Commitments in: Governance - Transparency and accountability

“16. ...Accordingly, we pledge to act together to achieve the commitments to reform the financial sector made at the Washington, London and Pittsburgh Summits by the agreed or accelerated timeframes. The transition to new standards will take into account the cumulative macroeconomic impact of the reforms in advanced and emerging economies. We are committed to international assessment and peer review to ensure that all our decisions are fully implemented.”

“19. We agreed to strengthen financial market infrastructure by accelerating the implementation of strong measures to improve transparency and regulatory oversight of hedge funds, credit rating agencies and over-the-counter derivatives in an internationally consistent and non-discriminatory way. We re-emphasized the importance of achieving a single set of high quality improved global accounting standards and the implementation of the FSB’s standards for sound compensation.”

“22. The fourth pillar is transparent international assessment and peer review. We have strengthened our commitment to the IMF/World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) and pledge to support robust and transparent peer review through the FSB. We are addressing non-cooperative jurisdictions based on comprehensive, consistent, and transparent assessment with respect to tax havens, the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and the adherence to prudential standards.”

Commitments in: Governance - Economic governance and public finance management

“The Framework for Strong, Sustainable and Balanced Growth

7. The G-20’s highest priority is to safeguard and strengthen the recovery and lay the foundation for strong, sustainable and balanced growth, and strengthen our financial systems against risks. We therefore welcome the actions taken and commitments made by a number of G-20 countries to boost demand and rebalance growth, strengthen our public finances, and make our financial systems stronger and more transparent. These measures represent substantial contributions to our collective well-being and build on previous actions. We will continue to co-operate and undertake appropriate actions to bolster economic growth and foster a strong and lasting recovery...

...9. We have completed the first stage of our Mutual Assessment Process and we concluded that we can do much better. The IMF and World Bank estimate that if we choose a more ambitious path of reforms, over the medium term:
• global output would be higher by almost $4 trillion;
• tens of millions more jobs would be created;
• even more people would be lifted out of poverty; and
• global imbalances would be significantly reduced.

Increasing global growth on a sustainable basis is the most important step we can take in improving the lives of all of our citizens, including those in the poorest countries.”

Armed with affection, octogenarian is an 'octopus whisperer'

Wilson Menashi palmed a squid in his left hand and extended his arm into an aquarium tank, watching as a giant Pacific octopus stretched out arms to greet him like a friend.

Freya latched some of her 2,240 suction cups onto Menashi’s arm, using their powers of taste and smell to gather information around the 84-year-old man known as the octopus whisperer — and the seafood treats he was bearing.

“She’s just contacting me and she’s saying, ‘You come to me,'” Menashi said of Freya, a 3-year-old predator weighing 35 to 40 pounds (18 kilograms). Her arms span 14 feet (4 meters) and pack enough strength to kill sharks and other enemies.

But this afternoon’s gentle interaction left no doubt that Menashi has a special way with the cephalopod, whose body includes a large, sac-like head and eight powerful arms.

More than 25 years ago, Menashi retired after a career as a chemical engineer and began volunteering at the New England Aquarium in Boston. He’s spent 7,800 hours — the equivalent of about four years working full time — hanging out with octopuses, the aquarium said.

“I’ve been able to interact with them from the beginning. I do not know why. I cannot explain it, but I can connect with them,” Menashi said, standing in front of the Olympic Coast Sanctuary exhibit that is home to Freya and Professor Ludwig Von Drake, a younger male giant Pacific octopus living in a separate tank.

Menashi’s eyes twinkled with mischief as he acknowledged that encounters with octopus have left a mark on him.

“I will come back home sometimes with hickeys all over my arm and my neck,” he said.

So how did he explain them to his wife?

“Not too difficult when you have about 10 or 15 marks next to each other,” he said. “It did not take too much. She also knew where I was, anyway.”

Menashi’s volunteer work has included designing puzzle boxes for octopus as well as rubbing their backs and wrestling their arms, all intended to ensure that the highly intelligent animals receive the mental stimulation to thrive and stay healthy.

Two decades of working with the largest members of the octopus species has not dulled his sense of wonder at the animal’s adaptability and mysteries.

Experiments have shown these animals to be color blind, but they are supreme masters of camouflage. A complex system of pigment cells, nerves and muscles allows them to change skin color in the blink of an eye to match their surroundings.

“What I find totally surprising is how they could tell different people and react differently,” Menashi said. “I’ve also made them a few toys, made up some boxes and … I put different latches so they could get in and figure out how to get the food that I put in the boxes. However, I’ve had some that said, ‘It’s too much time to figure out how you do the latch.’ So they just crushed the box.”

That eye for detail, patience and willingness to experiment makes Menashi a perfect octopus whisperer, said Bill Murphy, a senior aquarist.

“Every octopus is different. So then you can’t use the same rules for every octopus,” Murphy said. “You need to change it up. And Wilson does that.”

Menashi said spending time with octopuses and other animals gives his life a whole new purpose in retirement.

“Just being here has been, to me, a lifesaver,” he said. “Gave me something to do. Gave me different interests and showed me the world is a wonderful place to be.”

Is it hard to read right now? I've been experimenting with different colors, and I haven't really settled on anything yet.

The gradient backgrounds were actually meant to contrast with the HUD and everything else. Right now their there purely as placeholders, because I haven't done any backgrounds yet. I have something very cool in mind for the backgrounds...

Journals / Insurgence of Forgotten Fairies
« on: February 07, 2019, 01:38:52 pm »

  2nd Project Innocence: Insurgence of Forgotten Fairies is the sequel to 1st Project Innocence: Shadows Over Yumekyo. Since developing 1st Project Innocence, I've started taking a drawing course, which has improved the art quality immensely. Previously, I had just been doing art based on what I had taught myself, and it didn't really come out well.

