It was a very strange week.
On Tuesday, I was dancing with my children and hundreds of others as we danced and sang with Sifrei Torah at Simchat Torah.
On Wednesday, I was speaking to hundreds of non-Jewish 6th form students by the gas chambers in Auschwitz Birkenau.
Yet there was a very beautiful link between the two.
The link was powerful even before I received a Whatsapp video last Sunday, although the connection after that video is incredible – let me explain – and it may take a while!
'I met a man last Sunday; he was on his way back home, from a wedding in Chicago, and was traveling alone.
My heart said, "Go to Vilna", dare I pray yet once again, For the chance to find a loved one, or perhaps a childhood friend?
The reason I tell them the words from the song is to stress to them the eternity of the Jewish people and to explain to them what they are coming to see has not died and not been forgotten but is a living breathing way of life. I say to them, 'The Nazi's could destroy our bodies, but they couldn't destroy our souls – Am Yisrael Chai' (I translate Am Yisrael Chai).
So there I was, the day after Simchat Torah with this song – which would have been so relevant but then came another story which I heard just five days ago, sent to me by Rabbi Rafi Garson, one of the other Rabbis who leads the Lessons from Auschwitz trips. It was the true story that inspired the song.
Avraham Fuksman was hidden by his nanny during the Holocaust. She baptised him and raised him as a Catholic as Henryk Stanislaw Kurpi. After liberation, his parents had to reintroduce their son to his family and to his heritage.
His father waited four months to take him, a five-year-old child, to a synagogue for the first time.
On the way to shul they passed a church, the little boy crossed himself, they met a priest and he kissed his hand – he was properly trained!
The first service he was taken to was …… Simchat Torah 1945.
You can just imagine, Simchat Torah, the year of liberation! Jews celebrated life and the little boy loved it!
They sang and danced in that shul and a Russian officer came over to the boy's father and asked if the boy was Jewish, he was blond and blue eyed. The father said, 'Yes, my son is Jewish'. The officer then said: 'I have travelled thousands of kilometres as a Russian officer and I have never seen a Jewish child of this age… alive, can I please dance with your son?' The father agreed, and the officer took the boy on his shoulders and danced with him.
It was after this that the boy told his father he wanted to be Jewish and was the beginning of his life as a Jewish person.
Avraham Fuksman – eventually moved to the USA where he was better known as Abe Foxman who for almost thirty years headed up the Anti-Defamation League and is currently the head of the Centre for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City.
However, that wasn't the end of the story. The officer Leo Goldman moved to the United States and became a Rabbi in Detroit where he continued to lift Jews from all walks of life.
In 2007, Abe Foxman told the story at Yad Vashem. There, an Israeli researcher embarked on a quest to find the dancing man in uniform. She discovered the song by Abie Rotenberg who had credited the Rabbi as the inspiration for the song.
So, what did I tell those students? I told them to realise that not only are we are an eternal people but what Abe Foxman – the child in the story has been fighting all his life for – they are all part of that same struggle.
I told them that they must stand up against the hatred coming from Corbyn and co as they now can see by coming here to see first-hand the horrors of the Shoah and to realise where hate can eventually end if it is not stopped.
Dancing with my kids on Simchat Torah and educating non-Jewish students at Auschwitz are linked by a remarkable person, a remarkable story and the dual message that we are an eternal people but must always be prepared to fight against those who wish to harm us.

The R 9100 is the third Liebherr excavator for Glencore's Bulga in the last 12 months.
Bulga Open Cut, a key asset of Glencore Coal Assets, and a strategic site to Liebherr-Australia's Mt Thorley branch, proudly welcomed the first Liebherr R 9100 mining excavator commissioned in the Hunter Valley on 20 March 2017. The machine is one of the new generation 100 t hydraulic excavators from Liebherr's Excavator factory in Colmar, France; it continues the Liebherr tradition of innovative mining equipment and services exceeding customers' expectations of safety, quality, productivity and reliability.
The R 9100 is a proven machine with over 60 units commissioned worldwide and is one of the most productive excavators in its class. With fast cycle times and low fuel consumption, it has become a key utility mining machine to deliver value for money for Tier 1 miners right through to emerging Mining Contractors.
