Albert BRUM – it's never too late…
Mr Albert Brum, a serial embellisher of long standing was exposed by our friends at "This Ain't Hell" in 2017 and he has recently resurfaced. Although, SVC was not involved in the original expose, we have been advised that Mr Brum has articulated a desire to leave the trinkets that support his military themed fairy tale as a lasting legacy of his service to a Canadian military museum located near his hometown.
This has prompted us to ask a couple of questions.
Will his donation include the three World War 2 Campaign Stars that he wore without lawful authority and the Legion of Honour that he was awarded by the French government for his supposed service in the liberation of France?
Can we expect that the US medals and insignia including the Bronze Star and Combat Infantry Badge (second award) will be included in the package?
Brum would have believe he was a member of First Special Service Force (The Devil's Brigade) with service in Italy and participated in the liberation of Rome. He then claims to have transferred to 1 Can Para and made a jump into France on D +1 (7 June 1944) as a reinforcement. However, Brum is not listed on the nominal roll of the FSSF nor has any documented overseas service in Continental Europe! His story changes to suit the circumstances, the event and the audience and of course, he claims to have been a sniper!
http://www.firstspecialserviceforce.net/fssf-roster-of-men.html
In fact, he has actual WW2 service in the RCAF (April-Nov 1944) and transferred to the CA (Jan 45-Apr 1946) where he eventually became a jump qualified RCE Sapper who volunteered to serve in the Pacific theatre. But, he has absolutely no service in an operational theatre.
Brum is not a graduate of Royal Military College of Canada. RMC didn't reopen until Sept 1948 making it somewhat difficult for him to complete his studies, graduate, train as a gunner officer and deploy to Korea in 1949 and again in 1951. In 1949, he joined the Militia where he eventually became a Major in the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry serving until 1969.
Once again simple arithmetic and recorded history proves that his claims of post war operational service in Korea and South East Asia are a complete fabrication!
He never achieved the rank of Colonel in the CA, he was never a "CANLOAN" officer with the US Army in Vietnam or Cambodia in 1963 and 1965 nor, does he have any service with the US military as a Green Beret.
Major AE Brum CD should have been proud of his military service, there was no need for him to embellish his accomplishments over the course of several decades yet, he did.
That will be his legacy…

Jack Proulx – Will he double down or apologize?
As expected, Mr Proulx doubled down with the standard poser responses… Dude, give it up before you are further embarassed when your US Army records are accessed via a FOIA request and made public.
War veteran challenges stolen valour allegations

Herne STEELGRAVE – Green Beret or a newt?
Stolen Valour Canada was advised by a number of parties that there was a potential issue with the claims made by Gallowsglass who was regular participant in events and ceremonies in the Manitoulin area hosted by various veterans support organizations.
https://www.manitoulin.ca/war-pensioners-plan-shutter-organization/?fbclid=IwAR1kqK2trdXAHkCkycnlGnGznlzvqzUTo04a2_0kvi-Sdpl0JTpCLtE3Sc0
Prior to investing any research effort into what has the potential to become a wild goose chase, we attempt to contact named individuals in order to provide them with an opportunity to sort out the reported situation. SVC does not act upon unsubstantiated intelligence or malicious tips, and we hoped that the "Green Beret" would take advantage of this offer to assist in protecting his reputation.
Unfortunately, Steelgrave immediately went silent, not surprisingly images were deleted from social media sites and then the inevitable occurred, we were contacted by an enabler (Spouse/partner/spiritual advisor?) asking that we remove the content from our media platforms and making threats of legal actions against someone for something…
Of course, we responded.
SVC has had no further communication from the "Green Beret's" witchy-woman so, we can only surmise he's on a deep undercover mission for the CIA or he's been turned into a newt.

Tata, Hungary
Title: Tata, Hungary
Subject: Dóra Lőwy, Ottó Bláthy, Sámuel Mikoviny, Slavko Wolf, Archduke Karl of Austria-Este

