The current escalation between Israel and Islamist groups has once more led to antisemitic attacks against Jews in Sweden. This time, though, the front line is increasingly on social media sites.
Published in "Haaretz": https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/.premium-as-israel-and-hamas-fight-in-gaza-antisemitism-explodes-online-in-sweden-1.9828015?lts=1621540135520
STOCKHOLM – Thirteen-year-old Adam (not his real name) goes to a school in southern Stockholm. On Monday, a group of four or five boys who study in a parallel class approached him with an Israeli flag they had drawn, recounts his mother, who is of Jewish descent. "They then burned the flag in front of him. Later, the same boys – who come from an Arab background – drew another flag replacing the Star of David with a picture of human feces. 'This is your flag,' they shouted and stepped on it repeatedly," she tells Haaretz. After the incident, Adam's mother called the school principal, who told her he took the matter very seriously and would talk to the aggressors' parents and social services.
The end result was less than successful, however. The next day, the same boys attacked Adam at school again, calling him names and cursing him in Arabic. One of the teachers then advised him it would be best if he wore his shirt, which had a Star of David on it, inside out – just to be on the safe side. "Tomorrow," says Adam's mother, "he's staying home." As of press time, the school had not responded to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, a mother of an Israeli 12-year-old girl who studies at an international school in the capital told Haaretz that her daughter was saddened and shocked when a couple of fellow students – who saw a picture of an Israeli celebrity, Corrin Gideon, holding her baby and crying during a rocket attack – said to her provokingly: "Your homie is dead."

These are just a couple of the incidents that have surfaced in recent days concerning young Jewish people who have been threatened, attacked or harassed in the context of the latest conflict between Israel and Islamist militant groups in Gaza.
But even in more normal times, it's not a new phenomenon. A few months ago, a report from Malmö described the schools in Sweden's third largest city as an unsafe environment for Jewish students. The report, called "Schoolyard Racism, Conspiracy Theories and Exclusion," noted that Jewish students have to contend with verbal and physical attacks, antisemitic conspiracy theories, cries such as "Stingy Jew! I'll gas you!" and teachers who prefer to avoid confronting the aggressors.
According to Petra Kahn Nord, Sweden's representative at the World Jewish Congress, when it comes to the mainstream media and politicians, the Swedish reaction to the current flare-up is more balanced and nuanced than in the past, but schools and social media can still be violent environments. "The problem has existed for at least 20 years," she says, "but at least these days there's more awareness and a will to take action." Kahn Nord says the Malmö report is a step in the right direction, and similar reports should be published in other Swedish towns and cities. She adds, though, that "following the examination, there must be action too."

Kahn Nord is correct in observing that the discourse in the Swedish media and among politicians is more evenhanded compared to the 2014 Gaza war. Most Swedish politicians are more balanced when they talk about this conflict, including Foreign Minister Ann Linde who clearly condemned Hamas last week. And though anti-Israel demonstrations did take place in Sweden in recent days, they weren't as well attended as previous ones. Most participants were reportedly Swedish Palestinians, with far less mainstream political support than in the past.
When it comes to online antisemitism, however, the situation has worsened dramatically. Social media was far less prevalent in the last major skirmish seven years ago, so this presents new and complicated challenges that are not being addressed by social media companies.
One member of Sweden's Jewish community who's active in Jewish education and spoke on condition of anonymity, is in touch with Jewish youngsters and has been following social media in Sweden since the beginning of the latest flare-up.
"Swedish social media influencers have enormous power," he says. "They're followed by hundreds of thousands of young people – and especially by young girls. Since the recent round of violence started, I've seen many Instagram posts about the conflict that are shared by thousands of young people. These people may mean well and may want to identify with victims of war, but in reality they're unknowingly supporting terrorism and calling for the destruction of Israel by sharing slogans like 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and "With blood and fire we will liberate Al-Aqsa."
One Swedish influencer who attacked Israel is pop singer Zara Larsson. She has over 6 million Instagram followers and, after initially denouncing antisemitism, posted last week: "We must also hold accountable a state upholding apartheid and killing civilians, financed by American dollars." The post was subsequently deleted. Other examples include various local media and culture personalities who usually advocate LGBTQ rights and ethnic minority rights, and are now sharing conspiracy theories about Zionism. This phenomenon inspired an article in the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, titled: "Is antisemitism on its way to becoming 'woke'?"

The member of the Jewish community tells Haaretz that young Jews in Sweden are feeling under attack by social media influencers and their followers, who allegedly don't realize the antisemitic undertones and subtext in the material they're sharing. "Young Swedish Jews feel the whole world is against them and this is an experience which will have a very damaging effect on Jewish identity in Sweden," he says.
'Cut their heads off'
But Instagram isn't the worst corner of the internet when it comes to spreading hate toward Israel and Jews in Sweden: The popular social media platform Clubhouse has recently been exposed as a particularly aggressive source of incitement.
"Clubhouse is a social media platform where people meet and talk in virtual chat rooms," explains Adele Josephi, who was one of the Swedish journalists who exposed the content in interviews with two Swedish dailies. "It used to be a more exclusive form of social media, a kind of 'cool place to be,' since you had to be invited to join it. But it seems that's not the case anymore. People have left and many of those who still use it are people from the suburbs with an Arab immigrant background," she charges.
According to Josephi, since the beginning of the current conflict, "Israel chat rooms" have been opened and are home to extremely antisemitic content. "Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Clubhouse rules and restrictions are not enforced," says Josephi, who shared some of the recorded material and screenshots with Haaretz. "People can say anything in these forums, which can have over 100 participants. This includes threatening children, explicit violent expressions and racist language."
Some of the examples Josephi says she heard in the chat rooms include statements like "Brother, we'll take their Jewish kids and cut their heads off in Sergels Torg [Stockholm's main square]," rape threats against Jewish women and girls, and admiration for Adolf Hitler, promising to complete what he started. Josephi says she herself was harassed, attacked and threatened online and in phone calls following her speaking out on the subject.
Mathan Shastin Ravid of the Swedish Committee Against Antisemitism (SKMA) warns that "we are witnessing, once again, the surfacing of antisemitism in Sweden and other European countries as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict triggers prejudice, contempt and hate toward Jews. This affects everyone, including young people. It can be in schools but it's also online, where antisemitism spreads at great speed through social media and various apps."
Ravid believes IT companies "must take responsibility and stop the spread of hate on their platforms." At the same time, he adds, "incitement against ethnic groups and unlawful threats must be prosecuted," by the Swedish authorities.
The government and authorities are widely recognized as becoming more active in recent years in their efforts to address antisemitism. "I see a strong will to fight antisemitism within the government," says Kahn Nord, who's in touch with senior government officials. "The support for making Holocaust denial illegal and the international Forum on Holocaust Remembrance, which is scheduled to take place later this year in Malmö, show that the government takes the issue seriously and wants to do more. However, it remains to be seen what effect these steps will have," she says.

