Timmermans defends green recovery costs as EU returns to work
World Wildlife Fund warns EU on complicity in Amazon fires; Norway's Arctic drilling plan branded risky by experts
(Stephen Rae is the former Group Chief Editor of INM, Ireland’s largest online and print media group. He serves on the board of the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and was previously on the board of the World Editors Forum. He was appointed by the European Commission to its High Level Expert Group on Online Disinformation.)
DUBLIN (Callaway Climate Insights) — The EU eased back to work this week after a tumultuous August that saw the union lose its formidable trade commissioner, Phil Hogan to a golfing scandal, and as its top environmental leaders pledged to spend more on a green recovery.
It has left the Commission bruised, although it’s clear that President Ursula von der Leyen is showing no regrets over Hogan's resignation and has strongly intimated to the Irish Government she would like a woman to replace the respected negotiator. Hogan stepped down over so-called “Golfgate,” after he became embroiled in controversy over attending an Irish parliamentary golf outing in breach of quarantine guidelines. It is highly unlikely Ireland will retain the trade portfolio — bad news for the small country which will feel the harshest effects of a likely no-deal Brexit.
Von der Leyen’s college of commissioners met Wednesday in Brussels, where the three executive vice presidents set out their goals ahead of von der Leyen making her State of the European Union address later this month. The agenda was broken into three broad areas: green, digital and economic recovery. One of the EVPs is commissioner for the European Green Deal, Frans Timmermans, who is adamant that the bloc’s proposed higher climate objectives “makes even more sense now” in the wake of Covid-19.
Speaking earlier this week, Timmermans pledged that Europe will continue in its quest toward climate neutrality by 2050 and added that “very soon we will propose new emissions targets for 2030.” Timmermans announced new policy proposals will be brought forward in the coming months, including an offshore energy plan to increase the use of renewable energy systems such as offshore wind.
These proposals will be published in conjunction with an impact assessment on the economic costs and benefits of increasing the bloc’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a 40% decrease on 1990 levels to 50% or 55%.
These proposals will come on the back of a letter published on July 13 by six eastern EU countries who warned that “the impact assessment should be realistic.”
The environment ministers of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia added: “We are experiencing a global pandemic that will not end soon and there might be others to come. This is no longer business as usual, so neither the IA (impact assessment) should be.”
Timmermans was critical of their appraisal, saying: “The cost of climate action may be high but it is dwarfed by the cost of inaction.” He was keen to stress the importance of the EU Green Deal and said it was “Europe’s new growth strategy.” and that economic growth and environmental policies “go hand in hand.”
Following on from the summit of EU leaders in July and their approval of a long-term EU budget and post-Covid recovery plan, the EU plans to spend €1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion) on rebuilding the economy, but with 30% of that earmarked for climate action. Timmermans stressed that the funds must be spent “responsibly.”
His refrain through the pandemic has been the mistakes of the previous financial crisis in which money was spent on the present rather than protecting the future — and he returned to that theme this week. The money would be “borrowed from the next generation,” and “spending it on their future instead of on our past is a moral imperative and a matter of economic good sense,” he chided.
Timmermans warned that “it’s just bad economics, why spend money to keep things as they are when you know you will require money again to change them in the near future?”
As reported in Callaway Climate Insights last week, the Dutchman said one of the major changes to the current assessment of climate goals is that “the increased target in the range of 50 to 55% is doable” and that it can “underpin sustainable economic growth.” He urged member states to agree that “increasing our ambition, especially now, makes sense” and that “holding off now because we cannot afford it for the moment is the surest way to not being able to afford it in the future either.”
. . . .
A leading director of the World Wildlife Fund has urged the EU to reassess its involvement in the Amazon fires, amid comments that the bloc must face “responsibility” for soy trade.
A director of the WWF’s EU office, Ester Asin, warned that Europe needs to introduce a “strong law” for European consumers to be “confident” that the production of their food “does not fuel the horrendous fires we witness every year in the Amazon.”
Asin argued that as a result of the EU’s increasing demand for imported soy to feed the bloc’s livestock, it is contributing to “long-term destruction in the Amazon” and added: “It doesn’t directly strike the match to start the fires, but Europe does hold sway over how many matches are in the box.”
The author detailed that once sections of the Amazon have been burnt, cattle are moved onto the land to graze and following a number of years, the owner of the livestock can claim tenure and legally sell off the land to “big agribusinesses who can convert the land to soy production.”
This practice has resulted in “far-reaching consequences” for the “planet’s irreplaceable biodiversity,” as well as people’s homes, lives, water supplies and “the entire world” as “fires fuel climate change.”
Although currently there is an Amazon soy moratorium in place, which prevents soy grown on these news farms to access markets. The Brazilian government has openly favored its cessation and the “renewed expansion of Amazon soy farms,” which the author described as “fueled in part by EU market demand.”
. . . .
A controversial plan by Norway to drill for oil in untouched Arctic areas has been branded as one that threatens the area’s ecosystem and could result in rising military tensions with Russia.
Following a public consultation into the Norwegian expedition and exploration of nine oilfields in the Arctic, experts have labeled the move risky. They believe that the exploration could pose environmental and political risks, potentially fueling tensions between the country and other nations involved in a 100-year old treaty.
Ilan Kelman, a professor of risk, resilience and global health at UCL and Agder University in Norway, believes that the potential mission could “cause extensive damage” to the area, because “the Arctic is a very harsh place,” as reported by the Guardian.
Norway announced plans to explore the “ice edge,” an area south of Svalbard in June, something that Helge Ryggvik, oil historian at the University of Oslo, believes is pushing the limits. “In the recent ice-edge compromise, which redrew the zone, Norway is approaching the absolute limit of where oil exploration would be accepted by other nations.”

