Continental posts 'historically weak second quarter', fixed costs reduced by more than 400 million Euro
Automotive Today Posted On August 5, 2020
The sales and earnings of Continental were down substantially in the second quarter of 2020 due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
"A market crash in the automotive industry like the one we are experiencing now has not been seen since the end of the Second World War. In the first and second quarters of 2020, when the economic crisis in the automotive industry was at its worst, we outperformed the respective markets in China, the USA and Europe," said Elmar Degenhart, Continental CEO, when presenting the half-year figures on Wednesday in Hanover.
Consolidated sales in the second quarter amounted to €6.6 billion (Q2 2019: €11.3 billion). Before changes in the scope of consolidation and exchange-rate effects, sales declined by 40 percent. At the same time, the global production of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles fell by about 45 percent in the second quarter to a total of 12.3 million units (Q2 2019: 22.1 million units), according to preliminary data. As a result of temporary plant closures due to the coronavirus pandemic, second-quarter production figures in Europe and North America were very weak, at 2.0 million units (-63 percent) and 1.3 million units (‑69 percent), respectively. In contrast, production in China increased to 9 percent year-on-year thanks to government subsidy programs, with 5.9 million passenger cars and light commercial vehicles rolling off the lines.
The adjusted operating result in the second quarter was ‑€634 million (Q2 2019: €865 million), corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of ‑9.6 percent (Q2 2019: 7.7 percent). Net income totaled ‑€741 million (Q2 2019: €485 million).
In light of the unexpected deterioration of the economic environment, Continental lowered its fixed costs by more than €400 million in the second quarter compared with the same period of the previous year. For the year as a whole, the company is well on the way to reducing fixed cash costs by more than 5 percent compared with the previous year. "Our balance sheet remains very sound, due in part to the savings measures that we initiated immediately. Our tough cost-cutting measures are having a quick and noticeable effect. We are thus giving ourselves room to maneuver and remain on track," said Degenhart.
In the second quarter of 2020, Continental reduced its capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment, and software to €448 million (Q2 2019: €785 million). All business areas contributed to the decrease. As a result, the capital expenditure ratio was down to 6.8 percent after 7.0 percent in the comparative period of the previous year, despite the substantial decrease in sales. For the year as a whole, the company is planning to reduce its investments by more than a quarter compared to the previous year. At the end of the first quarter, Continental had estimated its savings potential for investments at more than 20 percent.
Capital expenditure on research and development in the second quarter amounted to €809 million (Q2 2019: €917 million). As a result of the substantial decrease in sales, the ratio rose to 12.2 percent after 8.1 percent in the same period of the previous year.
Since early June, all Continental plants worldwide have resumed production. Public life in some regions is still restricted by the coronavirus pandemic, however, and some plants' capacities are being used at greatly reduced levels in line with the substantially lower global demand. Depending on how the pandemic and its consequences continue to develop, it is possible that the company will once again have to make temporary adjustments to production at certain plants. At present, about 25 percent of all employees are working reduced hours worldwide. In Germany, around 30,000 employees worked an average of five days less in June.

When furnishing its premises, hospitals are faced with numerous strict demands that range from the highest level of hygiene to accessibility and durability. It's no exception when it comes to the flooring as it has proven to be a crucial element in creating a high-quality care setting.
Various areas of a hospital will commonly demand different materials and finishes, so it takes careful consideration to determine what the best fit is. Here is a simple guide to economical flooring options for hospitals.
Entrance areas are the first space patients, and visitors get to see, so they withstand the most wear and tear. This demands a highly durable flooring option that will also be easy on the eyes and make a positive first impression.
Terrazzo and sheet vinyl flooring come highly recommended both being extremely durable, hard-wearing and requiring minimal maintenance. They can take a lot of rolling loads, are wheelchair friendly, available in mostly recyclable materials and are quite versatile in design.
Corridors connect all parts of a hospital, so they see a lot of foot traffic daily, including heavy loads, stretchers, equipment carts, med carts, and wheelchairs. To minimize disruptions, corridor flooring needs to be rapidly installed and require minimal maintenance.
This is where sheet vinyl flooring fits perfectly as it comes in large rolls that provide maximum coverage with minimal seams. Real pros, as these Sydney-based sheet vinyl flooring experts, will ensure a smooth surface that will offer not only comfort and low maintenance but also a perfect blend of durability and style.
As these floors are also produced according to environmentally-friendly practices, you will ensure a healthy and healing surrounding in your hospital. By opting for themed and patterned vinyl, you'll introduce a more transparent system of paths to different care areas, as well as promote healing and reduce stress by supporting an evidence-based design scheme.
Emergency and operating rooms must remain available around the clock, and they require the highest and strictest levels of infection control. Flooring options in there must be easy to clean, smooth, low-texture and easily installed. Proper installation will ensure that no dirt or fluids can enter beneath the surface and cause contamination.
Linoleum and sheet vinyl floors are a perfect fit for these areas as they enable the use of flash coving and heat welding during installation which makes it possible to create a completely aseptic environment. These materials also come with coatings that are stain-resistant and do not require polishing, waxing or spray buffing. They are also low-VOC, so the excellent quality of indoor air is guaranteed.
Besides the basic requirements for being easy to clean and stain-resistant, floors in cafeterias also need to be slip-retardant. Cafeterias should also be comfortable and appealing, so patterned and textured rugs can fit very well as they reduce and hide scratches and scuffs. The best options are tile and sheet vinyl as they come in a vast range of vibrant colors and natural textures while providing lasting durability.
Many hospitals have opted for a patient room design that emulates a home-like setting so that the patients can feel as comfortable as possible. Since these rooms don't require aseptic floors, the choice or adhesives, materials and installation methods are much broader.
Linoleum and sheet vinyl offer stone, wood and other natural looks with high durability and lower costs than most other options, especially natural materials. One of the latest opportunities to consider is textile flooring. It gives the feel of a carpeted floor with the performance and durability of tiles.
Choosing the right type of flooring for each specific area in a hospital will ensure a higher level of safety and cleanliness while also providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing design.

Hormizd ou Hormozd ou   Kushanshah (mort après 284) est un prince sassanide de Perse de la fin du  de notre ère.

Origine
Hormozd ou Hormizd est le second fils ou le neveu de , empereur sassanide de Perse.

Usurpation

On ne sait que très peu de choses sur Hormozd jusqu'en 276. Il semble qu'il soit l'Ormizd qui s'intitule « grand roi des Kushâna » vers 252. En 276,  disparaît et son fils , frère aîné ou cousin d'Hormozd, lui succède, ce qui attise les ambitions de ce dernier.

