Quashing France’s Israel Apartheid Week
This is the week that wasn’t — at least if you planned on attending the colloquium “New sociological, historical and legal approaches to the call for an international boycott: Is Israel an apartheid state?” Scheduled to take place on February 27 and 28 at the University of Paris VIII, the colloquium was quashed last week by Pascal Binczak, the university rector. Needless to say, Binczak’s decision, no less than the colloquium itself, have spurred tremendous controversy.
From the outset, the colloquium was less than colloquial. The conference poster depicts an Arab wearing a keffiyeh, walking along the wall dividing Israel from the West Bank. Superimposed on the wall is the colloquium’s title — the sort of framing that transformed the question “Is Israel an apartheid state?” into a rhetorical exercise. One need only imagine a poster with the title “Is Hamas a reliable interlocutor for Israel?” superimposed on the image of a terror-filled, blood-stained and body-strewn street in Tel Aviv, to understand that in neither case is a true exchange of views sought.
Moreover, the titles for the colloquium’s various panels — ranging from “Spatial Apartheid in the Occupied Zones” to “State of Discrimination in Israel” and “The Civil Administration of Apartheid” — seemed to promise declamation rather than dialogue. The same applies to the participants, most of whom are active participants in the boycott campaign or pro-Palestinian movements in France or other European countries, some of whom viewed the colloquium as a platform to demand the exclusion of Israelis from academic conferences held in Europe.
As a result, it was inevitable that the Representative Council of Jewish Organizations in France (CRIF) would issue a strong protest. No less inevitably, when Binczak withdrew the university’s support, the organizers concluded he had caved into pressure from CRIF. The headline in Mediapart, an on-line journal, captured this sentiment: “CRIF orders censorship, Paris VIII obeys.” In an open letter published last week in Le Monde, the organizers acknowledged that while the colloquium “could lead to polemical exchanges,” this was not reason enough for “partisan associations to exclude them from public debate.” The organizers’ apparent lack of irony in describing CRIF as “partisan” was no less odd than its belief that Binczak’s refusal to allow them to use the university’s buildings was tantamount to “exclusion from public debate.” The fact that the colloquium has simply moved down the street from Paris VIII and will be held today and tomorrow at a union hall in the same neighborhood underscores the claim’s absurdity.
In his reply, Binczak made a few elemental points. First, far from undermining the freedom of expression, his decision sought to defend it. Not only did the colloquium fall short of the university’s legal mandate to “respect the diversity of opinion,” but the nature of its panels and participants made clear that “the pluralism of opinions, the contradictory character of debate and great intellectual responsibilities of the university community were less important than political ends.” Second, Binczak noted that his efforts to persuade the organizers to include a greater range of participants fell on deaf ears. Instead, the organizers released an announcement declaring that the “complicity of Europeans in the continuation of the occupation and Israeli oppression is the result of threats, intimidation and brutality.” Finally, Binczak pointed out that a number of the communiqué’s apparent supporters, including the League of Human Rights, immediately disassociated themselves from it.
That Israel’s policies in the occupied territories are valid, indeed compelling subjects of debate and discussion seems clear. But one hardly need be an unconditional supporter of CRIF — which compared the colloquium’s organizers to Stalinists — much less of the settlements in the West Bank, to rally to Binczak’s decision. In a world increasingly vulnerable to the gangrene of partisan rage and monologic fury, the university remains one of the few havens for the values that inform true colloquia: intellectual exchange and open-mindedness.

Shatterproof, an addiction awareness organization founded by a former hotel executive in tribute to his late son, has announced a series of 28 fundraising events for 2015 in which participants will rappel from a tall building to reflect the battle of people facing addictions.
The first Shatterproof Challenge event of this year will take place on April 2 in Miami. Other stops on the nationwide series of challenges will include Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle and Washington, D.C.; there will be twice as many events in 2015 as there were last year. The events usually attract around 100 participants per city and feature corporate sponsors and a landing pad party with food and music.
Gary Mendell founded Shatterproof under the original name Brian's Wish in 2012; his older son Brian died in 2011 after having struggled with addiction in his teens and early 20s. Mendell has sought to establish an uplifting message to the community, as well as to raise awareness and dollars at a time when research, public policy and changing public attitudes are converging to create unprecedented opportunities for substance use prevention and treatment.
Shatterproof hopes that this year's events, for which no training of participants is necessary, will attract a total of 3,000 participants and will raise $5 million.


Welcome to Raven Research
The wideband active antenna multicoupler is used in radio communications and wideband receiving systems to connect several receivers to a single antenna in such a way that the equipment impedance is properly matched to the antenna impedance, with no loss of signal power. In fact, often gain is introduced by the multicoupler to overcome the noise figures of following stages. Multicouplers are key components in signal distribution systems such as the full fan-out antenna switch matrix. Key indicators of the quality of an antenna multicoupler are the following points.
When comparing the specifications of multicouplers, check to ensure that the quoted figures for 'Intermodulation Intercept Point' refer to the complete unit and not just to the preamplifier. Raven Research makes very high performance preamplifiers at HF and VHF/UHF with high dynamic range and low power consumption. Multicoupler performance is largely defined by the quality of the preamplifier but the overall performance is also significantly effected by the following signal splitting circuitry. A low loss signal power divider is preferable
Raven multicouplers are designed and built in the UK at the company's facility in Reading, Berkshire. The product line includes broadband VLF/HF, HF, and VHF/UHF units. VLF/HF Units cover the frequency range 10kHz to 1.5MHz. HF units cover 1.5MHz to 40MHz. VHF/UHF units cover 20MHz to 3000MHz.