Against the backdrop of a surge of anti-Semitism in Sweden, a former neo-Nazi and a former Israeli teamed up to try and turn the tide.
Published in Haaretz: https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-what-drove-this-swede-to-quit-his-neo-nazi-cult-and-fight-anti-semitism-instead-1.8693123
STOCKHOLM – "I don't know if you know who I am, so I will start by pointing out that until about a year ago, I was an active member of the Nazi organization the Nordic Resistance Movement," the message that Carinne Sjoberg found in her email in-box last month stated, by way of introduction. Sjoberg, a former Israeli who lives in the northeastern Swedish city of Umeå, was surprised by the message from a local teenager named Hugo Edlund, but it was clear to her why she had been chosen to receive it. A resident of Sweden since the 1980s, she is a member of the city council of Umeå, a city of 90,000 people, only a few dozen of whom are Jews. About a decade ago, Sjoberg, who is a teacher by training, and several associates established a small Jewish cultural center in the city. The center conducted educational and other community activities with the aim of reviving Jewish life in the area and acquainting the local public with Jewish customs. Jews and non-Jews alike attended the events, which included activities to mark the Jewish holidays, dialogue encounters, lectures and exhibitions.
The center was a success, but at a certain stage, during 2017, it came under a shadow. It was here that Hugo Edlund entered the picture, albeit indirectly. "One day I found stickers pasted on the center's windows, with messages like 'Beware of mixing with foreigners,'" Sjoberg relates. "A photograph of Hitler covered the Star of David on the sign above the door. Afterward, people were observed taking pictures of the area in front of the center and of the cars in the parking lot. We took that as a threat. We didn't have a fence, there were no security guards. People began to feel stressed."
Behind the ominous activity was the Nordic Resistance Movement – and worse was to come, Sjoberg says. "They even got to my house. Flyers with quotes from 'Mein Kampf' appeared in my mailbox." In some cases, members of the neo-Nazi organization approached Sjoberg physically. In November 2017, she recalls, "when I concluded my remarks as the representative of the Jewish community in the memorial ceremony for Kristallnacht, I found myself surrounded by a human wall. Local politicians and others had formed a [protective] circle around me. At first, I didn't understand why, but then it turned out that neo-Nazis had been there all along. Afterward, a police vehicle began to follow me around."
Sjoberg, a member of the Liberals (a center-right party), says the developments did not frighten her, but attendance at the center dwindled: "Sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors said there was no one to protect them and simply stopped coming. Parents were afraid to send children, and some said that maybe we should lower our profile in order not to draw fire. My view was that there was no point to the activities if they had to be done in secret." In the end, in May 2018, Sjoberg says, it was decided to terminate the activity of the Jewish center. It was against this background that Hugo Edlund's email arrived. Even more surprising was how its text continued: "A while ago I decided to leave the organization, because I reached the conclusion that it is destructive and has elements of a cult. That is my past, and today I am ashamed of it." He added that even though he had not been involved in the activity against Sjoberg, he was distressed by the organization's actions and was now trying to change and to act more positively and productively. "My personal apology is the first thing I want to send," he wrote. "Besides that, I would like to know if you would agree to meet and talk." Sjoberg used her contacts in the local police and the municipal government to ascertain that Edlund's message was genuine and that she was not in danger. When she was satisfied with its authenticity, she accepted his invitation to meet.
"It was a good meeting," she says. "I had nothing personal against him. My heart ached for him and for the fact that there are so many others like him." Sjoberg says she learned from Edlund that the Nordic Resistance Movement, which is active not only in Sweden, but also in Norway and Finland, attempts to recruit teens from schools in Umeå. "They simply take advantage of their naivete," she says. "Hugo is a good boy, nice and not aggressive. The neo-Nazis find kids like that and recruit them into their ranks. The society turns a blind eye. In the end, if the adults don't address manifestations of anti-Semitism and [they continue to] ignore racism – it should be no surprise that youth are easily recruited into organizations like this."

'Grotesque "Holocaust" lie'
The Jewish community in Umeå is not an isolated case: The Jews of Sweden have been coping with overt anti-Semitism for the past decade. Some of the most widely reported assaults occurred in 2017: Molotov cocktails thrown at a synagogue in Gothenburg while a youth activity was underway inside, extreme anti-Semitic slogans shouted out during a pro-Palestinian rally in Malmö, and a march of neo-Nazis through the center of Gothenburg on Yom Kippur that year. Around the same time, firebombs were thrown at Malmö's Jewish cemetery, which had also been targeted in previous years, as part of a string of attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions in the city. The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention last year published a report on hate crimes in the country. In 2018, the report stated, there were 7,090 reported hate crimes (up 11 percent compared to 2016 and 29 percent more than in 2013). The biggest rise was recorded in anti-Semitic hate crimes: 280, a surge of 53 percent from 2016. In addition to actual cases of physical violence, many reports have recently appeared in Sweden about a threatening atmosphere, harassment and verbal abuse of Jews.
One case that was widely reported in the Swedish and international media involves a Jewish physician in Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. In an interview with Haaretz last week, the physician said that he and his Jewish colleagues suffered for years "systematic discrimination and injustice" from their department head: "The head of the department created a hostile working atmosphere, published anti-Semitic cartoons in the social networks and made anti-Semitic remarks in the workplace." The doctor also related that his superiors and other senior figures in Karolinska had tried to cover up the matter, a claim that was confirmed in January in a report issued by the Swedish Ombudsman's Office.
Additionally, on the "Big Brother" reality show here, two contestants were thrown off the program for expressing anti-Semitic sentiments during small talk about jobs. When one of them mentioned his Jewish boss; the other responded that she hated Jews. A third contestant, who wasn't removed, had tattoos of Nazi symbols. Concurrently, a neo-Nazi was sentenced to a six-month prison term for harassing two journalists and a senior lawyer and for sending threatening anti-Semitic messages to all three women. It's against this background that the neo-Nazi "Nordic Resistance Movement" ("Nordiska Motstandsrorelsen", or NMR, in Swedish) operates. Officially founded in 2016 on the basis of a previous organization, "The Swedish Resistance Movement", it is the latest in a chain of neo-Nazi movements and parties that have been active in Sweden since the 1930s. It is also active in neighboring Norway and Finland. The NRM proclaims admiration of Hitler, disseminates anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, uses Nazi terminology and cultivates hatred of a host of enemies: gays, migrants, Jews, Muslims and anyone who's suspected of advocating feminism, globalization, multiculturalism and democracy. Many in the movement have a history of violence, crime and prison time, but there's a political arm as well. The party received only 0.03 percent of the vote in the 2018 general election in Sweden, but two of its representatives won seats on two of country's municipal councils. In recent years, under the aegis of the laws of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly, the movement has held marches and demonstrations throughout Sweden. In many cases these develop into violent confrontations with the police and with counter-demonstrators.
Hugo Edlund, who's now 18, joined the movement when he was 15. His texts still appear in his name on the movement's website. At one stage he referred to those fighting against the organization: "This has included psychologists who try to 'cure' us of our worldview, police who play us films of the grotesque 'Holocaust' lie, interviews with social services, parents who arrange meetings with 'defectors,' Reds who leave us threatening messages, pressure from the Swedish Security Service, expulsion from the armed forces, and so on. The list is long" (from the organization's English language website). "At first, I didn't take an interest in ideology," he says now. "I was drawn to the visual side – the flags, the uniform, the shields. The struggle against the police also attracted us, and so did the fact that the organization had a lot of opponents. NRM members see it as a rebellious organization, interesting and cool, which is what made me and a childhood friend start to follow them."
What did you actually do in the movement? What is the character of the activity?
"The truth is that most of the time it's just sitting and talking. There's more internal than external activity. Every week there was a social encounter; we would meet in someone's house and talk. Once a month there was a meeting in the basement of the district chief, and many times afterward there was an activity such as a demonstration or handing out flyers. Sometimes we would read something or study the movement's platform."
The movement's platform explicitly invokes the term National Socialism and an array of symbols that are evocative of the 1930s. It is replete with racist doctrine (a call to limit immigration to "ethnic northern Europeans"), anti-Semitic conspiracy theories (the need for an all-out struggle against the "global Zionist elite"), Nordic nationalism (a call for unification of the Nordic countries and an immediate withdrawal from the European Union, which is considered an enemy of the people), evocations of fascism (a strong state for the people) and patriotic romanticism (preserving the Nordic essence, being in harmony with the laws of nature, doing compulsory military service and arming the general public).
How many of you were there, and what was your common denominator? Who were your partners in the activities?
"In our city, there were seven-eight active members, maybe 25 in the district. Most of them were older, there were only two women. There was a feeling of belonging and of deep partnership. There was an atmosphere that said we needed to defend ourselves, and of course not talk to the police. The district chief would laugh and say, 'If you talk to the police, we'll shoot you.'"

