Cicada Daydream has put together a tutorial for a tote bag using a fat quarter of fabric. It uses every bit of it, so you want to make sure everything is squared and true, which may mean you need to trim a little bit here and there to get perfect measurements. The tutorial works around the various widths you encounter with fat quarters: narrow goods (45″ wide) have a width of about 20″ to 22″ usable, and wide goods (54″ wide) might have a width of 26″ to 28″ usable. Check out her other tutorials while at her site.
j carolyncreative has posted this tutorial for a tote bag. This is a 14 x 11 x 3-1/2 deep tote with one exterior pocket and two interior pockets—one zippered. It’s designed for hard wear with two layers of fabric at the bottom and straps that won’t rip off. While you’re there—and I know Valentine’s Day is gone for this year—look at her tutorial for a Valentine’s pennant and card. A neat idea!
For the animal lover, activist, or anyone with a warped sense of humor, this buck will make anyone proud. Use his antlers to hang your scarf or hat, your necklaces, or use him as wall art and dress him for any holiday you celebrate. Chronicle Books showsyou how. You make this guy is made from foam core and wrapping paper; however, that perfect hunting or camo fabric will work like a charm.
Made by Rae is offering this tutorial for her Buttercup Bag. The pattern uses a fat quarter of fabric for the outside of the bag and a little less of another fabric for the lining. You’ll also need a magnetic snap and a couple of buttons, although it looks pretty cute if you leave the buttons off. You could also try piping or ric-rac over the pleats. If you have little ones, be sure and look at her tutorial for star dust shoes. And it doesn’t take much to whip up a pair for your cutie patootie!
With Easter just around the corner, here’s AllSorts bounding bunny pin. He’s really teeny tiny, less than 3 inches across, but he looks very cute pinned to your sweater. He stitches up quickly, so you can make yourself a whole bevy of bounding baby bunnies for your Easter outfit…or Easter basket.
Finally, Amy Butler has put out two new patterns: her August Fields duvet cover and Nora’s Mid Mod 2 quilt. I love that fabric in the duvet cover. My problem is that I live in a small town, and I have one quilt shop that sells Amy Butler fabric, and not her complete line. I just know that I’m going to have to go to Houston or Austin to find this.
I’m trying to get all caught up at work before we leave for Vegas. I’m putting together an awards banquet on March 27th—the Friday after we get back—so I’m trying to get every possible thing done before we take off. So far, so good. I have a student who works for me, and I’m leaving her with some things to do, and I’ve left her my cell number in case any emergencies crop up. At home I’m doing a little bit of digitizing…no sewing. I’ve done these ‘lucky’ dice…because all I can think of these days is Vegas! You can download them on the right.
Until next time!
Once Wed shows how to make these pretty hanging handkerchief vases. Laurie has collected handkerchiefs for a while and has tried to figure out a way to incorporate them into a project. Handkerchiefs come in all different patterns and every color under the sun. You could coordinate these vases with any wedding, function, or just to dress up a room. After you’re finished with them they could easily be disassembled and the handkerchiefs and jars could be used again for their original purpose.
This next one isn’t sewing, but these cupcakes are so cute I couldn’t pass them up. And who doesn’t love the Cookie Monster? Actually, any ‘critter’ from Sesame Street would make a cute cupcake. Made by Cynthia Rae gives you the instructions right here. Be sure and check out her other tutorials for a little boy’s camping lantern made out of a peanut butter jar and a battery operated votive candle, and her how-to on how to customize coasters.
Taffy Talk has a tutorial to make a Mickey Mouse hotpad or potholder. Anything Mickey becomes a favorite to me, so I know I’ll be making some of these up for my own kitchen. Another suggestion is to shrink down the pattern and make coasters. Be sure and check on the right side column for links to other tutorials they offer…cute ones!
Here’s another cute one: the Tag Monster. CraftSchmaft gives you the pattern and instructions here. He’s a cute little guy, but just the thought of sewing on all those ribbons makes me shudder. It’s a toy but after putting in all that work I’d probably be sitting the little guy on a shelf…up high away from little fingers or puppy teeth.
Here’s a neat pin cushion. It’s a perfect way to separate all your pins and needles by size and color. The great thing is that everything used to make it can be found around your house right now. You can make something functional out of scraps and trash! You can shut the lid when you’re not using it to keep out little fingers. Check out the instructions on Whipup here.
Until next time!
Roger and I are going to Las Vegas for a week in March. Texas A&M will have spring break, and we also get a couple of days off. We’re leaving on March 14 and will be back the following Sunday. Less than a month to go! I’m already deciding in my head what all I need to pack…clothes, toiletries, shoes, the kitchen sink.
We’re driving, and we plan to stop and see some sights along the way. I definitely want to see the Hoover Dam and take the tour. I’ve spent some time online looking for things around Vegas that we’d be interested in seeing. We’re not big into gambling…a set amount and when it’s gone it’s time to leave. If any of you have any suggestions on things of interest in and around Las Vegas please let me know. I’m also interested in any quilt shops or fabric shops in and around Vegas.
Until next time!
Okay, I know we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, but I couldn’t resist giving you this link. The web site for the International Chapter of the Junior Society gives instructions how to make your own Valentine Vermin. These little felt mice sit on slices of heart-shaped Swiss cheese, and are incredibly simple to make. What kid wouldn’t want to take these to school instead of those store bought cards? What better way for them to show their friends how much they care about them and value their friendship? You have plenty of time to make dozens of these before February rolls around again.
Here’s a spot kids will like. Joe, from Toy-A-Day, has started a year-long project where he plans to design, construct and post a new paper toy from a basic template each day for one year. So you’ll have 365 toys at the end of the year. All the toys are free to download if you want to make them. You can also design and make your own by getting a copy of his blank template here. An easy way to keep kids occupied.
Many of you already may be familiar with Wild Ginger. Wild Ginger has a free program, Wild Things, that you can download to your computer. Wild Things! is a free software program that you can use to easily design and print patterns for hats, bags, shoes, and wraps. All of the patterns in Wild Things! allow you to specify the dimensions for each item you draft and prints them to the dimensions you specify.