Expansive views and big skies have never felt as important as they did at the end of seven long months of abnormality. So we planned a spur-of-the-moment, six-day hike along England’s most ancient trail — the Ridgeway.
Spanning 85 miles from Avebury in Wiltshire, crossing the chalky Berkshire Downs and then kissing the river Thames, it’s a route trodden for over five thousand years and a path we’ve wanted to walk for a while — that we longed for limbo. As a chill crisped the September air, I’d never been happier to pull on a pair of hiking boots and shuffle my shoulders through the straps of a weighty backpack.
Unlike other thru-hikes we’ve undertaken, this one didn’t feel intimidating nor, perhaps, as exciting. But it wasn’t excitement that was needed from this journey. It was an uninterrupted gaze. An unbroken chain of thought.
Avebury to Ogbourne St George
Avebury is a museum village of cottages complete with thatched roofs and window boxes filled with scarlet-red flowers. The World Heritage site holds the famous Bronze Age stone circle — easily a match for Stonehenge — and makes for an impressive introduction to the trail. But it’s after this, once you’ve picked your way up the rocky lane and out onto the bare hilltops that the walk begins administering its therapy.
It’s wind whipped and exposed up here. The luscious colour of summer is draining away and the sky is a paintbrush-water hue, but that lends itself to the anticipation of falling leaves, logs crackling on fires and red wine. Winter will feel different this year, undoubtedly.
We’re tailed by two red kites almost all the way along and we stop intermittently to watch them perform aerobatics as they hunt. Ten miles of easy hilltop walking, eyes gently scanning the subdued shades of harvested wheat fields and browning hedgerows, have been a real tonic.
Ogbourne St George to Sparsholt
Morning is cloaked in fog, but there’s something comforting about walking shrouded like this — a protective cocoon for you and your thoughts. I’ve felt the same out on the Yorkshire moors and walking across Dartmoor through a soft blanket of drizzle. Simultaneously bleak and cosy.
The fog begins to lift, at first just revealing the feet of field-covered hills but then, slowly, the murky apparition of open countryside. Breaks in the low cloud give a glimpse of that pale shade of yellow-blue that you often see in autumnal skies.
Later in the afternoon, we pass what is without a doubt the most gorgeous field of fading sunflowers and wild, weedy blooms I’ve ever seen. It is shimmering and golden and when we stop at its side, we see that it’s vibrant with life. Cabbage White butterflies in their thousands are making their rounds among the flowers, busily pollinating the last of summer’s flora. I try to film this but a cheap phone camera can’t capture the scene like the eye can. I take a mental picture to reinforce the digital one which, as always, is a bit of a letdown.
In the warm, late-afternoon sun our long shadows slide past the Uffington white horse — one of several prehistoric chalk figures marking the slopes of the Ridgeway. One of the only drawbacks of being on the trail is that you skim past many of the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age sites that sprang up around it, without even knowing they’re there.
Our B&B is a remote farmhouse way up on the brow of the hill, with panoramic views across Wiltshire. Our hostess, a warm woman, cooks us vegetarian lasagne and apple and raspberry crumble made with the produce from her garden.
Sparsholt to Goring & Streatley
After two warm-up days of ten and 15 miles, today is a longer 18-mile stretch. There’s rain forecast but we have the gear to stay warm and dry.
One of the most noticeable things about the first three days of hiking has been the absence of trees. The countryside has been a patchwork of gently undulating agricultural land which has its own type of beauty, with only tiny clusters of woodland, standing like penguins huddled against the cold. You wonder what it looked like before, when those first ancient commuters walked the chalky spine. Whether it was enclosed in forest on both sides or was always stark like this. This thought crops up frequently along the trail.
Goring & Streatley, straddling the Oxfordshire-Berkshire border, are picture-postcard villages. South England’s Village of the Year from I’m not sure when, but you can see why.
Goring & Streatley to Watlington
Today there’s a welcome shift in scenery, miles of bucolic countryside give way to stretches of shady woodland for the first time. It’s warm and breezy with big barrelling clouds offering a glimpse of the weather that’s to come.
I’m surprised by the wildflowers that seem to be bursting into life all around us. Yellow orchid-type stems, wispy lilacs and blues dotted around the edges of fields and what appear to be wild blueberries peppering the hedgerows for miles. Then there are autumn’s berries hanging heavy in the trees in vivid scarlet-red and orange, and blackberries still clinging on in places. I forget every year, how beautiful this season is.
We stop for lunch in a newly-harvested field and watch military helicopters making drop-offs. After lunch we pick our way through more tree-cloaked tunnels and then through vast open fields of what we’ve deduced are rutabagas. The sun is still warm and that has been appreciated today, knowing there’s a storm rolling in for tomorrow.
Watlington to Princes Risborough
The rain started last night and the wind is howling but we’re not dampened by it as we kit up and head outside. We know that today’s trail promises more protective swathes of woodland and we’re grateful that we won’t be up on those windblown hills of the first stretch. We tend to do these hikes backwards for some reason, and it’s worked in our favour this time.
Walking in the low light of the woods with the rain hammering the canopy overhead, I think again about what it was like to walk this path a thousand or so years ago. Where the trail widens and is carpeted by rust-brown leaves and thick with silence, you imagine an ambush by men on horseback. Where it narrows and you wind and duck through dense, low-hanging branches, there’s an ethereal quality to it.
This is one of my favourite points of the journey. Woodland is breathtaking in the spring and summer, with its gossamer rays of golden twinkling debris. But I become aware of the haunting beauty of the forest in autumn as the light fades and shades of conker and moss merge like a watercolour painting. The smell of trees and undergrowth in the rain is evocative too, heavy and peppery.
We failed to utilise our umbrellas early enough today and, despite our “waterproof” gear, we’re damp and cold by the time we reach our B&B in the early evening.
Princes Risborough to Chesham
Or, rather, Wendover. We’d always intended to cheat the last stretch so that we could meet friends for a roast on the Sunday, but after a day of non-stop rain and the fatigue of six days’ walking without a break, we didn’t have the energy left to hike through another wet, windy day.
And it did rain, right until we boarded the train. Sod’s law. But, in spite of its short duration, today delivered more of that mystical decaying forest I’d loved so much from yesterday — this time my cheap camera came up with the goods.
We were treated to one last delicious view of patchwork-quilt farmland from the top of Coombe Hill before we left the trail behind, tired and content.

