LCRD Is On Its Way!
The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) mission has successfully launched, completed two Centaur engine burns, and is on its way! The Department of Defense's (DOD) Space Test Program 3 (STP-3) mission sent two satellites including the Space Test Program Satellite-6 (STPSat-6) spacecraft, which hosted two NASA payloads – LCRD and the NASA-U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Ultraviolet Spectro-Coronagraph (UVSC) Pathfinder – to space. STPSat-6 is scheduled to separate from Centaur into geosynchronous orbit in about 6 hours.
Previous update:
First Main Engine Cutoff
The first main engine cutoff, or MECO-1, is confirmed for the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket's Centaur upper stage. It will coast in this preliminary Earth orbit for the next hour before the second burn begins.
The Atlas launched the Department of Defense's (DOD) Space Test Program 3 (STP-3), which hosts NASA's Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) and the NASA-U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Ultraviolet Spectro-Coronagraph (UVSC) Pathfinder.
Solid Rocket Booster Separation
The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket has jettisoned its five solid rocket boosters and is approaching payload fairing jettison.
At this point in its ascent, the Atlas V is burning propellant at a rate of 2,000 pounds per second, traveling more than 7,500 miles per hour and located 64 miles in altitude and 150 miles down range.
Main engine cutoff will occur about a minute after booster jettison, followed shortly by Atlas Centaur separation.
We have liftoff! At 5:19 a.m., United Launch Alliance's Atlas V 551 rocket is on its way to orbit, carrying satellites and technology experiments on the Department of Defense and U.S. Space Force's Space Test Program 3 mission.
Five Minutes to Launch – Everything Looking Good to Go
Launch preparations are underway, and we are still on track for liftoff at 5:19 a.m. for the Department of Defense's (DOD) Space Test Program 3 (STP-3) mission, managed by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC), from Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket will carry satellites and technology experiments, including NASA payload Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) and the NASA-U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Ultraviolet Spectro-Coronagraph (UVSC) Pathfinder.
Currently, no issues are being tracked, and there is a 90% chance of favorable weather for liftoff.

New Launch Time
Launch preparations are underway, and because of high velocity upper level winds the new launch time is 5:03 a.m. EST for the Department of Defense's (DOD) Space Test Program 3 (STP-3) mission, managed by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC), from Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Today's Space Test Program 3 (STP-3) mission contains technology experiments from government, military, and research institutions including two NASA payloads that will help advance the future of space exploration. NASA's primary payload, hosted on the U.S. Department of Defense's Space Test Program Satellite-6 (STPSat-6) spacecraft, is the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD).
Like technology demonstrations that have come before it, LCRD is a giant step toward making operational laser, or optical, communications a reality. About the size of a king-size mattress, LCRD will send and receive data over infrared lasers at 1.2 gigabits per second from geosynchronous orbit to Earth.
Just how much data can we transmit at once with laser communications? Sending a high-resolution map of Mars to Earth would take around nine weeks with current radio systems onboard spacecraft, but as little as nine days with laser communications. That "speed" (or, more accurately, data rate) is appealing for future human exploration and science missions. The systems also offer a smaller package – laser communications systems can take up less space, weight, and power on a spacecraft.
LCRD will help make all of that a reality. The mission will operate for at least two years. It will start off "talking" with ground stations in California and Hawaii to test the invisible, near-infrared lasers. Engineers will beam data to and from the satellite (located more than 22,000 miles above Earth) to refine the transmission process, study different operational scenarios, and perfect tracking systems. The information and data are essential for readying a laser communications system for an operational mission, as we can't replicate the same conditions with tests on the ground. LCRD will also study the effects of clouds (a factor that doesn't impact current space-to-ground communications) and other potential disruptions to identify viable solutions.
LCRD will also help NASA update how astronauts communicate to and from space. Later in the mission, LCRD will conduct optical communications relays with a future terminal on the International Space Station. As NASA goes back to the Moon, laser communications can empower sustainable communications architectures and help set us up for a human presence at Mars.
Take an inside look into the development of LCRD with a laser communications show from NASA EDGE.
NASA's The Invisible Network podcast will debut a special LCRD series today, with additional episodes released over the following four Wednesdays. The podcast will highlight the future of the laser communications technologies demonstrated by this mission and the people behind it.
Also hitching a ride on STPSat-6 is a joint NASA-U.S. Naval Research Laboratory experiment dedicated to studying the origins of solar energetic particles (SEPs) — the Sun's most dangerous form of radiation.
UVSC Pathfinder — short for Ultraviolet Spectro-Coronagraph Pathfinder — will peer at the lowest regions of the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, where SEPs are thought to originate. UVSC Pathfinder is the latest addition to NASA's fleet of heliophysics observatories. NASA heliophysics missions study a vast, interconnected system from the Sun to the space surrounding Earth and other planets, and to the farthest limits of the Sun's constantly flowing stream of solar wind. UVSC Pathfinder provides key information on SEPs, enabling future space exploration.

Busan (disambiguation)
Busan (부산 or 釜山(Korean pronunciation: [pusʰan]), officially Busan Metropolitan City), romanized as Pusan before 2000, is South Korea's second largest city after Seoul, with a population of approximately 3.6 million. The population of the metropolitan area, including the adjacent cities of Gimhae and Yangsan, is approximately 4.6 million. The city is located on the southeastern-most tip of the Korean peninsula.
Located within South Korea's largest industrial area, "The Southeast Economic Zone" (which includes Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province), the city is the cultural, educational and economic center of the region. It is the largest port city in South Korea and the world's fifth busiest seaport by cargo tonnage. The most densely built up areas of the city are situated in a number of narrow valleys between the Nakdong River and the Suyeong River, with mountains separating most of the districts. Administratively, it is designated as a Metropolitan City. The Busan metropolitan area is divided into 15 major administrative districts and a single county.

The 2002 Asian Games, also known as XIV Asiad is a multi-sport event held in Busan, South Korea from September 29 to October 14, 2002. Busan is the second city in South Korea, after Seoul in 1986 to host the Games. A total of 419 events in 38 sports were contested by 7,711 athletes from 44 countries. The Games also co-hosted by its four neighbouring cities: Ulsan, Changwon, Masan and Yangsan.
The emblem of the Games featured the blue waves of sea in the shape of Taegeuk, symbolising Busan and Korea. It expresses the image of development and unity of the Asian people; two dynamic powers are closely intertwined, while the wave's shape indicates the character B, the first character of Busan.
Sea gulls, are sometimes called the city bird of Busan. It is named "Duria", a combination of the two words 'Durative' and 'Asia', which means "You and Me Together" in the Korean language, and expresses the ideal of the Games: to promote unity and partnership among Asian countries.