Until next time!
Pantone has posted its fall 2009 color selections. I know, I know. We aren’t even into spring yet, much less summer, and most of us are still getting a blast of winter every few days, but at least you can see what we’ll be wearing come September—if you can afford to buy yourself new clothes in this economy. Pantone, however, considered the economy when picking the fall colors, and they are hoping their color choices will entice you to buy new pieces for your wardrobe. Here’s what they say:
The fall 2009 palette is more unique and thoughtful than the typical autumnal hues of years past. Designers recognize the desire for fundamental basics that speak to current economic conditions, but also understand the need to incorporate vibrant color to grab the consumers’ eyes and entice them to buy. Subtle contrasts make up the diverse palette for fall 2009. This season, designers play with a broad spectrum of color resulting in distinct, yet cohesive combinations. Like a painter’s palette, fall 2009 offers choice and diversity, but the unexpected integration of colors is what makes it so appealing.
A natural choice during uncertain times, patriotic American Beauty, a wonderfully balanced, true red, speaks to the need for cohesiveness. Perfect for all skin tones, American Beauty is a feel-good color. Purple Heart connotes a sense of refinement and sensuality, adding an air of creativity and excitement to the top 10, especially when paired with American Beauty. A warmer, more subdued Honey Yellow carries the 2009 color of the year through to fall and winter with its golden tones. Pairing Honey Yellow with its color wheel opposite, Purple Heart, will surely add a surprising flair. Or, for a more typical fall combination, group Honey Yellow with Burnt Sienna and Iron.
Strong yet understated Iron serves as the “new black,” making traditional basics much more interesting. Neither gray nor brown, Iron is a grounding color that coordinates well with all colors in the palette. Crème Brûlee, a grayed-down beige, and Nomad, which bridges the gap between beige and light gray, also speak to the need for timeless neutrals. All three classics can stand alone or serve as anchors when paired with other colors.
Fall would not be complete without a seasonal favorite like Burnt Sienna, a deepened, earthy shade of orange, reminiscent of an autumn sunset. Pair this versatile hue with Nomand and Rapture Rose for a different twist. Adding spark to the fall palette, Rapture Rose artfully captures the vibrancy of fuchsia and the softness of pink. Underscored by nurturing and feminine tones, Rapture Rose enlivens the more traditionally subdued fall hues. Look for it in cosmetics as well as clothing and accessories.
Like the olive in a martini, Warm Olive, a rich yellow-green, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to fall. When combined, this tangy, intriguing hue makes all other colors come alive. Look for it paired with Majolica Blue, a deep, mysterious teal blue with more vibrancy than the usual navy. Majolica Blue brings an exotic flair to the group, especially when paired with Burnt Sienna or Purple Heart.
…and here’s why. He handed me this red box. An early Valentine’s present he said.
And here’s what was inside the red box.
This is called the celestial diamond necklace. It’s a depiction of The Pleiades, a constellation also known as the Seven Sisters. According to Greek mythology, when the sisters were pursued by Orion the Hunter, Zeus answered their prayers for help by transforming then into doves, and later into stars. The necklace is a depiction of the magic of the universe. There are seven diamonds, one for each sister.
And here I am wearing it (I got my hair cut this evening, which explains all the little bits of hair on my neck).
Roger gave me the cross last year…just because. It’s a Roberto Coin. His trademark is placing a ruby on the inside of each of his jewelry pieces. It’s based on an Egyptian legend that “a ruby touching your skin brings you great happiness and good fortune.” A ruby is always positioned closest to the skin in keeping with the ancient Egyptian legend symbolizing prosperity, beauty, happiness, and health.
Thank you Mr. Wonderful!
Until next time!