Rui Cóias poetry appeared in 2000, as a powerful and dense world, where real elements seem to float on a desolate landscape of silences and distances. The title of his first book, ‘The Geographer’s Function’, immediately signals the route of a journey whose spaces are shaped by time and memory and the landscape determines human actions.
Born and raised in Lisbon, Rui Cóias studied law at the University of Coimbra. He then returned to Lisbon to work as a lawyer for nine years, after which he left the profession. He is currently writing a PhD, after having studied Philosophy at a Lisbon university.
Poetry books since 2000:

When Ivan Doig died in 2015, we lost one of our best Western authors. Doig wrote a number of books and I’m pretty sure I’ve read them all. Several of them are listed among my favorites, including English Creek, Bucking the Sun, Mountain Time, The Bartender's Tale, and Last Bus to Wisdom.
But the one I find myself re-reading most often is Dancing at the Rascal Fair. It is the middle book of Doig’s trilogy featuring the McCaskill family but, chronologically speaking, it is the first story. Set at the tail end of the nineteenth century in the Two Medicine country of northern Montana, it introduces Angus McCaskill, who emigrates from Scotland with this friend Rob Barclay. It follows the men over some three decades as they build sheep ranches on the Montana frontier. They fight the elements, illness, and, at times, each other.
You’ll find adventure, violence, and romance in the pages of this remarkable book as it presents a realistic, hard-eyed look at life in the frontier West.
If you haven’t read Ivan Doig, it’s not too late to fill the gap.

While yesterday’s ceasefire is a sign of political progress, efforts to support the more than 50,000 South Sudanese refugees in Uganda remain grossly under resourced, and host communities are being pushed to the breaking point, Oxfam warned today.
In Northern Uganda’s Arua and Adjumani districts, more than 1,000 South Sudanese refugees—mostly women and children—arrive every day. Oxfam teams are witnessing acute shortages of clean drinking water, health facilities and basic sanitation. These gaps must quickly be filled in order to stem a growing public health risk to both the refugee community and the Ugandan villages that are hosting them.
Oxfam’s Country Director in Uganda, Peter Kamalingin, said, “Local communities in Arua and Adjumani have graciously hosted refugees from South Sudan in the past, but the sheer numbers that we are seeing today are cause for genuine concern. We need to do everything we can to redouble efforts to help refugees, while at the same time ensuring the communities hosting them have full access to water, health facilities, schools and food.”

Notes to Editors
- Oxfam is responding in partnership with Ugandan partner-organizations under the coordination framework of the Office of the Prime Minister of Uganda (OPM) and the UNHCR.

On March 29 Aicha Elbasri accepted the Ridenhour Truth-Telling Prize for 2015 at the National Press Club. Elbasri is the former spokesperson for the joint African Union/United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur (UNAMID), and the truth she told concerned that mission. UNAMID is poorly trained and badly equipped, faces escalating and overwhelming violence, and does not (and cannot) protect the population under its care, and the UN is concealing all these problems in order to retain the favor of a genocidal government in Khartoum.
In short, Elbasri is a whistleblower who, after months of harassment, resigned from her job with the UN in order to expose the truth about UNAMID in Darfur. And, she pointed out, Darfur is only one of many forgotten wars in central Africa.
Her speech last week coincided with the uprising in Baltimore provoked by the death of Freddie Gray, an unarmed African-American man who made eye contact with a police officer and then ran from him. These combined acts resulted in Gray's death from injuries inflicted on him during an illegal arrest. Ultimately, the attorney general for the state of Maryland charged six officers in the case, one of them, Cesar Goodson Jr., with depraved-heart murder.
The charge is both serious and rare, but its definition -- the deliberate perpetration of a knowingly dangerous act with reckless and wanton unconcern and indifference about whether anyone is harmed or not -- is chilling. The depraved-heart doctrine rests on the legal logic that, beyond a certain point, carelessness reaches a level of negligence equivalent to criminal culpability.
The same week that Elbasri spoke in Washington and Baltimore went up in flames, UN peacekeeping sustained another blow to its credibility: The Guardian reported that refugee children were routinely sodomized and raped by French troops deployed in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR), under the authority of UN Security Council Resolution 2127. And like Elbasri, Anders Kompass, the UN staff member who told the truth about the crimes, was punished. On April 17 he was suspended by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Geneva, where he worked.
Of all the UN officials involved in the sordid situation in the CAR -- those who sodomized the children, those who interviewed these victims, those who supervised the child molesters and those who saw the report and did nothing -- only the man who took immediate (effective) action to stop the abuse was penalized.
In a statement about the situation, a spokesman for Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the press that Kompass' action constituted "a serious breach of protocol," as if this were sufficient explanation for the suspension of the only UN official to take action in the face of pedophilia. To borrow a term from the Baltimore prosecutions, the secretary-general's statement betrays depravity.
The victims at Bangui were little boys; several were 9 years old, and they described their abusers in detail. Their accounts of what happened to them reveal that they were so innocent that they had no knowledge of what typically happens during a sex act. They were refugee children, forced by hunger and vulnerability to trust adults who were supposed to protect them but molested them instead.
Which brings to mind the depraved-heart doctrine with respect to the secretary-general and UN "protocols": reckless and wanton unconcern and indifference as to whether anyone is harmed or not.
It also raises the question: Exactly what are the protocols at the OHCHR for dealing with ongoing pedophilia? Typically, the OHCHR documents and reports. It's clear that in this situation, the faceless bureaucrats at Bangui followed protocol to the point of depravity. They documented and reported without regard for the perversity happening right in front of them to hungry children. Only Kompass took action.
In her speech last week in Washington, Elbasri sounded the alarm and made an assertion that linked Baltimore to Bangui: "Black lives matter in Africa too," she said. Just as there must be accountability for Freddie Gray, there must be accountability for the crimes committed in Africa by troops sent by the UN. Neither the secretary-general nor anyone else can hide behind the veil of protocol.
Bea Edwards is Executive & International Director of the Government Accountability Project, the nation's leading whistleblower-protection organization. She is also the author of The Rise of the American Corporate Security State.