Location of Tata, Hungary

Tata (Latin: Dotis) is a town in northwestern Hungary, Komárom-Esztergom county, 9 km (6 mi) northwest from the county seat Tatabánya.
Main sights 4
Twin towns — Sister cities 5
Tata is located in the valley between the Gerecse Mountains and Vértes Mountains, some 70 km (43 mi) from Budapest, the capital. By virtue of its location, the city is a railway and road junction. Motorway M1 (E60, E75) from Vienna to Budapest passes through the outer city limits, and the railway line Budapest–Vienna goes through the city.
According to the 2001 census, the town has 23,937 inhabitants: 93.3% Hungarians, 1.6% Germans, 0.6% Roma, 0.2% Slovaks and 6.5% other. [1]
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times; archaeological findings date back to 50,000 BCE. Later it was a Roman settlement.
The first known mention of Tata is from 1221. Its castle was built by the Lackfi family and had its prime under Matthias Corvinus, who had it rebuilt in a Renaissance style.
In 1526 when the disastrous battle with the Turks happened and Louis II died in the battlefield, Count György Cseszneky was the castellan of the Castle Tata. The plundering Ottoman army ransacked the area, but Cseszneky successfully defended the castle.
During the Ottoman occupation, the castle of Tata was an important fortress. It was captured in 1543 by the Turks. During this period the castle had many different owners until it was burned down by the Habsburgs in retaliation for the Rákóczi's War of Independence.
In 1727, Count József Esterházy bought Tata and the surrounding villages. The town prospered, in 1765 it already had a secondary school.
According to the article in the Pallas Lexicon about Tata in 1851, the town was a "pretty and developing village in the Tata district of Komárom comitatus; 895 buildings, 6925 mostly Hungarian residents (3633 Roman Catholics, 2518 Lutherans and 673 Israelites), centre of the district, with secondary school, railway station, post office. Tata and the adjoining village Tóváros (4257 residents) are built around a large lake, Tata on the hillside, Tóváros on the plain. Between them there is the Esterházy mansion and an old castle with archive and gallery including a painting of Leonardo da Vinci. The theatre was built in 1889. The mansion is surrounded by the beautiful English garden (140 hectares)."[2]
In 1938, the village of Tóváros was annexed to Tata, which was renamed Tatatóváros for a short while; one year later it was named Tata again. It was granted town status in 1954.

Switzerland sets post-Brexit quota for British migrants
Nov. 25, 2020 at 4:02 am Updated Nov. 25, 2020 at 4:03 am
GENEVA (AP) — The Swiss government says up to 3,500 migrants from Britain will be given permits to live and work in the Alpine nation next year, when Britain's post-Brexit transition with the European Union expires.
Britain's departure from the EU means that it isn't covered by Switzerland's freedom of movement agreements with the 27-nation bloc.
The Swiss government said Wednesday up to 2,100 British citizens will receive long-term residency permits. A further quota of up to 1,400 short-term residency permits valid for up to one year will also be made available. The plan does not affect Britons who already have permits to live in Switzerland.
The permits will be divided among Switzerland's 26 cantons (states) and released in quarterly batches, meaning that most regions will only be able to issue a few dozen each month.
The government said the measure is necessary to "ensure necessary flexibility for the Swiss economy."
It said that the quota of residency permits reserved for British migrants may be included in the general quota of 8,500 for third-country citizens from 2022 unless a bilateral agreement with London is signed by then.

Charles-Francois Daubigny (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Charles-Francois Daubigny Nature, and she alone, should be his guide. He wished to spend all his time with her, and set ting up his easel under the Open sky, exploring by-paths and glens, riversides, woods, and mea do ws, to paint all that charmed him. But, marry ing about this time, family cares and necessities engrossed much of his attention, and he was obliged to redouble his energies in order to cope with them. A less strong character would have sunk under duties that only added force to a nature so well tempered as his. Rarely a volume passed from the principal publishers of Paris that did not contain illustrations from his hand. He worked steadily both day and evening, often burning the midnight Oil, and when the week's work was done he would start Off in the night with his friend Geffroy Dechaume, so that all the next day might be spent amid the delights of the Open country. He went generally by preference toward Val mondois, Auvers, or isle-adam, on the banks of the Oise, some twenty miles or more north of Paris. It was at the first village that he spent the early years of his life, in charge of the good Mere Balot, his old nurse, and he always retained a deep affection for the vicinity. He immortalized Mere Bazot's cottage in one of his first etchings, The Village Wedding, where it appears among some trees to the right, and again in one Of his last Salon pictures, in 1874, painted when the good old woman had long since passed away, and the master him self was nearing the end of his journey.

Q: Double Integral Simplification I came across the equality
$$\int_a^x\int_a^tf(s)dsdt=\int_{a}^xf(s)(x-s)ds,$$
in a text that claims this is a simple exercise using partial integration, but I just don't see it. When I perform partial integration on either side, I end up with terms involving $f'$ which only complicates it further. How can I prove this equation?

A: You basically change the order of integration. The region for which you are integrating over is "upper triangle" (with $t$ axis being vertical) bounded by curves $t=x,s=a,s=t$.
So if you change the order of integration,
$$
\int_a^x \int_a^t f(s)\,ds\,dt=\int_a^x \int_s^x f(s)\,dt\,ds=\int_a^x f(s)(x-s)\,ds
$$
originally you integgrate horizontally first then vertically, but you change order of integration by integrating vertical strips first.

