Merry Christmas Eve. This is my favorite day of the year. From the moment I wake up I am happy that it is Christmas Eve. All my shopping is done, all the errands and wrapping, and now I can take a deep breath and absorb the day. I have some cooking to do for tonight and tomorrow morning, but somehow making Christmas eve dinner and Christmas brunch are not work. Just anticipation of good to come. There is a calmness in my spirit, and yet there is still the anxious joy of waiting for good things to come. We go to church tonight, Christmas carols will make me smile and cry at the same time. Through out the season I try to pause and remember why we celebrate, what is the basis of my faith and belief, but Christmas Eve brings it all together for me. This is my favorite day. I want to wish anyone reading this a blessed Christmas.


DOJ to conduct preliminary investigation on ambush of Cotabato vice mayor
In a department order, Justice Secretary Leila De Lima named Assistant State Prosecutor Vimar Barcellano and prosecution lawyers Gerard Gaerlan and Javee Laurence Bandong as members of the panel.
"The panel was directed to file appropriate information before the appropriate court if the evidence warrants," De Lima said in her order.

Shooting at a Moving Target: The Continuing Saga of Possible CCPA Amendments
By Rachel R. Marmor and Austin Smith
Six bills proposing variousmove through the state’s legislature, and are likely to come up for a final floor vote imminently. None of the proposed amendments would change the law’s core requirements. However, some would clarify ambiguities and reduce certain compliance burdens.
Where the Amendments Stand
The following six bills passed the Assembly and are working their way through the Senate:
AB-25, exempting – for one year – employee data from CCPA requirements related to access, deletion and opt-out, but not transparency;
AB-846, clarifying that discounts and differences in services associated with loyalty programs are permitted under the law, but prohibiting the sale of data collected through loyalty programs;
AB-874, refining what p;
AB-1146, allowing sharing of information between a motor vehicle dealer and manufacturer without opt-out rights and clarifying that the right to deletion does not apply to data necessary to conduct product recalls;
AB-1355, making a number of technical corrections in the law; and
AB-1564, eliminating the requirement to operate a toll-free phone number to accept consumer requests in certain circumstances.
For more details about the content of these bills, please refer to our articles about them in the Privacy Oracle’s April and June issues.
CCPA Bills See Little Opposition in State Senate
The Senate also amended AB-25, the bill regarding employee data, by moving the operative language to a different part of the bill and sunsetting the access, deletion, and opt-out exemption after just one year.

My pictures and objects are about the exploration of human experience a process of remembering and individual perception. I design abstract landscapes with reduced symbols through the compacting of an concept. I want to tell stories by the use of the combination of different form and color elements in my pictures so that they – at the end – become a especially expression of my individual statement. During my study of communication design I am interested in the area of Semiotik and integrate these findings of „theories of communication“ with short and concise sign codes into my paintings in order to create memories and impressions of recollection to the recipient. Sometimes only a little dot or a consciously solid line completes the composition and can be for the beholder the decisive indication for a possible interpretation.
My artworks painted mostly with acrylic colours in a mixed technique on canvas. Single printmaking arise on special handmade paper, which are supplemented with chalks, pigments, oil and acrylic colour. Objects and artists books completes my range of art.

E-cigarettes SHOULDN'T be used as a stop smoking tool because there isn't enough evidence to prove they are safe, researcher claims

The psychologist made the claim in a strongly worded letter in a medical journal
Dr Flint branded health organisations 'irresponsible' for promoting the gadgets
E-cigarettes shouldn't be used as a stop smoking tool, a researcher has claimed.
Dr Stuart Flint, a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University, believes it is premature to call the trendy gadgets a 'healthier alternative' to traditional cigarettes.
In a strongly worded letter published in a prestigious journal, he urgently called for more studies delving into their supposed health benefits. and unethical' for promoting the gadgets as a cessation tool - their original purpose.
He wrote: ' (stock)

Around three million Britons and some 10 million in the US use e-cigarettes, battery-powered devices containing nicotine.
The smokeless devices do not produce tar and carbon monoxide – the nasty toxins found in tobacco cigarettes.
E-CIGARETTES: ARE THEY SAFE?
research in November found the devices may slow down your heart rate.

The study, which exposed mice to e-cigarettes and tobacco products, back up repeated claims that it can lead to heart disease
Dr Flint slammed the conflicting advice given by health officials in the UK which could 'confuse' those looking to give up smoking.
Nice, the drug's rationing watchdog, has previously issued a warning over e-cigarettes because there is limited evidence to consider them safe.
It made the claim in guidelines it circulated to family doctors in September.
However, Public Health England on the same day paid for 30-second television adverts to urge smokers to switch to e-cigarettes.
The short clips formed part of the Government's annual 'Stoptober' campaign to encourage those with the notoriously bad habit to quit.
Dr Flint wrote: 'The contradictory stance of the UK’s expert health organisations is likely to confuse public understanding.'

It's not clear from this side of the Pond how British ISPs operate, but threats to limit access or "pull the plug" altogether on the BBC's iPlayer unless the network ponies up, might be viewed as corporate extortion.
They call it "packet shaping," though, which is en route to be one of the hottest topics in the realm. In the States, ISPs argue in favor of packet shaping by saying there is a limited amount of bandwidth, a point others dispute as bandwidth increases exponentially and becomes cheaper by the day.
But also, like the British ISPs appear to be doing, they insinuate that online providers and subscribers are not already paying healthy bandwidth premiums – up to 40 times costs on the consumer side. From the provider side, ISPs are far more blatant, accusing content providers of piggybacking for free, which is patently untrue.
Packet shaping is also a key issue in the Net Neutrality debate stateside. ISPs have argued they wouldn't abuse their power (and assumed right) to prioritize, redirect, slow down, or block content, yet even as they make those assurances, Pearl Jam's political speech is muted, government spies (NSA) are given carte blanche access, and competing services are degraded.
Packet shaping, like government power then, is a practice ripe for abuse, as those dictating the use of bandwidth, and the tolls placed upon it, assume the right to control content.

