It's quite possible that both sides have used chemical weapons in Syria
What happened in the suburb of Damascus that resulted in the death of 1,429 Syrians on the 21st August?
This question sits at the heart of the debate about what the International Community should do in response to the attack.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry is pretty clear that he thinks he knows what happens and what needs to happen. In short, he believes Assad's regime used chemical weapons on its own people – an act constituting a war crime. Commenting on a declassified report Kerry said that the findings are "are as clear as they are compelling."
His suggested course of action is immediate air-strikes.
The UK knows that the Assad regime has stockpiles of chemical weapons partly because 10 months after the outbreak of the most recent conflict the UK government sold nerve gas chemicals to the regime.
Despite all this, many are still claiming that there is not sufficient evidence that the Assad regime is definitely responsible for these attacks. Natalie Bennett, leader of The Green Party, writing on Liberal Conspiracy said: "no, we haven't seen real evidence, independent scrutiny, in what happened in that hell in a Damascus suburb on August 21."
The UN inspectors are still compiling their evidence and have given no indication of when they will announce their results.
Bennett's suggested course of action involves the ICC. She comments, "The route to justice for a horrific gas attack is the International Criminal Court. As Caroline Lucas said this week: "Crimes against humanity and international law have been committed. Once there is evidence of responsibility for these appalling attacks, those responsible must be dealt with by the International Criminal Court."
Of course, none of this is anything new in Syria.
We know that there have been reports of deaths after chemical attacks for months before this most recent attack. For example, in March this year 26 people died in the Khan al-Assal area (just outside Aleppo) after an attack that is believed to have involved Sarin. On this occasion, the Russian government produced a report suggesting rebel forces were responsible for the attack- a reported that was contradicted by US evidence.
We also know that rebel forces have been in possession of chemicals such as Sarin. In May this year, Turksih forces "found a 2kg cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Nusra Front" .
It is worth reminding ourselves that Al-Nusra is a listed terrorist organisation that is a splinter of AL-Qaeda and is also widely considered to be the most powerful military force currently fighting Assad's regime. We also know that Al-Nusra have claimed responsibility for attacks on civilians areas – a failure of the principle of distinction and itself a war crime. This, when combined with a series of brutal killings, starts to paint a bleak picture of what some within the opposition stand for.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that Assad's forces have used chemical weapons but I am under no pretence that some of those who are opposing Assad are just as capable of such atrocities.

Prologue by actor and playwright John Kani.
In September 2006, the Cape Town-based Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) invited a team from Harvard Law School's International Human Rights Clinic to examine a South African government policy, promulgated in December 2005, which granted the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) extensive powers in deciding whether or not to prosecute alleged perpetrators.

Told toy shooda came along.
We went ling fishing last night, It was kinda like a perfect storm. Warm light winds moon rise in the AM and almost a new moon. Got there before sundown to get set up in the light, always lots of crap to carry in when we ling fish. Heaters lanterns chairs food ( Beer, No don't drink much )tackle you know the essentials for a night time fishing fest. As the sun disappeared the ling started there nightly food raid. It's like then come out of there hidey holes in waves. When one gets a bite we all get bites, any food laying on the river bottom must get eaten by the hoard. We turned back most the ling and a lot of the trout which are collateral damage, other wise we would be finished fishing the first hour. One of my buddy's came up from Butte with a friend of his he also had his girl friend come from town. I had a buddy from here and he brought his soon to be son in law.
Re: Told toy shooda came along.
Wow! That's some awesome fishing, D! I bet you have some great eating there. I sure like your pictures, too.
Is that fish run usually just a one night affair?
Ice fishing there must be world class, D. Are you allowed tipups?
Wow! Great fishing only 45 minutes from home! Is it sometimes hard to decide which to do, hunt or fish?