 Kushanshah se révolte et tente de se créer un royaume indépendant dans l'est avec l'aide des Sakas et des Geles. Il bénéficie de l'appui de , roi des Kouchans et des Alains du nord du Caucase. Peu après, en 283, les Romains profitent de cette guerre civile pour envahir la Mésopotamie. L'empereur Carus s'empare de Ctésiphon, mais meurt peu après. Hormozd disparaît lui aussi peu après de manière inexpliquée.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon on China: 'We shouldn't be afraid'
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says banks will be there for customers in good times and bad.
JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon says America should not be fearful of China but set firm guardrails in dealing with the rival nation, cautioning that severing business ties would not help U.S. consumers.
Dimon downplayed the perceived threat in an interview with FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo, noting that U.S. GDP per person dwarfs China's. "We have all the food, water and energy we need," he told the "Mornings with Maria" host. "They don't."

The CEO said that while China has lifted many of its citizens out of poverty in recent decades, "We shouldn't be afraid. We should just negotiate security, tax, trade – all the things that make sense for us – and we should do it directly, forthrightly, toughly."
JAMIE DIMON SOUNDS ALARM ON RISING US DEBT HAVING 'POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS OUTCOMES'
Dimon said China is getting ready to emerge from a few years of very slow growth as it opens up from COVID-19 lockdowns, and is trying to attract more foreign direct investment. He expects those moves will be beneficial to the American consumer.

The banking titan told Bartiromo that he does not see U.S. banks pulling out of China in the near future, saying the U.S. government sets foreign policy and American business wants to compete, "so we want to make sure whatever trade negotiations are advantageous to American business."
BLOCKADE OF TAIWAN BY CHINA COULD COST WORLD ECONOMY OVER $2 TRILLION, REPORT FINDS
He pointed to trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) borne of a big trade network, saying that whether or not China is involved in future deals, "if China cherry-picks these other nations, that's going to be bad for American business."

"Yes, there are a lot of challenges in a lot of countries [we] do business in," Dimon said, adding, "You know, leaving the country isn't really the best thing for the future of America."

THE number of Vancouver properties declared vacant in 2018 under the Empty Homes Tax program has gone down 15 per cent from 2017, with the majority of previously empty homes having been returned to the rental market.
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart said on Wednesday: "The year-over-year numbers are very encouraging. The main objective of Vancouver's Empty Homes Tax is to influence property owners to put their empty properties on the rental market and the data shows that is happening.
As of the February 4 declaration deadline, 922 properties were declared vacant in 2018, compared to 1,085 declared vacant by last year's extended deadline of March 5, 2018, a 15 per cent decrease. Of those properties now declared occupied, the majority (53 per cent) changed to being tenanted.
Properties that were declared vacant or deemed vacant by the City (if a declaration was not received by the deadline), will be issued a bill for one per cent of the property's 2018 assessed taxable value. Empty Homes Tax payments are due by April 12.
This year, 97 per cent of property owners made their property status declaration by the deadline. Starting February 7, property owners will have the option to make a late declaration online, after they pay a $250 penalty; instructions are being mailed to property owners. The ability to make a late declaration is new for this year, and should help to streamline the complaints process.
The geographic distribution of vacant properties in Vancouver in 2018 based on the declarations to date is similar to last year, with the largest concentration in the downtown area. A map showing the distribution of properties declared vacant by neighbourhood can be viewed on the City's website.
The 2018 property status statistics will change as the City's audit program continues, those who have yet to declare make their late declarations, and property owner appeals and complaints are received and resolved.

Q: How wait to execute service in angular? I have code:
data.service.ts
  getDataById(id: number): Observable<Model> {
    return this.httpClient.get<Model>(this.api + 'data?id=' + `${id}`);
  }

data.component.ts
firstFunc(id) {
 this.secoundFunc(id);
 console.log('res from service', this.data); // log undefined
 //do something with this.data
}

secoundFunc(id) {
 this.dataService.getDataById(id).subscribe(res=> {
 this.data = res;
})
}

How to wait for the service to be executed? And then continue executing the rest of the code.
I understand that http request is done as asynchronous operation. I've used, promises, async/await, setTimeout, but none of this helps.

A: There is no way to turn asynchronous variable to be synchronous. The only thing you could do is to move all the statements depending on the async variable inside the subscription.
firstFunc(id) {
  this.dataService.getDataById(id).subscribe(res=> {
    this.data = res;
    console.log('res from service', this.data);
    //do something with this.data
  });
}

If you need to use this.data in multiple places and do not wish to trigger the HTTP call each time, you could cache the response in the service using RxJS ReplaySubject and use it in the component.
Service
export class DataService {
  private cachedSource = new ReplaySubject<any>(1);      // <-- cache last emitted value
  public cached$ = this.cachedSource.asObservable();

  getDataById(id: number): Observable<Model> {
    return this.httpClient.get<Model>(this.api + 'data?id=' + `${id}`).pipe(
      tap(res => this.cachedSource.next(res))
    );
  }
}

Component
export class SampleClass implements OnDestroy {
  complete$ = new Subject<any>();

  firstFunc(id) {
    this.getDataById(id);
    this.dataService.cached$.pipe(takeUntil(this.complete$)).subscribe(
      res => {
        this.data = res;
        console.log('res from service', this.data);
        //do something with this.data
      }
    );
  }

  someOtherFunction() {
    this.dataService.cached$.pipe(take(1)).subscribe(
      res => {          // <-- will emit the last value from the HTTP call
        console.log('res from service', res);
        //do something with `res`
      }
    );
  }

  getDataById(id: number) {
    this.dataService.getDataById(id).subscribe();     // <-- pushes response to `this.dataService.cached$`
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.complete$.next();        // <-- close open subscriptions
  }
}

A: You can do operations on data in subscribe.
    firstFunc(id) {
     this.secoundFunc(id);
    }

    secoundFunc(id) {
     this.dataService.getDataById(id).subscribe(res=> {
     this.data = res;
     console.log('res from service', this.data);
     //do something with this.data
    })
    }

A: Maybe you could try callback!
firstFunc(id) {
 this.secoundFunc(id, () => {
   console.log('res from service', this.data);
   //do something with this.data
 });
}

secoundFunc(id,callback) {
 this.dataService.getDataById(id).subscribe(res=> {
   this.data = res;
   callback && callback();
 })
}