Bulga Open Cut had a very specific requirement to put the R 9100 in a difficult sloping coal seam in the East Pit, and are actually running this against a competitor OEM wheel loader option to load coal. The machine will work exclusively to extract coal and its productivity, reliability, total cost of ownership and overall value for money will be closely monitored as it goes about its work. The R 9100 also sees the introduction of the all new Liebherr Z 100 GET, which is another first for Liebherr-Australia Mt Thorley branch and Bulga.
The delivery of the R 9100 continues an ever-expanding relationship between Bulga Open Cut and the Mt Thorley branch, being the 3rd Liebherr excavator to be delivered in the last 12 months.


Everyone acknowledges the decision indicates a significant cultural shift. Evangelical Christians look around and observe that our cultural landscape "looks" less Christian (from the standpoint of a traditional Judeo-Christian ethic) than it did even a few short decades ago. The question then becomes, how can we keep our footing amidst the shifting soils of our larger culture?
Thankfully, we are not left to ourselves on how to answer this question. Back in the time of the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah, God's people spent some time exiled from their homeland. In this environment, they could look around and easily observe how much distance there was between their values as God's people (values given to them by God), and certain values of the dominant culture.
1. Construct, cultivate, and create.
In this Letter to the Exiles that Jeremiah writes on behalf of the Lord, some of the first words are to "build houses," "settle in," "plant crops," and "marry and have kids" (Jeremiah 29:5-6). In other words, do the normal things that contribute to a stable, healthy, faithful, flourishing life. I think these words also force us to note what Jeremiah DIDN'T say: Don't retreat. Don't panic. Don't isolate. Stay engaged, and contribute.
2. Seek the good of the surrounding culture.
Beyond contributing to the normal rhythms of a stable and flourishing life, Jeremiah also says to seek the good of the place the Lord brought you (Jeremiah 29:7). Jeremiah was writing to people living in Babylon. Idolatrous, imperial, sinful Babylon. This wasn't Mayberry. And yet Jeremiah says to seek the good of that place. Pray for it. In the same way, we can seek the good (understood in the biblical, gospel-centric sense of "good") of the larger environment in which we find ourselves. This might be a long process that requires patience and perseverance. But it doesn't change the call to seek the good of the place in which we've been placed.
3. Remember that God is still in control.
The Babylonian exile doesn't mean God has abandoned His people, nor does it mean He's not in control. Jeremiah 29:10-11 remind us that God is still in perfect control of history regardless of external circumstances. These verses remind us that God is still planning ultimate good for His people.
4. Conduct a personal spiritual diagnostic.
There are a couple of places in this chapter where God offers His people an indirect invitation. In Jeremiah 29:12-13, Jeremiah talks about God's people seeking God and finding Him when they call on Him with all their heart. A few verses does in Jeremiah 29:19, the Lord reminds His people that they have a history of not listening to His words. When we put these together, then, we see an implicit invitation to seek God with all our heart, and to listen carefully to His words (and obey them!). Let's not miss this opportunity for personal reflection, confession, and whole-hearted obedience.
5. Be discerning about who you listen to.
These words from God to the exiles in Babylon helped them live faithfully in a dominant culture that had different values than the people of God. May these words guide us, as we seek to keep our footing in the midst of changing cultural soils today.

COVID-19 Aftermath: Burden Falls Mainly on Small Businesses
Among the sectors affected by the COVID-19, SMBs seem to be among the hardest hit. Even when the short-term effects end, the long-term economic impacts will ripple for years.

While the discussion on reducing the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic response often focuses on macroeconomics, a decades-old observation by renowned economist Paul Krugman comes to mind: "Countries do not buy or sell goods overseas, companies do." The pandemic-induced slowdown first and foremost affects the real economy – made up of businesses and the people who work for them.
Within this business world, small companies are likely to suffer more than larger ones because they tend to be more vulnerable with fewer resources to adapt to a rapidly changing context. Even when the short-term effects end, the long-term economic impact will ripple for years.
Small Businesses Are Most Vulnerable to COVID-19 Impacts
Record Revenue Loss
Small businesses cover 99% of all businesses and employ 50% of the US workforce. The pros of running a small firm is that you're able to stay agile and pivot almost on demand as the market changes. However, on the flip side of things, since so many small businesses are lean and bootstrapped, it does not take much disruption for normal day-to-day operations to feel that squeeze — especially their bank accounts.
Measures to contain the virus, such as lockdowns and quarantines, caused devastating ripples to business operations and disrupted international supply chains. Sales decreased significantly and inputs were difficult to reach. In other words, small businesses got hindered both in demand and supply.
