Very Simple Menu r1

The goal of the code and apps on Jaanga is to be a resource for people who know a lot about something and just a little about programming. A hero around here is Mr.doob. He states it bluntly on his Three.js site when he says:
The aim of the project is to create a lightweight 3D library with a very low level of complexity — in other words, for dummies.
We are at one with this mindset.

If you understand the equal sign, an 'if-then' statement and a 'for i = 0 to  i= 100', then reading the code on Jaanga should be quite straightforward.

Also, you do not need too know much about HTML and CSS.  The JavaScript Document Object Model or DOM is built into every browser and the DOM enables you to create and control every aspect of a web page from JavaScript alone. Thus all the Jaanga apps are 100% JavaScript for dummies.

Why try to simplify things?

It's not about simplifying things, it's about simplifying the programming part of things.

You are an architect or physicist or mathematician. Do you also need to be a wiz at jQuery or rule at Ruby?

No, you do not. And, more bluntly, the more time you spend on devising elegant programming code the less time you are spending on your own discipline.

Have a look at the Very Simple Menu demo and source code. Using just these few lines of code you could actually construct a Content Management System (CMS) that could access thousands of files. [And all of these files can even be hosted for you by GitHub free of charge, but that is another matter.]

As simple as this code is, it's worth remembering that this is just Very Simple Menu R1. Could the code be even simpler or the variables have better names? Could the commenting be more explicit?

R2 should be simpler and yet do more. Why not?

Terrain & Terrain Viewer Updates

De Ferranti Gives A Thumb's Up

A large portion of the Jaanga Terrain elevation data originates from Jonathan de Ferranti's Viewfinder Panoramas web site. It is essential therefore to have his approval for the usage and translation of the data.

I emailed Jonathan de Ferranti over the weekend explaining the nature of the Terrain project. He responded quickly saying that the usage of his data in this manner is acceptable. Attribution is requested but not mandatory.

So please do feel free to use the Jaanga Terrain data in any way that you wish. The Jaanga portions of the effort are under an MIT license. And similarly to Jonathan's request: attribution is nice but not required.

Terrain and Terrain Viewer Repositories Now Have Menus

All Jaanga material on the GitHub website is available in two ways. You can view the material as source code at or you can view the material as a web page (using the GitHub Pages feature) at

If you use the latter, there is now a nice and simple menu system that enables you to move around the web pages quickly and easily. There have been a number of previous iterations of of this menu system. This one is the simplest and easiest to maintain/

The goals include
  • Write everything only once
  • Everything that is written automagically appears on both the source code and the web pages
  • Write everything in Markdown format
  • Everything is turned into HTML automagically
There's quite a bit more to the system, but not that much more - or it would start to get complicated which is what we are trying to avoid.

All of this is worth a post or two in its own right, but for the moment just be happy to be able to Roam the repos more easily.

New Repository: Terrain Plus

This repository is for smaller data sets/

The gazetteer with over 2000 places names with latitude and longitude has been moved here

The very beautiful 'unicom' elevation data is now here. More about that data in a later post

PNG Viewer r3: Many New Features

There is now a dropdown that allows you to 'travel' to over 2000 locations.

A 'Lighten' button makes very dark PNG files much easier to read

The major new new element is that every place in the gazetteer that is withing the current tile area is now displayed on the PNG with a little red box. To the right of the box is displayed the name of the location and its elevation. Not that the elevation is just a height relative the the lowest point in the heightmap. It will take a bit more learning about de Ferranti's data to display the actual elevation. But the data should not be good enough so that an object such as a building can be place on the map and not be up in the air or totally underground.

Now that there is a working prototype, the next step will be to add his feature to unFlatland and start adding objects.

unFlatland r5.1: New Revision is Up. Already Hopelessly Outdated by unFlatland r6 Dev

unFlatland r6 Dev ~ view of Hong Kong Island

unFlatland r5.1 is up and it does most everything that was promised in the post on unFlatland r4.

But it sucks.

This revision can now display any location on earth with a height or elevation or altitude or whatever accurate to 90 meters. It accesses the wonderful Jaanga Terrain repository of heightmaps accurate to 90 meters  - anywhere on the entire Earth (Thanks to J de F) . It all follows the OpenStreetMap Tile Map System and zoom from the entire world - zoom level 0 town to zoom level 15 and maybe even beyond

Old School.

It's only five hundred lines of code - so it really is aimed at the target audience (which is us dummies) .