A review into the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) has found it is 're-traumatising' the victims of crime. CICA pays compensation to those "physically or mentally injured because they were the victim of a violent crime in England, Scotland or Wales".
Baroness Helen Newlove, who carried out the review, found that the body appeared "calculated to frustrate and alienate" those it is supposed to help. She also stated that the current application process causes a "detrimental impact" on victims.
provide details of the crimes against them including times, dates and addresses.
Evidence demonstrates that completing this part of the CICA application form is highly traumatic as it re-triggers memories of the incident.
Yet, in every case, the CICA apply to the police for a full copy of the victim statement and reports so the need for the victim to repeat their story on their application form is unclear.
Every time that they contact me wanting more information, which they already have, I have to relive it. I have to get out medical records and it's just a constant reminder for me and for Dan of what we had to go through.
This raises a question as to whether there are potentially thousands of victims who fail to claim compensation.
The report also recommended reviewing rules that people with criminal convictions cannot claim compensation.
Whilst no amount of compensation can make up for the immense suffering endured by victims of violent crime, we are committed to ensuring that they receive the help and support needed to rebuild their lives. We take this duty very seriously, which is why as part of our victims strategy last year we pledged to look at the difficulties faced by some when applying for compensation.
We have long been campaigning for an overhaul of the criminal injuries compensation scheme (CICS), so we back the victims' commissioner's recommendation and urge the government to immediately review the CICS to make it work for victims, rather than against them.

Chinese electric buses make public transport greener in Europe
By Zheng Bin, People's Daily on May 20, 2021

Pure electric buses made by Chinese automaker BYD have been exported to over 100 cities in more than 20 European countries, as new energy is being massively promoted in the transport sector on the European continent.
BYD electric buses there have run a total mileage of 60 million kilometers, reducing approximately 60,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission.
Last September, BYD signed an order of 106 pure electric buses with Nobina, the largest public transport operator in northern Europe, which marked the official entrance of the Chinese automaker into the Finnish market.
A spokesperson of Nobina said that BYD's transport solutions were cleaner, more comfortable and sustainable, and totally met Nobina's requirement for high-quality public transport.
In London, red double-decker buses made by BYD are often seen cruising on the streets. Since 2015, BYD has started cooperation with British bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) to produce pure electric buses. So far, over 400 BYD-ADL buses have hit the road, occupying over 60 percent of the market share.
Chinese manufacturing is contributing to a clean air revolution on the roads of the UK, said a regional manager of a major British bus operator.
Europe is the birthplace of modern passenger vehicles. For Chinese bus manufacturers, to have a space in the European market creates not only market value, but also brand value.
He Yipeng, general manager of BYD Europe told People's Daily that developed countries in Europe are considered priority destinations for the company when it makes overseas development strategies, as it wants to improve its own capabilities in the fierce local market competition.
In March 2020, the Chinese automaker won an iF Design Award, known as the "Design Oscar," with one of its buses. So far, over 1,500 BYD electric buses have been delivered or on order throughout Europe, accounting for around 20 percent of the market share.
Key technologies are what made the success of Chinese manufacturers in overseas market. BYD has acquired the core technologies of new energy vehicle (NEV) chips, batteries, motors, power control, charging facilities and auto assembly.
Power battery is a core part of NEV that accounts for 30 percent to 40 percent of a vehicle's cost. "Our battery technologies are advanced, and no safety accident has ever happened to our buses because of batteries," He said.
A great brand needs not only great products, but also complete services and support. When exporting its products, BYD is also promoting integrated solutions for bus electrification, developing smart monitoring and diagnosis systems for bus operation and using big data for dispatching. It has significantly reduced after-sale and maintenance cost and offered references for building future smart public transport systems, being welcomed by many countries and regions.

Die-ins
METUP is an activist group for people committed to improving the lives of women and men living with metastatic breast cancer. We will vigorously campaign to bring about change. Change the status quo. Despite what the public may think, pink campaigns don't work. Early detection does not save lives. The death rate has not improved in decades. We are not just angry about it – we are outraged. We are committed to channeling our anger into action.
Our first activism event was the big Die-In in Washington DC on October 13, 2015. The deepest pocket in breast cancer research, by far, is the federal government, and we want to get their attention and get them to shift priorities so that more of that money goes to metastatic disease. We are likely to plan more in-your-face events involving much smaller numbers but more civil disobedience. That means non-violent non-cooperation in the tradition of Gandhi and MLK, and it means arrests.
What is a Die-In?
A Die-In is just what it sounds like – a group of people lying down in protest, pretending to be dead. Die-ins are meant to trigger feelings of grief and shock, emotions that people—and, most often, those on social media—tend to want to experience alongside others when it comes to disturbing national news. They have been used by many activist organizations to protest things such as: wars, health issues (e.g. AIDS). While hard to trace the origins, it is believed that die-ins go back at least as far as the civil rights movements and maybe much further.

Image captionH&F Council and Cyclehoop scoop the Best Innovation award
The clever design of a 'bicycle parklet' has led to Hammersmith & Fulham Council scooping an award for innovation that promotes healthier communities.
The hugely popular parklet outside Brackenbury Deli, in Brackenbury Village, has a planted seating area where the local community can gather and incorporates bicycle parking spaces.
The scheme won 'Best Innovation' at the Healthy Streets Awards 2017 on Thursday (29 September).
"We are absolutely delighted that the Brackenbury bicycle parklet has rightly won the innovation award," said Cllr Wesley Harcourt, H&F Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport & Residents' Services.
"We want to be the greenest borough in the country and this is an example of the ways we're using clever urban design that promotes sustainable transport. The parklet provides not only a resting place for cyclists, but boosts local greenery and is a focal point for the community."
Instant success
The parklet incorporates wooden seating, surrounded by plants and provides bicycle parking hoops. It also helps attract and retain custom for local businesses.
The modular design can be dismantled and reassembled at another location if needed.
The parklet was provided and installed in April by bicycle storage specialists Cyclehoop and very quickly achieved the council's aim of bringing residents, shop owners and visitors together in an area where public seating is scarce.
It also offers a resting-place for passers-by and somewhere for local employees to take a break.
"This parklet was meant to be temporary, but has proved so popular I don't think residents will let us move it," added Cllr Harcourt
"We're already now exploring other locations in the borough where we can install similar designs."
The parklet successfully fended off strong competition from 22 other local authorities and organisations in the hotly-contested Best Innovation category.
The awards were held at Walthamstow Assembly Hall.