Image Source: Main Street America
After surveying 1,500 of its small business owners throughout the US, Goldman Sachs reported that approximately 75% said they might not be able to exist in 3 months because of the drop off in sales. Nearly two-thirds of micro and small firms said their business operations were strongly affected by the crisis, compared with about 40% for large companies.
Hospitality and travel are two of the biggest industries impacted by COVID-19 thanks to travel cancellations, restaurant and bar closures, and low consumer confidence. Manufacturing and construction have largely held off on layoff decisions, but these industries could suffer the strain as consumer demand drops.
Courtesy: Quora
Most small businesses lack the cash reserves to weather a month-long interruption, and forecasts indicate more than 2 million workers could lose their jobs in just one week as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. There is also possibility of a "startup depression," wherein new companies don't enter the job market because of the pandemic.
The effect on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises is especially severe, partly because they are overrepresented in sectors most strongly hit by the crisis, such as accommodation and food services, or wholesale and retail services. Indeed, small businesses are particularly vulnerable: they tend to have fewer assets and limited cash reserves to cushion the lockdown-induced liquidity shortages.
Highest Layoffs in Several Years
A precipitous surge in unemployment continues to shake the US workforce in the wake of COVID-19. Total claims have reached 35.7 million until April 6, according to Main Street America.
The challenge is especially acute for small businesses (those with 500 or fewer employees), which account for a disproportionate share of the vulnerable jobs. Before COVID-19, they provided nearly half of all US private-sector jobs, yet they account for 54 percent (30 million) of the jobs most vulnerable during COVID-19.
Image Source: Layoffs(dot)fyi
Given the distribution of industries and occupations in each of the states, 42 of the 50 states will have a larger share of their vulnerable jobs in small businesses than in large ones. In California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas the number of vulnerable small-business jobs ranges from 1.0 million to 3.5 million per state.
Even though initial steps are underway to ease lockdowns, up to a third of all US jobs remain vulnerable. One of the challenges for policy makers and executives is figuring out how to get these employees back to work. Yet because they employ so many people, the associated job loss would aggravate the economic downturn created by the pandemic.
On the Verge of Shutdown & Bankruptcy
Small businesses face more severe resource constraints than larger firms and thus find it harder to survive when negatively affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Not surprisingly, one-fifth (21%) of small businesses reported that they risked shutting down permanently within three months.
Youth-led firms were also at higher risk of permanently closing their business. Even after taking into account that youth-led firms tend to be smaller, it appears they find it harder to adapt to turmoil. Possible reasons include lack of diversification, social networks, experience, and access to resources.

Data also indicates that young entrepreneurs have a somewhat different attitude to government support measures during the COVID-19 crisis. Young entrepreneurs found it easier, on average, to access information and benefits from COVID-related government assistance programs compared with older respondents. When asked what the government could do to help, young entrepreneurs emphasized support in the short term to reduce costs. They were significantly more likely to view rent subsidies as most helpful, for example. Employment programs and support to self-employed people were also popular among young people.
How Small Businesses are Coping With COVID-19 Crisis
#1: Utilize remote collaboration tools
Shifting to remote work is not that easy. Fortunately, there are several tools for facilitating team interaction: from video-conferencing to project management, and time-tracking. In the wake of COVID-19, remote collaboration tools serve as great assets to your business. Most of them come in free light versions as well as more complex paid versions packed with additional features.
#2: Adapt your services to 'a new normal' in consumer behavior
The outbreak has caused a massive influence on what and how people purchase. With more than one-third of the world's population being under some form of lockdown, consumer behaviors are changing dramatically. Small businesses that have ability to adapt to changes quickly are facing unprecedented demand for products and services that can guide people through life under quarantine.

Some businesses were able to adapt to the outbreak fast, forcing the ongoing evolution of their products further, faster and in more fascinating ways than ever before:
LifePoints, an app to reward users for time spent at the gym, has released a new version of its fitness app to reward users who are staying at home.
Boxcar, New Jersey-based parking application transforms into food delivery app.
Airbnb launches 'Online Experiences' that include virtual hangouts with goats and cooking classes.
#3: Choose a strategy for communicating with your customers
As part of your strategy to survive the coronavirus, planning for effective business communication during the lockdown is your #1 objective. If you rarely used the internet for business previously, it's time to increase your social network presence.
