Imagine a letter
By Dan Wright, CNN
Dan Wright is the Executive Editor of "Amanpour."
Today it emerged that ahead of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg His Holiness the Pope had written to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the topic of Syria.
He said: "I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution. Rather, let there be a renewed commitment to seek, with courage and determination, a peaceful solution through dialogue and negotiation of the parties."
It's an emotional appeal for peace, but it's also significant that it comes in the form of a letter. It comes on the back of a similar missive, this time from the Syrian Parliament – addressed to the speaker of the British Parliament – invoking Shakespeare to encourage MPs to vote against military action in Syria. Which they did. Similar letters have gone to the French Parliament and the UN.
There is something about receiving a letter, on paper, that personalizes the content and gets under the skin of the reader. It is interesting that on the verge of what seemed like an inevitable military action, such a personal and old fashion tool is being used, arguably with some success.
As the 21st century weapons such as drones and Tomahawk cruise missiles are poised, will a few words in ink – heart to heart – stand them down?

CNN, where ARE your moderators that have allowed one individual to block other comments by writing a totally irrational and disjointed comment, copying it many times to make it longer, then repeating it all under different log-in names?
You seem to have little compunction in censoring comments you don't like, yet you allow an intellectually-challenged and malevolent person do this? None of what was written is comprehensible, except that rage does filter through, even in the absence of a reason for it. Moreover, it is entirely off-subject.
On some comment boards, if I accidentally try to post something, thinking it didn't "take" the first time, I get a page saying, "You already said that!" even when what I said had NOT been posted. And even if what I said was fully within the Rules of Conduct. Even after giving a day to post my comment, it doesn't show up. But this – individual – can post rants nobody can understand, repeatedly. How so?

I'm sorry you've have to deal w/ so much spam in earlier comments – but I felt compelled to respond. Recently, I learned about and conversed with an editor at 60 Minutes regarding the arduous work that editing a news media piece entails and I have the utmost respect for everything you do behind-the-scenes. Moreover, I am once again impressed by Ms. Amanpour's class and grace by acknowledging the team working with her. Your journalistic integrity simply cannot be surpassed.
The Russians could use their influence with the Asaad regime to help save lives, too many of which have already been lost.
felix ogugbuaja
Saving lives is important, but what about the treaty? Finding a common ground for peaceful resolution; when did the US and RUSSIA start making peace? Well it seems that Assad has put the world in a difficult situation
doabitofhomework
Diplomacy, cease-fires, peace pacts, negotiations – all these are absolutely laudable. The question, for Syria, is whether they could possibly work? We're actually able to believe that either side would respect any treaty they enter into, even while we have examples, like Iraq and to some degree Afghanistan, to prove to us that they won't. Did the "Arab Spring" give birth to the democracies they said they "yearned for"? In every case, they established a new Islamic State. And in each, where different sects exist, the slaughter rolls on unimpeded.
By now, the "civil war" is entirely sectarian. Any ordinary civilians no longer have anything to say about it. A negotiated settlement is the very LAST thing either the regime or the "opposition" wants. Equally unwanted is democracy, which is the "inside-out" of Islam, for both sects..
Although this inability to compromise has also seemed true in other situations, diplomacy does, eventually, settle such wars, most of the time. It makes sense, then, to push for them sooner, rather than later.
What we all seem to forget is that Syria is entirely different from other wars and conflicts. It began in an ordinary manner, with civilians protesting, and the government DID crack down on them, costing many lives. But that's not nearly the whole story. Very rapidly, Sunni jihadis, from all over the world, started to flood into Syria, and took over entirely from the civilians. They are the ones doing most of the fighting. You can be sure that if and when they win the war, the civilians' issues will be totally ignored – or worse.
What started as peaceful protests by unhappy citizens became, almost overnight, a vicious sectarian war. Shi'ites, on the side of the regime, and Sunnis on the side of the "rebels," and dominating them utterly.
The fighting is thus entirely based on Islam. Of course, nobody admits that Islam (peaceful and tolerant) has anything to do with it, when, in VISIBLE reality, it has EVERYTHING to do with it.