Did things become violent?
"I wasn't involved in violent incidents, but there were cases like that. Two of the older members, for example, were tried for assaulting someone – I think he was black. We talked about those things. For example, when someone from the movement beat up a 16-year-old boy in the election campaign, we talked about that in the meeting and praised him. "The first time I personally encountered a violent situation, I froze. It was in the Umeå Pride Parade, when we were attacked by activists from the other side. We told the police we didn't want to file a complaint – the word in the movement is that the police work in the service of the Jews."
What else did they say about the Jews?
"They talked a lot about the Jews. There are lots of conspiracy theories about how the Jews are promoting an agenda that is turning Europe multicultural and into a kind of 'bland bloc.' The idea was that the Jews want to mix the races, and in that way destroy the white race. They said that the Jews influenced society through their property – the banks and the media. There was also criticism of specific Jews. The moment a Jew was involved in something, there was prejudice [against him] and they looked for a hidden agenda. For example, they said that when the 'Jewess Carinne Sjoberg' whined and closed the Jewish center, the only reason she did it was to appear in the media."
Easily offended
"It is difficult to say with certainty how the level of anti-Semitism develops in Sweden," says Mathan Shastin Ravid, of the Swedish Committee Against Antisemitism. "Research on the subject is limited and we don't have extensive studies on the development of anti-Semitic notions and attitudes over time. What can be said is that anti-Semitism is more evident and more visible throughout society in recent years." He adds that studies show that many Jews in Sweden are loath to show signs of their Jewishness in public. No few Jews have encountered anti-Semitic incidents, he notes. "At the same time," he says, "awareness has risen. Anti-Semitism is more present in the public debate than it was 10 years ago. More decision makers and commentators refer to the subject and publicly condemn anti-Semitism, and that is important."
Still, many cases go unreported. Several months ago, a young Jewish woman from the south of Sweden opened an Instagram account in which young Jews in Malmö have shared their experiences. They tell about being cursed, spat at and threatened, receiving hate letters, finding swastikas painted on doors and walls, and in some cases being beaten. The assailants were often migrants or second-generation migrants from Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa. Periods during which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intensified were particularly prone to anti-Semitic hate crimes. But Malmö is not alone. "Get your stinking Jewish hands off my products," a saleswoman in a Stockholm store told a young Jewish man, according to his testimony. A young Swedish woman of Jewish origin noted that in a high-school history class, "when we talked about the Holocaust and the teacher said that the Nazis didn't succeed in annihilating all the Jews, I heard two of my classmates behind me whisper, 'Too bad.' One of them said another time that the Jews are disgusting and have to disappear from Sweden." A Jewish teacher in a school in southern Sweden recalls an email she received from her school principal. "The message contained an anti-Semitic caricature in which two Jews are shown killing a Christian child. I complained to my union, but nothing was done. The reaction of other staff members was a thunderous silence, and in the end the principal also canceled the funding for one of my projects." When the teacher called her union's headquarters in Stockholm, the response was disappointing: "You Jews are quick to take offense," the official on the phone said. "What do you want, money?"
According to Mathan Shastin Ravid, physical danger for Jews in Sweden definitely exists, primarily from the far-right movements and from radical Islamists. At the same time, anti-Semitic viewpoints, anti-Semitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories are infiltrating broader circles of society. "It is important to understand that anti-Semitism is not only present on the extreme political margins," he says. "It is also present in society's mainstream. It's more common than people think it is and it should be taken very seriously." The Swedish government maintains that it is committed to combatting anti-Semitism. Recently, the government has indeed supported educational and cultural activities, as well as public diplomacy, on the subject, and upgrading the ability of the law enforcement system and the police to combat racist organizations and ensure the security of institutions that are liable to be victimized by hate crimes. Symbolic measures are also being taken. For example, members of the Swedish parliament visited Auschwitz, and the country's education ministry is cooperating with Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, on developing curricula.
Nevertheless, the problem remains far from being resolved. On the last International Holocaust Day, this past January, Carinne Sjoberg organized an event for ninth-graders in Umeå. The event itself has been held for a number of years, with the participation of about a thousand students and teachers. There are talks and speeches, along with other content related to the Holocaust and its lessons. This year, Sjoberg encountered students who laughed, made retching noises and cursed during the event. "When I began my remarks, they interrupted so much that I couldn't finish speaking," she relates. "No one did anything, and the event was simply halted. Even worse, some local politicians said that maybe the event shouldn't be held in the future, since it makes the young people behave like that. Some of the teachers also don't want it anymore, because it's a lot of work and is quite costly. I find that hard to accept.
"First they caused the Jewish center to shut down, and now they'll terminate this educational project, too? That will be another victory for the neo-Nazis, while the city's leadership behaves like the three monkeys: See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing."
Hugo Edlund's period of membership in the Nordic Resistance Movement drew to an end in 2019. "In the past two years, two indictments were filed against me," he relates. "One was for a hate crime because of things I circulated against Jews on Twitter. I was sentenced to community service work for youth and a fine. The second time I was convicted of a hate crime and also for graffiti – I spray-painted swastikas and symbols of the movement in different places in the city. I was sentenced to community service work and a fine again, plus payment of compensation."
Edlund during his NRM days.
You were still a minor then, living with your family. How did your parents react?
"I didn't tell them that I was a member of the Nordic Resistance Movement. They found out by surprise when I took part in activity against the Gay Pride Parade in Luleå [a small city in northern Sweden]. They knew about my opinions and my ideology, but not about my connection with the organization. One of my older brothers broke off relations with me, and the family was confused and didn't know what to make of me. My parents tried everything. They tried to cut off the internet, to prevent political conversations in the house and to stop me from going to activities. But it came to a point where they simply despaired, because they felt there was nothing they could do."
What finally made you decide to leave?
"It was a lengthy process, with all kinds of stages. For example, when the police came to my house at 5 A.M. to do a search. I realized that I didn't have a regular life, I didn't feel good, there was a social stigma on me and I wasn't doing the things a regular person does. It was like living in a bubble. I didn't go to school; I tried to work, but I left that, too, and I stopped even caring about the money. My whole focus was on the movement. "There are stages in membership in an organization like that. The first stage takes you from online activity alone to active membership, and in the second stage you become more extreme. It's a destructive environment, and there's a good chance you'll start committing crimes and closing off doors to yourself. Gradually you lose friends, job possibilities and studies. In the end I understood that and I decided to leave."
Edlund's friends, in particular two who were close to him and whom he had recruited to the movement, reacted aggressively to his departure. One evening last October they came to his house and hit him during an argument about returning the movement's uniform. Two months later, the two were tried for assault and convicted, sentenced to do community service work and ordered to pay compensation to Edlund – who is aware that his former comrades might go on persecuting him. Still, he is determined to embark on a new path. "Now I am completely free of that past," he says. "I am finishing my schooling. I am also working on a project, in cooperation with Carinne. The project is about the far right, and that is also what I want to do in the future. I want to make a contribution to society and I don't want other young people to follow the same path that I once did." Edlund has passed on information about the Nordic Resistance Movement to an NGO that monitors and analyzes the activity of extreme-right movements in Sweden. His aspiration is to work with youth and contribute to the efforts to prevent radicalization. His meeting with Carinne Sjoberg, following the message he sent, was only the first. They are now in regular contact and are both participating in the struggle against racist political extremism and against anti-Semitism in Sweden. "It's not a struggle for the sake of the Jews alone," Sjoberg says. "It's a battle for democracy that's important for everyone. It's a struggle for the right to be what we want to be and to live the life we choose to live."