In 1971, President Nixon announced the U.S. “war on drugs,” which every President since has carried forward as a battle standard. Until recently, most Latin American governments have coöperated, and in return have received intelligence, equipment, and, perhaps most importantly, financial assistance. The overall investment has been huge—the federal government now spends about fifteen billion dollars on it each year—with the net result that drug use has proliferated in the U.S. and worldwide. In the drug-producing countries, where drug consumption was negligible at the start of the American effort, the criminal narcoculture has attained ghoulishly surreal proportions.
Over the course of the past few years, a growing number of Latin American governments have begun to challenge U.S. policy and to call for a radical rethinking of the war on drugs, including widespread decriminalization. A handful of leftist governments, such as those of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia, have gone so far as to end their coöperation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, alleging that U.S. drug policy is a new form of Yankee imperialism. Uruguay, under the former President José Mujica, became the first country to legalize state-sponsored production, sale, and use of marijuana.
The latest opposition to the forty-five-year-old drug war came not from a government that is hostile to the U.S. but from its most steadfast ally in the Americas, Colombia. On May 14th, President Juan Manuel Santos announced that his government was halting its longstanding practice of spraying the country’s illicit coca crop with chemicals to kill the plants. The spraying began in the late nineties under the U.S.-sponsored Plan Colombia, which aimed to wipe out the country’s drug culture and its guerrillas, who largely depend on narcotráfico for their survival. Santos made the announcement after U.N. scientists confirmed what critics of spraying had long alleged: that glyphosate, a key ingredient in the herbicide known as Roundup, is probably carcinogenic to humans.
Colombia was the last country in the world to use chemical spraying to combat illegal drug cultivation. Citing health hazards and damage to impoverished rural economies, both Bolivia and Peru, which also grow coca, have banned aerial spraying. Afghanistan, the world’s chief supplier of opium, overrode American protests to ban spraying in 2007. The Karzai government argued that the program drove poor Afghan farmers into the hands of the Taliban by destroying their livelihoods without offering realistic economic alternatives. Similar arguments have long been made in Colombia, where millions of farmers have been driven from their land to live in urban slums.
The U.S. State and Defense Departments, which jointly oversee Plan Colombia, have always lobbied heavily in favor of spraying, which is outsourced to the giant U.S. security contractor DynCorp. DynCorp has earned hundreds of millions from its Colombian contracts, just as it previously did in Afghanistan, where it also won the government contract to implement counter-narcotics strategy. Notably, after President Santos announced the halt to spraying, that U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, Kevin Whitaker, published an Op-Ed in the leading Colombian newspaper, El Tiempo, arguing in favor of continuing the spraying campaign while saying that the U.S would continue working closely with Colombia in spite of the recent decision. Whitaker ended his Op-Ed with the English phrase “We have your back.”
So who is to be believed about the war on drugs, and what is the right way forward? After almost twenty years, many deaths, and billions of dollars spent under Plan Colombia, has illicit coca production decreased in Colombia? Overall, yes, according to the plan’s proponents: in his piece, Whitaker asserted that the area under cultivation for illegal coca production was reduced by half between 2007 and 2013. But studies also show that that area increased by thirty-nine per cent last year—so the most recent trends aren’t good. And if one third of the initial cultivation area is still left, that means that a significant amount of cocaine is still coming out of Colombia, and will be for the foreseeable future.
I would argue that the way forward on coca in Colombia—and with that country's guerrillas—is not chemical but political. Drug trafficking flourishes in countries where there is open conflict or an endemic lack of rule of law: Afghanistan, Mexico, and Colombia are all cases in point. A lasting peace deal between the government and the FARC guerrillas—who control much of the territory where coca is grown and refined for export—is probably the best possible thing that could happen. And there is reason to hope that it will, but that hope is precarious.
For the past three years, Santos’s government and the guerrillas have been involved in intense bilateral negotiations, in Havana, to bring an end to the conflict. There has been progress, including a tentative agreement to end coca production in return for land reform and government investment in alternative livelihoods. The talks are hung up right now on the question of justice for FARC leaders. In return for its concessions, the government would like to see them spend a certain number of years in specially created zones that would effectively be prisons. The guerrilla leaders are resisting, rightly pointing out that, in the past, the government has not honored its promises. After a peace agreement was reached in the eighties, thousands of former guerrillas who had received amnesties were hunted down and killed in a government-linked assassination campaign. (Earlier today, after a government raid killed twenty-six of its fighters in the field, the FARC suspended the unilateral ceasefire it declared in December, but declared its willingness to continue with the peace talks in Havana.)
Privately, senior government officials who are involved in the talks concede that they have a credibility problem. They also concede that, on their own side, there are military officers who bitterly oppose a deal with the rebels and who fear being eventually brought to justice for human-rights abuses that they themselves have committed. In a scandal that broke in 2008, which is still under investigation, Colombia’s Army was implicated in the extra-judicial killings of as many as forty-five hundred people, including many non-combatants, who were murdered to obtain financial benefits offered to soldiers in a government-sponsored bounty scheme. Government officials also admit that a number of their own battlefield commanders are war profiteers, who have skimmed millions from illegally mined gold, bribes from oil companies, kickbacks from those involved in the cocaine trade, and from widespread corruption in military procurements. But for the time being, the government feels too weak to go after them to the same extent it seeks to do with the FARC. As always, the problem is rule of law. In Colombia, a grand bargain hangs in the balance, and it goes far beyond chemical spraying.

“The completion of this project is a huge step forward for Transit,” says Louis Leclair, Transit’s president. “We have always been committed to innovation and providing customers with efficient, high-performance products. We’re focused on designing the green truck boxes of tomorrow. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the e-Classik box mounted on a Lion6 chassis. Forty percent lighter, it’s an innovative product that is available right now in both Canada and the United States, and it is an important tool in our customers’ transition to EV journey.”
Designed by Transit under an upfitter partnership model, this zero-emission vehicle features an e-Classik box, which is much lighter than the standard model and has been specifically adapted to urban roads. This vehicle was developed as part of the Mobel mobilization project that the government of Quebec is helping to finance.
“We’re very proud of the launch of this new vehicle that further demonstrates the versatility of Lion’s electric chassis,” comments Marc Bédard, CEO and founder of Lion Electric. “Congratulations to the Transit team on their vision! For several years, our two teams have been working diligently to create 100% electric products that advance our industry. Today, the e-Classik box combined with our Lion6 chassis allows us not only to meet transportation fleet needs, but also society’s expectations as we fight climate change and transition to zero-emission transportation.”
“Quebec has the potential to be a leader in transportation electrification, hence our government helping fund many projects to electrify all kinds of vehicles,” states Benoit Charette, Minister of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, Minister Responsible for the Fight Against Racism and Minister Responsible for the Laval Region. “In a way, it’s one of Quebec’s contributions to the global fight against climate change. And I am very proud of what we’re doing. Every new innovation that chooses electrification over fossil fuels is one more step towards reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and achieving Quebec’s greenhouse gas objectives.”
“This new electric commercial vehicle once again confirms Quebec’s leadership in transportation electrification. It’s through projects like this one between Transit and Lion that we can build a green and innovative economy,” concludes Pierre Fitzgibbon, Minister of Economy and Innovation and Minister for Regional Economic Development.

