Before STEPHENS and FEE, Circuit Judges, and JAMES M. CARTER, District Judge.
JAMES M. CARTER, District Judge.
This case involves a contest over the proceeds of a National Service Life Insurance Policy, and raises the question as to whether Sec. 8.91(b) of the Regulations of the Veterans Administration, 13 F.R. 7108, 38 C.F.R. 8.91(b) (1949) is a valid regulation, is consistent with the statute concerning National Service Life Insurance, and is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of such statute.
The facts are not in dispute and the case was tried below on a stipulated record. A memorandum opinion, Short v. United States, D.C.Cal.1954, 123 F.Supp. 414, 416, constituted the findings and conclusions, and judgment was entered thereon.
Irving Short, while in the United States Army in World War II, was issued a National Service Life Insurance policy for $10,000 effective January 1, 1943. On August 25, 1949, the insured changed the beneficiary of his policy so that thereafter his mother, Ethel G. Short, was the principal beneficiary and his brother James Harvey Short and the Berkshire Industrial Farm, a charitable institution, were the first contingent beneficiaries, each to the extent of $5000. However, at no time did the insured select any method of payment to be made to the beneficiaries, i.e., did not provide whether payment should be in a lump sum or installments.1
Irving Short was honorably discharged from the Army with rank of Captain, and while attempting to re-enlist in connection with the war in Korea, he died of polio in an Army hospital in Tokyo, Japan, on August 30, 1950.
Ethel G. Short, his mother, filed a claim with the Veterans Administration in September, 1950, seeking payment of the policy. Delays occurred in securing an official report of death, which was finally received July 3, 1951. Meanwhile on June 14, 1951, Ethel G. Short died. She received nothing from the policy during her lifetime.
After Mrs. Short's death the Veterans Administration informed her attorneys that according to its regulations it had no choice but to pay the proceeds of the policy, including installments accruing after the insured's death and before Mrs. Short's death, to the designated co-contingent beneficiaries. On November 29, 1951, the Director of Dependents and Beneficiaries Claims Service made a ruling to the same effect. On May 2, 1952, that ruling was affirmed by Board of Veterans' Appeals.
Margaret D. Short was appointed Administratrix of the Estate of Ethel G. Short, deceased, and as such commenced this action against the United States, James Harvey Short, individually and as Administrator of the Estate of Irving Short, the insured, and Berkshire Industrial Farm, seeking declaratory relief. Answers were filed by all defendants. The answer of defendant James Harvey Short set forth his claim as an individual, to-wit, a contingent co-beneficiary and his claim as Administrator of the estate of the assured.
After trial on the stipulated facts, the district court entered judgment for Margaret D. Short as Administrator of the Estate of Ethel G. Short (the principal beneficiary) for the amount of the insurance benefits accrued but unpaid prior to the death of Ethel G. Short,2 upon the ground that the Veterans Administration's regulation, Sec. 8.91(b) which the court said (123 F.Supp. 416) 'specifically covers the case', was not supported by the statute or was otherwise invalid. The judgment further provided that the balance of the proceeds of the insurance policy be paid one-half each to the contingent co-beneficiaries, James Harvey Short and Berkshire Industrial Farm.
Only the United States appealed, although James Harvey Short individually and as Administrator of the estate of the insured is carried in the caption of the transcript of record and briefs as an appellant. He also filed a reply brief to that of the United States. He is a proper appellee.
Although the contest over the proceeds of the policy is actually between parties other than the United States, the United States being in reality a stakeholder, still the United States has a legitimate and proper interest in supporting lawfully promulgated regulations and in carrying out the will of Congress, United States v. Snyder, 1949, 85 U.S.App.D.C. 198, 177 F.2d 44, 49; United States v. Hoth, 9 Cir., 207 F.2d 386; and see: United States v. Leverett, 5 Cir., 1952, 197 F.2d 30 (where the United States, as appellant, secured a reversal).
Statute and Regulation Involved
Section 602(u) of the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, as added by § 9 of the Act of August 1, 1946, 60 Stat. 781, as amended by the Act of May 23, 1949, 63 Stat. 74, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u), provides:
'With respect to insurance maturing on or subsequent to August 1, 1946, in any case in which the beneficiary is entitled to a lump-sum settlement but elects some other mode of settlement and dies before receiving all the benefits due and payable under such mode of settlement, the present value of the remaining unpaid amount shall be payable to the estate of the beneficiary; and in any case in which no beneficiary is designated by the insured, or the designated beneficiary does not survive the insured, or a designated beneficiary not entitled to a lump-sum settlement survives the insured, and dies before receiving all the benefits due and payable, the commuted value of the remaining unpaid insurance (whether accrued or not) shall be paid in one sum to the estate of the insured: Provided, That in no event shall there be any payment to the estate of the insured or of the beneficiary of any sums unless it is shown that any sums paid will not escheat.'
Section 8.91(b) of the Regulations of the Veterans Administration, 13 F.R. 7108, 38 C.F.R. 8.91(b) (1949), provides:
'If the principal beneficiary of National Service life insurance maturing on or after August 1, 1946, does not survive the insured or if the principal beneficiary not entitled to a lump-sum settlement survives the insured but dies before payment has commenced, the insurance shall be paid to the contingent beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of § 8.77.'
The Questions Presented
1. Whether § 8.91(b) of the Veterans Administration Regulations-- providing that insurance installments accrued but unpaid to a deceased principal beneficiary not entitled to lump-sum settlement should be paid to the contingent beneficiary-- is consistent with § 602(u) of the Act.
2. Whether § 8.91(b) of the Veterans Administration Regulations is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Act.
3. Whether a regulation of the Veterans Administration must be given effect by the court if it is not inconsistent with the National Service Life Insurance Act and is necessary or appropriate to carry out its purposes, notwithstanding that the regulation may be 'legislative' in nature.
4. Whether the delay of the Veterans Administration in securing the official record of death has any bearing on the case.
Sec. 8.91(b) of the Regulations is not inconsistent with Sec. 602(u) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u), and is in fact consistent therewith.
Sec. 602(u) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u), provides that when 'a designated beneficiary not entitled to a lump-sum settlement * * * dies before receiving all the benefits due and payable * * * the remaining unpaid insurance (whether accrued or not) shall be paid in one sum to the estate of the insured'. The word 'beneficiary' is used in the statute in the singular. We hold that the phrase 'designated beneficiary' includes contingent as well as principal beneficiaries. This is the construction which has been followed by the Veterans Administration since the enactment of the statute, Regulations, Sec. 10:3489, 11 F.R. 9285, 38 C.F.R. 10:3489 (Supp.1946) 38 C.F.R. 8.89 (1949). The trial court herein also so held. Washburn v. United States, D.C.Mo.1945, 63 F.Supp. 224, gave the same construction to 'beneficiary' used in Sec. 602(g) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(g).
Without reading the words 'designated beneficiary' to include principal and contingent beneficiaries, Sec. 602(u) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u), does not cover or provide for the factual situation where contingent beneficiaries were named. Therefore the Regulation, Sec. 8.91(b) which was issued to provide for this contingency, cannot be inconsistent with the Act.
In fact the regulation 8.91(b) is consistent with the Act and framed to carry out its intent, if the word 'beneficiary' also includes 'contingent beneficiaries.'
Sec. 602(u) of the Act concerns situations involving both lump-sum settlements and installment payments. The material therein falls into two parts, but the results are different. In one instance the estate of the beneficiary is ultimately preferred, in the other the estate of the insured.
The first part of Sec. 602(u) concerns a 'beneficiary (wh0) is entitled to a lump-sum settlement but elects some other mode of settlement and dies before receiving all the benefits due * * *'. The remaining insurance then goes to the beneficiary's estate. This part of the section was enacted to care for the lump-sum settlements that an insured might designate after August 1, 1946, made possible by the changes in the statute as of that date. Our case could not come within this part of the section since Mrs. Short was never entitled to a lump-sum settlement and could therefore make no election.
The second part of the section, after the semicolon, concerns situations where,
(a) no beneficiary was designated or
(b) the designated beneficiary did not survive the insured, or
(c) 'a designated beneficiary not entitled to a lump-sum settlement survives the insured, and dies before receiving all the benefits due and payable'. Here 'the remaining unpaid insurance (whether accrued or not) shall be paid in one sum to the estate of the insured'.
Thus where the 'designated beneficiary' (the mother, Mrs. Short) 'not entitled to a lump-sum settlement survives the insured, and dies' (Mrs. Short's situation) 'before receiving all the benefits due and payable' (the $2600 in question was due and payable) 'the remaining unpaid insurance' (this would include the $2600) '(whether accrued or not)' (the $2600 was accrued), 'shall be paid in one sum to the estate of the insured'. Congress said expressly the estate of the insured, not the estate of the beneficiary, was entitled to the remaining insurance.
Since we read Sec. 602(u) as also including contingent beneficiaries, the Congressional intent is clear that where no lump settlement had been designated, only if all the beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries die before they receive all the benefits to which they are entitled, is 'the remaining unpaid insurance (whether accrued or not) * * * paid * * * to the estate of the insured.' It is not, as held by the court below, the estate of the beneficiary which is ultimately preferred in such installment situations.
The words 'whether accrued or not' in Sec. 602(u) are significant. Thus, absent the lump-sum payment situation, where the beneficiaries have survived the insured and then die, the installments accrued and unpaid do not go to an estate of a beneficiary, but go to the estate of the insured.
All that Sec. 8.91(b) of the Regulations does is read into Sec. 602(u) the inclusion of contingent beneficiaries, and is therefore in truth consistent with Sec. 602(u) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u). Nothing in Sec. 8.81(u) is at variance with the provisions of Sec. 602(u), that in the installment situations, the unpaid insurance after the decease of 'the beneficiary' go to the estate of the insured.
Regulation 8.91(b) is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Act.
The Veterans Administration is given broad statutory power to 'determine and publish the terms and conditions of such insurance.' § 602(o) of the Act, 54 Stat. 1009, 1011, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(o) and 'to make such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this subchapter, as are necessary or appropriate to carry out its purposes'. § 608 of the Act, 54 Stat. 1009, 1012, as amended, 38 U.S.C.A. § 808.
In reviewing insurance regulations of the Administrator, courts must examine the pertinent section of the Act in relation to the Act's other sections and in relation to its legislative history for the purpose of determining 'whether the regulation is 'not inconsistent' with the provisions of the Act and whether it is 'necessary or appropriate to carry out its purposes." United States v. Zazove, 1948, 334 U.S. 602, 612, 68 S.Ct. 1284, 1288, 92 L.Ed. 1601.
There were various alternatives that might have been available to the Administrator in tailoring Regulation 8.91(b). Other alternatives, than the one adopted would result in benefiting a decedent's estate rather than a living contingent beneficiary. Such a result would be contrary to the intent of the policyholder shown by his designation of a contingent beneficiary.
