Gettysburg in Adams County, Pennsylvania — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
The Tank Corps was new. There were no precedents except in basic training and I was the only officer in the command. Now I really began to learn about responsibility.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends
During World War I, the fields of Pickett's Charge became crowded with tents, barracks, workshops, and firing ranges. In March of 1918, Captain Dwight D. Eisenhower had been sent here to take command of Camp Colt, the home of the U.S. Army's new technology, the tank. It was Eisenhower's first independent command. His job - "to take in volunteers, equip, organize, and instruct them" - was made more difficult at first, because he had no tanks!
The fledgling Tank Corps practiced with machine guns mounted to flatbed trucks. They learned to repair engines and to tap out Morse code. By summer the soldiers practiced with three new Renault tanks. In the eight months before war's end, as many as 10,000 men passed through Camp Colt. Eisenhower's leadership here earned him the Distinguished Service Medal.

1:44 PM – Friday, July 7, 2023
The office of Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the probe into 45th President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of sensitive documents, has spent almost $5.5 million in the first four months of the investigation.
The statement of expenditure of the office of Special Counsel was released on Friday and it revealed that $5.5. million were spent by Smith between November 2022 and March 2023.
According to the disclosure, $1,881,926 were spent on “contractual services” which included $1,674,947 that were spent on “litigation/investigative support,” $143,493 used for “IT services,” $63,151 on “transcripts,” and $335 “for other services.”
$2.6 out of the $5.5 million were spent on personnel compensation, and $456,808 were used for “rent, communication, and utilities.”
Along with the $5.5 million that were spent by Smith, an additional $3.8 million were spent by other Department of Justice entities to support Smith and his investigation. The additional $3.8 million included payments for “hours worked by agents and investigative support analysts” as well as protective detail for the Smith “when warranted.”
In total, the Department of Justice has spent nearly $9.2 million as part of the investigation into Trump.
In comparison, John Durham spent a total of $7,683,839 in the two and half years that he spent investigating the supposed Russian interference in the United States election.
Meanwhile, $615,962 were spent by Special Counsel Robert Hur since he was assigned to investigate President Joe Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents when he was serving as Vice President.
Smith has received criticism and has been under scrutiny since he was selected to lead the investigation. Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-Ga.) has also introduced a bill aimed at defunding the office of Jack Smith.
Trump faces 37 felony counts which include making false statements, conspiracy to obstruct justice and willful retention of national defense information, related to the more than 100 classified documents that were recovered from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 2022.
He pled not guilty on all counts and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has maintained his innocence.

Hi, I have 2 svc 10's that handle 250 rms and 500 watts peak each. I have a 2 channel amp that is capable of 100 x2 4 ohms, and 200 x2 2 ohms, stereo. It's bridged power is 400 x 1, mono. Am I better off to bridge the amp and run my subs in a series? would that sound better than the 4 ohm stereo run? How many watts would each sub see in the bridged/series run? thank you for your help.
In series, your subs would make an 8 ohm load, and with an 8 ohm bridge, it would be equivalent to the output in 4 ohm stereo, it would just be combined to one channel. In short, it will be 200 watts RMS on an 8 ohm bridge, the same as if it were running 4 ohm stereo, the main difference is that it would be run in mono. Bridged would be the way to go IMO.
Im wondering if I should just run one 10" sub bridged until I get another amp. Do you think that would sound better than two 10's with 100 watts each. 400 watts to one sounds like a no brainer.
The two will be a little bit louder than the one will for the power. It won't hurt anything as long as you don't send the amplifier into bad clipping. I'd just run the two until you can get a larger amplifier that matches well with your subs.


Men plead not guilty to defrauding railroad
SMITHVILLE — Two Smithville men face a September trial on charges they defrauded the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that 47-year-old Kenny Avery and 44-year-old Allen Duncan pleaded not guilty yesterday to one federal count of fraud by wire, radio or television.
Their July 1 indictment, sealed until the hearing, told Magistrate Jerry A. Davis that the men conspired to receive more than $350,000 from BSNF by submitting fictitious invoices for services never rendered.
The newspaper reports Avery was a BNSF employee and Duncan operated Smithville Hardware Co.