And sectarian battles don't know what "compromise" or "mediation" are, nor would they want them if they did. An absolutist belief system is just that: absolutist.
This "civil war" is now a fight to the death, and both sides know it. The only people who don't know it are the world's non-Muslims. That's because they know nothing about Islam.
One side may eventually win, and a kind of "settlement" will be "agreed upon." But no Muslim feels the slightest need to abide by agreements they've entered into unless it suits them and their religious agendas to do so.
Each sect regards the other as "false Muslims." For such people, Islam has only one way to deal with them: intense and protracted torture, followed by a grisly death. Even we "infidels" are better, and merely deserve to be slaughtered outright.
Remember Arafat? His peace accords were always violated before the ink dried on them. We found him disgusting and dishonest. But in fact, he was merely being a good Muslim.
In Islam, lying to an enemy or infidel is a VIRTUE. They lie to us when we ask them about Islam, even while events are making it entirely clear that peace and tolerance are NOT Islamic values, nor is there any value on human life – not even the lives of the believers themselves. Muslim jihadis are required by Allah to fight jihad at least once in their lifetimes, AND are required to HOPE TO DIE in the process. It's as anti-life as things can get in any belief system.
And please note that quiescence (not being violent) is no proof that a given Muslim is not jihading in another form. Working on the propaganda to keep us thinking Islam is peaceful and tolerant is just one of many forms that do not require physical force. And in some ways, it's even more important to them than the fighting is.
I've studied Islam for almost two decades. How many of YOU have studied it? Those who do a thorough study will always come away with their hair standing on end. Do YOU have the courage to face such an ugly reality? Maybe it's because you already suspect how ugly it will be, that keeps you from seeking the true reality of Islam. That's cowardly.
Most of us believe in freedom of religion. Even atheists recognize that outlawing religions will inevitably lead to something much worse.
But should Islam be included in that? If so, then when they slaughter people by the truckload, why should we criticize them? Aren't they merely exercising their religious rights? Who are we, then, to tell them they shouldn't?
We hold to our ignorance of Islam at our very own mortal peril. Total global conquest is the prime directive of Islam. It does NOT exclude democracies, even the biggest ones. By refusing to acknowledge the realities of Islam, we are letting ourselves be vulnerable. We're unable, even now, to recognize the towering evil on both sides in Syria. Ignore it, and one will win, and will turn on US when it has a chance. Muslims are gathering their forces as we speak, and the main goal is to destroy the democracies and make them totally Islamic. It is only their sectarian hatred and bloodlust that is holding them back at all at the moment. That'll change, of course.
With us being politically correct and comfy, we're helping them do that. I've said it before – I feel no demand on myself to respect any religion whose GOD tells them I deserve to be slaughtered.
Normally im a very opinionated person but I just cannot decide what is worse – allowing the Syrian president to go unpunished for the supposed chemical attack he orchestrated (still not 100% sure about that) or to drop bombs on ANOTHER middle eastern country, therefore enraging the muslim world and encouraging more Jihadists to join the "holy war". This is truly a difficult situation and we just have to trust that Obama is doing what he truly believes is right.


Awesome. I want to see some drop down, beat 'em up action!
Who ever heard of an SFO/ATL feud, though? It's like the chillest city ever vs. the, I don't know, crunkest.
Now if CNNI was based in Minneapolis -- then maybe we'd be on to something. War Against the Tunnel Dwellers, etc.

Govana Speaks Out Against National Water Commission
March 8, 2022 Richard Banton Featured, News, Radio Dubplate 0
Trending dancehall artist Govana went live a few months ago to speak out against National Water Commission (NWC) for the unrealistic bill they sent him.
According to the "1Matik" artiste, who came with receipts, the water company had ridiculously overcharged him $540,078.61. Before this, on August 27, 2021, the artiste said he was charged $44,000, which he stated is understandable.
He explained that the bill for $44,000 was the result of a leaking toilet that his sister was unaware of. Being that he didn't pay the bill immediately, it accumulated up to $70,000.
