Judy Blume's Advice for Aspiring Writers
The Queen of Kid Lit Turns 80 Today
Judy Blume needs no introduction. The author of your all-time favorite childhood novels (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Deenie, etc.) turns 80 today. It's almost hard to believe, but this woman has been improving kids' lives for over fifty years, folks. So in honor of her long, prolific, and undeniably influential career, I've collected some of her best writing advice—equally applicable to those who want to write books for young people or adults—below. Happiest of birthdays, Judy Blume—and thanks.
"Read your work aloud! This is the best advice I can give. When you read aloud you find out how much can be cut, how much is unnecessary. You hear how the story flows. And nothing teaches you as much about writing dialogue as listening to it."
–from Judy's website
"I don't believe in writer's block. For me there's no such thing as writer's block—don't even say writer's block."
–from a BuzzFeed reader Q&A
"Observe. Make notes. Listen carefully. Listen to how people talk to one another. A good writer is always a people watcher."
–from an interview with Scholastic
"When you're writing, you've got to knock the critic off this shoulder, knock the censor off this shoulder, and all those voices in your head—telling you that you suck, and nobody's going to read what you're writing, nobody's going to buy it or publish it—you have to leave them outside the workspace, and get rid of them."
"I once met a woman who wanted to write. She told me she'd read 72 books about writing but she still couldn't do it. I suggested that instead of reading books about writing, she read the best books she could find, the books that would inspire her to write as well as she could."
"Start on the day something different happens."
–from a Reddit AMA
"There are no hard and fast rules for writing, and no secret tricks, because what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Everybody is different. That's the key to the whole business of writing—your individuality."
[On how to stay positive:] "Well it's best not to think about anything else; that's the only thing I can say. Just don't think about anything else. When you're in there [working], when you're at the computer, when you've got the pencil in your hand—and, by the way, I get my best ideas from a pencil. I'm a good rewriter; I like to revise much more than I like getting down that first draft—you just have to keep those bad, hopeless thoughts away."
"The best books come from someplace deep inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to. Become emotionally involved. If you don't care about your characters, your readers won't either.
Those of us who write do it because there are stories inside us burning to get out. Writing is essential to our well-being. If you're that kind of writer, never give up! If you start a story and it isn't going well, put it aside. (We're not talking about school assignments here.) You can start as many as you like because you're writing for yourself. With each story you'll learn more. One day it will all come together for you."
"It's best not to dwell on what you've written, wishing it could be different. We all write what we can. We do the very best we can. You might think, oh, I wish I could write like so-and-so, but you have to write like yourself."
"Yes, rejection and criticism hurt. Get used to it. Even when you're published you'll have to contend with less than glowing reviews. There is no writer who hasn't suffered."
"Everybody who writes fiction draws from their own life, but if it ended there, it would be very boring."
–from an interview with The Guardian
"I've no idea how writing works. My son says I'm the least analytical person he's ever met. I think I'm just an instinctual writer. It comes and I go with it. It's from some other part of the brain. I'm just glad it's still coming . . ."
"There is no right way or wrong way. There are a hundred different ways to tell the same story. Whatever works for you is okay."
"Keep writing! Don't let anyone ever discourage you. Just keep on going, because you can't help yourself. You have to write! No one chooses to become a writer. You write because you can't not write."

The Surprising, Unorthodox Media Criticism of High Maintenance
Lit Hub Daily: February 12, 2018
High Maintenance is not supposed to be a depressing show. The series, which follows The Guy (played by co-creator Ben Sinclair)...


Business is an organization legally recognized to provide the needs of consumers. The person who owns a business is called as business man. All the people who start a business does not shine as a successful business man. It is not that they are not capable of doing a business. The planets positions in the horoscope make a person as a successful business man. The 2nd, 10th and the 11th house, the owner of those houses and the planets occupying those houses decide the factor of a business man.
Atharva Veda describes a lot about the business. The planetary positions cannot be changed. It is called as Destiny or Karma. None can change it. But by proper Athrva Vedic yaksha Devathas rituals one can change this Karma in a smooth way. The evilness of the planets can be removed and the same evil planets will be made as the best by the Atharva Veda yaksha/ yakshini Deva thas. The worship of Atharva Veda yaksha/ yakshini devathas is called as ritual. There is a great difference between the regular prayer and rituals.
Generally one may show many reasons for the loss in the business or change of a business But the fundamental base is only one and that is astrology. If the planets and their positions are good, everything will go smooth but if the planets and their positions are not well the entire things will be spoiled. There are many best business man who have become the worst business man and lost everything they earned. All are not planned but when the planet's positions change eery thing gets changed Atharva Veda is the remedy and solution for this.
Atharva Veda has powerful mantras and rituals to bring up the down fall business and it can make the worst business man as a successful business man. The rituals for the yaksha Devadhas are to be performed by learned scholars only in a divine place. The rituals are to be done as per the directions of Atharva Veda. By doing this one can become a successful business man.
The Atharva Veda yakshini Devadhas are to be worshipped with dedication and devotion. The first yakshini Devadha is shodashi Devi. She is called shodashi because she possesses all the sixteen supernatural powers. Shodashi who has the mantra consisting of sixteen letters, has organs glowing like a rising sun. She has four hands and three eyes. She is seated on the lotus which is placed on the body of Shiva who is lying in a peaceful posture.
She has a nose, a hook, a bow and an arrow in each of her hands. Her appearance is completely cheerful and gentle to shower blessings on her devotees. Her heart is full of compassion. A devotes who gets her refuge achieves great divinity like the deities. In fact her splenders are indescribable. Even the Vedas are incapable of describing her greatness.
The Next Atharva Veda yaksha Devadha is siddhidatri. She is capable of giving all sorts of occult powers. According to Atharva Veda there are eight types of these powers.Anima, Mahima, GariMa, Laghima, Prapti,Prakamya, Isitwa and Vasitwa. The number eight is given special consideration in Atharva Veda. The mother sidddhidatri is competent enough to give all siddhis to the striversand her devotees. According to Devi Purana the Lord Shiva Acquired these powers only by the grace of this goddess alone. The Lord Shiva became Ardhanariswara due to her grace. The mother siddhiri is seated on a lotus flower and her Vehicle is lion. She is four armed. She holds a chakra in her right lower hand and a mace in the upper. In the left lower hand there is a conch and in her upper left hand a lotus flower. One who performs the rituals in a manner with full faith the sadhaka acquires all siddhis. There remains nothing unattainable in the universe. By her grace only a devotee crosses the miseries and enjoying all worldly pleasures. By adopting the rituals prescribed by swamiji sri selvam siddhar through the learned pamdits in a holy place the dull business men can also become the best business men.