Or try async function
   async firstFunc(id) {
    const result = await this.secoundFunc(id).toPromise();
    // if (result ???)
    // do sth
   }

   secoundFunc(id) {
    return this.dataService.getDataById(id)
   }

So I've been seeing this list everywhere, like at Wicked Wonderful Words and Chasing Bawa and I love lists, so I couldn't resist.
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How incredibly depressing is that?
Put an 'x' after those you have read. Unless I counted wrong, I've read 71.75 (I'm counting the 3/4 of Shakespeare's complete works that I've read).
Green's latest is an overlapping tale of a few women. Callie is a cancer survivor and a mother or two with loving, workaholic husband. Her sister Steffi is living with her rocker boyfriend and working as a vegan chef. Callie's best friend Lila is an average looking girl who almost got married out of a sense of obligation, but backed out at the last minute. Now, at 42, she's finally in love. Despite the surface summary, the plot takes a darker turn than many of Green's previous novels, which gives it a bit more depth.
I didn't love this book because there were far too many different stories being woven together. We hear bits and pieces from the point-of-view of the two sisters, their mother, their single father, their friend Lila, a customer of Steffi's, etc.
Steffi's subplot with her customer/friend Mason could easily have been axed. Also, the friend Lila's decision to have or not have kids added little to the story. It's not that the subplots are bad, they're just distracting. Green also adds a recipe at the end of each chapter and that got old after a bit. It isn't a cookbook and wasn't really necessary.
Towards the second half of the book we realize that Callie's cancer has relapsed and the book finds its much need focus.
That line is what told me Green experienced this loss, somehow, in her own life. I know those dreams and have had them too many times. You wake, completely forgetting that person is gone, and slowly the memory of their death creeps into your consciousness and breaks your heart all over again.
I found out later that Green lost a close friend to this rare form of breast cancer and this book was born of that grief.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll be back on Monday.
When I was young I wanted to be an author and a vet when I grew up. Knowing this, my parents introduced me to the writing of James Herriot, who was both. Later I decided that having to fiddle with animal innards everyday is not the same as owning pets and I veered more towards the writing side of my ambitions, but it never affected my love for Herriot's writing. I'd already read his collections, Dog Stories, Animal Stories and Cat Stories and some of the tales in those volumes are drawn from this book. But they're such sweet tales that it was a pleasure to re-read them.
This memoir, the first in the series, introduces us to James Herriot, a Scottish vet working in rural England in the first half of the 20th century. His writing has a wonderful warm feeling. He can find the humor in any situation, while at the same time understanding the seriousness of others. He manages to portray the bittersweet nature of his job with an admirable sincerity, never deriding his clients' love of their animals and treating each case with the utmost importance.
I love reading Herriot's funny stories about his early days as a vet. Each one is told with a dry British sense of humor. Some of them are a bit too detailed (talking about the animal procedures) and make me squeamish, but that's to be expected and it's always relevant info. His descriptions of the stoic farmers and eccentric partners are a constant source of amusement throughout the book. I found myself wishing that the book wouldn't end, which is a rare thing.
Dalessius is a 20-year-old calligrapher who ends up working for the philosopher Voltaire in France during the Enlightenment. Interesting enough premise, but the plot never found its pace for me. It felt disjointed and confusing. There are automatons, secret messages written on naked women, a heart in a jar and other intriguing concepts, but they never mesh into a cohesive story.
The book is only 150 pages and yet it felt like it was much longer. I found myself never wanting to pick it up and I can't help but wonder if something was lost in translation. Maybe the plot makes more sense in its native language.
I received a complimentary copy of Voltaire's Calligrapher by Pablo De Santis from Regal Literary to review.
That is undoubtedly one of the best opening lines in history. It's simple, beautiful and so complex once you realize what they are burning. For me, Fahrenheit 451 was one of those rare books that shook me to my core. I had read Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World, but this dystopia was so much more terrifying to me. It shows a world in which books were illegal paraphernalia and owning them was cause for death.
Our hero, Guy Montag, is a firefighter, but in this future reality firefighters are the ones who start the blaze, not put it out. They are employed to find and burn books and Montag never questions his profession. Then one night he meets a girl who changes everything for him. She's not empty and cold like his wife. She sparks some bit of life in Montag and he begins to question the world around him.
The most disturbing aspect of the plot is that the people chose to stop reading books, no one forced them. They became obsessed with television and books take too much time and effort. It's a bit too close to our current reality for comfort.
My favorite part of Fahrenheit 451 is the brilliance of how Bradbury decided to preserve books that must be burned. The characters themselves become the books. Individuals all over the world memorized and entire novel or book in the Bible and through them the book was kept alive.
If you've never read this classic I would encourage every book lover to pick it up. It's less than 200 pages, but it packs such a powerful punch that it remains one of my favorite books of all-time.
I recently read the graphic novelization of this book and it was wonderful. The illustrations are done in vivid shades of orange and red throughout much of the book, bringing the fire to life on each page. The graphic novel pays close attention to the details and portrayed the story beautifully. I would recommend reading the actual novel first, so you can create the world in your own imagination first, but the graphic novel is a wonderful treat for those who are familiar with the book.
Dr. Montague is a scientist attempting to prove the supernatural exists. To further his study he invites a small group of people to summer at Hill House, which is supposedly haunted. The invitation is accepted by Eleanor, a socially awkward, nervous woman and Theo, an outgoing beauty. Luke, who will one day inherit the house, also joins the gathering. Soon things start happening and all four people wonder what they've gotten themselves into.
Jackson's ghost story has a similar feel to Henry James' Turning of the Screw and Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger. You know things are happening in the house, but you don't know for sure whether it's the inhabitants madness or ghosts or a combination of both.
Eleanor, who is the focus of the book, seems to have a predisposition to mental instability. She's insecure and temperamental, a bit like a child. Her issues give the whole book and extra layer of creepiness and desperation.
Side Note: About 20 pages into the book I realized that the 1999 movie "The Haunting" was clearly based on it. I also watched the original film, also titled "The Haunting" after finishing the book. The older version stays much closer to the book and the spookiness factor is high. The movie "The House on Haunted Hill" actually has nothing to do with this book.
Jenna is a 17-year –old who wakes up after an 18 month coma. Slowly her memories begin to return and some disturbing truths are revealed. This dystopian novel deals mainly with science vs. ethics and is hard to put down.
I love dystopian novels. Some of my favorite books fall into this category. I love how truths of human nature are often revealed in these stories and the fact that they're never very far from our current reality. Writing a book set in a future or parallel world gives the author the freedom to explore touchy issues in an abstract way.
In dystopian novels the line between good and bad is always blurred, it is an exploration of gray in a way that shows just how black and white things often are (if that makes any sense.) The bad guys always have a perfectly reasonable explanation for all the choices they've made. Sometimes they even make some convincing arguments, but then you remember what they've done and you're horrified that you even considered siding with them for an instant.
For example, in Fahrenheit 451 they burn books, in The Giver they have forced euthanasia, in The Hunger Games it's the slaughter of children for entertainment.
Though I was completely swept away by this book at first, it seemed to unravel a bit in the second half. I don't think Pearson knew what point she was trying to make. It was like she was using the book as a platform to discuss the issue and in the first half she brought up some chilling points, then in the second half she seemed to just waffle back and forth on whether she thought it was right or wrong.
My favorite part of the whole book is the character of Lily, Jenna's grandma. She is the grounding factor for me, the one I can relate to. She's in the story, but she isn't the one who has made any of the decisions, so she can be a bit more objective.
The inspiration for this book was born out of Pearson's own experiences. Her eldest daughter was diagnosed with cancer, then a few years later her youngest daughter was diagnosed with the same cancer. Those traumatic events led her to explore the question of science vs. ethics and wonder how far a parent would be willing to go to save their child. It's a fascinating exploration, but she didn't seem to be able to answer her own question.
It's definitely worth reading, but some elements are far-fetched and it seems to really have to reach to wrap everything up at the end. I do think this would be a fun one to discuss in a book club.
Fluttering Butterflies has a great review here.
This was my first experience with Pratchett and it will not be my last. After hearing about him for years, I decided I just had to read something of his. Nymeth at Things Mean A Lot is a big Pratchett fan and was kind enough to suggest Nation as a good place to start.
It took me a minute to get into the book. I wasn't sure what to expect and at first I wasn't sure what to make of the story. It centers on Maw, the only survivor of the Nation, which is destroyed by a tsunami. He is left alone, disconnected from all he has ever known and he's at once filled with grief, confusion and anger. He turns to the Nation's gods for answers and is left feeling more lost than ever.
The plot really picks up when we meet Daphne (really Ermintrude, but she hates that name, so she says her name is Daphne.) She is a British girl whose ship has crashed on the island. Her relationship with Maw reminded me so much of Peter Pan and Wendy. She's prim and proper at first and he is baffled by her ways, but soon they find a balance and develop a wonderful friendship.
The best parts of the book, for me, were the interactions between those two. Once they moved past their initial impressions they realized they could learn so much from one another. I also loved seeing Daphne gain confidence in herself. She was such a great character; part girl, part woman, trying to come to terms with her own grief and grow up at the same time.
With absolutely no spoilers included I do want to say how much I loved the ending. The characters grew on me throughout the book and by the end I felt so invested in them. The ending definitely increased my rating of the book and my overall love of it. So if it feels slow at first, definitely give it time.
I have to say I was really impressed with Pratchett. He has a similar writing style to Neil Gaiman (whom I adore) and the delightful sense of humor of Douglas Adams. So clearly he's destined to become a favorite. He also manages to balance humor and a deeper message, which I really value in an author. I think that can be a hard thing to accomplish and he seemed to do it effortlessly. At first I didn't even realize he had slipped such important issues into the fold of the story, but once I did I was really moved by the points-of-view he brings up. I'm looking forward to trying out his Discworld series, which I've heard is great. Any other Pratchett suggestions from fans of his out there?
Here's another great review at Chasing Bawa.