BBC Sport pundit makes prediction about Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool FC
Garth Crooks has his say on Virgil van Dijk's form and future at Liverpool FC this season
By The Sport Review staff Wednesday 15 May 2019, 00:15 UK @thesportreview
Virgil van Dijk (Photo: EA Sports)
Garth Crooks has admitted that he would be worried that Virgil van Dijk would push for a move away from Liverpool FC if the Reds fail to win the Champions League this season.
The Netherlands defender has been a revelation since his move to Anfield from Southampton in the 2018 January transfer window.
The Dutch defender was named as the PFA player of the year as he helped to marshal Liverpool FC's back-line this season as they pushed Manchester City for the title.
The Reds ended up finishing in second place in the Premier League table and a point behind Manchester City as they missed out on the trophy.
Liverpool FC are now preparing for their crunch Champions League final showdown against Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid on 1 June as they look to win their first major trophy under Jurgen Klopp.
And BBC Sport pundit Crooks believes that it is important that the Reds beat Spurs to the trophy to keep the likes of Van Dijk at the club.
Crooks is quoted as saying by Metro: "I have almost run out of superlatives to describe Virgil van Dijk's performances this season.
"What the Dutch international has brought to Liverpool's defence is almost unquantifiable.
"I do feel however, that if Liverpool fail to win the Champions League, and that is by no means certain, it may hasten Van Dijk's departure.
"Players of his class need to be playing for the best team in the world."
Liverpool FC are looking to go one step further in the Champions League this season after having finished as runners-up to Real Madrid last term.

I bought a 16 ft. above ground pool about 2 years ago for my son. I got the upgraded one with the metal supports etc. it is a tan/gray color. I paid about $600 for it. The first seaon it held up well although the pump was pretty weak. But by the second season it already had a leak in it and the vinyl was so broken down that the kids were literally getting bloody toes from the abrasive nature of the vinyl bottom. Plus, the ladder started wobbling no matter how much we tightened and adjusted it. Then the rope holding the supports in place frayed and broke and one of the supports bent. I am a single mom and financially struggling.I can't afford another pool.I live in Phoenix and it is already in the 90's here.The kids want to swim but I have to tell them sorry. Swimming is their main source of fun in the summer.Now what do I do? I have already written, sent a fax and recently sent another letter to the president of Intex corp. with no response. I guess customers don't matter much to them. I have been a loyal customer for a number of years.This is my 3rd pool, plus I have purchased other items as well. I can no longer recommend this company to my friends either.It seems that once the sale is done they don't care about the customer anymore. It seems big corporations talk a lot about the customers but don't back it up.

Dr. Davis' Popular Articles
The Berkeley Cell Phone "Right to Know" Ordinance
The Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know city ordinance requires sellers to inform customers that keeping a device in a pocket or bra could lead to radiation exposure that exceeds federal guidelines. For years, cell-phone manufacturers have vigorously resisted state and local government attempts to require warning signs about radiation exposure even though their own user manuals advise caution about carrying or holding the phone close to your body while it's transmitting. These warnings are buried deep in the tiny print of cell phone manuals.
This Ordinance was proposed in 2010, passed in 2015 and immediately slapped with a lawsuit by the Wireless Industry (The CTIA). The CTIA took the case to the Supreme Court, claiming the Ordinance violates their free speech rights by forcing them to inform cell phone buyers of this information.
In June 2018 the Supreme Court sent the case back to the California appeals court for review after the Supreme Court's new ruling on a case concerning California crisis pregnancy centers- NIFLA v. Becerra. In this ruling, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the crisis pregnancy centers who did not want to be required by a state law (passed in 2015) to inform women that the state offers reproductive care services- including abortions.
However, the Berkeley Cell phone Right To Know Ordinance differs from the NIFLA v. Becerra case in that the ordinance is factual and not controversial as in the case of NIFLA v. Becerra. Dr. Moskowitz of UC Berkeley who has been closely following the case, stated after the Supreme Court decision, "The Berkeley cell phone "right to know" ordinance requires cell phone retailers to provide consumers with "purely factual and uncontroversial disclosures about commercial products." Hence, the ordinance will likely withstand legal challenges from the CTIA and its corporate allies."
The French government tests are clear documentation that consumers must keep a distance from their phones or they can exceed FCC radiation limits. These instructions are written in the manual of the phone by the manufacturers themselves.
July 11, 2018: Lynne Peeples published an article on the Berkeley Cell Phone Ordinance in FairWarning.org "Wireless Industry Using First Amendment as a Cudgel in Its Battle Against Safety Warnings." A shorter version was picked up in McClatchy Washington DC's Bureau as "Should cell phone providers warn customers of health risks? Berkeley says yes." This article features Dr. Devra Davis, Dr. Moskowitz, Microwave News and Harvard lawyer Lawrence Lessig, who is representing Berkeley pro bono.
Watch deliberations from the California Appeals case and from the Berkeley City Council on the Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know Ordinance in the videos below. Watch more on EHT's Youtube playlist on the Berkeley Ordinance.
In 2016 France released documentation of hundreds of cell phone radiation tests showing that cell phones used in body contact positions violate regulator limits for cell phone radiation. In other words, scientific documentation exists that proves that when phones are touching your body, you can be exposed to radiation that far surpasses allowable limits. This is being called #phonegate. Click here to see a PDF of French ANFR Cell Phone Make and model with radiation test measurements. As a example of the hundreds of full cell phone test reports online by the French government, please see these examples: the Polaroid PRO 881A, the Motorola Motoluxe, the Apple iPhone 5, and the Echo Note. Please see the French test agency ANFR spreadsheet for more test reports. Read an overview of the Phonegate story here.