Update your website to let your clients know that you are working remotely during the quarantine. This will not only enable you to keep some of your leads but also instill a sense of reassurance into your customers. Transparent communication will ensure that they come back to you after the lockdown.
#4: Change your marketing and sales strategy
Change is surely the most adequate coronavirus business response. You will have to adapt your business processes to physical and financial limitations. Here are some ideas you could start with:
Offer online deals: discounts, certificates, pricing changes, etc.
Focus on serving your customers through digital channels. Offer consultations and advice through messengers, face-to-face video conferences, online broadcasts, etc.
Conduct online marathons, questions & answers, and video product demos.
Offer additional services that are in demand during the quarantine, such as pick up services of a wrapped/sealed order without entering the store, "non-contact" food delivery, etc.
In the wake of coronavirus, business continuity is your primary goal. These steps will help you retain customers. Show them that your company is socially responsible and well-equipped to survive COVID-19.
#5: Consider an online shift
This will not apply to all businesses, but for some entrepreneurs, a complete online shift will be a viable strategy. Most citizens of countries with developed economies own smartphones and mobile devices, are ardent Internet users and will look for products and entertainment online. Offline businesses can quickly switch to working online by utilizing bespoke app development. For companies offering delivery, broadcasting, and event services an online shift may be highly relevant.
One way or the other, the COVID-19 outbreak will subside, and the global economy will embark on the long and painstaking journey of recovery. How well your business survives the crisis will depend not only on its inherent resilience but also on how well you prepare your company for the coronavirus lockdown and its limitations.
Post-COVID Phase: What to Learn for Small Businesses
Pro-competitive approaches build the adaptive capacity of the business every time a shock hits, as employees learn how to adjust and start to take advantage of each new round of change. Resilient and agile approaches maintain competitiveness by ensuring that a business can weather the storm in as good shape as before, or even stronger. Resilient firms are getting through the pandemic with their basic form intact. They often have a deliberate strategy – sometimes concocted beforehand – that temporarily scales down the business in a manner that will allow it to resume fully later on. One way they do this is by moving to back-up-products, suppliers, or markets.
Courtesy: Facebook for business
Resilient approaches use win-win options that pay off now and/or have added social, environmental, and economic benefits. This can lead to a virtuous cycle as a company strengthens its capacity to change and its alignment with new business realities. As a result, resilient firms emerge from the crisis in as good shape as before, if not better. Resiliency during the pandemic has entailed strategies such as shifting the sales mix towards online channels, sourcing from new suppliers or learning to telework. About 60% of the enterprises that responded to the ITC COVID-19 survey adopted this approach to cope with the coronavirus.
An even more constructive reaction to risk is to take advantage of it. Agile firms change form in response to the current situation, however new it is. This may include customizing or proposing new products or business models according to new market trends. Agile firms have created new products and services such as designer masks and rapid testing technologies during the pandemic. When lockdowns prevented them from opening, they lent their employees to other active businesses in essential industries. Roughly 21% of the companies that responded to the survey adopted this strategy to deal with the pandemic. Here is where it is good to be small, because it is easier for small firms to take swift decisions and develop new products quickly.
What SMEs may lack in productivity, they gain in agility. Indeed, the ITC COVID-19 survey reveals that small and medium-sized companies were far more likely to adopt agile responses to the crisis than larger firms. Large businesses, for their part, were significantly more likely to adopt a resilient approach than SMEs, underscoring their greater capacity to ride out the storm. The key take-away from this analysis is that while large companies can afford to stay put and be resilient, small companies must either adapt to the crisis in an agile manner or collapse.
Spurred by the need to accommodate remote working, we are living in an increasingly dematerialized world. Zoom calls and cloud computing make physical presence optional. The pandemic has forced companies to accelerate transformational digital investments. This has consequences for the third trend, jobs.
Job losses will be severe even at healthy companies. Some companies have paused restructurings, but a combination of weaker economic growth and new digital investments is going to hold down the need for employees. Physical sales forces will give way to digital marketers. Business re-engineering plans – which mean workforce restructurings – have new urgency. When survival is at stake, tough decisions can be made.