Skilled software engineers are so high in demand that they can afford the luxury of switching jobs as often as they like, which takes the importance of onboarding and retention to a whole new level.
And it's not just about keeping talent. Some sources suggest that every time a company replaces a salaried employee, it costs the equivalent of 6 to 9 monthly paychecks. For a software developer making $73,000 a year (the average in the US according to PayScale), the recruiting and training expenses alone could be as high as $54,750.
If you want to make sure your new hire doesn't leave you at the end of their first month, you need to make their transition into a new role as smooth as possible. Our developer onboarding checklist will help you do just that.
Since our core service is building and maintaining offshore software development teams for our clients, we created this checklist with remote programmers in mind. That being said, it will also come in handy for anyone looking to streamline their developer onboarding process.
Lay out clear expectations of the role, work hours, and schedule of your new hire, and let them know how you're going to monitor their progress. This will help rule out any initial misunderstanding.
Send your developer the itinerary of the first few days and weeks so that they know what to expect once the employment starts.
Check the time difference between you and your developer, and let them know the exact time you expect them to be online on their first day (we use Worldtimebuddy).
Send your new hire a list of tools they will need for work so that they can install them beforehand. That list might include a version control system and testing software, as well as communication and time tracking tools.
If you provide remote employees with your own hardware, download and install all the necessary applications beforehand and send it well ahead of time.
Prepare detailed instructions, or set up a virtual meeting with a member of your IT team to help with setting up new software and the development environment.
Make sure your introductory project documentation is up-to-date.
Assign a mentor who will be reviewing the project and the development process with your new hire over the coming weeks.
Tell your in-house team about the new person's start date.
Send a package with company branded goodies such as stationery, a mug, or a T-shirt. It's a small gesture, but it will help make your new developer feel more welcome.
Introduce the new developer to their teammates and let them know who does what so that they know which person to approach if they have any specific questions. Don't forget to point out which member of the existing team is the new hire's mentor.
Organize a virtual office tour via a Skype video call or a dedicated video. Even if you plan to bring your new employee to your office some time soon, it's still better to show it to them on their first day. This will instantly bring your organization to life in their eyes and give insight into your culture.
Fill them in on the current state of the project. Be sure to touch on short- and long-term goals, as well as the main problems and tasks at hand.
Provide them with access to corporate email and any other systems they'll need for work.
Give them time to read through project documentation.
Organize an introductory training session with more experienced team members: first with a QA engineer/BA on the functional side of the project, then with a team lead/software architect/senior developer on the technical side.
Invite them to daily status calls to make them feel like an accepted member of the team.
Have your new developer pair program with their mentor on a few tasks.
Assign them smaller tasks from multiple modules of the project. That way they'll quickly get a grasp of the project architecture.
Set out success metrics and deliverables for the first few weeks to give the new employee focus and direction.
Have the mentor talk to the new hire every day to answer questions and review code.
Include your new developer in correspondence concerning project-wide issues like deadlines, global plans, staff changes, etc.
Have one-on-one meetings at the end of each week to provide feedback on your new developer's progress and answer their questions.
Ask them which parts of the onboarding process have been going smoothly, and which haven't. Let them know they shouldn't hold anything back when it comes to questions, comments, or concerns.
If possible, bring them over to your office so they can meet everyone in person. Use this opportunity for team-building activities to build trust and boost productivity.
Conclude with a formal probation review to assess their performance so far and set out future steps for the role and their professional development.
You might have noticed that we didn't include anything about the HR paperwork and workstation setup in our developer onboarding checklist, which are both essential components of the onboarding process.
The reason is that when you hire offshore software developers with a company like ours, you don't have to worry about any of those things.
We'll take care of office space and the hardware and software your developers will need for work. HR and retention, payroll, taxes – those are all on us too. We'll also advise you on the best practices to build effective and long-lasting relationships with your developers and motivate them to deliver high-quality work.