  So far, I haven't really been focusing on developing any one thing. I've basically been revamping everything that 1stPI had, and making it better. I've been using a bunch of tweens to make the game have that completed game feel. I've made a much nicer HUD, which also shows some of the extra mechanics I've put into the game. This screenshot also shows some of the drops I've programmed in, which were not in 1stPI. The drops score you extra points the higher up on the screen they are collected, which was surprisingly difficult to code. It's always the little things. You expect to be done it in half an hour, tops, and then you end up spending two or three hours polishing it to make it work.

  The thing I'm probably the most proud of so far is the custom dialogue system. I decided to make my own dialogue system, because I wanted to have multiple people being shown at once, which the Dialog Extension just can't do. I ended up making it as a sort of offshoot of Flargy-Filler/fillergames' dialogue system: using a seperator to differentiate between commands and actual dialog. The below screenshot uses:

  Kiyoko\Happy\Whoa, this game looks way better\than the last one already!

  Which looks like this:

  Kiyoko is the character portrait that gets put up. Happy is the animation that gets chosen. Everything afterwards is just the dialogue. The \ in the middle of the dialogue triggers a line break, but for simplicity, and my sanity, I only support one line break, and then I have to advance text to see the rest of a sentence. Eventually I'll implement an event system, such as:

  EVENT being the trigger to let the game know that this isn't dialogue, and no portrait should be changed. PlayBossMusic is the custom event that gets triggered in-scene. 0.1 is how long until the next dialogue comes up. Overall, I think this setup is pretty flexible, and even in some ways superior to the Dialog Extension (no offense, Justin and Cory).

  The next thing I'll work on (besides art) will probably be getting shooting working. I've got a very different idea for the shooting in this game compared to 1stPI, but it might turn out to be a pain to code...

There was an old bug in the on screen button behaviour that the touch ID list was not created first. You need to set the touch ID list to Create new list in the when created event or get the updated version of the behaviour.

That is the most infuriating and yet most amazing thing I've seen in a while. That was the problem, and it works great now. Thanks guys!

It's relatively old. I'm testing on HTML5.

I've got an idea, but I don't have access to Stencyl till Monday, so I'll give you a heads up then.

@Justin Where would I get the new bundled behaviors?

@Luyren I'll give that a shot on Monday. I don't have access to Stencyl again till then, so...

Thanks Justin. Didn't know that existed.

So now I know that it's a null object reference, in the On-Screen Button behavior. Not that that helps much, 'cause I'm not sure what it's attempting to reference that is null. I don't understand...

I've attached the logs, because they might actually be worth something this time.

Yep, it runs totally fine without checking tiles, apart from the freeze when clicking to generate new tiles, but that's to be expected.

I'll have to mess around and see what I can come up with for blocking tile spawns.

Extensions / Re: Perlin Noise
« on: February 01, 2019, 03:21:34 pm »
I'm using the "data for tile at" block. I dunno if that impacts it heavily or not, but I get an average of 23 frames per second. I also made the scene 100 by 100 tiles, but I'd think that would only matter for the startup, where it places all the tiles.

Would I be able to set this up to spawn a tile that would spawn a structure around it? Like houses in Terraria, or villages in Minecraft: not super common, and also not super close together.

Extensions / Re: Perlin Noise
« on: February 01, 2019, 02:51:06 pm »
Just discovered this today and it's super cool!

I was wondering though, if I wanted to add a new type of tile, how would I go about doing that? Not actually importing the tile, but setting up how often it's made, how much of it there is, and what it gets made next to.

I set up a little prototype thing, and I've got a guy that can run around in the world, and he goes slower when he's on the blue tiles, like he's swimming. It's pretty laggy, since I'm checking what tile he's over every frame, but I haven't figured out how to check that without making it lag like crazy.

So after figuring stuff out with 4.0, I finally got the game to compile to Android again. However, the crash persists on 4.0 b10240. I don't know where to go from here.

I'd recommend starting a new thread, as this one was about the error on opening preferences, which has nothing to do with the SDK/NDK Android testingness we've got going on. You'll get noticed more that way as well.

Ask a Question / Re: Curves?
« on: January 31, 2019, 02:43:51 pm »
Could somebody test the code/blocks in the below code to see if it works? I tried it myself, and it didn't really work, but I think I might have made a mistake somewhere.

You should be able to alter the angle by multiplying the part [absolute value of(blahblah)]. The more you multiply it, the higher angle it will be, though it will never be 90 (it would require x to be set to 0). Moreover, if the angle would be 90, the bullet would never corrected it's velocity toward the enemy.

Since the last post I have figure out it will probably be a little bit better if you put distance in attributes. Easier to read and only calculated once (x distance was calculated twice). So, together with the multiplier it would be something like that:

Code: [Select]
set xDistance to [x of enemy] - [x of self]
set yDistance to [y of enemy] - [y of self]
then the velocity block with atan2(yDistance - ([absolute value of xDistance] * multiplier), xDistance)
You can use whatever number as multiplier, 1 will get you the same result as without it (obviously), higher number should make the initial angle higher and number between 0 and 1 should make it lower.

Consensus as an Unnatural Act

As a process consultant, I get frequent opportunities to share what I consider the essence of consensus—the most popular choice for decision-making in cooperative groups.

While there's a lot to say, I've come to believe that there are three most important introductory points to get across:

a) Groups will not get good results unless they're prepared to create a different culture—one that's oriented toward curiosity rather than combat in the presence of non-trivial differences. Given the way most of us have been conditioned, being curious in the face of someone disagreeing with you is an unnatural act. We are taught to defend, not to break bread with the enemy. Yet combat discourages open disclosure and sharply limits the flow of information. Job #1 is keeping the ideas moving freely.

b) Consensus is the nuanced intersection between relationship and decision-making—if you're not attending to both, you'll not be happy with the results. In the wider culture we're mostly taught to set relationships aside in the pursuit of sound decisions; in cooperative culture however, we value how we reach decisions about as much as what decisions we reach. If you neglect relationships you risk birthing agreements with stillborn energy. If, on the other hand, you attend to relationship and lose focus on problem solving, you may drift into an emotion-laden quagmire with no clear exit. Both forms of imbalance tend to be unsatisfactory.

c) Meetings call for different behavior than informal settings, and participants need to learn both what's appropriate and the discipline to modify their behavior accordingly. I teach groups that the mantra of participants in a consensus meeting is:
What does the group need to hear from me on this topic at this time?