June 28, 2018: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in CTIA v. Berkeley after the CTIA petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling made by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Instead of hearing the case, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the appeals court for further consideration in light of the new ruling in NIFLA v. Becerra where in the Supreme Court overturned a California law that required "pregnancy crisis centers" to provide information to patients about the availability of abortion services from the state and other information the centers did not want to state.
Many experts believe that that this Supreme Court decision will support the Berkeley ordinance because the NIFLA v. Becerra states that "… we do not question the legality of health and safety warnings long considered permissible, or purely factual and uncontroversial disclosures about commercial products." (National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra, Opinion of the Court, pp. 16-17)
According to Dr. Joel Moskowitz, "The Berkeley cell phone "right to know" ordinance requires cell phone retailers to provide consumers with "purely factual and uncontroversial disclosures about commercial products." "Hence, the ordinance will likely withstand legal challenges from the CTIA and its corporate allies."

Read all of the fine print warnings for various cell phones and wireless devices at EHT's Fine Print Webpage.
Children's Language Removed
Initially the ordinance stated "This potential risk is greater for children," but that phrase was struck after the legal challenges. In September 2015, the Federal Court required the City to strike the following 7 words from the 82-word safety warning: "This potential risk is greater for children." The Judge ruled that although this sentence may be factual, it can be argued that it is controversial because the FCC does not acknowledge that children's exposure to cell phone radiation is greater than adults. The City will vote on October 6th on that one sentence modification.
In May 2015, the City of Berkeley unanimously passed an ordinance requiring cell phone retailers to provide the following safety notice to their customers.
"The City of Berkeley requires that you be provided the following notice:
To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. This potential risk is greater for children.
Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely."
The Berkeley ordinance came about after years of advocacy and is a historic win for consumers Right To Know.

September 21, 2015: Federal District Court Judge Edward Chen denied the CTIA's request for a preliminary injunction and upheld the City of Berkeley's ordinance. However, the sentence on children was deleted from the safety notification.
Read this Court Ruling here.
January 27, 2015: Judge Chen lifted the ban on the Berkeley cell phone ordinance. The city is now allowed to enforce the amended cell phone law. In his ruling, the judge rejected the CTIA's argument that the city's mandated disclosure is controversial and therefore bound by a stricter constitutional analysis. According to the ruling, "CTIA's beef should be with the FCC … If CTIA believes that the safety margin is too generous because there is no real safety concern at that level, it should take that matter up with the FCC administratively."

For additional coverage of this ordinance please go to Dr. Moskowitz's Webpage on the Berkeley cell phone ordinance
According to the 9/21/2015 Federal District Court Ruling the purpose behind the Berkeley Ordinance is as follows:
A. Requirements for the testing of cell phones were established by the federal government [i.e., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)] in 1996.
B. These requirements established "Specific Absorption Rates" (SAR).
C. The protocols for testing the SAR for cell phones carried on a person's body assumed that they would be carried a small distance away from the body, e.g., in a holster or belt clip, which was the common practice at that time. Testing of cell phones under these protocols has generally been conducted based on an assumed separation of 10-15 millimeters.
D. To protect the safety of their consumers, manufacturers recommend that their cell phones be carried away from the body, or be used in conjunction with hands-free devices.
E. Consumers are not generally aware of these safety recommendations.
F. Currently, it is much more common for cell phones to be carried in pockets or other locations rather than holsters or belt clips, resulting in much smaller separation distances than the safety recommendations specify.
G. Some consumers may change their behavior to better protect themselves and their children if they are aware of these safety recommendations.
H. While the disclosures and warnings that accompany cell phones generally advise consumers not to wear them against their bodies, e.g., not in pockets, waistbands, etc., these disclosures and warnings are often buried in fine print, are not written in easily understood language, or are accessible only by looking for the information inside on-screen menus on the device itself.
I. The purpose of this Chapter is to assure that consumers have the information they need to make their own choices about the extent and nature of their exposure to radiofrequency radiation.