This description is a translation, by Christian Rogge, of the relation of the battle by an anonymous French officer originally published in the "Neues militärisches Journal", 1788-1805, vol. 1, Hanover 1788, pp. 220 - 236.
(…) As the marshal had inspected the position of the duc de Cumberland, so much as possible, he decided to advance around the heights, and attack the enemy on his left flanc. And all staff officiers were of his opinion. To this intention, he detached Mr de Chevert at midnight with the brigades of Picardie, of Navarre, of la Marine, the Volontaires de Flandre and Haynault, and those of the army. These three brigades sustained by the brigade d'Eu were to attack the enemies left wing. The success of the day depended on this attaque, because it was thought impossible to debouch into the plain, as long the enemy were master of the heights in front of the woods.
The marquis d'Armentieres, who had under his orders the brigades of Imperial troops, de Belsunce, de la Couronne and d'Alsace, supported by the Dragons on foot, had to direct his advance on the heights along the edge of the wood. The brigade of Champagne at the orders of Mr d'Auerly [d'Anlezy], supported by the brigade of Reding, was to attack outside the wood. And the brigades d'Orléans, Vaubecourt, Lyonnois, and Mailly, under the order of Mr de Contades, should direct their attack on the ravines between the wood and the village of Hastenbeck, and on anything that would be encountered behind it.
The marquis (comte) de Guerchy and Mr de St. Pern, with the regiments of du Roi, Grenadiers Royaux and the Grenadiers de France under their command, and supported from the Palatinate troops and the brigades of Poitou and Royal Suedois, were to attack the village of Hastenbeck. The whole Cavallerie was assigned to support the infanterie, and after the attaque had taken place, it was to debouch into the plain.
These were the dispositions for the army for the attaque on the following day. Thereafter the staff officiers returned to their troops.
On the 26th at 5 o'clock the next morning, the enemies started firing on their left flanc. Our artillery kept its predominance, and returned the opposing with all possible livelyness and effect.
As I already pointed out, the success of this day depended on the success of the attaque of Mr de Chevert. He was not to attack before 9 o'clock; and it was exactly on this time, when we heard the first musketshots on our right wing, the fire than increased, and after a very lively action, which lasted 1 to 1 1/2 hours, the enemies were expelled from the hills and from the woods, although they had almost all infanterie there, so to speak, which they constantly reenforced with troops drawn from their right wing.
With the first musketshots of Mr de Chevert's attack, the army started to move foward, the field artillerie and the regimental guns taking the lead, which gave the enemy a terrible defeat. The marquis d'Armentières found but little resistance, the regiment of Champagne encountered a fierce resistance, having to pass a ditch in order to get on a battery of 8 pieces, that was blocking its advance. With the first salvos it fell into disorder, which however, lasted only for a moment. It opened fire, and captured the battery in an instant. In the meantime, Mr de Contades occupied the intervals between the wood and village of Hastenbeck with the brigades under his command.
Mr de Guerchy and Mr de St. Pern, who were to attack Hastenbeck village, formed 3 columns of the regiments of du Roi, the corps of Grenadiers de France and the regiment of Solar, They advanced at the same time the army started moving. They had hardly approached the village to 1/2 cannonshot, when one saw it in flames; one does not know whether it was the enemies or our hauwitzers. It is certain, that they were willing to defend it, as they had started to dig trenches, partly for their retreat, and partly for the counter-attack. The fire did not prevent the Grenadiers de France to advance into the village, while the regiments of du Roi and de Solar advanced to the left and to the right of the village. As the corps of Grenadiers de France debouched, it took some canistershots from a distance of hardly 1/2 musketshot to the enemy, which however, did little damage. The commanding officier, not hesitating a moment, ordered a 1/2 turn to the right, and on it rushed against the wood, still occupied by the enemy, which had to abandon a gun, many knapsacks, trenching tools, and the like.
By the account, I have given of the different attaques, one is aware, that we had now seized the hills and the village of Hastenbeck, and that the Cavallerie could debouch in order to attack the enemies in the plain. How big was the astonishment of the whole army, as the corps of Grenadiers de France got ordre, to withdraw into the village of Hastenbeck. Also, the artillerie was to retire past the ravins again, that lay between the wood and the village. The occasion of this movement was as follows: The rather close woods did not allow Mr de Chevert to follow the enemies and recognitre their movements. These withdrew and took the brigade d'Eu, which supported the brigade of la Marine, "en flanc". On this, very unexpected attaque, and after a persistent fight, this brigade was forced to give way to the superior enemy.
Right at the beginning of this attaque, the commanding staff officier made off, claiming that he wanted to search for help, but did not return to the battlefield. He went to the marshal and announced to him, having observed an enemy column of more than 9 or 10.000 men turning our right wing. To this news, the marshal sent all light troops to the camp, because he feared it to be looted by the enemies; almost the whole Cavallerie was moved to the right wing. At the same time he ordered the army to halt, and gave orders to the artillerie to move back, which, as outlined above, had acquired a lot of fame on this day. This movement gave the enemys time to withdraw, and perhaps their flanc attaque was done only to cover their retreat. None but Mr de Guerchy could have observed better, as he advanced with his compagnie of Grenadiers de France. He was enraged, as he saw such a splendid opportunity for complete victory being wasted. Meanwhile he pursued the enemy with a brigade [bataillon] of Grenadiers de France as best as he could. At this moment, the marshal arrived and saw that he was given false information, and that the enemy withdrew. Immediately, but now too late, he gave the order to have the remaining Grenadiers de France advance again; the nearby Cavallerie brigades of Royal Pologne, and the Carabiniers debouched into the plain, while the Grenadiers de France advanced out of the wood. But the enemy had already passed the small creek at Afferde, and at 6 o'clock he was out of sight. He even took the precaution to set his camp on fire, probably in order to delay the advance of our Cavallerie. A single corps of infanterie could be observed retiring to the right, and by the saying of desateurs, it was a regiment of 2 battalions [Kielmannsegge's Hanoveran Foot Guards?]. It seemed to march with speed, but one would have been able to catch it. However, the marshal did not allow any further action, instead, 3 compagnies occupied Afferde, and the Grenadiers de France occupied the wood, supported by the regiments of Picardie and Champagne, and the Cavallerie, that so far had debouched, formed up in the plain, to the left of the infanterie.