This guidance is so nutrient-dense that I want to parse it into five components:

1. The Group
The context is a group conversation. That means screening possible comments for those that are group-relevant, and having the internal fortitude to discard the rest for another context. The point is that everything that is of sufficient interest—or even potency—for the individual may not be pertinent in the group context. To succeed in this, the participant needs to be clear about the group's purpose and what things are appropriate for plenary consideration.

2. Need
This is an assessment of relative importance. Rather than looking for "What can I think of saying about this topic," participants should be looking for "What is sufficiently germane and potent that the group needs to take it into account." If someone else has already offered the thing you were poised to contribute, you may not need to speak.

To be sure, there's considerable nuance around what the group needs to hear. If you're undecided, it's likely better to speak up and let others help you sort the essential from the elective.

3. From Me
If you say nothing, people may be left to guess how to interpret your silence. It could mean that you have nothing to add, or it could mean:
—You're confused about what the topic is.
—You're distracted by a personal challenge that has nothing to do with the topic.
—You're bored and have been spacing out.
—You're so upset that you're afraid to speak because you might vomit on someone and create a big mess that there's not time to clean up.
—You're still formulating a response and just aren't ready to speak.

Because silence can be so confusing, it's typically better to offer something like, "So-and-so speaks my mind," than to stay mum because you don't think you have anything new to add. Not only does this only take a few seconds, people will not be left to guess where you stand. Choosing to let everyone know that you're fine with what's been said is even more important if you're identified as a key stakeholder, as people will likely be tracking your silence even more closely.

this is all together different than making the same point as someone who spoke before, and then taking just as long or longer to do it, in an effort to find fresh phrases for the same concept. Remember, the point of the meeting is not how good you look; it's how good the group's thinking is.

4. On The Topic
It's not uncommon for a person's brilliancy to be triggered by the topic at hand, yet not be about the topic at hand. If that's the case, can you restrain yourself from insisting on sharing your inspiration? Whenever you indulge that impulse and stray off topic you're not being a good consensus participant.

To be fair, it isn't always easy to tell what the topic is, and therefore you may be unsure whether a proposed comment is in bounds or coloring outside the lines. That's where a good facilitator comes in.

5. At This Time
There's a predictable journey that topics take when traveling through plenary consideration, and different kinds of comments are appropriate at different stages. For example, during the discussion phase you're not looking for potential solutions (you're looking for the factors that a good proposal needs to balance); during the question phase you're not wanting any statements about blocking concerns (at this early stage you're only wanting to make sure that everyone understands the issue, not what positions they'll lay down in front of the bulldozer over).

In my experience it takes your average cooperative group years before these essential consensus elements become so ingrained that the responses surface naturally. The good news is that it's possible.

Post-Thanksgiving Postscript

For those who read my blog of Nov 16, Granddaughter Down, I'm happy to report that Taivyn is now home and completely free of the C Diff infection that knocked her down. While she still has a ways to go on the road to normalcy (she needs a bland diet and plenty of rest for several weeks), she is expected to make a full recovery and her parents had ample reason for giving thanks yesterday. I also want to express appreciation to all my readers for the outpouring of loving support that my posting generated. I was touched, and I like to think that all that healing energy helped her turn the corner just that much faster.

Just another ordinary Birthday

Last Friday(April 13), I turned 21. I grew up in Vizcaya but I can say that the values I have are purely Ifugao. I didn't celebrate my birthday at all. Not because I hate being a year older but because we just don't celebrate. I don't know but that's how things are in our Not that I am complaining or anything. I am totally cool with it because they give me money as a gift.haha
 21 and loving it! :)

I celebrated my past 4 birthdays in Baguio. In those past four birthdays, I celebrated it on my own. Last 2010 was the most memorable though because a dear friend of mine remembered my birthday(thanks to Facebook). That was the only time I celebrated my birthday in Baguio. After the Toastmasters meeting, he asked me for dinner and he chose the restaurant. He ordered a huge cake(with a candle that I still have with me) and he greeted me.
Vizco's strawberry shortcake
I was very happy. Not only did he surprise me. He also knew that I love strawberries so much that I would die for it.(Apologies for the picture quality. Twas taken using my then Nokia E61i.One mistake also is that, I sliced it first before I took a picture of it..haha) The cake tasted really good. He got the large one and we ate 6 out of 8 slices. Even if we were already stuffed, we still ate as much as we can. If there are things I am grateful for that night, one of it is because I was able to discover a really nice restaurant. The food is great, the ambiance is definitely a 5/5 and the service is also great. We just chatted and we just had a great time. Though we had to cut the celebration because I had to leave by 12MN because University Dorm closes at 12:30AM. The important thing was, I enjoyed the food and the company of a good friend.
Picture above is how the cake actually looks when it is still not murdered by a customer like me..haha..(Photo courtesy of Vizcos Facebook Page).

In a birthday, some may have a cake, lots of food, money and gifts but, nothing beats the company of the people with whom you're spending that special day with. I may not have celebrated my birthday last friday with those things but, with 99 facebook greetings, 20 text messages and the company of my family, I can say I had a pretty wonderful birthday. Not very ideal for some but, it was one great day for me :D

Hungary Will Not Take in a Single Immigrant

On Kossuth Radio’s “180 Minutes” programme, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that “The Hungarian government’s migration policy remains unchanged: Hungary will not take in immigrants and will not resettle anyone in the country”.

“The Government has never accepted the European Union’s quota regulations, and accordingly no one can demand any rights in Hungary based on those regulations”, the Prime Minister stressed.