Witnesses say Fort Hood gunman kept firing outside
FORT HOOD, Texas – As dozens of soldiers lay dead or bleeding in a Fort Hood processing center last year, a gunman went outside and continued firing as others ran to nearby buildings, hid behind cars or carried wounded comrades to safety, witnesses told a military court Friday.
Chief Warrant Officer II Christopher Royal said he ran out of the center where soldiers were preparing to deploy after he heard gunshots and saw the shooter, but then decided to go back and try to stop the rampage, because "I told myself I could not let him get away with it."

Soldier says ordered to delete Fort Hood videos
FORT HOOD, Texas – A soldier who recorded the terror of last year's deadly shooting rampage in Fort Hood using his cell phone was ordered by an officer to delete both videos, a military court heard Friday.
Under cross examination, Pfc. Lance Aviles told an Article 32 hearing that his noncommissioned officer ordered him to destroy the two videos on Nov. 5, the same day a gunman unleashed a volley of bullets inside a processing center at the Texas Army post.
The footage could have been used as evidence at the military hearing to decide if Maj. Nidal Hasan should stand trial in the shootings. The 40-year-old American-born Muslim has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

Here's some History for you Mr. Obama
You know when I went to school years ago, I remember being in History Class. We were taught about Christopher Columbus and his trip in search of the New World. He had three ships, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. I don't remember the Nina, the Pinta and the Mohammad Ali. I don't remember any Muslim signing the Constitution or the Bill or Rights. I do remember Muslims siding with Germany during WWII. I remember the Assassination of Robert Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan. I remember the 1972 Olympics when Muslim terrorist took 11 Israelis hostage and killed all of them. I remember in 1979, the Iran hostage crisis at the US Embassy in Tehran, where 66 Americans were taken hostage. I remember in 1983 Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing of a US Marine Barracks in Lebanon, killing 299 American and French Servicemen.
Is this the kind of history that Mr. Obama spoke of when he said that Muslims have contributed to American history? How is it that according to a resent story posted on this site, that the killings at Ft Hood by Maj. Hasan, a Muslim, is now regarded as "work place violence", when Maj. Hasan was heard praising Allah before killing 13 Americans.
How are honor killings, according to Shariah Law considered just in this country? Is it not still murder? And since when do we have a different set of laws for one group of people? Shariah Law is not part of America, it is part of an evil culture that still believe they are living in the 7thCentury.
Seventy percent of Americans are against the Mosque at Ground Zero.
Why is it not 100%

Ft. Hood suspect was Army dilemma
WASHINGTON – Army superiors were warned about the radicalization of Major Nidal Malik Hasan years before he allegedly massacred 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, but did not act in part because they valued the rare diversity of having a Muslim psychiatrist, military investigators wrote in previously undisclosed reports.
An obvious "problem child'' spouting extremist views, Hasan made numerous statements that were not protected by the First Amendment and were grounds for discharge by violating his military oath, investigators found.
Examples of Hasan's radical behavior have previously been disclosed in press accounts based on interviews with unnamed Army officials, including his defense of suicide bombings and assertions that Islamic law took priority over his allegiance to the United States.
But the Pentagon's careful documentation of individual episodes dating back to 2005 and the subsequent inaction of his superiors have not been made public before.
The Globe was permitted to review the Army's more complete findings on the condition that it not name supervisory officers who did not act, some of whom are facing possible disciplinary action.
In searching for explanations for why superiors did not move to revoke Hasan's security clearances or expel him from the Army, the report portrays colleagues and superiors as possibly reluctant to lose one of the Army's few Muslim mental health specialists.
The report concludes that because the Army had attracted only one Muslim psychiatrist in addition to Hasan since 2001, "it is possible some were afraid'' of losing such diversity "and thus were willing to overlook Hasan's deficiencies as an officer.''
"Several of his supervisors explicitly mentioned Hasan's potential to inform our understanding of Islamic culture and how it relates to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,'' the investigators found.
In one classroom incident not previously described by the Army – which parallels another episode around the same time that has received press attention – Hasan gave a presentation in August 2007 titled "Is the War on Terrorism a War on Islam: An Islamic Perspective.''
But the presentation was "shut down'' by the instructor because Hasan appeared to be defending terrorism. Witnesses told investigators that Hasan became visibly upset as a result.
"The students reported his statements to superior officers, who took no action on the basis that Major Hasan's statements were protected by the First Amendment,'' the investigation found. "They did not counsel Hasan and consider administrative action, even though not all protected speech is compatible with continued military service.''
It added: "Soldiers have rights under the First Amendment, but they are not the same rights as civilians. . . . [T]hese statements violated the Army . . . standard to hold a security clearance.''
Hasan, 39, allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers Nov. 5 at the Texas base, killing 13 and wounding 32 others. If convicted by a military court, he could face the death penalty.Continued..