People Seize Castlebar Court After Judge Flees

Integrity Ireland members attempt to place judge and garda superintendent under citizens' arrest
This morning's sitting of Castlebar Court today was adjourned just before midday as members of Integrity Ireland requested to place Judge Kevin Kilrane and prosecuting Superintendent Joe McKenna under citizens' arrest.
Stephen Manning and Colm Granahan both of Integrity Ireland had been taking a private criminal prosecution of County Registrar Fintan Murphy. The Garda Sergeant who starred in an I-I all-action video clip in March had also been summoned to appear as a witness - for the prosecution.
Well, history was made today.. but it wasn't all good. The case against Garda Sgt Hanley was thrown out on a technicality, and 'papers' were 'served' on Colm late last night purporting to be a High Court Order preventing the hearing vs Registrar Fintan Murphy going ahead.. This sets a very dangerous precedent - when a valid prosecution can be stopped even before it has begun (the first time in the history of the State) - and where legitimate summonses are completely ignored by the accused!
(Apparently - those rules only apply to us!) There were so many barefaced breaches of the law and Court rules today as to beggar belief! The whole set-up was so obviously contrived that the judge was openly jeered at and ridiculed by the public for the best part of an hour..
Here is a very tame account of what transpired.. The part that the reporter DIDN'T see was when we (the public present) nominated our own judge (video footage to follow soon), who duly took her seat on the bench and continued with business..

"correct court deportment
author by Sam's cousin
In the YouTube sequence the 'judge' did not wear a robe or wig to signify that she was a judge. Are we supposed to view this takeover of an empty court seriously? The Gardai obviously didn't and engineered a bogus fire alarm.
No wig or Robe is required to hear evidence and make a ruling based on that evidence.
The very fact that you seem to think the addition of a stupid Horse-Hair Wig and some bit of black cloth worn as a "Robe" are somehow required to in order weigh evidence shows just how deeply you have fallen for their little "legal" [NB: not "Lawful"] charade.
The fact that the Gardai decided to engineer a false fire alarm - by their own rules an obvious act of crime in itself - is evidence enough that there is a charade taking place.
A shell-and-pea game
The painting below accurately displays a performer doing the cups and balls routine, which has been practiced since Egyptian times. The shell game does have some origins in this old trick.
The real trick of this painting is the pickpocket who is working for the conjurer. The pickpocket is robbing the spectator who is bent over.

Has a lot been left out of this story?

"In courtroom 1, Judge Kevin Kilraine was asked to issue a warrant for the arrest of two individuals who should have been present – namely, County Registrar, Fintan Murphy, and Garda Sergeant Peter Hanley.
Judge Kilraine refused, and tellingly, he would not give an explanation.
He would not, or could not, answer as to why these two persons did not attend the court.
However, if you or I had been subpoenaed, as these two individuals were, we are under an obligation to attend. Indeed, we actually have no choice – we have to. If we don't, the sitting judge would issue an order for our arrest.
But, in this case, this did not happen.
Absolutely. Which makes this a very strange story. I can't imagine that a judge would issue a subpoena, the subpoena having been served, and then ignore when the persons did not show up in his or her court. So OK, please fill in the details for us.
a) who was the judge who issued the subpoensa? sitting in what court? I would think it VERY unusual for a judge to issue a subpoena for a case in a different court.
b) subpoenas duly served?
Private prosecutions are VERY difficult. Without ANY cooperating judges/magistrates, I would say impossible. A subpoena is a perfect example. You need somebody to issue it (service can be private; usually is in many civil cases --- it's what "process servers" do)

This is taken from https://thegubugazzette.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/histor...king/ which is a good account of what happened.
Castlebar District Court was the place to be today, for what was witnessed was a spark on the verge of bursting into an almighty flame.
In courtroom 1, Judge Kevin Kilraine was asked to issue a warrant for the arrest of two individuals who should have been present – namely, County Registrar, Fintan Murphy, and Garda Sergeant Peter Hanley.
The question is, why?
It doesn't take a genius to work that out – both of these individuals are employed by the State, for the State.
If Judge Kilraine had issued the warrant this would bring down the State corruption, in turn showing the judicial collusion, along with its policing to its core.
What Judge Kevin Kilraine chose to do instead, was to protect corruption, but the people in this public courtroom didn't like this, or want this – not one little bit.
Judge Kilraine blatantly showed that the rule of law for one, is different for another.
Gradually, the public gallery got more stirred up. They sat up and listened intently to what was going on. Even the guys that were there on whatever charges were looking around enthralled, and were whispering excitedly, 'what is going on'?!
What was going on, and Kevin Kilraine knew it, is the beginning of the end of the justice system in this country as we know it. And he fought it.
The longer he spoke nonsense, the more incensed the people got. And yet, this judge kept distorting and kept suppressing.
People began to call 'stand down' from across the room. Others began to snigger.
Slowly and cautiously, the eyes of the solicitors, and some of the Garda present, began to avert, then lower, until some of their heads were bent.
It was shameful, and it felt dirty to be in a room with a judge, purporting to be fair, lawful, just and equal, when clearly, he wasn't.
It was even more shameful to be in a room where this judge was placed under citizens' arrest, and where our police force would not uphold their oath and do their job.
It took the people in the public gallery to do that. The stronger they became, the weaker Judge Kilrane got. His sitting ended with him, abandoning and surrendering his courtroom.
Instead, he continued sitting in his private chamber, a chamber that the public is not privy to.
Questions need to be raised here – how does the public learn if a miscarriage of justice has occurred if a case is being heard behind closed doors? Judge Kilraine cannot do this – it is not legal.
The excitement this morning in Castlebar, ended coincidentally with the fire alarm going off, not once, but twice.
Not one person left – not even the police. The fire brigade arrived, and asked people to leave. Some asked the firemen as to where was the fire, to which there was no reply.
As time went on, the official line that was given was that a person had lit a cigarette – in a cell. A cell, which one would imagine, was being guarded by the police.
Yet, astonishingly, in between the fire alarms, for the first time in decades, it was put democratically to the people to vote for a judge to sit in courtroom 1 – the same courtroom that Kevin Kilraine had abandoned.
Today, in Castlebar, ordinary, yet, extraordinary people made history – they voted for a 'true' judge. A judge with vision, a judge who upholds the law, and a judge who treats all as equals.
This historic day will create ripples that will spread throughout this country, and when the ripples take hold, the flood will come.
That spark that has ignited, has taken hold, and it is there for the people to keep.
There is no threat that any corrupt institution of this country, let alone the judicial arm, will have the strength to wrench that fire and fearlessness from the people.