Salvador Dali worked briefly with Walt Disney in 1945 to create a 6 minute sequence that combined animation with real dancers.
Meaning: The film tells the story of Chronos, the personification of time and the inability to realize his desire to love for a mortal. The Disney characters are fighting against time, the giant sundial that emerges from the great stone face of Jupiter and that determines the fate of all human novels.
Dalí and Hench were creating a new animation technique, the cinematic equivalent of “paranoid critique” of Dali. Method inspired by the work of Freud on the subconscious and the inclusion of hidden and double images.
Dalí said: “Entertainment highlights the art, its possibilities are endless.” The plot of the film was described by. Dalí as “A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time.”
Walt Disney said it was “A simple story about a young girl in search of true love.”

Sex reassignment surgery from female to male includes a variety of surgical procedures for transgender people that alter female anatomical traits to provide physical traits more appropriate to the trans man's male identity and functioning.
Many trans men considering the option do not opt for genital reassignment surgery [ citation needed ] ; more frequent surgical options include bilateral mastectomy removal of the breasts and chest contouring providing a more typically male chest shapeand hysterectomy the removal of internal sex organs.
Sex reassignment surgery is usually preceded by beginning hormone treatment with testosterone. Many trans men seek bilateral mastectomyalso called "top surgery", the removal of the breasts and the shaping of a male contoured chest. Trans men with moderate to large breasts usually require a formal bilateral mastectomy with grafting and reconstruction of the nipple-areola.
This will result in two horizontal scars on the lower edge of the pectoralis muscle, but allows for easier resizing of the nipple and placement in a typically male position. By some doctors, the surgery is done in two steps, first the contents of the breast are removed through either a cut inside the areola or around it, and then let the skin retract for about a year, where in a second surgery the excess skin is removed. This technique results in far less scarring, and the nipple-areola doesn't need to be removed and grafted.
Completely removing and grafting often results in a loss of sensation of that area that may take months to over a year to return, or may never return at all; and in rare cases in the complete loss of this tissue. In these rare cases, a nipple can be reconstructed as it is for surgical candidates whose nipples are removed as part of treatment for breast cancer. For trans men with smaller breasts, a peri-areolar or "keyhole" procedure may be done where the mastectomy is performed through an incision made around the areola.
This avoids the larger How Does A Girl Become A Guy of a traditional mastectomy, but the nipples may be larger and may not be in a perfectly male orientation on the chest wall. In addition, there is less denervation damage to the nerves supplying the see more of the chest wall with a peri-areolar mastectomy, How Does A Girl Become A Guy less time is required for sensation to return.
See Male Chest Reconstruction. Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus.
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy BSO is the removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes. Hysterectomy without BSO in women is sometimes erroneously referred to as a 'partial hysterectomy' and is done to treat uterine disease while maintaining the female hormonal milieu until natural menopause occurs.
A 'partial hysterectomy' is actually when the uterus is removed, source the cervix is left intact.
If the cervix is removed, it is called a 'total hysterectomy. Some undergo this as their only gender-identity confirming 'bottom surgery'. Though like breast cancerthe risk does not become zero, but is drastically decreased. It is unknown whether the risk of ovarian cancer is increased, decreased, or unchanged in transgender men.
The risk will probably never be known since the overall population of transgender men is very small; [ improper synthesis? While the rates of endometrial and cervical cancer are overall higher than ovarian cancer, and these malignancies occur in younger people, it is still highly unlikely that this question will ever be definitively answered.
Decreasing cancer risk is however, particularly important as trans men often feel uncomfortable seeking gynecologic care, and many do not have access to adequate and culturally sensitive treatment. This is particularly the case for trans men who:. One important consideration is that any trans man who develops vaginal bleeding after successfully ceasing menses on testosterone, must be evaluated by a gynecologist.
This is equivalent to post-menopausal bleeding in a woman and may herald the development of a gynecologic cancer.