In reference to the some 1,300 people who were granted protection in Hungary last year, however, he said that the country is complying with the international asylum conventions that have been integrated into the Hungarian legal system. Therefore if the authorities determine that a person is in need of international protection, Hungary will grant it to them on a temporary basis. He described those who have been admitted as being different from the illegal migrants “leaving a trail of devastation” at the state border. On the contrary, they are people in need of protection, who first “knocked on the door”, he said, adding that most of them are women and unaccompanied minors. Mr. Orbán said that when they are no longer in need of protection, people who are granted protection will be required to return to where they came from; they will never become Hungarian citizens. He added that 491 people are currently accommodated in both guarded and unguarded facilities in Hungary.

Regarding the legislative proposal that the Government is calling the “Stop Soros” bill, he said that the legislative package of three elements will create a new situation, and everyone – including George Soros – is free to decide how they will act: to continue the organisation and promotion of illegal migration, or to desist. “If he continues these activities, the new legislation will also apply to him”, Mr. Orbán said.

With reference to the details of the bill, which the Government has introduced in response to the result of the National Consultation, the Prime Minister said that there will be a separate register of organisations engaged in the arrangement of illegal immigration. These organisations “can be better described as pseudo-NGOs” working with paid activists, he stated. They will be required to submit separate reports and financial returns; their finances will be inspected “with a magnifying glass”; and a 25 per cent tax will be imposed on any sums they use to facilitate migration. The Prime Minister said that in his view the proposed legislation should also scrutinise EU funding used for such purposes. Furthermore, he explained, individuals engaged in these activities will not be allowed to approach border areas (the airport also qualifies as a Schengen border); and if they are not Hungarian citizens they will also be prevented from entering the country.

When asked who such restraining orders could apply to, Mr. Orbán said that the Government seeks to keep away from Hungary anyone who wants to act in a way fundamentally contrary to the interests of the Hungarian people.

Mr. Orbán asserted that the Government wants to prevent Hungary from becoming an immigrant country, and seeks to ensure that the operations of those who organise and finance migration cannot succeed in Hungary. He added that it also seeks to ensure that those who continue to support illegal immigration – despite being called upon to desist – are kept away from the country.

Regarding the title “Stop Soros”, Mr. Orbán pointed out that “On a regular basis George Soros openly states that he spends an enormous amount of money on supporting and organising migration”, adding that “He has a plan, according to which the fence is the problem, and migration is the solution for Europe’s future”. This is in sharp contrast, the Prime Minister observed, to the Hungarian government, which believes precisely the opposite: “migration is the problem, and the fence is the solution”.

“Our duty now is to do everything possible to prevent implementation of the Soros Plan”, he stated.

In the Prime Minister’s view, this is the dividing line between the governing parties and the opposition: while the former held the National Consultation and are now enacting the will of the people demonstrated by its result, the opposition supports the dismantling of the border fence and would accept migrant quotas. “In my view the opposition is in a single bloc on the side of immigration and the migrants”, he said.

Mr. Orbán pointed out that the United Nations is about to adopt documents that support worldwide mass migration. Therefore next week Hungary’s National Security Cabinet will look into the UN’s plans on this, he said; he added that it is no coincidence that the United States has withdrawn from UN talks on the issue, because it believes that the organisation may adopt decisions that are detrimental to US interests. In this regard, the Prime Minister said, “I share their concerns, and this is something that we should also consider”.

The interview also touched upon Hungarian-Polish relations. The Prime Minister said that, following a personal meeting earlier this year, he had a telephone conversation with Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki, in which they confirmed that both countries stand by their migration policies, that they do not want to become immigrant countries and that they shall not submit themselves to the imposition of migrant quotas.

“Poland can rely on Hungary”, Mr. Orbán said in relation to the EU proceedings launched against Poland, adding that “a decent Member State must not be subjected to proceedings on the basis of unfounded accusations: that is shameful”.

He also said that currently the Government is working on the joint establishment of a Central European Development Bank. “A decision on the relevant dates for this project may be reached at the meeting of the Visegrád Group prime ministers in Budapest next Friday”, he said.

Concerning his recent visit to Berlin, Mr. Orbán said that in his speech he had highlighted that China is not a threat, but an opportunity, noting that developments must be implemented in Central Europe, including the interconnection of electrical networks, the construction of gas pipelines and the building of transport routes. He said that these could be financed from banks, or from EU regional cohesion funds – which are limited, however. If bank loans are too expensive, financing could be sourced from outside the continent: from China, for instance. The latter has agreed to finance Central European development programmes under financial terms and conditions that are more favourable than those available in Europe, he said.

The Prime Minister spoke about his visit to Bavaria, saying in summary that Bavaria and Hungary have renewed their alliance, and that the Bavarian minister-president has agreed to put forward a proposal for Austrian-Hungarian-Bavarian trilateral cooperation.

Speaking about the Hungarian economy, the Prime Minister pointed out that soon everyone will be able to find employment, wages are increasing, and the observance of the wage agreement is a basic precondition for the country’s success.

Berkman Papers on (European) Copyright

One of the great things about Harvard's Berkman Center, at least lately, is that it reaches over the Atlantic and Pacific when it comes to Intellectual Property law. In its papers not just US law and policies are analysed, but considerable attention is given to European and Asian issues. Something that is often hard to find in the US blawgosphere. But then both continents got enough (IP) troubles for their own.

Some time ago the Berkman Center released a good paper on the legal protection of technological measures in EU member states. Just now it published, as part of an update to Copyright and Digital Media in a Post-Napster World (2003), an international supplement that "considers developments regarding copyright and related rights in Europe and Asia/Pacific (including Australia) (...)."