It has geo-referencing. Click the Placards checkbox to to see the city names pop up at the correct latitude and longitude

unFlatland r5 ~ view of San Francisco Bay with 'blobby' overlay

Well, how about this? r5 already has had its first critique. swissGuy says: ' So it remains blobby for the moment.' Obviously swissGuy is taking his own sweet time to observe. Actually unFlatland r5 has *TWELVE* overlays and the blobby overlay is just the one we happened to feature in this release. swissGuy should learn to watch how he watches.

Wotcha!  << London slang greeting

Yes, of course, it should be finished. It must have its FGx aircraft flying around in real-time and, yes, it needs to be Leap Motion-enabled. But...

But what!?!

Well, these other few lines of code just sort of showed up. Kind of by accident. You know, fixing something else in another part of the forest. And there's a bit of crossover in the code. And then, who know how, the code is co-mingled. And thus, yes goddammit, r5 is 'old school'.

Um, we have decided to name the codeling 'r6'.

A growing desert

In the summer of 2014, photographer Jacqueline Zilberberg and writer Liliana Lara, both from Venezuela, met in Israel to collaborate on a project which combines images and words from the vision of those coming from afar. In this project, the protagonist is the desert.

A stone desert, free from the continuous movement of the sands.

This is the desert of Judea, on the way to the Dead Sea, in Israel. In this desert, changes take centuries to perform. The wind incessantly gnaws the stones until they are crested. You can even feel the texture’s static and lumpy form. And still, the desert expands, not only as an ecological catastrophe but as a Nietzsche kind of void. “Poor is he, who harbors the desert inside.”

These are the images of what we saw in this desert.

What first hit us was the aridity.

Because we come from tropical greenery, with abundance of water and bustle, this silence shuddered us.

We wish to show the meaning of this dried and colorless, open and never ending place, for somebody who grew in a jungle landscape.

In this desert there are trees, but they are growing artificially, with the help of waters brought from afar through long pipes. Other trees grow naturally, with stubbornness, waiting in the heat of death for a minuscule raindrop through the seasons.

This is not an inhabited desert. Humans left their mark through their buildings, their electric wires hanging over the winding roads, and their plowing and sowing at any cost.

The Judean desert is a seabed, and we walk the depth of this extinct, millennial and condensed sea. At the lowest and saltiest place on earth, what remains of this sea has been turned into spas and hotels, where cautious ladies bathe, soaking their bodies, wearing their plastic bathing caps.

Paradoxically, the sea of death serves as a therapeutic bath.

While looking at this Mexican cactus, completely detached from the surrounding nature, you can feel the artificiality of tourism, of the travelers, and of the beholder with estranged eyes.

the flutter sleeve polo dress

polo dress gone dressy. ha!

i'm pretty sure this is my first polo dress! i think most polo dresses are casual pieces that are usually made of the typical polo material and can be worn with some comfy sneaks, but it was a whole nother case when this one arrived from @BananaRepublic. a dressy polo -- red with a lace overlay, scalloped hem, AND flutter sleeves (not to mention the subtle satin collar & buttons and the pockets!). gosh, you can't make it more feminine than that! my immediate styling thoughts; gold accessories. for a more fitted look, i cinched this with a gold belt that i had been eyeing #perfectopportunity. gold earrings, gold hardframe clutch and nude stiletto heels to complete this entire chic polo dress look. you should give it a try!

side BEAUTY ramblings: y'all know i'm a skincare nerd. i love talking about skincare & taking care of my skin as much as i love eating #whichisalot. i ran out of my SK-II facial treatment essence recently and started using @TATCHA's the essence. way better packaging and dispensing system than SK-II. their most recent product is the Violet-C Radiance Mask which i am super excited to try! also, @hourglass came out with a slim & refillable lipstick that looks like a stiletto heel.. which means i'll have to check out ASAP!

currently on my playlist: girl on fire by Alicia Keys (takin' it back old school)

i always love a good artsy shot, thanks Katie!

Wachstein, Bernhard

WACHSTEIN, BERNHARD (Dov Ber Wachstein; 1868–1935), historian, bibliographer, and genealogist. Born in Tłuste, Galicia, he was educated in the Vienna rabbinical seminary and University of Vienna. In 1903 he became librarian of the Vienna community. He broadened the Judaica collection and was made assistant director in 1906; later he became director of the library, which he built up to 50,000 volumes, making it one of the richest and best ordered in Europe. In 1912 and 1917 he published his two-volume master work, Die Inschriften des alten Judenfriedhofes in Wien, a scholarly study of the tombstones of the Viennese Jewish community dating from 1540 to 1783. Wachstein subsequently rendered a similar service to the community of *Eisenstadt (Die Inschriften des alten Judenfriedhofes in Eisenstadt, 1922) and also published a number of monographs on Moravian communities. He compiled a bibliography of Hebrew eulogies in the holdings of the community library in Vienna (Mafteach Ha-hespedim. Zur Bibliographie der Gedaechtnis- und Trauervorträge in der hebraeischen Literatur, 4 vols., 1922–32) as well as bibliographies of the writings of G. *Wolf and M. *Guedemann. Together with Alexander Kristianpoller and Israel Taglicht, he published an anthology on Hebrew journals in Vienna (Die Hebraeische Publizistik in Wien, 3 vols., 1930). In 1939, a few years after his death, YIVO published the Vakhsteyn-bukh, a compilation in his memory.