The form for change of beneficiary has an explanation under the head 'Instructions,'3 setting forth the various alternatives available and referring specifically to contingent beneficiaries and the estate of the insured as a possible beneficiary. Sec. 8.91(b) of the Regulations therefore carries out the intent of the insured to protect his contingent beneficiary rather than have the insurance money go to his estate.
The Administrator and the Congress have acted under this assumption. From the beginning, the underlying policy of National Service Life Insurance has been to benefit living people and to care for the families and friends of men who gave their lives for their country. Congress had the benefit of the experience under World War Veterans' Act of 1924, 43 Stat. 607, 38 U.S.C.A. § 421 et seq., which provided for payment to a beneficiary's personal representative of accrued installments of insurance unpaid at the time of his death, Section 26, 38 U.S.C.A. § 451, and to the estate of the insured of the present value of all unmatured installments, Section 303, 38 U.S.C.A. § 514. In view of the express provisions in the 1924 Act for payment to the beneficiary's estate of installments accrued but unpaid, McCullough v. Smith, 1934, 293 U.S. 228, 55 S.Ct. 157, 79 L.Ed. 297, Singleton v. Cheek, 1932, 284 U.S. 493, 52 S.Ct. 257, 76 L.Ed. 419, and their omission in the 1940 Act, Congress indicated an intention to provide for and prefer living beneficiaries.4
This policy to prefer the living is shown in the holdings in Henning v. United States, 1952, 344 U.S. 66, 73 S.Ct. 114, 97 L.Ed. 101, and Baumet v. United States, 1952, 344 U.S. 82, 73 S.Ct. 122, 97 L.Ed. 111, that the Act required forfeiture to the National Service Life Insurance Fund if no beneficiary was alive.
We conclude that Regulation 8.91(b) was necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Act.
Regulation 8.91(b), since not inconsistent with and since necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Act, must be given effect even though it may be legislative in nature.
An administrative regulation promulgated within the authority granted by statute has the force of law and will be given full effect by the courts. National Broadcasting Co. v. United States, 1943, 319 U.S. 190, 63 S.Ct. 997, 87 L.Ed. 1344; Rosen v. United States, 1918, 245 U.S. 467, 38 S.Ct. 148, 62 L.Ed. 406; Ex parte Reed, 1879, 100 U.S. 13, 25 L.Ed. 538; Gratiot v. United States, 1846, 4 How. 80, 45 U.S. 80, 11 L.Ed. 884; Carter v. Forrestal, 1949, 85 U.S.App.D.C. 53, 175 F.2d 364, certiorari denied 338 U.S. 832, 70 S.Ct. 47, 97 L.Ed. 507.
Consistent administrative construction is entitled to great weight, and such construction is not to be overturned unless clearly wrong, or unless a different construction is plainly required. United States v. Jackson, 1930, 280 U.S. 183, 193, 50 S.Ct. 143, 74 L.Ed. 361; United States v. Citizens Loan & Trust Co., 1942, 316 U.S. 209, 214, 62 S.Ct. 1026, 86 L.Ed. 1387; United States v. Madigan, 1937, 300 U.S. 500, 505, 57 S.Ct. 566, 81 L.Ed. 767. This general rule, of course, 'has peculiar weight when it involves a contemporaneous construction of a statute by the men charged with the responsibility of setting its machinery in motion; of making the parts work efficiently and smoothly while they are yet untried and new.' Norwegian Nitrogen Products Co. v. United States, 1933, 288 U.S. 294, 315, 53 S.Ct. 350, 358, 77 L.Ed. 796; United States v. American Trucking Ass'ns, Inc., 1940, 310 U.S. 534, 549, 60 S.Ct. 1059, 84 L.Ed. 1345.
The Veterans Administration has been consistent in applying a construction similar to Sec. 8.91(b). The forerunner of that section, Sec. 10:3491, 13 F.R. 2584, was issued in May 1948. It construed the statute as requiring that accrued but unpaid insurance proceeds, such as those here in question, be paid to the contingent beneficiary.5
The district court was of the view that only if the regulation was interpretative could it be sustained. We are not concerned with the rule as to administrative regulations of other agencies. The grant of power to the Veterans Administrator was very broad, unlike the ordinary grant to make regulations. He was granted power to 'determine and publish the terms and conditions of' National Service Life Insurance, Sec. 602(o) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(o), and to 'make such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this subchapter, as are necessary or appropriate to carry out its purposes'. Sec. 608 of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 808. The extent and limits of the rule making power were specifically spelled out and we have shown heretofore that Sec. 8.91(b) was not inconsistent with the Act but was necessary and appropriate.6
But we do not think we are required to hold specifically that Section 8.91(b) is legislative in character. Sec. 602(g) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. 802(g), gives the insured the right to designate and change beneficiaries. The form presented by the Veterans Administration expressly instructs that principal and contingent beneficiaries may be named. The preparation of such a form was clearly within the power of the Administrator. Any regulation which would ignore these contingent beneficiaries' rights after the decease of the principal beneficiary, would be clearly improper and in disregard of the intent of the assured.7 Sec. 8.91(b) therefore was properly interpretative of the Act.
Although the contest in this case is over the payments accruing and unpaid from the death of the insured to the death of his mother, Ethel G. Short, we have not specifically talked of this problem, since if Reg. 8.91(b) is valid and effective it disposes of the case and we so hold. However, the Act was clear, prior to the Amendment of August 1, 1946, that 'The right of any beneficiary to payment of any installments shall be conditioned upon his or her being alive to receive such payments. No person shall have a vested right to any installment * * *'. Sec. 602(i) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(i). 'No installments of such insurance shall be paid to the heirs or legal representatives as such of the insured or of any beneficiary * * *'. Sec. 602(j) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(j).
The amendments of August 1, 1946, presented for the first time problems concerning lump-sum payments. Sec. 602(u) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(u), was enacted to care for such lump-sum payments. But the section, in the latter part thereof, was also made applicable to the installment payment policies. Any changes made, permitting payment to an estate, must be limited to those in stances expressly provided for, since such instances were clearly exceptions to the general intent and makeup of the Act.
The Delay of Veterans Administration has no bearing on the case.
The contention that delay by the Veterans Administration in securing the official death record of the insured can effect the result and require payment of the accrued installments to the estate of Ethel G. Short is answered by United States v. Henning, 1952, 344 U.S. 66, 74, 73 S.Ct. 114, 97 L.Ed. 101.
Administrative delay under the World War Veterans' Act of 1924 was similarly treated and 'could not influence our construction of the language of the statute', United States v. Citizens Loan & Trust Company, 1942, 316 U.S. 209, 215, 62 S.Ct. 1026, 1029, 86 L.Ed. 1387.
The judgment is reversed with instructions to enter judgment providing that the proceeds of the policy be distributed in equal shares to the two contingent beneficiaries, James Harvey Short and Berkshire Industrial Farm.
JAMES ALGER FEE, Circuit Judge (dissenting).
There is no question here of any choice as matter of policy between James Harvey Short, individually and as Administrator of the deceased soldier on the one hand, and Margaret D. Short, Administratrix of the estate of Ethel G. Short, his mother. The Veterans Administration, as a stakeholder, has unwarrantably weighted the scales in favor of the former and against the latter. The agency has also unwarrantably taken a violent part in this litigation, in which, as a supposed stakeholder, it should have been neutral.
These actions were taken not in furtherance of justice, but in order to defend its assumption of power in adopting a regulation reinstating the terms of a statute which Congress had just repealed. The excellent opinion of Hon. Edward Murphy, United States District Judge for the Northern District of California, Short v. United States, 123 F.Supp. 414, makes this stretching of its authority perfectly clear. The majority of this panel seems to admit that words must be interpolated into the present statute to permit the agency to adopt this nullifying regulation.
Although it has nothing to do with the merits, the agency seems to have adopted this antagonistic attitude toward the mother, Ethel G. Short, and her heirs, in defense of its own record of unexplained delays, senseless red tape and arbitrary refusals in the face of patent facts to pay Mrs. Short during her lifetime. It is admitted that, if she had been paid these installments during her life, as the facts and the regulations required, the distributees of her estate would have received the benefit of a number of installments, approximating the total of $2,600.00, which this purported regulation takes away from them.
In light of the present congressional policy of judicial review of administrative action, the courts should scrutinize with keen eyes usurpation of jurisdiction to issue regulations, especially when these conflict with the purpose of legislation upon the subject which reflects the ends to be accomplished.
1 Prior to August 1, 1946, the proceeds of insurance were payable in installments. After August 1, 1946, an insured was permitted to designate a lump-sum settlement. See. 602(t) of the Act, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(t).
2 The installments would total about $2609.10.
3 'The insured may designate as principal and/or contingent beneficiary or beneficiaries any person or persons, firm, corporation, or other legal entity (including the estate of the insured) individually or as trustee. Any named beneficiary may be designated in item 6 as 'Principal Beneficiary' or 'Contingent Beneficiary.' Any named beneficiary who is not designated as 'Contingent Beneficiary' will, in general, be presumed to be a principal beneficiary. A contingent beneficiary, generally speaking, is a person who becomes principal beneficiary if the designated principal beneficiary predeceases the insured, or if the principal beneficiary, not entitled to settlement under Option 1 (lump-sum), dies prior to receiving full payment of all guaranteed monthly installments. The insured will have the right at any time, and from time to time, and without the knowledge or consent of the beneficiary or beneficiaries to cancel the beneficiary designation, or to change the beneficiary * * *'.
4 See also Servicemen's Indemnity Act of 1951, 65 Stat. 33, 38 U.S.C.A. § 851 et seq.
5 Even before the 1946 amendments, Section 602(h)(3) of the 1940 Act, 54 Stat. 1009, 1010, 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(h)(3), which provided for the disposition of installments unpaid to deceased beneficiaries, was interpreted as applying to those unpaid installments that had accrued, as well as to the installments not yet accrued. See, e.g., § 10:3449, 6 F.R. 1162.
6 The practice is well established in the federal courts of deferring to the judgment of the Veterans Administration in matters dealing with the administration of veterans' insurance. United States v. Citizens Loan & Trust Co., 316 U.S. 209, 62 S.Ct. 1026, 86 L.Ed. 1387; United States v. Madigan, 300 U.S. 500, 75 S.Ct. 566, 81 L.Ed. 767; Horton v. United States, 5 Cir., 207 F.2d 91, certiorari denied 346 U.S. 903, 74 S.Ct. 233, 98 L.Ed. 403; Cleveland v. United States, 6 Cir., 201 F.2d 398; Jones v. United States, 8 Cir., 189 F.2d 601; United States v. Snyder, 85 U.S.App.D.C. 198, 177 F.2d 44; Hicks v. United States, 4 Cir., 65 F.2d 517; Claffy v. Forbes, 9 Cir., 280 F. 233.
7 To take a common example, suppose that an insured is married and has no children, he names his wife as the principal beneficiary and his parents or brothers and sisters as contingent beneficiaries. If his wife then dies before receiving any payments, the accrued unpaid installments would, under the construction below, go to her estate and thus to her creditors and heirs, i.e., the members of the wife's family. On the other hand, under our construction, the accrued unpaid installments would go to the insured's family as the designated contingent beneficiaries. The latter result is far more in accord with the normal intent of an insured than the result under the construction below.

