Ontario Power Generation plans to bury and abandon radioactive nuclear waste 400 metres below the bottom level of Lake Huron. Scientists cannot guarantee tat this nuclear waste dump will not leak. The Great Lakes provide fresh drinking water for 40 million people in two countries. Why would we bury radioactive nuclear waste beside this precious resource? Ontario Power Generation, the applicant, states this underground dump “is not likely to result in any significant residual adverse effects to human health or the environment, including Lake Huron and the Great Lakes.” Is “not likely” good enough?

Lots of American industrialists have skeletons in the family closet. Charles and David Koch, however, are in a league of their own. The father of these famous rightwing billionaires was Fred Koch, who started his fortune with $500,000 received from Stalin for his assistance constructing 15 oil refineries in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. A couple of years later, his company, Winkler-Koch, helped the Nazis complete their third-largest oil refinery.

A change in law in Goa, allowing farmers to fell old coconut trees which threaten homes and cultivated areas, has kicked off a storm with voices for and against the tree’s reclassification from protected to nonprotected status. In the winter session of the state Assembly, the BJP-led government of Laxmikant Parsekar ensured the passage of The Goa Preservation of Trees (Amendment) Bill which relocated the coconut tree from Section 1 (a) to Section 12 (a) of the The Goa, Daman and Diu Preservation of Trees Act. The law came into effect last Friday. Activists and Opposition parties are alleging that the government effected the change in law because it is “only interested in facilitating big projects by massacring coconut trees in large numbers”. Moving belongs to essentials of all life: life is movement, action and activity.

Movement is change, and only change is continual. Emotions and affects move us. Moving can be an important content of life for many through performing arts, sports or pilgrimage, for example.

Movement, human interaction and the traffic of materials, goods and ideas establish the foundations for development of culture and society. Whole cultures may be founded on the idea of movement and travel. Multiple mobilities characterize the global situation in the 2010s. Social change frequently assumes the form of social movements, yet the freedom of movement is unevenly distributed in the world.

The necessity to escape conflicts, disasters, ethnic, gender or other forms of discrimination, and harsh living conditions cause migration and diaspora - and also immeasurable personal and social problems, and despair.

The global economy and international politics presume freedom of movement, but they also create international crime, human trafficking and forced transfers of populations. Tourism appears as the privilege of movement for people in rich countries, and for destination areas tourism is lucrative business. California state officials will look into whether or not Exxon Mobil Corp. repeatedly lied to the public about what it knew about global warming and what it told investors.

California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris says she will investigate whether the dishonesty amounts to securities fraud or the violation of environmental law. The U.S. citizens kidnapped by gunmen in Baghdad last week are being held by an Iranian-backed militia, Iraqi and U.S. officials said late Tuesday. The men are the first Americans abducted in Iraq since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011. ‘They were abducted because they are Americans, not for personal or financial reasons,’ Iraqi sources in Baghdad told Reuters reporters. The men were at the home of a transla-

tor when they were taken. U.S. officials said Tehran is not believed to be behind the disappearance. An onslaught of background checks for new gun buyers has forced the FBI to halt the processing of appeals from those whose attempts have been denied. ‘The last several months, we’ve kind of found ourselves in a perfect storm,’’ FBI Assistant Director Stephen Morris said. A record 3.3 million firearm sales were processed in December. According to FBI records, the number of background checks has risen in each of the last six months.

Wa l ma r t is a company that, time and again, will say one thing and then do the opposite. Public relations matters more to them than their customers, the community, or their employees. While it pretends to value its employees, the reality is, for Walmart, its workers are disposable. Sadly, these latest store closings could very well be just the beginning. This sends a chilling message to the company’s hard-working employees that they could be next - and with no one standing up for them, that is no doubt the reality.

A Delta team began operations.

When global security heard that members of the Occupy movement might join the protests at corporate headquarters, they began working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces. The documents from the NLRB hearing don’t provide any details about the collaboration or indicate whether it was unusual for Walmart to bring in the FBI. The bureau had worked with local police forces across the country as they dealt with Occupy protesters. 1.

A major snowstorm will hit areas from Philadelphia to Boston with heavy snow and wind and could immobilize areas from near Washington, D.C., to the southern Appalachians with blizzard conditions by the weekend. The storm will bring significant snow to more than 50 million people and could bring travel to a standstill in part of the midAtlantic states. As the storm strengthens, winds will increase as snowfall rates ramp up. An all-out blizzard will unfold in some areas.

Whiteout conditions will occur in several states. The storm is likely to shut down some highways and could cause some airports to close.

Wages pivoted on perceived racial identity in other service jobs as well. Those who were light skinned and could pass as ‘white’ more easily secured employment or higher pay. Beyond the workplace, landlords frequently discriminated against Puerto Ricans, refusing to rent to them if their skin was too dark; teachers often treated migrant children with disdain as well. In other words, open-border migrants did not escape the United States’ racial hierarchies. Yet if the case of Puerto Rican migrant workers reveals how they were racialized as ‘foreigners’ on the mainland, despite their citizenship status, the presence of Mexican workers, both temporary contract laborers and the undocumented, also had an impact on Puerto Rican wages. As scholars have noted, the contemporaneous Bracero Program contributed to increased rates of undocumented Mexican mi-

gration and effectively lowered wages for other domestic farmworkers throughout the United States because of the availability of lower-wage surplus labor. In many cases, employers preferred to hire the more tractable braceros, who were required by their contracts to (1) accept lower wages than those paid U.S. workers, (2) fulfill the terms of their employment or face deportation, and (3) return to Mexico after six months. Undocumented workers proved even more desirable, since they generally accepted still lower wages and could be disciplined by the threat of deportation at any moment. Although Puerto Ricans were not subject to immigration laws, they were sometimes confused with Mexican immigrants and threatened with deportation when they complained about work conditions or simply refused to work. The iconic Martin Luther King Jr. whom we are encouraged to celebrate - who singlehandedly ended Jim Crow with one epic, color-blind speech bears little resemblance to the radical, imperfect man who was jailed dozens of time for his organizing within the Black freedom movement. His legacy has largely been isolated, sanitized, repackaged and labeled divine: a convenient status that encourages passive messiah worshipping over grassroots community organizing.

This is no accident.Increasingly, there arecalls to “Reclaim King” as a radical. It is true that his assertion of Black peoples’ right to life, dignity andreparationswas revolutionary. He recognized the connections between racism, war and poverty, demanding an end to the Vietnam Waron both moral and economic grounds (he highlighted the mass expense of war at a time of state disinvestment from Black communities). His encouragement for a “fear and distrust of the white man’s justice” challenged a central pillar of US democracy. Hevisited the anti-colonial strugglestaking place in the global South. And at the end of his life, he called for a redistribution of wealth and restructuring of our political economy through his Poor People’s Campaign, saying “an edifice that produces beggars needs restructuring.” From: Dave Time: 05:56 PM Good afternoon Lee. I am still a WWP novice but the “Blue Water” hull you refer to, I bleev, refers to their package of upgrades when you buy a new one from the dealer. The International Marine/West Wight Potter website describes the items that are included in the Blue Water package. Monitoring of wild populations is central to species conservation and can pose a number of challenges. To identify trends in populations of parrots, monitoring programmes that explicitly take detectability into account are needed. We assessed an occupancy model that explicitly accounted for detectability as a tool for monitoring the large macaws of Bolivia’s Beni savannahs: the blue-throated *Ara glaucogularis*, blue-and-yellow *Ara araraun a a n d red-and-g reen macaws *Ara chloropterus*. We also evaluated the joint presence of the three macaw species and estimated their abundance in occupied areas. We modelled occupancy and detection for the three macaw species by combining several site and visit covariates and we described their conditional occupancy. Macaws occupied two thirds of the surveyed area and at least two species occurred together in one third of this area. Probability of detection was 0.48~@~S0.86. For each macaw species, occupancy was affected by the abundance of the other

two species, the richness of cavity-nesting species, and the distance to the nearest village. We identified key priority areas for the conservation of these macaws. The flexibility of occupancy methods provides an efficient tool for monitoring macaw occupancy at the landscape level, facilitating prediction of the range of macaw species at a large number of sites, with relatively little effort. This technique could be used in other regions in which the monitoring of threatened parrot populations requires innovative approaches. Reproduction requires resources that cannot be allocated to other functions resulting in direct reproductive costs (i.e. trade-offs between current reproduction and subsequent survival/reproduction). In wild vertebrates, direct reproductive costs have been widely described in females, but their occurrence in males remains to be explored. To fill this gap, we gathered 53 studies on 48 species testing direct reproductive costs in male vertebrates. We found a tradeoff between current reproduction and subsequent performances in 29% of the species and in every clade. As 73% of the studied species are birds, we focused on that clade to investigate whether such trade-offs are associated with (i) levels of paternal care, (ii) polygyny or (iii) pace of life. More precisely for this third question, it is expected that fast species (i.e. short lifespan, early maturity, high fecundity) pay a cost in terms of survival, whereas slow species (with opposite characteristics) do so in terms of fecundity. Our findings tend to support this hypothesis. Finally, we pointed out the potential confounding effects that should be accounted for when investigating reproductive costs in males and strongly encourage the investigation of such costs in more clades to understand to what extent our results are relevant for other vertebrates. Migration is a common strategy used by birds that breed in seasonal environments. Selection for greater migration efficiency is likely to be stronger for terrestrial species whose migration strategies require nonstop transoceanic crossings. If multiple species use the same transoceanic flyway, then we expect the migration strategies of these species to converge geographically towards the most optimal solution. We test this by examining population-level migration trajectories within the We s t e r n He m i s phe r e for 118 migratory species using occurrence information from eBird.

Geographical convergence of migration strategies was evident within specific terrestrial regions where geomorphological features such as mountains or isthmuses constrained overland migration. Convergence was also evident for transoceanic migrants that crossed the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean. Here, annual population-level movements were characterized by clockwise looped trajectories, which resulted in faster but more circuitous journeys in the spring and more direct journeys in the autumn. These findings suggest that the unique constraints and requirements associated with transoceanic migration have promoted the spatial convergence of migration strategies. The combination of seasonal atmospheric and environmental conditions that has facilitated the use of similar broad-scale migration strategies may be especially prone to disruption under climate and land-use change. Lekking is a rare, but iconic mating system where polygynous males aggregate and perform group displays to attract females.

Existing theory postulates that demographic and environmental stability are required for lekking to be an evolutionarily viable reproductive strategy.