He went on to say that he was making arrangements for the leaking toilet to be fixed and after it was rectified he didn't immediately pay the bill due to work which included performing on shows.
He explained that following this, NWC went to the premises and disconnected the water on October 29, 2021, due to the outstanding bill.
Upon being notified that the water was disconnected, he immediately paid the bill that same night and NWC returned to the premises and reconnected the water on October 30th.
"70,000 eno. Mi pay 75 just fi mek sure," he said, noting that he paid above what was charged.
Afterwards, on November 1st, he was slapped with an unbelievably high bill of $250,981.22. According to the bills he received, this last bill was calculated between September 25 and October 25.
The artiste expressed that he found it strange that after NWC visited his premises, he was given such a high bill. He questioned how this outstanding bill was not added to the previous $70,000 and displayed. He also questioned how was it possible for him to only pay $75,000 and have his water reconnected when there was still such a large balance.
Additionally, the November 1 bill of $250,981.22 was not delivered to him until November 25, while the due date was November 22.
After five days went by, NWC bit him with more outrageous changes. On November 30, leapt from $250,981.22 to $540,078.61.
Govana, born Romeo Nelson, stated that he contacted the company and questioned them about how he was given these charges. "A my house a must di ark weh Mr Kevin Smith talk bout, di Sir Execellenxy. A my house a di ark," he angrily went off.
He mentioned that one of the explanations he got from an NWC representative was that maybe a pipe burst from the pressure when they reconnected the water.
He went on to say that he even went to lengths of getting all the pipes on his premises changed. However, NWC still gave him various reasons for the bill, including that the meter and the computer could not show false information.
On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, Govana came again with more receipts to show the new bills he received from NWC. He posted the pictures on Instagram which showed a bill of $4,710.32 with a bill date of January 27, 2022, and the due date being February 17, 2022.
He also released a second picture showing NWC admitting they made a mistake.
"We have further reviewed the case and found that the water pressure supplied to the property was higher than normal during the period of dispute. Therefore, a decision was taken to write off 75% of the charges in the amount of," the statement stopped, not showing the rest.
The artiste also indicated that he will be taking the cost-effective route by having two big tanks to store water.

WSDG Marks European Expansion With New Offices In Germany & Spain
By By Creative Planet Network Staff
BASEL, SWITZERLAND: Dirk Noy, Walters-Storyk Design Group partner and European GM, has announced the opening of new offices in Cologne, Germany and Barcelona, Spain.
Carlo Fickler, a WSDG team-member since 2006, will lead the Cologne branch. An expert in architectural acoustics and audio/visual technology integration, Fickler will concentrate his energies on existing projects and on expanding the firms' client base on the Continent. Fickler completed the interdisciplinary program in audio and video technology at the University of Applied Sciences and Robert-Schumann-College of Music Duesseldorf in 2004. Following a year as an assistant recording engineer in NYC, and some freelance work as a sound engineer in Germany, he joined WSDG in Basel Switzerland in 2006.
WSDG's Cologne branch is equipped with a full complement of advanced measurement equipment and software tools to analyze all room, structural and electro acoustical issues. In keeping with the firm's business
plan, Fickler will interact with all international WSDG offices, and continue to lend his expertise to the firms' global network of architectural and acoustical experts.
The Barcelona satellite will be co-piloted by Marc Viadiu and Robert Alfageme. Viadiu studied Technical Engineering in Sound and Image and Higher Engineering in Electronics at the University Ramon Llull in Barcelona. After graduation he worked in an industrial acoustics company in Barcelona, before heading his own acoustic engineering and acoustic/audio product distribution firm. In 2009 Viadiu served a six-month internship at the WSDG NY office where he focused on project drawing, acoustical measurements and room acoustical calculations. Returning to Spain in 2010 he rejoins WSDG in the new office in Barcelona.
Robert Alfageme studied architecture at the University International of Catalunya, Spain, where he specialized in Acoustical Construction at the Sert School in Barcelona. Independent acoustical consultant assignments led to a collaboration with Marc Viadiu, and on to their WSDG Spain association.