This is a particularly futile question, but I can’t help asking it. I’m sure right now millions of others are asking the same question. Why? What on earth made you think it was a good idea to plough a lorry through a pedestrianised area and kill dozens of people? How does that help whatever cause you think you have? What conceivable god could be in your heart telling you to do that? What, if anything, is in your heart besides anger?
I don’t think I shall ever understand the things people do in the name of god. I once heard a story of a nun who shouted ‘God! Is! Love!’ at a child, beating him with a book on every syllable.
I don’t think I shall ever understand why people think they can enter paradise by killing others.
I don’t think I shall ever understand the excitement that runs through you as you plan your killing. Why don’t you see the blood, why don’t you feel the pain? Why don’t you hear the children?
You must be excited, I guess. You must be fuelled by adrenaline as you jump into that lorry in the hills, armed with your fierce intention, holding the steering-wheel like an AK47, driving the truck like a bomb. Your heart is a missile.
I don’t think I will ever understand.
Your purpose is steely as you head for the town. Do you think about the people who will die? Do you see them? Or are they just devils to you: devils in cafes and shops; devils with their devil families, devils on terraces drinking wine and enjoying the satanic evening sun? That must be it, I guess. You couldn’t do it otherwise.
We must all be devils to you. I am a little demon eating my muesli and watching the news: my children are succubi and my husband has cloven hooves. My friends are Lucifer and Mammon. We drink satanic wine and chat on the terrace.
Because you have divided us. You have divided us into good and evil; angels and demons. You yourself are on the side of the angels, and to prove it you must blow up a few devils from time to time. Else the Archangel Gabriel will get cross with you and throw you out of heaven. You must prove your loyalty; here, now.
You must prove your honour.
Here is your honour. On the bloody bodies. Here is your honour, written on the dead bodies of the children. here is your honour on the splattered streets and torn cafes, on the fear and chaos and mayhem.
Don’t speak to me of honour. Because I will never understand.
RIP the victims of Nice.

One thing not on markdown for Sports Authority: legal services.
On March 8, the beleaguered sporting goods retailer asked a bankruptcy court’s permission to pay lawyers from California-based firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher as much as $1,215 an hour.
According to court filings, partner Robert A. Klyman would command that fee, the highest hourly billing rate of any Gibson Dunn attorney on the case. Next in line is Gibson Dunn partner Jennifer Bellah Maguire, who charges $1,110 an hour, according to the billing rates listed in court filings.
Maguire is followed by two more partners at around $1,060 an hour each.
Both Klyman and Maguire are based out of Gibson Dunn’s Los Angeles headquarters, according to the company website. A single Denver-based associate, Jeremy L. Graves, is listed in the filings. His hourly rate is $795.
The most junior paralegals would work the Sports Authority case for $395 an hour.
As a debtor-in-possession, Sports Authority must seek court approval to pay the professionals it employs.
The hourly fees don’t count reimbursement fees Sports Authority also would pay its lawyers to cover administrative costs. In a case that already has 238 docket entries, for example, court documents say that photocopying will cost Sports Authority 10 cents per page.
Sports Authority already paid Gibson Dunn $3.6 million in fees plus $80,000 in reimbursements in the year before it filed for bankruptcy. If the judge approves Sports Authority’s request, the retailer would shell out an additional $750,000 in pre-bankruptcy dues to Gibson Dunn.

Amazon.com, Inc. gave back a bit on Tuesday after gaining 3.68% to close at $683.85 on Monday. The stock is close to crossing the $700 milestone. Shares of the firm soared on Monday after the stock had an explosive 10% gain on Friday because Wall Street was impressed with its better than expected first quarter (Q1 2016) earnings.
Amazon is in the midst of an amazing rally; the stock has recorded 61.75% gains in its share price in the last one year as shown in the chart below. However, the stock started 2016 on a weak note and its year-to-date gain is a mere 1.20% as seen in the chart below.
You’ll observe that the shares of Jeff Bezos’ firm are up 1.20% in the YTD, but its performance is below the 1.83% gains in the S&P 500 and the 2.68% gains in the Dow Jones. However, the stock has soared after the rally that the general equities markets started enjoying in February; the stock has gained almost 45% from February to date.
Here’s what analysts think about the prospects of Amazon
Analysts are optimistic about the prospects of Amazon going forward. To start with, the consensus price target suggests that the stock will run to $800 per share to mark a 16.98% upside from its current trading price.
Analysts are particularly impressed with the rate at which the firm is entering news businesses such as the fashion retail business – the firm recently bought up a range of fashion brands. Cowen analyst, John Blackledge opines that Amazon could become the biggest fashion retailer in the U.S. by 2017.
Another analyst, R.J. Hottovy of Morningstar notes that growth into new business lines and marketing initiatives such as free shipping will yield returns for the firm going forward. Blackledge says, “The biggest investment risk with Amazon is Jeff Bezos’ brain. It all depends on how aggressive Amazon wants to be… As long as Amazon’s investments build the user base, then I still think there is some upside to the stock.”
Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities agrees that the stock might be somewhat pricey even as it trades with a PE of almost 130X. Nonetheless, he observes that “You’re not paying this much for Amazon because you like the quarter. You’re paying this much because you think earnings are going to go up a lot… The only reason for it to trade at this valuation is because people think Amazon will make $20 to $30 a share a year some day.”
For what its worth, the oracle of Omaha, Billionaire investor Warren Buffet seems to admire Jeff Bezos at least based on insinuations from some of his remarks during the last Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting. When asked about how the effect of online retailers on brick and mortal stores, Buffet says “there are certain people you’ll not want to meet at their own game and Jeff Bezos is number 1… We’re not going to out-Bezos Bezos.”
He admitted that Berkshire was slow to embracing the Internet. Jeff Bezo’s Amazon.com is practically killing Wal-Mart and Walmart is one of the biggest holdings in Berkshire’s portfolio.