IMDb: The Last King of Scotland
Wikipedia: The Last King of Scotland
(strong violence and gruesome images, sexual content and language)
Length: 123 minutes (2:03)
Director: Kevin Macdonald
Genre: Drama / History / Thriller
My Rating: 9 (of 10)
Family Friendly: Nope (nor is it for squeamish adults).
My reasons for seeing this film were my admiration for Forest Whitaker‘s previous work, and my recent kick of seeing modern history genre films, especially those dealing with South America, Africa, and Asia, subjects that weren’t much covered in my history classes in school.
I wasn’t disappointed.
Director Kevin Macdonald is mostly known for making documentaries, and it showed in this movie. The Last King of Scotland, inspired by real people and events, included fictional characters and events, but had the feel of a biographical film and a historical reenactment of real events.
Spectacular camera work, perfect background music, beautiful scenery, and superb acting all combined to make this movie a joy to watch.
It also kept me on the edge of my seat, in constant tension.
A larger than life character, brutal in his rule, Amin’s erratic personality was perfectly portrayed by Whitaker, who won the Best Actor Academy Award, a Golden Globe award, and an award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for this role.
Whitaker’s impressive body of work includes popular, wonderful and heart-felt films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Color of Money, Platoon, Good Morning Vietnam, The Crying Game, Blown Away, Species, Light it Up, Battlefield Earth, and quite a few hit TV series.
The Last King of Scotland makes all of Whitaker’s previous roles look like practice, as he fully immersed himself in the Amin character. If you watch real-life footage of Amin next to footage of Whitaker in character, you can believe that it’s the same person.
However, the story of the film is told from the perspective of giddy Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan, a fictional character portrayed by James McAvoy. Garrigan comes to Uganda to use his medical talents to help people, feeling a little stifled in his father’s business back home.
Quickly, he finds himself propelled into the role of Amin’s personal physician, where he has front row seats to all of Amin’s works as the head of state.
Even if you’re a little squeamish and have to close your eyes for a couple of scenes, this movie is brilliantly carried out, and as an authentic historical feel. It’s the kind of film that makes you want to read the history of a region.

Analyst: Irony In President Obama’s Request To Congress To Act Against Syria
What is that we are actually debating when it comes to action against Syria, a conflict or a war?
Frank Vernuccio, the editor in chief of the New York Analysis of Policy and Government, joined WIBX First News with Keeler in the Morning talk about the pending military action against Syria - for alleged use of chemical weapons - and explained his take on the irony of the whole situation.
Vernuccio said, in 2003, then-Senator Obama said weapons of mass destruction, primarily gas weapons, did not exist in Iraq. Shortly before the American invasion in Iraq, the Israeli secret service - The Mossad - photographed trucks leaving Baghdad, taking those weapons to Syria. Now, President Obama wants [the US] to go to war to prevent the use of these weapons, which Senator Obama said never existed in the first place.
Vernuccio notes more irony, in that Obama is seeking approval from Congress, something he's said he doesn't need.
''When the British parliament, in an historic vote, decided not follow along with [US] President Obama's plan, or lack of planning, actually, the President felt vulnerable and decided he needed the public relations protection of a congressional approval,''
''Former presidential adviser David Axelrod tweeter, Isn't this wonderful, If Congress approves and it goes right, the President can take credit. If it goes wrong, he can blame Congress,'' Vernuccio said.
The U.S. Senate will vote on Monday (SEPT. 9) to vote on the War Powers resolution regarding authorization to proceed.

Today Will Be Different, Maria Semple’s latest book, has been plucked for a TV adaption by Annapurna pictures. Following at the heels as star and co-producer is Julia Roberts, who will play the protagonist, Eleanor Flood.
The novel covers a day in the life of Flood, attempting to have the best day ever, but having her plans constantly derailed by circumstance and odd coincidence.
There is not yet a network attached to the adaption, but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the project will be spearheaded by Semple herself, who has worked previously as writer and producer for shows like Arrested Development and Suddenly Susan. Alongside Roberts, Semple and several others will operate as executive directors.
The Today Will Be Different TV adaption will be a first for Annapurna, which prior to the current project, focused solely on the big screen, behind titles like Her and Sausage Party to name a couple.
“I’m giddy that Eleanor Flood will be brought to life by Julia Roberts and am elated to collaborate with Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and the team at Annapurna on this endeavour” Semple told the Hollywood Reporter. “This will be a fun ride!”
Air date is still TBD, but stay tuned for more news on the TV debut!