Send Flowers for Helen
Helen Diane (Campbell) West
March 3, 1944 ~ November 10, 2020 (age 76)
Helen Diane West, age 76, passed away November 10, 2020 at her home in Waxahachie, Texas.
Diane was born March 3, 1944 in Dallas, Texas. Survived by husband Jerry Doyle West of Waxahachie, Texas; daughter Debbie Renee West of Arlington, Texas; son John William West, daughter-in-law Angie West, granddaughter Caroline Elizabeth West, grandson Jonathan Daniel West of Waxahachie, Texas; sister Kathy Campbell of Dallas; and many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family.
She is preceded in death by parents Earl and Helen Campbell and sister Peggy Durrwachter.
Diane grew up in Duncanville, where the family kept horses. She often rode in parades and competed in barrel racing competitions.
Diane graduated from Duncanville High School in 1962. She went on to Arlington State College, now the University of Texas at Arlington, and earned a Bachelor's degree in English in 1966.
Diane and Jerry married on February 17, 1967 at the First Baptist Church in Duncanville, Texas. They celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary in 2020. Her employment history included the Dallas City Library, First National Bank of Dallas and Merrywood School of Duncanville. Her longest employment was as an administrative assistant for the Duncanville Fire Department where she worked for over 20 years and retired in 2003.
Diane was an experienced sewer and enjoyed quilting. She was an active member of the Farley Street Quilting Club that created quilts for shut-ins and nursing home residents. During her retirement years, she and Jerry traveled frequently to many U.S. destinations including New England, Niagara Falls, the Southwest, Montana, California and Alaska. But she especially loved her home where she gardened, entertained family and friends and spoiled her grandchildren.
During their marriage, she and Jerry enjoyed membership in the Western Music Association and traveled nationally promoting Western music as a musical genre. Through their active involvement in Western music, they became friends of the Roy Rogers family and other entertainers and enthusiasts.
Diane maintained loving relationships with her Duncanville 1962 classmates throughout her life, in addition to Jerry's Cedar Hill High School class of 1960.
The family would like to thank all of the support, love and help from family and friends who called, sent cards, brought food, visited, prayed and supported them over the last weeks and months. A special thanks to Larry and Edina Hintze and the rest of their 1960 school classmates.

Tucson in 1925 was a frontier town: The first Tucson Rodeo was held in the middle of Prohibition. With so many visitors expected, decisions were made to clean up the town. Arizona State Prohibition Director Frank Pool led a force of federal officials to town two weeks prior to the rodeo. The Arizona Daily Star reported that 25 stills were captured and an estimated 300 gallons of moonshine destroyed. T-bone steaks sold for .27 a pound. A Stetson hat cost $8. Prizes at the 1925 Rodeo Parade included a 750-lb. block of ice, 100 lbs. of potatoes and a "Big Cactus" ham.

You can follow Agata on the links below. She does mainly commsioned pieces now and her work is absolutely stunning. http://agatasartcorner.com/
I'm working on a commissioned piece of an Audi R18, which is going to be huge – 72"x48". I'm also working on a painting for my mom that of a scene of a boat on a shore. And I have at least 15 paintings that I've started and never completed because they are stuck in that middle phase of painting that hopefully one day I will feel inspired to finish.
Lastly what do you when you aren't working or making amazing art?
Outside of working and painting I like to do something outdoors and/or active everyday. I do a lot of biking, running, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, squash, volleyball, and the list goes on. I also love spending time with the people I love. I'm a huge fan of comedy, whether it's stand-up, or conveniently sitting in a coffee shop next to a couple on their first date. Anyone who knows me will also probably tell you that I love hanging out with my dogs the most, and they wouldn't be wrong.
If you won the lottery what would you do with the money?
First I would travel the world for about a year. Then probably get a farm so that I can rescue a ton of dogs, and become a crazy dog lady who paints.
Who are your favourite Artists right now?
My favourite artists right now are Leonid Afremov and my dad. Afremov's paintings are incredible and I love his use of colour. My dad is a super talented carpenter and makes the most creative things out of seemingly nothing. For example, he recently took down an old fence at my brother's house and built over 100 bird houses out of that wood. No two were identical
How long does it take you to complete the average piece and what is your usual process?
It can take me anywhere from a week to a year, depending on my motivation and the pressure being put on me (i.e., a deadline like someone's birthday, when it is a commissioned piece). My usual process is to roughly paint the whole background first, then sketch out a rough idea of the actual focal points using chalk (easy to erase). Then I will usually procrastinate for a really long time, until eventually starting to build up the painting. The mind games are the worst. initially, I always think "I love painting, painting is awesome", then the middle stages are rough and the mind game becomes "I suck at this, this looks awful, and I should just give up." But once I get through that and it starts to look like the image in my head, I feel like a million bucks and the thoughts return to "I love painting, painting is awesome" again. This happens with every single painting so pushing through those middle stages is easy when I have a deadline, harder when I don't.
What was your first piece?
My first painting on a canvas was a Bob Ross one of a mountain view, where I used undiluted oil paint (because I didn't know you can't just squeeze it out of the tube). It took at least a year to dry. I still have it somewhere at my parents' house.
What age do you feel right now and why?
I feel about 26 (I am 29). 30 seems like a big deal and I don't feel like I am there yet, but I am definitely feel much more mature than when I was 21. Most of my friends around 30 are engaged/married and doing the whole adult thing so I feel slightly behind there, but I am also in no rush to join them in that club yet.
Agata Lawrynczyk is a talented Ottawa based Artist. I had the pleasure of working with her at the Royal Canadian Mint, which is were I found out she was an extremely skilled artist, while she was studying at the University of Ottawa in Biomedical Mechanical Engineering. Since that time she has moved on to another job but I was fortunate enough to have purchased two amazing pieces.
What got you interested in doing art?
Art was never something that I consciously made a decision to do. It was always just a normal part of my life, since as far back as I can remember. My mom told me that when I was a little kid, people would often give me dolls as gifts (because girls love dolls) and one time I said to her "But what am I supposed to do with these things? I like to create things." From then on, I would get art supplies/kits as gifts and I was obsessed with each and every one. It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I made a website and starting coyly selling my artwork and then it just grew from there.
What does a perfect day look like to you?
A perfect day for me includes painting, coffee, wine, and spending time outdoors with people I love, and especially my two dogs.
My inspiration can come from just about anywhere. When I was in university and stressed out over exams, I often painted a lot of dark paintings, with a light in the background (my "light at the end of the tunnel"). Lately, about 90% of my paintings are commissioned ones so the client tells me what it is that they want so less opportunity to be inspired. But otherwise, it will come from experiences or things that I see and hear.

The state of franchising in Australia
Written on the 22 October 2013
More Australians than ever are embracing the freedom offered by franchising to run their own businesses with minimal risk and access to a dedicated support network.
Conducted by the Asia-Pacific Centre for Excellence in conjunction with Griffith University and Franchise Council of Australia, the annual Franchising Australia report reveals that the franchising sector is enjoying steady growth.
Recovery and growth
Franchising was affected along with many industries during the GFC between 2008 and 2010, but it has experienced strong recovery and net growth since then. In 2012, franchising in Australia accounted for:
1180 business formats (up from 1025 in 2010)
73,000 franchise units (4 per cent increase)
$131 billion sales turnover
Of the franchisors surveyed, half reported improved sales, profits and gross revenue margins compared to the previous year a trend that shows no signs of slowing. While 28 per cent of franchises provide international services, 92 per cent were developed here in Australia.
Most successful franchises
In 2012 the largest franchise industries were:
Retail (27 per cent)
Accommodation (18 per cent)
Food (18 per cent)
Administration/support (16 per cent)
The continuing growth of franchising has been credited in large part to non-retail industries, which expanded from an average of 15 franchised units in 2010 to 17 in 2011. Online services and eCommerce also achieved above-average growth, with nearly 40 per cent of franchise systems offering online sales to clients. However, eCommerce still accounts for less than 5 per cent of sales overall, though this figure is expected to increase every year as more businesses migrate online.
The employee dissatisfaction that characterised many industries during the GFC is continuing to motivate people to look to franchising as a desirable alternative, for the greater freedom and increased security it offers compared to starting a new business from the ground up. Franchising is also a growing source of employment, with over 400,000 Australians directly employed by franchises in permanent full-time, part-time and casual positions.
The future of franchising
The rise of eCommerce and the non-retail sector in particular is expected to continue driving the growth of franchising in the years ahead, which is an ideal fit for online services. The franchise sector contributes more to the Australian economy than other areas of small business, which will continue to attract investment from entrepreneurs, established businesses and government, and franchises with strong environmental credentials will be viewed more positively.