Need fast cash? Gig your way through the tight spots

I've always been a bit of a hustler. No, no. I don't spam strangers attempting to convince them that I'ma Nigerian zillionaire.

(And if they'll just wire me $54K, my mom will stay out of jail and we'll all share in riches beyond our wildest dreams).

Nor do I spend my off days counting cards in Vegas.

(Those who know me personally will get a real laugh out of this one.)

Of course not.

But I do have a deeply ingrained survival instinct, and have been known to find highly creative ways to make quick cash during tight economic times.

(Whatever just popped into your head, stop it. Stop. Legal, ethical things. Shame on you.)

My new favorite idea is gigging. I love the idea, and I love the word.

I know, this is not a new concept, but here are a couple of awesome fast-moolah ideas that you may not have considered. You need to make some bucks quickly? Read on.

The New Kid: Gigwalk

I just learned about Gigwalk last week, and fell in love instantly. Now, if it would just come to Portland, I will try it and report back personally on how well it works.

But it's already in a ton of U.S. cities, so I'll share what I know here.

Gigwalk is an iPhone app that pays users to take pictures of things and then submit them to companies.

Say a restaurant reviewing website needs information about menu items in Miami, or the corporate HQ of a hotel chain needs a quick, current image inside one of their properties in Seattle. They can post their "gig" on Gigwalk and invite people to mosey in to that location and snap a quick picture. It's brilliant. And in major cities? There could be 20-50 gigs in a half-mile radius. So if you live in that 'hood? You can just stroll down the street and snap, snap, snap... submit, submit, submit.

Each gig pays between $3 and $90, which can add up quickly if you're willing to put in a bit of legwork. And, yes, you need to have an iPhone and load Gigwalk's (free) app.

It's a brand new company. So far, there are gigs in the more populous regions of California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington.

Please, someone. Try this and report back. I'm dying to hear how it goes.

The Standby That People Forget About: Craigslist

You probably know that Craiglist is a great place to sell unwanted stuff locally, look for apartments and check out job opportunities, right? But do you look at the Gigs section? It's a separate section underneath the JOBS section. See it?

On any given day, you can find writing, labor, domestic services and other highly interesting gigs advertised here. For instance, today on the Portland edition of Craiglist, I'm seeing the following gigs:

  • Build me a chicken coop
  • Take pictures of my furniture, please
  • Need an art festival wine bar greeter
  • Need long haired men for styling event (this one, btw, pays up to $400!)
  • Looking for part-time dog runners
  • Need a very-part-time babysitter
  • Make announcements at our wedding

As you can see, there is something for everyone. I'm, in fact, considering the chicken coop one, so don't even think about stealing it.

And so. If you are in a sitch where you could use (or absolutely must get your hands on) some extra cash?

Don't just sit there. Gig it.

Exclusive 1:1 interview with Seven Psychopaths' star Sam Rockwell

One of the hottest titles to play at TIFF this year was SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, Martin McDonagh’s brilliant takedown of the hip-gangster genre. Boasting a cast including Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, and Tom Waits, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS was an intriguing addition to TIFF’s usually genre-heavy Midnight Madness lineup. Certainly, McDonagh’s follow-up to IN BRUGES was a little highbrow for Midnight Madness? Within five minutes it was obvious that yes, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS- with heavy doses of comedy and the occasional blast of ultra-violence was right where it belonged, and to say it absolutely rocked the Ryerson Theater that night is an understatement (READ MY REVIEW).

While the entire cast contributes standout work, the real breakout star of SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS has to be Sam Rockwell. Over the last decade, Rockwell’s done it all- from sci-fi comedy (HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY) to sci-fi seriousness (MOON), to zany laugh-riots (THE SITTER), to blockbusters (IRON MAN 2) to dark, sobering drama (SNOW ANGELS). SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS features Rockwell as the ne’er do well dognapper, Billy- who makes the mistake of stealing psycho gangster Charlie’s (Woody Harrelson) beloved shih-tzu, much to the dismay of his best friend, struggling screenwriter Marty (Colin Farrell).