A senior Munster player is self-isolating after coming into "close contact" with an academy player who tested positive for Covid-19.
The Irish province said the academy player "remains well".
Munster identified five academy players and one senior player as potential close contacts from social and household settings, and those players have already commenced self-isolating.
The Pro14 is set to resume on 22 August after being halted by the pandemic.
A statement by Munster said the player immediately self-isolated on development of symptoms on Sunday and the province will seek further guidance from Ireland's Health Service Executive.
As a result, neither the senior or academy squads trained on Thursday.
The senior squad will return to the High Performance Centre on Monday to complete the third phase of the IRFU's routine testing and resume preparations for the Pro14's resumption against Leinster at the Aviva Stadium on 22 August.
Test results will be released publicly in line with the process for phase one and two of these routine tests.
"The health and safety of our players and staff is the priority and that is why we are taking all precautions, going above and beyond, ensuring the safe resumption of training and rugby next week," said Dr Jamie Kearns, Munster's head of medical.
"There are protocols and policies in place that everyone has been following, and we will continue to be vigilant in all our efforts as we move closer to the return of rugby on Saturday week."

Stormzy to celebrate five years of #Merky Books at Hay Festival
Stormzy has been announced as part of the star-studded line-up at the 2023 Hay Festival in Wales.
The 29-year-old singer and rapper will celebrate five years since launching his own publishing imprint #Merky Books, a collaboration with Penguin Random House, with a “special event” during the festival.
The 36th edition of the literary event in Hay-on-Wye will take place from May 25 to June 4, with more than 500 in-person events set to take place over 11 days across eight stages in the festival village.

National Assembly Standing Committee members said Tuesday that a new Hanoi development plan might not be affordable and could hinder growth with measures to curb migration to the capital.
Head of the Finance and Budget Standing Committee Phung Quoc Hien questioned whether the municipal government would be able to afford the US$90 billion plan through 2050.
The Hanoi city government had been raking in an annual average income of some some VND70 trillion ($3.6 billion) over the last few years, Hien said. But even if the current 15-percent annual income growth rate continues, "would we be able to afford the new plan?" he asked.
He said Vietnam had not been saving any of its annual income in the state coffers as all funds were being spent on health, education and infrastructure.
Hien stressed that major upcoming nuclear projects and a high speed railway would be expensive and use up huge amounts of government funds.
The Economic Standing Committee also said that the government needed to consider that real construction costs would likely end up being be much higher than estimated by the time the projects are finished, as is commonplace in Vietnam.
The committe pointed out in a statement that infrastructure projects in Hanoi tended to spend up to 80 percent of their investment just on compensation paid to local people for site clearance.
For example, the city last month began construction of a 550-meter long road with a total investment of VND642 billion ($33.8 million), 91 percent of which was spent on compensation.
Hien also voiced his concerns over a stipulation in the plan that aims to restrict the migration of people of other provinces into the city between this year and 2020.
Vietnam wanted to become an industrial country in 2020, meaning that laborers from the countryside will need to move to urban areas, the official said, stressing that the plan may come into conflict with the objective.
Nguyen Van Thuan, chairman of the Laws Standing Committee, agreed with Hien.
He said that urban planners were under an "illusion" that Hanoi was an island that belonged only to Hanoians.
Spread too thin
Le Quang Binh, chairman of the National Defense and Security committee, meanwhile, didn't agree with measures in the plan that would set up a national administrative center around Ba Vi Mountain, some 60 kilometers from the city's center, while at the same time having many central political and administrative agencies stay in central Hanoi's Ba Dinh District.
All of Vietnam's political infrastructure should be local in the same area, he said.
Agreeing with Binh, Tran Dinh Dan, chairman of the National Assembly's Office, was also concerned about effects possibly caused by the separation on administration and management.
First prepared in December 2008, the master plan was put on display at an 11-day exhibition for public feedbacks last month . A survey among 6,700 visitors showed that most of them agreed with the plan, according to the Ministry of Construction's deputy minister Nguyen Dinh Toan.
The project was expected to be finalized and submitted to the upcoming National Assembly's session scheduled to open on May 20.


The car has been designed to be both faster and more affordable than the existing Lykan Hypersport. While just 7 units of the Hypersport are being produced, W Motors is intending on creating 25 units of the Fenyr Supersport annually. The new Fenyr SuperSport is the latest addition to the W Motors line-up of Hypercars focusing purely on performance, power and speed. Limited to only 25 units per year, the carbon fiber masterpiece perfectly balances advanced aerodynamics engineering with the aggressive W Motors aesthetics conceived by the W Motors internal design team.
Visually, the Fenyr Supersport bares similarities to the Lykan with its sharp and angular lines and menacing front fascia. That front end includes a gaping wide grille and triangular air intakes as well as HID headlights very similar to those from the Hypersport. From the sides, we can see centrelocking wheels, red brake calipers, eye-catching wheel arches and large air intakes feeding the mid-mounted engine. When viewed from above, the Supersport’s design is almost completely symmetrical.
Powering the W Motors Fenyr Supersport is the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre flat-six cylinder engine produced by RUF Automobile in Germany. This engine is found in the Hypersport as well but in the Supersport, power now sits at 900hp and 1200Nm of torque rather than 770hp. Thanks to these impressive figures, the Fenyr Supersport should accelerate to 100 km in less than 2.7 seconds as well as a top speed of over 400 km.
Another key selling point of the new supercar is that its entire body has been made from lightweight carbon fibre and is based around a lightweight tubular aluminium chassis. While no final weight figure has been released, there’s a chance it could weigh less than the 1380 kg Hypersport.
At the rear, it seems more refined than the Hypersport with simpler horizontal taillights, a bold diffuser and centrally exiting exhaust pipes. Lets put this simple, so no one gets a heart attack, this vehicle is priced at $1.85 million and the price can travel upwards as per the customers extra add-ons.
Middle Eastern supercar manufacturer W Motors has just introduced its second model dubbed the Fenyr Supersport.