Orange the World, #HearMeToo
Tackling gender-based violence as part of the UN Women and WPP partnership
A historic and international public awareness campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is designed to mobilise governments, activists, civil society and others to end violence against women and girls around the world. The campaign takes place each year from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day.
The campaign has been commemorated by UN Women since its inception in 2010, and for 2018, the United Nations theme for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women was "Orange the World: #HearMeToo". It aimed to honour and further amplify voices, whether a housewife at home, a schoolgirl abused by her teacher, an office secretary or a sportswoman bringing them together across locations and sectors in a global movement of solidarity. It was a call to listen to survivors, to end the culture of silencing and to put the survivors at the centre of the response.
WPP agencies created six campaigns to draw awareness and promote messaging around 16 days in the UK, the US, Mexico, Thailand, India and Turkey. UN Women worked with J. Walter Thompson and GroupM agencies in these markets to create bespoke creative and media strategies that were locally relevant and impactful. These included influencer strategies, interactive websites, contextual ad placements, PR outreach, digital OOH, radio placements and much more. The support paid off with almost 60,000 unique page views and a massive $2.8 million in donated pro bono media from global partners including: Oath, Snapchat, Facebook, Spotify, Pinterest and Amazon, and local media partners including: Boardway Media, Republic TV, Cattri, SHOWTV, Ocean, Primesight, All4, CNN and Kinetic.
This collaborative effort saw agencies, partners and clients rally together to donate, support and create influential work for such an important movement and issue that affects as many as one in three women and girls worldwide.
How 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence was marked across the world:
Mexico (Wavemaker, J. Walter Thompson and Kantar Millward Brown)
Following research by Kantar, the Mexican campaign targets young Mexican girls who often find it difficult to talk about their experiences of gender-based violence. The campaign enlisted four Mexican Youtubers with a combined number of six million followers to generate content to help create better support networks and mechanisms for girls and women in need.
Turkey: #Fireflies (MediaCom and J. Walter Thompson)
Just as fireflies protect each other from danger with their flashing lights, the same should apply for women who are exposed to violence. The campaign encouraged viewers who knew women who experience violence but can't raise their voices, to light up a firefly via www.atesbocekleri.info: "let your light be her voice, courage, and power".
UK: #DrawALine (MediaCom and J. Walter Thompson)
The campaign builds on awareness created with the previous year's activity, using the same famous faces, including actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Billie Piper, to talk about the unique work UN Women do globally to end violence against women and girls.
The campaign also asked the public to share their own pictures and messages explaining their personal reasons for why they want to #DrawALine, creating a visual representation of how people in the UK are united in ending violence against women and girls.
US: Face the Facts (Wavemaker and J. Walter Thompson)
Face the Facts is a text-based campaign that aims to correct common misperceptions and misunderstandings on the subject of violence against women.
Flipping the perception of violence as taboo on its head, the campaign focuses on educating "Slactivists", a sub-section of millennials that support social causes purely online and via social media, on the prevention, protection and services UN Women supports.


I find it amazing how slowly the wheels of information and culture change. Did you know that it was in 1959 that the oxidative stress model or aging was first proposed. This is close to the birth date of my father. Yet is has only been in the last 5 years that this has become widely known by the public. This is an approximately 50 year time lag.

In Memoriam to Howard Margol
Howard Margol, z'l

Howard was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on February 22, 1924. He and his twin brother Hilbert served in the 42nd Infantry Division in World War II and were the first United States soldiers to liberate a Nazi concentration camp.
He was a leader in the field of Lithuanian Jewish genealogy and led many heritage tours to Lithuania with our current Board member Peggy Mosinger Freedman. Howard and his wife Esther established and administered the American Fund for Lithuanian-Latvian Jews. Howard and Esther willingly provided the guidance, encouragement, and assistance necessary for Remembering Litvaks, Inc., to begin its work in Lithuania.
May his memory be for a blessing for all whom knew him.

The world's population increasingly lives in cities. But the boundaries between cities and the countryside are often hard to define, with people, money and resources flowing in and out. We look at the many visions, plans and realities for different groups of people in urban places, and how they could be made more sustainable and socially just.
What can transdisciplinarity give back to communities?