However, we lack empirical tests for the hypotheses that lek stability is facilitated by age-specific variation in demographic rates, and by predictable, abundant resources. To address this knowledge gap, we use multistate models to examine how two demographic elements of lek stability - Tmale survival and recruitment - Tvary with age, social status and phase of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a Neotropical frugivorous bird, the wire-tailed manakin (*Pipra filicauda*)*. Our results show that demographic and environmental conditions were related to lek stability in the Ecuadorean Amazon. Apparent annual survival probability of territorial males was higher than that of nonterritorial floaters, and recruitment probability increased as males progressed in an age-graded queue. Moreover, annual survival of territorial males and body condition of both floaters and territory holders were higher following years with El Nino conditions, associated with

reduced rainfall and probably higher fruit production in the northern Neotropics, and lower after years with wet, La Nia conditions that predominated our study. Recruitment probabilities varied annually, independent of ENSO phase, and increased over our study period, but the annual mean number of territorial males per lek declined.

Our results provide empirical support for hypothesized demographic and environmental drivers of lek dynamics. This study also suggests that climate-mediated changes in resource availability can affect demography and subsequent lek stability in a relatively buffered, lowland rainforest.

Southern populations of Red Knots *Ca lidris canutus r u fa have suffered a dra matic decline since the year 2000.

Although knots are one of the best known shorebird species in the Western Hemisphere, little is known about them in Uruguay. However, in 2007 the discovery of at least 312 dead knots at La Coronilla on the northern Atlantic coast of Uruguay attracted international attention to this part of the flyway.

Here we present historical information gathered from museum collections, local ornithologists and literature to identify highpriority sites, as well as abundance and dates of occurrence of Red Knots along the Uruguayan coast. Information is also presented regarding the mortality event in 2007. To establish the current role of Uruguay in the Red Knot flyway, we also investigated phenology, minimum length of stay, connectivity with nearby Argentinian and Brazilian sites, and habitat use at a main Uruguayan site during northward migration from 2009 to 2011 and in the austral summer in 2007. We identified 96 historical records from 10 localities where Red Knots were detected at least once in the period 1951-2008.

The number of birds per record ranged from 1 to >2,000, but most observations (ca.

80%)ranged from a few to 100 birds. The sites with more records of Red Knots and the highest counts were relatively flat sandy beaches of the dissipative morphodynamic type, which have a higher abundance of potential prey for Red Knots (especially Wedge Clams *Donax hanleyanus*), for instance Barra del Chuy beach, near the Brazilian border. Most historical observations occurred during northward migration in late austral summer and fall.

The maximum count at Barra del Chuy was 1,191 birds in April 2010. However, very few birds were recorded in

2011. Median minimum length of stay of individually colormarked birds that were seen on at least two days was estimated as 5 days (range: 2-26 days).

Several individual birds were observed on both sides of the Brazil-Uruguay border, suggesting that Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and Barra del Chuy (Uruguay) should be treated as a single staging area. Resightings of Red Knots banded at Ro Grande (Tierra del Fuego non-breeding site) and San Antonio Oeste (a Patagonian stopover area) in Barra del Chuy, suggest that Rio Grande do Sul-Barra del Chuy and San Antonio Oeste function as independent moulting and fuelling areas for Red Knots en route north from Tierra del Fuego. Potential threats to the species in Uruguay are related to artificial freshwater dis-

charge from rice fields negatively affecting Wedge Clams and other macrofauna, harmful algal blooms, and possible wind turbine establishment close to the coastline. Mass-mortality events were not recorded during the study period, and the cause of the mortality event that occurred in 2007 could not be determined.

This year marks two hundred years since the British government (re)introduced the gold sovereign as part of an attempt to stabilize currency following the Napoleonic Wars. One hundred years later, during World War I, the coin was abolished and in 1931 the gold standard was ultimately abandoned - like the reintroduction of the gold sovereign, both decisions were attempts to stabilize value amid economic crisis. All three crises were moments when the international economic context influenced monetary policy.

Tomorrow marks seven years since President Obama signed an Executive Order to close Guantanamo Bay. Nearly 100 men are still being held there without charge or trial, while US government lawyers are fighting the release of video footage showing hunger striking detainees being force-fed. On January 22nd 2009 when signing the order, President Obama said that he was issuing the order

to “restore the standards of due process and the core constitutional values that have made this country great even in the midst of war, even in dealing with terrorism.” 14 years since the first detainees were sent to the prison, and seven years after President Obama signed the Executive Order to close it, 100 men are still detained. President Obama’s staff are expected to deliver a plan to shutter the prison in the coming weeks, which could involve moving men to prisons on US soil.

In Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason, human knowledge appears as the end result of a plurality of cognitive activities. Perception, synthesis, intuition, thought, and judgment are only some of the cognitive activities involved in human knowledge. In contemporary epistemology, such cognitive activities have often been understood as involving normative aspects, the spontaneous activity of conscious cognitive subjects and the active following of rules.

However, as a reading of Kant, such a thesis is rather controversial: it is unclear whether and how a normative understanding of the various cognitive activities can be reconciled with the role of psychological deterministic processes in the genesis of human cognition.

What is then the place of rule following in Kant’s overall picture? How are the normative aspects of the rule-governed activities of the different cognitive faculties to be specified? What are the law-giving grounds of the epistemic norms?

Cheap fuel should be a tonic to the world economy. Instead it is a source of anxiety.

Prosecutors argued that Holtzclaw specifically targeted black women with criminal histories and used his position of authority to sexually assault them.

While the ex-officer famously cried following his initial conviction last year, he reportedly remained silent following his sentencing. I think calling it climate change is rather limiting. I would rather call it the everything change because when people think climate change, they think maybe it’s going to rain more or something like that. It’s much more extensive a change than that because when you change patterns of where it rains and how much and where it doesn’t rain, you’re also affecting just about everything.

Music provides an escape from the pain of war, the injustice of occupation, and the isolation from living under the siege imposed by Israel, after Hamas wrested control of the coastal enclave. Vermont is an odd little place. It is 49th of fifty states with just 626,000 people, the vast majority of whom live in small farming towns dotted around the Green Mountains that run like a spine up its length. Vermonters are characterized by a proud sense of self-reliance mixed with a stubbornly independent and occa siona lly revolutionary streak.

The state was founded by a breakaway militia during the Revolutionary War. It would later become the first state to abolish slavery and play a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, hiding escaped slaves in its sinuous terrain and shepherding them across its northern border to Canada. Growing up I would hear these stories told as proof that Vermonters are engaged citizens who don’t take kindly to injustice or political doublespeak. China’s Food and Drug Administration says it found opium poppies used as illegal seasoning in 35 restaurants across the country, including a popular Beijing hot pot chain.

Five restaurants are being prosecuted while 30 others, ranging from Shanghai dumpling joints to noodle shops in southwestern Chongqing, are under investigation. Cases of cooks sprinkling ground poppy powder, which contains low amounts of opiates like morphine and codeine, in soup and seafood are not new in China, though it is unclear whether they can hook a customer or deliver a noticeable buzz. Shaanxi Province police busted a noodle seller in 2014 after being tipped off by a failed drug test.

Daniel Holtzclaw, the ex-Oklahoma City officer convicted of rape and other charges after he preyed on African-American women over six months, was sentenced Thursday to 263 years in prison, as recommended by the jury, according to his attorney.

The sentence comes just over a month after a sobbing Holtzclaw was convicted on 18 of 36 counts, including four counts of first-degree rape and four counts of forced oral sodomy. Prosecutors said Holtzclaw selected victims in one of Ok la homa City’s poorest neighborh o o d s based on t h e i r criminal histories, assuming their drug or prostitution rec o r d s would undermine any claims they might make against him. Then, he would subject them to assaults that escalated from groping to oral sodomy and rape, according to the testimony of 13 victims. Holtzclaw, whose father is a police lieutenant on another force, waived his right to testify.

Two of those women shared their stories with CNN on Wednesday, recounting horrific memories of being forced to perform sexual acts by a serial rapist with a badge who was supposed to protect and serve.

Jury wants 263 years Because the victims are black, race has been regularly invoked in the case. His trial began in November and was criticized by activists after an all-white jury was chosen. Protesters repeatedly gathered outside. Holtzclaw, whose father is white and mother is Japanese, is identified as “Asian or Pacific Islander” by court records.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, who represented the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, has criticized the media, asking, “Where is the national outcry for their justice?”

Crump praised the sentence Thursday saying it was “a landmark victory.”

“All the women were victims, from the 17-year old teenager to the 57year old grandmother. This is a statement for 400 years of racism, oppression and sexual assault of black women; a statement of victory not only for the ‘OKC 13,’ but for so many unknown women,” Crump said in a statement.

The Summer University seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in

the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives, to name only some of the most important areas. The Summer University aims at integrating these activities into the broader context of the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. A single astroid contains the wealth in heavy metals equivalent to the wealth produced by mankind thru its entire history. Since it will take a while for the resources of thousands of worlds in the astroid belt to become a limit and since technology is constantly opening up new resources, the amount of resources doesn?t place any obvious limit. Applying circular economy principles to

global plastic packaging flows could transform the plastics economy and drastically reduce negative externalities such as leakage into oceans, according to the latest report by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation, with analytical support from McKinsey & Company.

The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the future of plastics provides for the first time a vision of a global economy in which plastics never become waste, and outlines concrete steps towards achieving the systemic shift needed. My grandparents came here from Japan at the beginning of the 20th century. Although it would be a one-way trip, the perilous journey across the Pacific was worth the risk. They left behind extreme poverty for a wealth of opportunity.

But Canada was different then, a racist country built on policies of colonization, assimilation and extermination of the land’s original peoples. My grandparents and Canadianborn parents, like indigenous people and others of “ c o l o u r ”, cou ldn’t vote, buy property in many places or enter most professions. During the Second World War, my parents, sisters and I were deprived of rights and property and incarcerated in the B.C. Interior, even though Canada was the only home we’d ever known. A lot has changed since my grandparents arrived, and since I was born in 1936.

Women were not considered “persons” with full democratic rights until 1929. People of African or Asian descent, including those born and raised here, couldn’t vote until 1948, and indigenous people didn’t get to vote until 1960. Homosexuality was illegal until 1969! In 1960, John Diefenbaker’s Progressive Conservative government enacted Canada’s Bill of Rights, and in 1982, Pierre Trudeau’s Liberals brought us the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, with equality rights strengthened in 1985. We should celebrate those hard-won rights. I’m happy to have witnessed much of the progress my country has made. But there’s room for improvement.

And in some ways Canada has gone backward. When I was a boy, we drank water from lakes and streams without a thought. I never imagined that one day we would buy water in bottles for more than we pay for gasoline.