May sound like a silly question but where are private keys stored as part of Asymmetric Encryption?
For example say I have a Web Server and I install a 3rd Party SSL certificate from a third party. When installed the certificate is presented to end users to verify the identity of the Web Server and the public key within the certificate is used to encrypt data as part of SSL. Where does the Web Server normally keep the corresponding Private Key to decrypt the data and how is this kept safe? Would they be in "key stores"?
In addition to the other answers, which cover storing the private key within the server; you should also be aware that private keys can be stored outside of your server in a specialist appliance called a Hardware Security Module (HSM). This is often the case in high security environments where the cost of a breach far outweighs the relatively high cost of the HSM.
The private key is stored in the HSM and never leaves the appliance un-encrypted. Any cryptographic activity that involves the private key is carried out internally within the device. HSMs communicate with the servers using either standards compliant protocols or, with drivers installed on the servers, using vendor specific protocols.
In order to maximize the ROI, many HSMs can be purchased as network enabled appliances; which can be shared between many servers and therefore distribute the cost.
If not network enabled, most connect to a single server via USB; or internally as a PCI card.
The Apache web server on Linux would store these in flat files in a dedicated directory, which is distribution-dependent, e.g. /etc/apache2/ssl. You can choose a custom path in your virtual host definition, so the path/location is more of a convention rather than a standard or a requirement.
Apache Tomcat, for example, uses a key store, which is encrypted using a symmetric key, and typically the specific SSL/TLS configuration file will contain the key store password.
IIS on Windows may use a variety of certificate stores, most of which are physically located in the Windows registry.
As you can tell, the implementation varies from one platform to another - from flat files, through an encrypted database-like file, down to an OS-provided/managed specialized certificate store.
As @Crypt32 mentioned, your question is overly broad as it doesn't specify an application or system.
In general, private keys are highly sensitive and need to be stored securely. Anyone with a copy of your private key could impersonate you successfully. That means you need to carefully lock down all access to the file. The private key file itself should be encrypted, with the decryption key separate from the encrypted file, and the storage of the decryption key should also be secured.
If you're dealing with Apache, Tomcat, or other java app, it's fairly common to store the private key in an encrypted Java Key Store. Other alternatives include a PKCS#12 file, which is a more standardized (less language-specific) container format than JKS. Other servers and systems will have different needs. For example, on Windows, the private keys may be stored in the Certificate Store.
Why do embedded systems store server's public certificate in ROM?
Is the certificate I receive back from the CA supposed to be private?


A couple of months ago, I weaned myself off of my daily three-cups-of-coffee-with-a-little-too-much-creamer, along with really conscientiously increasing my water intake (I unofficially dub myself a cactus because I'm terrible at taking care of myself – internally). Now that my life is starting to be in a bit more of a stable position, I wanted to make a few more *internal beauty* changes. Improving the way I take care of myself on the inside is just as important (if not more) than how I take care of myself on the outside, so let's get to these five new beauty habits for 2018 I plan on incorporating immediately.
2011-2014: lived in North Carolina because my (fiancé then) was in the US Navy, stationed there. I also was completing my MBA and planning my wedding while working full-time.
2014-2017: moved to Texas, found a job working at a Fortune 100 company (that I despised), found another job in PR (that was fun but a little too crazy for me), started Brighter, Darling; realized we didn't love living in TX and started planning another cross-country move.
2017: moved to New Jersey (where I'm from originally), found new jobs, found a new place to live, looked for a dental practice to buy, bought dental practice, started looking for a house to buy.
2018: Happy to report we JUST closed on our house the first week of February!
I'm sure life is going to continue to be a bit wacky, but this is honestly the first time I don't feel like my life is in a state of transition.
I feel like I can take a little bit of a breath and know that most BIG changes are out-of-the-way for a while.
Like I mentioned earlier, I notice when my body is in a state of stress and I'm running around crazily, I drink a bit too much coffee. Anyone else?
For me, when I do this I end up getting terrible stomach aches. Too much caffeine isn't good for the body – and leads to dehydration which is terrible for the skin.
I made the switch to drinking one cup a day of black or green tea only. I've always been a lover of tea, but within a month and not changing anything else about my diet, I lost 3-5 lbs (depending on the day haha) just by cutting out the coffee/creamer combo.
In addition to the coffee, I'm terrible at drinking enough water. I've tried it all – apps, reminders, cute water bottles, etc.
What seems to be working for me is every morning, while I'm making my breakfast, I take six bottles of water out and leave them on my work desk.
This is an easy way to see how much water I have left to drink in the day and really keeps me on track to drink enough. I may even add a 7th bottle soon!
The last internal change I want to make is to incorporate a more gentle workout regimen. I've always been someone who loves to workout hard – spinning, Pure Barre, kickboxing, intense cardio sessions… you name it… if it wasn't at least an hour, what was the point?
I'm going to take a different approach in 2018. I want to take long (at least 30 minutes… one hour preferably) walks daily and do yoga three days a week. Not power yoga either… definitely something a bit more zen.
I'm not going to freak out about what the scale says. I want to focus on how I feel mentally and holistically.
Who else is just so over disliking their body because it's never going to look like a Victoria's Secret model? Definitely me. So I'm going to start accepting myself for who I am without breaking my back at the gym.
Along with these internal changes, we know I always am raving about skin care. But what about body care?
Olay released a new line of body washes in their Olay Cleansing Infusions line – Olay's first complete face and body collection.
I've been using the Olay Micropolishing Cleansing Infusion Hydrating Glow Facial Cleanser with Crushed Ginger & Citrus Extract at night after removing my makeup and it provides the perfect level of scrub to wash the day off and prep my skin to take in my nightly serums.
In the mornings, I now use the Olay Cleansing Infusion Hydrating Glow Facial Cleanser with Deep Sea Kelp & Aloe Extract because it gently cleanses my skin of whatever treatments I used the night before without overdrying.
The new Olay body washes are equally amazing at not drying out my skin but leaving me feeling clean and my skin looking soft.
The Olay Microscrubbing Cleansing Infusion Hydrating Glow Body Wash with Crushed Ginger is great for days I take morning showers to really help me feel awake and re-energized since it has a micro polishing, exfoliating effect.
If I'm doing a night-time shower, I like using Olay Cleansing Infusion Hydrating Glow Body Wash with Deep Sea Kelp because it's soothing and the lather is so creamy.
Both of these body washes have been clinically proven to increase radiance in the skin after just one use.
Now, I feel like I'm really taking care of myself from the inside out and bonus for not spending a fortune on ANY of these changes!
You all know I've talked about loving drugstore face washes and Olay products, in particular, before. So this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Why spend more on products when we don't have to?
Want to get your glow on? You've got to try Olay's Cleansing Infusions collection at your local CVS by clicking here.
I definitely recommend starting with the micropolishing face cleanser and microscrubbing body wash first – they're absolutely my new favorites.
Will be keeping you all posted on my new beauty habits for 2018 in a month or so via social media. Make sure you're following me on Instagram for the latest updates.