Rockwell generously made time to give us a 1:1 interview shortly after the SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS premiere, and we chatted for nearly a half-hour about the challenges of inhabiting the duplicitous Billy, while staying true to McDonagh’s tightly written screenplay (while avoiding SPOILERS).

Sam Rockwell: Great, we’re alooone. All right, man. So I saw the movie on Friday night at the Midnight Madness screening and I loved it.

Crazy, it was right up my alley.

Great! That was a good reception, man.

Oh yeah, it was awesome.

It was pretty cool, man.

But I wanted to ask you, you mentioned in the Q & A or Martin mentioned in the Q & A, that you guys knew each other a little bit. Had you worked together before?

Yeah, we did a Broadway play. Me and Chris Walken did Martin’s play beginning in Spokane with Zoe Kazan and Anthony Mackie.

Oh, okay. How did you end up getting the script for this or how did this end up coming together?

I got it while I was finishing the play. Martin sent it over.

Was this a while ago though?

So this was a couple of years ago. Iron Man 2 had just come out. He sent it over and I read it, and I thought it was genius. I think I went and did Cowboys and Aliens and The Sitter. Then I took some time off and then they got the green light for the film with Colin. We did a reading with Colin. Colin was attached pretty much from the get-go, I think, but somehow we got the green light. Once we had all that together, we started getting into it, and then I started preparing for it.

How close is the film to the script that you received a couple of years ago? Were there a lot of changes or was it close?

Not a lot, there’s a few changes. Originally some dogs were killed, actually.

Oh really?

Yeah, yeah. That was changed. ‘Cause that just felt a little too dark.

And the tone is primarily comedic.

Oh for sure.

There were a few things. There was one line about that my character thought he was Travis Bickle’s son, not Robert DeNiro’s son, Travis Bickle’s son. But we kept his last name being Bickle. I think Martin said to me once he was going to change it, he said “Do you think we should change Bickle?”, and I said “No, I think we should keep it.” Bickle, there’s something there. You can see the comparisons, a little bit, could be made.

I wanted to ask, ‘cause Martin McDonagh is known for his prose basically right, and it kind of reminds me of David Mamet or something. I was wondering to you was that a similar thing?

Absolutely, yeah.

Not a lot of room for improvisation, I guess?

Yeah, Mamet, Tarantino, David Rave you know. Very similar kind of cadence to it. Yeah, absolutely.

What’s the challenge though in keeping that sounding naturalistic though? Because even though it was beautifully written, sometimes when something’s written that way it seems almost stylized. But it seems natural though, when I saw it. Totally.

Yeah, the dialogue is actually very easy to say, and it is stylized but it’s very realistically written, and it’s very specific. Things like “Ye”, or “Youse”, it’s kind of Irish-New Yorky. It’s kind of pretty dead-end kid. You almost envision in another version of this they would talk like dead-end kids, like “Hey, it’s getting waste”. I gave him a little bit of a New York regionalism, which worked for me. I think you need a working class kind of undertone and Colin has that with his Irish accent and I put a little bit of that in. I think Woody’s got more of a rural Texas thing that works for him and then Chris, of course being from Queens, and being a baker’s son, he can access that side of him as well. And also be incredibly eloquent because of all that Shakespeare and Chekhov he’s done.

Speaking of the title-Do you think that your guy sees himself as a psychopath?

No, no way. He’s a … there’s a similar relationship like in Bullets over Broadway with Chazz Palminteri and John Cusack with me and Colin, you know, where Chazz is kinda going “Hey this is how you gotta do the movie, man”. This is similar, he’s a gangster/muse, you know?

Yeah absolutely.

There’s that quality, I think. Speaking of Chazz Palminteri, the Sean Penn and Chazz Palminteri relationship in Hurlyburly which I think was originally William Hurt and Harvey Keitel, but that is a similar… they might have cut this…is it clear that I am an out of work actor?

Yeah, yeah, you talk about auditions and stuff, and getting kicked out because you beat a guy up.

Yeah. ‘Cause they cut a line at the party. I think that was interesting where I say I’m an actor. Yeah, and Chazz is sort of an out of work actor and he looks up to Sean Penn and same thing with me and Colin, you know, I look up to Colin’s character.

And one thing that I thought was great about the film too is that you and Colin Farrell had a really great camaraderie, it’s on screen. Even though they’re two polar opposites, they could’ve been friends, right?

… and it doesn’t really stretch believability. Sometimes when you see movies like that, you’re like well “How would he have ever ended up hanging out with this guy?”

Yeah, that’s right.