Whether you lead a billion dollar company or a small department, your primary accountability is to leverage the talent of your people to get results. That is the opposite of control. If you want to get the most from your people, give them a clear vision of where you’re headed, challenge them with high expectations, give them feedback on how they can improve performance (vs what they didn’t do well,) remove performance roadblocks they identify, and recognize them for their achievements. It’s not rocket science.

This is a wild and wacky book all right, and it’s a blast. From the moment we meet Melie, she’s mired in HR insanity and an existential crisis of romantic desperation: “Men seem to want something she just couldn’t give. They drifted in and out, leaving more rusted wreckage in her dump of a heart.”
Matching the story perfectly is Garber’s writing style, which is the linguistic equivalent of a New York City attitude. The sentences come at you as brisk, overlapping waves, hurling you across the story. The book is filled with vibrant characters, and why not?

He also said Obama saved the American auto industry by forcing GM to reorganize, but neglected to say Obama cheated the preferred stockholders of the right to be paid off first. I have heard that they were never paid. He also forgot to mention that now our government owns a part of the industry — socialism. This was done to save the suppliers of auto parts. I believe these suppliers serve other auto makers. Yes, their income would go down, but would they go bankrupt?
He also states that the above accomplishments have caused many people to think that President Obama could singlehandedly plug the oil hole. No, we don't think that. We do think he could have managed the cleanup much better with his great organization abilities!
We do wonder how he could put a moratorium on our deep ocean drilling and at the same time promise to lend Brazilian oil $330 million of non-existent money (taxpayers?


Big Breaking: Look who has joined Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan now
Galatta | 08:16 PM
2019-06-18T20:16:00 +05:30
Maverick filmmaker Mas dream project, Ponniyin Selvan, based out of the historical epic novel with the same name, penned by Kalki Krishnamoorthy. The preparatory works for this historical biggie are on full throttle and we might expect this film to go on floors by the end of this year. The latest update about this film is that the screenplay is penned by popular actor Elango Kumaravel. People will definitely know him for his funny and emotional performance as Ravi Shastri in Prakash Raj - Trisha starrer Abhiyum Naanum.
Kumaravel also has films like Payanam, Uppu Karuvaadu, Kaatrin Mozhi, Kurangu Bommai, and the recent Sarvam Thaala Mayam to his credit. Kumaravel is more of a writer than an actor and he is a known figure in the literature and theatre circle. He has penned the stories for notable and famous theatre plays too. Now, he is all set to write the screenplay of Ponniyin Selvan, directed by Mani Ratnam. This must definitely come as a big leap for the talented writer turned actor.
Interestingly, Kumaravel acted in an important character in the super successful Ponniyin Selvan theatre play, which has been happening since 1999. Elango Kumaravel is expected to be one of the screenwriters for this Mani Ratnam directorial and we might hear about the addition of few more names in the coming days. Since it is an ambitious project, it is quite obvious to see a lot of talents coming together to create a film.


billions of your tax dollars on bailouts that were a complete failure), finally some people are wondering if the federal government really has any business running the auto industry. No! Fox News: “The combined total of auto industry experience the 24-member federal auto task force brings to the bailout talks equals zero, raising doubts about the group’s capacity to handle General Motors’ and Chrysler’s meltdowns…Thirty-ld the White House last week they are troubled by the work of the Auto Task Force. The lawmakers’ concerns range from exploiting auto workers to laying off dealership employees. “De.”…”Who is this auto task forceworkers in America. They don’t represent investors, they don’t represent dealerships. They represent various Wall Street interests,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio. “don’t even own cars. And they’re dictating the auto industry for our future? What’s wrong with this picture?” asked Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.”- Some on the task force don’t own American-made cars. As our 4/17/9 Scandal notes, the task force leader is under investigation in connection with a possible pay to play deal. Scandals we list on 4/29/9 note that Obama is stealing GM from its rightful owners and redistributing it to the UAW, and that Obama lied saying he doesn’t want to run the auto industry. As Al Gore would say, the debate is over. Socialism is here.

He’s taking her to a show because he promised…hey, wait…when has a promise ever meant anything to this guy before?

He worked with the UAW to illegally give away a national asset to the union. Union leaders took the deal and sold out 21,000 of their members who will lose their jobs. And, once again Obama repeats his government is “the only way” lie. If you’re looking for a car, keep in mind Obama has used billions of OUR tax dollars to keep these companies afloat long enough to manipulate shareholders into giving away portions to the trade unions. It’s a monumental scandal! Have you driven a Ford lately?

Now President Obama does another flip flop according to Erica Werner at Associated Press: .” So they flipped, then flopped, then flipped again. AP: “Obama spokesman Reid Cherlin said in a statement. “He stated again his belief that health reform can’t wait another year, and that while all options should be considered, those options should include the revenue proposals that he included in his budget.” …then flopped again!

Canberra’s summer of cricket just got a whole lot bigger with the launch of an expanded short-form competition for the region’s top players.
On the back of the success of last season’s inaugural Female T20 Bash, Cricket ACT has expanded its 2020-2021 program to include 22 representative teams across six divisions ranging from under-12s to senior men and women.
Players will represent four franchises – Northern Frenzy, Eastern Fever, Southern Pride and Western Crash – with the exception of the senior men’s competition which will be an ACT north-versus-south tri-series based on last year’s All-Stars for Mental Health match.
The majority of games will be played in T20 format with a season-ending finals carnival at Manuka Oval in the works.
The ACT has a rich history of producing top Australian players including former Test and one-day international (ODI) stars Michael Bevan, Brad Haddin and Kris Britt.
Current Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon spent the formative years of his career in the ACT playing grade cricket for Western Districts & University of Canberra Cricket Club before debuting for the ACT Comets in 2008. Fast bowler Jason Behrendorff, who plays for Western Australia and the Australian ODI team, also cut his teeth in the nation’s capital.
In season 2020-2021, Cricket ACT’s expanded T20 Bash will feature boys’ teams for the first time. Photo: Cricket ACT.
“I look forward to watching the Cricket ACT pathway program grow to become the best, and best performing, junior development program in Australia,” said CDC Data Centres CEO Greg Boorer.
“In these uncertain times, this partnership provides stability and a positive message that Cricket ACT is planning to exit the COVID-19 pandemic in a healthy state,” said Mr Allsopp.
Also on the cards is an ambitious ploy to host an under-15 National Championships in Canberra next summer. While the event is not yet confirmed, it would provide another valuable opportunity for the region’s rising stars.
“In addition to the CDC Bash, the proposed National Championships will provide both the ACT under-15 male and under-15 female teams with quality competitive playing opportunities against the best opposition available,” said Cricket ACT high performance general manager Olivia Thornton.
More information is available on the Cricket ACT website.