The European part of the supplement is especially interesting because it gives a really nice oversight of the more important court cases that have played within the EU. The part on European copyright legislation feels a bit like a summary of earlier papers, but is still good. Importantly it stresses that whatever kind of copyright exemptions the European Copyright Directive (EUCD) may provide, in the larger part is up to the European member states to determine which rights their citizens may envoke. No private copying right in releation to DRMs (e.g. Germany)? That's just fine. The EUCD gives little guarantees that the interests of non-rightholders will be protected by nation states. And although there are some examples of national legislation that actually incorporates citizen concerns (e.g. in Denmark and Germany), for a great part the political and legislative agenda is influenced by the same (content industry) interests group that determine the European playing field. Take the High Level Group on DRMs...well, let's not go there, I'm getting carried away. For more analyses the Berkman papers provide a good and balanced source.

Swiss Copyright Reform Eyes Europe

Switzerland is working on a new copyright law, with a first draft expected at the beginning of 2006. One of the key issues will be the implementation of anti-circumvention legislation in accordance to Switzerland's obligations under the World Intellectual Property Treaty. Apparently the WIPO's provisions provide "no consensus on "how consumers are to be protected from the misuse of such control possibilities." The draft is now to be designed closer to European law", says this Heise article.

I'm not sure what that means. Are the Swiss searching for more consumer protection towards DRMs, and do they expect to find it in the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)? That is not the most enlightening example to follow. When it cones to protection of technology (article 6 EUCD) vs. the protection of consumer interests (article 5 EUCD) the EUCD does not live up to its statement in Recital 31: "a fair balance of rights and interests [...] between the different categories of rightsholders and users of protected subject-matter must be safeguarded." The EUCD is a rightholders centric piece of legislation, and unless the Swiss take some of the European consumer protection law into consideration, eyeing European law does not bring more protection against 'misuse of such control possibilities".

More noteworthy developments:

-There has been considerable opposition against the extension of levies beyond blanck CD's/DVD's (to, for example, computers). This extension might now be stopped.

-Under current copyright law downloading of copyrighted material is considered to be an act of private copying, while the unauthorized uploading of copyrighted material is deemed illegal. This is likely to be codified in future legislation.

Looks like damage control to me, Charles

Charles Johnson of LGF professes himself as a leading figure of the anti-Jihad movement. But how serious is he really about anti-Jihad resistance in practice?

The Counterjihad Summit in Brussels was the first of its kind. A very important effort indeed. Not just presentations and talking -- it was a working meeting! Networks were being built, action plans were being worked out, people could come together and feel that there are many of us, even though we are a marginal minority in each place where we operate. This is precisely the way to do it, and much needed. Of course there had been discussions before the conference of whom to invite and whom not to invite, for example it was clear that BNP or Le Pen's Front National should not be invited. No anti-Semites were invited to the conference, only expressly philo-Semitic people were attending. Apart from being repugnant, anti-Semites are the worst possible allies you could have, since they are obsessed by one single theme, all animated by hallucinational fear of ghosts, disconnected from the real world. And anyway, anti-Semites have no interest in attending "icky" philo-Semitic conferences as ours.

Charles Johnson was being kept in the loop about this counterjihad conference from the very start. He got his first email with an invitation to participate from Baron Bodissey already three months before the conference. In total he got three emails. But unlike the majority of the invitees Charles never answered a single email.
- - - - - - - - - -
It was only when Dymphna of Gates of Vienna informed him that the conference had taken place and gave him a link to what Baron Bodissey had written about it, that he acted. And then by suddenly publicly questioning of the whole thing. In his first post about the conference the immediate sneering smackdown, from some commenter of LGF who calls himself "Dave of Sweden", was put on the front page of the post itself. And since then he has continued an ambitious campaign against the conference, more resembling a witch hunt than anything else. All about guilt-by-association charges (mostly using highly questionable sources) most of which were completely faulty, none of which he admitted or corrected, and the remaining ones still just "by association". Gates of Vienna was de-linked from LGF, and Dymphna and Baron Bodissey banned. Fjordman became banned too. A whole bunch of people were banned for not toeing to the line of Charles Johnson.

There are still different opinions about Vlaams Belang among anti-Jihadists. Some think we should work with them, some don't. This is absolutely a valid discussion, and we respectfully exchange the different opinions among each other. So this is not the problem with Charles Johnson and LGF. The grave problem is in how he abstained from giving any constructive criticism before the conference, and how he launched an aggressive campaign against the conference after it had taken place.

But Charles is an intelligent man, and clearly by now he has come to realize how bad this looks. He's been facing a lot of criticism, also from within PajamasMedia by Richard Miniter. Apart from the whole train of people Charles banned, equally many left LGF voluntarily since they found Charles' modus operandi repugnant and dishonest. The reaction against his behaviour has been so strong and widespread that even Charles realized that there is a world outside of LGF -- the echo chamber that he has carefully tailored for himself. He's realized how bad it looks for someone professing as a serious anti-Jihadist to not forwarding any constructive criticism to the epicenter of the anti-Jihad resistance about their pivotal conference, but instead immediately going public with it, striking a decisive blow against the whole effort. So he decided that he needed to do some damage control.

Tom Paine of Shire Network interviewed Charles Johnson this Monday. The very first thing Charles said in the interview was this:

"It actually started because the people who run Gates of Vienna were emailing me about this counterjihad conference that was being organised in Belgium. And so I was paying attention to the story, and really hadn't noticed the guest list too much until I posted something on, I believe it was October 19th, about the conference. And at that point is when I actually read the people who were included in the conference. And realized that there were problems around a couple of them, just because I've been paying attention to what happens there. And I posted that. Then I thought maybe that some of these people were hitching a ride for less than honourable reasons. And after that everything just all blew up (laughter)."
Charles here decides to immediately open with countering the impression that he was fully informed about the conference beforehand, but didn't react until afterwards. He claims that he wasn't fully informed since he hadn't "noticed the guest list too much". The essence of his claim is that he was not aware of the participation of Vlaams Belang until after the conference had taken place, and that this is the reason that he didn't forward constructive criticism to his fellow counterjihadists beforehand. Still he claims that he had been "paying attention to the story" of the emails (but apparently didn't find it important enough to answer any of them).