New Hanan Al-Shaykh Book, The Locust and the Bird Reviewed at Barnes and Noble
October 10, 2009 ~ bythefirelight
Hanan Al-Shaykh finally has a new work available. It has been sometime since Only in London came out and I was quite excited to hear about the new book. The Barnes and Noble review is mixed, but I will be reading it none the less. The book is part biography and part novel and does sound interesting, especially in view of her complete works in English. As with many foreign language writers she isn't mentioned too often, but with 6 or 7 books in English now she is one of the best translated Arabic writers.a
The novel's only significant weakness is its sluggish pace. Inevitably, the poetry-filled yearning characterizing Kamila and Muhammad's years apart begins to grate after a while. And al-Shaykh's decision to chronicle Kamila's countless attacks of jealousy and insecurity proves exasperating, repeatedly miring the story in protracted nothingness. Equally unoriginal is Kamila's realization that married life with Muhammad is not all bliss, what with children and domestic chores multiplying almost unabated.
Of course, there are exceptions. Occasionally, al-Shaykh will inject a surprisingly powerful element into descriptions of her mother's long days and quotidian duties, as when she depicts Kamila's disturbing (and successful) attempts to miscarry, a ghastly homegrown solution to unwanted pregnancy. And after Kamila is widowed, al-Shaykh poignantly has her express her newfound anxiety: "During our marriage, my endless pregnancies and exhaustion had left me isolated from friends and relatives. I'd seen the world through his eyes. After his death, it was as if I started out all over again."
What really matters, however, is al-Shaykh's major twofold achievement with The Locust and the Bird. To begin with, she has written a stirring but never hagiographic account of a woman — her mother — who defies almost every major societal and religious stricture governing women's behavior in her time. Yet al-Shaykh also manages the remarkable feat of unpretentiously capturing a character's philosophical relationship with art. A close reading of The Locust and the Bird reveals that — perhaps counterintuitively — young Kamila does not in fact live vicariously through film; she pointedly refrains from transmuting her hunger for the real yet elusive man she loves into a complacent satisfaction with the honeyed images of romance flitting before her eyes. Indeed, far from allowing films to become her life, Kamila emerges from the theater spiritually refreshed but further impelled to achieve her dream. And that, aside from being a profound notion al-Shaykh deftly encapsulates in literary form, is probably both the wisest and healthiest approach to art.