The first Thursday each month, our parish is responsible for serving dinner and breakfast and hosting a secure and warm environment for the homeless of our area. PADS volunteers are needed to serve supper and breakfast, fix bag lunches, supervise the site and clean up the site on Friday morning. We work in four shifts from Thursday night at 6:00 P.M. until Friday morning at 7:00 A.M. For more information, contact StElizPADS@gmail.com.
Share Christmas: Share Christmas provides parishioners an opportunity to provide a gift for individuals or families who might otherwise receive nothing at Christmas. It is an opportunity for us to educate our children, as well as ourselves, about the Gospel mandate to be concerned about our sisters and brothers. Volunteers are required to staff a table, to distribute gift tags, and to receive the gifts (November and December).
St. Vincent de Paul: The SES conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is an autonomous group of parish volunteers who provide emergency financial assistance and guidance for those within our parish boundaries who are in need. Our trained volunteers do face to face interviews and provide compassionate support during difficult times. Call confidentially at 630-416-3325 x6409.
Transitional Housing (Bridge Communities): St. Elizabeth Seton Parish's Bridge Communities is an outreach program designed to assist homeless families to reach a state of independence and self-subsistence. While in the program, families receive financial support through free housing and other subsidies. This financial support is donated by the Parish during this transitional period. To remain in the program, family members (especially the parents) must set and attain goals designed to prepare them for independent living. This transitional housing period is designed to last between 18 and 30 months for a homeless family. While in the care of the parish, the family is under the close care and supervision of two to four trained mentors who act as the parish's support and training arm, preparing the parent(s) to get the job training skills or education necessary to find a level of employment which will allow the family to become self-sufficient. For more information, contact Jacqui Snyder at 630-369-8081 or godloves_u2@yahoo.com.
Environmental Ministry: The focus of the St. Elizabeth Seton Environmental Ministry is a common-sense approach that balances environmental stewardship with the needs of human development, particularly with respect to economic concerns and access to energy resources. Our efforts are directed into the following three general activities.
Routine programs that habitually minimize waste and encourage recycling.
Special projects that concentrate on environmental clean-up.
Informing our fellow parishioners of environmental issues.
Our hope is to raise environmental awareness of the St. Elizabeth Seton parish through good example and pertinent information. For more information, contact Art & Jeanne Sheridan at artandjeanne14@comcast.net.
Peace and Justice: The Peace and Justice Committee is an active arm of the Service Ministry. Its stewardship is based upon our Catholic roots in Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching. Recent activities include direct service, emphasizing empowerment and advocacy, and addressing systemic issues which deprive vulnerable individuals and families of dignity and opportunity.
Respect Life: Respect Life, at St. Elizabeth Seton, aims to keep present the truth of the sacredness of all human life.

Joe is a great guy and has always done a fantastic job for us.
I got into mortgages in 2002, at the advice of a client I was working with at the time. It was readily apparent that I enjoyed the industry immensely. Building relationships with prospective clients and referral sources was from the very beginning something I enjoyed and pursued passionately. There is nothing more enjoyable than helping someone with life's biggest financial decision, financing a home. My mission early on was to help educate first time buyers, but over the course of my career, it has become so much more than that. Now, I find myself talking to everyone from first timers, to my past clients, now buying and selling with their families, to people purchasing their empty nester home, or dream lake house. My interaction with new and past clients keeps me engaged and excited to be in this industry every day.
Personally, I live in Old Irving Park with my family. We are immersed in the Community at St Ben's in Northcenter. Spend a great deal of time at the Old Town School of Folk Music. And, at every possible opportunity, vacation in Door County Wisconsin.
There is no typical anymore. My typical client is any referral from a past customer.
First and foremost, it's about identifying a borrowers comfort level with monthly payment and then building a box that the property fits into from a financial standpoint. If a strong foundation is laid from the get go from an education standpoint, the mortgage process itself should be fairly simple.
I have been awarded the Top 1% Award for 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. I have also been in Guaranteed Rates President's Club for those same years.
It really depends on the client and what their goals are for the property. There is no one way to finance a mortgage and you should always go through the options that best meet the needs of the individual borrower.
Do your homework, team up with great partners and be prepared. The preparation and the people you work with from Realtor, to Mortgage to Attorney, can be the difference between getting your dream home or losing it to someone else.
ARM's. There is still a lot of stigma about Adjustable Rate products, but the reality is that most of the borrowers that have had Adjustable Rates over the past ten years have made out much better than their counterparts in fixed rate mortgages.
We are so much more efficient and transparent than we were when I first started. The ability to apply online, upload documentation to a secure system, and then to finally docusign the majority of paperwork leading up to closing has been a game changer. Just think, it was only a few years ago that we were still faxing all of our documentation, or sending in overnight packages.
I admit, we ask for a lot of documentation. I do see that changing over the next couple of years, but for now it does seem overwhelming to people at times. I would say documenting a paper trail of assets once under contract can be the most cumbersome part of the process. With a little coaching up front though, this can be made a lot easier.
1. That the pre-approval process takes weeks or months when it should only take a few minutes or a few hours. 2. That you need 20% down to obtain a home loan. 3. That we need original documentation when in fact everything can be done electronically.
My website at Guaranteed Rate is the best resource I could recommend.
Spend the necessary amount of time up front to get pre-approved with someone you trust.
I'm a member of the Northcenter Chamber of Commerce and a past board member. I also sit on the Board of the Guaranteed Rate Foundation.
I grew up in Buffalo Grove and Arlington Hts, IL. I attended St Mary School in Buffalo Grove, Buffalo Grove High School. I graduated from Winona State University with a degree in History and Political Science.
Helping borrowers close on their home. Whether is a first time purchase, that second home with their growing families, or that lake property in Wisconsin or Michigan, it's the satisfaction that we got them into their home.
I like to vacation with my Family. I'm an awful guitar player, but a pretty good cook.

New dean position posted
By The Ranger on	 February 11, 2013 Top News
By Faith Duarte
fduarte3@student.alamo.edu
A job description for a new dean of performance has been approved and will be posted to PeopleLink on the Alamo Colleges website, President Robert Zeigler announced during a College Council meeting Tuesday.
Zeigler said the position will be advertised internally to college employees for about three weeks and will hopefully be filled in a month. No applicants yet.
Zeigler said duties of the dean position include overseeing the reaccreditation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, developing student learning outcomes, and monitoring adherence to Foundations of Excellence and the Baldrige model.
The dean would also serve as a member of the college's executive team while organizing college services including planning, research,
budgeting, resource development and institutional technology.
"I think it's a key position, and we really need somebody that's good with people, good with the data, work as a team and can make those kinds of contributions," Zeigler said after the meeting.
The vice president of academic affairs position, which has been vacant since the June departure of Dr. Jessica Howard, will convert into a dean's position, he said during the meeting.
The dean will report to David Mrizek, vice president of college services.
"This is a fairly specialized position," Zeigler said. "Really, this is one of coordination, integration, development helping with strategic planning, all of those things we need to have done."
"I think this is an important position, and this is just going to be a real help to the institution and to the students, in the long run," he said.