Canada has more fresh water per capita than any na-

tion, but many indigenous communities don’t have access to clean drinking water. When I was growing up in Vancouver, Dad would take me fishing for halibut off Spanish Banks, sturgeon on the Fraser River and salmon in English Bay. Today I can’t take my grandchildren fishing in those places because the fish are gone. As a boy, I never heard of asthma. Today, childhood asthma is as common as red hair. And half of all Canadians live in places with unacceptable air pollution. I also remember when all food was organic. I never thought we’d have to pay more not to have chemicals in our food.

Today we can’t avoid the toxic consequences of our industrial and agricultural activities. We all have dozens of toxic pollutants incorporated into our bodies. We may think the highest rate of deforestation is in the Amazon but in 2014 Canada became the world leader in loss of pristine forests. Surely, in a nation with so much natural wealth, we should expect better appreciation, treatment and protection of the air, water, soil and rich biological diversity that our health, prosperity and happiness depend on. The right to live in a healthy environment is recognized by more than 110 nations - but not Canada. That the value of a brand so ubiquitous that it straddles both theinand outside of society is kept off its books is one of the wonders of the accounting world. Yet when Coke and other large multinationals are allowed to withhold, or hold in secrecy, the value of core business intangibles while charging confidential expenses against these assets, it not only distorts the market but also facilitates gross transfer pricing manipulation and drastically undermines taxes owed to governments. Transportation Security Administration screeners found a record number of firearms in carry-on luggage in 2015. Of the 2,653 guns discovered, the agency says 83 percent were loaded. The total number was up 20 percent from 2014. In all, guns were discovered in carry-ons at a total of 236 airports; of those, the most weapons were found at Dallas/ Fort Worth International, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, and Houston’s George H.W. Bush Intercontinental. The TSA said the uptick could be the result of both better search techniques and an increase in the number of travelers. After five days of searching,

the Marine Corps announced late Thursday that 12 missing crew members who were in two helicopters that collided off Hawaii are considered dead. Officials began looking for survivors one week ago when a bystander on a beach reported seeing the pair of helicopters turn into a fireball. The Marines, who ranged in age from 21 to 41 and were all male, were on a nighttime training mission when their choppers apparently crashed into each other.

Hello to all, I will try to make it short: I’m a kid of this organisation, my parents got in it in the end of the 70’s. I was born in the sect in 1980, didn’t knew the real outside world until 1996 or even later in 2003. i managed to get out around 2010. I knew many of you in this list in 2011 thanks to 15M, Occupy etc.. since 2014-2015 I launched a internal inquiry on all the grave abuses, sexual abuses on girls (year 86-2004) & physical punishments of dozens of boys (year 79-2000) I decided to go public when I understood that all my generation of kids where not In the trial that was going to start on the 4th of January of 2016. Since then I managed to bring dozens of victims to the trial and we’re completely disrupting the sect, while creating the opportunity to dissociate the community of people from the sect elite & Robert Spatz close officers. Four of the newly released guerrillas will also continue onto Havana, Cuba to add their two cents to the ongoing peace talks. The Colombian government released 17 members of the FARC guerrillas Wednesday night, almost two months after the rebels were granted a presidential pardon.

The insurgents are the first group to be released among the 30 Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, members who were pardoned by President Juan Manuel Santos in November. Among this first group of rebels include 10 men from La Picota prison and 7 women from the El Buen Pastor prison, both of which are located in the capital Bogota. The guerrillas were all incarcerated on charges such as rebellion, illegal possession of weapons or private use of official army uniforms. Four of newly released insurgents will continue onto to Havana, Cuba in

the next days to participate in the ongoing peace talks between the FARC and the government. The two sides have just entered the final stretch of their negotiations and have set a March 23 deadline to sign a final peace deal - what many hope will bring the country one step closer to ending over 50 years of civil war. President Santos said pardoning the 30 rebels was a ‘goodwill gesture,’ to show the government’s dedication to the peace negotiations. They were released on condition that they do not return to guerrilla ranks. The FARC has criticized the government for the delayed release of the pardoned insurgents, and demand that the rest oftheir members be released particularly those suffering from serious health issues. According to the FARC, there are some 1,200 insurgents currently serving time in prisons across the country. The Minister of Justice Yesid Reyes assured that the rest of the pardoned detainees will be released by the end of the month. The U.S. Government has moved to suppress footage of a Guantanamo detainee being force-fed, appealing against a US federal judge?s order to release the tapes. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli filed the appeal today, January 21st, just one day before the seven year anniversary of President Obama?s signing of the Executive Order to close Guantanamo. Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the tapes be released in October 2014, after sixteen major US media organizations, including the New York Times, AP, and McClatchy newspapers, asked for the tapes to be made public under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. The tapes show the force-feeding and ;forcible cell extraction’ of Abu Waiel Dhiab, who has since been released. Mr Dhiab is represented by international human rights NGO Reprieve. Reprieve lawyers are virtually the only people outside government to have seen the footage and have described it as ‘disturbing’, but are forbidden under classification rules from revealing its contents.

What can hold things together and forge intersections in universes as different as the ones gathered in these pages, if it is not that they address a few aspects of our common condition that is increasingly shaped by the current path of globalization?

The opening of borders in the contemporary era, inaugurated by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the uniting of the two Germanies - which Wim Wenders portrayed as a sort of re-enchanted day - is still fragile, as we can see in the reactions to today’s wave of migrants flooding into Europe and the recent attacks in Paris. We are forced to admit that internationalization involves, first and foremost, creating the conditions for new markets and new classes of consumers everywhere on Earth. This relative opening of borders also makes us more and more curious about the realities of others and allows us to see the growing convergences that planetary urbanization imposes on our ways of life. On four separate occasions, President Obama swore that he would “faithfully execute the Office of President.” Yesterday, the Supreme Court told him to prove it. As expected, the justices voted to review Texas’s challenge to Obama’s executive action on immigration, known as DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans). Critically, the Court ordered the Obama administration to answer a pivotal question: Whether DAPA “violates the Take Care Clause of the Constitution.” In 225 years, the Supreme Court has never had occasion to ask the president whether he has reneged on his oath to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. However, with pens-andphones replacing checks-and-balances, the Supreme Court is now poised to break new constitutional ground in order to preserve our embattled separation of powers. With this decision, the justices directed the president to justify DAPA and prove that his executive action on immigration is consistent with congressional design, not an effort to rewrite the law. Based on my initial research, this is the first time the Supreme Court has ever asked the president to state this constitutional case. Indeed, I could only locate three instances where the Court ruled against the executive branch, finding that the Take Care Clause limits its authority. (In different contexts, it has been cited to bolster the president’s power.) Yesterday was a difficult day. I called the cardiologist’s office in the morning. Joe’s blood pressure was very low the night before and remained low all day yesterday. He was sleeping nearly the entire day and it was difficult for him to

remain awake for more than a couple of minutes - he even fell asleep with a thermometer in his mouth. And I worried about dehydration. I’d wake him and make him drink Gatorade or apple juice. My concern was palpable, which of course made Joe concerned - not conducive to healing. When things go wrong in political arena and elections are at hand, is but natural to experiment by floating a new political a party,hoping that problems will be addressed satisfactorily. In the beginning the ideology is authentic, the people are genuine, the enthusiasm is real and expectations are pregnant with quick de l i ve r y, but sooner than later it meets the same fate as other faded parties.

So you lost a bunch of Rupees or Dollars or Pounds or Euros in the stock market, huh? I warned to keep some cash on the side, but you didn’t listen. Anyway, if you are like me who has at least 15 years or more before retirement, you should be fine.

Stocks are on sale and now may be a good time to slowly test the waters. Just be warned though, there are plenty of deadly sharks out there and if you are not careful they’ll bite your head off! Anybody who knows basic economics would agree that when the price of a product or a commodity rapidly goes up, rivals are incentivized to create cheaper alternate solutions. In this case, when the price of oil went through the stratosphere, where prices were perennially above $100/ barrel for several years, nobody did anything to bring the prices down to more realistic levels. The end result was that this created a mad rush for the Americans to invent new technologies and processes to drill oil from previously un-economical situations. This is what happens when a bunch of brainless OPEC ministers run the oil business. Now that they are still unable to drive American drillers out of business they are crying foul. But I knew this was coming more than two years ago and made some money off of it (look up my old postings about this). As of yesterday, oil was almost down to my target price of $26/barrelIt is difficult to explain why the prospect of having to cut a mature, bearing coconut tree can make even grown Goans cry. It’s like killing your own child. A coconut tree produces nuts within eight to 10 years, after which, for the rest of its life, it simply gives, gives and gives. When it dies, its trunk is splintered into rafters and used to hold up the roof. The coconut is the princi-

pal ingredient in fish curry and rice, the recipe that has now made it to menus across the world, from Mumbai to Dubai, as ‘Goan curry’. Its leaves are elegantly woven into large partitions for protection during the monsoon and for pandals. From the coconut come a bewildering variety of products: Coconut oil, fibre for ropes, shells for fuel. This is a kalpavriksha, true to type: Nothing is wasted; nothing can be wasted. Everything about the tree demands specialised expertise. Few human beings can climb one. Those who can, do it so effortlessly they get into picture postcards. De-husking the coconut looks a formidable expedition, but all along the coast, housewives can do one-a-minute. Felling a coconut tree needs a pro. It is cut and lowered in sections, but not without

an attendant gaggle of spectators providing continuous gratuitous advice; anyone doing it any other way would almost certainly wreck a couple of houses in the vicinity. Every monsoon, we lose two to three days of power because some old coconut tree has decided to give up the ghost and taken all the overhead electrical wires with it.

No advertisement of the Goa government promoting tourism appears without a coconut tree. The sands of Goa would be unbearable to tread without the thousands of these palms, swaying elegantly in the wind, providing the necessary shade. So what brought on the government’s hostility to this humble tree? What reasonable explanation is there for this perfidy that Goan citizens see as an act of treason? Released after a long and incredibly difficult legal battle, after surviving torture and solitary confinement, Mohammad Aamir Khan remains committed to the secular and democratic values that he grew up with. He refuses to be defeated, or to give up any of the dreams he has for himself, his family and the country that nearly destroyed him. We welcome submissions on any topic within the history of philosophy. We especially encourage papers that problematize, methodologically or in content, the way in which they treat the history of the discipline, addressing questions like: Why do I approach Greek philosophy philologically? Why do I reconstruct and evaluate arguments in medieval philosophy? Why do I think that the modern problem of mind is still relevant today? Why does hermeneutics link philosophy with its own history? Is contemporary philosophy’s aim to solve and/or clarify historical problems, or to create new problems? In the past, the major focus of research defining the brainbehavior relationship was to identify the segregated brain regions recruited by a given task.