Future had an exceptional start in the game with his debut track 'Tony Montana' when people heard that joint for the first time, they heard an artist who was totally different from anyone else who came out at that time and Drake wanted to get on it too. Fast forward into the Future, a 2 year stand-off with Drake and a critically acclaimed album DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2), under his belt. It's a new era for Future and he's back on track with Drake dropping the Metro Boomin produced video for 'Where Ya At' straight outta Toronto.
On DS2, Drake is the only featured artist on the album, he's the lone wolf and he's staying in his lane.

Russian occupation troops march out of Germany, leaving strange legacy THE RUSSIAN ARMY DEPARTS.
Yeltsin sought to remind Germans, as well as the rest of the world, of just what a big favor the then-Soviet army did for everyone in World War II..
The war was fought between Nazi Germany, its allies and Finland, against the Soviet Union and its allies. The conflict began on 22 June 1941 with the Operation Barbarossa offensive, when Axis forces crossed the borders described in the German–Soviet Nonaggression Pact, thereby invading the Soviet Union.
Otto SkorzenyOtto Skorzeny (12 June 1908 – 5 July 1975) was an Austrian-born SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) in the Waffen-SS during World War II.
Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, which started on Sunday, 22 June 1941, during World War II. The operation put into action Nazi Germany's ideological goal of conquering the western Soviet Union so as to repopulate it with Germans.
June 22, 1941 – December 5, 1941Operation Barbarossa/Periods
Germany invaded Poland to regain lost territory and ultimately rule their neighbor to the east. The German invasion of Poland was a primer on how Hitler intended to wage war–what would become the "blitzkrieg" strategy.
Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.
However, Soviet forces remained in the country throughout the Cold War. Until 1989, the GDR was governed by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), although other parties nominally participated in its alliance organisation, the National Front of the German Democratic Republic.
The US military presence in Germany is a legacy of the post-WWII Allied occupation, which lasted from 1945 to 1955. … It allowed eight NATO members, including the US, to have a permanent military presence in Germany. The treaty still regulates the terms and conditions of the NATO troops stationed in Germany today.
The states of Germany are not allowed to maintain armed forces of their own, since the German Constitution states that matters of defense fall into the sole responsibility of the federal government. … Germany aims to expand the Bundeswehr to around 203,000 soldiers by 2025 to better cope with increasing responsibilities.
So between 1939 and 1941, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are allies. And Stalin actually provides very substantial support to Nazi Germany. So when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June of 1941, this time it was Stalin who is taken by surprise.
The soldiers leaving Wunsdorf are among the last of what was once the largest Soviet force outside the Soviet Union. Three years ago, there were 546,000 troops and civilians; now there are fewer than 60,000, and the last soldier is to leave in August.
Russians also point to the fact that Soviet forces killed more German soldiers than their Western counterparts, accounting for 76 percent of Germany's military dead.
Refugee flows and escape attempts. Between 1945 and 1988, around 4 million East Germans migrated to the West. 3.454 million of them left between 1945 and the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961.
Germany fought against Russia in World War I (1914–1918). Relations were warm in the 1920s, very cold in the 1930s, friendly in 1939–41, and then turned into war to the death in 1941–45. … That détente collapsed in 1941 when Germany invaded the USSR.
The Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) becomes a sovereign state when the United States, France, and Great Britain end their military occupation, which had begun in 1945.

Economic Profiles for Corn, Hay and Pasture
1980 and Five Year Average 1976-80
Cornell-Dyson-eb8123.pdf (1.512Mb)
Knoblauch, Wayne A.; Milligan, Robert A.
Enacted by the New York State legislature in April 1980, Senate Bill 8923-A and Assembly Bill 11551-A altered the procedures for valuing qualified farm land in real estate tax calculations. The valuation procedure was changed by this legislation from a market base to an income capitalization approach to represent agricultural use value. The legislation stipulated that a land classification system be developed and administered by the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets. The State Division of Equalization and Assessment was directed to calculate land values for each soil group in the land classification system. The division was to use the income capitalization approach based on economic profiles developed by the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. The income capitalization approach was implemented in 1981. Agricultural use values were based where possible on economic profiles.. Economic profiles were constructed for corn and hay grown in 1979 and the 1975-1979 five-year average and were conveyed to the State Division of Equalization and Assessment. Economic profiles for fruit, Long Island potatoes and vegetables grown on muckland were also constructed and conveyed to the State Division of Equalization and Assessment. The purpose of this bulletin is to explain how economic profiles for corn and hay were constructed for 1980 and the five-year average, 1976-1980. A description of the construction of one economic profile using a series of tables that contain the most important parameters utilized dominates the discussion. In this document, the term ''economic profiles" refers to the information required to determine the return to land for one high- or low-lime soil group.