Advocate 'Steals' Cheques Worth Rs 5.5 Lakh From Odisha Court, CB Probes
CityBerhampur
By OB Bureau	 On Sep 28, 2021
Berhampur: Did an advocate take away compensation cheques amounting to Rs 5.5 lakh from a court here without its knowledge or order? Was a court functionary also involved in the alleged theft?
The Odisha Crime Branch is probing these angles following the "theft" of five compensatory cheques to be paid to three relatives of an accident victim.
According to sources, the court had ordered a private insurance company to pay Rs 4.5 lakh in damages to the three claimants on December 22, 2015. However, the Orissa High Court increased the compensation by Rs 1 lakh on April 10 this year.
Accordingly, the insurance company issued five cheques to the amount of Rs 5.5 lakh in the names of the three claimants and deposited them in the court.
On June 7, a court official informed a judge that the cheques were missing. Following this, an inquiry was launched. The inquiry revealed that the advocate of the claimants had taken away the cheques without the court's notice or order. He then got them deposited in the bank accounts of the claimants. Later, one claimant transferred Rs 1.4 lakh to the advocate's account.
The Berhampur court has asked the Crime Branch to probe the whole matter and find out the complicity of others.
Crime Branch sources said they are also investigating the role of two of the claimants for allegedly filing false affidavits in the court.

Will Shiba, Minato-ku Become a Mecca for STEAM Education?
Exclusive coverage of the hottest Shiba KOKUSAI and Laurus collaboration frontline!
Shiba, Minato-ku is home to NEC and other IT and programming companies.
Across from the NEC headquarters, a new school building is under construction that will become Shiba KOKUSAI Junior & Senior High School and Laurus International School of Science. Shiba KOKUSAI Junior & Senior High School and Laurus International School of Science, the largest international school group in the Kanto area, will open in Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Here is a report from the construction site.
Photo: eduJUMP!
Modern, open, museum-like campus
On the day the editorial staff went to cover the event, students in the highest grade of Laurus (G6: in their transitional period to the first grade of the middle school) were given a campus tour as part of their classes. The Laurus G6 class, Tokyo Joshi Gakuen Principal Mr. Kawazoe, and the eduJUMP! the editorial staff all took the elevator up to the roof first.
●A construction elevator takes you all the way up to the roof.
●Rendering of the campus as seen from above. Safety netting will be installed to prevent balls from flying off the tennis courts.
The top 11 and 12 floors, where the group first headed, will become a gymnasium, dance hall, music room, and rooftop tennis court in the future.
Below that, floors 7 through 10 will house the Laurus International School of Science. According to the Laurus principal, each floor has a theme: Ocean on the 7th floor, Planet Earth on the 8th floor, Singularity on the 9th floor, and Ad Astra on the 10th floor.
Each floor is in the process of being meticulously designed and detailed by Laurus STEAM instructors and staff, who are not only designing each floor according to theme, but also choosing designs for science rooms, makerspace, life library, art room, presentation room, and even the furniture and equipment. It is amazing to see the exhibits, flora and fauna, and state-of-the-art laboratory equipment that are being imported from all over the country and the world to attract the students' interest.
●The open gymnasium area on the 11th floor. On the way down from the rooftop to the 11th floor, a dance and exercise floor has been created.
●Commemorative photo with Tokyo Joshi Gakuen Principal Mr. Kawazoe, Laurus teachers and staff, G6 students, and eduJUMP! chief editor
Mrs. Hioki, the head of Laurus International School of Science told us, "Our campus's goal is to be an amusement park of learning. We want to turn the entire school building into a hands-on museum, lab, and presentation space.
The ultimate goal is to make Shiba, Minato-ku a mecca for STEAM education by creating many places and mechanisms on each floor where students can experience, experiment, create, and present the latest technology.
●Above is an image of the interior of the campus as envisioned by Mrs.Hioki, the head of Laurus International school of Science
●Current perspective of the floor that will house the lower grade's regular classrooms at Laurus Primary school. The floor theme is Ocean, with the possibility of a life-size whale shark print on the floor, wave projection mapping on the floor, and a coral reef aquarium.
●This is the current perspective of the floor that will house the upper grade classrooms of Laurus Primary School. The floor theme is Planet Earth, and the reception area will be decorated with plants, a symbolic tree, and a variety of plants and animals imported from around the world.
The group walked from the top floor past the Laurus floor to the Shiba KOKUSAI Junior and Senior High School floor. 6F has a Japanese-style room called Seika-an, where students can learn about Japanese culture and have a relaxing time. Also on the same floor was a place that was supposed to be a multipurpose hall.
And while the fourth to fifth floors are regular classrooms, there is also an open space on the fourth floor where students can do individual and group work. I was impressed by the luxurious arrangement of the open space and multipurpose hall.
●4th floor image: Media Center where students can do group work and presentations
●First and second floor images: Connection from the entrance to the library. The grand staircase in the atrium is symbolic.
Passing through the third floor where faculty offices and multipurpose rooms are located, the first two floors are an open space with a grand stairwell, a large library, and a glass-walled lounge. The floor looks as if you are in Colombia University. Students may sit on the grand staircase and immerse themselves in reading, discuss their current projects in the lounge, or study for a test at a table by the window.

Q: Property does not exist on type when it does in fact exist I am trying to use Typescript in addition to the fetch API to typify web requests and responses. I have defined an InventoryItem that defines several fields that are returned from the API. Code for InventoryItem looks similar to this:
/src/types/InventoryItem.tsx:
type InventoryItem = {
    id : number;
    upc : string;
    [... And so on ...]
}

Because of the nature of the API I am accessing, I need to make two requests to actually get all of the required data for an inventory item. I am using a function like the following to accomplish this:
async getInventoryItem<InventoryItem>(upc) : InventoryItem | Error {
    let response = await fetch(url, options);
    let firstItem : InventoryItem;
    let secondItem : InventoryItem;

    if (response.ok) {
        let json = await response.json();
        firstItem = json.records[0];

        // Make second request for remaining fields
        response = await fetch(newURL, options);

        if (response.ok) {
            json = await.response.json();
            // Merge important field from first request into second object
            secondItem.upc = firstItem.upc // <--- Issue is here
        }
    }
}

VSCode gives me an error when trying to assign the upc field, claiming that Property 'upc' does not exist on InventoryItem, but as I showed above, said field literally does exist within InventoryItem. Reloading my IDE does not make a difference.
It's most likely that I am doing it all the wrong way, as I have little experience with Typescript. But from what I can tell types are assigned properly. Why can't it find the fields properly?