Regional candidates from all ridings will debate healthcare at four events in May
Niagara Now
Four Niagara-based organizations have invited local candidates to debate healthcare at four public events in May held in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland and Grimsby.
The Niagara Health Coalition, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) Niagara, the South chapter of the Council of Canadians (CoC) and Niagara's district of the Retired Teachers of Ontario (RTO/ERO) announced their collaboration in a media release Thursday.
"Niagara residents need to hear from all political parties about how they intend to deal with the very significant access to health care and hospital services in Niagara," said Sue Hotte, co-chair of Niagara Health Coalition.
Invitations were sent out over a week ago to all of Niagara's riding associations, said Hotte, and "almost everyone is coming."
Representatives from each organization will take turns moderating the debate, where candidates will be asked four predetermined health-related questions.
Audience members can also submit questions for the candidates to moderators in writing up to ten minutes before the debate begins, said Hotte.
Moderators will ask candidates a small selection of audience-submitted questions.
The four collaborating organizations serve to represent over 35,000 Niagara residents, according to the media release.
Among the team's listed concerns,
Clarice West-Hobbs and Dorothy Prickett, of RTO/ERO Niagara and CARP Niagara, expressed a need to accommodate increasing cases of dementia and complicated care requirements of an aging population.
Fiona McMurran, of CoC, said the council is concerned that funding is going to private clinics, private home care companies, private long-term care homes or P3 hospitals (public private partnership) rather than staying in the public healthcare system.
Niagara's candidates will have the opportunity to tackle these issues at Robertson Hall in St. Catharines on May 14, at the Gale Centre in Niagara Falls on May 17, at the Welland Arena on May 23 and at the Livingston Activity Centre in Grimsby on May 24.
All four debates will run from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Niagarans head to the polls, along with the rest of Ontario, on June 7.


A couple months ago, we wrote about Naiad Reich. This Pennsylvania teacher said she was fired from a Catholic school for being pregnant and unmarried. At the time, it was unclear if she'd lawyer up. Well, we now have an answer. Reich sued over her termination on Friday, and the complaint contains new details about how she was allegedly let go from the school.
Reich, an English teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School, was fired Nov. 30, according to the lawsuit obtained by PennLive. She told Sister Mary Anne Bednar, the principal, about the pregnancy three days before, said the complaint.
Bednar allegedly made clear that the pregnancy was a "huge problem" because Reich was not married to boyfriend Matt Graboski. Reich said she told the principal she had plans to marry but not before the baby's June due date. According to the lawsuit, she refused to resign.
"All employees are bound to exhibit respect for the teachings and discipline of the church in regard to matters of faith and morals," said the alleged updated termination letter from the school.
The teacher appealed, but the Bishop Ronald W. Gainer upheld her termination, though he also ordered for her to health insurance to stay available through July 31, and that she get paid under her contract.
Bednar, Gainer, and the Diocese of Harrisburg were named as defendants. Diocese Executive Director for Public Relations Rachel Bryson told Law&Crime that they haven't received court documents yet, and cannot comment on the lawsuit until then.
In her complaint, Reich said the defendants violated policy by failing to consult with the board of education. She also alleged that officials didn't give her written notices, and the termination letter did not claim "serious or public immorality" for firing her.
"We all know there has been an injustice and mistake," school board member Tony Varano told PennLive in December. He said Bednar didn't consult them, and that all but five members of the 16-person board told him they want Reich reinstated.
Policy labels "immorality" as a reason to fire personnel, but does not clarify if this covers being an unmarried parent.
In her complaint, Reich said that her contract never defined the term "immorality." She also seeks a preliminary injunction, so she can immediately come back to the school.