Junior High School is a 1978 musical featurette starring P. David Ebersole as Jerry Sanders. The film chronicles the first day of term at a dramatized school of seventh and eighth graders, and consists of seven songs along with several dance numbers. The only member of the cast to become well known later is Paula Abdul, though she played a relatively minor role in the film.

Plot
The story begins with Sherry (Paula Abdul) declaring plans to hold a party that night. Upon hearing about this party, Jerry's friend, Paul (Kirk Burnett) encourages him to ask his crush, Lori Scott (Karen Capelle) to accompany him to the event. On his way to doing this, Jerry encounters several obstacles, including repeated run-ins with Keith (Mikal Robert Taylor), a school bully, and Vicki (Toni Mazarin), an ill-intentioned girl who hopes Jerry will ask her to the party so she can spite a previous boyfriend.

Israelis willingly endangered themselves in order to return captured soldier Gilad Shalit to his parents. While between 75-80% of Israelis expressed their support for the exchange, over 60% thought that the exchange would increase the incentives for future terror attacks.
They are surely right about the latter. Sixty per cent of released terrorists, according to one study, resume terrorist attacks. Since 2002, 182 Israelis have been killed in terror attacks carried out or planned by previously released terrorists. The terrorists exchanged for Gilad Schalit include the authors of some the grisliest terror attacks in memory – the suicide bombing on Seder Night in Netanya and that at the Sbarro Pizza Parlor -- and their skills and knowledge have only been honed during imprisonment.
By supporting the prisoner exchange for Gilad Shalit, despite the obvious dangers it poses, Israelis were acting in accord with familiar patterns. Psychological research shows that most human beings are willing to incur far greater costs to save one "identifiable" human being from immediate peril than they would be to secure the safety of what psychologists term "statistical lives." For over five years, the Israeli media made sure that Gilad and his parents would be "identifiable" human beings, with saturation coverage of his plight and his parents' campaign for his release. (In the process, the images of other "identifiable" human beings – victims of terrorist attacks and their families – were largely suppressed.) The faceless and as yet unknown Jews who might be killed in future terror attacks are just "statistical lives."
Israelis opted to rejoice in Gilad Shalit's return and to worry about the consequences later. Now that the exchange has been made, there is no other choice. But it behooves us to take immediate measures to minimize those future consequences. The first step would be a Knesset law mandating the death penalty for those participating in terror attacks resulting in death. No future terrorist should brazenly boast that he or she will soon be released and live to engage in terror again, as did Ahlam Tamimi, who disguised herself a Jewish student while accompanying the Sbarro suicide bomber. At the very least, imposition of the death penalty would dramatically release the number of terrorists available for future exchanges.
Second, Israel must stop negotiating from the position of supplicant. On June 21 1972, an Israeli special unit, commanded by the current defense minister, Ehud Barak, and including prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, entered Syria and captured five Syrian intelligence officers, who were subsequently exchanged for three Israeli airmen. During Operation Cast Lead, Israel could have captured top Hamas officials in the same way, but never considered doing so. In the same vein, Israel should employ reciprocity in treatment of terrorist prisoners. As long as Gilad was being held incommunicado and denied any visits by the Red Cross. Israel should have held Palestinians in the same conditions and cut off all family visits. Toughening of the prison conditions of Palestinian prisoners was one of the factors that lead Hamas to soften some of its earlier demands.
No one begrudges the Shalit family their campaign to pressure to the Israeli government to pay any price for Gilad's release, but one wishes that more of that pressure had been directed at those foreign governments who provide massive aid to Hamas, even as Hamas blatantly disregarded international law for the treatment of captured soldiers. The Israeli government should have been much more aggressive in that respect as well.
One final point about the huge costs and future dangers Israelis were willing to incur to return Gilad Shalit to his parents. Rabbi Noah Weinberg, the founder of Aish HaTorah, requested in his final will and testament that his students each spend ten minutes a night contemplating the pain to our Father in Heaven from the fact that the majority of the Jewish people – His children – deny the validity of Torah and are estranged from Him. Hashem is not an "identifiable person" on the TV screen, like Noam Shalit. That is why we have to set aside time to concentrate on His pain. But when we feel His pain, should we not be willing to incur costs and expend effort to bring His children home to Him – especially when we know, as the Chovos Halevavos writes, there can be no greater reward than for doing so.
The most shocking thing about The Israel Lobby (2007), by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard, was how lacking it was in any basic scholarly apparatus. A book that purported to be about American foreign policy was virtually devoid of citations to American government documents or interviews with policymakers. Even reading through the vast secondary literature on American Middle East policymaking proved too much for the distinguished professors.
Their argument was on its face incoherent. They uncovered the pernicious influence of the Israel Lobby like astronomers once discovered Pluto – via perturbations. In their telling, the Iraq War was so fiendishly irrational that no goy – not even Vice-President Cheney -- could have conceived it, but for the diabolical influence of Jewish neo-conservatives acting in the interests of Israel's Likud Party. Only one little problem with that theory: Israel itself was opposed to an American attack on Iraq and viewed Iran as far the greater threat, as no less an authority than John Mearsheimer told NRP's Tom Ashbrook in 2002.
Critics of the book wisely stopped short of calling the authors anti-Semites. But Tim Rutten in the Los Angeles Times did note an unpleasant odor wafting from its pages: "[R]eaders are treated to an explication of the religious affiliations of various Bush administration officials that reads like it was inspired by the Nuremburg Laws." Walter Russell Mead of the Council of Foreign Relations described The Israel Lobby as a book "anti-Semites will love" -- a judgment immediately confirmed by the praise of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke for the authors.
With respect to Mearsheimer, the charge of anti-Semitism is becoming ever more plausible. In Mearsheimer's mind the Jewish state is diabolical in its cunning: He accuses Israel of having withdrawn from Gaza to bring Hamas to power in order to destroy the peace process. In a 2010 speech, he divided Jews between the "righteous" ones and the "new Afrikaaners." In the former category, he listed Noam Chomsky, Richard Falk, Norman Finkelstein, and Tony Judt, each of whom has called for the end to the Jewish state, ceaselessly accused Israel of war crimes, cheered on Hamas and Hizbullah, and decried the cynical manipulation of the Holocaust to advance Jewish interests. All other American Jews are either "new Afrikaaners" or ignorant of "how far down the apartheid road Israel has travelled."
Most recently Mearsheimer wrote an effusive blurb for The Wondering Who? by Gilad Atzmon, a self-described "self-hater," for exposing how "panicked Jewish leaders . . . have turned to Zionism (blind loyalty to Israel) and scaremongering (the threat of another Holocaust) to keep the tribe united and distinct from the surrounding goyim."
One his blog, Atzmon calls, sixty-five years after Auschwitz, "for some conclusive historical evidence" and asks "Why were the Jews hated. Why did European people stand up against their next door neighbors?" He accuses the Holocaust "religion" of being used "to kill, flatten, to loot and ethnically clean."
As Mead puts it, "not normally the intellectual company a Distinguished Professor at the University of Chicago is expected to keep."
Half of this year's Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, Economics, and Medicine were Jewish – a rather outsized number considering that Jews constitute only .2% of the world's population. That wildly disproportionate figure in part reflects the reverence for learning in traditional Jewish society, and the fact that the intellectual acuity that suits one to Talmudic study has always been so prized by fathers of Jewish daughters. But before we pat ourselves too hard on the back, we must acknowledge that none of the current crop of Jewish Nobel winners, as far as I know, honed their minds on Gemara.
Yet reading of the research of Technion Professor Daniel Schechtman, the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, I did find a Jewish angle. Schectman won the award for his discovery of quasi-crystals, crystals based on assymetric, non-repeating patterns. He was subjected to almost universal ridicule at the time of his discovery almost thirty years ago. Two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling joked that there were no quasi-crystals, only quasi-scientists. And the head of the Johns Hopkins University team on which Schectman was then working, dismissed him for bringing disgrace to the team. Nonetheless, Schectman persevered and ultimately prevailed. His research revised the traditional understanding of matter and opened up important practical applications.
Azus, the ability to ignore the ridicule of others, says the Midrash, is one of the quality that suited Jews to receive the Torah. Throughout our history, Jews have always stood against the current. In Europe, we denied the central value of the larger society – the belief that a man could be divine – for which denial, we were subjected not just to ridicule, but the most violent persecution. Yet the vast majority of Jews remained steadfast. Those ancestors were models for Jewish scientists like Schectman and Albert Einstein, whose theories upended the entire structure of Newtonian physics and were initially even more ridiculed than Schectman's, of the ability to hold fast to one's beliefs no matter how much abuse it entails.