While the producers of The Hills keep leaving the door open for a new season even with Lauren Conrad retiring at the end of the upcoming bonus episodes (which commence April 6), here's another indicator that the show itself may end:
Audrina Patridge is saying goodbye.
And looking to star in her own show.
The aspiring actress and her fake boobs have signed on to star in a new series from producer Mark Burnett that will focus on her personal and professional life.
"We are truly pleased to have the chance to work with Audrina," Burnett, the creator or Survivor and The Apprentice, tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"She has already proved her star quality, and we can't wait to show her fans worldwide the next stage of her life and career."
Patridge and Burnett will pitch their still-untitled show to networks next week.
Audzo tried to break away from The Hills before, but that's proven about as effective as her efforts to ditch loser boyfriend Justin-Bobby. Her first film effort, Into The Blue 2, went straight to DVD (it's due out April 21).
Lauren Conrad recently confirmed she will leave the MTV reality show after five seasons (and two seasons of Laguna Beach prior to that), saying: "I'm excited to go back to having just one life, because there were times I got them confused."

What Causes Uterine Fibroids
About 70% of women will have uterine fibroids at some time during their life and may not even know it. So, what causes uterine fibroids? You’re about to find out.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are a type of pelvic tumor. These non-cancerous growths are made of muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue, giving the tumor a firm texture. They range in size from being so tiny you can’t see them with the naked eye to bulky masses that distort the uterus. A woman can have one or multiple uterine fibroids, which can grow at different rates. Uterine fibroids are fairly common and almost always benign, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless.
The Difference Between a Cyst and a Fibroid
Cysts and fibroids are two different growths inside of a woman’s reproductive system. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are generally attached to an ovary—either on the inside or outside. Fibroids are not found within the ovaries; they only grow inside the uterus or on the uterine walls. Unlike the cyst, uterine fibroids are solid, non-cancerous tumors.
Uterine Fibroids and Pregnancy
Uterine fibroids generally show up in the midst of a woman’s childbearing years—usually in her 30s or 40s. Depending on the size, shape, and location of the fibroids, they may block the fallopian tubes, impacting fertility by making it difficult for a woman to conceive.
Causes of Uterine Fibroids
Doctors believe that uterine fibroids grow from a stem cell in the muscular tissue of the uterus, but further research is required. While causes of uterine fibroids remains unknown, there are some possible causes that have been identified. Potential causes may involve:
- Genetics. Genes that have differences from those in normal uterine muscle cells may play a part in the development of ovarian fibroids.
- Hormones. Research shows that women in their childbearing years are more likely to get uterine fibroids and fibroids shrink after menopause. Both of these moments in a woman’s lifecycle involve a change in hormones. Estrogen and progesterone appear to encourage fibroid growth since fibroids contain more receptors for these two hormones than normal uterine muscles. In menopause, there is a decrease in hormone production, which explains why uterine fibroids shrink at this stage in life.
- Extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM makes cells stick to each other. Fibroids have increased ECM, giving them their fibrous quality. ECM is also known to cause biologic changes in cells.
Risk Groups for Uterine Fibroids
There are a few risk categories where uterine fibroids are more common. Risk is increased with:
- Age: fibroids are more common in women in their childbearing years (usually after 30).
- Family history: your risk increases if you have an immediate family member (a mother or sister) who has uterine fibroids.
- Obesity: women who are overweight are at a higher risk.
- Race: uterine fibroids affect women of all races; however, black women are more likely to have fibroids.
- Other factors: early menopause, vitamin D deficiency, alcohol consumption, or a diet rich in red meat and low in leafy vegetables, fruit, and dairy.
What Are the Symptoms?
Uterine fibroids often don’t come with symptoms. Symptoms may appear due to the location, size, and number of fibroids present. There are several symptoms that can be caused by uterine fibroids, including:
- Period abnormalities, including a heavier or prolonged period or bleeding between periods
- Severe pelvic pain, pressure, or cramps
- Protruding belly
- Difficulty emptying the bladder or frequent urination
- Pain in the lower back or in the legs
- Pain during intercourse
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Fatigue caused by anemia
The spectrum of recommended treatment for uterine fibroids ranges from no treatment to surgery. Treatment isn’t usually necessary unless the fibroids cause discomfort or other health issues. The recommended treatment will also rely on your age, how many fibroids you have and their size, other health conditions you may have, and other factors.
The Wait and See Approach
Your doctor may start by monitoring the fibroids over time. As women get closer to menopause, most fibroids stop growing and may even shrink, making treatment unnecessary.
Medication is only available to temporarily tackle your symptoms, rather than make the fibroids disappear. Hormonal drugs may help reduce any abnormal bleeding and regulate your menstrual cycle. In very specialized cases, doctors may prescribe GnRH agonists, a drug that blocks the production of estrogen, which temporarily shrinks fibroids and stops heavy bleeding.
This operation removes fibroids but preserves the uterus.
This is another surgical option where the entire uterus, and in some cases one or both ovaries, is removed.
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
An alternative to open surgery, this procedure blocks blood flow to the fibroids. Without a blood supply, the fibroids shrink and die.
Uterine Fibroid Prevention Methods
There isn’t much scientific research available on how to avoid uterine fibroids, which means that prevention may not actually be possible. Some research suggests that using hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, a hormonal IUD, etc.) may be linked with a lower risk of fibroids. Overall, the best advice out there is to live a healthy lifestyle; make sure to exercise and eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
It may seem a little dark to say that you may have fibroids and not even know it, but it’s true. Uterine fibroids are fairly common and may explain symptoms that you can’t attribute to another medical issue. Since uterine fibroids are often found during a physical exam, it underlines the importance of routine check-ins with your doctor; make time to schedule an appointment.