"Since opening our Swiss office with Dirk Noy in 1997, we have completed a number of high profile European assignments," reports WSDG co-principal John Storyk. "These range from Moscow'sVGTRK Broadcast/Recording complex, the Sunshine Mastering facility in Vienna and the Swiss Parliament Building in Bern to Zurich International Airport. We are extremely enthusiastic about the potential of the European market and are confident our new German and Spanish offices will enable us to better serve the international corporate, institutional, recording and broadcast communities."

Network Notebook: Evaluating Starting Pitchers
Submitted by Jim Hurley on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 at 1:00 PM
Handicapping baseball gets more and more complicated every season. The game is changing so much on the fly that old school approaches can turn irrelevant very quickly. Did you used to focus on starting pitchers who would reliably go seven or eight innings? Few do that any more! Did you like offenses who tried to string together hits rather than patiently waiting for a dinger? Same thing.
*Starting pitchers only go 5-6 innings
*Middle relievers are now CRUCIAL instead of irrelevant
*Defensive shifts are curtailing some hitting stats
*We're back to a "dead ball" era relative to the past 1.5 seasons
*Some teams are actively trying to lose while building for the future
*A few powers are pacing themselves to be fresh for the playoffs
It's like you're trying to handicap the NBA...and soccer...and chess all at once...in a sport that only kinda/sorta resembles the game you grew up with.
The unique TEAM HANDICAPPING approach of JIM HURLEY'S NETWORK helps us stay ahead of the curve as a sport evolves. Our state-of-the-art SIMULATION SOFTWARE is easy to tweak due to changes in strategy. Some quants who were killing it a few years ago have had to junk their systems. Ours is better than ever! For the quants who are keeping up...our WISE GUY CONNECTIONS in Las Vegas and offshore keep us abreast of their daily approaches.
For you do-it-yourself handicappers, this may be your most challenging season yet. And, if you're just a casual bettor focusing on favorites...what you lost during the slumps of teams like Cleveland, Washington, or the Los Angeles Dodgers wasn't made up for by winning performances elsewhere.
While we encourage you to sign up for service as the best shot to find BIG, JUICY, WINNERS; we do have these analytical suggestions this week for you do-it-yourselfers regarding starting pitchers.
*Study Innings-pitched-per-start, and try to find pitchers who can reliably throw six innings while allowing two runs or less. You probably know that "quality starts" are six innings and three runs. That's an unimpressive ERA of 4.50, which isn't good enough in this year's conditions. Look at the combination of endurance and run prevention. A guy who only throws five innings probably isn't going to win money for you unless his team has an extremely deep bullpen.
*Respect strikeout pitchers, but don't limit yourself to them. The elites tend to be overpriced because the Wise Guys POUND them along with the public. Teams are now emphasizing "game managers" who can avoid allowing home runs while allowing the ball to be put into play. Ground ball pitchers are fine with a shift backing them up. Fly ball pitchers aren't getting drilled as often now that the "juiced" ball (more a change in core and stitching) is gone. And, frankly, it's not that hard to get hitters out when they're all swinging for the fences anyway.
*Spend more time than you currently do focusing on ballpark influences. Too many of you ignore these, when you SHOULD be cleaning up on pitchers who are well-suited to shine in their home ballparks. Stay on top of ESPN's ballpark factor chart (use a google search, then review a few times a week). Study home/road splits for regular rotation starters. This is a potential gold mine, so don't be too lazy to lift a shovel. Here's a hint, the "game manager" type pitchers are getting solid results this season in the best pitchers' parks.
*Don't be impressed by starters who shut down the worst teams in the league. We've talked about this in other sports in the past. It's becoming vital to handicap pitchers in baseball based on how they perform vs. different levels of competition. Separate MLB teams into "classes," and calculate ERA and WHIP vs. those classes. A guy may look like a "hot" pitcher who just happened to beat up on Kansas City, Baltimore, and the Chicago White Sox in recent outings. He's not "hot," he's just taking candy from tanking babies. Respect performances vs. quality, fade pitchers who struggle even during the softest parts of their schedule.