The data center as we know it is gradually being replaced by software. The evolution toward the software-defined data center, also called "infrastructure-as-code," brings significant benefits as well as some challenges, according to David Hines, vice president of architecture and engineering at TierPoint.
Hines recently gave a webcast on The Software-Defined Data Center: A Foundation for Digital Transformation in which he discussed the benefits of the SDDC concept and what IT departments should do to prepare for this transition.
Agility. Hardware can't easily be changed. Infrastructure services such as virtual machines and storage can be created or deleted on demand, giving the organization the agility to react quickly to changing business needs. Code reuse will further increase this agility.
Speed. The speed with which code-based infrastructure can be created and deployed makes it highly efficient. IT engineers waste less time purchasing and installing hardware, and business employees who need extra capacity for their jobs can be more productive sooner.
Security. Software-based infrastructure offers greater control over security systems as well as the ability to adjust systems on the fly. However, to achieve those benefits, developers must do rigorous testing of code. Small errors that work their way into infrastructure can create widespread problems.
But to reap the benefits of infrastructure services, IT departments have to follow a few guidelines, said Hines.
Be willing to change processes.
Software development is very different from hardware purchasing, installation and maintenance. As more aspects of the data center becomes software-based, IT managers will need to rethink their teams' work processes. For example, Hines described how one IT department that migrated to a software-based infrastructure had to change how it processed change requests. Initially, requests for additional capacity were casually communicated, through email, text, ticket requests and personal conversations. However, as infrastructure became code-based, and thus easier to accomplish, end user requests multiplied. Eventually, the department had to change its workflow to follow software development practices, which meant funneling user requests through a merit-based, priority ranking system.
Communication, with line-of-business managers and end users will be critical to managing their expectations. "Make sure you're communicating how this change will occur, that it will take time and that, while it will produce greater agility in the long term, individual requests may not be fixed today.
Find a good services partner.
The cloud services partner that supports a company's transformation to a software defined data center should be focused on helping your department to be successful. That includes being willing to engage in ongoing dialogue on digital transformation, show a willingness to say "no" when necessary and provide alternative solutions, and have connections to other good partners.
Think strategically, not just tactically.
Remember that this is a long-term business transformation, not a time-limited project for one department. "We need to move beyond digital transformation as a thing and start talking about the business outcomes that digital transformation brings, and the opportunity it unlocks," said Hines.

2017: A Year of Anniversaries – and New Hope? SJN January 2017
1, January 2017 – 3 Tevet 5777
2017: A Year of Anniversaries – and New Hope? Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah – SJN January 2017
2016 was a very significant year for the Jews of Sussex, as we celebrated the 250th anniversary of Brighton Jewry – and 2017 is set to be even more significant for Jews throughout the world, as we mark the 100th Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration (https://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/The_Balfour_Declaration). On 2 November 2017, Lord Balfour wrote a letter to Lord Rothschild that has since become famous:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
So, twenty years after the First Zionist Congress gathered in Basle in Switzerland, the possibility of realising the Zionist dream – made all the more real by subsequent events: the end of the First World War a year later, swiftly followed by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the division of the region formerly ruled by the Turks between France and Britain and, in particular, the formation of the British Mandate in Palestine, which came into operation on 29 September 1923.
The British Mandate in Palestine was due to last 25 years. During that time, the rise of Nazism, and with the triumph of Hitler in the German elections of 1933, the enactment of his plan to isolate and demonise the Jewish people as a precursor to the murder of six million Jews and the destruction of tens of thousands of Jewish communities across Europe. It was in the aftermath of the Sho'ah that the United Nations voted on 29 November 1947 to partition the land on the eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean into two states: a Jewish state and an Arab state (See: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/partition_plan.html).
There is no need to rehearse everything that has transpired during the past 70 years. We know, 100 years on, that the work of realising the Balfour Declaration in full has yet to be completed. Another less well-known letter, written by Martin Buber to Mahatma Gandhi on 24 February 1939, says it all. Writing in response to Gandhi's position that 'Palestine belongs to the Arabs,' Buber declared:
"…. two vital claims are opposed to each other, two claims of a different nature and a different origin which cannot objectively be pitted against one another and between which no objective decision can be made as to which is just, which unjust… We considered and still consider it our duty to understand and to honor the claim which is opposed to ours and to endeavor to reconcile both claims" (See Arthur Hertzberg, Ed., The Zionist Idea, Jewish Publication Society, 1997, pp. 463-464, for the full text of the letter).
The work remains of reconciling the 'two vital claims' to the land, loved equally by both Israelis and Palestinians. Let us hope and pray that during 2017 progress will be made towards an equitable solution to the conflict that ensures sovereignty and security, justice and peace for both peoples.