Digitalization and job losses have, of course, been with us for some time but emergencies like pandemics force action. COVID-19 is accelerating the pace of change. The outcome could be a world with greater opportunities for more people, a world of healthier people. Or it could be a dystopian future in which a small number of wealthy knowledge workers and their political allies use the tools of surveillance and digitalization to protect their privileges against a far larger number of have-nots. The decisions we make as the panic subsides will go a long way to answering these questions. This is not a time for rashness, for decisions that are made in times of crisis tend to get locked in and remain. This time is one that will test businesses and countries alike. Leadership at all levels will be put to the test.
Small businesses are a recognized proving ground for entrepreneurs, a vibrant source of innovation and competition, and an essential source of employment. They are suppliers and customers to the broader economy and deeply embedded in local communities. Governments around the world realize that small businesses act as a lynchpin connecting the pandemic to broader economic recession. In addition to addressing the health crisis, they have scrambled to alleviate the impact of COVID-19 on small firms, introducing policies to help them cope with the short-term financial risks and long-term business implications. If these measures succeed, they will reduce layoffs, prevent bankruptcy, encourage investment, and help economies recover as soon as possible in the aftermath of the crisis.

Nareit Panel Previews 2020 Congressional Elections
11/13/2019 | By Sarah Borchersen-Keto
During the first day of REITworld: 2019 annual conference in Los Angeles, a panel of Nareit experts previewed the 2020 congressional elections and provided updates on key legislative items.
Robert Dibblee, senior vice president, government relations, focused on developments in the Senate, where 23 Republican and 12 Democratic seats will be in play next year. Meanwhile, John Jones, vice president, government relations, noted that Republicans would need to flip 18 seats to regain control of the House of Representatives in 2020. Cathy Barre, executive vice president and general counsel, said it appears at this time that Democrats have a "slight edge" to retain the House in 2020.
Key issues in the 2020 election, according to the panel, are expected to include: trade and the economy; health care; immigration; climate control; and defense and national security issues.
The panel also highlighted the status of legislation to extend terrorism risk insurance ahead of the Dec. 31 2020 deadline, as well as California's "split roll" ballot initiative, which would result in property tax increases if it is approved by voters next year.
Tony Edwards, senior executive vice president, moderated the panel.

President Trump Signs Legislation to Reauthorize TRIA Through 2027


Randy Scheunemann, founder and president of the public relations firm Orion Strategies, is a well-connected lobbyist and political insider who has advised a number of conservative political figures, supported the work of various neoconservative-led advocacy groups, and lobbied on behalf of defense industry clients and foreign governments.
Along with neoconservative figures like Robert Kagan and William Kristol, Scheunemann served as a director of the now-defunct Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a letterhead group that played an important role in building support for the Iraq War and an expansive "war on terror." He also headed the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI), a post-9/11 advocacy outfit that pushed for war in Iraq. Like PNAC, CLI played a key role forging a coalition of Beltway figures who supported a Middle East agenda that had at its core toppling Saddam Hussein. Other CLI members included Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT).
Scheunemann has long been closely associated with Senator McCain, having worked on his various presidential bids, including in 2000 and 2008.
Scheunemann was sharply critical of other presidential contenders during the 2008 campaign, sometimes charging them with having a "September 10 mindset" that was not suited to fighting terrorism. While commenting on Mitt Romney's support for "timetables and milestones" for the Iraqi government, Scheunemann asserted that McCain "does not believe in timetables or deadlines, secret or otherwise. He has made it clear that setting a timetable or deadline is nothing more than setting a date certain for surrender." In mid-2007, Scheunemann called the idea of withdrawing troops from Iraq "ludicrous. Because the idea that we will be able to better prevent sectarian violence and fight al-Qaida better from Kuwait than how we are doing it now is laughable."
Scheunemann worked previously for McCain as an adviser for the senator's failed 2000 presidential bid during a period when the candidate's views on foreign affairs evolved dramatically. John Judis writes that the candidate began "seeking to differentiate his views from those of other Republican presidential aspirants and from the growing isolationism of House Republicans … [placing] his new interventionist instincts within a larger ideological framework. That ideological framework was neoconservatism. McCain began reading the Weekly Standard and conferring with its editors, particularly Bill Kristol." Shortly after his staff consulted with Kristol, McCain hired a bevy of neoconservative-aligned operatives, including Scheunemann, Marshall Wittmann, and Daniel McKivergan.