Activists demanded to unblock the independent website in Belarus.
The rally of Solidarity and Liberation near the Park Chaliuskintsau metro station in Minsk at 13.00, initiated by Mikalai Statkevich, ended up with brutal detentions.
Rally participants were going to lay flowers to the monument to Soviet soldiers in Talbukhin Street, and afterwards to the memorial cross for victims of Stalin repressions, which is in the Chaliuskintsau park.
Rally participants reminded about freedom of speech in Belarus. One of the protesters came out with a poster "Speak without Fear! Away with Censorship in the Media! Freedom to Charter-97!".

Senior Research Fellow Kristi Raik and Programme Director Arkady Moshes commented on the Ukraine elections in Turun Sanomat on October 26th. According to Raik, the election results give the parliament a chance to start over. Moshes argued that a lot of the power will likely remain in the hands of the oligarchs even after the elections.


Which Local Schools Have the Most Graduates Go on to the Ivy League?
Some Washington parents spend as much as $43,000 a year to send their child to a private high school. A good education is the top goal, of course, but there's often another: getting their son or daughter into an Ivy League college.
Private schools can sometimes be secretive about sharing data such as how many of their students get into elite colleges. But now, thanks to research by PolarisList, first reported locally by the Washington Business Journal, we have a peek at which high schools in this region, both public and private, had the most alumni graduate from Harvard, Princeton, and MIT—three schools that top the Ivy rankings—between 2015 and 2017.
Number one on the list is not a surprise: Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, where 79 students graduated, over those three years, from either Harvard (11), Princeton (33), or MIT (35).
The PolarisList is based on sheer numbers—how many total students, versus percentage of the student body, went to one of the three Ivies—which may be why the next two Washington schools that appear on the list are also large public institutions: Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring (ranked #31, with 21 Ivy grads) and Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville (#35, with 20).
Sidwell Friends in DC is the top local private school on the list (#40, with 18 Ivy Leaguers), followed by DC's St. Albans (#69, with 14). Other local high schools rounding out the top: Winston Churchill in Potomac (#80, with 13 Ivy grads), National Cathedral School in DC and Thomas S. Wootton in Rockville (tied at #93, with 12), Walt Whitman in Bethesda (#112, with 11), and Georgetown Day and Maret,both in DC (tied at #134, with 10).
Of these schools, NCS and St. Albans have the smallest average class size (71 and 77), making their numbers even more impressive.

NAB hosted S&P analysts at a lunch last week. In this week's edition we review our impression of the key issues for Australia's AAA rating. S&P's negative outlook reflects general concern with Australia's level of net external debt, coupled more recently with the failure of successive governments to return the budget to balance as forecast. S&P reiterated that no further slippage to the current forecast to return the budget to balance by the early 2020s would be tolerated. That said, our assessment was that S&P did not seem closer to downgrading Australia. This is a slight improvement on our assessment before Christmas when we thought a downgrade was quite likely by the middle of this year.
Trends in Australia's budget over the first six months of 2016-17, suggest, the deficit is tracking marginally worse than forecast, but immaterially so in our opinion. GST and PAYG taxes are growing slowly, though company tax receipts have begun to strengthen. Outlays continue to grow strongly. The latter will likely be (and should continue to be) the focus of the government if it wants to secure its forecasts for a return to balance.
Fed Chair Yellen's semi-annual testimonies on Tuesday and Wednesday – along with other Fed speakers – will be keenly focused on this week for any further clues as to when the Fed will next raise rates – and by how much over 2017.
In Australia, the highlights will be Tuesday's January NAB Business Survey (given the sharp improvement in business conditions in December), Wednesday's Consumer Confidence report and the latest update on the Australian labour market (on Thursday). The RBA's Alex Heath and Luci Ellis speak on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. NAB sees some slight upside risk for employment growth this month, given some undershooting of our models in recent months.


Out here in Utah there are several chains of restaurants that do a kind of mexican/southwest/fusion/modern sorta semi-fast food. They're really popular. They started off with one and have sprouted a few copycat chains as well.
This recipe is basically a copycat of their pulled pork burrito, but, as usual, I can't quite leave well enough alone! So, I tweaked it up to my own style. So, I guess it's not authentic to the restaurant, but then, it's not exactly authentic Mexican, anyway!
It's basically three parts: pulled pork, beans, and rice all tucked into a flour tortilla and folded up, with some sauces you can pour on top. I really like it, and my version, while not exactly like the restaurant, was still a really big hit with the family.
I cooked this up in pretty large quantities for all of my wife's family on our recent travels. We had all gathered up at Bear Lake in northern Utah to celebrate the fourth of July, and so I cooked this for all of them. I basically doubled the recipe below.
First I cooked the pork. This was pretty straightforward. I put the meat in a ziplock back with the cola and brown sugar and let it sit for a long time. Were I to do this again, with better preparation, I would let it sit in a fridge overnight.
When the time came to cook the meat, I started up the coals. I planned on a standard heat, but to cook it a very long time, to make it pull apart easier. I discarded the marinade, and put the meat in to roast, with the seasonings. After about an hour or so, I added the canned ingredients. While it was cooking, I was a little bit worried about there being too much liquid. I had originally thought it would be like a roast, but it really turned into a braise. It turned out to be just right, after the pork was shredded.
Which was the final step. After a second hour (and a half, actually. Maybe three hours...), it was pretty much ready to fall apart. I pulled it off the coals, but left it in the dutch oven. I grabbed a couple of forks and pulled it apart, stirring the braising sauces in as it shredded.
I checked it frequently for quality control, of course. It was muy yummy!
In the final hour of cooking the meat, I also cooked the rice and the beans.
It started with sauteing the first set of ingredients. As always, when sauteing, make sure that the pan and the oil are plenty hot before adding the ingredients.
The next set of ingredients went in next, and I just let them cook together for a while. The beans in the can are already soft, so they basically just need to simmer with the other ingredients so all the flavors develop. Finally, just as the dish was ready to serve, I stirred in the Cilantro.
While the beans were cooking, I also made the rice.
I know these measurements are a little imprecise, but they work. I don't recall exactly how much I used, but I think there were two cups of rice and a total of four cups of liquid. The rest is just just flavoring.
When I make rice, I put in all the ingredients, then put it on the coals. I watch it until steam starts venting out from under the lid, and I let it cook for 5-10 minutes more. Then I remove it from the coals and let it sit for another 10-15 minutes, to cook more and absorb more of the boiling water. I don't remove the lid (if I can help it) at all during the process. Usually, if I follow this procedure, The rice will be done very nicely, ready to fluff and serve!
The dutch ovens themselves make great serving dishes, as each family member filed past and put the amount they wanted on their tortillas. It was very filling and there was much left over! A great time!
Mark, what type of pork did you use? Was a shoulder, chops, etc?
I'm thinking of using your recipe next week on a family camping trip.
Honestly, I don't remember. All I remember was that it was a pork roast, not just thin cut pork chops. I really need to learn more about my meat cuts.

