
In the NZ "Thriving under fives" book which is given free to all parents it says "to let your baby's appetite guide how much is eaten. Some babies will eat more than others. Some babies are ready for 2 meals a day a day the second week after starting solid foods and then 3 meals by the third week each baby is different."
I am trying to remember what my kids did. I think my son is was eating three meals a day by eight months. He was nearly six months when we started solids. I think that my daughter was similar.
This link gives the following guideline:"Once baby has been having 'one meal a day' for about 3 weeks, you can start introducing a second meal time, and then a third meal time a week or so after that. Always remember to feed baby their milk first and only then offer solids."
I've read that you should let your baby be your guide. It's possible that your son is interested in the experience of eating (and doing what you're doing) as well as being hungry.
You could consider using (some or all of) the baby-led feeding ideas, since they encourage you eating with your baby (and eating the same things, which would be easier if he's going to want to experience the joys of a meal with you).
I'd check out (from the library if its available) Baby-led Weaning: Helping Your Baby To Love Good Food by Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. It goes over all of the questions you have about feeding, from the baby-led weaning perspective. If you start at chapter 4, it dives into the nitty gritty.

A hilarious, easy, and fun app.
REALLY people? How can a little iPhone app cause bad behavior? I have this app on my iTouch, it makes me and my friends crack up! He has a super funny high-pitched voice that even makes my mom laugh. My little brother will sneak into my room and sat it up for my alarm to make me smile. I think it's a great, funny app that couldn't hurt a fly.
Carl will repeat anything you say, so he will curse.
Of course it ecourages bad behavior. the first time i tried it i said "i'm scary and red and i hate everybody". safe for little kids, but not for the older ones.


Let's avoid a Christmas clash by buying super thoughtful (and neutral) gifts for your in-laws instead.
Has there ever been a relationship more complex than that of yours with your in-laws? Maybe you hit the marriage lottery and landed yourself non-judgmental, supportive, loving in-laws…or maybe you didn't. Regardless of which category you land in, choosing just the right gift for your extended mom and dad is imperative because, well, any little detail can be misconstrued if you're not careful. What's that, you were thinking of gifting a juicer? They might take offense, assuming you're hinting they need to lose weight. How about a cookbook? They could interpret that as you not liking their cooking.
Pretty much every gift under the sun can be misinterpreted, but we've actually found 10 that are so thoughtful and neutral, they're guaranteed to be a hit. And you're guaranteed to be look like the perfect son- or daughter-in-law that you are. So let's avoid a family fight (or, if you're a member of my clan, some passive aggressive eye-rolling), and buy the in-laws considerate gifts that are super useful and eye-catching to boot.

Martin Brundle's daughter Charlotte Brundle is a designer who has worked at several companies. Image Source: Charlotte Brundle LinkedIn.
Only Daughter Of Martin And Liz
Unlike Her Father, Charlie Is A Designer
Martin Brundle's Daughter Traveled Around The World
Charlotte Has Got A Boyfriend
Hailing from Norfolk, England, United Kingdom, Martin John Brundle, also known as Martin Brundle, is a former racing driver. He is one of the most well-known racers who competed in Formula One for nearly a decade. Apart from F1, he has also raced in several other championships. Even after his retirement, he enjoys a successful career in the racing world. He has worked as a commentator on different television networks and is a highly regarded individual.
Because of his professional success, Martin's personal life has also become a topic of interest for several fans. The successful former racer, Martin, shares a blissful marital life with his wife, Liz Brundle, and they have two babies, a son, and a daughter. In this article, let's know more about Martin Brundle's daughter, Charlotte Brundle, and her whereabouts.
Martin Brundle and Liz Brundle have been married for several years. However, the couple has not opened up much about their marital life and their early dating days. But it is no news that in many years of their togetherness, the duo became the doting parents of two children.
Charlotte Brundle is Liz and Martin's only daughter, whom they welcomed in May 1988. Furthermore, Charlotte aka Charlie Brundle also has a brother, Alex Brundle, whom her parents welcomed on August 7, 1990, two years after her birth.
Charlotte Brundle has a brother who is two years younger than her. Image Source: Travel Creative Instagram.
Charlotte and her younger sibling have a great relationship. The brother and sister duo grew up having a wonderful time.
Martin Brundle's daughter, Charlie Brundle, attended Oakham School. She took A-level and GSCE, Design, Spanish, Maths, and Business Studies and graduated in 2006. After graduating, she attended Loughborough University in 2006. There she took BA (Hons), Industrial Design and Technology with Diploma in Professional Studies, and graduated in 2010.
Upon graduating, Charlotte worked at many design firms. She started as a Development Designer at Artform International and a year later, she joined Lotus Cars. There, she spent about six weeks in its Styling department. Then, she worked at Canard Design Limited as a Junior Industrial Designer.
Furthermore, Martin's baby girl has worked at several other companies. From April 2012 to October 2016, she worked as a Production Interior & Detail Designer at Jaguar Land Rover. Similarly, she has experience working as an Interior Designer Core and Q at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. and Freelance Designer at C3B Design Limited.
Charlotte currently works as a Designer at McLaren Automotive Ltd. Her first stint with the company was for six months, from October 2019 to March 2020. Her second stint started in November 2020. Thus, Martin's daughter must have earned significantly from her works in the past.