The impact of this group of advisors on the senator's thinking was revealed in early 1999, Judis reported, when McCain spoke at Kansas State University using a speech Scheunemann helped draft. In it, McCain echoed the neoconservative idea of "national greatness conservatism," arguing: "The United States is the indispensable nation because we have proven to be the greatest force for good in human history…. [W]e have every intention of continuing to use our primacy in world affairs for humanity's benefit." Judis reported about the stumping, "The centerpiece of the speech was a strategy that McCain called 'rogue-state rollback,'" a term Scheunemann claimed to have created based on rhetoric used by critics of 1950s Cold War containment strategy.
Scheunemann's Capitol Hill experience dates back to the mid-1980s, when he began working for a number of congressional committees. According to his biography on the PNAC website, between 1986 and 1993 Scheunemann "served on the staffs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Republican Policy Committee." He then became a senior advisor to Republican presidential candidate Sen. Bob Dole (R-KS) in 1996, served on the 1996 Republican Platform Committee, and between 1993 and 1999 was national security advisor for Dole and Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS). In 1997, during the time he worked as a congressional aide for Lott, Scheunemann reportedly forgot to remove a shotgun from his car after a duck-hunting trip; when he drove up to the U.S. Capitol to report for work, he was arrested for possession of an unregistered firearm.
Scheunemann's PNAC bio states that during his time working on the Hill, he "was involved in Senate deliberations concerning the use of American military power in Somalia, the Korean Peninsula, Iraq, Haiti, and Bosnia. He also served as coordinator for Senate Republican policy on UN reform, congressional-executive war powers, NATO enlargement, global climate change, economic sanctions, ballistic missile defense, and technology transfers to China."
Scheunemann helped draft the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act, which made the toppling of Saddam Hussein an official U.S. policy goal and authorized $98 million for the Iraqi National Congress, a loose grouping of Iraqi dissidents led by Ahmad Chalabi that has been widely blamed for channeling false intelligence about Iraq. Scheunemann also served briefly as an advisor to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld early in the George W. Bush administration as a consultant on Iraq policy.
According to the Lobbying Registration office of the U.S. House of Representatives and the watchdog group OpenSecrets.org, Scheunemann's former lobbying firm, Scheunemann & Associates, represented the National Rifle Association for several years. In 2005, the firm also represented the Caspian Alliance, a consortium of oil- and gas-producing nations from the Caspian region. Scheunemann has also led the lobbying firms Orion Strategies (which he owns) and the Mercury Group. Clients of the Mercury Group have included Swiftships Shipbuilders, Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, BP America, Air Force Memorial Foundation, Lockheed Martin, National Shooting Sports Foundation, and Sporting Arms and Ammunitions Manufacturers.
Much of Scheunemann's work, in both the public and private spheres, has been oriented toward Europe, promoting democratic programs and expanding NATO to former Soviet-bloc countries. A board member (along with McCain) of the International Republican Institute (IRI)—a key institutional vehicle through which the National Endowment for Democracy carries out its work—Scheunemann has worked closely with Bruce Jackson, a fellow former PNAC director, on NATO expansion issues, serving as a board member of Jackson's U.S. Committee on NATO and as a registered lobbyist and/or consultant for Georgia, Latvia, Macedonia, and Romania.
According to the Financial Times, while serving as "an American adviser to the Georgian government" in late 2006, Scheunemann criticize the Bush administration's consultations with Russia in the U.N. Security Council regarding security issues in Georgia. He accused Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of "appeasement" for acquiescing to Russia's demand for a U.N. resolution regarding the Russia-supported republic of Abkhazia, which broke away from Georgia, in exchange for Russia's support of sanctions on North Korea in the wake of that country's nuclear test. Said Scheunemann: "What Rice approved was a weak, ambiguous resolution on North Korea. They sold out the Georgians. That was the trade."

 Guy Dinmore, "Georgia Feels at the Mercy of Big Powers' Maneuvers," Financial Times, October 21, 2006.


November 13, 2007 - Fifty-one percent of Colorado teenagers admitted to sending or receiving text messages while driving and 66 percent admitted to talking on their cell phone while driving, according to a survey conducted by the Colorado State Patrol, the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, the Colorado Department of Transportation and AAA.
The Colorado figures are much higher than those found in a recent AAA national survey, where the rates were 46 percent (texting) and 51 percent (talking).
The web survey was offered to Colorado teenagers between Aug. 20 and Sept. 21. Four hundred and sixty Colorado teens from 84 different cities statewide responded to the survey, which also quizzed teens about their driving habits and knowledge of current state laws regarding cell phone use while driving.