Out-of-date approaches just aren't going to work right now in baseball. But, being SMART always works in your battle against oddsmakers! Don't give up on baseball if you've been struggling. Consider this DAY ONE of a new campaign to build a nice bankroll in advance of the football season.
If you'd like some help, JIM HURLEY has always been ahead of the pack when it comes to baseball betting. You can purchase daily BEST BETS right here at the website with your credit card. If you have any questions about long term or combination packages, please call us in the office during normal business hours at 1-800-323-4453.
Don't forget to check on early-bird football. The NFL Preseason is less than a month away! We have great combination packages that get you the rest of baseball and all of football at a very reasonable price. If you're serious about making money as a sports investor, you should have your football ducks in a row by the end of next week's All-Star Break.
Because football is just around the corner, we'll start mixing some gridiron tips into these weekly NOTEBOOK entries soon. Whatever the sport...whatever the month...you're going to GET THE MONEY with JIM HURLEY'S NETWORK!

Cuba's Constitutional Reform
Cuba's Constitutional Reform process
February 24, 2019 JaimeM
On the doorstep of February 24 referendum
A brief summary of Cuba's transcendental Constitutional Reform process
Author: Granma | internet@granma.cu
february 22, 2019 16:02:20
Photo: Granma
1. START OF THE REFORM PROCESS
By agreement of the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP), in an extraordinary session held on June 2, 2018, it was agreed to initiate the Constitutional Reform process and approve, as a first step, the creation of a Commission in charge of preparing the proposed Constitution.
The Commission, chaired by Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, First Secretary of the Party, and with the presence of the President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, and the Second Secretary of the Party, José Ramón Machado Ventura, worked intensely in the drafting of the first version.
2. APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
After several sessions of debate, in July of 2018, deputies approved the proposed Constitution of the Republic, and voted to submit the document to an extensive popular consultation.
3. POPULAR CONSULTATION
The process of popular consultation extended from August 13 to November 15 and mobilized the entire country, even Cubans living abroad had the opportunity to participate.
4. APPROVAL OF THE CONSTITUTION BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
The final draft of the proposed Constitution, discussed and analyzed by deputies and enriched with proposals from the population, was approved, by a roll-call vote, by the National Assembly of People's Power, during the Second Ordinary Period of Sessions of the IX Legislature. Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the parliament, summoned citizens with the right to vote to a Referendum, on February 24, 2019.
5. APPOINTMENT OF THE NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION AND OTHER ELECTORAL BODIES
Members of the National Electoral Commission, presided by Alina Balseiro Gutiérrez, were appointed December 28, 2018, while provincial, municipal, district and special electoral commissions were named and constituted later.
To carry out the Referendum, electoral authorities received extensive training that allows them, in addition to fulfilling their responsibilities, to explain the significance of the constitutional reform process, as well as the contents of the Magna Carta that is submitted to ratification.
6. TEST RUN
Electoral authorities described the February 17 test run as satisfactory, noting that the all processes functioned well.
7. CONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM
The Referendum will take place on February 24 throughout the country. The vote has already taken place abroad, which went according to plan: with transparency and total adherence to the law.
On the importance of these elections, Miguel Diaz-Canel said, at the conclusion of the Second Ordinary Session Period of the Ninth Legislature of the National Assembly of People's Power:
"On a date as dear to us as February 24, 124 years after the resumption of the independence struggle led by our National Hero José Martí, Cubans of these times, faithful to our tradition of struggle, will go to the polls to approve the Constitution, as an expression of firmness and loyalty to the legacy of Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro, and we will say with our vote: Yes to the Revolution, to the sovereignty and independence of the homeland, to unity. Yes for socialism and for the commitment to our heroes and martyrs over more than 150 years of struggles for freedom."
8. PROCLAMATION OF THE CONSTITUTION
If the Constitution is ratified by the free and secret vote of the people, it will be proclaimed and will govern, from that moment, the destiny of the country.