Weekend tourist rush, road repair brings Shimla to halt
At least 120 policemen are on traffic duty in the town yet the traffic jam starts at the entrance to Shimla. A portion of the road has caved in near the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT), leading to the jam from the ISBT bifurcation to Victory tunnel, a 3-km stretch.india Updated: Jun 10, 2017 14:43 IST
Headed for Shimla? Leave your car behind.
That’s because the summer tourist rush to Himachal Pradesh is peaking over the weekend amid road repair, leading to long traffic jams in Shimla.
Shimla deputy superintendent of police, traffic, RS Negi says the number of vehicles in town has gone up with more tourists flocking the hill station in the past week. “Road maintenance is on and the tourist rush has added to the problem,” he says.
At least 120 policemen are on traffic duty in the town yet the traffic jam starts at the entrance to Shimla. A portion of the road has caved in near the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT), leading to the jam from the ISBT bifurcation to Victory tunnel, a 3-km stretch.
Shimla has four major parking lots but they are inadequate for the rush of tourist vehicles. “We spent two hours looking for a parking space. First the jam wasted our time and now this hunt for parking,” says Adarsh Trivedi, a tourist from Delhi.
However, Mashobra resident Ajit Kumar blames it all on the tourists. “The tourist rush has gone up in the past four days. That’s why we are facing traffic and parking problems.”
Tour planner Zampa Negi says the lack of parking space is a problem in all Himachal tourist towns of Mashobra, Kufri, and Narkanda. “It’s worse than Shimla there,” he says.
Another tour operator Nishant Bharota says tourists are so tired of traffic jams in Shimla that they want to visit less-crowded destinations such as Kinnaur. “Traffic snarls in the capital city have driven tourists to lesser-known destinations. The pressure is on those towns,” he says.
In Manali, the traffic congestion grew after taxi operators called off their agitation last week. The tourist rush has picked up as people escape the heat in the plains and head for snow-bound areas in the upper reaches. “Traffic jams welcome tourists in Manali and the administration has no solution to offer,” says Sandeep Singh, a resident of Manali.

Back in July, the plan commission decided that the $250 fee per structure was too low, considering the size of many such operations, and decided to simply place CAFOs into the category of commercial and industrial buildings. However, the revised fee of 20-cents per square foot, up to a maximum of $5,000 was considered too high by many farmers. Now, plan commissioners hope they’ve found the sweet spot with a fee of $500 per CAFO structure.
That result came after a bit of discussion involving various parties. Attorney Jim Federoff appeared on behalf of the Indiana Pork Advocacy Coalition. He says that Indiana law appears to limit how much revenue may be generated from permit fees. “The fee has to be reasonable and it has to be rationally related to the purpose of the fee, which in this case is an ILP,” he said. “Based on my experience doing land use law and from what I can see applicable in Starke County, I think the last amendment with a fee up to $5,000 for CAFOs for an ILP would not be consistent with the law.”
But Plan Commission Director Terry Stephenson noted that CAFO permitting can mean a lot of work for his department if all the steps are properly followed. “If they would call for the number of inspections they’re supposed to call for, which would be eight to 10, there’s a lot of administrative fees,” he said.
Plan Commission Attorney Martin Bedrock pointed out that Starke County’s updated proposal is comparable to fees seen in other counties. “Ours is not out of line,” Bedrock said. “Ours is a flat $500 fee, which will take in all the costs of all the inspections, and there’s no additional, like in Marshall County, they charge $800 plus twenty- cents per square foot over a certain size, I guess. So $500 is not out of line with all the surrounding counties.”
To help offset some of the administrative costs of processing CAFO applications, the plan commission decided to add a $75 filing fee to the $500 permit, due to the steps required to process the applications. Plan commissioners also decided to double the re-inspection fee to $100 for all permits. It’s charged when the county is called out to conduct an inspection, but the work is deemed to be incomplete.
The Starke County Plan Commission approved the changes unanimously.

Total Funding Estimate
Land use and transportation changes influence each other – for example, suburban growth can lead to public pressure for more road capacity, while freeway extensions can encourage low-density urban expansion. More effective, integrated growth management requires a better understanding of the interactions between land use and transportation investments. While there exists a vast academic literature on the theoretical linkage between transportation and land use in urban areas, and while many urban regions have adopted land use plans in coordination with transportation plans, there is relatively little documentation on how to effectively manage urban growth and transportation interactions in practice. In this context, the study would focus on the following questions:
- What does good transportation-land use integration look like?
- Is it possible to develop a toolbox of common indicators derived from primary data sources available in Canada?
- Which quantitative tools (data, analysis methods) are necessary for monitoring transportation and land use interactions?
The major objective of this project is to provide municipal transportation and land use planning authorities with standard indicators for evaluating the integration of transportation and land use in an urban environment.
Key tasks would include:
- A brief review of literature on transportation-land use interactions and a definition of successful integrated planning.
- Consultation with practitioners and academics across Canada to identify current and potential metrics, alternative data sources, and locations exemplifying positive or negative examples of good transportation and land use integration.
- A webinar or in-person workshop to review the draft guide for comments and improvements.
- A webinar after completion of the guide to introduce Canadian practitioners to the resource.
The final deliverable may be either a printed or online resource that offers:
- A synthesis of best practices for quantifying transportation-land use interactions.
- A collection of up to 20 standardized metrics for evaluating transportation and land use, the requisite sources of data, details on how to derive the metrics, and a discussion of their general applicability, advantages and disadvantages.
- Examples of metrics calculated using Canadian data for different cities and metropolitan areas across the country.

Nutritional consulting and health coach
Diet is not a short term intervention it is a long term lifestyle modification that a person requires, this will not change with time it will only get transformed according to the bodily requirement. Nutritional consulting is especially done to make a person understand the difference between Dieting and Healthy eating. We don’t help people lose weight or manage their disease rather we help them to transform themselves from within. Food is a never ending part of life which will last till eternity with humans. So we help them develop a healthy relation with their food.
Detox diet helps to remove all these harmful elements from the body and helps a person to feel energetic and healthy. It involves addition of fruits and detox drinks with a proper balance with food specially designed by our experts.
In therapeutic diets, modifications are done in nutrients, texture and food allergies or food intolerances. Example, gluten free diet, renal diet, low fat diet, high fiber diet, no added salt diet. Diabetic diet is one of the most common therapeutic diets which involve limiting high sugar foods to help blood sugar levels.
A therapeutic diet of a person may change over time based on the person’s response and improvements in health condition.