Dentistry was not so popular in the earlier times until the concept of cosmetic surgery came into existence. While most of the traditional dentistry mainly focuses on the oral hygiene and preventing dental problems, cosmetic dentistry aims in improving your smile, teeth and the total dental structure of the mouth. Precisely, dental treatments include restorative, cosmetic laser and emergency dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry allows you to choose your treatment methods according to your wish.
Cosmetic surgery blends both innovation and science. It is a branch of dentistry that blends both creativity and science. It mainly deals with improving the appearance of the teeth. It changes the teeth color and alters the shape and structure of the teeth set. It emphasizes on the functionality and health of the teeth. This type of dentistry involves family dentistry and restorative advantages as well. For example, dental fillings are one of the common treatments that fall under cosmetic dentistry. In previous years, dental fillings are made up of the amalgam or other metals. But in the recent days, porcelain fillings are becoming significant. These types of dental fillings go with the color of the teeth.
People are choosing cosmetic dentistry for several reasons. Some of them love to look younger as cosmetic treatments are just similar to the face-lifting procedures. Cosmetic procedures like the porcelain veneers, crowns, and teeth whitening methods can reverse your teeth aging process. Those who have unattractive and yellow teeth they also prefer cosmetic methods for whitening the surface of the teeth. Some people feel uncomfortable to smile properly. Due to the advancement of latest technology and science, people are taking help of the surgeons who are expert in cosmetic surgeries.
There are numerous advantages of cosmetic dentistry making it popular among the patients. It improves your self-confidence and satisfies their dental requirements. If you have yellow teeth, your smile will be uncomfortable for you and for those who are seeing you. Cosmetic treatments not only cure your dental and oral problems, but also improve your smile quality. The benefits are both physical and psychological in nature. There are few patients who are not satisfied with cosmetic dental surgeries. The results are always fruitful and painless at the same time. Problems with broken and chipped teeth are managed by the porcelain veneers and dental implants.
Cosmetic dentistry gives the patient a refreshing, beautiful and youthful appearance and also treats all the oral problems as well. This treatment also improves the physical appearance and boost up self-confidence. Cosmetic surgeries are long lasting and permanent. Once you have done the cosmetic surgery, you can become stress-free for the whole life.
Cosmetic dentistry is becoming a well-known dental procedure among the patients. Most of the orthodontists are choosing this treatment for curing the dental and oral problems. Cosmetic surgeries include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, composite bonding and dental implants.
Author's bio: James is a renowned blogger and writes articles on various dental surgeries. He suggests the patients to visit one dentist in West Palm Beach for taking best dental consultation.

UN Secretary-General announces a discussion on nuclear energy in September
Geneva – The international community must "risk proof" development because disasters are taking a heavy toll on rich and poor countries as well as outpacing their ability to respond, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told delegates today, at the foremost gathering of stakeholders on reducing disaster risk which opened this afternoon in Geneva and will run until Friday, 13 May.
Drawing from the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2011, Revealing Risk, Redefining Development which was launched at the Global Platform today, the Secretary-General said: "It shows that as countries invest more in early warning and preparedness, mortality risk from floods and cyclones is trending down. At the same time, economic loss and damage to homes, schools, health facilities and livelihoods are on the rise."
Delegates from 175 Governments and over 176 regional and national organizations -- making up an estimated 2,300 participants -- are participating in the week-long Third Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, managed by the United Nations secretariat for the International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). UNISDR was established in 2000 by the General Assembly.
The Global Platform is the main forum on disaster risk reduction bringing together a wide cross-section of the worldwide disaster risk reduction community every two years, including senior ministers, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations, scientific and technical experts, and others. Under the slogan "Invest Today for a Safer Tomorrow - Increase investments in Local Action," the event will focus on the links between the rising cost of disasters, how local communities adapt to climate change and the status of poverty eradication efforts before the 2015 deadline for both Millennium Development Goals as well as the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA).
In 10 years UNISDR has built support for disaster risk reduction in major international agreements, including the Cancun climate change agreement in December 2010. The secretariat is headed by the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction, Margareta Wahlström, whose focus is on solidifying political support for risk reduction from the highest levels of government.
"Governments are already involved in their own risk management efforts, as shown in our mid-term review review of the HFA published in March," explained Ms. Wahlström. "What is needed now is a big push for countries to act together, because one country's policies can affect other nations in ways that we cannot predict perfectly. A disaster in one part of the world can have great effects across the globe, whether it is a tsunami in Asia that damages important infrastructure, or a bad flood in Australia that halts economic production that is vital to other countries."
At the end of the four-day conference, the Platform will issue an agreed Chair's Summary which will include a communiqué and a plan of action. What is expected is strong call for mobilization around a new international blueprint for disaster risk reduction, after HFA – expires in 2015 as well as political support to propel risk reduction into the sustainable development framework. A notable difference from previous Global Platforms is the chair of the 2011 Platform, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro, signalling the rising stature of disaster risk reduction within the Organization and its now obvious link to development.
Ms. Migiro will preside over three key plenary sessions: "Invest today for a safe tomorrow – increase investment in local action"; "The economics of disaster – effective financial instruments to reduce risk"; and "Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction."
The question of nuclear energy safety, on most people's minds after a powerful earthquake rocked a Japanese nuclear power plant on 11 March, was the subject of discussion among high-level United Nations officials at a pre-opening session at noon on the first day, attended by the Secretary-General. The conference was then officially opened by the United Nations Secretary-General and World Bank Managing Director Sri Mulyani Indrawati, in recognition of the major role played by the Bank at the Global Platform this year, which has organized a unique event within the Platform -- the World Reconstruction Conference.
Other events slated for the four-and-half-day conference include:
• Ten Roundtables. The topics are: Preparedness; Ensuring a Return on Investment in Local Action; Addressing Wildland Fire Risk; Public Investment – Where Disaster Risk Reduction Really Makes a Difference; Engaging the Private Sector; Managing Watersheds for Urban Resilience; Children for Resilience; Making Disaster Risk Reduction Gender Sensitive; Safety Nets for Disaster Risk Reduction; and Mountains of Risk.
• Six Featured Events. The topics are: Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction; Dialogue with Parliamentarians and Mayors on Disaster Risk Reduction: From Policy to Local Action; Education and Safe Schools; Natural Hazards, UnNatural Disasters – Economics of Effective Prevention; Protecting Public Health from Disaster Risks; Operational Climate Services for Managing Socio-Economic Risks linked to the Changing Climate.
• Sasakawa Award for Disaster Risk Reduction, prize-giving ceremony. Announcement of winners for the UN-Sasakawa Award for Disaster Risk Reduction, an award for innovative DRR programmes.
• 24 Side Events, which topics ranging from "Integrated Drought Risk Management" to "Risk Identification and National Capacity to Manage Risk"
• A market-place featuring more than 30 booths/exhibits from ISDR partners.