A: The type definition type InventoryItem is colliding with the generic type <InventoryItem> that you used in the function defintion. In this case the generic type is overriding the defined type for the scope of this function.
Since you did not constrain the generic type InventoryItem to be of any particular shape, TypeScript can not read property upc since there is no indication that a variable of the generic type InventoryItem should have such property.
It does not look like you really need this generic type. Just removing it should fix the problem.
async getInventoryItem(upc) : InventoryItem | Error {}

If you need the generic type, I would suggest renaming it and constraining it.
async function getInventoryItem<I extends InventoryItem>(upc) : InventoryItem | Error {
    let response = await fetch(url, options);
    let firstItem : I;
    let secondItem : I;

    /* ... */
}

A: You are inadvertently adding the code for Generics here. Typescript generics is a completely different feature and not required here. But when you do
async getInventoryItem<InventoryItem>(upc)

You have created a new local type (which is used as a variable). This new type is in a sense, overriding the InventoryItem you might have defined outside.
Remove this and you are good
async getInventoryItem(upc) : InventoryItem | Error {

With generics you can create multiple functions like this with different parameter and corresponding return types. I don't think you need that

Tri-county cities return as major features in Amgen Tour of California
By Staff Report / Tuesday, February 24th, 2015 / Comments Off on Tri-county cities return as major features in Amgen Tour of California
One of the most prestigious races in US cycling will pedal through a handful of tri-county cities this May.
The 10th anniversary of this year's 724-mile, Amgen Tour of California features stages that pass through host cities, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach and Santa Barbara — reprising their roles from tours past. The Ventura County portion of the route goes through Ojai and Santa Paula on its way to Santa Clarita.
This year 18 international teams are expected to take part in the race, with tri-county host cities offering up some of the more interesting competitive landscapes on the tour.
The race is on the Union Cycliste Internationale Americas Tour and the USA Cycling Professional Tour, making it one of the major competitions leading up to the Tour de France in June. The competition is a big draw with cycling enthusiasts and tens of thousands of people are expected to roll in to the event's host cities, filling up hotels, cramming restaurants and pumping cash into the tourism economy. Balcom Canyon, just outside of Santa Paula, is one of the major climbs on the tour and as many as 5,000 spectators are predicted to line that section of the course.
The race is economic windfall, but does have it drawbacks, including congestion and major clean up efforts. Still, host cities typically bend over backwards to accommodate the cyclists and the fans, and many are already enlisting thousands of volunteers.
The tour starts in Sacramento and will finish in Pasadena, with 43,000 feet of total elevation in between. Other host cities on the tour include Nevada City, Lodi, San Jose, Santa Clarita, Big Bear Lake, Ontario, Mt. Baldy, and Los Angeles.
In the region, Stage 4 on May 13 covers 107 miles from Pismo to Avila Beach. Stage 5 on May 14 will traverse 98 miles from Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita.

Daniel O'Dowd ✒ To be frank, anti-Semitism is not a political issue in Ireland. It's not that it is not an issue. Rather, it's that there is no political cost to being anti-Semitic in this country.
There is a small and dwindling Jewish community in this country which may make a marginal difference in a Council Election in a large Dublin constituency. Opponents of anti-Semitism and pro-Israel figures are few and far between, constantly under threat of character assassination or misrepresentation.
The media is only interested in the issue in so much as it sells newspapers and boosts readership figures. In the Dáil and Seanad, the consensus is overwhelmingly anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and opposed to accepting any charge of anti-Semitism. In other words, there is no incentive, need or obligation to tackle anti-Semitism. With no check and no balance, hardline, anti-Zionist parties like People Before Profit and Sinn Féin can act as recklessly, as boldly and as offensively as they wish on Israel and the Jewish people – with no fear of reproach.
This has borne out time and time again, with no sign of things changing.

Seems this is more of the same - label anti-Semitic anybody that asks questions of the brutal Israeli regime.
Barry Gilheany 6:37 PM, December 26, 2020
I cannot comment on this article as when I click on the link, I cannot ac ces it.
But a general point. Criticism of the Occupation and of specific Israeli government policies can never be antisemitic but demonisation of the essence of Israel, of Zionism as some sort of existential evil and attribution of certain crimes (e.g. 9/11) to the hand of Mossad) which are all features of far-left (and sometimes far-right) and Islamist antizionism do certainly stray into that territory.
But even to portray Israel as the essence of evil is not anti-Semitic. It is anti-Israel. A person is no more anti-Semitic for opposing Israel than they are islamophobic for opposing Iran
try it now Barry

Having read the article, I can see that the tweets from SF deputies about Israel forming ISIS; denying Covid-19 vaccines to the population of the West Bank and 9/11 conspiracy theories very much come within the range of antizionist antisemitism.
Not for the first time the mask slips from Sinn Fein's professed public image of a progressive, human rights advocating and antiracist party to reveal the real malice and prejudices. They need to be reminded that the Zionist War of Independence was a cause celebre for many Republicans and leftists of the time; the Irgun's operations were based on those of Michael Collins and Republicans like Donal Donnelly of Omagh and Terrence "Cheeky" Clarke were ardent pro-Zionists.
It is not Islamophobic to oppose theocratic regimes like those of Iran; those who do do not oppose the the existence of the territorial integrity of Iran; the Anti-Apartheid Movement likewise did not opposed the state and territorial unity of South Africa. But opponents of the existence of the State of Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people do oppose the territory of (pre-1967) Israel.