On Friday, January 11, 2013, 26-year-old visionary technologist and social activist Aaron Swartz hanged himself in New York City. A passionate advocate for making access to online information as widespread as possible, Swartz was grappling with the fallout from his efforts to do just that.
Two years before Swartz ended his life, he was arrested by police from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the City of Cambridge, Mass., police for breaking and entering into an MIT storage closet. In the closet, Swartz had stashed an Acer laptop he had programmed to download in bulk millions of scholarly articles from JSTOR, a non-profit database that provides access to the articles for academic libraries. At the time, articles on JSTOR were locked behind a paywall for non-academics who wished to access them through their own computers. Swartz aimed to make them available, free of charge, to anyone who wanted to read them.
At the time of his arrest, an investigation of Swartz’s MIT/JSTOR action was already underway, and two days earlier, the Secret Service’s online crime division assumed control of the probe. The Secret Service routinely conducts complex computer crime investigations; its involvement signaled the treatment of this as a major crime, not a caper. Six months later, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz charged Swartz with a four-count indictment.
To those who knew Swartz’ ethic, that indictment already seemed like overkill, essentially labeling an effort to share information as wire and computer fraud. But then last year, Ortiz multiplied each of the main charges, turning the same underlying actions into a 13-count indictment that threatened Swartz with a 35-year sentence.
Swartz had long struggled with depression that may have contributed to his suicide. But his family and associates have also blamed the government’s conduct in prosecuting Swartz. A statement issued by the family the day after Swartz’s suicide charges that “the U.S. Attorney’s office pursued an exceptionally harsh array of charges, carrying potentially over 30 years in prison, to punish an alleged crime that had no victims.”
And therein lies the almost incomprehensible legal background to this tragedy. Both before and after his arrest, Swartz had dedicated much of his life to using the internet to making information freely accessible. His goal here -- the government claims he intended to publish the journals online, but made no claim he wanted to profit off of them -- would have put academic research, much of it funded by federal grants, in the hands of the people who paid for it.
The Free Exchange of Ideas
Academic inquiry is founded on the free exchange of ideas. And most of the journals’ authors do not get paid for the articles they wrote. Swartz’s “crime” here would have served to foster intellectual exchange, the entire point of publishing scholarly journals. In fact, since Swartz’s indictment, JSTOR has opened up access to its journals for individuals who register. To some extent, then, Swartz’ goal has been implemented by his alleged victim.
Moreover, as Alex Stamos, an expert witness who would have testified in Swartz’s defense, points out, both the alleged victims of this crime had built their systems to foster openness. MIT deliberately allows visitors to access their system. At the time of the alleged crimes, JSTOR permitted users at MIT an unlimited number of downloads. Both networks lacked very basic safeguards to prevent abuse.
And both alleged victims have expressed regret at what has happened. Before the federal government charged Swartz, JSTOR settled its complaint against him, though MIT did not. In response to his death, JSTOR reiterated that it “regretted being drawn into from the outset, since JSTOR’s mission is to foster widespread access to the world’s body of scholarly knowledge.” And in addition to also expressing sorrow, MIT President Rafael Reif promised an investigation into MIT’s role in his prosecution, raising questions about what alternatives MIT had to cooperating in Swartz’s prosecution.
While MIT’s remorse may be tragically belated, both the alleged victims in this case seem to recognize that the prosecution violated the ethics of openness that JSTOR and MIT claim to uphold.
In spite of all this, the government portrayed Swartz’s action as theft, painting him as a common criminal. “Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away,” said Ortiz at a press conference announcing the charges.
An Example to All Who Might Follow
It seems clear that someone was keen to make an example of Swartz. In plea negotiations described by the Wall Street Journal, the government insisted Swartz plead guilty to all 13 charges and serve prison time. As Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig, -- who advised Swartz in the days after his first arrest -- emphasizes, they insisted that Swartz be branded a felon. Government attorneys reiterated this hard-nosed stance just last Wednesday, two days before Swartz took his own life.
In some ways, what was happening to Swartz was not all that unusual. George Washington University Law Professor Orin Kerr -- a leading expert on computer crime law who is sympathetic to the issues Swartz championed -- explains that the government’s charges fall within the norm for computer crimes. Moreover, the tactics used in this case are normal for the Department of Justice. The government often multiplies charges in order to coerce defendants to plead guilty without a trial.
Nor is Swartz’s the only case prosecuted by Ortiz, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, that has raised concerns nationally about her exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Last year, pharmacist Tarek Mehanna was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison after Ortiz successfully won his conviction for conspiracy to support terrorism, in a decision that threatens to criminalize scholarship and other activities that should be protected as speech. His crime? Translating jihadist works and posting them online.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Heymann, who presided over Swartz’s plea negotiations, has aggressively pursued hackers; he received an award in 1998 from then-Attorney General Janet Reno for his “exceptional work in the investigation and prosecution of computer crime.” But such aggressive investigations have had costs before. As noted by the Huffington Post, a hacker caught up in a 2008 Heymann investigation, Jonathan James, also committed suicide, complaining he had no faith in the judicial system. Elliott Peters, Swartz’s attorney, accused Heymann of being unmovable in attempts to negotiate a plea for Swartz.
"He was very intransigent," Peters said of Heymann. "It was his philosophy that as you got closer to trial the plea offers only got worse. But the offer he was making was so unreasonable that having it get worse didn't concern me much."
And Heymann knew about Swartz's mental health problems. In an interview with the Boston Globe, Andy Good, Swartz's first lawyer, said: "I told Heymann the kid was a suicide risk, ... they were aware of the risk, and they were heedless.” In what Good says is typical of prosecutors when dealing with a target who is a potential suicide, he recounted Heymann's response as: "Fine, we’ll lock him up."
The government’s demands in Swartz’s plea negotiations were actually similar to those of others accused of illegally liberating information, although those cases bear one difference: they dealt with the release of classified U.S. government information.
The War on Information
In the case of John Kiriakou, who passed on the name of an officer involved in the CIA’s torture program, the government insisted he plead guilty to Intelligence Identities Protection Act, even though the officer’s name was only ever “published” in a sealed court filing by lawyers with Top Secret clearances. With Army Private Bradley Manning, who is being tried in a military court for allegedly leaking hundreds of thousands of Defense Department and State Department cables to WikiLeaks, the government refuses to drop its pursuit of a guilty plea on an Aiding the Enemy charge, even though Manning has offered to plead guilty to the charges tied to his actual act of leaking information, but contends he never intended to harm the United States.
In all of its treatment of unsanctioned leakers, then, the administration of President Barack Obama has insisted on legally labeling those who liberate information as the worst kind of felons. In fact, in the case against Jeffrey Sterling, who is accused of leaking information about a questionable CIA operation to the New York Times’ James Risen, the government argued that leaking information to journalists -- functionally releasing information to the general public, rather than just to, say, a foreign government who might pay for the information -- is “more pernicious” than leaking it to our enemies. This attitude -- that release of information to the general public is more pernicious than release to our enemies -- treats Open Access activists like those who leak classified information.
The laws governing computer crime criminalize all sorts of actions that don’t seem like they should be crimes. The government inflates charges beyond all proportion to coerce plea deals. The government’s prosecutorial powers are overwhelming. This administration and these prosecutors have aggressively used the law to shut off the free flow of information.
So to the extent people are horrified by how Swartz was treated, they should also be horrified by the abuse of prosecutorial discretion more generally, whether it affects a genius like Swartz nabbed on an computer crime charge or a regular person brought in on drug charges.
But in Swartz’s case, there’s more than that. After all, he wasn’t accused of leaking classified information, but the penalties with which he was threatened were on a par with those slammed on those who did. There is reason to believe the government was especially vindictive with Swartz because of who he was, and what he represents. Then there’s the fact that Swartz embarrassed the Department of Justice itself some four years ago, in an action of information liberation that he actually got away with.
Swartz Shames the Justice Department
In 2008, DOJ briefly experimented with making PACER, its database of all federal court dockets, accessible from selected libraries for free, waiving the $.08 per page it charged users at the time. (It now costs $.10 a page to download a court document from PACER.) During that window, Swartz downloaded about 20 percent of PACER’s materials, and donated them to be accessed for free to anyone who wanted them. (PACER’s fees were shown to be well above the break-even mark for the government.) As Swartz documented a year later when he posted his own FBI file, the bureau investigated and considered charging him, but ultimately dropped the investigation.
Swartz was also a leader in political efforts to defeat a series of laws -- including the deceptively-named Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA -- intended to make it even easier for the government to prosecute copyright violations and, in the process, close off parts of the Internet. As such, Swartz must be considered a political leader who had successfully fought the same kind of legal overreach that ultimately led to the kind of aggressive prosecution that Ortiz and Heymann subjected him to.
Perhaps most important, though, are Swartz’s ties to a group of Cambridge hacktivists who -- at precisely the moment the Secret Service triggered Swartz’s first local arrest -- the government was bearing down on in its investigation of WikiLeaks and the collective known as Anonymous. After all, Swartz was first arrested (despite a lack of evidence that he intended to profit off JSTOR’s archives), just the day before Twitter informed several WikiLeaks associates the government had demanded that the microblogging site turn over information that would allow the tracking of their online activities.
During that same period, the government was subjecting Manning to what a judge has now declared illegal treatment at the Quantico brig where he was being held because, some people surmised, they wanted Manning to help build a case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Given the timing and Swartz’s proximity, as a public figure, to a community the government wanted to punish or infiltrate, it is hard to see the government’s treatment of Swartz as unrelated to its larger efforts to crush a movement dedicated to the freedom of information.
As technologist Danah Boyd sees it:
When the federal government went after him -- and MIT sheepishly played along -- they weren’t treating him as a person who may or may not have done something stupid. He was an example. And the reason they threw the book at him wasn’t to teach him a lesson, but to make a point to the entire Cambridge hacker community that they were p0wned. It was a threat that had nothing to do with justice and everything to do with a broader battle over systemic power.
In a filing from late last year defending the way in which it had collected evidence in this case, the government pointed to a 2008 manifesto that Swartz helped write as almost the sole explanation for why Swartz's choice to download the JSTOR archives at MIT -- rather than at Harvard, where, as a fellow in the Safra Center for Ethics, he had legal access to JSTOR materials -- constituted illegitimate activity.
Prosecutors, in their filing, write:
In the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, which Swartz actively participated in drafting and had posted on one of his websites, Swartz advocated ‘tak[ing] information, wherever it is stored, mak[ing] our copies and shar[ing] them with the world.’
The government essentially asserts, then, that Swartz’s First Amendment-protected call to liberate information is part of what made made its investigation of him legitimate.
More Dangerous than Bank Fraud or Drug-Dealing?
Those who know Swartz’s contributions to both the technological and political spheres find that ludicrous. Though still a young man, after all, Swartz had provided technical solutions to help people share information (through his contributions to RSS, Creative Commons, and Reddit, among others) and had pushed for ways to make our society more democratic and just (through DemandProgress and Progressive Change Campaign Committee).
The government, when it explains why it will neither prosecute banks for both foreclosure and LIBOR fraud on a massive scale nor for helping drug cartels and terrorists finance their crimes, points to their systemic importance.
Most who knew him or knew of him would say that the causes championed by Swartz -- open access to information by all and social justice -- were of true systemic importance, and that he was the kind of visionary who could lead this country through this new century. Both online and off, Swartz fought to empower ordinary people against the more powerful. And that may be precisely what DOJ so aggressively pursued him.
On Monday, a day before the family of Aaron Swartz planned to lay him to rest, the government dropped all charges against him.