Vinyl and concert popularity notwithstanding, the picture’s box office success came after everyone’s conventional wisdom (mine included) speculated that Paramount probably had another The Last of the Secret Agents?


My annual ranking of the top 25 MLB players under 25 is up for Insiders, as is another draft blog post on Vanderbilt’s Carson Fulmer and Dansby Swanson. My weekly Klawchat transcript is up. I also appeared on actor Nate Corddry’s Reading Aloud podcast, talking mostly about books and pizza with a little baseball chatter thrown in.
Several of you have recommended Mas Tacos Por Favor for a while, although it’s much easier now that they have a brick and mortar location right across the street from The Pharmacy, a great burger joint that also serves amazing tater tots. Mas Tacos offers five different taco options that look like they rotate or change frequently; when I was there there were options with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and a vegetarian one with sweet potato. The pulled (braised) pork was the easy winner over the chicken, as the pork had the flavor of carnitas without being too heavy, while I thought the chicken was too bland and I mostly got the flavors of the toppings. You can get one elote (grilled seasoned corn on the cob with paprika and cotija cheese) for $3, which I recommend, and a small plate of maduros (fried sweet plantains), which I probably wouldn’t. They also sell aguas frescas in varying flavors, but were out of the one flavor (tamarind) I would have ordered that day.
I tried to go to Barista Parlor, the over-the-top coffee emporium on the east side of Nashville, but their espresso machine was down that morning, so I’ll have to save that for another trip. I did make it back to Crema, still the best local roaster I’ve found in Nashville, not quite at the level of direct-trade spots like Intelligentsia or Counter Culture but at the high end of the next tier.