I have been having computer issues so much lately… -_-0 It makes it super frustrating to try and edit and upload photos, but FINALLY I am all caught up!
Koh Phi Phi is a real party island. It was completely crazy, and this is the rainy season! I can't even imagine what it must be like in the high season. We had a great time hanging out at the beach, eating so many noodles and sea food. The food was amazing.
We didn't stay in a super fancy hotel (Arboreal Resort), but it was clean and close to everything you could want on Phi Phi. Walking there from the ferry docks, no one knew where it was so we wandered around for a long time before finding it. The only thing that we didn't like was all the stairs leading up to it!! After the couple hours long ferry ride and no sleep, the stairs were a real challenge. With all of the eating and drinking we were doing it probably was necessary.
We drank a lot of fresh juice and smoothies from little stands here and there. The fruits are so fresh. My favourite juice was the "happy buffalo" which was a more like a smoothie of lime, apple, and mint. So unexpected and yummy! I will have to try to recreate it.
Also if you go to Phi Phi Don Beach at night there are fire dancers outside all of the beach bars. Consider yourself warned, if you volunteer to dance with them you might get burnt, but my friend Caitlyn managed to make it out unscathed. Seems especially dangerous after drinking the "buckets": a children's sand bucket, full of booze and two cans of pop. People carry them around on the beach, sipping on them — hopefully — all day long, but something tells me it goes down a little faster than that.
I didn't have the courage to participate in the fire dancing, and was basically panicky the whole time thinking Caitlyn's big curly hair was going to be singed at any moment. Don't laugh so hard… another woman who volunteered did end up with her hair getting a little crispy!

SANS any fanfare, the Philippine Tennis Academy (PTA) has been conducting tournaments and clinics with the primary objective to reach the top 10 in the International Tennis Federation junior rankings.
Organized last year by tennis lovers led by businessman Jean Henri Lhuillier, Oscar Hilado, Rommie Chan and Hanky Lee, they formed the PTA to provide the opportunity for underprivileged players in the countryside and help them out of poverty.
Former national players Felix Barrientos and Raymund Suarez also pitched in their share and helped train young PTA talents.
The first group of trainees included Roxanne Resma of Cagayan de Oro, Anthony Craig Pantino of Cebu, Khim Iglupas of Iligan and Tami Nguyen of Muntinlupa.
To keep the identification program going, the PTA has already created four satellite centers to serve as sources of fresh talents in Davao, Cagayan de Oro, La Carlota and Bais.

KUALA LUMPUR: An LRT user who barged his way onto a train at Taman Jaya station this morning says he saved almost 2 seconds off his normal 20-minute journey by pushing on just as the doors opened and before others could get off.
"I would have saved more time but kiasu people always crowd the doors and start pushing onto the LRT before I can get off," the man lamented despite doing the exact same thing himself when he boarded the train.
The man urged other passengers who aren't him to try waiting a few seconds standing to the side as the train doors open, giving him a chance to disembark.
Experts have confirmed the likelihood of you getting a seat is 2% greater if you barge onto trains without waiting, making the risk of inconveniencing and injuring others completely worth it.

"Cruel Intentions" Lives and Breathes 90s Nostalgia
Christian Lewis, Contributor
Theater critic. Queer activist. Author & publisher.
12/11/2017 09:29pm EST | Updated December 12, 2017
There's something about the 90s that just won't go away, and maybe we never want them to. The "Cruel Intentions" musical is now in its third incarnation, this time downtown in the Village at (le) poisson rouge. It opened on Monday, December 11th in a limited engagement running through early 2018. The musical is based on the 1999 movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair which was inspired by the 1782 French novel Dangerous Liaisons. Back in the 90s the film somehow managed to adapt the pre-French Revolution novel of sexual scheming and excess into the world of New York City teenagers at an elite high school. Despite the complete lack of parallels and confusing plot of the source material, it completely worked--and now it works again as a musical. The musical was adapted by Jordan Ross, Lindsey Rosin, and Roger Krumble and is directed by Lindsey Rosin.
The musical follows step-siblings Sebastian (Constantine Rousouli) and Kathryn (Lauren Zakrin) as they make wagers about if Sebastian can sleep with Cecile (Jessie Shelton), the new girl at school, and Annette (Carrie St. Louis), the headmaster's virginal daughter. To complicate the mix we have the gay friend Blaine (Alex Boniello), his secret football-playing boyfriend Greg (Brian Muller), Cecile's black music teacher Donald (Matthew Griffin), and her uptight racist mother (Patricia Richardson). Love triangles abound as Donald likes Cecile who like Sebastian who likes Annette, not to mention the intense and almost incestuous sexual attraction between step-siblings Sebastian and Kathryn. Throughout the show it's hard to decide who has all the power and who is manipulating whom, but in the end both of the evil step-siblings get punishments in one form or another.
The most defining part of the musical by far is the score. The show is a jukebox musical comprised entirely of 90s songs, including hits you thought you had forgotten like "I Saw the Sign," "I'm Only Happen When it Rains," "Bittersweet Symphony," "Sex and Candy," "Sunday Morning," "So Kiss Me," and more. The musical has (overly) dramatic scenes of plot adapted from the movie, and then the characters randomly burst into a 90s song. At times this can seem ridiculous, but it is when the actors play into the comedic ridiculousness of the situation that the songs work best. Boniello, Muller, Shelton, and St. Louis were best at this, almost winking at the audience every time they began to sing another absurd song.
In a 90s nostalgia jukebox musical, harnessing the comedy is essential. Perhaps this is what made the performances of the leading pair unsuccessful. Both Rousouli and Zakrin seemed too invested in the seriousness and dramatics of their characters to understand that the musical is mostly an extended piece of sketch comedy with great (bad?) songs. The over-acting by the leads made this incarnation slightly less enjoyable than the previous ones, although this could have been caused by the absence of Jenn Damiano and/or Katie Stevens, who had both previously played Kathryn with much more success than Zakrin.
That being said, it is absolutely worth noting that the vocals in the production were extraordinary, with each cast members belting out song after song. When they were good, the songs were the best part of the musical, since the audience got to jam to their old favorite while watching a talented singer completely nail the song, sometimes even with cheesey choreography (by Jennifer Weber). Equally enjoyable were the costumes (styled by Tilly Grimes) which were inspired by the movie and contained a corset, a rosary, a plaid miniskirt, some tie-over sweaters, and a sea of matching blazers.
"Cruel Intentions: The Musical" is not high art, but it is fun, sexy, and seductive. For what it is--a 90s jukebox nostalgia musical comedy--it is a great time and certainly worth the trip for a night of (dinner) theater downtown. What's more, this musical, despite its lack of seriousness or budget, managed to absolutely surpasses the recent Broadway production of its distant cousin "Les Liaisons Dangereuses."