Q: Can a pycharm project downloaded from Github be run without installing pycharm? I have a selenium pytest project in pycharm . I want to export it to github to share it to a friend. What instructions should I give to run the project successfully .

*

*Is installing pycharm needed to run the project .

*If i generate requirements.txt file , will it be enough to install all the packages needed for running the project in my friends machine

*please give a detailed explanation on what my friend should do

A: You don't need PyCharm.
Your friend will need a version of Python and an OS that is compatible with your program.
Once you have made the git repo and your friend has cloned the repo, have them type:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The command line invocation could be many things. You will need to write this part.


And here we are at week nine! I've been trying to do our weeks in order, so I can't exactly remember why I documented week ten before week nine. But I digress....the Feed Your Craft Better Together mini kit launched today! I'm going to go ahead and call it....this one will sell out early.
For this spread, I'm sticking with my 9x12 pocket page album, and mostly 3B page protectors from Studio Calico. For the title card, I used the mega date stamp (the only stamp NOT from this kit) on two labels (printables included with the kit). I also added a chipboard sticker, "i love right now," from the Dear Lizzy Saturday thickers. I used another one of the printable labels from the kit on the picture of Ava, stamped with "You're weird. I like you." I may be using that stamp every week, from here on. We're weird people. I used the "Oh, I hear you" stamp to journal some very personal thoughts about our current political climate (again, these are personal and never meant to offend). I love that the stamps from each kit stretch beyond a given "theme," and can be used in many contexts. I stamped the "cross my heart" card with the "best friend" stamp. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the heart (which is separate pieces), is stamped twice: once in pale pink and again in the green.
The right side of this spread is pretty straight forward. I added some journaling on vellum to a few of the photos. You probably won't believe this...but that Starbucks photo is the first cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. I've sipped other people's coffee before, but I've always hated it. My Starbucks drink of choice is a Trenta Iced Green Tea, no syrup, one Splenda. What can I say, I live on the edge. This was a coconut milk iced latte (I think). I finished the whole thing. Did I love it? Meh, I liked it. I finished it. So, I loved stamping the card with "we just connect." The "sister from another mister" was perfect for documenting a little Moana storytime with one of Ava's best friends.
There's just something magical about Brandi's combination of colors and sentiments. And, yes, I said magical.

William Henry Waddington (Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre (Eure-et-Loir), 1826. december 11. – Párizs, 1894. január 13.) francia politikus, diplomata, régész és numizmatikus. A Harmadik Francia Köztársaság 10. miniszterelnöke.

Élete
Apja 1780-ban telepedett át Angliából Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre-ba, és pamutszövő gyárat alapított, ami 1932-ig működött. William Henry Párizsban, Rugbyben és a Cambridge-i Egyetemen (Trinity College) szerzett diplomát klasszikus ókortudományból. Azután visszatért Franciaországba és kérvényezte a francia állampolgárságot. Néhány évvel később Charles öccse is ígéretes katonai pályáról mondott le Angliában, visszatért szülővárosába, hogy átvegye a családi üzem irányítását.

William minden idejét a régészetnek szentelte. 1850-ben bejárta Kis-Ázsiát, két tanulmányban számolt be útjáról. Tíz év elteltével  Görögországban és Szíriában fejezte be előzőleg megkezdett munkáit. A hazatérése után publikált két tanulmányának köszönhette, hogy 1865-ben az Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres tagjává választották. 1868-ban folytatta a görög és latin feliratokról szóló fejezetet Philippe Le Bas–val közösen írt könyvében, a  Voyage archéologique en Grece et en Asie-Mineure. Waddington tekintélyes éremgyűjteményét a Francia Nemzeti Könyvtár numizmatikai kabinetje őrzi.

Politikai pályafutása
1870-ben a köztársaság mellé állt, 1871-től 1876-ig Aisne megye nemzetgyűlési képviselője, majd a megye szenátora 1894-ig. 1873. május 19-én Adolphe Thiers kormányában közoktatási miniszter, de a kormány hat nap után lemondott. 1876. március 9-én Jules Dufaure 4. kormányában a közoktatási minisztérium élére került, 1877. december 13-án Dufaure 5. kormányában a külügyminiszter lett. 1878-ban a francia küldöttséget vezette a Berlini kongresszuson.

1879. február 4-én  Jules Grévy miniszterelnökké nevezte ki, de megtartotta a külügyi tárcát is. Miniszterelnökként sikerült egyensúlyt tartania a konzervatív szenátus és a republikánus nemzetgyűlés között. Közel egy évig tartó kormányzása pozitív eredményeket hozott: a párizsi kommün felkelői részleges amnesztiát kaptak, a Marseillaise hivatalosan is nemzeti himnusz lett, a nemzetgyűlés visszatért Versailles-ból Párizsba, megindult a vasúthálózat fejlesztése, döntés született arról, hogy minden megyében tanítóképzőt létesítenek, kiegyensúlyozott költségvetést szavaztak meg. Kormányában öt protestáns miniszter foglalt helyet. Néhány olyan intézkedést, mint a vasárnapi munka betiltásának eltörlését a jobboldal a római katolikus egyház elleni támadásnak vette, ezért Waddington 1879. december 28-án lemondott.

1883-ban ő képviselte hazáját III. Sándor orosz cár koronázási ünnepségén. Júliusban nagykövetként küldték az Egyesült Királyságba. Gazdag angol család sarjaként könnyen megnyíltak előtte a kapuk, a kormányhivatalnokok között viszontlátta egykori cambridge-i diáktársait. Szolgálai ideje alatt súrlódásmentesek voltak az angol–francia kapcsolatok.