If we assume that Charles' account of what happened is true, here's the strange thing: even if one didn't read the guest list of these emails at all, but only payed attention to the story, Vlaams Belang is all over the story. The conference was going to take place in Belgium. Security concerns was a major issue, since these kind of meetings regularly gets attacked by leftist stormtroopers (largely egged by more or less obscure Internet campaigns where we are "framed" as Nazi-like). Therefore it was carefully explained early in the story of these emails how Vlaams Belang would take care of the arrangements for the venue and security of the conference. This since they were able to grant us access to the highly secure European and Flemish parliaments for the meetings.

Christine of CVF here gives a detailed account of what had been sent to Charles Johnson in the emails about the conference, about the "story" of the conference:
  1. The email from July 14 stated, “Paul Belien of Brussels Journal is actively involved, and Filip Dewinter, a leader of Vlaams Belang (the Flemish separatist party) is helping us out with the venue and security. “
  2. The email from July 30 stated, “Philip Claeys, EU Parliamentarian with Vlaams Belang, is helping with access to facilities and security.”
  3. The email from September 9 stated “Vlaams Belang is making the arrangements for the venue and security, and I will be in touch later with recommendations for accommodation and information about meals and transport.”
So if we are going to believe Charles, we will have to disbelieve his claim that he had been "paying attention to the story". And by now it becomes rather complex even for the most benevolent believer in Charles' claims, since it becomes apparent that not everything he said in the opening of the Shire interview could be fully true. And either way you twist it, Charles turns out as looking like anything but a serious anti-Jihadist. The most benevolent way to interpret Charles is that he read virtually nothing of the emails sent by Gates of Vienna. And how serious does that look? A "leading" anti-Jihadist falling asleep at the keyboard (three times!) when he gets emails about the most important anti-Jihad conference ever. The less benevolent interpretation is that Charles read it all, which means that he's a backstabber and a liar. Which does not only cast doubts about him being serious, but about him being an anti-Jihadist at all.

Charles is an intelligent man, so he has realized this problem too. He feels how his world is shrinking. Initially he saw himself as speaking for the whole anti-Jihad movement, confident that he spoke for the majority. Then he declared that he had never been on the "anti-jihad bandwagon", at least not the majority conservative one. Now he's appealing only to "US anti-jihad bloggers". Not US anti-Jihadists in general, just the bloggers -- of whom he probably still imagines himself as being the leader.

So at least subconsciously, he's aware of how badly he has damaged his reputation. He's done his best to apply damage control to the situation, but his traitorous behaviour is too obvious. So the question is how many will believe in his spin, apart for the sycophants of his personal echo-chamber.

Christine of CVF, who's keeping track of Charles' LGF comments, just emailed me this:
He’s perhaps a little confused…because he also posted this AFTER the interview was recorded:

Charles 11/12/07 3:42:48 pm reply quote report

re: #813 Meryl Yourish

Actually, what I got out of it was, "Well, we invited him to the conference, and he didn't come, and he didn't say we were bigots for three months, and now all of a sudden, he says we're bigots. That's not FAY-YER."

Indeed. For what it's worth, I don't remember receiving the invitation, and may not have read it. I get 500+ emails a day usually, and it's not unusual for me to miss something. But what does any of that matter? Again, it's an obfuscation; it's got nothing to do with the facts.

DP111 said...

Excellent post CS. It reminds of the famous speech by Mark Antony.

USorThem said...

I've created a page in my blog for those banned from LGF for being "racist", "extremist", "eliminationists", or just a pepple in CJ's sandles, so that we may have a list and perhaps a little insight to CJ's censorship rationale.
Plese add to the list if you've been banned.

Conservative Swede

I'm not sure all of Charles' material originates from left-wing sites. This one seems to be straight from the source. How would you interpret the symbol on page 12 in this document? Is it a pro or a con in your eyes on the question of working together with Vlaams Belang?

TastingFeet: Building Toes And Tongues

Noodle Feet is a robot — an artistically designed robot — that is a character from Sarah Petkus’ webcomic Gravity Road. This webcomic explores a post-human universe inhabited by robots, and dives deep into these robots’ exploration of the trash left behind from a human civilization.

Sarah’s not just drawing these robots. She’s bringing them to life. The character Noodle Feet, so named because his legs are encased in pool noodles, has been made real with an aluminum skeleton, a PCB brain, and infrared detecting eyes. At the 2016 Hackaday SuperConference Sarah gave a talk on the challenges of making this robot real and the specifics of making her robot dig its toes into carpet, slobber all over the floor, and taste with its artificial tongue.

Since last year’s talk on Noodle Feet, Sarah has vastly improved the gripping strength of her noodle’s feet. Over the last two years of construction the mechanism to extend grippy, cat-like toenails has moved from cheap hobby servos to solenoids to a clever cam system. While these toe feet worked, the grip was never quite right, and the world isn’t completely covered in shag carpet. After the break we’ll take a closer look at the improvements that Sarah made to the design and how she came up with the ideas for each new iteration.

The design for these toes changed after Sarah visited JPL and saw the inspiration for these gripping toes, a robot designed to crawl on asteroids and the ceilings of Martian lava tubes. Here, the answer to Noodle Feet’s lack of grip was simple – just add more toes.

robottongueBut last year’s implementation of Noodle Feet wasn’t feature complete. One thing Sarah really wanted in the noodle feet was a tongue, equally capable of tasting human companions and leaving a snail trail of wetness in its wake. A tongue is a highly unorthodox robotic accessory, but Sarah came up with something that almost works, and does it while looking the part.

The design of Noodle Feet’s tongue is now centered around a silicone basting brush, commonly found everywhere from the local Dollar Store to Bed Bath and Beyond. This basting brush consists of fine silicone hairs attached to a container designed to dispense barbecue sauce. It’s simple, and it almost looks like a tongue, to boot.