Major Hasan and the Ideological Blinders
By Walid Phares
Major Nidal Hasan was not flagged because Washington has disarmed its own analysts with ideological blinders. The Pentagon's review of the act of terrorism committed at Fort Hood deserves national attention regarding not only its important conclusions, but also what it missed in terms of analysis.
Jihadi Penetration: Part of a War
As announced by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, the report "reveals serious 'shortcomings' in the military's ability to stop foreign extremists from trying to use America's own soldiers against the United States." The Pentagon's review of the Fort Hood massacre stated that "serious shortcomings" were found in "the military's ability to stop foreign extremists from trying to use its own soldiers against the United States." The first question that comes to mind is whether the issue is about "shortcomings," as described by the Pentagon, or about "systemic failures," as announced by President Obama in his evaluation of the Christmas Day terror act. For as underlined by the Department of Defense in the case of Major Hasan, these failures were about the military's ability to "stop foreign terrorists from using American soldiers against the United States."
Such a statement is extremely important, as it finally informs the public that the U.S. personnel roster is indeed being infiltrated and recruited by foreign jihadists, who are described politically by the administration as "extremists." Hence, the first logical conclusion from that finding is that jihadi networks are performing acts of war (and thus of terrorism) against U.S. defense assets and personnel in the homeland. This warrants the reevaluation of the conflict and a re-upgrading of it to a state of war, even though it would still need to be determined "with whom."
Self-Radicalization
Secretary Gates said that "military supervisors are not properly focused on the threat posed by self-radicalization and need to better understand the behavioral warning signs." He added that "extremists are changing their tactics in an attempt to hit the United States." He then concluded that the Fort Hood massacre "reveals shortcomings in the way the department is prepared to defend against threats posed by external influences operating on members of our military community. … We have not done enough to adapt to the evolving domestic internal security threat to American troops and military facilities."
The bottom line of the Department of Defense report is, as I relentlessly argued before and since Hasan's shootings, that the U.S. military and intelligence lack the capability of detecting radicalization, should it be "self"-developed or activated from overseas. American analysts are not able to "detect" radicalization from where it is generated. In my last three books and dozens of briefings and testimonies to legislative and executive forums, I underlined the crucial importance of identifying the ideology behind radicalization. The latter is produced by a set of ideas assembled in a doctrinal package.
Unfortunately, the Bush and Obama administrations were both poorly advised by their experts. They were told, wrongly, that if they try to identify a "doctrine," then they will be meddling with a religion. Academic and cultural advisers of the various U.S. agencies and offices (the majority of them, at least) failed their government by triggering a fear of theological entanglement. To the surprise of our Arab and Muslim allies in the region, who know how to detect the jihadist narrative, Washington disarmed its own analysts when bureaucrats of the last two years banned references to the very ideological indicators that could enable our analysts to detect the radicalization threat.
And it is not about "extreme religious views" as much as it is about an ideology. If Arabs and Muslims can identify it in the Middle East, why can't Americans also? It is simply because jihadi propaganda has already penetrated our advising body and fooled many of our decision-makers into dropping the ideological parameters.
Hence, stunningly, Major Hasan, who fully displayed the narrative of jihadism, was not spotted as a jihadist. The report tried to blame his colleagues and other superiors for failing to find him "suspicious enough" and thus for causing a shortcoming. I disagree: What allowed Hasan to move undetected was a bureaucratic memo issued under both administrations, and made into policy last summer, ordering the members of the public service not to look at ideology or refer to words that can detect it. We did it to ourselves.
The Strategic Threat Ahead
The report raises "serious questions" about whether the military is prepared for similar attacks, particularly "multiple, simultaneous incidents." In my book, Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies against America, published half a decade ago, I sternly warned about the strategic determination of jihadists, al-Qaeda and beyond, to target the U.S. homeland — not just in terms of terrorizing the public, but in the framework of a chain of strikes widening gradually until it would evolve to coordinated, simultaneous attacks. In 2006-2007, I served on the then Task Force on Future Terrorism of the Department of Homeland Security and developed an analysis clearly showing the path to come. My briefings to several entities and agencies in the defense sector clearly argued that implanting, growing, and triggering homegrown jihadists to strike at U.S. national security is at the heart of the enemy's strategy. I even projected the existence of a "war room" that directs these operations; Imam al-Awlaki's example of multiple operatives' coordination is only a small fragment of what it would be like.
In facing this mushrooming threat, not only do we lack a detection capacity to counter it, but we have been induced in error to adopt policies opposite to those suitable to our national defense. The misleading advice that the U.S. government relied on is deeply responsible for the failure to stop and counter radicalization. The report, although a step in the right direction, has troubling shortcomings:
A. It claims that "fixation on religion" is a missing indicator. This means that if Muslims insist on praying or Catholics refrain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent, this could be a lead to radicalization. Obviously, it is a dead end, for the indicator is the substance of the fixation, not the mere fact of religiosity. One statement of commitment to jihad is by far more important than fasting during the whole month of Ramadan. It is not theology but ideology, even though many writers in town insist on merging both based on their readings of text. I offer our government an easier way to detect the threat without venturing into unnavigable religious debates or unnecessarily apologizing for one or another particular faith.
B. The report describes Hasan as "an odd duck and a loner who was passed along from office to office and job to job despite professional failings that included missed or failed exams and physical fitness requirements." Nice shot, but it leads nowhere, for the other potential Hasans amongst us aren't all necessarily odd, failed students, and physically unfit. The next jihadists could be sharp, professional, and extremely social. It all depends on what the "War Room" is going to surprise us with. Medical doctors in Britain, rich young men from Nigeria, or converted farmers from North Carolina aren't all in one profile basket. So let's stop looking for framing "profiles" and start detecting ideology.
C. The report calls on the Defense Department "to fully staff those teams of investigators, analysts, linguists and others so the Pentagon can quickly see information collected across government agencies about potential links between troops and terrorist or extremist groups." This is a long-awaited initiative, short of creating further catastrophes by staffing our bureaucracies with more cultural advisers who would further mislead our leaders and worsen the fledgling counter-ideology sectors already in place. I am making the bold statement that our problem is precisely that the expertise we sought over the past eight years is the reason for our inability to detect radicalization. Hence I would recommend an additional inquiry into our own specialization body before we re-contract it to lead the war of ideas.
The beef is there. Everything else is dressing