Bypass fraud is the most damaging and costly type of fraud and particularly affects countries where the costs of terminating international calls are very high.
Also known as 'landing fraud' or 'grey routing', this fraud is carried out through manipulating call records to be recognized as local calls. This fraud type exploits immobile to mobile and landline gateway equipment to hijack inbound international calls while transferring them through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to the mobile network.
RAID is a pre-packaged solution that allows CSPs to evaluate their network traffic and detect fraudulent behaviors and deviations of subscriber usage.
The solution makes use of a complex rule library combined with machine learning techniques on top of a wide range of data such as CDR information, signaling (SS7 and Diameter) as well test call generator (TCG) analysis to detect bypass fraud.
Making calls requires as many security measures as any web-based software. Although the price of long-distance service through a VoIP provider is significantly cheaper than through PTSN, the cost of added up minutes can cause some damage, especially if they are from fraudulent calls.
WeDo Technologies has developed a solution to detect fraud on VoIP networks, which include smart monitoring features that sense when there is an unusual spike in call traffic from a specific destination. When a suspicious spike occurs, RAID simply and automatically puts a temporary alert on the route, ensuring that fraud losses are keep to an absolute minimum without interrupting legitimate calls.
Despite not working as a silver bullet for byapss fraud detection, TCG data is still a relevant data source element, it delivers unique insights on end-to-end interconnection routes by comparing the incoming calling line identity (CLI) phone number with the known originated phone number.
By combining test call generator (TCG) and signaling information, RAID delivers extra advanced layers of protection against bypass fraud. Working together with advanced data analytics, sophisticated pattern matching, and machine learning algorithms, our FMS delivers a fast and reliable multi-layered solution bypass fraud. .
Are you affected by Mobile Terminations Rates Arbitrage and CLI Spoofing?
Mobile network operators are now able to apply higher termination rates to non-EU incoming traffic. In these situations and when there is a considerable gap between the termination rates, the risk of exposure to Mobile Termination Rate (MTR) Arbitrage is very high and can cause a significant impact to your network.
In order to terminate the calls at lower costs, some carriers that are intende to pay high MTR recreate the traffic in order to pay lower MTR.
RAID provides you with a detailed information of how traffic originating from risky countries, suspicious ranges of numbers and unusual high or continuous low volumes in your network.
RAID provides the tools to detect data charging bypass and eliminates the stream of prepaid customer traffic to proceed without checking the balance, time/volume limits or deduction of funds by redirecting traffic through zero-rated websites such as customer care portals or promotional free services such as social networks traffic.
RAID Bypass Fraud ensures that all user data traffic that is not explicitly intended to be free under agreed operator policy is being measured, classified and stopped in real-time whenever fraud patterns are detected.
In many countries, where international bypass fraud is an issue, the negative effect of it can be negative impacts on financial and customer experience, as well as a decrease in governmental tax revenues arriving from international voice traffic dropping. Specifically for telecom regulators of all over the world, WeDo has developed a solution that is currently in place in operators within the Middle East and Africa that can be set by a country's regulator itself, or by individual (or groups of) operators (unregulated). This solution not only eliminates fraud and preserves the privacy and quality of service, for both operators and subscribers, but it also brings back the revenue from international call termination to which operators and government regulators are entitled.
Formed from the merger of TelePacific and DSCI, TPx is redefining the way enterprises grow, compete and communicate.
TPx's Unified Communications, Managed IT services, continuity and connectivity solutions all work together to "reach a higher state of connectedness" – with customers, employees, clients, suppliers, locations, applications and more.
When TPx Communications, needed a Fraud Management solution, WeDo delivered.

Q: Can I print a Model diagram at 200% zoom without cutting off in vs 2010? In visual studio 2010, I would like to print a Model diagram (A .edmx file), at 200% zoom.
So I switch to landscape view and up the scale.
Printing goes as planned, except that whatever the zoom made to large gets cut off and not printed. I would like the excess areas to be spilled off onto additional pages rather than not printed at all.
My Environment: Windows XP SP3, Visual Studio 2010 SP1REL, Printer: Konica Minolta 501
Note: I tried printing to PDF using PDFLite and got the same issue.


Before you argue, let's just get this out of the way right up front. Yes people of younger ages have also stupidly driven their cars straight into buildings. While in the case of young and middle-aged people it's often due to driver distraction, there's never any legitimate excuse. When it's someone elderly, too often it's reported they had no idea how it happened or even what they did. It's the difference between won't and can't. Some won't pay attention, while others, because of the aging process and declining skills, simply can't.
A 78 year-old woman trying to park her car outside a medical practice in Manchester Thursday drove right through the wall of the waiting room and injured three people. She was attempting to park her 2007 Hyundai Sonata when the vehicle lurched over the curb, over the sidewalk and straight through the wall and into the waiting room on the other side. The car hit a 51 year-old woman and another 78 year-old throwing them from their chairs, and the incident also injured a 76 year-old lady. All three had to be taken to the hospital. The damage to the building was enormous. The driver was not hurt.
I don't hate old people. I hope to be one someday. Yet the sad fact is there is an age when you are too young to drive and there is an age when you are too old to drive. This can vary from person to person. A rare elderly person can have their skills and reaction time right up into their late 90's. But let's face it. That's the exception that proves the rule. You can be a young 90 or an old 70, so no one should suggest a mandatory retirement age for driving like they do for commercial airline pilots. However the problem of elderly drivers in New Jersey demands action by the legislature and a re-testing policy. At some point we need to stop blindly renewing licenses to people who no longer have the reaction time, spatial awareness and mental acuity needed for the task of driving. Agree or disagree? Take our poll below.

It's hard to believe that our little Kieran is no longer little any more and has now finally reached double figures. Yep, 10 years ago today at exactly 5:13am, he entered the world (or should I say yanked and pulled!), weighing in at a healthy 8lb 4 1/2 oz.
Watching him grow in to the young man that he is today has been one of the most wonderful life experiences I have ever had. Both Michelle and I could not have asked for a more wonderful, caring, loving, and good looking son!
The past day or so I've been reminiscing and remembering some of the wonderful times I've shared with my boy but at the same time feeling a little sad that for the past few years I really feel like I have let my work and other things get in the way of our 'play time'. I really need that to change.
Anyway, enough of that... Enjoy a small selection of pictures of Kieran from the day we first saw him during a scan at the hospital, his birth, and then up to yesterday during his 10th Birthday Party. These are random pictures - I couldn't pick my favourite ones from a collection of over 43,000 photographs!!!!