Nashville is awesome. If they had a major-league team there, I could live in Nashville very happily. The food scene is amazing, I hear the music scene is pretty good, the city is full of vibrant neighborhoods with distinct identities, and it’s growing – having a great university right in the city doesn’t hurt. It’s a shame its reputation has to be scarred by the proximity of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Gouging Center, but that’s well outside the city limits anyway.
I went with a friend and because we were seated 15-20 minutes after our reservation time, we ended up with a starter compliments of the kitchen – Carolina rice griddle cakes with a pimento/jalapeñ cheese spread. The cakes were ridiculously good, with the crispy texture on top of cornmeal cakes (thanks to lots of sugar caramelizing in some sort of not-good-for-you fat), soft and steaming in the center, but not flat or dry like a lot of pancakes that don’t use much wheat flour. There was, however, a greater chance of Dan Vogelbach playing shortstop in the majors than there was of me liking that cheese spread. I contented myself with the Parker House rolls served as starters. That’s a traditional New England roll made with milk and baked all stuffed into a pan so that you only get a crust on the top and bottom, with the sides of the rolls all touching and coming out in a sort of square-like shape. These were the best I’d ever had, the lightest and the most flavorful, with the benne (we call them sesame) seeds on top a nice touch.
The pork ribs starter was meager at two regular-sized ribs and a runt, but the sweet/hot glaze along with a little crumble of peanuts stuck to the top was a winner. It felt a little awkward to eat ribs in such a nice restaurant – the only correct way to eat ribs is primally – but Husk prepared them in a way I hadn’t had them before, with plenty of bark on the top and texture contrast from the peanuts that, now that I’ve had it, I’ll miss the next time I have plain ol’ smoked ribs.
I also ate two meals at Fido, one lunch and one breakfast. The latter happened when I called an audible; Buster Olney, who doesn’t like to talk about it much but actually went to Vanderbilt, recommended the Pancake Pantry, which unfortunately had a line at least 40 deep at 8:20 on that Saturday morning. Fido’s my favorite quick spot in Nashville, though, with a little of everything, cooked to order but served fast, including really good hash browns, and just a great lively vibe about the place. They also have a huge list of specials that is usually where I find my order, although on this trip I ordered off the menu twice as they had a lot of dishes with spinach, which I unfortunately can’t eat.
I’ve covered Nashville before, but if you want to read about The Catbird Seat, City House, the Pharmacy, or Rolf & Daughters, check out those earlier posts.
Nashville and New Orleans eats.
Moving on to Louisiana, my destination was Baton Rouge but I detoured into New Orleans to have lunch at Cochon, recently named by Bon Appetit as one of the country’s twenty most important restaurants – it was an odd conceit and an odder list – and very widely regarded for the things they do with pig. I was early enough to snag a seat at the chef’s bar, a half-dozen stools at a counter that looks into the kitchen, and which came with a bonus dish – their house-made head cheese, served traditionally with whole-grain mustard and lightly pickled onions. Before I realized that was coming, I also ordered their fried boudin (a Cajun sausage that includes pork, pork livers, and rice, in this case rolled into balls and fried), the pork cheek terrine (served warm, with blistered tomatoes and a very mild vinaigrette on top), and the lima beans side dish that included, of course, more pork. The terrine was the best dish, with the meat very tender and a little more loosely formed than a typical cold terrine made with ground pork, and the acidity perfectly balanced against the soft, rich texture of the pork; the boudin was my least favorite, mostly because frying something that already contains so much fat makes it incredibly heavy, and the liver ended up just slightly grainy, not something I’m used to from pork liver. The dish I didn’t order, but wish I’d had room for, was the rabbit and dumplings, which I saw go into the wood-fired oven in front of me several times over the course of a half-hour or so.
Nashville eats, 2012 edition.
Our first big group dinner was Monday night at City House, one of the most-recommended restaurants in Nashville by those of you who live there, and one of the most enjoyable meals I have ever had when you combine the food and the company at the table. Because of the size of our party, we were served family-style, which had the benefit of allowing us to all try more items. I thought two items really stood out above everything else: the belly ham pizza and the bread gnocchi. We tried all four pizzas on the menu, with the anchovy pizza the only disappointment, but the belly ham pizza with fresh mozzarella, oregano, and a pretty healthy dose of red chili flakes was incredible, from the light, almost cracker-like crust to the bacon-like pork to the bright, creamy cheese. The gnocchi, without potato as traditional gnocchi would have, were the best I’ve ever eaten (caveat: potato gnocchi don’t thrill me) and are served with a scant tomato sauce, braised pork butt, and grana padano (essentially Parmiggiano-Reggiano from cows near but not in that specific region). That’s the dish everyone was talking about the next morning. The octopus starter everyone’s joked about was just fair, cooked correctly (that is, not till it was a spare tire) but still not that pleasant a texture and without the powerful flavors to stand up to the fish. I loved the rigatoni with rabbit sugo and fennel, kind of like a duck ragout with big flavors from the aromatics and tomato. That night’s special dessert was a chocolate-peanut butter pie that would put Reese’s out of business.
On the way to the airport I made a detour to revisit Arnold’s Country Kitchen, a meat-and-three place that seems to rate as Nashville’s best and where I had a great meal back in 2007. The meats change every day as do about half of the sides available; Thursday’s options included roast beef, while mashed potatoes and turnip greens (with ham hock) appear to always be options. One of the special sides that day was fried green tomatoes, about four-inch discs breaded with seasoned bread crumbs and quickly deep-fried. They’re not good for you – none of this is – but the salty-sour combo was surprisingly satisfying. For dessert, they offered four different kinds of pies plus a few other options. The hot pepper chocolate pie wasn’t very popular but I’d gladly eat that again – the filling had the texture of a dense mousse and the flavor of half-cooked brownies, and once you finished a bite, a warm heat took over from what I assume was cayenne pepper. A meat, three sides, bread (which I skipped), dessert, and a drink ran about $13 and I was full for the whole flight back to Arizona.
* The meal began with quarter-sized ‘oreos’ made of a parmiggiano cream or mousse sandwiched between two slices of porcini mushrooms, producing a gustatory dissonance as my palate kept expecting sweet. The point of this starter, other than just being playful, became evident later on.
* Third course was a soup of roasted sunchoke and caramelized yogurt, poured tableside over a quarter of an artichoke heart, shaved roasted fennel, black olive, black garlic, and a tiny bit of black truffle. Cooked yogurt is very much not my friend, but the texture of the soup was unreal, like double cream, and the roasted sunchokes gave it the appearance of a rich light-brown roux with hints of sweetness and a nutmeg-like spice.
* Sixth course was a large medallion of rare “Wagyu” beef ribeye with roasted Belgian endive, little spheres of Asian pear, roasted maitake mushroom, and walnut butter. This was by far the most generous portion of the night, but a little tricky to eat with all the components in one bite, in part because the beef, while tender, wasn’t quite that “like butter” consistency I’d expect from that particular cut. (There’s also a lack of labelling standards for “Wagyu” beef, but I’ll trust that the Catbird Seat is at least buying very high-quality inputs.) Getting a sphere of anything the size of a large marble on to the fork with four other elements is nearly impossible, even though the fruit’s mild sweetness was a perfect complement to the various savory elements. Great ideas here, but perhaps not fully executed.
For dessert, I had a slice of flourless chocolate-espresso torte with a raspberry coulis. The coulis was excellent and the texture of the torte was great, but it could have been darker. They get big points for having a wide selection of loose-leaf teas.

BALTIMORE (Oct. 7) — Female Health Co. has developed a nitrile latex female condom targeted primarily for developing countries outside the U.S. where price is an issue.
The firm´s second-generation FC2 Female Condom, made of nitrile rather than polyurethane, can be obtained in bulk for as little as 22 cents a unit, FHC said, vs. 72 cents for the FC1 PU condom.
The new option "w," said Mary Ann Leeper FHC.
The nitrile rubber versionC, the firm said.
FHC disclosed the development at a summit in Baltimore on use and availability of condoms for women. At that summit, Leeper is made available at the lowest possible price.
Leeper also presented findings of a study by D showed that at low levels of use,$. The study looked only at Brazil and South Africa.
At high levels of use, $66.9 million in HIV-related health care costs a year, the study said.


Why isn’t CB 11 Hosting this Pelham Parkway meeting?
November 11, 2021 3:45 PM·
Why is the $139 Million Dollar Pelham Parkway Reconstruction Project Being Hosted By a Small Community Group, and Not Community Board 11?
Several months later Jeremy Warneke the District Manager of CB 11 would ask Ms. Joanna Rojas the consultant on this project (who is getting paid by the city), If the Task Force should be reinstated by CB 11, since there were many questions about the work being done, and the fact that Con Edison had gone right through the reconstructed new Westbound roadbed with a thirty inch gas line leaving a six foot depression in the new now split roadbed. It was well known that Con Edison had to go through Pelham Parkway with its gas line which, like the new forty-eight inch water supply line, were for future development in CB 10 and CB 11. Ms. Rojas told DM Warneke there was no need for restarting the task force, that she would answer any questions anyone had. I asked several questions one about the section of the parkway between White Plains Road and Boston Road,even after new larger water pipes were installed next to the existing ones, not getting answers.
It seems that a small community organization outside of the construction area also had complaints as work was being done that was not on the original plans. Ms. Rojas has arranged to meet with this small group to discuss the project, and only a small part of the community board area has been invited. One might call this an illegal meeting, since such a meeting must be directed through the community board since the project runs from one end of Pelham Parkway to the other in CB 11, and not just in one small part of the board area. I haveto how a $139 Million Dollar project (before cost overruns) is being done with no community oversight. Why the parkway reconstruction was done knowing full well that Con Edison was going to go right through the roadway, thus now leaving a six foot section of the roadway that has no concrete foundation, just compacted sand which already has shifted causing a dip in that section from the heavy traffic and buses, along with several other items that are listed including the disbanding of the Task Force.
This section (six feet across) of the westbound Pelham Parkway taken before the asphalt road was put on it has no concrete foundation, and a thirty inch gas line underneath in the sand which has already shifted.