Of course, Noodle Feet isn’t the only robot Sarah has been working on. She’s already built a judgmental toaster and is pretty far along in building a balancing pink flamingo. All of this is amazing work, and even though judgmental toasters, wet noodle feet, and autonomous lawn flamingos aren’t actually useful, they are fantastic art pieces that push the boundaries of what an artistic robot can be.

Ships at sea are literally islands unto themselves. If what you need isn’t on board, good luck getting it in the middle of the Pacific. As such, most ships are really well equipped with spare parts and even with raw materials and the tools needed to fabricate most of what they can’t store, and mariners are famed for their ability to make do with what they’ve got.

But as self-sufficient as a ship at sea might be, the unexpected can always happen. A vital system could fail for lack of a simple spare part, at best resulting in a delay …read more

12 Rules for Life

A couple of weeks ago I was at the latest of a series of evenings organised by the How to Academy.

The speaker – Jordan Peterson – looked intriguing and I was particularly interested to learn about his new book ’12 Rules for Life: An Antidote for Chaos’. But what I wasn’t prepared for was the standing ovation that greeted him in a lecture theatre holding more than a thousand people – even before he had started speaking.

His ‘rules’ are fascinating in themselves and have a great deal to say both to individuals and to couples. Rule 4 ‘Compare yourself with who you were yesterday, not with who someone else is today’ is advice that could save a large number of people from a great deal of grief. People I see are often comparing themselves with what they think the ‘norm’ is or what they perceive other relationships to look like from the outside.

What also really intrigued me was his willingness to talk frankly about the capacity ‘nice people’ have to become something different. Writing in the Observer Magazine 10 days ago Tim Lott interviewed Peterson and commented on him saying – ‘The problem with ‘nice people’ is that they’ve never been in any situation that would turn them into the monsters they are capable of being’. To support his case Peterson looks to Nietzsche though he could equally well have quoted William Golding’s ‘Lord of the Flies’. He reflected further in his talk that it was so-called normal people not sociopaths, who were responsible for the atrocities of Nazism, Stalinism and Maoism. We must not forget, said Peterson, that we are corrupt and pathetic, and capable of great malevolence.

Whilst I wouldn’t want to express what Peterson is saying that bluntly nevertheless I am well aware as a couple therapist at Coupleworks of the problems and challenges faced by a couple when one member of the partnership has a seemingly immovable belief in the fact that all the darkness – or problems or difficulties – are located in their partner. Helping a person to see a different perspective and to move to a more realistic understanding of themselves and their contribution to the problems in a relationship is part of the challenge of couple therapy. Change can happen in a relationship when each partner realises how their ‘darkness’ is contributing to the issues.

Peterson’s 12 Rules has some interesting ideas to offer both to individuals and couples. However what will be of real help to the many people I work with, is to discover that in acknowledging their personal darkness they need not fear chaos but will in fact find its potential as a liberating route to life.

A great start to our week....

We had a really great day today (Monday)!  They announced Sunday that Ava's school would remain closed so I knew we needed to get out of the house.  I wasn't quite ready to drive my car since our road hadn't melted much but I was determined to get us the heck out.

First I assembled the bike trailer stroller, thinking the girls could cozy up inside with blankets while I pushed them through the snow.  I only made it a few feet before I realized this was. not. happening.  So out they went and I grabbed the good old Bob stroller.  It was brilliant in the deep slushy terrain.  This meant Ava had to walk but she said that it really was for the best since her new jeans weren't really good for sitting.  I guess they are a little stiff, ha ha.

 I was worried if we didn't leave, this may be how they spent their day.
 They were pretty excited when I announced we'd be going to visit our friends.

I was impressed that Ava made it the whole mile in the snow with no real complaining.  She was a joy to talk with and guide, it gave us lots of opportunities to discuss snow, ice, the dangers of the road and a million other subjects that came up.
 When we got there she was excited to swing, last time she didn't get a chance to and this time it was in snow, which makes everything more special.  She is so good at pumping now, what a great development!  No more pushing, well for her...
This one still needs some work.  : )
Next we took the kids over to the coffee shop and treated them to some bagels.
 After that we took them back to Lauren's where they got to play for several hours and decorate gingerbread men!  So fun!!

 Messy projects are always the most fun!

On the way home I surprised the girls with the suggestion to stop (even though we were supposed to be hurrying home for Norah's nap) and build a snowman!  Last time we had tried the snow wouldn't stick together but this snow was perfect!
Build a friend!

So great that Ava made it the whole two mile round trip with a great attitude, what a blessing!

Since Norah went down for such a late nap I decided I better wake her up.  As she was waking up, I leaned my face against hers and whispered to her "I love you Norah".  She looked lovingly at me and said "I love blankets with elephants on them."  ha ha ha

This really fun day was wrapped up with me getting to go to the grocery store, in my car, by myself!!  Such a treat after being cooped up for so many days!! I don't think I have driven anywhere since Wednesday!

I did enjoy our little snow event but I'm really happy it's now over!!

Go Pho It menu

Fancy winning FREE Pho until the end of Feb? Course ya do! Read on to enter…

You guys may have noticed that I’ve been hitting up BLOK – hard.

I’m not going to lie, the thought of walking down the aisle in front of 70 of our nearest and dearest is motivation enough to get me to the 6.30am classes.

However with all this focus on fitness, I can’t help but take a long hard look at my diet too. When I can, I’m trying to gravitate towards dishes that are low-calorie, high-protein and low-fat (well, at least until the big day – roll on November 9th!). Which doesn’t really sound like a barrel of laughs does it? And it certainly doesn’t sound like we’ll be doing much eating out.

Well, maybe. Turns out Pho have launched a brand spanking new Go Pho It Menu which is all that PLUS has gluten free and vegan options as well. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?