In the end, I made two things: spiced cashews and goat cheese-topped stuffed mushrooms. Which were just fine, not worth repeating here. We sat around the pool, and Mabel bounced from lap to lap and then we stuffed ourselves silly with turkey and stuffing. Which led to the entire family sitting around in a tryptophan haze watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and giggling. A Thanksgiving first.
Before Thanksgiving, I made fish tacos for my parents, using avocados from their backyard tree that had ripened perfectly on the kitchen windowsill. Every time I go to Florida, I get avocado tree angst. And kitchen windowsill angst.
The one recipe I'd like to share is from way before Thanksgiving. It's a shrimp and white bean salad which I served as a starter before some sweet potato ravioli. The salad is nothing more than chopped cooked shrimp mixed with plump white beans but it's more than the sum of its parts.
Bright and fresh from copious amounts of fresh parsley and a generous squeeze of lemon, it's the sort of salad you want to eat with a glass of white wine on a breezy patio. Or maybe gazing out of your kitchen window looking at your avocado tree. Or in a small apartment, far away from all of that, in Brooklyn.
Adapted from Urban Italian. You can substitute soaked dried beans for the canned, but the canned beans work just fine for me--and save a lot of time.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 4 Tbsp.
Drain and rinse the beans in a colander. Combine the beans, onion, olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the mixture aside.
Rinse the shrimp and blot dry with a paper towel. In a skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, turn the heat to low, and cook until the shrimp begin to turn white - about 1 minute.
Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes. Continue cooking for 1 minute, until the fragrance of the garlic is released. Turn off the heat and add the remaining 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and the thyme, rosemary, juice of the other lemon, parsley, salt and pepper.
Arrange the beans on a serving plate and pile the shrimp mixture over the top. (Or, you can add the shrimp to the beans and mix the whole thing together) Serve hot or cold.
I wish I could grow you an avocado tree! Would you maybe settle for a fig tree?
White beans are another one of those secret ingredients like greek yogurt. Sneakily versatile.

Membr Insights is our super-flexible new reporting tool! Insights allows you to look at all aspects of your gym's data in powerful new ways, to better allow you to spot trends, be more proactive and generally make more informed decisions!
Membr Insights uses the same login credentials you use to access the main Membr product, so there's nothing new to remember. All you need to do is go to the Insights website and enter your normal login.
As a security measure, the first time you log in (but only for this first time), an email will be sent to your registered email address for you to authorise, so check your inbox! Once you have validated your credentials, you will not need to perform this step again, and can log-in directly in future.
You can also 'build' your own reports by choosing the type of data to operate on - prospects, members etc. - these are found in the My Data menu. Once the type is chosen you can then refine and drill down on the exact details you're interested in by applying specific filters, date ranges etc.
Using either method, the main area of the screen contains the output for the current report type. You can see the current report (or data) type at the top corner of the screen with a little (i) next to it; when you first log-in this will be All Members, but you can choose many others from the report presets available in the MyReports area, also at the top of the screen.
The other control shown in the first screenshot is the Column Display Selector; this allows you to choose which columns of information to display in the main listing area. With this, you can customise and de-clutter the listing, so that it displays only the items that are relevant to you for this particular report.
Whatever columns you choose for your report listing, you can cause the listing itself to be sorted according to one of those columns, much like you can in Windows. For example, click on the column heading Member First Name to sort the name list alphabetically. Click the same column again to reverse sort it.
The available report presets will often provide the information you need just as they are, but you can further refine the reports using the Gym, Filters and Group By options available down the left of the screen.
Depending on your log-in permissions and number of clubs, the Gym area might display a fixed, single gym, or a drop-down list giving you a choice of several, so that your report can include a specific gym or a choice of several.
Filters are a fast and flexible way to narrow down the records being listed. For example, you might want to list all members born after the year 1999, or all members without a key fob, and so on. You can create several filters to really narrow down your query if you prefer - all members born before 1980 with a frozen membership for example.
Click on Add Filter to get started - you'll see there are powerful options to add filters for specific conditions being met, not met, or that contain a particular piece of text etc.
This conveniently counts the number of entries that match the different possible types for the grouping you chose and then adds a 'count' column, so you can see how many of each type there were.
Note that using 'grouping mode' will change the columns being displayed to show only a 'Count' column, and also the grouping type(s) you chose - so if you group by gender, it will display only the Count and Gender columns.
Viewing the report on-screen will often be enough in some situations, but a complete copy (i.e. all pages of the current report you are viewing) can be downloaded in Excel format if you need it - click the Download button and check your downloads folder!
We hope this short guide has given you a taste of the power that Membr Insights can give - as ever, we would love to hear from you with any feedback, requests or suggestions, and of course, happy reporting!