Apart from being a professional designer, Martin Brundle's baby girl, Charlotte, is also an adventurous woman. In October 2016, she took a six-month-long sabbatical from her professional work in order to travel the world. She traveled to 52 countries, including South America, Australia, New Zealand. Japan, and many others.
While traveling, Charlotte gained inspiration from some less-traveled parts of the world. She also learned about some of the Automotive industry's largest markets. By March 2017, she ended her travel and returned to her job.
Furthermore, she has an Instagram page under the name Travel Creative, where she has uploaded several pictures that she has clicked during her journey. Moreover, she has also made a website where she has talked about her travel experience and lifestyle and gave instructions on how to plan a trip.
Furthermore, in January 2013, Martin Brundle's daughter passed her motorbike test. He shared the news via Twitter and said that he was proud of her for passing the test. In addition, she also participated in a number of go-karts and supports her dad and brother. She often attends a number of races in order to support her brother.
Very proud of my daughter Charlie passing her m/bike test, providing she does what I say,and not what I do… We need lots more young bikers
— Martin Brundle (@MBrundleF1) January 19, 2013
Despite the recognition that Charlotte has gained because of her dad's name, she seems to be private. Charlotte has not made much public appearance and rarely talks in the media.
Martin Brundle's baby girl is in a relationship with James Taylor. Going through her Instagram, it can be assumed that the couple must have been together for a long time now. They often travel to several countries and places together. But, they have not revealed yet when they exactly met. They are yet to exchange the vows and let's hope we get to hear some good news in the coming days.
A post shared by ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔩𝔦𝔢 ✈ 𝔗𝔯𝔞𝔳𝔢𝔩 ℭ𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔳𝔢 ♥ (@travel__creative)
Charlie seems to be doing great in her professional and personal life. She must be in good health, and let's hope she has a successful future.
The name Charlotte has a French meaning, and it means Free.

Bucs Showing Interest in Ex-Ravens Starting RB: Report
Heavy on Buccaneers
By DJ Siddiqi
Updated May 12, 2022 at 3:01am
Getty The Buccaneers are showing interest in ex-Ravens running back Ty'Son Williams.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be looking to add another running back to the mix.
As reported by Greg Auman of The Athletic on Wednesday, May 11, the Buccaneers have reached out to free agent running back Ty'Son Williams. The 25-year-old Williams became a free agent when the Baltimore Ravens withdrew their tender for the running back.
"Bucs are one of a number of teams that have reached out to running back Ty'Son Williams, a free agent after Ravens withdrew their tender," says Auman. "Averaged 5.3 yards per carry in limited work last season."