President Joe Biden signed legislation that requires critical infrastructure entities to report a hack or significant cyber incident within 72 hours.
On March 15, President Joe Biden signed into law omnibus legislation that would fund the government through Sept. 30, 2022.
Among other things, the legislation also included key provisions from the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act, which would require critical infrastructure entities to report to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within 72 hours when they are hacked or suffer a significant cyber incident. The provision also requires critical infrastructure entities to report if they make a ransomware payment within 24 hours.
Previous U.S. government definitions of critical infrastructure have included sixteen different sectors, including the financial services sector. CISA's website currently notes that “the financial services sector includes thousands of depository institutions, providers of investment products, insurance companies, other credit and financing organizations, and the providers of the critical financial utilities and services that support these functions."
Importantly, the language in the omnibus requires CISA to propose rulemaking within 24 months and for that rulemaking to be finalized 18 months after that, so any potential requirement is likely years away. Additionally, the legislation gives CISA broad authority in its rulemaking and tasks the agency with defining important specifics, including what constitutes a covered entity, which cybersecurity incidents must be reported, and the required content of such reports.
As CISA moves through the rulemaking process over the next several years, the Big “I" plans to be active and advocate on behalf of its members, while providing any new updates in the weekly News & Views e-newsletter.
Wyatt Stewart is Big “I" assistant vice president of federal government affairs.

Honduras and the US-China inter-imperialist rivalry
Written by: (Contributed) on 25 March 2023
Xiomara Castro Photo by Redacción is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
The announcement that Honduras was changing its diplomatic allegiance to China and away from Taiwan has marked a further instalment in an unfolding Cold War drama taking place in Central America. The US has, historically, used Taiwan as a major player with their diplomatic control of the tiny region, sandwiched between the huge northern US and vast, sprawling south of Latin America.
The announcement from Tegucigalpa, therefore, formed part of a significant shift in the balance of forces away from traditional US-led hegemonic positions in Central America and their CAFTA trade bloc.
In mid-March President Xiomara Castro of Honduras announced she had instructed her Foreign Minister, Eduardo Reina, 'to undertake the opening of official relations with the People's Republic of China'. (1) The presidential administration promised they would, 'immediately open diplomatic and trade relations with China'. (2) The given reason for the diplomatic switch was due to Honduras negotiating a Chinese aid program to build a hydro-electric dam called Patuca II. China has stepped up infra-structure projects elsewhere across the southern half of the Americas, including the construction of another dam in Honduras, Patuca III. The Honduran government has been keen to facilitate economic development projects and the boosting of energy supplies remain a high priority.
Honduras, historically, had strong diplomatic ties with Taiwan, which formed part of a US-led alignment toward Central America. Slowly, however, a shifting balance of forces has seen the countries of the region shift toward China; Taiwan now only has full diplomatic links with Guatemala and the tiny UK-led enclave of Belize. In recent years Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic have severed their links with Taiwan.
Taipei, now, has only 'representatives' in Costa Rica and El Salvador.
The move by Nicaragua toward China proved particularly significant: presidential elections in 2021 saw a massive US-led destabilisation program, some of which was alleged to have been funnelled through Taiwanese diplomacy.
It is important, nevertheless, to place the recent example of Honduras into a more meaningful context: Honduras has had a difficult history with widespread US interference in their political system with serious implications for ordinary Honduran people. (3) Ruling presidential administrations have, historically, been right-wing and openly supportive of 'US interests', with little respect for lower socio-economic groups and Indigenous peoples.
The election of Xiomara Castro as president, however, marked a significant change. Bearing left-wing political credentials, she has maintained widespread support amongst the fifty per cent of the country who continue to live in poverty. Xiomara Castro is also the wife of former President Manuel Zelaya, elected in 2006, who was toppled in a US-led military coup in 2009: the Zelaya administration opened diplomatic relations with both Cuba and Venezuela, which were assessed as counter to 'US interests'.
When former US national security advisor, John Bolton, admitted 'he has helped plan coups in other countries', Honduras was likely to be high on the list of examples. (4) He was noted as advocating US-led military intervention in Venezuela while in office. (5) It was not coincidental that political chicanery within the legal system, similar to other US-led initiatives in Venezuela, was also evident with the ousting of President Manual Zelaya. (6)
While a great deal of US-led interference in Honduras has been conducted in the form of covert operations, the same does not hold for the military and those with whom they remain associated, in Honduras. Studies of the CIA secret wars in Central America during the 1980s revealed US officials meeting the Honduran armed forces chief, General Gustavo Alvarez, 'who was in charge of the Honduran end of the operation … to invade Nicaragua … and topple the Sandinista government in Managua'. (7) So much for Nicaraguan sovereignty!
Honduras has long been regarded by Washington and the Pentagon as the hub for 'US interests' in Central America. And old habits, for organisers of US operations, die hard.
The same period also included the US using Honduras as a hub for drug-trafficking to finance covert operations with the Contra against Nicaragua. The problem has had a long-time history to the present day. It is also institutional: following Iran-Contra revelations decades ago, in 2019 the younger brother of the then President Juan Hernandez was sentenced to thirty years in prison in the US for cocaine trafficking. (8) It was followed by the extradition of the former president last year to face similar charges in the US together with massive money laundering, indicating corruption at the highest levels in Honduras. (9)
Behind the scenes, however, the tide would appear to be turning against the US: the election of President Xiomara Castro has provided Honduran people with a credible challenge to the neo-colonial type of economic relations foisted upon their country by Washington and the Pentagon. In 2005, for example, the US began moves to establish the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which was fully implemented the following year. Taiwan was a major player, with the main rationale being to undermine cheap Chinese exports into the US.
The switching of diplomatic relations with Honduras from Taiwan to China is, therefore, a major blow to the US. When an official statement was issued from the Foreign Ministry in Taipei announcing 'serious concern', it was, in reality, a joint diplomatic note from the Biden administration in Washington.
The implementation of CAFTA included the small region hosting large numbers of trade parks and other economic ventures based on massive exploitation of workers. It has also been held responsible for repression against those who seek to organise workers. In Guatemala a total of 68 trade unionists were assassinated over a seven-year period, without a single arrest being made. (10) Industrial relations in Honduras are little better.
CAFTA has been held responsible for destroying the livelihoods of small farmers and US textile workers and was a deal 'sold with false promises'. (11) Honduras remains a predominantly agricultural country. CAFTA has also contributed to the economic instability of Honduras and the wider region and created conditions for illegal migration of dispossessed and expropriated people, desperate for a better life for themselves and their families. The 'caravans' of asylum-seekers attempting to settle in the US, after walking across the Rio Grande have to be seen in this light.
In conclusion, recent developments in Honduras and Central America can be viewed in line with a reaction against US-led tutelage of the economies and political systems of the region!