- The ‘Cancer Fighting Tool-Kit’: Everything caregivers and friends need to keep loved ones eating during treatment, including advice, gleaned directly from Rebecca’s practice with dozens of clients, on the best way to overcome transient taste changes by using just a few pantry staples and easy to learn kitchen techniques;

The latest report from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on credit utilization showed that Americans’ borrowing activity firmed in August (lagged release), with total U.S. consumer credit outstanding expanding by $25.9 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 8.5 percent. That was significantly better than the $16.6 billion gain economists had expected, and the July increase was revised slightly higher to $17.8 billion. Non-revolving credit, e.g. student and automobile loans, rose by $20.2 billion in August, the 60th month-over-month gain in a row and the largest sequential increase in nearly a year. As for revolving credit, this metric of Americans’ credit card use lifted by $5.6 billion in August, a welcome rebound from July’s paltry $2.8 billion gain. Moreover, the longer-term trends of an acceleration in revolving credit growth and a somewhat stalled expansion in non-revolving credit remain clearly intact. This should persist as long as job creation and household balance sheets continue to improve and enable more Americans to take on additional debt.

The challenge in the UK
Five years of recession in Britain have driven up youth unemployment (British Youth Council, 2012). Employers seem to be “hoarding” older employees (The Economist, 2013). Some estimate that up to a million young people in Britain are now not in education, employment or training (NEET) (Confederation of British Industry, 2011), up from 120,000 (Safer London Foundation, 2007) at the height of the boom in 2007. While some have good qualifications, many have challenges ranging from dysfunctional work behaviours to issues as simple as a lack of previous work experience.
Early work experience can create work habits for life (Duhigg 2012). Lack of work experience can cause embarrassment and even lasting harm (PEF, 2012). Early unemployment points to long-term unemployment (Gregg 2011), raising fears of a “lost generation” (“Generation Jobless,” 2013).
Luck, rather than ability, can often determine whether a young person is employed or not following the completion of their education: research suggests that a student who has had three contacts with the world of work before leaving school can have a three times greater chance of employment than a student who has had none (ETF). Ofsted, the UK Office for Standards in Education, has shown that post-school employment is an indicator (Ofsted 2010) of long-term employment, even after accounting for background and school performance.
British NEETs can struggle to find work experience, as EU citizens also have the right to work in the UK. Some argue that UK schools do not always prepare students for work (BYC 2009), citing scores from Program for International Student Assessment (run by the OECD) or Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. Oft-cited statistics suggest that social mobility in the UK has declined since the 1970s, meaning a child from a poor family is becoming less likely to escape the cycle of poverty. The largest riots by young people in 30 years in 2011 in London aroused fierce debate, with views of the cause ranging from alienation to “sheer criminality.”
The young “undeserving poor” are often scorned in the media. For example, Vicky Pollard, an unemployed, ignorant “chav,” in the popular BBC comedy Little Britain, among other things offered to swap her baby for a CD. A 2006 poll revealed that most people working in TV thought she was an accurate representation of Britain’s white working class (Jones 2011).
Responses to the challenge: focusing on the transition from school to work
The private sector and civil society have some hopeful initiatives to help those who have finished school to transition into their first job. Companies are pursuing a range of programs which go beyond the usual “corporate social responsibility” to touch employment practices. Nonprofits are developing what are termed “employer-pull” initiatives.