"Bilateral and Multilateral Diplomatic Relations of Cambodia with Major Countries in the Region and in the World and with Major International and Global Organizations"
After many decades in war and isolation, Cambodia has emerged in a new era in international relations after national reconciliation and the establishment of the coalition government by general election in 1993. We have achieved so many achievements during a decade of foreign policy. Cambodia has gained back its legitimacy and prestige in the world arena. Cambodia has official diplomatic relations with many countries in the region and in the world.
Cambodia is now being members of many international organizations and world's bodies including the United Nations, World Bank, IMF, ADB, ASEAN, ASEM, WTO, and others. Cambodia has been also a member of Centrist Democratic International (Asia Pacific), which is a group of democratic parties of many countries in the world.
The strategic foreign policy of this Royal Government is targeted at lifting the reputation and prestige of the nation on the international stage, increasing Cambodian participation in regional and global affairs, and increasing international assistance in order to promote the development of the economy and the decent and civilized livelihoods of the citizens and to strengthen national defense by seeking to widen bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
The Royal Government holds to a foreign policy that is independent, neutral, and non-aligned and seeks to strengthen friendship and close cooperation with other countries in the region and around the globe regardless of political ideology, based on the principle of equality and non-interference in internal affairs and mutual respect of independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity for mutual benefit and the development of the economy, technology, and science of each country.
The Royal Government is determined to protect the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and neutrality of the Kingdom of Cambodia based on Article 55 of the Constitution and in accordance with the United Nations Charter and other international laws.
The Royal Government supports and firmly holds to the principle of peaceful coexistence in international relation, which is a firm foundation that ensures the protecting and strengthening of peace, stability, security in the region and in the world. At the same time, the Royal Government supports the resolving of disputes in the region as well as in each country through peaceful means. The Royal Government absolutely protests against arms-races and the use of space for military purposes, and its supports the reduction of all kinds of weapon, the non-proliferation of nuclear weapon, chemical weapons, and biological weapons, and stopping the production, trafficking and use of landmines.
In conclusion, the Royal Government of Cambodia tries to strengthen the foreign relations in three types:
1- Bilateral relation with neighboring countries by especially carefully in the building of friendship and closely cooperation by seriously settle the border issues and negotiate by peacefully and definitely avoid the using of force to solve the problems.
2- The bilateral relations and multilateral relations with other countries in the region especially with ASEAN significant contributes to transform Southeast Asia to the peaceful, stable, freedom and neutral cooperation. Even though Cambodia became the member of ASEAN, as the one country in the region, Cambodia still maintain the principles of bilateral relations which raise above. Cambodia strives to be the active member within framework of respect for the fundamental principles of ASEAN as stated in treaties which Cambodia has already signed.
3- Extending the relationship with other countries around the world by respects the principle of non-alliance movement and other principles of international laws. Enhance the diplomatic relations by establish new embassies in other countries align with Cambodia's economic feasibility and human resource for political, economic, cultural interests.
Although Cambodia has official bilateral and multilateral diplomatic relations with many countries in the region and in the world, and with major international and global organizations, the documentation on these relations serving as aide memoires for Cambodia's foreign affairs and for academic purpose has not comprehensively done. Filling the gap, the International Relations Institute of Cambodia is conducting a research on Bilateral and Multilateral Diplomatic Relations of the Kingdom of Cambodia with Major Countries in the Region and in the World and with Major International and Global Organizations.
The research covers 22 countries including Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia , Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States, and 8 international and global organizations including United Nations (UN), ASEAN (ASEAN), European Union (EU), World Trade Organization (WTO), Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), International Labor Organization (ILO) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
The research seeks to examine Cambodian foreign policy from 1993 to present, to document Cambodia's official bilateral and multilateral diplomatic relations with above-mentioned countries and organizations, and to overview facts and figures about those countries and organizations.

Q: SQL Server : how to create tables in stored procedures? Task: write a SQL script to build a table. Call the script spCreateTable(), it should accept one argument, a varchar called subjectOfTable.
subjectOfTable is a varchar containing the subject of the table. Some examples are example "Employee" or "Formula." Your script will use that subject to build the table name, primary key, and natural key.
For example, given "Employee" as the subject, your script will build a table called tEmployee with a surrogate key called EmployeeID and a natural key called Employee. Be sure to create the necessary constraints for the keys.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_CreateTable]
    @subjectOfTable VARCHAR(30)
AS
BEGIN
    IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects
               WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID  (@tabName) AND type in (N'U'))
        DROP TABLE [dbo].[@tabName]

    CREATE TABLE @tabName
    (
        [ID] [INT] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
        [RankID] [INT] NOT NULL,
        [SlotTime] [NVARCHAR](10) NOT NULL,
        [SlotDate] [NVARCHAR](30) NOT NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
END

This is what I have so far, any help would be great. Thanks!

A: You can create the table with a generic name, and then use the sp_rename stored procedure to rename it to the variable name:
CREATE TABLE IF EXISTS sp_CreateTable_TempTable (
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[RankID] [int] NOT NULL,
[SlotTime] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL,
[SlotDate] [nvarchar](30) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

EXEC sp_rename sp_CreateTable_TempTable, @subjectOfTable;
GO

A: Since I cannot comment, I'll just throw it out here
What's the real usage of this code anyway? to create table often but same with columns?
I don't know how other person will run this (in SSMS? in application?)
FYI SSMS also has Template for create table (Ctrl+Alt+T), then he/she can press Ctrl+Shift+M to fill in the parameters every time.
If the columns are fixed, you can customize first and send it to them so they only change the  part
-- =========================================
-- Create table template
-- =========================================
USE <database, sysname, AdventureWorks>
GO

IF OBJECT_ID('<schema_name, sysname, dbo>.<table_name, sysname, sample_table>', 'U') IS NOT NULL
  DROP TABLE <schema_name, sysname, dbo>.<table_name, sysname, sample_table>
GO

CREATE TABLE <schema_name, sysname, dbo>.<table_name, sysname, sample_table>
(
    <columns_in_primary_key, , c1> <column1_datatype, , int> <column1_nullability,, NOT NULL>,
    <column2_name, sysname, c2> <column2_datatype, , char(10)> <column2_nullability,, NULL>,
    <column3_name, sysname, c3> <column3_datatype, , datetime> <column3_nullability,, NULL>,
    CONSTRAINT <contraint_name, sysname, PK_sample_table> PRIMARY KEY (<columns_in_primary_key, , c1>)
)
GO

A: first: prefixing a stored procedure should be usually avoided
you can use dynamic sql like that: (but better read that before)
BEGIN TRAN;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateTable]
    ( @Tabname    SYSNAME
    , @SchemaName NVARCHAR(128) = NULL
    ) AS
BEGIN;
    SET @SchemaName = ISNULL (@SchemaName, N'dbo');
    IF ( SELECT object_id (@SchemaName + N'.'+@tabname ) ) IS NOT NULL
       EXEC ( N'DROP TABLE ' + @SchemaName + N'.'+@tabname)
    EXEC (N'CREATE TABLE ' + @SchemaName + N'.'+@tabname + N'
    (   [ID] [INT] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
        [RankID] [INT] NOT NULL,
        [SlotTime] TIME NOT NULL,
        [SlotDate] DATE NOT NULL
    ) ON [PRIMARY]'
    );
    RETURN 0;
 END;
 GO
SELECT OBJECT_ID (N'dbo.test')  AS OBJECT_ID
EXEC [dbo].[CreateTable] @tabname = test
SELECT OBJECT_ID (N'dbo.test')  AS OBJECT_ID

/UCW/ TOKYO, JAPAN – As Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO 6502) announced in its June 28, 2017 press release titled "Litigation Against Western Digital Corporation", Toshiba Memory Corporation ("TMC") blocked the ability of Western Digital Corporation ("WD") to access certain databases starting on June 28, 2017, because WD had improperly obtained and used certain of Toshiba's and TMC's technical information stored in those databases.
On July 6, 2017, WD, through its subsidiary SanDisk LLC ("SanDisk"), filed a motion seeking a temporary restraining order against TMC's blocking of information access before the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco. Today the court confirmed that Toshiba and TMC do not have to provide access to database information that is owned exclusively by Toshiba or its affiliates, including TMC. This was one of the primary areas of concern for TMC–protecting the valuable technology that Toshiba and TMC own. The court did, however, provide WD with access to other information that was available to WD on June 28, 2017, for a limited period of time while the parties provide additional briefing to the court. A hearing is set for July 28, 2017 (US time), when the court will consider these same issues more fully.
There is no impact on TMC's memory production and joint development with SanDisk. Toshiba will review the decision and consider necessary measures such as appeal.