More recent developments have emphasized the importance of distributed networks at all levels, from individual neurons to neural populations and brain regions. Defining the human brain connectome has become one of the major goals of neuroscience, as confirmed by the large-scale economical investments on this topic (e.g., NIH-funded Human Connectome Project and the Brain Initiative; The European CONNECT

project and the Human Brain Project; the Asian Brainnetome project). Our current understanding is that the brain architecture has a modular organization in which segregated networks supporting specialized processing are linked through a few longrange connections, ensuring processing integration. Although such architecture is structurally stable, it appears to be flexible in its functioning, enabling long-range connections to regulate the information flow and facilitate communication among the relevant modules, depending on the contingent cognitive demands. In my talk, I will highlight an emerging distinctive approach to study cortical connectivity based on the direct activation of an area by non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS) and the simultaneous evaluation of the distribution of this activity in cortical networks by electrophysiological recordings (EEG).

The TMS-EEG coregistration allows to study cortico-cortical connectivity by measuring the spatio-temporal distribution of cortical currents evoked by the stimulation. By reviewing TMS-EEG studies on network dynamics at rest and during cognition, and comparing them w i t h f M R I b a s e d functional connectomics, I will show h o w T M S EEG data support the general principles of brain architecture inferred from graph theory models and provide further insights into the properties of effective connectivity. Moreover, I will highlight the types of data that can be obtained through TMS-EEG, such as the timing of signal propagation, the excitatory/inhibitory nature of connections and causality. Last, I will discuss recent emerging applications of TMS-EEG in the study of brain disorders. The content on this site is provided as general information only.

Patriotism in its simplest, clearest and most indubitable signification is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the abdication of human dignity, reason, conscience, and a slavish enthralment to those in power. If they talk about dying for principles that are bigger than life you say mister you’re a liar. Nothing is bigger than life. There’s nothing noble in death. What’s noble about lying in the gound and rotting? What’s noble about never seeing the sunshine again? What’s noble about hav- ing your legs and arms blown off? What’s noble about being an idiot?

What’s noble about being blind and deaf and dumb?

What’s noble about being dead? Because when you’re dead mister it’s all over. It’s the end. You’re less than a dog less than a rat less than a bee or an ant less than a maggot crawling around on a dungheap. You’re dead mister and you died for nothing. You’re dead mister.

This secret formula is no real secret - my mentors used it with me as a young man, and I’ve been using it intentionally, both personally and with others, for over 30 years. This process of reflection and renewal is one that I have come to call the Renewal of Creative Path, and this year the positive effects I am seeing have risen to a whole new level. If you are reading this, the chances are you aware of the benefits of connection. Despite this awareness, many of us continue to feel stuck in a life lacking the strong connections we need to live joy-filled, meaningful lives. We imagine regular gatherings with family and friends for food, fun, laughter and moments heart-felt conversation, but maybe we’re lucky to experience this a few times per year. How great would it be to have events like this on a monthly or even weekly basis? We long to have the feeling of safety and support that comes from knowing our community will be there for us when we’re struggling, but so many of us can count on one hand the number of people who we have full confidence would be there for us in our moments of need. I know we all dream of a better life, but what will it take for us to get there from here? Over the past few weeks I have been mentoring several individuals and groups of people in different parts of the world as they worked through the Renewal of Creative Path. I have witnessed again just how powerful this process can be for helping us find our way forward, and I would like to share some of what I’ve seen with you.

and growing gap between rich and poor has been laid bare in a new Oxfam report showing that the 62 richest billionaires own as much wealth as the poorer half of the world’s population. Timed to coincide with this week’s gathering of many of the super-rich at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, the report calls for urgent action to deal with a trend showing that 1% of people own more wealth than the other 99% combined. Oxfam said that the wealth of the poorest 50% dropped by 41% between 2010 and 2015, despite an increase in the global population of 400m. In the same period, the wealth of the richest 62 people increased by $500bn (350bn) to $ 1.76 t n .

The charity said that, in 2010, the 388 richest people owned the same wealth as the poorest 50%. This dropped to 80 in 2014 before falling again in 2015. Mark Goldring, the Oxfam GB chief executive, said: ‘It is simply unacceptable that the poorest half of the world population owns no more than a small group of the global super-rich ‘ so few, you could fit them all on a single coach. ‘World leaders’ concern about the escalating inequality crisis has so far not translated into concrete action to ensure that those at the bottom get their fair share of economic growth. In a world where one in nine people go to bed hungry every night, we cannot afford to carry on giving the richest an ever bigger slice of the cake.’ Leading figures from Pope Francis to Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, have called for action to reverse the trend in inequality, but Oxfam said words had not been translated into action. Its prediction that the richest 1% would own the same wealth as the poorest 50% by 2016 had come true a year earlier than expected.

The World Economic Forum in Davos comes amid fears that the turmoil in financial markets since the turn of the year may herald the start of a new phase to the global crisis that began eight years ago - this time originating in the less-developed emerging countries. Oxfam said a three-pronged approach was needed: a crackdown on tax dodging; higher investment in public services; and higher wages for the low paid. It said a priority should be to close down tax havens, increasingly used by rich individuals and companies to avoid paying tax and which had deprived governments of the resources needed to tackle poverty and inequality.

While I did not know Levins personally, few people have had a greater intellectual and moral influence on me. Levins showed me it was possible to be a serious scientist and a radical - a revelation for a scientifically and mathematically inclined young adult growing up at the ‘end of history.’ He taught me to understand how the prejudices of ‘bourgeois society’ shape our views of science and nature, and gave me the intellectual and moral courage to fight for an emancipatory vision of science. A sharp memory and respect for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms go hand in hand. The Second Amendment, after all, was written by those who had only recently fought their way to independence from a tyrannical monarchy that had ceased to recognize American colonists’ basic hu-

man and legal rights.

Memories of King George III’s abuses of power, and particularly the Redcoats’ attempts to disarm the patriots, were fresh in the drafters’ minds. The idea that a once benign government could descend into despotism was more than just political theory to them; it was their lived experience.

I’m posting a query on behalf of Michelle Dyer, who has been doing her PhD research on gender, development and logging in Kolombangara in western Solomons. Michelle ended up attending quite a lot of meetings in the various villages where she conducted her fieldwork, and enterprisingly generated a lot of great quantitative and qualitative data about what have turned out to be some pretty interesting gendered patterns of relationships among proportional attendance, proportional contribution and meeting topic. E.g. while the average proportion of women attending meetings on all topics was fairly uniformly high, wo m e n’s c ont r i b u tions in meetings v a r i e d strongly depending on topic, indicating strong social norms controlling women’s sense of entitlement to speak about particular issues. 5ive Star Gear Russian-style KGB Spy Bolt Concealment at it’s best!

The traditional Tongan diet is fish, root vegetables and coconuts, as you might expect for a palmfringed island in the middle of the Pacific. But the arrival of fatty turkey tails and mutton flaps has led more people to desert these dietary staples.

One consequence is that life expectancy, which was once in the mid70s, has fallen to 64. “You have a situation where fishermen spear their fish, sell it, and go and buy mutton flaps,” says one resident. “People don’t have the education to know what is bad for their health.” A ban on gay men and women serving in MI5, MI6 or GCHQ was in force as recently as 1991. Fast forward 25 years and MI5 tops Stonewall’s 2016 list of the 400 best places to work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. “Queer men were thought to be untrustworthy because of their queerness,” says one expert. “They were vulnerable to blackmail because the law offered them no protection.” But according to another commentator, the experience of living in the closet may have made some gay people into very good spies: “They could keep secrets, and tell lies.” ELIGIBILITY 1) You must be 18 years of age or older to be eligible to apply. 2) Tile artists must demonstrate their ability to design and successfully install tile paving in a public sidewalk context.

The National Weather Service office in Tampa Bay reported that an EF2 tornado, featuring an estimated peak wind gust of 132 mph, caused damage in the towns of Sarasota and Siesta Key between 3:17 a.m. and 3:22 a.m. A storm survey crew found damage to multiple homes and structures in the tornado’s path, which was 1.14 miles in length. Europe experienced its most disruptive snowfall so far this season when a major winter storm swept through the Bal-

kans last weekend.

Parts of Bulgaria and Romania experienced blizzard conditions, while heavy snow and gusty winds impacted southwestern Ukraine on Sunday. The storm caused significant travel disruptions. The AP reported that Romania’s transportation minister said that 12 major roads were closed on Sunday due to snow and three ports near the Black Sea were shut down because of high winds. According to NASA and NOAA, 2015 was globally the warmest year since records began in 1880. The average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.62 F (0.90 C) above the 20th century average, NOAA said. Surpassing 2014’s record by 0.29 F (0.16 C), this is the largest margin by which the annual global temperature record has been broken. Fifteen of the 16 warmest years have occurred since 2001. For the contiguous United States, 2015 was the second warmest and the third wettest year on record.

Zika virus is spread to pe ople through mosquito bites. The most common symptoms of Zika virus disease are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. In May 2015, the Pan American Health Org anization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first confirmed Zika virus infection in Brazil. The outbreak in Brazil led to reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome and pregnant women giving birth to babies with birth defects and poor pregnancy outcomes. Even if it might be the case that incarceration rates don’t necessarily correlate with corruption, they do necessarily reflect the extent to which a given nation’s government is (by means of its laws and its enforcement of those laws) at war against its own population; and, so, technically speaking, incarceration rates (the percentage of the population who are in prison) are supposed to reflect the prevalence of law-breaking within a given nation. After all, by definition, people are presumed to be in prison for lawbreaking, irrespective of whether the given nation’s laws are just -- and if they’re not just, then this fact reflects even more strongly that the nation itself is corrupt. So, a high incarceration rate does strongly tend to go along

with a nation’s being highly corrupt, in more than merely a technical sense -- it’s almost more like being the definitive measure of “corruption.” So, the correlation between incarceration rates and corruption must be assumed to be high, and any measure of corruption which fails to at least include countries’ incarceration rates should be rejected. Out of the world’s 223 countries, the U.S. has the world’s second-highest incarceration rate: 698 per 100,000, just behind 1 Seychelles, with 799 per 100,000. Seychelles doesn’t even have as many as 100,000 people (but only 90,024 -- as many people as are in the city of Temple, Texas).