During 1970 interest in the small ungrazed Legume Species Trials was reduced to ten trials located in the more troublesome areas. Five of the trials are on the sandy soils of the Midland Plain three trials are in Merredin-Southern·cross region, one is on deep sand at Tincurrin and the other is at Pindar. All thesites are sandy soils on which the sub clover strains appear to perform the best. The newer trials are investigating the value of sub clover cultivars such as Northam A,Mt Helena A, Shenton Park A, and Daglish. These trials will be the subject of a special report which will be completed when the1970 seed yields have been compiled. At this stage it appears that in all the eastern trials Geraldton, Uniwager and Daglish sub clovers are valuable, with Mt Helena A and Shenton Park A cultivars putting in good performances at individual locations. Northam A sub clover and Uniserra serradella have not been outstanding in their performances in these trials. 66LG11, 68MO23, 69MO17, 69LG24, 70ME2.

Bow, New Hampshire was chartered in 1727. Some say the town derived its name from its location at the bow in the Merrimack River, just south of the state capital in Concord. Wherever the origin of the name, many beautiful reminders of the town's colonial beginnings remain today.
For most early settlers, farming was a way of life. The many stone walls which line Bow's streets, yesterday's survey markers for 100-acre plots of land, serve as vivid hallmarks of the town's agricultural past. Industry has long been a mainstay of life in Bow, with local waterways providing the necessary horsepower to fuel several excellent mill sites. The sawmill and gristmill formed the hub of the section of town referred to as "Bow Mills", one of the first local settlements.
Bow has never lacked for people of vision throughout its history. Sergeant John Ordway, a native of Bow, was an influential member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church, was born and raised in Bow. Bow has also enjoyed its share of visits by presidents and presidential candidates. From Andrew Jackson's triumphal New England Tour in 1833 to the "First-in-the-Nation" primary vote-seekers of today, Bow has been the place where our nation's chief executives and New Hampshire meet. In fact, Franklin Pierce, the fourteenth president of the United States, hailed from nearby Hillsboro, NH.

Campania is a region of Southern Italy, bordering on Lazio to the north-west, Molise to the north, Puglia to the north-east, Basilicata to the east, and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. The region covers 13,595 km² and has a population of 5.8 million.
Campania is divided into the provinces of Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Naples (Napoli), and Salerno. The regional capital is Naples (Napoli).
The name derives from Latin, as it was called by Romans Campania felix ("fortunate countryside"), a name that is shared by the French province of Champagne.
Tourist attractions include the Sibyl's cave at Cumae, the Greek temples at Paestum, the Roman ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum, the volcanoes of Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia, the Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana) from Sorrento to Salerno and the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, and the village of Calitri.
Campania was part of Magna Graecia, the Greek colonies of southern Italy; the first Greek colony was founded at Cumae, north of present day Naples, in the 8th century BCE. Etruscans and Samnites gave way to the expanding Roman Republic.
In 217 BCE Hannibal entered Campania and by burning the crops of these fertile lowlands hoped to provoke the Roman commander Fabius Maximus Cunctator (the delayer). In this Hannibal failed; nor did he sufficiently weaken Roman prestige for any of the Campanian towns to rebel. Fabius, in turn, failed to trap Hannibal in Campania when Hannibal used the ruse of tying burning brands to the horns of cattle, so drawing off the force guarding a vital pass out of Campania. In 216 BCE, however, after Hannibal's victory at the battle of Cannae, Capua, the leading city of Campania, wavered. They first requested complete equality with Rome, including the demand that one of the Roman consuls should be elected from Capua. When Rome rejected this, they opened negotiations with Hannibal who was more than willing to endorse the full independence they sought. The defection of Capua did not however inspire other Campanian towns so Capua was isolated. The Romans, in Hannibal's absence, were eventually able to build siege works round the city. As Hannibal proved unable to break the siege, Capua was eventually starved into submission in 211 BCE.
Campania was the breadbasket of Rome until the acquisition of Egypt brought greater supplies of grain, resulting in the conversion of smallholdings in Campania to the characteristic latifundia that lasted from the Empire to modern times. Goths and the Byzantine Empire struggled for control during the 5th and 6th centuries, followed by the Lombards, who established the Duchy of Benevento. The Normans (Robert Guiscard) conquered and re-unified Campania during the 11th and 12th centuries, seizing southern Italy from the Byzantines, forming the Kingdom of Sicily. After the Hohenstaufen confrontation with the Papacy, the kingdom passed to Charles of Anjou who retained his mainland territories after he lost Sicily (1282) as the Kingdom of Naples, reunited with Sicily by Alfonso V of Aragon (1442) who styled himself the 'King of Two Sicilies', a title that was subsequently revived during the Spanish domination (1504 – 1713) of both kingdoms. The Bourbons succeeded in 1713: prior to the unification of Italy, Campania formed part of the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Drinks and cuisine
Campania is undoubtely acknowledged as the birthplace of pizza.
It is also home to Lacryma Christi wine.
Campania is regarded throughout Italy as the producer of the best Mozzarella di Bufala (Mozzarella made from buffalo milk).
Calitrian cuisine is renowned in the region of Campania for being very tasty and rather spicy. Typical hand-made pasta dishes include cingul', the local dish par excellence. This is short, twirly pasta boiled and then served with a thick, tasty tomato sauce. Other varieties of pasta with the same sauce include lahan' and aurecchi' r' preut'- (priest's ears in the local dialect). Others are annazze', served with delicious hot tomato sauce and pecorino cheese; and sciliend' (a special vermicelli-like pasta) with a condiment of garlic-fried oil and hot chili pepper.
Meat-based delicacies include m'gliatiegghij' a local favourite made up of tasty roulades of kid or lamb casings garnished with cheese, offal, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and sliced sausage; sfritta, or chopped pork meat sautéed with hot peppers; also sammuchij', a local pudding made of pork blood seasoned with minced lard, little segments of orange peel, rice, raisins, cinnamon, pork casings, walnuts, salt and chili pepper powder.
A traditional fish-based delicacy is stockfish a la ualanegna, the favourite of plowmen in the past (ualan' means plowman), in which stockfish is boiled and flavoured with garlic, herbs and chili peppers.

Q: Is there a tool or way to evidence DNS hijacking, censorship, or poisoining? I've noticed that just accessing some types of websites sometimes return something else, depending on where you are in the world etc.
This could be done by changing DNS records on different stages of the DNS lookup, maybe at the ISPs recursive resolver is the most common spot. This can also be used for injecting ads (not sure how though).
But is there any way to evidence this? Is there a way to not go through the ISP recursive resolver?
Any links for further reading are welcome.

A: There is not one answer to your question, but in most
cases this is not caused by DNS but by the website you are visiting.
An example is the generic google.com that will quickly redirect
you to their nearest server in your country, based on your IP address.
That local Google server will insist on including some search
results in the language of the country you are in, no matter
if you specified your own preferred language.
The most efficient method of avoiding these algorithms is to use
a VPN server that is situated in the country you would like such
websites to use by default.

A: This is a very broad question, with lots of elements in the answer. These include:

*

*To bypass DNS issues with your provider or country, use a VPN and ensure DNS queries are routed across it.

*In the simple case, it is quite practical for an ISP to hijack DNS queries. They can do this by only allowing dns queries (ie port 53) to their nameservers, or by redirecting port 53 to their nameservers.  (If they knew how I was doing it  my kids could swear that this is effective!)