When I was a kid, I remember thinking that the other kids that go 'grounded' had it made- I always figured that was a great way to discipline and figured that was the way I would do it when I was a parent. I was just thinking the other day- I have never grounded my kids, lol! I parent much differently then I thought I would- how about you? Do you parent the same way you pictured you would before you had kids? What's different then you expected?
I do time outs and groundings for my teens. I grew up in a household where spanking was used.

Mr Duemer (Joseph?) has, as I mentioned in the comment box down the page somewhere, just torn a strip off me for talking out of my arse. Probably fairly, in that case.
I’ve always been one to offer strong opinions from a position of ignorance. But, at the risk of turning a character flaw into a philosophy of life, I’m not sure it’s such a bad thing. That’s because I see of it as symptomatic of thinking for myself. Sometimes it means spending hours thinking about something and then reaching an opinion which everyone else thinks is bloody obvious anyway. Sometimes it means saying something which you look back on later and feel like an eejit. But at least it’s an attempt to reach your own opinion rather than just accept what you’re told.
There are some caveats, though. You need to be aware of the ignorance, so you are aware of the possibility (likelihood?) that you’re talking crap. You need to be willing to change your opinion in the face of a new fact, or a better argument. And you have to try and take it in good spirit when someone points out the crap that you’ve been talking.
I’ve always been annoyed by people who are proud to be ignorant – even if it’s just being proud never to have watched Desperate Housewives. But I also think it’s a pity when people don’t feel able to offer opinions on things because they feel that somehow it’s not their place to do so.
One reply on “Talking out of one’s arse – an apologia”
To continue the train of thought: commenting on things American is clearly a case in point. One of the natural dynamics of blogging is to read other people’s blogs and respond to them. Since the blogoworld is overwhelmingly American, that means I’m often tempted to make comments on US subjects, even though I know perfectly well that my knowledge of America is second-hand and partial. Sometimes I bite my tongue, sometimes I hedge my comments with reservations, and sometimes I just make them anyway.


India, December 15, 2023 — Quantum, the leader in solutions for unstructured data, today announced that MR Datentechnik, a leading German IT solutions and managed services provider, has implemented Quantum ActiveScale™ object storage as the foundation of their new MR S3 Storage Service supporting customers’ needs for backup and recovery, archiving, and data security. MR Datentechnik offers a resilient, highly scalable service providing customers with seamless, simple data storage, protection, and access at predictable and low cost. By deploying ActiveScale, MR Datentechnik has relied on its built-in automation and simplicity at scale to achieve rapid growth, profitable new revenue, and high customer satisfaction.
To provide an economical, fully managed service, MR Datentechnik needed a storage platform that could seamlessly scale and minimize administrative complexity. With Dynamic Data Placement, ActiveScale provides performance at scale, even as the system expands over time to meet MR Datentechnik’s growing demands to add more capacity and users. ActiveScale’s web-based interface simplifies account and user management, access keys, health monitoring, capacity, performance, and more.
Building on ActiveScale has helped MR Datentechnik drive swift growth for their new storage service. “Thanks to ActiveScale’s ability to automate the onboarding process, we can easily onboard customers in under a day,” says Jochen Kraus, managing director, MR Datentechnik. “With that fast onboarding, we’ve been able to add customers to our service much more quickly than we anticipated. We have reached our two-year growth target goals in less than a year.”
Creating an S3-compatible service was a top priority for MR Datentechnik. The team wanted to support S3 applications and workflows for easy integration with its cloud storage solution. And, because the MR Datentechnik team focused first on the backup use case, it was essential that the underlying storage platform integrate seamlessly with the latest version of Veeam Backup & Replication. With ActiveScale as the foundation, MR Datentechnik protects critical customer data to ensure continuous business operations for their clients.
“Quantum ActiveScale provides the reliable, highly scalable, S3-compatible object storage we needed for building our new storage service,” says Kraus. “The platform is stable even under high loads, and it offers sophisticated software that is extremely useful for our multi-tenant environment.”

The Spoiled Child by William C. Brownlee
An authentic narrative of a wealthy, morally upright man that was well respected in his town. When his only son grew to seventeen, he began to see that the boy was spoiled. He lamented his inability to discipline his child as was properly needed. Brownlee speaks of what a spoiled child looks like and what is needed for correction. He points to disrespect for God, wrong associations, no love for church and too much money at their disposal as causes for children to develop bad character. He made a point of how to gain true submission and reverence for parents. The pastor visited the son years later when he is into his adult life, and saw desolation and wretchedness.
The American Tract Society description: The effects of early indulgence, bad company, profusion of money, etc., in a life of intemperance and a premature death.
Paperback 4X6, 82 pages, 1 illustration, ISBN 9781941281895, Vintage Chapbook Series
WILLIAM CRAIG BROWNLEE, (1783(4)–1860), was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1803 he graduated with a Master’s degree from the University of Glasgow. In 1807 he married Mariah McDougall in Scotland. In 1808, he went to America, after being licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Sterling. In 1813, he was a pastor at the Associate Scotch Church at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1816, he took charge of the Academy of Queen’s College. In 1819, he went to the Presbyterian Church at Baskingridge, New Jersey. In 1824, he received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the University of Glasgow. In 1825, he was appointed Professor of Languages in Rutgers College. In 1826, he was the pastor of the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church in New York City. In 1843, he had a bad attack of paralysis and was disabled. He was the editor of “The Magazine of the Reformed Dutch Church,” and “The American Protestant Vindicator.” He wrote a novel called “The Whigs of Scotland.”