Barry - glad that worked. Every now and then lonks cause a glitch and it takes a reader to point it out when they notice.
The SF tweets you flag up are more the personal views of the deputies than SF and they are quickly pulled into line. As little time as I have for SF, I would not describe them as an Anti-Semitic party. In fact, a while back they were taking flak for fraternising with Likud as they were when staging photo opportunities with Israeli diplomats.
You refer to individual TDs alleging "Israel forming ISIS; denying Covid-19 vaccines to the population of the West Bank and 9/11 conspiracy theories very much come within the range of antizionist antisemitism" - except that they don't. They fit within the range of actions framed as anti-Semitic by the lobby that wants to silence criticism of Israel.
Because they might be wrong about what Israel gets up to or they might be deliberately and wilfully falsifying what Israel does, makes them only anti-Israel, not anti-Semitic. And their basis for being anti-Israel is probably rooted in their opposition to the Israeli history of war crimes and atrocity.
A prejudice against Israel simply cannot be reduced to a prejudice against Jews.
People who oppose the Zionist land grab and the colonising of Palestinian land in 48 with the concomitant war crimes against the Palestinians again cannot be described as anti-Semitic simply because they do not share your view on the history.
Cleeky Clarke became an ardent Palestinian supporter, so it is is pointless reading too much into his perspective.
People should be free to oppose the existence of whatever state they wish otherwise we are bound by the strictures of obligatory nationalism. If people want to oppose the existence of Iran or Pakistan they should not be labelled anti-Muslim for that. People should be free to oppose the state of Israel as much as they are entitled to oppose the state of Northern Ireland or the state of Pakistan.
It looks to me as an enormous contradiction for any secularist to support a Jewish state for a Jewish people; much the same as it would be were they to support a Muslim state for a Muslim people or a Protestant state for a Protestant people. It is much more consistent for a secularist to be supporting a secular state for all the people.
Christy Walsh 1:08 AM, December 27, 2020
Do you mean anti-Muslim? the term Islamophobia is a political label to silence criticism of Islam otherwise we might as well interpret anti-Zionism to mean anti-Semitic.
AM 9:47 AM, December 27, 2020
Christy - I considered anti-Muslim as it is more accurate but sought to use what seemed like a more discursive equivalent to anti-Semitism. But it doesn't work for the reasons you point out. Inverted commas might have caused it to carry more effect.
Simon 1:20 PM, December 27, 2020
Barry. I am very much against anti-semitism. However, it appears many people are provoked more by words including anti-semetism which is never acceptable than the very real and current barbaric violence against the Palestinians.
Why were people more upset by Hamas' words of wanting to drive Israel into the sea, when they didn't have the means to do so, than Israel chipping away at the Palestinian Territories and actually driving a people into the sea? The use of white phosphorus, targeting of civilians, schools etc. remains unmentioned in many discussions despite violence like this having a greater impact on humanity than mere words.
I understand that hate speech may lead to violence but on the other hand Israel is actually carrying out disproportionate violence, breaking international law through use of banned weapons, illegal occupation, and embargoes including restrictions on electricity and drinking water.
Deal with the clear and present danger first, with more vigour than hate speech which may or may not lead to similar violence. Is that not logical?
It is not a question of prioritising hate speech over violence or repression.
For example because Islamist terror may be a clear and present danger or that girl children in certain Islamic communities are at risk of FGM, there is no logical reason to downplay anti-Muslim hate speech and its effects from the likes of Tommy Robinson and Geert Wilders.
Likewise the necessity of opposing the Occupation does not relegate the importance of the British Labour Party cleansing itself of its antisemitism culture as mandated by the EHRC or of dealing with the hate speech which has led to the murder of Jews by Islamist terrorists in France and Belgium.
Simon 10:35 PM, December 28, 2020
Barry, none of that explains why you spend your time speaking out against not just antisemitism but criticism of Israel and rarely speak out against the maltreatment of those in Palestine.
Christy Walsh 8:29 PM, December 27, 2020
All true. My criticism of Hamas is that they do not treat Palestinians any better than the Israeli's do. Their tactics seem to revolve around provoking Israel and then feeding from the devastation left behind. The more they can cause the Palestinians to suffer the more they get in donations and weaponry... they are not innocent contributors to the Palestinians misery.
Christy, I understand where you're coming from but the situation is more complicated than that.
Israel attacks Gaza regardless of what Hamas do. You are 100% correct that they use any attack, by any Palestinian group in the Strip as a pretext for a major attack in the same way loyalists claimed a purely reactionary stance, yet neither stands up to scrutiny as attacks continued during calm as well as storm.
The PLO are in charge in the West Bank yet attacks on Palestinians there are commonplace. Illegal settlements flourish and the displaced flee.
Back in Gaza if a group sends rockets to Israel Hamas get the blame even if another group is involved. These rocket attacks are a war crime. The "look at what you made me do" defense from Israel doesn't wash with me, particularly a disproportionate response. I can see suffering and hopelessness, pushing people to violent acts. That's not to excuse war crime but a more obvious reason than sacrificing your people for donations.
I watched a documentary on Gaza and a common remark by the inhabitants is that they hate the world as we stand by and let Israel do as they please. There was a deep sense of anger and helplessness as different people said these same words and they meant it. It's not an excuse for a war crime as there can be no excuse but as an expression of feeling it is stark.
I guess those donations of weapons and finance must be significant, to compensate for everything lost in the devastation. Donations do come in, but as a reason to wage war? I doubt it.
The Palestinian people are war weary. Hamas were voted in originally by Christians as well as Muslims. Hopefully everyone can live in peace in Israel/Palestine. Hamas holds a big responsibility but if you're right in your analysis Hamas are more to blame than Israel not just as bad as.
Hamas also executes alleged collaborators with minimal judicial process; represses women and jails journalists and peace activists. Note also the absence of elections since 2006.
The State of Israel was an explicitly secular Zionist project at least in its inception unlike many Muslim majority countries which institutionalise Islamic religious and cultural mores.
There is another narrative around 1948 which is that 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were dispossessed as a result of a war which Israel's Arab neighbours started. Had the UN Partition Plan been accepted by the Palestinian leadership then the conflict and associated atrocities, including the massacres of hundreds of Arabs most notoriously at Deir Yassim by Jewish irregular forces (6,000 Jews also died in that war), may never have happened.
The creation of the State of Israel was, in the words of Isaac Deutscher , a "historical necessity" arising from the Shoah/Holocaust. These were events which Trotsky foresaw in 1938.
Anti-Israelism, as it is termed by Rabbi Julia Neuberger, is not, I grant, full-on antisemitism as that of Nazi vintage. But the accusations made against it; the 9/11 and ISIS nonsense, the harvesting of organs and denial of Covid-19 vaccines to the West Bank, power of the Zionist/Israel lobby hark back to centuries-old anti-Jewish themes such as the 'blood libel' (Jews killing Christian children); Jews being simultaneously behind communism and capitalism (as made explicit in the Hamas Charter) and the power of the Rothschild banking family.
Yes, anger at Israeli treatment of Palestinian Arabs is a driver in this variant of antisemitism. But the violent and conspiratorial rhetoric used by many antizionists such as the tweets of the Sinn Fein TDs leads me to suspect that there are deeper, more primeval sentiments and intentions at play than mere human rights advocacy. For I have seen more than a few anecdotes (including from posters on this site) from professed Palestinian supporters dismissing the the mass atrocities of the Assad regime and the Chinese Communist Party's protogenocide of the Uighur and other Turkic peoples.
Besides today's racists are more savvy in the ways in which they articulate their prejudices. Hence the codes in which African-Americans are demeaned in : the "welfare queens" and "urban" problems.
Finally; if people are entitled to oppose any state (which on free expression grounds they are) I take it this would be on anarchist grounds. Where would that leave a Palestinian state?
That just sounds like nah nah - nah nah nah.
It matters not. Its secular content did not detract from its war crime intent.
There is another narrative around 1948 which is that 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were dispossessed as a result of a war which Israel's Arab neighbours started.
That's fine. No one here seeking to ban that narrative or shout anti-Muslim at the narrator. It is a narrative that people have every right to dissent from without being labelled anti-Semitic.
The creation of the State of Israel was, in the words of Isaac Deutscher , a "historical necessity" arising from the Shoah/Holocaust.
Deutscher is entitled to his opinion. People can dissent from that opinion without being labelled anti-Semitic. They could have set it up in Germany – they even considered stealing land in Africa for the purpose in the embryonic stages of the Zionist movement – which would have been fitting.
Anti-Israelism, as it is termed by Rabbi Julia Neuberger, is not, I grant, full-on antisemitism as that of Nazi vintage.
At last we are getting there.
But the accusations made against it; the 9/11 and ISIS nonsense, the harvesting of organs and denial of Covid-19 vaccines to the West Bank, power of the Zionist/Israel lobby hark back to centuries-old anti-Jewish themes such as the 'blood libel' (Jews killing Christian children); Jews being simultaneously behind communism and capitalism (as made explicit in the Hamas Charter) and the power of the Rothschild banking family.
Some of that is anti-Semitism and some of it not. We know the power of the Israeli lobby – just look at AIPAC. Blood libel is something you have tried to stick on criticisms of Israel's Nazi like war crimes against Palestinian children. It is a matter of record that the Israeli state targets and murders Palestinian children. It is not because they are Jews that they perpetrate such but because they are land grabbing Israelis. And your attempt to smear that very substantive concern as anti-Semitic is arguably a bid to provide cover for their war crimes.