*There are tools to look up results, including online tools which will provide lookup results from many servers, and using tools like "dig" (for Unix) with the +trace option.
There are mitigations to mitm attacks like DOH (DNS over HTTPS which bypasses raw DNS queries and Signed DNS records.  (see https://stealthbits.com/blog/dns-over-https/ for info on enabling  DOH )

5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Q: iptables nat not work for sctp i have a server in internal network and i want to access it from external.
the network is like this:
Server A (132.196.28.229) is in external network
Server B (10.35.202.24) can access both network
Server C (192.168.10.99) is in internal network
So, i configure iptables on Server B to forward all traffic from Server A to Server C
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.35.202.24 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.10.99

Then i test it with ping and it works.
Tcpdump on Server B, you can see the ping from Server A and target is 10.35.202.24:
15:34:36.366034 IP 132.196.28.229 > 10.35.202.24: ICMP echo request, id 24510, seq 1, length 64
15:34:37.366321 IP 132.196.28.229 > 10.35.202.24: ICMP echo request, id 24510, seq 2, length 64
15:34:38.374983 IP 132.196.28.229 > 10.35.202.24: ICMP echo request, id 24510, seq 3, length 64
15:34:39.374849 IP 132.196.28.229 > 10.35.202.24: ICMP echo request, id 24510, seq 4, length

and Tcpdump on Server C. now the target adress is changed to 192.168.10.99:
15:34:35.741802 IP 132.196.28.229 > 192.168.10.99: ICMP echo request, id 24510, seq 1, length 64

Here is the INIT message i triggered from Server A:

And i can't capture anything on Server C for sctp.  Looks like that the NAT for sctp not work, and due to server B don't have any sctp service on.  so the server B reply as unreachable.
I have tested ssh as well. The forwarding works well.  so it looks only not working for SCTP!!??
Any suggestion why this happen? is any special configure for sctp i missed?

A: I guess you have already installed SCTP, if so, you are probably missing the nf_conntrack_proto_sctp module. This module is required for iptables to work with SCTP.
Try this:
# modprobe nf_conntrack_proto_sctp

A: You can check by allowing SCTP port. Here the first messages INIT ad INIT-ACK might work, Please note that other node sends its IP in SCTP INIT-ACK payload. Please check more

It is a rare occasion when a trial sparks a national conversation about systemic problems with the justice system. But that is exactly what happened when Gerald Stanley was found not guilty by an all-white jury in the shooting death of Colten Boushie.
Stanley is white. Boushie was an Indigenous youth.
The trial was relatively straightforward. It was almost irrelevant what Boushie did or did not do that night. The defence did not argue self-defence or defence of property. Stanley said he was not-guilty because his gun went off accidently. An expert firearms witness disagreed. But even if the shooting was accidental, Stanley could have been guilty of manslaughter. One fact was not contradicted: Stanley shot Boushie in the back of the head at close range.
But the jury acquitted. We will never know why; it is a crime for a juror to talk about what went down in the deliberation room. Maybe race had nothing to do with it.
But in the justice system perception can be just as important as reality and in this case the perception of racial bias can't be ignored.
Let's start with how the RCMP treated Colten Boushie's mother. The night of the killing the RCMP bluntly told Boushie's mom that her son was "deceased" and then they barged into her home and searched each room. Then they asked the grieving mother if she had been drinking. Maybe the RCMP's callous acts were motivated by a disregard for both the law and common curtesy. But probably not.
And then there was talk in the community of problems of "rural crime" – a notorious dog whistle term meaning Indigenous people. It was from that community that Stanley's jury was selected.
Questions of racial bias were raised again during jury selection. In every jury trial, both the Crown prosecutor and the defence can automatically reject a set number of potential jurors through what are known as peremptory challenges.
Stanley's lawyers used them to reject several Indigenous jurors.
But the deliberate and selective exclusion of jurors is not the only reason the Stanley jury – like so many Canadian juries – was all white.
Racial bias is baked into the jury selection process. Out-of-date, and inaccurate census information means that many potential Indigenous jurors' names are completely left of the jury rolls.
And then there are the practical barriers to jury duty. Some provinces disqualify people from jury duty for even the most minor of criminal records. When Indigenous people are stopped, charged and arrested by the police more often than non-Indigenous people, it means that they are more likely to be disqualified for a dated and minor criminal offence.
But this is no surprise, at least to anyone who had bothered to read former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci's 2013 report into First Nations representation on Ontario juries.
There is no question the justice system treats Indigenous people differently than white people. There is a disproportionately high number of Indigenous Canadians in our jails; they serve longer sentences; are held in higher security; and are less likely to be granted parole than white inmates.
This is not because Indigenous Canadians commit more crime than other Canadians, it's because of deep-rooted problems in the justice system.
I agree. But unlike you or I, Trudeau and Wilson-Raybould actually have the power to take meaningful action to fix this mess. That's what they promised to do during the 2015 election campaign.
Transformative criminal justice legislation was promised last winter, then again last spring, and then again last fall. We are still waiting.
Trudeau and Wilson-Raybould can start to fix this mess – they just need to tweet less and legislate more.

Syria News: Terror Attacks, Call for OPCW Transparency
November 30, 2019 Miri Wood Britain, France, Italy, Syria, Turkey, USA 5
Western colonial media currently wallows in the misery its politicians have brought to its populations while ignoring the misery it has brought to Syria. On the heels of British media erupting in righteous concern over the fate of ISIS terrorists in Syria, came the ISIS terror attack on London Bridge, complete with every imaginable quirks, including heroes with fire extinguishers and narwhal tusks, heroes in the form of a convicted murderer and a man walking from the scene carrying a clean knife.
Meanwhile, in Syria another car bomb was remotely detonated in downtown Ayn al-Arous south of Tal Abyad in Raqqa northern countryside, 30 November. The terrorist perpetrators are part of Erdogan's mercenary gangs. SANA has reported no details, simply that at least 13 persons were killed or injured in the massive explosion.
Two children, ages 8 and 9, were murdered by a landmine while grazing sheep in the farmland of Hosh Nasri village in the Douma area of Eastern Ghouta. Landmines left behind — and frequently buried in farmland — by fleeing terrorists remains an ongoing problem. Despite an MoU signed by the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) signed in July 2018, this group's best work involves Agnes Marcaillou keeping impressive stats on death and dismemberment, reported to the Security Council on a somewhat regular basis.
Speaking of Douma, H.E. Bassam Sabbagh addressed the 24th conference of the State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention in The Hague, 29 November and voiced his government's concern over the recent leaked "contents of correspondences of a member of the fact finding mission to the Office of the Director General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)…which unveil that the OPCW report misrepresented some of the facts on the alleged Douma chemical attack in Damascus countryside" 7 April 2018, which "was used as a pretext for the United States, France and Britain to launch their tripartite military aggression" against the Syrian Arab Republic.
Envoy Sabbagh called for transparency, and noted that the three countries are currently trying to keep a blackout on the leaked report.
To explain in non-diplomatic protocol, the OPCW — corrupt since its ejection of Jose Bustani, per the demand of Dick Cheney via neocon John Bolton — lied in its report on the Douma chemical hoax, in order to allow the war criminal states of the US, UK, and France to maintain their cover story for their illicit, breach of international law, bombing of Syria, based on the lies of al Qaeda terrorists who occupied Douma at that time.
One need only have looked at the video and still photographs provided by the terrorists, dutifully reported by transatlantic NATO stenographer journalists, to know that there were no chemical weapons used, that the human garbage committed a massacre of mostly women and children, so that the criminal tripartite aggressors would bomb Syria, as they had bombed Syria one year earlier, for al Qaeda occupiers of Khan Sheikhoun.