How Williams Fell out of Favor for Ravens
The former undrafted free agent actually entered the 2021 season as the Ravens' starting running back. Williams emerged at the top of Baltimore's depth following sudden season-ending injuries to both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards prior to the start of the regular season.
Williams started the first three games and posted solid numbers, rushing for 164 yards on 27 carries (6.1 yards per carry). However, he quickly fell out of favor as the Ravens started to lean on free agent signees Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman shortly thereafter.
In fact, after Williams was declared inactive in Week 4, he carried the ball just eight more times for the rest of the regular season. He was relegated to mainly special teams duties after Week 9, playing just four offensive snaps between Week 10 and the end of the season.
With the Ravens recently signing free agent back Mike Davis, Williams became expendable. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic suggests that Baltimore gave up quickly on the young running back due to never being able to gain the confidence of the coaching staff.
"Ty'Son Williams started three games for the Ravens last year, finishing with 185 rushing yards and a TD on 35 carries; and 9 catches for 84 yards," said Zrebiec. "He just never seemed to garner the confidence of coaching staff. Change of scenery probably will be beneficial for 25-year-old."
How Williams Could Fit With Buccaneers
According to Pro Football Focus, Williams posted a 62.8 offensive grade last season. The numbers are actually not too far off in comparison to Tampa Bay's backup running backs. Giovani Bernard posted a 65.1 offensive grade last season, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn posted a 65.2 offensive grade.
Outside of Bernard and Vaughn, Tampa Bay also returns starting back Leonard Fournette. In addition to the three veteran backs, the Buccaneers also selected Arizona State running back Rachaad White with a third-round draft pick.
In a scenario where Williams does sign with the Bucs, he'd be joining another crowded backfield. With that said, he could have an outside shot at a roster spot if he beats out Bernard, who mainly plays a pass-catching back role in Tampa Bay. And in an absolute worst-case scenario, the Buccaneers could always use Williams as an insurance policy on the practice squad.
We'll see if talks advance between both sides, but it's clear by the Buccaneers' preliminary interest in Williams that they're looking to add to their backfield.

Saruman (Christopher Lee) Not Doing The Hobbit?
When asked at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival whether or not he would be seen in the upcoming Hobbit movies, Christopher Lee (also know as the evil Saruman in The Lord of the Rings) said that as much as he did enjoy participating in the monumental, record setting trilogy, he feels that another trip to New Zealand would most likely be too much. He also explains that even though Saruman is not ever mentioned in the book, the second movie could indeed have a part for the corrupt wizard. Check it out.

Whether your goal is to establish an independent accounting practice in your community, join an established firm to provide external auditing and consulting services, or secure a corporate position in management accounting – your career in accountancy starts with formal education.
The continual need for fiscal accountability, operational cost efficiency and growth across all sectors is driving the demand for public accountants, management accountants, auditors, and government accountants. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2022 the number of accountants and auditors will increase by 13% and represent 1.4 million members of the U.S. work force. Accountants across all specialties are expected to fill 166,700 new jobs in the ten-year period leading up to 2022.
Accountancy continues to act as the great economic stabilizer in the U.S. and global economies. In any economic climate, thorough analysis, reporting, review and record maintenance offer the assurance of sound and profitable financial practices.
Here aspiring CPAs will find the steps to take in the licensing process for all 55 jurisdictions, information on certification standards in the major areas and vital subspecialties of accounting, and up-to-date resources that address the evolving legal framework in which accountants operate.
Each state and jurisdiction's Board of Accountancy maintains autonomous licensing authority over the CPAs that engage clients within its boarders. Although the process for attaining CPA licensure in all states and jurisdictions consists of the same basic steps, each Board has its own specific requirements that must be met. In all cases, becoming a CPA would involve fulfilling state or jurisdiction specific requirements and processes for the qualification, issuance, and maintenance of a CPA license.
Education – All CPA candidates must hold a bachelor's degree, at minimum, and have no fewer than 150 semester hours of formal education.
Examination – All CPA candidates must achieve a passing score on the Uniform CPA Exam.
Experience – All CPA candidates must gain field experience under the supervision of a licensed CPA. In most states and jurisdictions, one year of supervised experience satisfies the requirement.
The difference in education requirements between Boards has to do with how many credit hours are required in each of the core areas of ethics and law, accounting, and business.
Although the Uniform CPA Exam is the same in all states and jurisdictions, the eligibility requirements for taking the exam are not. While some states allow candidates to take the exam after completing their standard 120-semester hour bachelor's program, most require that the full 150 semester-hour requirement be fulfilled through continuing education or a graduate program prior to sitting for the exam. Some states also require a state-specific ethics exam in addition to the CPA Exam.
Experience is a key component to qualifying for CPA licensure, and one that is upheld by all Boards of Accountancy. Although one year of general supervised experience is the standard, most Boards maintain specific requirements for the number of hours spent performing audit and attestation work during this time. Each Board also has its own process in place for tracking and logging the requisite hours, which both the CPA candidate and the supervising CPA must adhere to.
Even as all state and jurisdiction Boards of Accountancy move toward a greater level of uniformity, there are still many inconsistencies. AccountingEdu.org serves as a detailed guide to those interested in learning the process and satisfying the requirements for achieving CPA licensure within their state or jurisdiction.