You are now down to "suspecting" that some SF TDs are driven by more primordial concerns. It works the other way – you might be operating out of a primordial instinct to smear the accuser in order to shield the accused and allow them licence to continue with their barbarism.
Yes, there is a large measure of inconsistency on the part of those who fail to address the war crimes of Assad and his regime. That still does not make them anti-Semitic, just anti-israel. And that anti-Israel sentiment is derived from a long standing emotional empathy with the victims of Israeli atrocity – the Palestinians. Am I a hypocrite because I disproportionately write about the trauma experienced by Liverpool fans but not that experienced by Rangers fans? It should only become a problem if I object or try to prevent others wishing to focus on the Rangers fans.
People are free to oppose a Palestinian state. It might make sense to do so from an anarchist perspective. But the opposition to the existence of an Israeli state is not driven merely by anarchism. It is driven by the mental image people have of a war crime regime mercilessly attacking a defenceless people with whom they have emotional solidarity. That is not anti-Semitism.
I don't support Hamas – it has a long association with the Muslim Brotherhood. It is brutal yet much less so than Israel.
Armed Palestinian groups be they Hamas, PLO or PFLP have also attacked and killed children; that does not make them Nazi-like despite their then or current commitment to destroying the "Zionist entity"; an objective also shared by the homicidal theocracy in Iran which I also desist from calling Nazi-like.
Reprehensible though the killing and wounding of Palestinian Arab children (whether rioting or not) on the West Bank by the Israeli occupation forces are; it does not compare with the exterminatory nature of Nazi atrocities which were motivated by a genocidal racist philosophy at the centre of which was "the Jew". If it did, then there would be camps, ghettoes, mass starvation, medical experimentation and all the other ghastly paraphernalia of Nazism. The West Bank is an occupation; Gaza is the site of an uneven conflict; neither is a Warsaw Ghetto; a Babi-Yar or an Auschwitz.
That anti-Israelis such as George Galloway, Chris Williamson and Ali Abuminah of the Electronic Intifada find common cause with the Chinas, Assads, Venezuelas, Putins and Saddams of this world suggests that dislike of anything Western is more of a factor in their faux sympathy with the Palestinian Arabs. Islamist antizionism is motivated by opposition to the presence of any Jews on "Muslim lands".
Barry – deliberately targeting women and children is a war crime and therefore Nazi like. That Hamas do not do it with the zest of Israel does not make them any less culpable of war crimes, just responsible for fewer of them. You are not being asked to call Hamas Nazi like. That is your call. What you are being asked is to stop labelling as anti-Semite those who think Israel massacring children is Nazi-like.
No one has claimed that the Israeli slaughter of Palestinian children is on a scale with what the Nazis did to the Jews, or even worse what they did to the Russians. Nor is the Shoah the point of comparison: the atrocities are. War criminals are all pigs from the same sow. But you continue to strive to distort the point in order to protect the Nazi-like activities of the Israeli state.
Islamist antizionism is motivated by opposition to the presence of any Jews on "Muslim lands".
That may well be so but we are not talking about Islamist anti-Zionism. There is nobody here defending the Islamists. At least on this site there has been a constant criticism of political Islam.
Barry Gilheany 12:42 AM, December 31, 2020
I am not labelling anyone who condemns the killing and targeting of children on the West Bank by the IDF as antisemitic and I genuinely apologise if that is the impression created.
But it is the Nazi comparisons that I object to; I acknowledge you do reject comparisons with the Holocaust. However many of the complaints concerning antisemitism in the Labour Party involved just such comparisons featuring, for example, social media images of the swastika superimposed upon the Star of David.
In the words of former Corbyn acolyte, Owen Jones "the realities of the Israeli occupation are grim enough on their own terms - military subjugation, the theft of land n- all justified by state-sanctioned racism - without a comparison (between the predicament of the Palestinians to that of the Jews during the Holocaust) which is as offensive as it is manifestly untrue. There has been no attempt to physically exterminate the Palestinian people; the comparison is meant only to bait Jews with the memory of their most murderous persecutors". (Owen Jones (2020) This Land. The Story of a Movement. London: Allen Lane p.220).
How about sticking the Nazi label on the Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries who targeted thousands of teenagers in their communities for punishment beatings which on a few occasions led to death? How about sticking it on the British Army and RUC for targeting teenagers and younger with plastic bullets; live bullets and beatings. For me; child abuse is a sufficient description without introducing the N word.
War criminals may indeed be all pigs from the same sow but some of the greatest crimes against humanity took place away from the battlefield such as the Shoah, the Khmer Rouge autogenocide, the attempted extermination of the Rwandan Tutsis and the transatlantic African slave trade.
Barry - why object to the Nazi comparisons when what the Israelis do converges with the brutality of the Nazi regime? I have looked at images of Gaza after Israeli bomb attacks and have looked at Warsaw after Nazi bomb attacks and it is impossible to tell the difference.
If Jews are compared to Nazis it is in my view anti-Semitic but if some actions of the Israeli state are compared with the actions of the Nazi state I fail to see the problem.
I think Jones is wrong - in my view it is not to bait Jews but to hold a mirror up to Israelis and invite them to look into it. The nation that supposedly arose from war crimes is now perpetrating them. What an indictment.
If people want to liken some actions of republicans and loyalists to Nazis, why should they not be free to do so? Can Kingsmill, Dublin/Monaghan, Bloody Sunday all not be characterised as Nazi-like? You are free to use a different description but equally so is the person who sees them as Nazi-like, free to use what they consider an appropriate characterisation.
War crimes and crimes against humanity regardless of where they were committed, on or off the battlefield, merit a Nazi comparison, providing that the point of comparison is made specific.
I know that we will always disagree on this but use of Nazi comparisons where they are clearly inaccurate always grate with me.
In my younger days, I remember a foaming bigot at an SDLP conference fulminating that "those who support abortion are Nazis"; it was obviously beyond his limited ken that the women's right to choose abortion in Nazi Germany was banned.
Similarly, the late Fr. Reid's comment that the Unionist regime treated Catholics "like Nazis" was totally inappropriate as was Mary MacAleese's similar comment on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz which she later recanted.
Conversely, it would be way of the mark to call the Provisional IRA and loyalist paramilitaries "Nazis" even though there were far right elements in all of the armed groups.
The optics between Gaza and Warsaw may look similar but whereas Hitler wanted to completely destroy Warsaw and exterminate its population; that was not the Israeli intention disproportionate though its response to Hamas rockets always are.
It is crimes of genocide such as those at Srebinica, those of the Mayan population of Guatemala in the 1980s, the politicide in Indonesia in 1965 where 500,000 suspected communists were massacred (with the assistance of the CIA); the Sabra and Chatila refugee camp massacres, Belgium Congo genocide; the Pol Pot years and the African slave trade that merit Nazi comparisons because of the specificities around premeditation; advance planning; racial hatreds and the bureaucracy and taxonomies surrounding them.
"The nation that supposedly arose from war crimes in now perpetrating them". Just like Mugabe in Zimbabwe and so many other former colonies in Africa tragically. It is by contemporary legal and humanitarian standards and protocols that states and nations are to be judged by, particularly if they are signed up to them, not their histories.
Have a Happy New Year, Anthony and I hope that Liverpool resume their winning form Cannot have that lot down the East Lancashire Road taking your title!
Barry - comparisons are not inaccurate if we identify the points of similarity. The pounding of Gaza is like exactly like what the Nazis did to Warsaw. We might try and say that it was for a different reason but that hardly lessens the likeness nor the evil intent of either state. I think comparisons like that of Reid and McAleese were wrong because the points of comparison were wrong. But there have been actions by all sides to the North's conflict that merited the description Nazi like - Bloody Sunday / Dublin & Monaghan / Kingsmill. If we were to describe any of those as humane atrocities we would have cause for complaint, but not foe hearing them described as Nazi like.
You try to reduce Nazism to premeditation and a certain type of atrocity. I don't do that. I think it lets those who wish to behave like Nazis off the hook.
Mugabe deserved all the comparisons with White Rhodesia as could be thrown his way. I think you miss the point of Animal Farm.
I think Liverpool are pretty lame at the minute. Despite having all the injury problems in the back line, it is the forward line that is not firing on all cylinders. Only for Curtis Jones messing up, the defence would have had three clean sheets against WBA.
Happy New Year Barry
Barry Gilheany 7:21 PM, January 01, 2021
Nazism for me will always be symbolised by its its death camps into which millions were funnelled into simply because of who they were put them on the bottom rungs of the Nazi pyramid of racial hatreds and because through the desecration of corpses and wiping out of the Yiddish culture the Nazis sought to erase the evidence of their existence.
The crimes of genocide that the Nazis were guilty of were unique and led to the UN Genocide Convention in 1948.
The Nazi murders of 3.5m Russian prisoners of war led to the creation of the Geneva Convention.
Both of these international conventions formed part of the post 1945 architecture of transnational institutions of human rights and democracy promotion. If force has to be used to ensure compliance with these laws and norms then so be it.
I actually thought that Big Sam's WBA would give us a game after their result at Anfield! Pity about the shitstorm about TV pundit Karen Carney's comments afterwards.
I still haven't got your email re Sunday Times' Sinn Fein article.
AM 8:13 PM, January 01, 2021
Barry - that is to highlight a defining feature of Nazism but it is wider than that. For me Nazism is about war crimes, not just a Holocaust. Their most heinous act during WW2 was their war of extermination in the East, not the Holocaust. Much of the Holocaust was an integral part of that war in the East. If Israel wants to commit war crimes then it can take the comparisons that go with it, much like any other state that perpetrates such crimes.
Check your twitter messages as I sent it there a fee minutes ago.
I think Carney was wrong and deserved criticism but per usual it got out of control with abusive nonsense fired her way