Paraphiliac affinity to corpses need not always be overtly sexual to be considered necrophilia.
One might also note the length of time between the investigations in Khan Sheikhoun and Douma, for the OPCW findings and also that investigators were too afraid of the various factions of al Qaeda in Khan Sheikhoun to enter, instead accepting fake evidence from the terrorists, and investigators on the ground in Douma, under the protection of the Syrian Arab Army.
Syria has begun participation in the meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), in Rome, to discuss means of combating terrorism in the region. This engagement may mean a breakthrough in return of normalized diplomatic relations between the countries; in February 2018, General Ali Mamlouk visited Rome to discuss security with top Italian officials, but this visit was not publicly acknowledged, by Italy.
SANA has announced a medical breakthrough by the neurosurgery team of the Ibn al-Nafis Hospital in Damascus, in using artificial bone created with 3D printing technology, to expand the cranium size of a patient. This was the first operation of this kind in the SAR.
Also on 30 November are reports of a Jarabulus car bomb detonation, along with its driver, euphemistically referred to as a "militant." Jarabulus, Syria, has been under the occupation of Caliph wannabe Erdogan thugs, since late 2016.

The usual suspects in war pimping journalism are so outraged by the 'incorrect' OPCW Douma report, they're now returning to lies they pimped, daily, after Syria requested an investigation (into the hoax). LL from WP tweeting that "military police kept a tight security perimeter around Douma's alleged chemical sites for days, providing access to a small number of apparently sympathetic journalists long before the OPCW were able to enter."

Q: Should a scheduled task remain in the "Running" state? I'm new to using the task scheduler and I'm using it to run a batch file provided online when the computer boots. I r-clicked it and told it to run. It did and all is fine, but the Status of the task is still "Running." I just want to make sure that's okay. Or since it's already done its job, should it end in some way?
The batch file mounts a network drive such that it can be used at the system level.
net use x: \\tplinklogin.net\volume2 /persistent:yes

A: The Task Scheduler window doesn't automatically refresh, which could lead you to believe it's still running. Clicking the Refresh link on the right side panel should hopefully show it change.

A: I had the same problem - the task worked but the status kept showing Running.  One simple thing to try is click on the Task Scheduler Library in the left column.  Click Action/Refresh.  Presto.  Status changed to Ready.  That's all it was for me, the task ran fine, just the status didn't update.  Hope this helps.

Q: How do i restrict the user input in ComboBox to only model data in SAPUI5 I have a scenario where i want to restrict user to only input text that is only loaded to the combobox as seen in this MultiComboBox example. [Take note that this is not my jsbin. please post your answer in this thread]
http://jsbin.com/sicixisozi/edit?html,js,output
in the above example, user is only allowed to enter characters that are present in the combobox, for example entering a 's' will prompt invalid entry and prevent user from typing. however, i'm not using the MultiComboBox but will be using the ComboBox instead and this function is not found in default SAPUI5 ComboBox
http://jsbin.com/xenidoh/embed?html,output
var mcb = new sap.m.ComboBox({

as seen in above example, user are not restricted and are able to input anything to the combobox. any suggestion how i could implement the same feature in MultiComboBox to the ComboBox?

A: on the change event of the combo box check that the oComboBox.getSelectedkey() is not null or empty. If it is empty, it means that the user hasn't selected a correct value and so return an error.
oComboBox.attachChange(function(oEvent){
          var newval = oEvent.getParameter("newValue");
          var key = oEvent.getSource().getSelectedItem();

          if (newval !== "" && key === null){
            oEvent.getSource().setValue("");
            oEvent.getSource().setValueState("Error");
          }else{
            oEvent.getSource().setValueState("None");
          }

      });

or if you are using XML views - add the function to the change=""
where oComboBox is your combobox.
http://jsbin.com/vupehukena/1/edit?html,output

A: Additionally, u dont have to take away user's right to type. If what (s)he types does not match any key in your list, U can just slap em with an error state:
onLiveValidate:function(oEvent){
        var oInput= oEvent.getSource();
        var bValid= !oInput.getSelectedKey();
        oInput.setValueState(bValid ? "Error":"None");

A Political Philosophy: Arguments for Conservatism
Bloomsbury 2006
What principles should govern our relations to the nation-state, to the environment, to other species, to other cultures and toother ways of life? How should we approach marriage, religion, evil and mortality?
How should we respond to relativism and nihilism in their current forms? What explains the rise of totalitarianism, and the fatal attraction that it exerts over the educated mind? What is Enlightenment, and what residue has it left in our view of ourselves? Those are some of the questions addressed by Roger Scruton in this scintillating book of philosophical reflections. Well known as a commentator, Roger Scruton makes no concessions to intellectual fashion, and is forthright in expressing what he believes and why he believes it. The result is challenging, but informed throughout by a humane and compassionate outlook. Scruton's targets are shown to deserve his sceptical assault on them, and the vision that he defends, of a society ordered by custom, tradition and national loyalty, is one that will appeal far more widely than to orthodox conservatives.
'What may be found here is a collection of acute observations about modern attitudes, arguments underming their essential assumptions, and references to the past which enable the reader to set moral and intellectual enquiry into a wide frame of reference.
The essays are certainly polemical, and are clearly intended to be; they are, however, elevated above the trivial rhetoric of modern politics, and achieve a distinction that is at once apparent and readily accessible.
His essays are prophetic assaults upon the superficial and false understandings inherent in the substitute morality now mandatory in modern materialist thought...there remains intellectual engagement of a high order.'

In light of TSHoTP, it's a little odd that the name "Dougie" doesn't ring a bell for Gordon, especially in connection with Garland Briggs. According to the book, Cole worked with Milford for years. Or maybe Gordon does make this connection, and that's why he becomes alarmed and says they have to talk to Bill?
Phyllis's role in everything is still tantalizingly unexplained. She knows DoppelCoop, and he seems to have somehow manipulated her; and in this Part, we learn that people in the Zone (Woodsmen?) ask Bill his wife's name.
I know a cat's eye is a type of marble. Does "dog" have some special meaning in marbles? I haven't been able to find one online. Is the "joke" simply that a dog ate Bill's marble (because dogs hate cats, har har?). Like many of Albert's lines this season, this feels like it's trying to be a lot more clever than it is, and I don't really buy it as a joke that impresses Albert. However, Jane Adams is absolutely charming, and her performance sells the moment even where the writing falls flat.
I really like the little detail that Betty says Garland held her shoulders when he told her what was going to happen. The very first time we see them in the Pilot, Betty is rubbing Garland's shoulders. This is a beautiful little parallel, intentional or (probably) not.
So Betty told Bobby that Cooper was the last person to see Garland alive. But then in this Part, she says Garland talked to her after Cooper left. Wouldn't that make BETTY the last person to see him alive? Hrrmm. (Of course, DoppelCoop likely saw him again the next day when LPA burned down, but Betty doesn't seem to know/suspect that.)
For an unseen/deceased character, Garland really has one of the most moving character arcs of this season. I had figured that TSHoTP was to be our goodbye to the good Major, but I'm delighted that DKL clearly had great affection for the character. While Garland was an original L/F Pilot creation, and had that brilliant character-defining moment in the diner scene in the DKL-directed Episode 8, he didn't truly come to prominence as a major character (no pun intended) until the latter part of season 2, which DKL had little involvement in creating, and may not have even fully watched! Garland's increased prominence in that era is pretty much the only element of Episodes 17-28 that is universally lauded as a solid development, and I'm so glad DKL saw fit to pay tribute to Garland, both as a key player in the show's mythology and as a kind beautiful human being and father. I know some people have said that Garland deserved better than to end up as a bloated, headless corpse repeatedly showed off in gruesome fashion. I think those people are ignoring the fact that the show -- and Part 9 in particular -- pay tribute to his bravery, intelligence and humanity (how beautiful that his message on how to get to the Lodge serves a triumvirate of purposes: it also reminds Bobby of happy childhood memories AND lets Bobby knows that his dad saw his future and is proud of him). When I listen to "The Chair" on the soundtrack album, I see not Betty or Bobby in my mind's eye, but Garland himself. The track's subdued majesty and quiet emotion suit his character perfectly. That is the series' true sendoff to the character, not the corpse.
(Little sidebar that may give a sliver of insight into DKL's love for the character, even very early on: Tina Rathborne says on the Episode 3 audio commentary that she planned to direct Garland's monologue to Bobby about death as if Garland were a stodgy, out-of-touch fool. DKL corrected her and explained that Garland is a very wise man.)
A little thing has bugged me since Part 9 first aired: there is a banner in front of Ike's motel for a Los Angeles event (Occidental College's "3rd LA" project -- see https://www.oxy.edu/news/third-la-annou ... rging-city). The "LA" on the sign is very prominent in the shot. When we first saw this establishing shot, I figured Ike is staying in LA when he first gets Duncan's envelope, but Part 9 makes clear that this motel is meant to be just off the Vegas strip. Stupid careless detail that could have been easily fixed in post.