By contrast, the U.S. has 322,369,319; so, the U.S. is surely the global leader in imprisonment. And, furthermore, 3, St. Kitts and Nevis, with an incarceration rate of 607 per 100,000, has only 54,961 people (as many people as are in the city of Columbus, Indiana). The only other country that might actually be close to the U.S. in imprisoning its own people is North Korea, which could even beat out the U.S. there, but wouldn’t likely beat tiny Seychelles: North Korea is estimated to have “600-800 people incarcerated p e r 100,000,” and a total population of “ 2 4 , 895,000.”

The medical journals’ “disclosure gates” reveal that doctors have more Pharma financial links than anyone thought, and that some doctors think they have the ability and the right to decide which ones are “relevant.” Remember when politicians and officials would step down over merely the appearance of conflicts of interest or wrongdoing? And there is another irony. The medical community and public may not even care. Since medical disclosure rules were rolled out more than five years ago, I have been to medical conferences where presenters post disclosure slide after disclosure slide which clearly shape their pro-drug presentations, yet doctors in the audience do not seem to blink an eye.

Using the power of automatism and repetition to let go of dictating results and to tap into the unconscious, Ruddock has discovered new conflicts and harmonies that bring to mind the colours of everything from backlit stain glass to time-muted wall hangings. The smaller paintings propose a different descriptive language in contrast to the grid; fragments of incised line dealing with the particular structure of leaf and branch.

Once more a trace of the object appears. This time the trace is traced (!) as an image is projected onto the surface of the paintings and scratched into an encaustic ground.

Each installation is a learning experience as the unique attributes of a new location influence the artist’s creative response. Hadcock works primarily with fibre due to its ability to be morphed into a variety of different textures and forms through manual processes with minimal tools. The form of these objects become even more ambiguous when used in combination with hard-edged construction materials.

Fibre is soft and familiar. It retains a degree of uncontrolled wildness with inherent imperfections that share an affinity with the natural world. His oddly demure comportment is in short supply here as he veers from his customary falsetto to a more manly lower register, stripping off jacket and braces to showcase a portly, middle aged mid-section.

Musicianship also seems a bit wanting, though to be fair, that’s rarely the criteria by which we measure the success of an act that ends with writhing on the floor.

Another epic blizzard threatens 50 million people on the East Coast, with a bulls-eye on Washington DC. And leading climatologists again explain how human-induced climate change, especially warming-fueled ocean temperatures, are super-charging the amount of moisture in the atmosphere the storm will dump on us. One of the most robust scientific findings is the direct connection between global warming and more extreme precipitation or deluges. Basic physics tells us that a warmer atmosphere is able to hold more moisture at a rate of approximately 7 per cent increase per degree [Celsius] warming, as the U.K. Met Office explained in its 2014 update on climate science.

This is expected to lead to similar percentage increases in heavy rainfall, which has generally been borne out by models and observed changes in daily rainfall. This means that when it is cold enough to snow, snow storms will be fueled by more water vapor and thus be more intense themselves. So we expect fewer snowstorms in regions close to the rainsnow line, such as the central United States, though the snowstorms that do occur in those areas are still likely to be more intense.

It also means we expect more intense snowstorms in generally cold regions. This may appear to be counterintuitive and certainly climate science deniers like to play up big snowstorms for that reason. But the fact is that the warming to date is not close to that needed to end below-freezing temperatures during midwinter over parts of the globe like New England, while it is large enough to put measurably more water vapor into the air.

Health officials said 15 of the cases are among the indigenous population, while the other three were imported. The theft of gasoline and other hydrocarbon products from illegal taps on Pemex pipelines soared by 51% during 2015, totaling at least 6.9 million barrels and representing a loss for the state oil company of 10.9 billion pesos (US $591 million).

Mexico’s honey producers set a new record last year, exporting 45,000 tonnes valued at more than US $150 million. The vested interests - if we explain the situation by their influence - can only get the public to act as they wish by manipulating public opinion, by playing either upon the public’s indifference, confusions, prejudices, pugnacities or fears. And the only way in which the power of the interests can be undermined and their maneuvers defeated is by bringing home to the public the danger of its indifference, the absurdity of its prejudices, or the hollowness of its fears; by showing that it is indifferent to danger where real danger exists; frightened by dangers which are nonexistent. It is in the nature of imperialism that citizens of the imperial power are always among the last to know--or care-about circumstances in the colonies.

Iniquity, committed in this world, produces not fruit immediately, but, like the earth, in due season, and advancing by little and little, it eradicates the man who committed it. ... justice, being destroyed, will destroy; being preserved, will preserve; it must never therefore be violated. We learn from history that we do not learn from history. The Pentagon learned a lot from Vietnam: It learned that its greatest enemies are the press and the American public. The Wattled Curassow (Crax globulosa, Cracidae, Aves) is a large bird living in the Western Amazon basin and a critically endangered species in the Colombian and in the Peruvian Amazon. We carried out the first population genetics analysis of this species employing six nuclear microsatellite markers and sequences of the mtND2 gene. The main results are as follows. (1) The levels of gene diversity were high for the overall population as well as for each of the three islands for both microsatellites and mtDNA. (2) A small amount of genetic differentiation among populations was found with both types of markers (FST = 0.027 for microsatellites and NST = 0.17 for mitochondrial sequences). (3) Using microsatellites, the Geneclass 2.0 software detected a low correct assignment of individuals to their respective populations. The Structure software only detected one gene pool for the entire area studied. These results are relevant for conservation efforts of this critically endangered species. Variation on species composition and richness in mixed bird flocks along an altitudinal gradient in the Central Andes of Colombia.

We studied the influence of seven habitat variables, including tree species, for nesting by the Blackfaced Ibis (Theristicus melanopis melanopis) in an urban area of southern Chile.

Variables were compared between 30 trees with nests and 30 randomly selected trees without nests. Nests were found in big trees with large diameters and heights. However, the only variable found to have a significant effect on site selection was tree species, which explained 57.9% of data variability (deviance) and suggested a selection of exotic conifers, mainly Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii).

Tree species and tree diameter also had significant effects upon the number of nests per tree, jointly explaining 68.9% of data deviance. Our results suggest that in

urban environments the Black-faced Ibis uses larger trees that provide greater nest stability and protection.

Keywords: exotic trees, Osorno, Threskiornithidae, tree use, urban ecology, urban nesting. We recorded the species composition of mixed bird flocks, during 366 h of fieldwork in seven localities along an altitudinal gradient on the Central Andes of Colombia. We observed 164 species in 212 mixed bird flocks. Species composition varied along the altitudinal gradient and 27 species could have a cohesive role in the flock, but almost all of them were different among localities. The number of species per mixed flock varied from two to 30.

The mean number of species per flock also varied among localities, and the differences among the whole set of species joining mixed flocks in each locality seem to be related with both differences in altitude and geographic distance. Parental care may present an important role in the survival of waterfowl against natural enemies. Here, we provide a detailed description of the parental response of a pair of White-faced Whistling-ducks (Dendrocygna viduata, Anatidae) after an attack of a duckling by the carnivorous fish Hoplias malabaricus (Characidae). Despite the successful rescue of the duckling by the parents, there appeared to be a trade-off between reintegrating the injured duckling into the group and saving the rest of the chicks. Our understanding of the global ecology of avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) is impeded by historically low levels of viral surveillance in Latin America. Through sampling and whole-genome sequencing of 31 AIVs from wild birds in Peru, we identified 10 HA subtypes (H1H4, H6-H7, H10H13) and 8 NA subtypes (N1-N3, N5-N9). The majority of Peruvian AIVs were closely related to AIVs found in North America. However, unusual reassortants, including a H13 virus containing a PA segment related to extremely divergent Argentinian viruses, suggest that substantial AIV diversity circulates undetected throughout South America. *Rhodopechys sangineusphylogeny together with a group of Carduelini finches has been analyzed. Mitochondrial cyt b molecule has been used for species comparison and maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods have been employed in order to obtain a solid phylogeny.

Compared Carduelini finches groups include: Greenfinches, ‘Arid-Zone’ finches and Genera Rhodopechys

and Pyrrhula species. Our results lead to conclude: 1) Genus Rhodopechys included species should need a new taxonomic classification; 2) Genus Pyrrhula shares a common ancestor with ‘Arid-Zone’ finches group; the latter is phylogenetically a separate clade, including species from Carpodacus, Rhodopechys and Leucosticte Genera, and 3) Pinicola enucleator belongs to Genus Pyrrhula and seems to be ancestral. Results show that a sistematics revision of Carduelini tribe bird species is required. Food has become a hot topic on TV, the internet and printed media. The goal of thiscourseis to enhance the students’ competence both on the subject matter and in the practical skills necessary to produce good communication about food and wine. This multi-faceted coursegives

students a solid foundation in understandingItaly’s unique media environment as well as the opportunity to utilize Rome (and Italy) as a living laboratory for producing a final portfolio of journalistic writings.

Students will be able to take advantage of hands-on practical work with different kinds of media, including digital video.

Students will work with professionals and complete an original video project: a documentary or a reportage on a fo o d-re l ate d event. An important part of the course is the ethnographic research that students undertake to construct the narrative of their video product. Shooting and editing sessions are included as well a final screening during a public event in Rome. Guest lecturers include local and international journalists, writers, bloggers and documentary filmmakers. No prerequisites. What does a corporatocracy look like? Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, says, ‘the soverei g n state is obsolete.’ Ins t e a d , WEF’s goal is to give a greater role for corporations in global governance through ‘40 Global Agenda Councils and industry-sector bodies.’ In essence, the Global Redesign Initiative of the World Economic Forum seeks to privatize government.

The next battle to stop corporate government on a global scale will be the TPP. Stopping the TPP will be a tremendous victory of popular power over corporate power. We can stop the World Economic Forum’s vision of a global governance redesigned into a corporatocracy and create a world of popular democracy for a livable future for everyone. Millions of people in the United States are being exposed as Nuclear Radiation Victims on a daily basis. Exposure to radioactive pollution has been linked to cancer, genetic defects, Navajo Neuropathy, and increases in mortality. The delegation will speak about the impacts they are experiencing in their communities, which are also affecting other communities throughout the US. Your 17-year-old son comes home from his part-time job and says the family car he uses to get to work developed a “clunking” sound underneath the vehicle when he hits the gas pedal. Turns out he hit a pothole, and the left front tire is now damaged beyond repair. Of course, the tire rim may be damaged, too. Total cost of repair:

$500. Or, you play flag football on Sunday afternoons, and you break your tibia diving for the end zone. A trip to the hospital emergency room sets the damaged leg, but not before emergency room fees hit $1,000 and your health insurance plan’s deductible won’t cover the charge. Tunisia imposed a nationwide overnight curfew Friday in response to growing unrest as protests over unemployment across the country descended into violence in some cities. A curfew from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. has been put into place because the attacks on public and private property “represent a danger to the country and its citizens,” the Interior Ministry said. On Thursday night, police stations came under attack and security officers used tear gas to repel protesters armed with stones and Molotov cocktails. The armed occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge continue to use government equipment inside the complex.