Free your ski for optimal flex and unsurpassed performance with these Neox 412 bindings from Atomic. Unlike some traditional binding designs that create flat spots and suck the lively flex out of the midsection of many performance skis, the Neon 412 binding has a flex-enabling design that minimizes the ski coverage and maximizes the fluid motion. Granted, this probably isn't the type of binding beginners and green-run intermediates want to use on a recreational ski, but if you crave extra pop potential and performance (especially in the bumps), the Neox 412 treats you better than a few of the industry-leading bindings that claim to be the best. Atomic's Full Flex technology is a free gliding system that connects the heel piece to the toe piece with a durable and flexible steel band. The design keeps the ski beneath the Neox 412 from stiffening so the flex is always predictable and potentially more stable with better steering (those last two traits also depend on your specific ski selection). If the boot toe somehow turns off center when your ski flexes through lateral impact, the heel piece of the Neox 412 won't push your boot into the toe piece with the same force as traditional bindings, so you're less likely to encounter an unwanted release, and you enjoy a consistent and elastic connection with the snow on varied terrain, especially while carving. Atomic designed a special spring system that keeps your boot in the binding with a moderate forward pressure, but the steel band absorbs the longitudinal force so the forward pressure won't alter the way your skis were intended to flex. This version of the Neox 412 has a lightweight and durable aluminum frame with a versatile 4-12 DIN range that's ideal for a wide range of experienced skier abilities.