97 percent of Colorado teens believe text messaging while driving is dangerous.
81 percent of teen survey respondents believe there should be some legal limitation on cell phone use (including text messaging) while driving.
74 percent of Colorado teens surveyed admitted not knowing traffic laws for cell phone use in Colorado.
73 percent of teens said strict driving penalties (such as losing their license) would make them less likely to text message while driving.
38 percent of Colorado teens surveyed admitted to taking their eyes off the road when texting while driving.
"Our message to new drivers is very simple," said Colonel Mark Trostel, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol. "Just drive. Driving is a responsibility that requires your full attention. If you need to send a message or make a phone call, pull over and stop in a safe place and then send your message. And, remember to always buckle up yourself and your passengers."
"Hopefully, the results of this survey will raise awareness of the problem of teen cell phone use while driving, and encourage parents to discuss this important issue and set a good example," said Wave Dreher, Traffic Safety Specialist with AAA Colorado.
The goal of the survey was to find out how Colorado teens compared to the national study and learn more about their perspectives and behaviors on cell phones and driving. By doing so, the safety organizations involved hope to create better, more effective educational messages that will have the greatest impact on teen driving behavior.
A complete list of survey questions and results, as well as tips for parents on supervising teen cell phone use, is available on the Internet at www.aaa.com/teens. The website also lists some eye-opening anonymous comments left by teens who took the survey.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA) and AAA Colorado worked together to support the planning and publicity to generate teenage respondents.
"The survey confirms that teens are less likely to text message while driving if they know there are consequences, such as losing their license and insurance," says Carole Walker, executive director of RMIIA. "Teens already pay the highest insurance rates and they need coverage to drive legally, so we are sending a message that one ticket or an accident caused by texting may make driving unaffordable or even off limits."
The Colorado Department of Transportation also has a website devoted to teen driving safety issues and information at www.coteendriver.com. The CDOT website also has a parent-teen driver agreement which according to CDOT, can be beneficial for parents trying to educate their teenage drivers on traffic safety.

Nation, Country, and State
Culture/Politics
Here at Men of the West, we like to be precise in our language. Communicating clearly is a foundation of not only our society, but comes from God Himself. Jesus Christ is referred to as the Λόγος (Logos), or Word. It's the same word that gives us "logic" and the "-logy" suffix that means "the study of." We use words to communicate precisely, instead of means that make it easier to misunderstand each other.
Let's lay down some definitions so that we can comprehend what we're discussing.
Most people use the words "Nation," "Country," and "State" interchangeably. You can spin a globe and point at France, you can say "France is a nation," "France is a country," and "France is a state," and you would be truthful with all three. There are some differences among those terms.
The Nation is the People
In Revelation 7:9-10, John wrote:
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,
"Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
The division of all men into nations as the largest segments of humanity was first referenced in Genesis. Nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues are what separate us from each other. Many utopians want to eliminate this division, but for now, we are separated.
It comes from the Latin word natio, or birth.
The Country is the Land
Many people want to move "to the country." They mean where the land is open and they have room to spread out. It arose from the Latin word contra, where the literal meaning of "opposite" was used in the sense of "over there, away from here."
The State is the Government
The state is the entity with a monopoly on violence. It is the thing that makes rules and laws, and carries out their enforcement. This word has its origins in the Latin word stare, or stand. It's what rises above and, in many cases, rules over the people.
In Harmony
When every nation lives within its own country and under its own state, there is the best chance for peace. The land of France is occupied by the French, and governed by the French state. Likewise for the English, Italians, and so on.
And in Discord
Africa is, unfortunately, an area where these three concepts do not always overlap. In the Scramble for Africa, the European powers often designated rivers, basins, or mountains as borders, regardless of how the people had arranged themselves. The Rwandan Genocide showed us what can happen when multiple nations (the Hutu and Tutsi) were mapped into the same country and state as each other.
Let us speak clearly, well, and freely, so that we can understand each other and come to the best conclusions.
Communion: Reunited
Communion: Share the Good News
Communion: Itching Ears
Communion: The Jailer, Jailed
HoosierHillbilly says:
"European powers often designated rivers, basins, or mountains as borders, regardless of how the people had arranged themselves"
Using their experience and history in Europe as a model. Nations to define their own nationhood in today's era, no problem.