One militant, who refused to give his name, again plowed dirt with a refuge bulldozer Wednesday.

He wouldn’t say why he was operating the machinery, but in several places, sagebrush and vegetation had been newly removed, leaving w i d e patches of bare mud within the complex .

The new road connects a b u n k h o u s e with another road. When asked about the construction, the militant claimed that the road was already there, and that militants had only removed snow from the path. Raw honey is lovely on toast, sweet in tea, and even helpful in certain beauty regimens, but there’s another type worth knowing about if you’re looking for more natural ways to boost your wellness. There have been claims that manuka honey benefits everything from your throat and stomach to your skin and your oral health. As categorical differentiations between ‘sex’, as a biological distinction, and ‘gender’, as a culturally constructed version of masculinity and femininity, prove difficult, any critical debate about them inevitably requires careful engagement with the power relations that attempt to shape it. The same applies for the discourses around the power distribution at work in the making, collecting and exhibiting of art. Whether in the studio, in museums, private collections or domestic spaces, works of art and their curatorial framing remain

important sites for the construction of meaning concerning the interactions of the sexes. On the other hand, can such heteronormative ascriptions be understood as leftovers of binary thought patterns unable to account for fluid contemporary understandings of gender? In an attempt to understand and explain gendered identities in art, issues of equality, the domestic life, the ‘body’, the ‘self ’ and the ‘other’ may be explored as complex intersections of social, cultural and political landscapes.

Considering the central place occupied by rice in Japanese identity it is surprising that it does not appear more often than it does. This first one is from Mizuho up in the mountains near where Iwami meet Hiroshima. I found this second one in the village of Koshita south of Usa in The tongue-biter Cymothoa exigua is arguable one of the most (in)famous fish parasite in the world. It was famous enough to get a mention on the Colbert Report, and while the world recoil in collective horror at the sight of a fish which had its tongue replaced by a parasite, among its fellow parasitic crustaceans, tonguebiter’s modus operandi is actually rather quaint. It can easily be upstaged by other parasitic isopods in the horror department, and today’s post is about one those species. The parasite we are featuring today is Artystone trysibia - it is in the same taxonomic group as the tongue-biter (Cymothoidae), and it parasitises a number of freshwater fish in the Amazonian basin. But unlike its more famous cousin which is content with merely living in the host’s mouth, A. trysibia cranks the nightmare fuel up to eleven and lives inside a fleshy capsule in the host’s body cavity. These catfish are fairly small fish, and most of them are about 15 - 20 cm long (6-8 inches), but A. trysibia can grow to 1.5 - 3 cm (0.6-1.2 inches) long and takes up quite a lot of space within the catfish. For comparison, it would be the equivalent of having something the size of a pet rabbit living in your torso. As mentioned above, the only contact the parasite has with the outside world is with a tiny hole through which they breath and release their offspring, and they can reproduce in prodigious numbers - one female isopod was recorded to be carrying 828 larvae. Each catfish was found to (thankfully?) only ever have a single A. trysibia, and it seems that the bigger the host, the bigger the parasite, possibly because a larger host would give the parasite more room to grow.

The bones at the lake, in northern Kenya, tell a tale of ferocity. One man was hit twice in the head by arrows or small spears and in the knee by a club. A woman, pregnant with a 6- to 9month-old fetus, was killed by a blow to the head, the fetal skeleton preserved in her abdomen. The position of her hands and feet suggest that she may have been tied up before she was killed. Researchers have been exploring a large area there since 2009 that is rich in fossils, remnants of tools like harpoons, and some evidence of pottery. Mr. Ebeya was walking an area about 19 miles

from the current shore of Lake Turkana that would have been the shore 10,000 years ago when the lake was bigger. When he returned from his walk, Dr. Lahr said, he told her, “I’ve got bones for you.” At the site, she saw broken human bones on the surface mixed with gravel.

“Then I saw the back of a skull,” which turned out to have major injuries. Further digging uncovered one violent death after another. The injuries showed no signs of having healed, which means that they had occurred at the time of death. And the position of the bodies showed no effort at burial. The injuries, she said, showed that two different size clubs were used, as well as arr o w s .

Deep cuts to foreheads, jaws and hands, she s a i d , m e a nt that a third type of weapon, with embedded stone blades, must have been used. The stone remnants were obsidian, which is rare in that area, and, she said, they “suggest the attackers were coming from somewhere else.” This was a highly fertile time in the Lake Turkana area. Pottery found in the region suggests that some groups of foragers at that time may have been storing food -- resources worth stealing. Or the attackers may have been after captives. Bones from one young teenager were found at the site, and remains of adults and children under 6, but no remains of older children, who might have been taken by the attackers. Dr. Lahr said the population of the area may have been expanding at the time, causing conflict as new bands formed and sought territory. There are conditions that lead to warfare, she said, “and those conditions I think applied in moments of the past to hunter-g atherers.” During my fieldwork in the western solomons I found the spatial gender divide apparent in formal and informal situations.

As to women’s silence at mixed sex meetings, which was often more pronounced when involved with outside organisations (NGOs and logging business), women told me this was about ‘respect’. When I asked them to explain what they meant by this they said that people needed to follow these rules about respect in order to retain ‘right relations’. A common example women gave me was women wearing trousers.

They said that if a woman wears trousers and her brother looks at her then there might be confusion - implying I think transgression of incest taboos. This was a really common response to my asking about why women

didn’t speak up at meetings; women’s silence configured as showing respect for men in a way that maintains right relations and correct social ordering. Perhaps this is the same point that Deborah is making that the gender divide gives solace - some sense that there is order to be found amidst the confusion of modernity? I am not implying though that women wished their subordinate position to continue. They often expressed great dissatisfaction with their exclusion from important negotiations about logging and their subsequent failure to recoup much financial benefit from logging operations on their customary land estates. Among Kubo at customary meetings (1980s, 1990s) there was no spatial separation of men and women, and women participated a great

deal in talking. At that time, at Church services (ECPNG) spatial separation of men and women was marked though a man who, light-heartedly, came to church wearing women’s clothing would be, laughingly, made to sit with the women and, in one case, a lad (early puberty and temporarily growing breasts) was made to sit between the men and the women.

In more recent times, at locally run court cases men and women are not spatially segregated and when the case concerns marital difficulties, adultery or pre-marital sex (that’s most of them) women participate a great deal. However, at meetings with the representatives of oil/gas companies spatial segregation of women and men is conspicuous and it is rare that a woman contributes to what is said, probably never directly, sometimes prompting their husband as to what should be said, and sometimes as an aside not intended for the company representatives. In this circumstance (as at Church) the gender equality that usually prevailed was voluntarily suppressed where it was presumed that intruding outsiders had quite different expectations of roles. 50 rounds of Aguila 9mm 124 Grain FMJ Ammo To p n o t c h ammo!

The ReadyNAS continues to be flaky; I have a new Synology NAS unit on order, but unfortunately, its between models I cant get the previous gen any more and the new one isnt quite available yet. Hopefully within a week or two though The fileserver wedged again, I’ll have to go in and power cycle it. Things should be back up by mid-afternoon. Yet another crash, things should be back up shortly. Services are back online. The fileserver in question is a ReadyNAS 102; Readynass have usually been very stable, if not particularly fast (I have hybrid ssd disks in this one to help with that). I will be considering options While the state’s budget impasse is holding up funds for everyone from college students to domestic violence victims, Illinois continues to pay banks millions of dollars every month for complex borrowing deals that other local governments have challenged in court, according to a new report. The state is currently paying $6 million a month for 19 interest rate swaps, according to the report from ReFund America Project. The swaps were sold as a way to save money by protecting taxpayers from rising interest rates. Illinois has paid over $600 million for the deals and could pay $1.45 billion for them before they are ended. ‘There’s no money going to emergency services, nothing going to rape counseling or homeless services,” said Nathan Ryan of Grassroots Collaborative, which endorsed the report.

“But the checks are going out on time, in full, twice a month to these banks for these swaps. To get a sense for supercoiled DNA, imagine twisting a piece of string. Let the string go, and it unwinds. Twist it enough, and it folds back on itself. The degree of twist puts stress on the string, which governs the shape it takes. DNA behaves in a similar fashion. Like the string, it prefers to be in its most relaxed state - the iconic double helix. But DNA rarely gets to relax. It’s subject to a continual onslaught of molecules that bind it - the enzymes that untangle, unwind and then replicate DNA; the molecules that mark which genes are active and which are silent; and the proteins that pack the lengthy molecule into a manageable size. All of these molecules contort DNA into new shapes, blocking it from the repose of the simple double helix. These interactions represent the inner workings of the cell, the basis of all life. How the cell decides to activate a certain gene, for example, involves a complex assembly of molecules in the right place at the right time. Protein-DNA interactions also present prime targets for drugs as well as insights into disease. Imagine a drug that could block activation of a cancer-linked