Go Pho It Healthy Menu

Starters include the likes of spicy salad rolls (carb free little wonders clocking in at just 44 cals) or the enoki hand roll which is filled with crunchy veg, mushrooms and fine vermicelli before being wrapped up in rice paper. Of course the peanut dipping sauce hasn’t gone anywhere – thank GOD.

There’s a new cauliflower rice bowl section with all dishes clocking in at under 550 calories (with many of them much lower). Stodgy rice has been replaced with a layer of naturally lower carb cauliflower rice and is then topped with all their delicious wok-fried veg, pickles and peanuts before being finished with a portion of protein. Chargrilled pork, crispy beef and a three meat combo certainly doesn’t sound like diet food to us. Vegans, fear not – the tofu and veg is calling your name. Of course a visit to Pho isn’t complete without a bowl of their namesake – but to ensure it’s healthy they’ve switched the noodles for courgetti. Genius.

Go Pho It Healthy Menu

They’ve even got your back if you’re persevering with Dry January – the Nojito is a lime and mint muddle with homemade lemonade sans rum. To help with digestion they’ve got a cracking selection of feel good teas by teapigs – the Clean ‘n Green being a favourite of ours.

And to top it all off, the menu helpfully provides detailed nutritional advice (calories, fat, protein) so you can make informed choices when out.

As a Pho ambassador, I’m going to be putting Pho to the test until the end of Feb. We want to see if it can power us through those early morning workouts, and most importantly of all – will it allow me to squeeze into *THE* dress at my next fitting. It was pretty damn tight last time I tried it on.

WIN with Pho!

Of course we don’t want to be the only one having all the fun so we’re giving away a 50% off card which can be used at any Pho throughout January and February 2019. It will give you and a friend 50% off your food every SINGLE time you dine. We’ll also throw in four FREE pho cards as well which can be exchanged for a free bowl of the good stuff until the end of Feb.

A Pho feast for you and your pals. Hurrah!

To enter, just like this photo and tag who you’d Go Pho It with and we’ll pick a winner at random.

Good Luck!

CSI Green Statement

You might have heard (or felt) the push of the printing industry towards a “greener,” and more sustainable philosophy. It’s almost certain that you’ve talked and/or read about the following issues recently: paper made from sustainable forests, recycled content, soy inks, biodegradable substrates; the list is long and growing even longer.

In the midst of all of this change, several agencies are at work trying to regulate, codify, and yes, profit from the trend towards environmental conservatism. And while most of this is good, it is still fairly amorphous. In light of the potential confusion that still exists while these agencies and policies are smoothed out, we at CSI are taking a more measured approach.

Until the standards and governing bodies (FSC, SGP, SFI, etc) have created an intelligible and sensible standard, CSI will most likely not be applying for any particular certification. That said, we strongly feel that environmental responsibility is an essential part of our business model going forward, and will continue to be so for the long term.

In the meantime, CSI pledges to make the following commitments, regardless of whether or not a governing body mandates them:

  • Employ and continue to purchase equipment that runs as cleanly and as environmentally friendly as possible.
  • Evaluate the environmental impact of any new equipment purchase. Whether it is a new wide-format printer or piece of bindery equipment, CSI will analyze the impact that hardware has on the environment (if any) and do our best to address the issues that arise.
  • Make available to our clients several substrates and media choices for their print projects that utilize many environmentally friendly practices. We already have sources who provide bio-degradable vinyls, recycled mounting boards, and even bio-degradable laminate. While some of these materials are costly, we will offer them as options at our best possible pricing.
  • Continue to research new products and materials as they become available. In other words, keep the environmental aspect in focus regardless of what direction we go.

It is our hope that our suppliers and other industry players will share our goals in this arena. And if you, our customer, have any suggestions or ideas that can help us, never hesitate to let us know.

Thank you for your continued support,

The staff at CSI

Raul Castro warns U.S. against meddling in Cuba’s affairs
Wed Jan 28, 2015 6:42pm EST
By Enrique Pretel

Jan 28 (Reuters) – Cuba will not accept any interference from the United
States in its internal affairs, President Raul Castro said on Wednesday,
warning that meddling would make rapprochement between the two countries

His comments came after U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Roberta
Jacobson, the highest-ranking U.S. government official to visit the
island in 35 years, held talks with Cuban officials on restoring
diplomatic relations. Jacobson also met Cuban dissidents, annoying Cuban

“Everything appears to indicate that the aim is to foment an artificial
political opposition via economic, political and communicational means,”
Castro told a summit in Costa Rica.

“If these problems are not resolved, this diplomatic rapprochement
between Cuba and the United States would be meaningless,” he said.

Castro made it clear, however, that he was committed to the talks
despite his concern that Washington might try to stir up internal
opposition within Cuba through greater telecommunications access and the

Castro said during the visit with American diplomats that Cuba had
proposed that it be removed from a blacklist of state sponsors of
terrorism, and the return of the U.S. Guantanamo naval base.

The Cuban leader also urged U.S. President Barack Obama to use executive
powers to ease a decades-long embargo against Cuba, saying Washington
could extend measures like those announced for telecoms to other areas
of the economy.

While Obama can gut much of the embargo, only Congress can lift it
completely. Obama has asked Congress to do so, and has started by easing
restrictions on telecommunications companies in Cuba, among other measures.

Any U.S. companies would have to reach an agreement with Cuban
authorities before doing business on the island.

Castro reiterated that he has no plans to budge from Cuba’s single party
political system, although observers have said that does not rule out
the possibility that independent politicians might be given space to run
for local elections in the future.

Castro said Obama’s decision to hold a debate in Congress about
eliminating the embargo was “significant”, adding that he was aware that
ending it “will be a long and hard road”.

The historic high-level talks between United States and Cuba in Havana
are expected to lead to re-establishment of diplomatic ties that were
severed by Washington in 1961. (Additional reporting by David Adams in
Miami and Daniel Trotta in Havana; Writing by Simon Gardner; Editing by