Senator Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, reiterated his unwavering support for keeping the Senate‘s contentious legislative filibuster rule in place, while suggesting that he may be open to making adjustments to how it can be utilized.
Under the current filibuster rules, most legislation needs at least 60 votes in the Senate to pass. With an evenly split Senate—50 to 50—and GOP lawmakers largely opposed to Biden’s agenda, convincing 10 Republican senators to back Democratic bills seems like a nearly insurmountable obstacle. All 50 senators in the Democratic Caucus would need to support ending or modifying the filibuster for changes to be made.
Manchin, as well as Senator Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona Republican, have both publicly voiced their opposition to ending the legislative. Biden has voiced support for maintaining the filibuster as well.
But Manchin told Fox News Sunday this weekend that he thinks using the filibuster has become too “comfortable” and should be more “painful.”
“The filibuster should be painful. It really should be painful. We’ve made it more comfortable over the years, not intentionally—maybe just it evolved into that. Maybe it has to be more painful. Maybe you have to stand there. There’s things we can talk about,” Manchin said.
However, the Democratic senator also defended the importance of the filibuster. He argued that the Senate should continue to be required to take into consideration the views of the minority party.
“I’d make it harder to get rid of the filibuster. I’m supporting the filibuster, I’m going to continue to support the filibuster,” Manchin said. “I think it defines who we are as a Senate. I’ll make it harder to get rid of it, but it should be painful if you want to use it.”
Historically the filibuster was not so frequently used to block the passage of legislation, but that has changed in the past couple decades. A 2020 Brookings Institution report found that more filibuster cloture (or the closing of debate) motions have been filed in the past two decades than in the preceding 80 years. Many analysts see this as a key reason behind constant partisan deadlock in the Senate.
Many progressive Democrats have called for ending the filibuster, as they see this as the only way to successfully pass key legislative priorities such as the Raise the Wage Act to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour; the Equality Act to ban discrimination against LGBTQ individuals; and the For the People Act to shore up and expand voting rights. Although these bills have all passed in the House of Representatives, they currently look unlikely to pass in the evenly split Senate barring some modification of the filibuster or terminating the legislative rule entirely.
Experts have outlined different ways in which the filibuster could be adjusted without ending it completely, although many caution that changes would likely lead quickly to the legislative rule coming to an end entirely. Some have suggested re-implementing a so-called “talking filibuster,” which requires senators pushing the measure to remain on the floor for it to continue. This would be expected to make it difficult to sustain an indefinite filibuster and could lead to more compromise.
Newsweek reached out to Manchin for further comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Turkish Red Crescent has announced plans to help North Korea on water shortage.
Secretary General of Turkish Red Crescent Muzaffer Komit told a press conference on Monday that they penned a memorandum of understanding with North Korea as they were having hard time to reach clean water after typhoon and floods hit the country.
Komit said that although Turkey and North Korea do not have embassy level relations, they sent humanitarian aid to the country.
Komit said that Turkish Red Crescent established a tent city, a healthcare school, a stadium, a slaughterhouse and a cold storage in Somalia. He also said that with the order of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, they opened a bone burning unit to cremate the bones on the streets. He added that "Turkey Endowment Project" has been prepared under the auspices of Turkish President Abdullah Gul.
-Rakhine Muslims in Myanmar-
Komit said that they signed a five-year agreement with Myanmar Red Cross, sent food and restored damaged houses as part of it. He said that they were planning to build permanent houses for Rakhine Muslims who were residing at the camps, as well as launching agricultural projects that would enable them to feed themselves.
He said that Turkish Red Crescent had been spending 1 to 1.5 million USD per day at the camps where almost 90,000 Syrian refugees stay. He said that they were able to provide service up to 200,000 refugees but they saw it as Turkey's priority to solve that problem.
Komit also said that Turkish Red Crescent had been providing service in Akcakale, where Syrian forces shelled last week, with 106 personnel and 44 vehicles.
He said that Turkish Red Crescent had been continuing to produce non-combustible tents and planning to increase the tent capacity to 150,000.
Established in 1868, the Turkish Red Crescent, a charitable organization known for its international aid efforts, has established itself as an agency that assists all people in need regardless of location for the last 144 years.
The Turkish Red Crescent provides humanitarian assistance to people who are in need due to natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, famine, drought, war, hurricane, tsunami or other reasons throughout the world.

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?” the officer said as he handcuffed me and walked me to the car. I glanced around and saw Ava being led to the same car. I nod and he opens the right back door of the cruiser and pushed me in, then nodded for the other officer to put Ava in next to me. He slammed my door and I turned in my seat so I could face Ava.
I looked at Ava and laughed before saying, “Your dad’s gonna kill me.” She looked at me and laughed before shifting in her seat.
She turned to the officer and flirtatiously said, “Hey handsome, do you think there would be any way for you to loosen these cuffs? They’re too tight and they’re cutting off the circulation to my fingers. Better yet, you could just let me and my friend go. I’m sure it would save you some paperwork.” She smiled at him and he slammed the door, unamused by her attempt to sweet talk him.
“Maybe we could make a run for it. It would be a good story to tell our friends when we get back.” she suggested when her sweet talk didn’t work. I looked at her and thought, You are crazy as hell. There is no way I’m going to do that.
“Nah, they’d catch us and give us a worse punishment. Let’s not push our luck.” I said then shifted in my seat when the two officers got in the front of the car.
She looked at the officers in the mirror and smiled at them before asking, “Excuse me, could one of you give me a light? My lighter is in my pocket and I can’t reach it, which you should know.”
I laughed, knowing that she hadn’t smoked a day in her life. The officer in front of me slammed his door and then we began to drive away. I watched as the blue lights reflected in Ava’s green eyes, and I knew she was enjoying the freedom she felt, despite the fact that we were going to jail. But I wouldn’t change anything, she had stolen my heart and it all began in the back of the cop car.