e.
o. the second Rabin government was working in the U.S. on the stationing of an American force on the Golan Heights, as part of a possible peace plan with Syria, Netanyahu rushed to Capitol Hill in order to disrupt a plan by the elected government. Netanyahu also made egregious use of his parliamentary immunity to expose the “Shtauber Document” – the Israeli plan setting out the concessions that Israel was prepared to make. An ordinary citizen who played a trick like that would have been made to disappear and prosecuted for high treason after months in a court proceeding held in camera. The document was a “wet dream” for Syrian intelligence. And it’s precisely for this purpose that members of the Knesset have immunity: so that they can expose confidential information that embarrasses their government, if it promotes policies to which their constituents are opposed. It is clear that there are Israeli government policies (and IDF policies – Shtauber was a brigadier general who prepared the document for the chief of staff) that it is legitimate to oppose.
Now let’s move on to the document itself. On page six, the first page in the section, “IDF’s indictment on war crimes,” we have a slide of Naomi Hazan, the then president of the NIF, who, it transpired, was the signatory of a petition against the IDF’s ongoing killing in the Gaza Strip during Operation Cast Lead, a petition which said, “we seek to bring an immediate halt to the assault by the Israeli army in Gaza, which has already caused hundreds of deaths. This carnage can only inflame the strife.” This may be a sentiment with which Im Tirtzu disagrees, but I don’t understand where this gives us a charge of war crimes. And by the way, Im Tirtzu reignites the flames when it translates the original word “slaughter” in the petition to “carnage,” when a more acceptable translation would have been “killing” or “destruction”; but when considering the other distortions in the report, this is small-time.
Immediately thereafter, on page seven, Im Tirtzu repeats the calumny against “Yesh Din” (full disclosure – I write a paid blog for them), writing that Yesh Din – ostensibly – “is planning to attribute the term ‘war crimes’ to IDF’s activity.” I have already referred to this here extensively. Let me briefly point out three things: first of all, you need to be living in a fantasy world to think that the IDF is not committing war crimes – war crimes are an outcome of every war. Second, the Yesh Din report talks about the absence of legislation for war crimes in the IDF, and not “ascribing war crimes to IDF’s activities”; and thirdly, our recommendations were penned almost word for word by the Turkel Commission, for which we are reluctantly bound to thank Ben-Dror Yemini.
Further down, on page eight, Im Tirtzu introduces its sources, one of which is unexpected. It transpires that Oaccuses Israel of war crimes. How is this related to the New Israel Fund? It isn’t. They call it guilt by association.
And more. On page ten, there is a quote from Adv. Michael Sfard (full disclosure: he is the legal advisor to Yesh Din and a friend). The quote says: “war crimes are international crimes …. international law is binding on all countries in the world to investigate and to prosecute them if there is enough evidence …. if it isn’t Israel, then England, if not the Supreme Court then the House of Lords.” According to Im Tirtzu, “this can be understood as bringing charges against IDF officers overseas.”
First of all, it isn’t clear what’s wrong with that. I guess that even Im Tirtzu would admit that if a crime has been committed, then the criminal should get his just desert. But moreover, this is a distortion of what Sfard said. Anyone who bothers to look at the original text will be surprised to discover that the subtitle to the article is “a proper investigation of war crimes in Israel could save claims overseas,” and the article concludes with the following words: “for as long as the Military Advocate General and judges in Israel do not understand that the proper moral course to take and the right thing to do from a patriotic perspective is to conduct a proper investigation of the events which could give rise to the suspicion that war crimes have been committed, and to fully implement the law against those responsible, then IDF officers will be more and more compelled to spend their leave at the Zavitan River and in Eilat.” Surely no one could seriously argue with this section!? But Im Tirtzu does want to argue and they want to start a chorus of “he said war crime!”
Let’s continue. On page 11 Yishai Menuhin says very similar things: “from here we call on the soldiers of the IDF – do not take part in war crimes! and anyone who does take part will answer for it in court. If not in Israel then overseas.” Again, what’s the problem? Is it that Im Tirtzu wants to make the opposite call to IDF soldiers – “do take part in war crimes?”
On page 12 makes note of the fact that the director-general of Adalah, Hassan Jabareen, sent an opinion to a Spanish court in which he submitted a claim against a series of senior members of the IDF. And …..? What does that tell us? It’s not clear. Im Tirtzu refers to another of its reports that quotes the opinion, but again it’s not clear what’s wrong with the opinion apart from the fact that it was submitted to a court outside Israel. It seems that this is some sort of crime. But it later transpires that approaching an Israeli court is also a sort of crime. And again, on page 12, we see that senior BDS activists consider that Israel is committing war crimes. How is this connected to the New Israel Fund? There is no connection.
Im Tirtzu doesn’t bother to explain. It is clear, from their point of view, that the very wish to impose an embargo on Israel or on the settlements is, as far as they are concerned, a crime. What’s funny here is the attribution: Spiro is described as “a past member of the auditing committee of “Physicians for Human Rights.” Really?! People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!
Erez Tadmor is one of the founders of Im Tirtzu. Tadmor is a felon who was convicted of stealing weapons from the IDF – allegedly to protect his settlement in the event of attack. If that’s the case, it isn’t clear why he also stole explosive materials. According to Im Tirtzu’s logic with regard to Spiro, all of the organization’s members are felons and supporters of crime because their founder is a convicted felon.
On the next page, Im Tirtzu returns to the charge against Israel Social TV. I have dealt with this here.
On page 16 “Breaking the Silence” is charged with “reinforcing the basis for the campaigns for boycott, withdrawal of investments and sanctions” through “repeated accusations of ‘war crimes’ and ‘violations of international law’” – charges which Im Tirtzu has never tried to deny, because it cannot do so. This is probably the strangest charge in the report. Breaking the Silence isn’t in favor of boycotting Israel, but actually noting the fact that Israel is committing war crimes is already supporting a boycott. Unbelievable!
The next section deals with “legal activity against the State of Israel.” The first example of such activity, on page 18, was an appeal for habeas corpus against the government, to oblige it to say where and for what it was holding the Gaza flotilla detainees.
Further down, on page 19, another “legal action against the State of Israel” is introduced: an appeal against the destruction of a terrorist’s house, i.e. a demand to punish only the perpetrator of a crime and not his family, is said to be an action against the State of Israel, which puts Im Tirtzu in the position of claiming that collective punishment measures be taken as the normative route and any deviation from that norm is itself a crime.
On page 20 Im Tirtzu introduces the fact that several human rights organizations have appealed against the ban on Shawan Jabarin leaving the West Bank, based on confidential evidence against him which has never been reviewed by legal processes, as another “legal action” against the Israeli military dictatorship – which is reserving its right to deny Jabarin a basic human right without trial and without him being able to defend himself against charges being brought against him by the secret police.
On the same page, the report reaches a new low: Im Tirtzu scribbles something about the Russell Tribunal and after that makes it clear that “the Russell Tribunal for Palestine is not connected to the New [Israel] Fund.” So what’s the connection? Nothing. Perhaps some mud will stick!
In the section “Creating international pressure on Israel,” Im Tirtzu claims (page 22) that daily Maariv published an item stating that “more than 90 percent of the derogatory information given to the Goldstone Committee …… originated from 16 organizations that are supported by the New Israel Fund.” Apart from the fact that Im Tirtzu has never rebutted this information, in this instance it is carrying out an exercise in fraud: the item published in Maariv was its report, by its “useful idiot” Ben Caspit (recently denounced by Ronen Shuval as an anti-Zionist). The “idiot” did what was required of him, now he can go. I hope Caspit is satisfied.
In the section on “Cancelling the Jewish State’s right to exist,” Im Tirtzu tells the customary lie regarding the statement by Hedva Radonavitz. On the next page, 27, Im Tirtzu quotes Avraham Burg: “the next political formula replacing two states for two peoples will be a civil formula. Each person between the Jordan and the sea will between the Jordan and the sea there will be one country only – not ours and not theirs, but rather one that is shared.” Just a minute. Does Im Tirtzu disagree with Burg’s basic concept? Do they think that there are two populations between the Jordan and the sea of which one does not? Because if that’s the case, they are giving support to the claim that Israel is an apartheid state. And that means that they are adopting the central claim of the “de-legitimization movement” and of the BDS and I would therefore expect them to fade away in a cloud of logic. Not that they are capable of doing that.
And finally, on page 28, Im Tirtzu claims that 67 percent of those who signed the Haifa Declaration in 2007, were “[NIF] employees or senior members of its organizations.” There is insufficient proof of that andbelieve it without proof. Im Tirtzu’s wording here is interesting: it writes that the Haifa Declaration “was intended to change the character of the State of Israel from Jewish to democratic.” It transpires from this that the State of Israel is not democratic and that Im Tirtzu is alarmed by the prospect of it becoming so. Anyone who recalls that until Adi Elkin pointed that out, Im Tirtzu’s original declaration of intent referred to Israel as the “Jewish State,” and that’s all, should not be surprised.
So that’s what Im Tirtzu is capable of today: an accumulation of puzzling lies that are easily refuted (this post took me two hours), none of which is less than three years old. Relentlessly regurgitating past days of glory when “useful idiots” like Ben Caspit used to raise the organization’s profile. Isn’t it a shame that the money is wasted? Wouldn’t it be possible to transfer the money to someone who could actually make some proper use of it?
The New Israel Fund for example.
ronen shoval
I dated a girl in Im Tirtzu for 3 months. The mooks there don’t have a single logic gate in their neural networks. Everything is ‘against Israel! Waaaaa!’
To her credit, she did visit my friend’s West Bank village with me, and seemed to at least ascribe personhood to Palestinians.
There is no problems with citizens saying whatever they want. There is a problem with citizens being sponsored by foreign governments to interfere in domestic politics. Which of the individuals mentioned are not collecting a salary from an organization that receives the overwhelming majority of their budgets from foreign governments and their associated charities, including the author of the article? There is an unpleasant name for such a role as well…
i’ll tell you the same thing i told the im tirtzu girl. im tirtzu, ngo monitor, kkl, etc. ALSO receive a lot of money from abroad. what makes these organizations different? they also ‘interfere with domestic politics.’
Thanks for standing up against AIPAC, at last….