WASHINGTON (AP) -- American consumers felt less confident this month, but the small retreat came after confidence had risen to a 20-month high in September.
Consumer confidence slipped to 98.6 this month after rising to 103.5 in September, the Conference Board reported Tuesday. The September reading was the highest since confidence stood at 103.8 in January 2015. The September confidence number was revised down from an initial estimate of 104.1, which had been the highest in nine years.
The lower October reading reflected a drop in consumers' assessment of current business conditions and employment prospects.
Even with the small decline, consumer confidence was still at a level expected to support consumer spending and economic growth in coming months.
The October decline reflected decreases in both consumers' view about current conditions and their future expectations.
The number of consumers saying business conditions at present were "good" decreased moderately from 27.7 percent to 26.2 percent while those saying business conditions were "bad" rose from 15.8 percent to 17.7 percent.
Their assessment of the labor market was also less positive, with those believing jobs were "plentiful" dropping from 27.6 percent to 24.3 percent although those who believed jobs were "hard to get" declined slightly to 22.1 percent from 22.3 percent in September.
Economists said the October decline puts the Conference Board's take on confidence more in line with other confidence readings, including the University of Michigan survey.
"We read the October data as suggesting that household confidence has corrected after the outsized increase in the previous month," Blerina Uruci of Barclays said in a research note.
Andrew Hunter, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said the October reading from the Conference Board was still consistent with solid growth in consumer spending at an annual rate above 2.5 percent.