gene without interfering with other genes. Unfortunately, these interactions are very difficult to study because biological molecules morph shapes so easily. A mechanic would have a hard time fixing a car if the parts constantly mutated. To capture the complex structure of these nanoscale interactions, scientists typically crystalize the molecules, freezing their shape for the camera. The vast majority of these studies use short strands of relaxed DNA ‘the standard double-helix form ‘ because they’re easy to work with and cheap to make. But that may not capture the true picture; relaxed DNA often behaves differently than that found in the cell, contorted around all manner of proteins. In the American Black community, during the years leading up to the Harlem Renaissance, there was a sense of building artistic expression. Outlets and avenues for its poets, musicians, novelists, artists, and actors were few. But in 1918, as the first great World War concluded and thousands of African-American soldiers returned home victorious, this mountain of artistic expression was now ready to explode. I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, ‘Eat in the kitchen,’ Then. Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed’ I, too, am America. A campaign for a more equal and secure economy and a stronger democracy can build power, in networks of activists and alliances across constituencies. The movement that the campaign helps to create can develop and give voice to a program that the same people will keep working for, in and out of election cycles. ared Chase is the last member of the ‘NATO 3,’ who remains in prison. Chase suffers from Huntington’s disease and faces additional charges for alleged aggravated battery against a prison guard. He is set to go on trial in April. Chase, Brian Jacob Church and Brent Betterly came to Chicago in May 2012 for protests against NATO. They became known as the ‘NATO 3’ after they were targeted by undercover Chicago police and arrested on May 16. The state of Illinois accused the ‘NATO 3’ of making explosives. On February 7, 2014, after a lengthy trial in which the key role of undercover cops became even more apparent, a jury acquitted the ‘NATO 3’ of all terrorism charges. But they were found guilty of arson-related offenses and ‘mob action’ charges. Betterly, who was released from prison in April 2015, was last with Chase while they were beat up by guards during their arrival at the Stateville prison’s receiving center. During a recent pretrial hearing on December 7, 2015, Chase showed up to court with a black eye and a swollen face. Betterly said he’s lost a considerable amount of weight, perhaps fifty pounds. After the killing of Michael Brown in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri in the late summer of 2014, protests erupted, and the Black Lives Matter spread across North America to protest police violence, too often systematically directed at poor and racialized communities. The massive police presence at these protests, with weapons and armoured vehicles that looked and felt like major military deployments, made it clear to all that something fundamental had taken place in policing practices and strategies. The intensification and extension of the coercive and security branches of the state was wellknown since the declaration of the ‘war on terror’ in 2001, and the subsequent leaks of official documents by Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and others. To those of us who were alive and sentient, the name Huey P. Newton evokes an era of mass resistance, of Black popular protest and of the rise of revolutionary organizations across the land. To those of subsequent eras, youth in their 20s, the name is largely unknown, as is the name of its greatest creation: The Black Panther Party. To those of us now known as ‘old heads’ and elders, such a transition from then to now seems almost unimaginable, but alas, looking out into the present is proof positive that the old saying, ‘History is written by the victors’ has more than a grain of truth to it. History, it seems, is many things, but kind to the oppressed, it is not. It never has been. The future of the Portland Pipe Line Corp. will be in jeopardy if it’s not allowed to reverse the flow of its pipeline to bring tar sands oil from Canada to its marine terminal in South Portland, lawyers for the company argued Thursday in

U.S. District Court in Portland. The company is challenging South Portland’s controversial Clear Skies ordinance, passed by the City Council in July 2014, which banned the loading of crude oil into tankers on the city’s waterfront and effectively blocked the company from reversing the flow of its South Portland-toMontreal pipeline. Attorneys for South Portland questioned why the company still hasn’t submitted any plans or sought any of the permits needed to reverse the pipeline’s flow. ‘They haven’t taken any steps to actually do what they claim they want to do,’ said Jonathan Ettinger, a lawyer with Foley Hoag in Boston.

‘If they’re not taking steps, (the claim of u rgenc y) is hollow.’

Ettinger said global market conditions - not the city’s ordinance - are the source of the company’s hardships.In a textbook case of both total tone deafness and a classic example of adding insult to injury, the Flint, Michigan Department of Water is sending past due water bills to the thousands of city residents it has been poisoning for over a year. Of course, this zeal to recoup overdue monies ‘for services rendered’ comes in the midst of Flint’s man-made water crisis. That is, as the world is finally aware, the poisoning of Flint’s water supply ‘ whether inadvertent or not ‘ was planned and perpetrated at the behest and approval of ‘conservative’ Republican governor Rick Snyder. Snyder, employed Michigan’s corporate backed, neoliberal and Tea Party-dominated legislature’s ‘Emergency Financial Manager’ law as cover for an especially venal brand of ‘austerity’ against the mostly black citizens of Flint. On a chilly evening last March, LeeAnne Walters heard her daughter shriek from the bathroom of the family’s twostory clapboard house. She ran upstairs to find 18-year-old Kaylie standing in the shower, staring at a clump of long brown hair that had fallen from her head. The International Social Ontology Society (ISOS) invites contributions to its tenth conference.

Collective Intentionality X is an interdisciplinary conference concerning collective intentionality in particular and social ontology more generally. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to): collective intention and action, collective or team reasoning, collective or distributed cognition, collective responsibility, rationality, emotion, consciousness, attention, memory, decisionmaking, knowledge, norms and trust. Cooperation and

competition and the roles they play in social practices, organizations, and institutions are also among the core themes. Interdisciplinary submissions are encouraged. Relevant disciplines include philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, computer science, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, political science, law, and economics.

The liberal denominations and their seminaries, by betraying the poor, especially people of color, in a desperate bid to stay financially solvent, are making themselves obsolete. Paul Tillich wrote that all institutions, including the church, are inherently demonic.

Reinhold Niebuhr asserted that no institution could ever achieve the morality of the individual. Institutions, he warned, to extend their lives when confronted with collapse, will swiftly

betray the stances that ostensibly define them.

Only individual men and women have the strength to hold fast to virtue when faced with the threat of death.

And decaying institutions, including the church, when consumed by fear, swiftly push those endowed with this moral courage and radicalism from their ranks, rendering themselves obsolete. The wisdom of Tillich and Niebuhr has been borne out in the precipitous decline of the liberal church and the seminaries and divinity schools that train religious scholars and clergy. Faced with shrinking or nonexistent endowments, mounting debts, dwindling memberships, a lack of employment for their graduates and growing irrelevancy in a society that has little use for tepid church piety and the smug arrogance that comes with it, these institutions have fallen into physical and moral decay. The number of adults in the mainline Protestant churches--Presbyterian, Unitarian-Universalist, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopalian, Congregationa l i s t - decreased from about 41 million in 2007 to 36 million in 2014, according to the Pew Research Center. And the average age of the congregant is 52. The Catholic Church also is being decimated; its decline has been exacerbated by its decades-long protection of sexual predators within the priesthood and the Vatican’s relentless campaign, especially under John Paul II, to force out of the church priests, nuns and lay leaders who focused their ministries on the poor and the oppressed. The Catholic Church, which has lost 3 million members over the last decade, has seen its hold on the U.S. population fall to 21 percent from 24. Kevin Kruse in his book “One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America” details how industrialists in the 1930s and 1940s poured money and resources into an effort to silence the social witness of the mainstream church, which was home to many radicals, socialists and proponents of the New Deal. These corporatists promoted and funded a brand of Christianity--which is today dominant--that conflates faith with free enterprise and American exceptionalism. The rich are rich, this creed goes, not because they are greedy or privileged, not because they use their power to their own advantage, not because they oppress the poor and

the vulnerable, but because they are blessed. And if we have enough faith, this heretical form of Christianity claims, God will bless the rest of us too. It is an inversion of the central message of the Gospel. You don’t need to spend three years at Harvard Divinity School as I did to figure that out. At the Davos World Economic Forum, the Israeli leader insisted that the U.N.-Iran nuclear deal had made his country less secure and that it must therefore get tens of billions extra in military aid from the U.S. And that wasn’t all. President Widodo, addressing a high-level security meeting on Tuesday, called for amendments to the country’s anti-terrorism law after ISIL-linked attackers struck last week at the heart of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, the most populated Muslim country. The proposed changes would make it easier for the authorities to arrest anyone whom they believe have a strong indication to be planning a terrorist attack, according to the minister in charge of security, Luhut Panjaitan. The proposed new legislation would also allow officials to hold suspects for longer than a w e e k without charge and would make it illegal for Indonesians to fight with m i lita nt s of ISIL. Images of war are always difficult to decipher, in particular when they’re digital constructs. I worked here with the elusiveness of the imaginary, with a sense of escape and even obscenity, as these are crude productions. I deliberately used a netbook and tablet with a Second Life browser, so that rendering parameters were kept at the lowest level; the screen renditions are redolent of peripheral or drone vision, close-up but undetailed. It’s as if we’re watching the war from the machine, instead of the machinery of war and the machine, mute, has no knowledge, in these cases, of what it sees. I think of Capa’s images of war, and the implicit violence of the construction of these respondents as well. The territory is Odyssey in Second Life, the casualties, my own. Disadvantaged people are largely victims of middle- and upper-class pollution because they usually live closest to the sources of pollution--power plants, industrial installations, and in central cities where vehicle traffic is heaviest. Usually they have no choice. Discrim-

ination created the situation, and those with wealth and influence have political power to keep polluting facilities away from their homes. Living in poverty areas is bad enough. High pollution makes it worse. Chemical Waste, a subsidiary of Waste Management Inc., has a knack for siting its incinerators and landfills in minority communities. They include Chem Waste’s “Cadillac of Landfills” in Sumter County, Ala., where nine out of 10 residents are black. In the 1980s, much of the hazardous waste removed from Superfund sites elsewhere in America made its way to this location, which sits atop an aquifer that supplies water to a wide swath of Alabama.

The landfill, near the Mississippi border, is one of the largest receptacles of hazardous waste in the world. It accepts such hazardous materials as asbestos, PCBs and many other substances regulated under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The World Health Organization has announced the mosquitoborne Zika virus is expected to hit the U.S. as it spreads across the Americas. Only Canada and Chile are likely to be spared, the agency says, because the type of mosquito known for spreading the illness is not present in either country. The disease, which can severely harm unborn babies if the mother is infected, has been reported in at least 21 countries. Pregnant women have already been asked not to travel to Bolivia, Brazil, and Colombia, among many other countries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said pregnant women who have traveled to South and Central America should be monitored for the virus. Waste Management claims ownership of the facility today, but its provenance was a mystery when it was created in 1977 in a shadowy deal shepherded through the state permitting process by the son-inlaw of Gov. George Wallace.

Armed Oregon militiamen occupying the federal Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in an anti-government effort have convinced at least one local sheriff that officials should give in to their demands. More than three weeks into the occupation, Sheriff Glenn Palmer of neighboring Grant County told The Oregonian, ‘the government is going to have to concede something,’ including freeing the local father and son who were sent to prison for arson charges, a move that launched the standoff. The sheriff also suggested that the FBI leave the area. ‘I just pray to God that cooler heads prevail and that no one gets killed,’ Palmer said. Other law-enforcement officials were reportedly taken aback by Palmer’s sudden change of tune. Many, including Malheur County Sheriff Brian Wolfe, have said Palmer’s position ‘doesn’t help the cause. If anything, it hampers the effort to end this. A manhunt is underway in Southern California for three inmates from the maximum-security Orange County Central Men’s Jail who escaped Friday after cutting through half-inch steel bars and rappelling from the roof with a rope. CNN reports the men used plumbing tunnels and rappelled using towels and bed sheets to descend the four stories. The men were last seen at 5 a.m. Friday and were discovered missing at the 8 p.m. inmate count, in the first escape from the prison in 20 years. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service put up a $50,000 reward early Monday for information leading to their capture. Police are searching for 20-year-old Jonathan Tieu, who was held on a $1 million bond for murder charges; 37-year-

old Hossein Nayeri, who was held on kidnapping and torture charges; and 43-year-old Bac Duong, who is accused of attempted murder. Authorities are not sure whether the men are armed. Residents along the East Coast are still digging out Monday after a massive snowstorm buried much of the region, leaving at least 29 people dead.