I'm pretty excited about this year's Real Diaper Week! It's actually my first time to participate. I had previously cloth diapered N during the day but used disposables for her during the night and when we went out. With E, I researched more, and was more experienced and currently cloth diapering him 24/7 plus we use cloth wipes, to boot!
Real Diaper Week is scheduled from 16 - 21 April 2012 and this website has specific information on daily activities for the week to promote the use of real (cloth diapers). The culminating activity is the Great Diaper Change which seeks to beat Guinness World Book of Records for the most nappies changed at the same time. However, it is scheduled on 21 April 2012, 930am PDT which is 22 April 2012, 1230am OUR TIME. Since I'm a mom of 2 young kids and need my sleep, I'm not even going to attempt to join (much less organize) it this year. Clarice and I are in talks to organize one next year though - although hopefully, my little E will be toilet-trained by then!
My purpose in celebrating Real Diaper Week is to promote the use of cloth diapers and to show how easy and simple it is. With N, I was quite intimidated with the thought of cloth diapering - which was why she was only semi-cloth diapered. However, I got to talk to moms (yes, Clarice , that's you!), read information and forums on how simple and easy it was to cloth diaper 24/7, even a breastfed baby with wet poo! We are now cloth diapering E 24/7 and I'm hoping to promote its use to more Filipino moms!
*Update: Drop off point in (1) San Antonio Village, Makati or (2) West Ave. Quezon City. Please email me if you'd like to drop off diapers those areas so I can send you directions/addresses.
Are you a cloth diapering enthusiast and want to help? You can do so by asking a pregnant or non-cloth diapering friend to attend the Cloth Diapers 101 talk. You can also donate your old diapers for the cloth diaper drive. If you have a blog, you can join our blog carnival! Meanwhile, if you are a vendor, maybe you can hold some sort of promotion on your respective sites during the Real Diaper Week. On my part, I'm going to be giving away my extra copy of Changing Diapers book so watch out for it!
Do you have any suggestions or comments? Drop me a line!
I love cloth diapering and I hope we can have the Great Cloth Diaper Change here as well. How can I join your blog carnival?
I hope more moms will also embrace cloth diapering, I switched to cloth diapers when I read that disposables can cause breathing problems because of the off-gassing. Go, go cloth diapers!