The theme for the United Nations Observance of International Women’s Day 2021 (8 March) is “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world, on the way to the Generation Equality Forum.” In addition to featuring and celebrating the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will also ‘lift the curtain’ and bring increased attention to this year’s Generation Equality Forums in Mexico City (29-31 March 2021) and Paris (June 2021).
Women of the world want and deserve an equal future free from stigma, stereotypes and violence; a future that’s sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all. To get us there, the world needs women at every table where decisions are being made.
Women’s full and effective participation and leadership in of all areas of life drives progress for everyone. Yet, women are still underrepresented in public life and decision-making, as revealed in the UN Secretary-General’s recent report. Women are Heads of State or Government in 22 countries, and only 24.9 per cent of national parliamentarians are women. At the current rate of progress, gender equality among Heads of Government will take another 130 years.
Women are also at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, as front-line and health sector workers, as scientists, doctors and caregivers, yet they get paid 11 per cent less globally than their male counterparts. An analysis of COVID-19 task teams from 87 countries found only 3.5 per cent of them had gender parity.
When women lead, we see positive results. Some of the most efficient and exemplary responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were led by women. And women, especially young women, are at the forefront of diverse and inclusive movements online and on the streets for social justice, climate change and equality in all parts of the world. Yet, women under 30 are less than 1 per cent of parliamentarians worldwide.
This is why, this year’s International Women’s Day is a rallying cry for Generation Equality, to act for an equal future for all. The Generation Equality Forum, the most important convening for gender equality investment and actions, kicks off in Mexico City from 29 – 31 March, and culminates in Paris in June 2021. It will draw leaders, visionaries, and activists from around the world, safely on a virtual platform, to push for transformative and lasting change for generations to come.

Two men survived being shot in Hartford over the weekend, one in the south part of the city, the other in the north, police said.
The first shooting happened early Saturday in the area of 768 Maple Ave., they said. Police received a 2 a.m. ShotSpotter alert, and when officers arrived, they found evidence of gunfire, but no victim.
Moments later, a man in his 40s with multiple gunshot wounds turned up at an area hospital, police said. Police did not say how he is doing.
Another man was shot early Sunday in the northern part of the city at a rental venue of the West Indian Social Club, police said.
Officers were patrolling near the club at 3340 Main St. just before 1 a.m. when someone came out and told them there had been gunshots inside, Lt. Aaron Boisvert reported.
Officers ran in and evacuated the rental venue that’s behind the club, but didn’t find the victim. Instead, shortly afterward a man in his 20s arrived at a city hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound.
A representative of the West Indian Social Club said Sunday that the facility had been leased by the West Indian American Center, operated by Stewart Blueland LLC. It is directly behind the club itself, but is owned by the club.
“Stewart Blueland and the promoters who rent the venue are not affiliated with the West Indian Social Club of Hartford,” Marketing Director Shauna Whitter said in an email. “The West Indian Social Club was closed at the time of the alleged shooting. No patron or member of the West Indian Social Club was involved.”
The club was the scene of several attacks years ago. A man was shot in December 2014, four people were stabbed in a melee in April 2012, and a 19-year-old man was shot dead on the dance floor in 2006.
The police department’s Major Crimes and Crime Scene divisions are investigating both shootings. Anyone with information about either one is asked to call the police tip line at 860-722-8477 (TIPS).

Seasonal patterns in diversity and abundance of the High Antarctic meroplankton: Plankton sampling using a Ross Sea desalination plant
Limnol. Oceanogr., 56(5), 2011, 1667-1681 | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2011.56.5.1667
ABSTRACT: The Antarctic marine environment is thermally stable, yet shows pronounced seasonality in the light : dark cycle, primary productivity, and the extent of sea-ice cover. Thorson's Rule, predicting reduced meroplankton diversity at high latitudes, was based on the perceived difficulties in completing larval development at low temperatures and within the short summer period of phytoplankton production. Yet few studies have addressed seasonal patterns in Antarctic meroplankton diversity and abundance, especially in the High Antarctic. Here we circumvented logistical difficulties in conducting winter plankton sampling by using the 100-µm primary filter on the desalination plant at Scott Base in McMurdo Sound, Ross Sea (77°51′S), to sample embryos and larvae. Using samples from an entire calendar year we found no seasonal changes in either embryo or larval operational taxonomic unit (OTU) diversity with season, no seasonal changes in embryo abundance (5000 L−1), but a peak in larval abundance during the period of the summer phytoplankton bloom (maximum 295 larvae 5000 L−1). While some OTUs showed a strong seasonality, there was also a high diversity of both embryos and larvae during the autumn and winter, and some OTUs were present in the meroplankton year-round. Annelids, molluscs, and echinoderms were dominant members of the Ross Sea meroplankton, showing similar prevalence to that seen at Signy (60°43′S) and Adelaide Islands (67°34.5′S). The use of the desalination plant primary filter allows plankton samples to be collected year-round, even in the High Antarctic with permanent sea-ice and 4 months of 24-h darkness.