But to a European who is both trying to gain an economic foothold, as well as have some semblance of peace in which to do business? Well, Europe had a bunch of tribes that wandered at fought all over the damned continent. Pretty much settled down as divided by rivers, mountains, gulfs, and such. Why not speed the process along and carve things up, rather than have a couple centuries of Goths wanting to move over here, the Vandals want to be over here, and the Hungarians thinking "oh, this is a nice place to be"? It makes sense with that backdrop, if you are trying to keep thing peaceable.
Right or wrong? More than I can say.

La Martina moves into the world of tailoring
Accessories, News
1305 seen
One of the world's leading polo kit and clothing brands, La Martina, which opened its flagship London Store in Jermyn Street last year, has now moved into the world of tailoring. Working alongside London-based tailor Timothy Everest MBE, it has launched the St James's Collection, drawing inspiration from images of Sir Winston Churchill as a young man. This collection is stripped back to feature unstructured and half-lined jackets in soft linens and cottons and Everest has hand selected the lightweight fabrics, which are traditional, but with a little twist, in an array of lovely, summery colours in a variety of supple cloths, such as linen and cotton jackets.
Like the previous autumn/winter collaboration, there are three key looks in the spring/summer collection, each inspired by a different area of Churchill's life. "The Imperial" look is styled around the "Imperial Mac", a staple piece in the collection inspired by Churchill's time in the Imperial Yeomanry. This classic Mac stands alongside tailoring pieces including the "Oldham Jacket", offering a nod to Churchill's early political life as MP for Oldham in 1900. "The Marlborough" look has been built around young Churchill's family's ties to one of England's most important families – The Dukes of Marlborough. This look epitomises the style of his early years, with a modern twist on a Safari Jacket to bring the aesthetic up-to-date for 2016. "The Woodstock" looks back to the sartorial elegance and sophistication of traditional sportsmen of the 1890s. The look, named after Churchill's birthplace in Oxfordshire and the village closest to the Marlborough family's stately home, Blenheim Palace, is focused on one of Churchill's favourite pastimes – polo, appropriate for an already well established brand in the sport. The Woodstock Double Breasted Jacket in soft linen references the traditional polo attire that Churchill would have worn, but created for the modern man thanks to some subtle tailoring nuances.

Judges should not be hypersensitive, says Justice Madan B. Lokur
01/07/2021 India Comments Off on Judges should not be hypersensitive, says Justice Madan B. Lokur
"It is high time judges sat down for an introspection," the former Supreme Court judge said.
Judges should not be "hypersensitive" about criticism, former Supreme Court judge, Justice Madan B. Lokur, has said.
He said it was high time judges sat down for an introspection on what had gone wrong and what was to be done.
Veteran journalist N. Ram said there should be a "robust, strong, uninhibited and informed criticism of the functioning of the judiciary".
They were speaking at a webinar on 'Keys to Governance: Independence of Judiciary' organised by the India International Centre and the D.S. Borker Memorial Foundation on Thursday. Other speakers were senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy and Professor Tarunabh Khaitan. The discussion was moderated by Suhas Borker.
The Supreme Court has been at the centre of a furious public debate on various aspects, including a Chief Justice of India becoming a Rajya Sabha MP after retirement and the trial and punishment of civil rights lawyer, Prashant Bhushan, for scandalising the Supreme Court. The year had also seen a spate of petitions accusing actors, stand-up comedians and artists of contempt of the Supreme Court.
Mr. Ram pointed out that the provision of "scandalising the court" in the contempt law should be struck down by the court itself. Parliament would not do it. The provision was vague, arbitrary and had a chilling effect on free speech. He said the case against Mr. Bhushan was "shocking" and one must push the line with well-informed criticism of the judiciary.
"It is important for people to have the opportunity and entitlement to criticise the judiciary, to call it out when judiciary is corrupt or arbitrary or allows itself to be submissive to external influences. Was the January 12 press conference of the judges a contempt? A lot of people applauded [the four judges, including Justice Lokur, who held the press conference]," Mr. Ram said.
Ms. Guruswamy emphatically said the contempt of court law should be scrapped.
Justice Lokur, however, said it was for each individual judge to decide whether or not to accept post-retirement assignments. As long as the judge had integrity, his ideology or bent of mind did not matter.
He said the appointments process to higher courts should be transparent. The Collegium system of appointments was far from perfect, but it could not be dropped until there was a better alternative. Justice Lokur said it was high-time the Supreme Court live-streamed the hearings of certain important cases.