“Social justice… you see… the oppressors always underestimate the oppressed and the oppressed almost always overestimate the oppressor.”
~ Cesar Chavez (1927 – 1993)
From the first days of slavery to our own modern era, agribusiness by whatever name — mechanized or otherwise — has profited from the suppression of the labor force it has sought to marginalize. It is, indeed, the grapes of wrath which have historically been the primary harvest of those who toil in the fields to bring food to American tables.
When Cesar Chavez, himself a migrant laborer, rose to suggest publicly the notion of empowerment for these workers, small wonder a wave of cold fear and anger swept through the growers and politicians for whom the status quo represented wealth and power.
This week, on From the Vault we present a 1992 talk Cesar Chavez gave at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University recorded by Radio Free Maine. Here, Chavez relates a story of courage and commitment – the role of boycotts in attaining greater social justice in American society – in a recording entitled Reflections of Social Justice.

Assuming the nanorobot isn't tethered or designed to float passively through the bloodstream, it will need a means of propulsion to get around the body. Because it may have to travel against the flow of blood, the propulsion system has to be relatively strong for its size. Another important consideration is the safety of the patient -- the system must be able to move the nanorobot around without causing damage to the host.
Some scientists are looking at the world of microscopic organisms for inspiration. Paramecium move through their environment using tiny tail-like limbs called cilia. By vibrating the cilia, the paramecium can swim in any direction. Similar to cilia are flagella, which are longer tail structures. Organisms whip flagella around in different ways to move around.
Nanorobot designers sometimes look at microscopic organisms for propulsion inspiration, like the flagellum on this e-coli cell.
Other devices sound even more exotic. One would use capacitors to generate magnetic fields that would pull conductive fluids through one end of an electromagnetic pump and shoot it out the back end. The nanorobot would move around like a jet airplane. Miniaturized jet pumps could even use blood plasma to push the nanorobot forward, though, unlike the electromagnetic pump, there would need to be moving parts.
Another potential way nanorobots could move around is by using a vibrating membrane. By alternately tightening and relaxing tension on a membrane, a nanorobot could generate small amounts of thrust. On the nanoscale, this thrust could be significant enough to act as a viable source of motion.
In the next section, we'll look at the tools nanorobots might carry to fulfill their medical missions.

B.S. Bloom has proposed a taxonomy which is a set of three hierarchical models that refers to the classification of educational learning objectives.
Bloom's Taxonomy Identified Three Domains of Learning:
The cognitive domain involves mental skills which are categorized into six levels of learning that serve in the development of intellectual skills and acquisition power.
Stages& Subdomains of Cognitive Domain:
Hence, it could be concluded that the number of stages of cognitive domain is 6.

Skelton-Cline made the comments during the April 19, 2022, edition of his Honestly Speaking radio programme on ZBVI 780AM, where he called on Governor John J. Rankin CMG, elected officials and others in charge of law enforcement to bring answers.
Skelton-Cline added that it seems as if there is one law for one set of people, and another law for another set.
"We have the public questioning the equality, questioning the due process, questioning what is right and what is not… and I want to say to the elected officials, to the Governor, to the Chief Law Enforcement Officer is that the cumulative effects of all of this is that it continues to erode the people’s confidence in authority,” he added.
According to the man of the cloth, he is waiting for more clarity on what is happening regarding the force and what needs to be done as a result of whatever is happening in the RVIPF.
Skelton-Cline added that the confidence index of the RVIPF continues to go down a slippery slope.
“Whatever this is, we are going to have to find a way to resolve, to settle this matter, and begin to rebuild the confidence of this country in authority,” he added.
“And you can’t have the agency that is supposed to be the law of the land being looked at, viewed, and have any chatter in the public sphere as to whether or not there is any fairness and justice that is taking place,” he said.
The RVIPF has come under fire recently over for the misuse of the RVIPF police boats including in instances where officers were accused of bar hopping and taking civilians illegally out of the territory.
In the boat accident death of Frandie M. Martin Jr, questions have been raised over the handling of the case and the alleged disappearance of critical evidence connected to the case.