Hey folks!Â I grew some garlicâ€”planted it last October, dug it up this weekâ€”and I took some pictures of it hanging up to dry, to show you.Â Then I got an idea, a terrible, awful idea.Â And here it is.Â How did I do this evil deed, you may ask?
Simple.Â I photoshopped the heads ontoâ€¦the heads!!!Â And yes, â€śphotoshopâ€ť is a verb.Â I tried the â€śclone stamp toolâ€ť since I figured thatâ€™s how you would copy something and paste it onto something else.Â Not so.Â I finally gave up after literally HOURS of trying to figure it out and put â€śhow to photoshop someone into a pictureâ€ť into the search engine, and voila!!Â Youtube has a tutorial on every thing a human being can do, including this.Â The nice sounding young man taught me how to copy and paste, resizing the photos as you go, and it couldnâ€™t be simpler.Â First you take the â€ślassoâ€ť tool and cut the thing out you want to put somewhere.Â Then it will acquire what my professor calls the â€śmarching antsâ€ť around just that part of the image youâ€™ve drawn around.Â Hit edit, then copy, and go to the garlic picture, and hit paste!Â If it doesnâ€™t fit, resize the original image, under â€śimage sizeâ€ť and paste again.
Stupid Dan had red-eye in his picture, because no picture exists of him taken anywhere else but a bar.Â So THAT was another hour, because despite the fact that my version of photoshop, CS2, is supposed to have a â€śred eye toolâ€ť, it doesnâ€™t.Â Or, at least I couldnâ€™t find it.Â So I gave up and found another picture of him.Â Notice how heâ€™s kind of transparent while the rest of us are solid.Â I used the â€śpolygonalâ€ť lasso tool on him, and the regular lasso tool on all the rest.Â Hm.
Why is my head the biggest?Â Because itâ€™s my picture.Â I call it "GarlicGuideHeads".

Latest Review: "The End of the Story" by Liliana Heker
The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Sarah Winstein-Hibbs on Liliana Heker’s The End of the Story, which is translated from the Spanish by Andrea G. Labinger and is available from Biblioasis.
As Sarah states in her introduction, this is her first book review for threepercent!
Here is part of her review:
Sparking major controversy in its home country upon publication in 1996, Liliana Heker’s The End of the Story chronicles the atrocity of the Argentinean “Dirty War” not on the grand scale of historical generalization, but on the infinitely more stunning and painful level of personal tragedy. The story is told through the overlapping narratives of three women: revolutionary-turned-mutineer, Leonora; her frustrated biographer and childhood confidante, Diana Glass; and Hertha Bechofen, a cynical writer and Austrian refugee. It’s often unclear who is narrating the story, and by the end it becomes evident that the piece is metafiction taken to a whole new level: The End of the Story is not just Diana’s story about Leonora, it’s Bechofen’s story of Diana writing about Leonora. But the predicament of perspective doesn’t end there. Parents and children, torturers and victims, believers and cynics all have a voice in this novel as Heker peppers the already-potent mixture with a host of polemical, conflicting viewpoints. And as Heker describes Leonora’s torture and defection, Diana’s hope and disenchantment, and Bechofen’s sage understanding, she leaves us guessing, refusing to fully identify herself with any one point of view. However, if we try to conflate Heker with a character or voice, we’ve missed the point entirely: the book constitutes a reaction against ideology itself, by very nature of its multifaceted storytelling.

I always thought life was about finishing school, getting a killer job working 9-5 Monday through Friday, and eventually starting a family. Never did I consider anything other than that because to be honest, thats all I knew. We are raised in a society where everyone is competing with everyone else. Why though? For what, stuff? There will always be someone with a nicer car, bigger house, and more money. Sounds like they’re setting us up for failure from the start. Granted it is nice to have these luxuries if you can afford them, however I’ve found a lot more happiness in taking the alternate route. Let me tell you why…
“The less you own, the less things own you.”
Think about how much you have to lose if you spend all of your money on things rather than experiences. Your expensive car can get totaled, your huge house can be flooded and destroyed by disasters, your brand new iPhone could fall into a sink. All in a matter of minutes. We create anxiety and stress in our lives, willingly. The more we own, the more we have to worry about. And to be completely honest, no one cares about what kind of things you own, because they are too worried themselves about what people think of what they own. Its a horrible cycle if you ask me.
Now lets look at things a little differently. Im new to this whole thing so I’d love to hear others thoughts on it, but this is just an opinion based on my own personal feelings. Say we decide to spend our money on things like taking road trips with our friends or scuba diving lessons. Memories are the only thing we acquire throughout life that cannot be destroyed or touched by anyone other than ourselves. Im not saying don’t buy anything materialistic, however there is a difference between meeting your needs and overkill. One of the best purchases I’ve made recently was in a kayak. The beauty of it? Its simple, its basic, it serves its purpose. I bought it knowing it could break, get stolen or lost any day of the week. With that mindset, I’m already okay with the worst case senerio. Something nobody teaches us as kids… which I don’t understand why either. Anyway, after accepting the risks, it opened up a window to allow me to spearfish in entirely different areas of the island. The happiness it brings me daily is what makes it worth it. The memories it provides me with are priceless. And even if it were to get stolen, no one can steal what memories and feelings it has given me. It paid for itself after the first excursion if you ask me.
Buying things is OK. Spending money on things we enjoy is also OK. But make sure before grounding yourself to something of material value, it’s giving you something in return that cannot be taken from you. Experiences. Happiness. Stories.
If we all changed our mindsets to consider memories/experiences as our level of value rather than currency, what would you be worth? I think about that often.
The easiest way to figure it out? I think, if you were to stand in front of a room of 100 people and were asked to tell your story thus far, what would you be able to tell them? Would you do something to change the story?
That to me is someones worth