Everybody seems to have Snapchat right now, but apart from cool filters and instant messenger features, what else is interesting about this app? Check out the top ten facts below!
According to recent statistics, a staggering 93% of Snapchat users have sent a picture to somebody else of their drink! Over 60% sent pictures of people they don’t even know.
It’s been beaten only by Facebook.
Snapchat has become so popular now that Facebook is the only rival which can beat it. Snapchat regularly ranks at number 2, just behind our favourite social networking app.
Snapchat users went slightly crazy in 2015 when the ‘best friends’ feature was taken away. Prior to this update, users could see the best friends of other users. 64% of people still want the ‘best friends’ list to come back.
As of 2016, there are over 7 billion pictures and videos which are viewed every single day by Snapchat users. This amount increased from 2 billion in May 2015.
Filters are one of the most popular features.
Facebook really wants Snapchat…
Mark Zuckerberg first offered a billion dollars for Snapchat, but when he was declined, he came back with a $3 billion offer. Rejected once again, he returned the next day, promising a cheque for $4 billion. His offer wasn’t accepted.

lol. Honestly I would too, then I would make an app like Snapchat, but better.

I think if the owners of Snapchat returned in the past the would totally accept Mark’s offer.

ting of the start line.
Remember my attitude coming in? So, I figured, ok, the hard part is over. It’s literally all down hill from here. My legs are feeling the pain but I’m not injured and I’m not super sore and heck ya I can do this! (p.s. I was sooooo wrong for thinking it was that easy… the hard part was much further away)
Then I see a sign. Albeit a misspelled sign but I got the message. “Be safe fast decent”
this is a link to a video of the three sisters
I had dinner that night with some of the race volunteers. The Sag driver told me “I sagged one of the contributors of Bicycle magazine!! Take that to the bank!” another bike coach told me “I’ve done over 30 century rides in my life and never once have I seen one this difficult.”

General Description The Fray Jorge Biosphere Reserve comprises the Fray Jorge, Talinay and Punta del Viento National Parks, situated in the IVth Region, Limari Province, north of Santiago. It extends along the range of mountains forming the Cordillera de la Costa which extends between the River Elqui in the north to the Aconcagua in the south and includes coastal plains and mountainous hinterland. It is situated between formations of scrub and semi-desert coastal steppes on the one side, and tree and shrub formations of the Cordillera de la Costa on the other. The most important feature of this Biosphere Reserve is the presence of the most northerly forest in Chile. The Fray Jorge forests are green 'oases' surrounded by semi-arid lands. They have some features in common with the hygrophilous forests in the south. The Biosphere Reserve shelters almost all the mediterranean species typical of Chile. Among the great variety of birds are partridge (Nothoprocta perdicaria), meadow lark (Sturnella loyca), goldfinch (Diuca diuca), and mockingbird (Mimus thenca).There are relatively few mammal species, the most noteworthy being the fox (Dusicyon culpaeus). The core area of the Biosphere Reserve has remained in its natural state. There is no evidence of farming, intensive stock raising or exploitation of the forest even though there has been some introduction of livestock in the transition area. However, in Las Chinchillas there has been excessive grazing, felling of trees and coal mining. Over 752 people (1999) live in the buffer zone, mainly engaged in agriculture and cattle raising. A development plan for tourism has been made for camping and picnic areas, an education centre and tourist information. Priority has been given to research projects relating to management programmes.