Nice little self-effacing blooper DKL left in which I hadn't caught before: as Gordon exits the police station to join Diane for her smoke break, the door smacks him in the arm. He finishes his line with a smile like a true professional, aside from hitting the word "join" a little hard in surprise when he is struck.

Does anyone know if the Briggs home was shot in the same location as was used in FWWM/TMP? The "chair" room looks like it could conceivably be the same space as the room where Garland read the Bible to Betty, with a fireplace newly added.

It was definitely filmed in Washington state so there's a chance it's actually the same location.
This is - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee.

Something I noticed on the latest rewatch: the Au Revoir Simone song that starts off during Sky Ferreira's scene opens with the Be My Baby drumbeat. Twin Peaks wasn't the only return Sky Ferreira featured in during 2017 - she also sings on the Jesus & Mary Chain's comeback album Damage & Joy. The Jesus & Mary Chain's first album also opens with the Be My Baby drumbeat. Admittedly this is unlikely to be proof of some grand unifying theory and more likely to be a series of (slightly tenuous) coincidences, but at least it distracted me from that underarm rash.

this ould be, but i think Dougie Milford is certainly not a chracter Lynch would remember very well. he is very important to the overall narrative in TsHofTwinPeaks and Final Dossier but the series, not really at all (though having read and seen everything surely adds to the experience). so i think all of that stuff was Frost's take on the material (the two books) and Lynch's was of course te series. they are telling the basic same story closely, but Frost is explaining it a lot more and giving it more fan-service moments a long the way. I like both approaches, but i really noticed that for me, the best way to experience TP:TR if we're talkng about mythology is to watch FWWM, see Between Two Worlds, and read as many solid iternet discussions from the real fans. Mark and Daivid's workng relationship is one of the all time greats, imo.. the push and pull of what to put on screen. the series is more or less understanabde with the books but with them in place they become even more easy to penetrate and theoroize around.. Highly recomended it!

Reached this episode on my rewatch. I forgot how amazing it was! One of the best single episodes.
I'm now confused though. I've always assumed (and this episode sort of confirmed it) that Cooper killed Briggs, and the woodsmen that were accompanying him killed Ruth. In that case, shouldn't he already have the coordinates? Why does he need to hunt for them? Clearly the answer is that he didn't in fact get them "in the zone" and was still hunting for them, but in that case who killed Ruth?

It seems to me that someone took Ruth's body before Mr. C could get the coordinates, leaving him with only her head. The question is, who took it? "There were so many people there."
Presumably, most of the people there were Woodsmen. The relationship between Mr. C and the Woodsmen is so ambiguous to me. Sometimes they seem to be his allies, but they also seem to have their own agenda (they also appear to be allied with Jeffries, who gives Mr. C bad coordinates that would kill him).
Postby Poiuyt » Sat Jul 07, 2018 12:02 pm
As I understand it, Mr. C wanted multiple coordinates, so he DID get the ones from Ruth, one way or another (The Final Dossier seems to indicate that Tammy believed he got them in the Zone, but then why did "Diane" memorize them from Albert's photograph and text them to Mr. C?)

Glad I'm not the only one confused. I had missed the "multiple coordinates", but will reread the Final Dossier.
Am totally loving the series on my rewatch. I had already watched Parts 1-9 again, so they were quite fresh in my mind, but I had forgotten how good the next stretch was. Also, I had forgotten how much conventional material there was, and how the series actually did have a fairly sensible plot for most of its running (albeit an obscure one). Post-finale, it's only the strange metaphysical mystery that stuck in my mind.

I don't think there's anything in the series or TFD to indicate that the coordinates Mr. C is searching for are different from the coordinates Ruth & Bill were bringing to Briggs. If anything, every indication seems to be that they're the same.

looking for the same place, aware that people were gonna try to trick him, so more coordinates = better chance of getting the right ones

Ahh I see what you mean. I agree with that. I thought you were saying he was trying to get coordinates to multiple different "locations."

MOBILE, Alabama — Revisit the drama of high school in the musical "Fame," presented by Sunny Side Theater at the Murphy High School auditorium.
The play tells the story of a diverse group of classmates at a New York City performing arts high school. They dance, sing and act their way through high school as the class of 1984. The cast has high school students representing six area schools.
The 30-member, all-high-school cast includes Kate Teague as Carmen Diaz; Cassie Mahler as Serena Katz; Meagan Reynolds as Iris Kelly; Payton Reedy as Grace Lamb; Katie Kelly as Mabel Washington; Margie Powers as Goody King; Tim Aguirre as Nick Piazza; Gerald Archard as Tyrone Jackson; Colin Bodet as Joe Vegas; Alex Hall as Scholomo Metz; Sarah Pennington as Miss Sherman; Haley Horn as Miss Bell; Ann Claire Carnahan as Miss Myers and Katelyn Tucker as Miss Sheinkopf.
Sunny Side Theater collaborated with Brandy Brown Studio to help produce the show. Teague, who's been singing and dancing at the studio for many years and plans to major in music in college, said she enjoyed the friendships that formed while doing the show.
Other performers are Mary Hartley King, Gabrielle Picard, Mariah Stewart and Julian Truxillo. Singers include Quoizel Franklin, Verniecisha Glover, Mary Beth Sheffield, Victoria Taylor and Peyton Thomasson.
Dancers include Katherine Keeney, Elisabeth Nichols, Mary Alice Perez, Callie Robinson, Caroline Dickerson, Lydia Newton and Kendall Brown. The play's choreographer is Brandy Brown Pendleton and assistant choreographer is Lyndsay Mathis.
The play, conceived and developed by David DeSilva and Jose Fernandez, is rated PG-13 for mild adult language and content, said Paragone. The lyrics are by Jacque Levy and the music is by Steve Margoshes.
The play is the first all-high school production for the theater, Caten said. The musical numbers include chorus-type songs, duets and solos with back-up singing, he said.
The various songs give the play a nice '70s feel, Caten said. It allows the theater's older actors to participate in a real show that is not just a children's show.
"There is non-stop dancing and singing," added Caten. "It's going to be extremely entertaining."