Fleet-footed investigations and prompt remedial action: the new normal
The following article by Philip Storm, Earl M. (Chip) Jones, III and Greg Keating is reprinted with permission from Littler Mendelson
Whistleblowing has really become a hot issue. In March 2015, the SEC issued a half million dollar bounty award to a whistleblower, serving as a huge reminder to employers–including community banks–to have protocols in place to investigate and respond to internal complaints and concerns. The national law firm of Littler Mendelson, experts in employment and labor laws, shares some insight to effectively address internal concerns to prevent (potentially embarrassing) escalations of situations.
- Does your bank respond to all internal concerns immediately, investigate them thoroughly and remediate them with unmatchable speed?
- What if the concern comes from an officer, director, lawyer, compliance professional, internal auditor, or an outside accountant?
- Do you assume you have time because, after all, it is the informant’s “job” to identify and remedy non-compliance or,
- Do you jump on the concern regardless of who raises it, launching and concluding your investigation and implementing remedial action within 120 days?
The Security and Exchange Commission’s recent Dodd-Frank bounty award of half a million dollars to a former company officer who waited the requisite 120-day period tells employers they must act immediately no matter who raises or learns of the concern. This is the SEC’s first award to an officer who was not the individual raising the concern internally, and shows that individuals with compliance-related jobs and other “bystanders” are fully able to report matters to the SEC and collect awards. Act now on every concern, the SEC is saying, unless you would prefer to outsource your investigation to them.
The SEC’s March 2, 2015 press release1 is also a clarion call to anyone observing corporate fraud. In this and other recent public statements, the SEC reaffirms that no matter who you are or how you learned of the fraud, you are encouraged to come forward and you will be heard. For every employer the message is equally clear: your internal complaint system should do no less.
Keep in mind that under the Dodd-Frank Act, anyone can be a whistleblower by reporting conduct that relates to a possible violation of the federal securities laws–including any rules or regulations thereunder–that has occurred, is ongoing, or is about to occur. Equally important, Dodd-Frank’s anti-retaliation provisions apply to violations of laws subject to the SEC’s jurisdiction, which includes the Bank Security Act, USA Patriot Act, and any other rules and regulations subject to the SEC’s jurisdiction. The whistleblower retaliation provisions also cover disclosures required or protected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which includes reports of bank, mail and wire fraud.
Whether you are a public entity or privately-owned bank, the time is now to develop a reliable investigation system as part of your internal compliance program that welcomes internal concerns and promptly and capably addresses them. And that includes concerns raised by individuals who oversee and implement your bank’s compliance function.
Most employers know that Dodd-Frank’s bounty program offers significant rewards to whistleblowers who voluntarily provide original information about a possible violation of securities laws or regulations to the SEC, where that information leads to a successful SEC enforcement action totaling more than $1 million. When the SEC finalized its regulations to implement the bounty program, it included exceptions that prohibited awards to certain individuals whose roles customarily give them information about company fraud and misconduct.
Relevant here, those prohibitions included situations where the potential SEC whistleblower was “an officer, director, trustee, or partner of an entity and another person informed you of allegations of misconduct, or you learned the information in connection with the entity’s processes for identifying, reporting, and addressing possible violations of law.” 17 CFR § 240.21F-4 (b)(4)(iii)(A). Awards were also prohibited to individuals whose principal duties involve compliance or internal audit responsibilities, public accountants retained to perform the company’s audit, and firms retained to investigate violations of law.
The SEC’s regulations, however, included “exceptions to the exceptions,” which are central to the recent award. Each of the exceptions vanishes where the SEC whistleblower–as the SEC press release puts it–“reports the information to the SEC more than 120 days after other responsible compliance personnel possessed the information and failed to adequately address the issue.” The SEC informant need not be the one who raised the concern inside the company to the company’s legal or compliance function; he or she may simply have “received the information” if it was received under circumstances indicating that the entity’s audit committee, chief legal officer, chief compliance officer (or their equivalents), or the informant’s supervisor was already aware of the information.
What this means is that bank “bystanders” who observe an ongoing ineffective or delayed investigation of securities-related concerns may become whistleblowers entitled to a bounty, even where they learn of the information in their capacity as one who identifies or oversees compliance concerns.2 The SEC has also focused its viewfinder on other employer compliance-related agreements and procedures (confidentiality agreements, separation agreements, codes of conduct, policies) that may dissuade individuals from communicating with the SEC. Taken together, the SEC’s messages should give every bank more than enough reason to develop effective internal reporting mechanisms that promptly address internal concerns without fear of retaliation.
What action is necessary to satisfy the SEC that a bank “adequately” addressed an issue within 120 days will be a case-by-case determination. One decision every bank must face is whether to self-report an issue or complaint to the SEC. Having sufficient information to make that informed decision will also require an effective and timely investigation.
Recommendations for internal investigations and communications
- Given the SEC’s increased focus on this area, it is recommended that employers work with knowledgeable counsel to review and upgrade their internal investigation systems to promptly and effectively address all internal concerns. At a minimum, employers should:
- Review and upgrade their internal investigation system to ensure they immediately process, promptly and effectively investigate, and expeditiously resolve all concerns reported through any of the company’s internal channels (the company’s hotline and “in-person” channels such as human resources, legal and management).
- Develop investigation guidelines and train investigation personnel. Conducting effective and lawful investigations is not a luxury for an organization; it is imperative. Well-designed investigation guidelines will better ensure that all important legal and compliance issues are identified, tracked, investigated in an appropriate and timely manner, and resolved.
- Develop escalation procedures that adequately inform oversight personnel of significant risks. An effective communication system to the stakeholders of the employer’s compliance program means that the right level of personnel, including regulators like the SEC when appropriate, are receiving the right information at the right time. It also means that individuals who have no legitimate need to know about matters are not inadvertently provided such confidential information.
- Update and socialize the importance of “speak-up” and anti-retaliation policies to encourage internal reporting.
- Review compliance-related documents, confidentiality agreements, separation agreements, and employment agreements to ensure that these documents do not contain messages dissuading employees from communicating with federal agencies.