I absolutely love Thanksgiving. Many of you that know me already knew I would start off like that. It’s my favorite Holiday. For me it is the start of the Holiday season. It’s not about shopping and gift giving — it’s And while it’s also a time to give thanks it’s also a time to pray and/or hope for those we lost and those less fortunate who are struggling.
It’s also important for us to be grateful for the food on our table. How lucky are we all to be able to sit around a table filled with family, friends, love, laughter and a beautiful turkey with all the trimmings.
So let’s plan for our TURKEY AND TRIMMINGS! It doesn’t matter if you do or do not like Thanksgiving food. As you may have heard me mention Thanksgiving is more than one day. It’s a 5 day social weekend where the average person gains 10-12lbs from start to finish. It starts Wednesday night and ends Sunday night. And if you don’t have a plan you are going to wake up a very unhappy person Monday Morning. So let’s talk about our Plans and Tips….
TIP: Whether you are cheating Thanksgiving or not – One of the best tips I can give you for Thanksgiving Day is to stay on program and go off dinner, dessert, drinks. Don’t starve yourself all day because if you do that you won’t be able to control yourself when you finally sit down. Instead follow your on program meals of Breakfast and Lunch or Breakfast and Snack and then go into your Thanksgiving dinner hungry but not starving.
5 HOUR FAST: Unless you are on the 5 hour fast. If you are on the 5 hour fast you are already used to only eating in that time period and your body already knows how to control it. So if you are on the 5 hour fast stick to your 5 hours and make them to your Thanksgiving schedule.
NAVIGATE THE TABLE: Regardless whether you are doing the Signature Innovation or the 5 hour fast – When it comes to the food I would have your turkey and then take 1 large tablespoon or 1 small portion of everything else you like that is on the table. Sometimes you will find tasting them is enough. You can always go back for more of what you really liked. But if you fill your plate with everything you will most likely eat it all even if you end up not being crazy about something to begin with. Mentally we tend to finish what is on the plate whether you love it or not. So do not give yourself that option. Instead take a small portion or TBSP of everything you do like – try it and if you really want more go back for it or you might be very satisfied with what you had and be done and feel good. Same goes for the desserts.
WEIGHT LOSS: If you want to continue on your weight loss journey and continue to lose weight over the Thanksgiving weekend then you will either use Thanksgiving as your cheat day and do the rest of the week and weekend on program. OR you will be 100% on Thanksgiving and have turkey and veggies and have your cheat day on your regular weekend day that you choose. This is very doable. You can eat out and still be on program. You can have a drink and still be on program. So if you want to stay on program and continue to lose weight you can do this. Always remember you are 100% in control of your results.
MAINTAIN: NO Exercise: If you are okay with maintaining you can do 2 cheat meals and desserts. You simply pick two days— For example: Thanksgiving dinner and Saturday night and you only cheat dinner and dessert or dinner and drinks on those two nights. The rest of the day and the rest of the weekend is 100% on program. If you do this you will maintain this weekend and that is fantastic if you are okay with maintaining.
WEIGHT LOSS: If you do everything I just listed for PLAN 2 above; but you add in at least 60 min of cardio each day then you have a really good chance of still losing this weekend. So basically it’s 2 Cheat meals with desserts or drinks and incorporate 60 min of cardio each day and you will see weight loss at your next weigh in.
After the weekend the most important thing is to get right back on program. Because if you stick to your plan any new weight will be gone in a day or two and you can start losing again. The worst thing you can do is get into the mindset that Thanksgiving is once a year and you will be missing out if you don’t over indulge each day all weekend. I see it with clients all the time they want to lose weight but they don’t want to put the planning and work in to make it happen. You have choices. If you stick to one of the plans above and use the Healthy Tip – I promise you will come out of this weekend – feeling great and very grateful.
This week we have been focusing on NOT PLAYING THE VICTIM IN OUR OWN LIFE. To me that is such a powerful statement that we sometimes forget we have power over. That it’s actually up to us how we choose to use our energy in the challenges that we have. Do we play victim or are we leaders.
When I say to a client stop playing the victim in your life they always respond with a questionable look – Like what are you talking about – but then within seconds they realize what I am saying and what they are doing. They are playing the victim in their own life. It’s a realization that is something we don’t always want to see about ourselves. And it’s certainly not easy to admit or even say out loud. Because the answer determines who we are. When we play victim we blame others but when we are leaders we take the responsibility. It’s two different types of people that only you can decide who you are and which person you want to be.
A VICTIM – is when something is done and it wasn’t your choice. But playing the victim – is when you choose to live your life based on that bad experience. Not playing the victim is when you look at the bad experience and think – I didn’t like it and I wished it wouldn’t have happened but I have to believe I was meant to go through it because it was a learning experience for me or an opportunity to grow in some way. That takes you out of playing the victim. Now understand this in no way has anything to do with those who victimize you. They have to deal with their own Karma. Whether it’s today or tomorrow it will always come around to them. So don’t put your energy into them. The universe will do it for you. Let go – Let God.
Most of the time we don’t even realize we are playing the Victim. This could be in any part of your life it doesn’t matter whether it’s weight, family, career. Think about the words you say to yourself. They made me; I couldn’t walk away; I had no choice; I have no time…. It can go on and on. When I say I have heard it all I really have. But when I switch the roles and I put the realization on you to stop playing the victim. — Yes you can walk away, you do have time, and you do have choices – in fact not only do you have choices – you are the person who is writing your own story. It is then that we see our life in a whole different light.
Of course this will only work if you want to change. Many times we play the victim in our life because we don’t want to put the energy in to make the changes that need to be made. You see whether you are playing the victim or you are playing the leader — how you use your energy is going to make the biggest difference how you live your life. And that difference could be good or bad depending on which way you choose.
Think about the people around you. Who would you consider a person who plays the victim. Now think about the energy he/she brings into the room, into conversations. Even if you love them or love spending time with them – a person who plays the victim always has a negative tone of what happened to them or how someone did them wrong and why they can’t accomplish something – it’s never their fault. You feel the negativity in the room and depending on the person and the energy it can sometimes be exhausting to be with them.
Now think about your own life – what kind of energy do you manifest. What kind of energy do you distribute into a room, your family, friends, and universe. We all have challenges and bad experiences. Some worse than others. But how you learn from them, and how you use the energy from that learning is going to determine not only who you are as a person but also how you write the story of your own life.
 Sometimes I think we forget that we dictate how we live.
Every single day you write your story and you not only write the story you can change it at any time. The job you work in, the weight you are, the health you are Yes of course therebut there are so many things about your life that you are in charge of as long as you put the work in.
So from this point on I want you to demand the best from yourself, raise the bar and push yourself, and stay consistent. We can get easily distracted and lose focus on our goals, but i’m telling you if you don’t demand the best from yourself no one is going to do it for you. You must get up everyday and write the story you want to live. You are not the victim you are the lead role in your life and you will learn from your experiences and you will put good energy into your body, mind, family and universe. You will keep moving forward everyday knowing the you want more and deserve the best life possible. You are willing to work hard and put the effort in everyday. I really believe we are all capable of achieving anything, ityou want to be.