Among the most ambitious initiatives are those from corporate giants including McDonalds, which targets to employ 10,000 NEETs each year; and KFC, which aims to hire 5,000 in the next two years. Barclays Bank and its suppliers now have 1,000 apprenticeships in place, with plans to increase to 10,000. Gregg’s (a bakery) and Brakes Brothers (a food service firm), each offer NEETs short work experience as well. Marks & Spencer’s program “Marks & Starts” also offers work experience, though on a smaller scale (~800 young people). But significant challenges to employment arise each year and the best of intentions may not always go as planned. Burger King pulled out of the government’s Get Britain Working initiative after bad press following its implementation at retailers Tesco and Poundland.
But public awareness is growing. Pret announced programmes for both school leavers (graduates or otherwise) and homeless youth amid reports that only 20% of its workforce was British. The Mayor of London publicly questioned their hiring practices, and the London Evening Standard headlined “why can’t a Brit get a job at Pret?” in an article which tracked four young Brits living in London as they tried to secure employment at Pret, although “all four were rejected without an interview” (Herrmann 2012). Anti-immigrant sentiment is rising in opinion polls; the anti-immigrant, anti-EU United Kingdom Independence Party gained seats in local elections held in May 2013.
However, supporting employer efforts continue to offer possibilities. Solid business alliances such as Business in the Community, the Confederation of British Industry, Education and Employers Taskforce (ETF), and the Private Equity Foundation (PEF) have all contributed ways to foster employment. ETF has created the “Speakers for Schools” and “Inspiring the Future” programs to give state school students contact with the world of work on the level enjoyed by students at private schools. PEF focuses on NEETs through programs that target the transition from school to work, including “Think Forward.” These efforts complement the great work by other nonprofits that focus on NEETS and employability, such as Prince’s Trust and Tomorrow’s People.
Against this, there is a kaleidoscope of efforts by government agencies to tackle a problem estimated to cost around £5B (approximately $7.7 billion) (ACEVO, 2012). Local governments try to address pockets of youth unemployment (The Guardian), while national responses come from a variety of sources including the Departments of Education and Work and Pensions, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills and the Cabinet Office.
The prospects in the UK
Each of these programs is still relatively new, and will be watched and scrutinized in coming years. Media coverage has been mixed, with some praise for McDonalds (The Economist, 2013) yet criticism for others, such as Tesco. A number of companies are exploring new programs, and their implications for employment practices, customer relations, public relations and corporate social responsibility will hopefully have far-reaching effects.
A question for future study will be the relative effect of “employer-pull” versus “school-push” programs, and the power of collaboration between the two. Intergenerational mentorship, sponsorship and apprenticeship have been central to career development of a nation’s youth for generations. They are still essential to career development in professional services now. Yet many young people today sit in classrooms with friends of the same age, and have fewer opportunities to learn and build external links for life. We may need to rediscover how to nurture these links for all young people.

No-frills airline, Ryanair, caused a stir in the travel industry yesterday by introducing a charge for each mile flown.
In a press handout, the company reported that from 1st April advertised fares will refer only to the cost of the seat. In addition to existing “extras” such as luggage and food, the company plan to charge customers for each mile travelled.
The press release continues – “A credit card reader will be installed in each armrest and all passengers will be required to insert a valid card before the aircraft is allowed to leave the gate. Passengers refusing to comply with this reasonable request will be subject to ejection. Cards will be charged as each mile is completed. We see this as a “win win” situation. In the event of an accident there would be no loss of revenue to the company and customers will only pay for actual miles travelled, not the uncompleted part of the journey. Passengers originating from countries using the metric system will have the mileage converted to kilometres using the company’s standard conversion rate.”
A spokesman for the company refused to comment on unofficial reports that plans were being made to auction off life-vests in the event of an emergency.