Click Forensics announced that today that it has closed a "$6 million Series C funding round led by Austin Ventures with participation from Sierra Ventures and Shasta Ventures." Read the release.
Click Forensics CEO Paul Pellman discussed the company's strategy going forward.
AdExchanger.com: With the $6 million, what can you share about what you'll do with the funds beyond expanding "development and marketing of new offerings"?
PP: We raised this round of financing to speed our build out of audience verification offerings for display advertisers. We plan to bring transparency and accountability to the display advertising space, just like we've done in the CPC space for the past four years. With the advent of ad exchanges, DSPs, and yield management platforms, display advertising is quickly evolving – promising tremendous reach and ease-of-use. However, wider syndication and automation also means increasing threats to audience quality and less transparency. This requires that media buyers ensure their ads are seen by the right audiences. Our new display solutions will do just that.
What was your sense of the funding environment today? Any pushback for ad tech?
Quite the contrary, we've been approached by several potential investors this year seeking opportunities to invest in ad tech. In the end, based on the size of the investment we needed, it made sense for us to simply accept an additional round of funding from our existing investors.
What's the difference between looking at audience for display and looking at who is creating click fraud in CPC campaigns?
In the search world, the quality of an audience is largely determined by measuring a click's propensity to convert. In the display world advertisers need to know a whole lot more, such as: How many times was my ad really served? How many actual people saw my ad?; How many times were they in the target demographic or geography?; and Were competitors displayed more prominently? These needs require a different set of offerings, but much of the core technology we've developed for the CPC space can be leveraged to deliver this functionality for display advertisers quickly.
How does current traction for your audience verification product for display compare to your CPC product today? Where do you anticipate this to be a year from now in terms of revenue? 50/50?
We are currently in the beta testing phase for our audience verification product for display. Our offerings for search advertisers make up the majority of our revenue. We believe that over the next year display will become a much bigger part of our business.
Any plans on getting into ad verification (DoubleVerify, AdSafe, Mpire, Adometry, etc.)? It would seem to be a logical extension of your product line.
We believe the brand safety and ad verification providers are doing a good job. But we've always said that brand safety is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ensuring that display advertisers get what they pay for from their online media buys. Knowing if an impression is real, if you reached the desired demographic, and where your leads came from are extremely important to the display advertiser. With that data it's only a short leap to advanced segmentation, attribution, and bid optimization in an RTB setting. Our years of experience in the search space have given us the foundation we need to deliver the unique capabilities demanded by display advertisers for audience verification.

This is the lovely Evie who came to see us this week. Evie's owner had noticed a mass on her flank. After examination our Vet Melanie thought the mass was most likely to be either an abscess, or a granuloma from a foreign body. She decided the best course of action was to remove it, so admitted Evie to hospital.
After excising the mass Melanie discovered the cause was indeed a grass seed.
Be sure to check your dogs carefully for grass seeds after walks in the grass. Grass seeds can migrate quickly and quite far once they've entered the body.

Q: How to prevent using "LocalSystem" application pool identity when connecting through certificate The site I need to configure on our IIS server (on Win 2019) uses a certificate to communicate with an external service.
The certificate is present in the certificates plugin in category personal and trusted.
It also uses a intermediate certificate.
The correct application pool has full permission on the certificate in /personal. Also the "network service" user.
The private certificate isn't exportable.
The SSL connection works when the application pool is configured with identity "LocalSystem" but it doesn't work with "ApplicationPoolIdentity".
Changing the "Load user profile" of the application pool from false to true doesn't change anything.
The site uses libraries written for it and is only used within the company.
Is using "LocalSystem" the only solution when using libraries?

A: You can try different user account in Application pool identity.
Built-in user account
Select this option to use one of the predefined security accounts. Then select one of the following accounts:

*

*LocalSystem - The Local System account has all user rights, and it is
part of the Administrators group on the Web server. Whenever
possible, avoid using the Local System account because it presents a
serious security risk for your Web server.

*LocalService - The Local Service account is a member of the Users
group and has the same user rights as the Network Service account,
but limited to the local computer. Use this account when the worker
process in your application pool does not require access outside the
Web server on which it runs.

*NetworkService - By default, the Network Service account is selected.
It is a member of the Users group and has user rights that are
required to run applications. It can interact throughout an Active
Directory-based network by using the computer account's credentials.
This account provides the most security against an attack that might
try to take over the Web server.

*ApplicationPoolIdentity - Starting with IIS 7, application pools can
be ran as the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" account instead of the
"NetworkService" account. This is a dedicated pseudo user account for
the working process of an application pool and is the recommended
pool identity.
Custom user account
Select this option to configure a custom user account for the application pool identity.

Custom user account
Select this option to configure a custom user account for the application pool identity.
Installed user account
You can configure an installed User Account under which you want the worker process to run.
Property-based user
You can dynamically choose a username and a password under which you want the worker process to run, by using references to Windows Installer properties. By using this option you can choose the way the password is selected:
Password property
The password is stored inside a property.
Predefined password
By selecting this option you can define you own password.
Note: If you use a custom identity, make sure that the user account you specify is a member of the IIS_IUSRS group on the Web server so that the account has proper access to resources. Additionally, when you use Windows and Kerberos authentication in your environment, you might need to register a Service Principle Name (SPN) with the domain controller (DC).