Definition - What does Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) mean?
Balance technology extended (BTX) is a form factor for motherboards that was initially intended to replace the 2004 and 2005 ATX motherboard. BTX is designed to decrease power needs and reduce heat. Furthermore, it employs enhanced technology that includes the serial advanced technology attachment (ATA), universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 and peripheral component interconnect (PCI) express. It is standardized by Intel and is not backward compatible with the ATX.
The BTX was first introduced by Gateway Inc. and then by MPC Corporation and Dell Inc. It was also used in Apple's Mac Pro but was not BTX compliant. By September 2006, Intel canceled development; this was largely due to the lack of backward compatibility with the ATX form factor.
One of the most recognized features is the enhanced thermal module. It sits at the front of the board that draws air over components that produce the most heat: the chipset, the CPU and the graphics card. The thermal module consists of a heat sink, fan, duct, seal and clip. There are two thermal module types, Type 1 and Type II. Type I is used in most cases, while Type II is for smaller personal computers (PCs).
Although the BTX was initially intended to replace the 2004 and 2005 ATX motherboard, the form factor design was incompatible with the ATX. Overall, the BTX motherboard and thermal module will not fit in an ATX case but the ATX power supply will work fine in a regular and tall BTX case.

Ryanair passenger's complaint on Facebook gets support of 350,000 fellow users
HILDA HIGGINS
Michael O'Leary owner of Irish low-cost airline RyanairGoogle Images
A disgruntled Ryanair passenger who took to Facebook to complain about the budget airlines extra fees has received the support of over 350,000 users.
Suzy McLeod from Newbury, Berkshire, complained after Michael O'Leary's airline charged her an additional €300 ($374) to print out five boarding passes before a flight from Alicante to Bristol on August 15.
A day later she wrote on a Facebook page devoted to Ryanair, "I had previously checked in online but because I hadn't printed out the boarding passes, Ryanair charged me €60 per person! Meaning I had to pay €300 for them to print out a piece of paper! Please 'like' if you think that's unfair."
Over the course of five days, McLeod's comment had received over 350,000 'likes' with around 18,000 comments of support.
The Facebook page has since been disabled, but a screen grab of the comment is available here.
If McLeod had failed to print out her boarding pass on her flight from Bristol to Alicante, she would have faced a further bill of £300 as the airline an exchange rate of £1=€1.
Speaking to the Telegraph, the mother of two explained how a budget holiday turned into an expensive family getaway.
McLeod said: "We went on holiday for 15 days and so I couldn't print the return boarding passes because you can only do that two weeks before the flight.
"I had the passes on my phone as pdf documents and thought this would be sufficient. What was originally meant to be a cheap holiday ended up costing a lot.
"We had to scrap every penny we had in cash on us to pay it. It was stressful and unnecessary.
"I don't think we'll use them again. We wouldn't even consider them."
The Irish airline is known for its no frills policy and charges customers €6 ($7) per person per flight "admin fee" and €6 ($&) "web check-in fee".
The 35-year-old said she was overwhelmed by the response to her Facebook post.
She said, "It's been absolutely crazy. What it has shown me is that there are a huge amount of people who have had bad experiences with Ryanair. I didn't expect so many people to react to it. It must have struck a chord with some people."
Defending the move, a spokesman for the airline said, "As is clearly outlined in the terms and conditions for every Ryanair passenger, Mrs McLeod agreed at the time of booking that she and her fellow passengers would check in online and print their boarding cards before arriving at their departure airport, and she also accepted and agreed that if she failed to do so then she would pay our boarding card re-issue penalty of £60 per passenger."