Offspring of 1996 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Grindstone took three stakes, including the co-featured events for 2-year-olds, on Oregon Championship Day for state-breds Dec. 14 at Portland Meadows.
Nominations have been released for one of the biggest days of the season at Portland Meadows, Oregon Championship Day for state-breds Dec. 14.
Grindstone, the first Kentucky Derby winner to stand in the state of Oregon, will see several of his 2-year-olds make their debuts on Oregon Championship Day Nov. 17 at Portland Meadows.
Portland Meadows announced the new stakes schedule for the upcoming inaugural summer and fall meets that kicks off July 15. Headlining the schedule is the 47th running of the Portland Mile Sept. 3.
Oregon Championship Day, the premier afternoon of Thoroughbred racing in the state with seven stakes and handicap races, has been rescheduled for Dec. 31 at Portland Meadows.
For the second consecutive day, chilly temperatures have caused a freezing of the racing surface at Portland Meadows Sunday. Racing officials at the Delta Park oval determined it unsafe for racing and canceled the live card.
Portland Meadows drew a season-record 3,550 for Saturday's Oregon Championship Day. The fans saw leading female rider Twyla Beckner capture three of the five stakes races in the series.

text: More than 10,000 teens alone have commited suicide over social media. Is social media bad for teens or does social media help teens live their life more peacefully? Social media has a bad impact on teens.One reason that social media could be bad for teens is that cyber bullying could occur. According to Brian Jung from the article “The Negative Effect of Social Media”, “Kids especially are vulnerable to the practice of cyberbullying” (Jung 1). This shows that kids or teens that use social media often are usually more vulnerable to the risk of being bullied by other people on social media. Also, Cyberbullying could cause many problems to your children or friends including depression or thoughts of suicide and much more. Social media could danger your children, your friends or even you. Teens that use social media often may have a risk to be cyberbullied. Some people may say social media helps teens go through life or make it easier to get through hard times; however, a lot of the times it could make teens feel less so. About 42% of those who use social media have been cyberbullied before. The second piece of evidence that social media could be bad for teens is that they could isolate themselves from their family and friends. In the article “Technologies Negative Impact on Teens” by Ashley Mitchell, “kids are beginning to isolate themselves from friends and family” (Mitchell 1). Kids could spend time with friends or family but instead, some choose to spend most of their day scrolling down social media apps/websites. Also, teens that are on their phones looking at pictures on social media could miss dinner or not eat at all. Social media can cause your children or friends to not eat and/or not be with family and friends. A third and final reason for social media being bad for teens is that is could have them fail in school. From the article “Technologies Negative Impact on Teens”, “the teen texting language is limiting teens vocabulary and written communication skills” (Mitchell 1). Teens sometimes use texting shortcuts like LOL, BRB, etc. In their school work (Not in proper English grammar). Teens also use their phones in class and/or driving. this could cause a lower grade. Social media could halt your child’s life or your learning. Social media has a gloomy outcome on teens. Social media is filled with cyberbullies. If you use social media you are opening yourself up to cyberbullying, depression, suicidal thoughts, or failure in school.

Providing for Further Consideration of H.R. 4909, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017by Representative Jerrold Nadler
Posted on 2016-05-18
NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this rule for a
number of reasons: because it doesn't make a proper AUMF in order,
because it fails to make in order an amendment I cosponsored along with
Representatives Dent, Smith, and several others.
The bill contains language adopted by the Committee on Armed Services at 1 in the morning the other day with no warning that would effectively overturn President Obama's executive order protecting LGBT workers for companies with private contracts. In other words, private contractors using our Federal tax dollars in any area--not just in the defense area, by the way--would be allowed to fire someone just because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. This is unacceptable, it is cruel, and it is totally unnecessary.
Now, the distinguished gentleman said that the language contains nothing referring to gay or lesbian people; it simply protects religious liberty. It says that private contractors, in the exercise of their religious liberty, may discriminate. It disallows the President's executive order, and so the effect is that private contractors may discriminate on the basis of sexual identity or gender if that is their religious belief.
No one has said it for years on this floor, but they used to, that it is okay to say: My religious belief says I shouldn't hire a Black person or a Jewish person.
We don't think that is acceptable, and we don't call that religious liberty. But we now call religious liberty the ability of a private contractor to fire someone or refuse to hire them just because they are gay or lesbian. That is cruel and unacceptable.
Why not allow the House to vote on whether or not to include this type of hateful language in the defense bill? Why not allow a vote on the Dent-Smith amendment? Must we let this bigotry and intolerance win the day? We ought to defeat this rule. I, for one, will not vote for the entire bill if this language is included in it. We must strip this toxic, hateful measure from the NDAA, if not through an amendment, then in conference. We ought to ensure that no Federal contractor has the ability to fire someone just because of who they are or who they love and because they profess that it is their religious belief. So they cannot be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on hiring and firing other people. We must continue to fight until all Americans have the rights they deserve.