I understand why grappling rules are complicated. A successful grapple can take someone out of the game much too easily.
But honestly, I'm looking at the LotFP grappling rules and they suck. There's too much of them for a game that abstracts so much else (including yearly finance for crying out loud!).
I think I've come up with something better. But I don't think I'm going to run any games before this all goes to press. So take a look at this, tell me if it sucks worse than what's there, and then use it if you can and report back.
A character may attempt to wrestle another to either immobilize or take something out of the opponent's hands.
The attacker must have both hands free. The defender, if he is armed and has not yet acted during the round, may immediately make an attack against the aggressor before the wrestling is resolved.
Wrestling is resolved with a contested roll. Both parties roll d20 and apply both their melee Attack Bonus and Strength modifier. Ties are decided by Dexterity modifier, or a die roll if both are still tied. The winner decides whether the loser is immobilized, if he will attempt to disarm the loser of the contest, or if he releases the loser.
An immobilized opponent may take no action other than attempting to escape on his next action. Resolve this with another wrestling roll. Any character immobilized in three successive wrestling contests is considered pinned and helpless - no further attempts to escape may be made.
If disarmament is attempted (and this includes snatching any held object, not just taking away weapons), the defender must make a save vs. paralyzation to keep hold of the object.
While wrestling, attacks are made against all involved as if they were surprised.
If there are multiple opponents attempting to wrestle a single defender, all attackers add their wrestling rolls together and then compare the total against the defender.
Creatures whose physiology or special abilities suggest grappling (tentacles, adhesive, multiple limbs) gain a further +1 bonus to its wrestling roll per hit die.
I like it. Very similar to some houserules I used to use, and it worked well in play. I added Strength instead of Strength modifier - I like making attributes mean more, not less, but that is a matter of personal taste.
Odrook December 19, 2010 at 10:17 PM
It's groovy, but I noticed it destabilizes when multiple opponents gang up. I was going into some detail about it, but the comment was getting huge, so I moved it over to my own blog. If you want to see the problems I spotted, it's at http://odrook.blogspot.com/2010/12/wrestling-with-flame-princess.html
Short version: Adding the dice rolls for multiple opponents makes ordinary combat tactics obsolete when the party outnumbers even very powerful foes (even a giant tentacle monster!). Proposed solution: instead of adding +d20+bonuses for allies, add +4+bonuses for allies. Results: ganging up is still a significant advantage, but not a ridiculous one.
I agree with Odrook. Adding rolls and modifiers for everyone involved makes wrestling the tactic of choice every time the PC outnumber the NPC.
d20+bonuses for primary combatant (for instance, the one with the biggest bonuses, ergo usually the fighter) and +bonuses for all the assisting combatants +4/difference in number of combatants might work. This is almost the same as Odrook's suggestion, except it adds the difference, not number of assisting combatants times +4.
Oh, the attack the armed defender gets to make against the grappler: Is it simply acting out of turn or is it an extra attack?
graham December 20, 2010 at 12:37 AM
If adding rolls are too powerful roll for each attacker, use the highest result.
Higgipedia December 20, 2010 at 12:43 AM
I think a combination of Odrook and graham's ideas would work best.
If three people are grappling, you take the best d20 roll of the three, then add the combined bonuses of the three of them.
That's how I think I'd handle that.
Otherwise, I think it's a great rule and much more streamlined than before.
Odrook December 20, 2010 at 1:52 AM
Not sure what the "best of" would actually do to the math & averages, but it feels good instinctively. I guess it keeps the minimum and maximum results a little lower, more likely to be within reach of an opponent with decent modifiers, but reduces how much of a roll luck plays - at least on the attackers' side. I'd have to see how each method actually plays out to determine which has the right feel.
@navdi: the thing is, the text as-is specifies multiple attackers against a single defender, not group vs group. Visualizing a large brawl with multiple participants on each side, I'm seeing it break into a bunch of smaller wrestling matches, many being one-on-one, but with a few pockets where a group of aggressors are attempting to dog-pile one defender. If someone else comes to the defender's aid, I'd say the new guy has to grab one opponent and yank him off the pile - starting his own one-on-one wrestle.
Er, my point is that I'm not sure how three guys can team up against two guys except that one takes on one and two team up against the other. I interpret as treating these as two separate grapples, not as a single big grapple, that's why I present the bonus the way I do. I'm assuming it's more similar to standard D&D combat, where one or more characters will target a given creature, than to T&T-style combat, where the whole party rolls against all the monsters. See what I mean?
graham December 20, 2010 at 1:57 AM
I had to go and calculate the odds for myself and best of 2d20 gives you an average of 13.825 and best of 3d20 gives you 15.4875.
The more I think about this the more I like it.
A man with 18 strength and a +3 modifier will roll an average of 13.5, making him a roughly equal match for two ordinary men.
And an ogre or something with a +5 modifier will be able to wrestle pretty evenly with three normal men.
I didn't calculate beyond 3d20 because the maths get increasingly shitty but there will be diminishing returns which also makes sense to me because more and more guys will start to get in each others' way.
I think cumulative bonuses would be okay because no matter how high the average gets the range will still be limited to 1+bonus to 20+bonus.
anarchist December 20, 2010 at 7:00 AM
Does the grapple automatically fail if the attack of opportunity hits?
(excuse 3.5 language)
JimLotFP December 20, 2010 at 11:53 AM
How's this for multiple grapplers -
All of the attackers roll, use only the best roll of the bunch (+ 1 per extra attacker).
However, immobilized (NOT pinned) opponents may still attack those grappling them if they have a minor or natural weapon - so it's still a bad idea to gang-tackle a werewolf or especially a dragon.
Makes grappling a valid strategy against certain targets and a truly stupid idea against others.
(the grapple would not automatically fail if the "AoO" hits)
metamorphosissigma December 20, 2010 at 2:23 PM
You shouldn't have to have both hands free to wrestle.. What if you're forced to wrestle with one hand (one hand tied behind your back, e.g., you only HAVE one hand, or you're holding something you absolutely CANNOT drop like a hand grenade!)? You should still have a chance, albeit perhaps at a large penalty.
Rob_S December 21, 2010 at 6:40 AM
I used a Higgipedia's variation on the grapple rules above. 2 fighters and a henchman wrestling a possessed straight-jacket. After 3 rounds they had it pinned and bound up.
The rules were intuitive and in no way bogged down play. Its the bogging down play thing I have an issue with, curse you 3.5, so I would call this rules variant a success.
Graham, thanks for the calculation. I hadn't considered the issue of diminishing returns, although I think it's fair to leave it to the referee (with perhaps a reminder) to say when enough is enough.
Mr Raggi, I think you've synthesized the ideas pretty well there. I'll try to put this to use in the next few sessions, if my players piss off the goblins or something, and see what happens.
Nuurori December 25, 2010 at 5:24 PM
Problem with grappling rules comes from the fact, that combat rules are made for swordplay and everything else has to be hacked together whatever remains are left on the table.
Say, the use of saving throws to avoid being disarmed or HD as a wrestling bonus for tentacle monsters have different effect depending on the level of play; At lower levels it is easier to disarm and fight tentacle monsters. Higher levels Evil Knights tend to have their swords glued to their gauntlets and tentacles go everywhere.
I'd probably avoid using opposed checks, and use AC or Wrestling Class (WC) or alike to keep combat rules as coherent as possible (fuck realism!).
On succesfull wrestling hit, there would be either a lose of next action for target, or control of his next action. On failure, you lose your next action or lose control of your next action to the target who just handed your ass over to you.
Either degree of success or requirement of target already lost his action would allow the control.
So disarming or forced movement or whatever would be, as an action, be taken by the victim, but controlled by the succesful wrestlée.
I'd also give opportunity to take wrestling even when armed, during normal course of combat fighting. It would be funnier that way, and it would not give any benefit of wielding weapons anyway, since they have no effect in wrestling.

Landslide is one of the destructive phenomena of natural resources and threatens the sustainability of forest roads. The purpose of this study is to determine the zoning of land risk for the stability of forest roads using the process of analyzing the hierarchy in the GIS. The final zoning map of landslide hazard based on the combination of different maps and main criteria of topography, vegetation, geology, soil, waterways and roads, in 5 classes of landslide danger (40.19%), high risk (30.99%), medium risk (22.5%), low risk (6.29%) and very low risk (0.03%). According to the results, the maximum area of landslide in terms of slope (15-30%), in terms of direction (north direction), in terms of soil depth (100-110 cm depth), soil permeability (with good permeability), in terms of The geology (jmz and ql formations), in terms of distance from the fault (0-200 m), is recorded in terms of distance from the road (0-100 m) in terms of distance from the road (0-100 m). Which is based on the AHP process of accuracy.