Phil Caliva (born January 1, 1945 in Palermo, Sicily) is an Italian-born American racing driver who competed in the CART Championship Car series from 1979 to 1984.  After racing in the North American Formula Super Vee series in 1977 and 1978, he made his CART debut in 1979 driving for Spike Gehlhausen at Ontario Motor Speedway.  Caliva returned the next year and made five starts for Bill Alsup and tried but failed to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.  Caliva attempted a second time to qualify for the "500" for Alsup in 1981 but again failed to make the field.  He made 3 more starts later that year, including his best series finish of 8th place at the Michigan International Speedway in July.  He tried 3 races including the Indy 500 in 1982 but failed to qualify for all of them.  He tried the Indy 500 again in 1983 and missed the field again, but made the race at Riverside International Raceway in what would be his last Champ Car start.  He tried the Long Beach race and the Indy 500 again in 1984 but again missed both races.

In total, Caliva made 10 starts and failed to qualify or start 10 more times, including 5 failed attempts at the Indy 500.  His best points finish was 22nd place in the 1981 season.

The US has charged seven Russian military intelligence officials over the alleged hacking of doping agencies and other organisations, as part of a joint crackdown with Western allies on a series of major cyberattacks attributed to Moscow.
The US Justice Department indicted the officers on Thursday for conspiring to hack computers and steal data in a bid to delegitimise international anti-doping organisations and expose officials who revealed a Russian state-sponsored athlete doping programme.
John Demers, US assistant attorney general for National Security, confirmed the seven agents were indicted in connection to the attack on the Hague-based Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), on football's governing body FIFA and the US and global anti-doping agencies, and on the US nuclear energy company Westinghouse among others.
The indictments also include charges of money laundering, using virtual currencies like bitcoin, wire fraud and identify theft.
"Nations like Russia and others that engage in malicious and norm-shattering cyber and influence activities should understand the continuing and steadfast resolve of the United States and its allies to prevent, disrupt and deter such unaccountable conduct," Demers told a news conference in Washington, DC.
The defendants, all Russian nationals and residents, were named as Aleksei Sergeyevich Morenets, 41, Evgenii Mikhaylovich, Serebriakov, 37, Ivan Sergeyevich Yermakov, 32, Artem Andreyevich Malyshev, 30, and Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin, 27, and Oleg Mikhaylovich Sotnikov, 46, and Alexey Valerevich Minin, 46.
Yermakov, Malyshev, and Badin were among the 12 GRU officers indicted in July this year by special counsel Robert Mueller over alleged interference in the US polls in 2016.
"These seven defendants are charged with a pervasive campaign of hacking, stealing private and sensitive information and publishing that information to retaliate against Russian detractors and sway public opinion in Russia's favour," said Scott Brady, US attorney for the Western District of Pensylvannia.
The indictments were announced hours after Dutch authorities said they had thwarted an attempt by Russian intelligence agents to hack into the global chemical weapons watchdog, the OPCW, in April, expelling four Russian agents.
The US charges also came after the United Kingdom accused Russia's GRU military agency of directing a host of cyber attacks aimed at undermining Western democracies by sowing confusion in everything from sports to transport and the 2016 US presidential election.
In a news conference in The Hague, Dutch Defence Minister Ank Bijleveld called on Russia to cease its cyber activities that aim at "undermining" Western democracies.
Meanwile, Britain's Defence Minister Gavin Williamson said Moscow's "reckless and indiscriminate" attacks left it isolated in the international community.
"This is not the actions of a great power, this is the actions of a pariah state and we'll continue working with allies to isolate, make them understand they cannot continue to conduct themselves in such a way," Williamson told reporters in the Belgian capital, Brussels, during a NATO meeting.
US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he agreed with the British and Dutch assessments.
Al Jazeera's Paul Brennan, reporting from the British capital, London, said: "Most, if not all, advanced intelligence agencies engage in hacking."
"But it seems today that what we're seeing is a coordinated campaign against Russia specifically because the activities that Russia has been engaging in go far beyond what in normal intelligence circles would be regarded as acceptable".
Andrew Tsonchev, a cyber security consultant at Darktrace Industrial, an Artificial Intelligence cyber security company, said the "range and scope of the alleged attacks were noteworthy".
"They are not limited to any one sector or any one particular kind of target, it's the full range of attacks," he told Al Jazeera in an interview from London. "What's interesting here is the diversity and comprehensivity of these attacks."