2. Of additional interest in this scenario is whether the officer has an obligation to turn over the reward to the employer, if, for example, he or she is subject to California law. See CAL. LAB. CODE § 2860 (“Everything which an employee acquires by virtue of his employment, except the compensation which is due to him from his employer, belongs to the employer, whether acquired lawfully or unlawfully, or during or after the expiration of the term of his employment”).

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Some considerations on the histological diagnosis
Coeliac disease (CD) is a gluten dependent enteropathy with a very high prevalence1 and an increased mortality rate.2 Our knowledge regarding the clinical and pathogenetic aspects of CD has increased considerably over the past few years, but its diagnosis today—like several decades ago—is still based on the biopsy confirmed presence of duodenal–jejunal mucosal lesions that improve after a gluten free diet.
Although the greatest diagnostic challenge in CD concerns the identification of patients to be subjected to intestinal biopsy, rather than the choice of histopathological criteria, it is believed that the currently used criteria3 are often the source of disagreement between pathologists and clinicians and, at times, of misdiagnosis for the patients.
Based on the dynamic development pattern of coeliac lesions and on the frequent finding of cases of CD with mild lesions, Marsh3 proposed a four stage grading, namely: (1) type 1 infiltrative lesions, characterised by normal mucosal architecture with an increased number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs); (2) type 2 hyperplastic lesions, characterised by an increase in crypt depth without villous flattening; (3) type 3 destructive lesions, characterised by villous atrophy and crypt hypertrophy; and (4) type 4 hypoplastic lesions, characterised by villous atrophy with normal crypt height and IEL count. Oberhuber and colleagues4 subsequently proposed a new standardised report scheme, based on the Marsh classification, in which stage 3 was split further into 3a, 3b, and 3c, characterised by mild villous flattening, marked villous flattening, and completely flat mucosa, respectively. At present, the Marsh classification of intestinal coeliac …

GRAND RAPIDS -- When Paul and Maureen Dreher were married in 1969, their wedding featured a local singer and actor singing "Come to Me, Bend to Me" from the Broadway musical "Brigadoon."
The singer was William "Bill" Beidler.
"That was the high point of the wedding," laughed Paul Dreher, retired managing director of Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, who had directed Beidler in a production of the Lerner and Loewe show.
Beidler died Tuesday at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. He was 82 years old.
Beginning with his move to West Michigan in 1964, Beidler appeared in productions of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" with Opera Grand Rapids, a concert-version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" with the Grand Rapids Symphony, "Brigadoon" and "Carousel" with Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, "The Mikado" with the Calvin Alumni Players and many more shows.
"He was very captivating on stage," Dreher recalled. "He was a terrific performer. He knew what worked."
Though trained classically at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and later at Michigan State University, Beidler was an avid folk singer.
"He loved music, and he loved to entertain," said his daughter Sherrie Beidler.
A native of Frankfort, Beidler served in the U.S. Army at the end of World War II before returning to college at Central Michigan University.
Beidler spent nearly five years in New York, performing off-Broadway and for industrial shows as a singer, dancer and actor.
When he and his wife, Lora, were ready to start a family, they decided to return to Michigan where Beidler first taught public school music at Rogers City High School.
Beidler spent four years on the faculty of Southern Colorado State College, but in 1964, he returned to Michigan to join the faculty of Grand Valley State University. He taught voice and directed choirs for 19 years, including tours to Europe with his choirs.
Due to budget cuts, he was asked to take early retirement in 1983, and at age 57, he began a new career with a touring Las Vegas-style nightclub act.
One of his favorite shows was in 1973 when director-producer Jose Ferrer mounted a production of "Cyrano," a new musical about Cyrano de Bergerac that Ferrer tested in Hope College to gauge its potential in New York.
Ferrer, who won an Academy Award for Best Actor for the 1950 film version of "Cyrano de Bergerac," cast Beidler in the role of Christian.
"He's marvelous," Ferrer told The Grand Rapids Press, days before the show opened.
In 1993, LLC Classical Theatre mounted a musical revue titled "Bill at Sixty-Something" to celebrate his more than 50 years of performing.
Due to declining health, Beidler stopped performing about 10 years ago.
Beidler is survived by his daughter, Sherrie Beidler; a son Bradd and his wife, Elizabeth; grandchildren Katherine, Jack, Emily and Steven; and by his wife, Lora.
Memorial services will be Saturday in St. Mary's Church, 423 First St. NW. A gathering will be held at 9:30 a.m. followed by the service at 10 a.m.