Are Health Care Law Challenges in the Rear View? Three Cases to Watch
Many assumed that when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its historic decision to uphold the the health care law, the legal challenges would cease. The recent reelection of Barak Obama also signaled that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would not be repealed. Yet, the sweeping health care law is still not a done deal.
A number of cases are currently making their way through the federal court system that could upend at least some ACA provisions. Many of the lawsuits have amended their claims to launch new constitutional challenges in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in June.
The cases raise a variety of challenges, including religious freedom, state sovereignty, and due process. Below are three cases to watch:
Wheaton College and Belmont Abbey College v. Sebelius
This case is one of over thirty cases challenging the ACA’s “contraceptive mandate.” The term refers to regulations that will require qualifying health insurance plans to provide coverage for contraceptives and “morning after” pills. Although the regulations contain an exemption for religious institutions, colleges and universities with religious ties and other non-profit organizations have so far only been given a one-year “safe harbor” from enforcement. Wheaton College and Belmont Abbey College subsequently filed suit, arguing that the requirement to cover contraception violates their constitutional rights guaranteed under the First Amendment’s speech, free exercise and establishment clauses, among other legal challenges.
Lower courts have dismissed the case for lack of ripeness and standing, holding that the safe harbor provisions guarantee that the two colleges will not suffer any harm for at least one year. The dismissals further noted that the federal government has indicated that it is considering a longer-term solution. On appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Wheaton College and Belmont Abbey College argue that the possibility that the federal government will change course is not enough to strip the case of standing. They further argue that the unsettled nature of their obligations is causing harm now.
State of Oklahoma v. Sebelius
In this ACA challenge, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt argues that the individual and employer mandates cannot be enforced in his state because of a 2010 amendment to the Oklahoma constitution. It prohibits any rule or law forcing a person, employer or health care provider to participate in a health care system. Forcing Oklahoma to comply with the ACA would violate its state sovereignty, according to the suit.
Pruitt is also seeking to overturn an Internal Revenue Service regulation that authorizes federal subsidies and tax credits for insurance purchases on state or federally run health insurance exchanges. (The federal government will run exchanges in states that decline to establish their own.) The lawsuit maintains that the IRS overstepped its statutory authority by including tax credits through federal exchanges because they were not expressly included in the language of the ACA. Although it may seem like a technicality, the disconnect between the ACA and the IRS regulation could hamper the creation of health care exchanges.
Sissel v. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed this health care challenge on behalf of a small business owner from Iowa. It argues that the mandate to purchase health insurance is a tax that violates the Constitution’s Origination Clause, because the ACA originated in the Senate and not the House. The Origination Clause states, “All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other bills.”
To get the legislation passed, the Senate inserted the ACA provisions into a previously approved House bill dealing with tax credits for homebuyers. The bill, often referred to as a “shell bill,” was stripped of its provisions and replaced by the ACA amendments. While the courts are generally lenient with respect to Congress’ use of this procedure, the case presents an interesting legal challenge.

Yra Harris: Currency Wars are Real !
- Yra Harris: Currency Wars are Real !
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Legendary trader Yra Harris says, “The currency wars are real, and the game is on.” Harris says the global currency war is what helped Volkswagen gain market share in the last few years. So, what is Japan doing? It is cutting the value of its currency so Toyota will gain market share. The currency war is also what’s been driving gold higher. Harris says, “Is gold in a bull market? Absolutely. Is gold a tired bull for the moment? Absolutely. . . . I think you’d be crazy to sell because there are so many variables of uncertainty.” Harris goes on to predict, “What do I think is the most explosive event for gold? It is the day Draghi (President of the ECB) can no longer jawbone quantitative easing. He actually has to step up to the plate.” Harris is counting on the Fed to continue to pump out dollars. He says, “I can go to sleep at night and know one thing–the Fed will not allow deflation.” The reason is simple, according to Harris, “We live on debt in this society. Debt based societies cannot absorb a deflationary spiral.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with analyst and trader Yra Harris.

Back on January 19, 2011, during the height of the left’s brief “new civility” tirade, CNN, which for 23 years hosted a popular debate show called Crossfire (which featured crosshairs in its logo), had this treacly moment:
On Tuesday’s John King USA, CNN’s John King issued a prompt on-air apology minutes after a guest on his program used the term “crosshairs” during a segment: “We’re trying to get away from using that kind of language” (audio available here). This action stands in stark contrast to an incident over a year earlier where former anchor Rick Sanchez took four days to apologize for using a unconfirmed quote attributed to Rush Limbaugh.
Fellow CNN anchor Roland Martin would quickly echo King’s calls for increased civility. “If we are to embrace the notion of civility and humility in our discourse, that means not falling into our old habits,” the employee of Time-Warner, which owns CNN, wrote.
HBO has apologized for a scene in its hit fantasy series “Game of Thrones” that showed the decapitated head of former President George W. Bush on a pike and said the scene will be removed from future DVD releases.
In the audio commentary on the Season 1 DVD release of “Game of Thrones,” the show’s lead producers, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, pointed out that a scene showing the heads of several vanquished warriors included Mr. Bush’s, obscured under a long wig but recognizable in profile.
“The last head on the left is George Bush,” the producers say in the audio commentary. “George Bush’s head appears in a couple beheading scenes. It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement. It’s just, we had to use what heads we had around.”
Why was a George W. Bush head or mask, or whatever the prop started out as on the set? Did anyone on the set try to warn the director that using it might not be a good idea? And considering how badly the MSM wet themselves over Sarah Palin’s use of clip art, why the double-standard here?
Hollywood’s disdain for, and even hatred of, George W. Bush isn’t news. What is surprising, however, are the reactions of liberal media outlets. I09.com calls the revolting scene “one hell of a dragon egg.” The tone of a Huffington Post article is one of poorly restrained glee, the first line gives no hint of revulsion or even recognition of Benioff and Weiss’s poor taste: “For those who ever wanted to see former President George W. Bush’s head on a silver platter, ‘Game of Thrones’ is serving up something possibly even more gruesome,” suggesting that the desire to see a another human being’s severed head paraded around on a stick is a perfectly reasonable feeling, not one to be discouraged.
Had Benioff and Weiss chosen to use Barack Obama’s head instead of George W. Bush’s, it’s quite a stretch to imagine the Huffington Post shrugging it off with the line, “Who would have believed [King Joffrey] was a Republican?”
As the professor would say, “So much for that ‘New Civility’ bullshit.” And for those who don’t recall, the previous decade had loads of eliminationist fantasies regarding GWB coming from the Hollywood left.
The New York Times notes that HBO quickly issued the standard conciliatory boilerplate:
HBO said in a statement: “We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste. We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this careless mistake. We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and have halted all future shipments of the DVDs, removed it from our digital platforms and will edit the scene for all future airings on any distribution domestic or international.”
Fine. When will they apologize for this?