The deaths ranged in snowstorm-related incidents including car accidents, carbon-monoxide poisoning, and heart attacks while shoveling snow. New York City broke its all-time daily snowfall record with 26.6 inches at Central Park while JFK International Airport recorded 30.1 inches. West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania also saw totals over 30 inches.

Southern shore towns in New Jersey and Delaware were hard-hit by icy flooding, where water levels exceeded those in 2012’s Hurricane Sandy. Airlines on Sunday had canceled 800 Monday flights while all federal offices in Washington will be closed Monday, the U.S. Office of Emergency Management said. A video posted Sunday by the selfproclaimed Islamic State features the gunmen who carried out the Nov. 13 terror attacks in Paris. The clips were shot in Syria and Iraq, and appear to show the terrorists beheading one man and shooting another. If the Paris attackers’ identitities are confirmed, The New York Times reports, the video would be the first evidence that the men were not just inspired by ISIS but part of the group and had already been committing atrocities in its name. “Hard to Place” traces the journey of a mixed-race, orphan boy growing up in 1960s/70s London. Joseph was born in the UK to immigrant parents: an Irish mother and Nigerian father. A ‘half-cast(e)’ orphan caught in the climate of societal racism and discrimination plaguing 1960s and ‘70s England, Joseph was considered ‘hard to place’ amongst the mostly white, adoptive families. Consequently, Joseph was placed “in care” at eight different times from age 3 to 17. The West Hollywood City Council approved a measure that prohibits individuals from using drones where citizens have a reasonable expectation of privacy. The move comes following incidents last year when drones crashed into power lines and interfered with manned aviation. Two Los Angeles residents face criminal charges under the new measure. While much research into modern French philosophy has rightly emphasised the breaks between pre-war French philosophy and poststructuralism, the aim of this workshop will be to also explore some of the philosophical continuities between these two moments in the French tradition.

We welcome papers exploring any aspect of the philosophical or historical continuities and influences on later poststructuralist thought of existential, phenomenological, Bergsonian and other movements in the first half of the twentieth century. The aim will be to explore the way in which shared problematics are taken up by early and late 20th century French philosophy, and to consider the degree to which working across the divide may allow a greater insight into the problems driving it, or open the way to creative reworkings of these problems. Appropriate figures for papers to examine include but are not limited to Wahl, Bergson, Beauvoir, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Irigaray, Deleuze, Derrida, and Foucault.

Issues regarding the lack of depth and breadth in the visual representation of African Americans continue

to persist. Through this project, Lee’s aim is to contribute to this conversation by highlighting the importance of quotidian black life as exemplified by an under-examined aspect of visual history: family photos. In her essay “In Our Glory: Photography and Black Life,” bell hooks describes the pivotal role of vernacular snapshots as “sites of resistance” against stereotypical depictions of African Americans. The instant film camera put the narrative power squarely into the hands of the very families depicted. Everyday moments could be captured and shared without delay or interference, reflecting how black people saw t h e m selves without considering an external gaze. The simplest way to do your resume right is to use these, and o n l y these, verbs. This seems boring, but it really doesn’t matter.

Unless you are applying to be a thesaurus writer, nobody cares how clever your success verbs are. The millions of hours lost each year to professionals like you looking up synonyms for “improved” is a complete waste of time -- none of the three layers of reviewers are grading you for verbal facility. List of Success Verbs Achieved Added Awarded Changed Contributed Decreased Delivered Eliminated Exceeded Expanded Gained Generated Grew Improved Increased Introduced Maxim i z e d Minimized Optimized Produced Reduced Saved Sold So your typical 8-bullet point job achievements on your 8-minute resume will read like this: - Increased x by % - Decreased x by % - Improved x by $ - Reduced x by $ - Introduced new x that led to more.... - Eliminated old x that led to less... - Successfully added new x.... Achieved the removal of new x... “x” can be profits, costs, clients, vendors, products, practice areas, strategies, risk, volatility, etc. And, of course, it’s important to have a number, dollar, or percentage increase / decrease mentioned in each bullet point. You’ll be surprised at how many you can write using this template, and how this process jogs your memory for all the great stuff you’ve done... Increased new customer visits by 17% without increasing ad budget. Decreased AWS bill by 42% through improved architecture (vs. 19% industry average). Improved revenue per SaaS client by $4,250 through consultative sales training. Reduced cost-per-hire by $7,010 through employee referral program. Introduced 2 new products that led to 2,500,000

increase in MAUs. Eliminated old systems that led to a 75 FTE reduction in offshore headcount.

Successfully added 3 productive warehouses to our nationwide network. Achieved the removal of 5,000 external firm billable hours per year by reorganizing internal staffing. But, you might say, I brought amazing non-quantified value to the organization! I introduced Agile Development, led a huge bond offering, brought innovative logistics strategies to bear, or reorganized our selling methodology.

Yes. I agree those are impressive and important achievements. But they are only impressive and important to the extent they are quantifiable. New methodologies, exhibiting leadership, or bringing innovation to a company are interesting to your bosses’ bosses only to the extent they improve,

quantifiably, the outcome of the company -- more users, more revenue, faster turnaround, higher client satisfaction. In the interests of getting you out of here in 8 minutes, however, I’ll make a concession. You get 3 “mulligans” -- three bullet points in your resume where you don’t have to produce a quantifiable result. That’ll be our compromise, OK? Overall, the above outline is remarkably simple because the job search process, despite all the anxiety and confusion, is remarkably simple. You want to do work similar to the work you’ve done before but at a new place and a new level. To do so, you need to explain to new people what can give them confidence that you will be able to contribute to the new team. The easiest way to do that is to share numerical data that show you have contributed in the past and can, therefore, contribute in the future. Your audience Your resume is a marketing document that needs to get past three people to get you your interview: A junior res u m e screener who is comparing your resume to a list of skills, titles, or companies that he or she is given by the recruiter. Overly clever resumes or cutesy positioning can really kill you with this person, because they don’t understand the nod and the wink that comes with w r i t i n g “Chief Bottle Washer” when you really mean “CoFounder”. For these reviewers, the choice of phrases in the professional summary is especially important. A recruiter, whether internal or external, who, on average, will give your resume 6 seconds first screening. And then, later, another 2 - 3 minutes to make sure you’re worth presenting to the client or hiring manager. By giving them easy-to-digest numbers they can share with the client or hiring manager, you make it much easier to present you, rather than a different candidate, for the interview.

The hiring manager who will be interested in finding out “what can this person do for me and my team in the next year or two.” This person will review your resume in more detail. She will be looking for indications that you have previously solved the types of problems this job will have to deal with. Your goal is to quantifiably prove that you can. A little over 23 years ago at the prison in Lucasville, Southern Ohio Correc-

tional Facility in southern Ohio, and the Muslim prisoners were having a dispute or discrepancy with the warden over their administering of Tuberculosis tests. Apparently the tests that they were using contained phenol, which is an alcoholic substance. Based on the Islamic doctrine, the Muslims, particularly the Sunni Muslims, are prohibited from ingesting this chemical, and so they tried to meet with the warden to come up with alternative ways to determine whether or not they had TB. And the warden of the time, a guy named Arthur Tate, a real hard liner, decided to press their hand and refused to give them an alternative. And so the Muslims started what they expected to be a peaceful protest to try to garner out that attention and hopefully pressure the administration to give them alternatives. At the time, back in 1993 - this was before Mike Brown, before Eric Garner, before this public unrest and what not - racism was very rampant down at the penitentiary. Guys were being beaten, bullied and moved from here to there. So when Muslims took over the prison, took keys and unlocked doors, you know, they unleashed years and years of pent up r a g e .

Things v e r y quickly got out of hand, ultimately e n d e d with nine inmates being killed, one guard being murdered. Snow Removal Employment | City of New York - NYC.gov Pay is $13.50 per hour and increases to $20.25 per hour after working 40 hours a week. Payment is made by check and normally takes about 4 to 6 weeks, but can take up to 12 weeks. www1.nyc.gov But I can still get up before 4 a.m. and start my day with a good exercise routine, thanking life for all the good things it has given me, especially for all the good people who have become part of my life because they love freedom and justice and want a better and fairer world like I do. And 16 hours later I can lay my old body down to relax, listen to some music and news, and again thank life for all that it has given me. In my pack of worries, there are two very big concerns that have been added: the debt crisis in Puerto Rico and that my granddaughter Karina has to incur a huge debt to gain entry into a dental school. I have to admit that for the last one, I have no way of doing anything to help her. Student debt in

this country is more than $3 trillion and growing. It is painful to see my granddaughter Karina adding her name to the list of student debtors. Decades of corrupt politicians piling on debt has impoverished Puerto Rico and has forced many young people with good professions to migrate, causing a massive brain drain. In addition, it makes Puerto Rico privatize some of the best public corporations that provide good jobs and help to boost the economy. The unpayable debt was created by the vultures of Wall Street, the neoliberal Washington politicians, and the corrupt politicians in Puerto Rico.

They are the ones who should be paying off the debt. I can see my beautiful granddaughter ten years from now, still paying to the creators of the debt, her debt for wanting to be a good dentist.

And she is not the only young Puerto Rican going through this same ordeal.

Hezbollah was established in the early 1980s to end Israel?s occupation of Lebanon. With Israel?s withdrawal in 2000, and a subsequent Israeli incursion in 2006 repulsed by Hezbollah fighters, the resistance organization remains on the /qui vive / against future Israeli aggressions. It is now assisting the Syrian Arab Army in its death struggle against extreme sectarian Sunni Islamists, among them ISIS and Jabhat al Nusra. These al-Qaeda offshoots pose an existential threat to the Shia community in Lebanon, explaining why Hezbollah has chosen to enter the conflict. Israel depends for its existence on the United States. If the financial, economic and military support that Washington grants Tel Aviv stops, Israel will cease to exist. The victims of Israel are the Palestinians and the Lebanese, both of whom have suffered occupation and massacres at Israel?s hands. Blame for Israeli actions, then, lies more with Washington, Israel’s master, than with Netanyahu and his terrorist army. Therefore, Palestinians and Lebanese are the primary victims of the US domination project in the Middle East. US foreign policy is aimed at plundering the region’s oil, gas and riches.

It is driven by the owners of oil and weapons companies, not by human rights organizations. 36F, overcast.