Old Barn Nurseries at Dial Post was started in 1991 by the Spears family but was taken over by a national chain.
However, the family-owned and run Tates of Sussex group bought the garden centre from Wyevale in 2018. And now they are also running the neighbouring expansive nursery.
Managing director Jonathan Tate said: "Acquisition of the commercial nursery was a natural progression once we had rescued Old Barn Garden Centre next door where we have made substantial investment to bring it up to modern standards."
The nursery covers four acres and is set to produce more than 200,000 plants a year which find their way to outlets across the county, not just the four Tates garden centres in Sussex.
Nursery manager Michael Esposito said: "By raising and nurturing the plants here in Sussex, we can guarantee that they will thrive in customers' gardens locally since they will be most suited to the area’s conditions.”
Michael has worked at the nursery for 18 years and oversees a dedicated workforce which cares for the plants until they are ready to be dispatched.
“With sustainability to the fore, it’s vital that we keep plant miles as low as possible which we achieve by growing here in Sussex and shipping locally,” Michael said.
“We also avoid the dangers of importing pests and diseases which is always a risk with plants grown abroad.”

Fancy an escape? Sign up to the Chill newsletter for weekly inspiration and advice on UK holidays
TripAdvisor has named Britain's best hotels – and the top B&B in the world is said to be in Scarborough.
The Toulson Court, in the Yorkshire resort town, has taken the prestigious crown for the first time.
It has eight bedrooms, including twin and family rooms, and prices start at just £70 per night.
The B&B is very close to the beach, is dog-friendly and comes with tasty breakfast items like a Full English or fresh fruit.
Meanwhile, the five-star Hari in London won the award for TripAdvisor’s top hotel.
It boasts luxurious suites, a garden terrace, bar and is nearby to fancy Harrods.
Haytor Hotel in Torquay and Edgar House in Chester also won big.
The former was voted “best small hotel”.
It’s nestled in the Devonshire seaside resort and is a former Victorian villa that dates back to the 1830s.
The lodgings boast spectacular coastal views and also have a garden terrace where you can enjoy breakfast.
Meanwhile, Edgar house is the “best romance hotel”.
The romantic hotspot is a renovated Georgian House that can be booked out by 16 guests at a time.
When it reopens next year, it will include its own cinema and games room facilities too.
TripAdvisor spokesperson Hayley Coleman said: “Now that staycations are back on in the UK and the ban on overseas travel is days away from lifting, Brits will want to start getting plans in motion for what could possibly be the most longed for holiday of their life.
"This celebration of the best of the best hotels around the world should serve as the perfect guide for discovering places to stay that are fit for the trip of a lifetime."
The UK has introduced a traffic light system for travel.
Holidaymakers are limited when it comes to places to jet off without quarantining.
So as lockdown eases more on May 14, many will be looking to take staycations instead this summer,.
With the restrictions between households mixing and meeting indoors lifting, we can make plans to stay elsewhere in the Britain.
Hotels, B&Bs, hostels and other holiday venues will be able to reopen their doors and welcome visitors to stay.
And we can't wait!

About Special Image Sensor Manufacturing Technology
There are an increasing number of applications that are different from those of conventional image sensors. Examples include obstacle detection in the automatic driving function of EVs and spectroscopic inspection in cellular testing. We possess the manufacturing technology to connect micro-scale optical elements to image sensor pixels to realize high-value-added image sensors. For example, we can provide special image sensors to the market after understanding the optical performance of micro optical element arrays, considering the best connection conditions that can maintain the performance as much as possible, making prototypes, and establishing our own mass production process.
Electron micrograph of a micro-polarizer for polarization image sensor
Photograph of a polarized high-speed image sensor
An example using this technology is a polarization high-speed image sensor. By connecting a micro-scale linear polarization element with different axis directions and a high-speed CMOS image sensor with a parallel readout circuit, we have developed a special image sensor that can capture polarization phenomena at high speed and in two dimensions. This sensor has been utilized to visualization and control of phenomena that are difficult with conventional CMOS image sensors, such as optimization of cutting conditions by analyzing stress distribution during cutting, or improvement of the acoustic effect of ultrasonic sonar by visualizing sound transmitted through space.
Thus, we always have interests in improving the optical performance of image sensors, and are constantly conducting technological researches.
Half-Mirror Polarizer for Laser Cavity
Reflectivity for each polarization can be tuned separately. As a half-mirror in a laser resonance cavity, the element is used to generate and select the output polarization of the laser. Because of its inorganic nature, the element can withstand very high optical power.
PA series measures birefringence and phase difference with high resolution of 5 million pixels at high speed, for low phase difference with a measurement range of 0 to 130 nm.
Suitable for measurement of glassware and other low phase difference targets.
By using the near-infrared band for the measurement wavelength, this system can measure birefringence/phase difference distribution even for materials that are opaque to the naked eye. Suitable for measurement targets that transmit near-infrared wavelengths, like chalcogenide lenses, LiDAR automotive components, etc.
Birefringence & Stress Strain Measurement
We have improved conventional birefringence measurement from point measurement to 2-D surface measurement. High-speed, high-precision birefringence measurement contributes to quality evaluation and functional improvement of optical materials.