We just got the proof 2015 "America the Beautiful" State Park Quarters. The Nebraska, Homestead quarter is already out. But this is our first view of the other coins. It may not be an honest way to look at the coins (that being proof versions), but we are going to handicap the field based on our first impressions.
Proof versions can be very misleading versus the uncirculated coins. You'll see what I mean as we look at the first coin. One more note, you can click on the name of the park and it will take you to the park's official page.
Uncirculated Version. Put out the fire!
This coin features a humble wood sided home, with a water pump out in front. On either side of the home there are ears of corn. The proof version of this coin looks very handsome, as buildings often do on a coin. But what will it look like uncirculated? We already know that since the coin is in circulation. It basically looks like a house that is on fire. Many of the modern coins seem to have this problem. It appears that they were made to be proof coins with disregard for what an UNC will look like.
These coins are going to the birds! Two of this years designs have a bird as the main subject matter. I'm sure someone will write in and let me know what type of bird this is, but I don't know a Crane from a Loon from a Heron. Overall this coin looks nice, but I am concerned about how it will translate to a circulating coin. The landscape in the background may interfere.
These coins are going to the birds! Oh, did I already use that line. Sorry. Once again I am not sure what type of bird flies here, but I'm getting hungry for Thanksgiving! The artist for this coin was able to design it in a way that made the bird look like it is in motion. Many coins attempt this but do not succeed. This coin should show well in the circulated versions since there are not competing images in the background of said bird!
I will admit that a parkway was not the first thing I think of when I think of a national park. This coin looks pretty cool in proof, but I highly doubt it will look good uncirculated. I don't know if they could actually translate the vast park down to one coin, but if you look at images of the park, you may agree with me that the coin doesn't do the park justice.
Saratoga, The coolest Quarter Ever!
And now for the coolest quarter of all. On a scale of 1 to 5 it is Chuck Norris. The Saratoga National Park has two hands and a sword with "British Surrender 1777" on it. The first reason this coin sticks out is because it does not have an animal, building, plant or monument depicted. The second reason is because IT HAS A SWORD. That automatically makes it cool. But not only that, it actually looks really nice. I think it will look handsome in person, but perhaps not as handsome as the proof version. I am looking forward to the 5 oz silver version.

The Concept of Time (eBook, ePUB)
The First Draft of Being and Time

The Concept of Time presents Heidegger's so-called Dilthey review, widely considered the first draft of his celebrated masterpiece, Being and Time .

The Concept of Time presents Heidegger's so-called Dilthey review, widely considered the first draft of his celebrated masterpiece, Being and Time. Here Heidegger reveals his deep commitment to Wilhelm Dilthey and Count Yorck von Wartenburg. He agrees with them that historicity must be at the centre of the new philosophy to come. However, he also argues for an ontological approach to history. From this ontological turn he develops the so-called categories of Dasein.
This work demonstrates Heidegger's indebtedness to Yorck and Dilthey and gives further evidence to the view that thought about history is the germ cell of Being and Time. However, it also shows that Heidegger's commitment to Dilthey was not without reservations and that his analysis of Dasein actually employs Husserl's phenomenology. The work reopens the question of history in a broader sense, as Heidegger struggles to thematize history without aligning it with world-historical events. The text also provides a concise and readable summary of the main themes of Being and Time and as such is an ideal companion to that text.

Dental Health: Treating Gum Disease May Ease Other Ailments
Intensive treatment of gum disease may lead to improved blood flow and significantly reduced inflammation in the body, a new study reports.
Previous studies had come to similar conclusions, but this was the first clinical trial, the researchers said.
The researchers randomly assigned 120 people with severe gum disease and no other chronic infections to ordinary care or intensive periodontal treatment. Then they measured blood vessel elasticity, a test of blood flow efficiency, at one, two and six months afterward.
Credit...Stuart Goldenberg
At first, the blood flow efficiency declined in the periodontal group. But it improved significantly compared with the other group when tested two and six months later.
There were no significant differences between the groups in such heart disease risk factors as levels of high-density or low-density lipoproteins, total cholesterol or blood levels of C-reactive protein. The study, published March 1 in The New England Journal of Medicine, included only people with severe gum disease, and the authors wrote that it was not clear that similar improvements in vascular function would be seen in people with less serious periodontal problems.
Maurizio S. Tonetti, the study's lead author, explained in an interview that gum disease, along with other chronic inflammation, might contribute to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Dr. Tonetti is the executive director of the European Research Group on Periodontology.
"People should not think that this is the cause of heart attacks," he said. "It's one of many things that can contribute. But investing in oral health, both in terms of prevention and treatment, may not only be good for your smile and chewing, but for your overall health as well."

Cybersecurity company in San Antonio raises $3M in capital from investors
December 2, 2016 /in News /by Nicholas Cooper
Delta Risk LLC, a San Antonio-based cybersecurity company founded by former military veterans, got a boost to help build its midsize business market share after investors pitched in $3 million, according to records on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company raised $3 million in debt among six investors, and didn't specify any minimum investment threshold, records show. It was not in combination with any merger or acquisition activity.
When reached by email, a company spokeswoman said the funds will be used to build its employee base and expand services to mid-market in addition to sales and marketing efforts.
The Chertoff Group, a Washington D.C. advisory firm for security and risk management, has a majority stake in Delta Risk after a major capital influx of $13.8 million was raised through its subsidiary TCG Diamond Holdings LLC in 2015.
David Leach is the president of TCG Diamond Holdings and principal of The Chertoff Group's private equity operations.
Delta Risk's headquarters sit along South St. Mary's Street inside the One Alamo Center in San Antonio.
The company is hiring nearly a dozen employees across all its offices – two employees are expected to be based in the Alamo City. These positions include a cybersecurity business development analyst for federal contracts and a proposal writer for the company, according to its website.
In July, Delta Risk acquired a competitor in the Philadelphia region named Allied InfoSecurity. It is hiring cybersecurity professionals in that market also. At the time, the company had about 90 employees — the new hiring round will likely take the business above 100 workers.
The inspiration for aiming to sell cybersecurity talent to middle market businesses stemmed from experiences with clients who sought out Delta Risk in disaster scenarios. The goal is for more cyber breach prevention, said the company's CEO.
"There were firms that in some cases had billions of dollars of annual revenue but were very limited in their security staff," Scott Kaine, CEO for Delta Risk told the San Antonio Business Journal in July. "They would have maybe one part-time security person."
Among the three co-founders, Chris Fogle remains most closely involved in Delta Risk operations as an executive adviser for the company.