Iiro Rantala
Iiro Rantala (42), the action-packed and versatile master of piano music, became a solo artist when Trio Töykeät disbanded in 2006 after having played 2000 shows in 40 different countries during 18 years. The transition was easier for Rantala because he's also a fully trained, highly respected and regularly performing concert pianist. He has always been breaking borders within his other projects in television, radio, film & children's music emphasizing the quality of music and not forgetting humor.
He's solo album "Lost Heroes" (ACT 2011) won the prestigious ECHO award in Germany, and Rantala was awarded another ECHO this year in the best international jazz pianist category. The awards are granted every year by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie, an association of record companies. An ECHO is well respected in Europe.
Kansi Auki Piano Festival, which started in November 2011 at Kapsäkki Music Theatre in Helsinki, is a first in Pori and this format is breaking new ground at the magnificent Pori Theatre along with the splendor of "Lost Heroes" content, interactivity and humor. Rantala's brand new biography "I guess I can spill the beans by now" (a very free translation) is a must for all music lovers.

Q: Space key resets the game i wanted to make a game and followed a tutorial to make a Tetris game, while playing it i noticed that when you press the space button the whole game resets, i cant figure out how to fix that. My harddrop function works when i press space so that works but then the game resets to. As far as i know there should be no other function set to the spacebar (keyCode === 32)
If i remove the harddrop function the game still restarts if i press space
this is my code:

const Tetris = () => {
  const [dropTime, setDropTime] = useState(null);
  const [gameOver, setGameOver] = useState(false);

  const [player, updatePlayerPos, resetPlayer, playerRotate] = usePlayer();
  const [stage, setStage, rowsCleared] = useStage(player, resetPlayer);

    rowsCleared

      updatePlayerPos({ x: dir, y: 0 });
    }
  };

  const keyUp = ({ keyCode }) => {
    if (!gameOver) {
      // Activate the interval again when user releases down arrow.
      if (keyCode === 40) {
        setDropTime(1000 / (level + 1));
      }
    }
  };

  const startGame = () => {
    // Reset everything
    setStage(createStage());
    setDropTime(1000);
    resetPlayer();
    setScore(0);
    setLevel(0);
    setRows(0);
    setGameOver(false);
  };

    // Increase level when player has cleared 10 rows
    if (rows > (level + 1) * 10) {
      setLevel(prev => prev + 1);
      // Also increase speed
      setDropTime(1000 / (level + 1) + 200);
    }

The name Harley-Davidson (HOG) doesn't necessarily call to mind quiet efficiency, but a planned rollout of an electric motorcycle is generating a lot of buzz for the Milwaukee-based company.
Bloomberg News highlighted the introductory plugin hogs in an article on Thursday morning, and interest in them quickly swamped the Harley-Davidson website for the electric endeavor known as Project LiveWire.

The True Cost of War
By Ryan Lau | MIDDLE EAST
After the absolute strategic mishap that was the military's decision to shoot down a Syrian plane in Syrian airspace, tensions are once again rising between the United States and Russia. This is not remotely surprising, given Vladimir Putin's close ties with Bashar Al-Assad of Syria, but rather it is deeply saddening and disturbing, as it brings the two superpowers one step closer to war. After the incident, Russia responded with a reminder to the United States that any planes over the western half of Syria would be considered "air targets" to them, essentially placing a no-fly zone. These no-fly zones seldom are successful, as seen by implementation in Bosnia and Iraq. More often, they result in the absolute tragedy that is war. We as a free society must reject these anti-diplomatic measures in order to avoid the mass slaughter that is war.
The fact of the matter is, half of all war casualties consist of innocent civilians caught in the battle. The other half consists of soldiers who are often naive to the drastic consequences of war, and many who are unaware of the ulterior motives behind the fighting. Two men will fight valiantly against each other, each imagining themselves on some sort of moral high ground, fighting because of the emblem on the other's shirt. Two people, once separated by geographic location, shedding blood for an unimportant cause, enacted by merciless superiors.
Many may say that these young men and women are exercising their patriotic and civic duty, pledging to make the ultimate sacrifice out of selflessness. But more times than not, these same soldiers do not even know why their rulers have chosen to send them into battle. Even when enlightened, it is darkly laughable that one can consider a pledge to kill to be an act of selflessness. These innocent soldiers die at the mercy of other young people, often from the same generation, often from similar backgrounds, often with families and friends and lives similar to their own. Innocent people are transformed into murderers, killing only because somebody somewhere signed some paper with someone else. Blind patriotism and faith in these arbitrary papers lead to servicemen being murdered and committing acts of murder, acts that could have been avoided, had our society rejected violence as a means long ago.
Soldiers in war go through physical and mental struggles that make it exceedingly difficult to live after they are out of combat, that is, if they make it that far. The real cost of war is not measured in dollars spent on weapons and supplies, but in the human lives wasted in seemingly endless bloodshed. Families tear apart, and mothers often don't know when their children will return– or if they will return at all. If they do return, soldiers often have extreme emotional problems resulting from the killing they have completed, and from the often gruesome deaths of comrades they witnessed. War may bring soldiers closer together, but this is of no benefit unless all of one's comrades make it through the war alive. There is a severe human cost of war, the toll on soldiers, the lives of family members, the bonds between mothers and sons, of grandmothers and grandchildren, of sisters and brothers, of comrades.
Unfortunately, the cost of war doesn't end with the last shot. The last shot of one war turns into the first shot of the next war, as the continuous cycle of bloody battles continues. Since 1914, there has not been a period of peace longer than twenty-five years. When a war occurs, the lives of innocent civilians are destroyed, and civilians who are not killed often have family members and loved ones torn away from them. The civilians who survive a war often grow to hate those who have killed their loved ones, and another war commences.
War is a cycle of hatred that will continue unless someone has the courage to end it, and our current foreign relations show no sign of approaching this courage.

Watch the trailer for RED DOG, releasing on demand January 7
After a successful premiere at SXSW, "RED DOG" will be releasing on demand, January 7.
Award-winning songwriter Luke Dick spent his childhood in a strip club.
The documentary tells the untold story of the infamous topless bar, Red Dog in Oklahoma City during the oil boom.
During the 1970s oil boom, the Red Dog was the rowdiest and most popular strip club in Oklahoma City, and for five years it was the only home and family Luke and his mom had.
She was a teenage runaway, dope-addicted single mother, stripping with a fake I.D., and he grew up amidst the drugs, the danger, and the never-ending party.
Now 30 years later, Luke has a toddler and a newborn of his own.
As he began asking his mom questions about his own childhood- and what she was thinking letting a kid run around in that place- she turns out to be more hilariously frank than he ever imagined.
So he traveled back to OKC to find these people he thought of as uncles and aunts, cousins and dads, to see who made it out and who never did, and try to figure out how they somehow made a family out of all that madness.
"RED DOG" was directed by singer-songwriter, Luke Dick and Casey Pinkston.
Available On VOD, Digital HD On January 7