2. 사랑해 U
3. 마지막 생일
4. 왜 웃기만해
5. Prime Time (Feat. Lisa)
6. 첫눈에 (Feat. BEKA of Afterschool)
Seo In Gook garnered a lot of attention in Korea last year as the winner of Mnet Superstar K, and made his debut soon after with the single "Calling You". The talented rookie continues his climb towards pop stardom with the new mini-album Just Beginning. Seo brilliantly shows his strong and versatile vocal skills in six new numbers that run from pop and ballad to R&B and hip-hop. He went all the way to Phuket, Thailand to shoot a romantic, big-budget music video co-starring Kim Min Jung for his upbeat love song Saranghae U, the title song of the album. Seo also collaborated with Lisa and After School's Bekah in Prime Time and "At First School", respectively.
Superstar K Season 2 receives an overwhelming response
by heartfacee on March 2, 2010
The Korean version of American Idol, Superstar K, is back with its second season. The first season broke records for a cable show when it received a 8.47% viewer rating and 72,000 people who auditioned.
Seo In Gook, last year’s winner, hasn’t gotten extremely far with his career so I’m surprised this many people are applying… but hey, it’s way too early to tell right?

I know for sure the links were upgraded to Traxxas aluminum ones,however i don't know about anything else. I think i upgraded the sway bar system, but i'm not 100% Aside from being a little dusty and dirty (just test drove it before the photos), it runs great.

There will probably be at least, a few times in your life, when something just doesn't sit right with you. You will witness something that just feels wrong - in your heart and in your gut.
It will be your decision whether to speak up. You won't always speak up and that's okay, but sometimes you will.
In order to speak up, you have to know what you stand for. What do you believe in? How do you feel people should be treated? Do some people deserve to be mistreated? What bothers you? What keeps you up at night wondering?
What you stand for will change and grow as you do. Your perspectives and beliefs may widen at times and narrow at others. This is okay. This is part of life.
You'll also learn, that in life, there is very little, that is black and white. Almost everything lies somewhere in between, in the gray area.
Once you figure out what you stand for, don't focus on shoving it down everybody else's throat. You have your beliefs, and they have theirs. Share you feelings, ideas, and opinions and allow others to share their's. Listen to them. Really listen. It is often that there is no wrong, only different areas of right. So just listen and learn from the people you know and the people you meet.
Some of the things I stand for:
1. People being treated with respect and kindness regardless of how they look.
2. People choosing their religious, or lack thereof, beliefs.
3. People having second, third, and fourth chances in life, but not neccessarily with the same people.
4. Healthy relationships where both people are safe, happy, and thriving.
5. Listening to someone's story to get the full sense of where they have been, where they are now, and where they hope to be going.
What do you stand for?????