"Buhari Is Poor" Doesn't Make Him Incorruptible, "I'm Rich" Doesn't Make Me Corrupt – Atiku Blasts OBJ, PMB
Donkiinee September 12, 2017	Politics Leave a comment
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has advised his self righteous political enemies to either prove his alleged corrupt activities, or mind the skeletons in their own closets and keep quiet.
The APC Chieftain also said that he would fight corruption like never before if he is given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country.
Atiku Abubakar made the charge at a facility tour of the new ultra-modern Yaliam Press Limited in Jabi area of Abuja on Monday.
In a press statement released by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice President said, "It is sickening to continue to regurgitate allegations of corruption against me by people who have failed to come forward with a single shred of evidence of my misconduct while in office."
He added that people who have no initiative, personal resourcefulness and ideas about wealth creation, always assume that a man cannot build himself without stealing.
According to him, "People who are bereft of ideas about entrepreneurial spirit always think that everyone else is a thief just like them."
He added that it is morally offensive for people who despise honest labour to become judges in the courts of public opinion.
The Waziri Adamawa explained that though he has not been convicted of corruption by any court in the land or elsewhere, his political enemies have been parading a fake morality to fool gullible Nigerians.
"Despite previous desperate efforts to link me with corruption, the William Jefferson trial in the United States ended in 2009 without indicting me or linking me to corrupt activities," he said.
Atiku, who was responding to the welcome address by the Chairman/CEO of Yaliam Press Limited, Yahaya Ali Amfani, recalled that he had pasted a reminder at his bed rest during his training as a Custom Officer that he (Atiku) would retire from any agency if he had not attained the headship of the place at the age of 40. Atiku said that he was only able to attain the position of Deputy Director before his exit in 1989 to chart a career in business.
Atiku told the management and staff of Yaliam Press that he retired from the Customs Service with untainted record, and that if anybody has evidence that he stole a kobo at the Customs or during his tenure as vice president, such accusers should come forward or file a petition against him.
Atiku said he didn't become a Vice President in 1999 as a pauper because he has been a successful investor throughout his retirement life.
"If Atiku is a thief merely because of his resourcefulness and successful investments, my political enemies should tell Nigerians the sources of their own stupendous wealth," he added.
He charged the management and staff of the company to manifest the values of honesty, hard work and diligence, attributes, he said stood him in good stead during his years as a public servant and entrepreneur.
The former Vice President said he is well equipped to fight corruption because of his vast experiences both in the public and private sectors and his ability to build a team capable of accomplishing the task.
"I will shock everyone because I believe that I will fight corruption like never before," he said.

May 23, 2016 Law, Politics
A Passing (Personal) Comment on "Academic Institutes"
After posting earlier about think tanks, a friend of mine messaged me to inquire whether the black-box nature of think tanks is also present in formal academic institutes, that is, subdivisions existing within university schools or departments which are dedicated to a particularized field of study. The reason he asked me this is because I spent nearly five years associated with one directed toward international aviation law and had up-close familiarity with numerous others covering, inter alia, human rights, intellectual property, and animal law (ugh). My frank answer was, "I don't know. It depends." I realize that's not terribly helpful, but given the sheer size and diversity of academic institutes out there, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to color them all with a single bucket of paint. Besides, I know very little about the nature of institutes dedicated to, say, the physical sciences or the arts; my "realm" was always law. With that out of the way, I do think it is fair to say that legal-academic institutes which rely heavily on donor money, particularly corporate and special-interest donor money, are always at risk of being captured ideologically. For instance, here is an excerpt from the mission statement of my former institute, which appears on its website:
IALI [The International Aviation Law Institute] strives to be the premier source for research, analysis, and study of international aviation law and policy. To achieve this mission, IALI is engaged in educating the next generation of experts in aviation law and policy through both its journal, Issues in Aviation Law and Policy, and its academic programs; originating and disseminating groundbreaking research and analysis of timely issues in aviation law and policy for the benefit of academics, policymakers and industry stakeholders; and acting as a forum to inform, advocate and promote a liberal, free market approach to the transnational air transport industry.
Notice the last sentence: IALI exists to "act[] as a forum to inform, advocate and promote a liberal, free market approach to the transnational airport industry" (emphasis mine). (In the interest of full disclosure, dear readers, I had a direct hand in penning that line many moons ago.) It should come as no surprise that IALI receives direct support from several major international carriers, including United and FedEx, and regularly participates in conferences dedicated to air-transport liberalization. (Also in the interest of full disclosure, dear readers, I directly benefited from this donor money for most of my time with IALI.) I can say from personal experience that that there was little-to-no tolerance at IALI or among its allies for any research or writing suggesting that the air-transport industry and its workers may be better off through the introduction of more regulation or transnational oversight. Indeed, the only time regulation was ever mentioned with a positive ring is when it protected airlines colluding with each other under blanket grants of antitrust immunity. When I authored (eventually co-authored) an article published in the Harvard Environmental Law Review, I was compelled to insert footnotes and qualifying language suggesting that not only should international air carriers not be subject to transnational emissions regulations, but that man-made climate change itself is possibly a myth. The donor base for IALI would have been unhappy otherwise.
How common this behavior is among legal-academic institutes is anyone's guess, though very few exist without external support. There has been a longstanding suspicion that institutes dedicated to the so-called "Law & Economics" movement have been directed primarily by interests favoring free-market capitalism. Similarly, human-rights law institutes invariably favor Western, liberal-democratic responses to human-rights issues and act to promote an Enlightenment-era conception of "rights" rather than, say, study the efficacy of international human rights law (a far more defensible academic enterprise). Given how closely law is intertwined with policy and politics, I would not be the least bit surprised to find that a majority of legal-academic institutes directed by particular ideological orientations that favor the interests of their respective donors.

Clothing damage plus skimpy costumes: A First look at Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's Senran Kagura costumes
Two Japanese videogames infamous for their skimpy outfits and copious amounts of fanservice have teamed up in a new costume collaboration, and during a live Niconico broadcast event by Famitsu, we finally get to see two of the girls from Dead or Alive 5: Last Round wear the costumes of the female ninjas from Senran Kagura.
The image above features DOA's resident loli, Marie Rose, donning the costume of Senran Kagura's very own resident loli, Mirai. She takes on Kasumi, who is wearing the costume of Senran Kagura's main character, Asuka.
In the broadcast, Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi has said that they are working on a way to make the Senran Kagura costumes a bit more "explosive". This is because Senran Kagura is infamous for a lot of clothing damage to its female ninjas.
So clothing damage on DOA 5: last Round? What will they think of next?!

If you're ready to face your addiction, make an appointment with your doctor. They will likely ask you a series of questions to determine your level of addiction. These questions can also help them determine which treatment option is best suited to your needs. They may also want to speak with some of your friends or relatives to gauge your addiction, symptoms, and treatment opportunities.
Professional assessments are always the best first step towards recovery, and they are especially important for anyone who feels they may have a problem with drinking. Since alcohol is legal, and drinking is culturally acceptable, many people who have an AUD (alcohol use disorder) might not realize the extent of their problem. A professional assessment is the only way to be sure.