Ruling AKP pulls out as new charter efforts fade
Justice and Development Party Deputy Head Mustafa Şentop speaks at yesterday’s press conference. DAILY NEWS photo, Selahattin SÖNMEZHopes for the country’s first civilian charter faded on Nov. 19, with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) announcing that has it pulled out of the inter-party Constitution Conciliation Commission on the grounds that the panel has failed to accomplish its tasks over its two-year-long efforts.
“Our Parliament speaker has announced that he has withdrawn from the chairmanship of the panel. The legality of this Commission has therefore ended as the Parliament speaker has withdrawn from it,” AKP Deputy Head Mustafa Şentop had earlier told reporters on Nov. 15.
On the Nov. 18 meeting of the Commission, Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek announced to members of the four parties represented that he would declare his withdrawal from the Commission via a letter sent to the party leaders. However, members from all three opposition parties met on Nov. 19 in the absence of Çiçek and AKP lawmakers, underlining that the Parliament speaker had no right to unilaterally end the Commission’s work.
“This Commission agreed on only 60 articles in 25 months. I’ll leave the question as to how many months it would take for it to agree on the remaining 112 articles. Nobody, including the opposition parties, believes that this Commission can write the new Constitution,” Şentop said, adding that the meeting carried out by opposition members on Nov. 19 could not be described as a true Commission meeting, as the Commission was no longer a legal entity.
While that meeting was being held, Parliament Speaker Çiçek received Turkey’s Ambassador to South Korea Hakan Okçal, and his program for the day did not include the Commission meeting.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan put all the blame for the failure on the opposition parties, accusing them of “blocking” talks. “Everything is written in the minutes of the Commission. All of these minutes will be made open to the public. We will all see the stances of each party. We have always been positive throughout this process,” Erdoğan told lawmakers at his party’s parliamentary group meeting. The prime minister added that they would wait for Çiçek’s letter and then act accordingly.
The AKP’s road map and scenarios
Şentop underlined that the Commission was just one of the tools in forming the new Constitution, saying the AKP was still committed to drafting a civilian Constitution. “The point we have arrived at does not mean that efforts for the new charter have ended,” he said, stressing that the dissolution of the Commission would pave the way for the government to use other means. When asked whether the AKP would seek an alliance with one or two parties to pass the successfully drafted articles in Parliament, Şentop said this was not likely in the pre-election period but could be revisited after the 2015 general elections.
According to information gathered by the Hürriyet Daily News, the ruling party is instead likely to introduce its own self-drafted Constitution to Parliament. However, this will only be symbolic, as its total number of lawmakers is not sufficient for the passing of amendments to the Constitution.
Another scenario suggests that the AKP could begin a new round of negotiations with the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) for the passage of 60 articles through Parliament. This would be achieved through the inclusion of a fresh provision including articles that would free currently arrested deputies, which is a particular point of contention for the CHP.
‘The Venice Commission should be an observer’
Commenting on the deadlocked Constitution drafting process, Peace and Democracy (BDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş said the AKP was aiming to leave the table because it did not want to form the Constitution in a participatory way. Claiming that the three largest parties at the Commission had a covert agreement to object to Kurdish demands, Demirtaş referred to the leader of the 1980 military coup, after which the current Constitution was drafted. “If you won’t solve the Kurdish issue, then why do we need a new Constitution? Kenan Evren’s Constitution suits you well,” he said.
“If this Commission continues its works, all off its prospective sessions should be open to the media. There’s no need for closed-door meetings anymore. Secondly, the Venice Commission should be the observer of the charter making process. In the event of those two things, let the Commission continue its work until June 2014,” Demirtaş added. The Venice Commission is an advisory body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts in the field of constitutional law.

I haven’t quite managed to get my head round Marlon James’ Black Leopard, Red Wolf, a massive swords-and-sorcery-type fantasy novel set in a fictionalised Africa. James is primarily a lit-fic writer – his Brief History of Seven Killings won the Man Booker prize in 2015 – and I think perhaps I’m bringing the wrong set of reading protocols, lit-fic instead of fantasy, to the text as a result.
In any case, the novel’s protagonist is a man known only as Tracker, in reference to his preternatural powers of smell. Tracker’s hired to hunt down a missing child who, in true storytelling tradition, may well be vital to the future of the kingdom. The problem, or one of them, is that he’s not the only one who’s been hired; alongside him are working a witch, a giant, a shapeshifter and others. Tracker is very much Not A Fan of working in teams, and says so, repeatedly, as the gang travel through enchanted woods, magical one-way doors,
So, plot-wise, the novel is basically grimdark fantasy. Loner fighter hates everyone and is cynical; gets paid to go on quest; bad stuff happens very graphically (content warnings for gore and rape). There’s even a map, and a list of dramatis personae at the beginning. (It’s worth noting here that Tracker is gay, as are at least three other characters, and the only time it’s a Thing is when they visit homophobic societies. It’s refreshing!) But it has few of the formal qualities of traditional European fantasy, apart from the obvious one of being written in prose. It hops around in time; starts before the main story begins; switches between first person and omniscient third.
Abigail Nussbaum suggests that these techniques are reminiscent of oral storytelling traditions; so that part of James’ project here is challenging the primacy of European modes of fantasy. And it’s true that it’s a great delight to visit a fantasy world that isn’t based on a sanitised version of Europe, the prevalence of which does no-one any favours and is pretty boring to boot.
It’s just…I don’t know what the novel is doing beyond that. I don’t think it’s as radical as it thinks it is – or, at least, as its author’s lit-fic roots would suggest. Which is kind of nice, given the fact that a lot of lit-fic authors who stray into SFF tend to act like they’ve single-handedly invented the wheel when actually they’ve done something that Asimov did better forty years ago. It’s nice to find a lit-fic author doing SFF well, and thoughtfully. I think, on reflection, that Black Leopard, Red Wolf is worth reading if you’re looking for intelligent SFF. And I’m looking forward to reading its planned sequels.

My cousin, Nathan and I drove an hour into the mountains near Hope, BC to fish in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Took some video footage on my Canon 5D Mark II and thought I would something short together. The song is "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver. We were singing it all day so thought it would be a good fit.