How did you guys kind of work on that chemistry a bit and with Walken too, I thought…

Yeah, well Walken and I had already had that from the play ‘cause we spent so much time together during the play so we have this relationship, me and Chris. Colin and I had to develop that pretty quickly and that’s just luck really ‘cause we have good chemistry. That’s it, that’s the thing that’s sort of unexplainable; you have good chemistry with these people.

There’s like a road trip too or something, you guys went on before?

We took a road trip, me and Martin and Colin and that’s where Colin found a bear hat in a rest stop and he put it on my head and he got the Cheetos and chocolate milk thing. We had a little bit of that in the movie. He recommended Cheetos and chocolate milk. And we used that hat in the movie, you know, so… but Colin is… you know, these are very likeable people, they’re great actors…

Sure, sure.

Abby Cornish, and Woody, you know it’s like, it’s not hard to….unless somebody turns out to be an asshole, but these are not those people. These are great people. So there’s a reason Colin is a movie star, he’s a very charismatic guy. He’s infectious, you know? You can’t help but just love the guy so we just hit it off pretty much right away. I remember I met Colin years before that, and he was really great. Really cool. But that’s a different Colin, you know, he was a kid, I was a kid.

How does your approach to a movie like this though… ‘cause what I find really interesting about your career is that you’ve done pretty much every genre, right? But with Seven Psychopaths, it feels like it’s all genres, right?

It’s a comedy, but it’s also, you know, a crime thriller. There’s some drama in there, there are a couple of great contained dramatic scenes, where- you know, where it’s serious. How’s your approach to that? Do you approach it like a comedy? Is there a distinctly different approach depending on the tone of the role?

Yeah, ultimately I think you got to play everything very real, you have to be truthful, no matter what.

Naturalistic, yeah.

I think everything has to be truthful, but that being said, I think that you do lend yourself towards the style of the filmmaker and whatever that is, you know. But I think all good actors are truthful, that’s their job. Truthful under imaginary circumstances, you know. You gotta do that at the end of the day. When in doubt, be real, you know. If you don’t know what to do, just be real. That being said, there is a style, when you know that it’s a comedy, for the most part, with these poignant moments. It’s a lot of work involved preparing for something like this, but then you got to kind of throw it away and let happy accidents happen.

And it’s also kind of a deconstruction of the genre, as well though.

Yeah, it’s a debate on violence in film.

And very timely too, yeah.

Yeah, yes very much, yeah.

How did you… when you saw the film cut together on Friday, was it your first time actually seeing it?

Did you stay for the screening? Did you watch it?

Oh yeah, that’s my first time. It was amazing.

Sometimes when you read a script for a movie, it has no resemblance to the final product ‘cause it kind of comes together in the editing room… I guess, I’m going to assume… but somebody like Martin McDonagh who writes in a very kind of, where the script almost works as a piece of literature on its own, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Did you find that it was all there on the page and it’s all there in the film or is it kind of… were you surprised when you saw it? The way it was going and the direction that it was heading in.

Was I surprised it was going in the way that it was when I saw the movie?

Sure, yeah.

I was. You know what I was surprised about… one thing I was unsure about were a lot of the scenes in the desert where the guys are talking about feelings. I didn’t know if we’d lose the audience there and if the jokes would still work. And surprisingly all the jokes worked. And as soon as you were like, “Oh, are we talking about too many feelings here?” you know, a car would explode or somebody would get shot, so let’s kind of shake it up and I think that was Martin’s whole thing, that’s what the movie’s about. It’s like, OK, it’s fine to talk about feelings but then we gotta blow up a car now.

Well, it’s a pretty hard-core audience too, right?

They seemed like they got into it.

They got into it. They got the tone.

But it’s interesting that you say that though, the last forty minutes of it kind of take place in the desert and just like Colin’s character says, “Hey we should go out to the desert and just talk about our feelings.”

Just talk about feelings, yeah.

And that’s what happens, right?

And it’s almost like a play, but it doesn’t feel that way. I couldn’t imagine this as a play, but it has that kind of feel to it.

When you’re doing that kind of performance, is there a lot of… was there a long rehearsal period or something like that? Like getting the timing down?

We did a little rehearsal, but not extensive. We definitely rehearsed in the desert. We did a little bit, but not a lot. Martin’s very precise about what he wants and stuff, you know.

Great. Well, thanks a lot man.

Thanks man.

exercise in visual notation

3.31 min loop
quadraphonic sound and video installation

“Exercise in visual notation” exploits the idea of translating uncontrolled, silent natural moments into audible sound.

The seemingly erratic dance of little flies in the centre of a room at the height of summer has for a long time captured my fascination. Observing them, there seem to be strict patterns of behaviour, in other words certain rules and restrictions, to their chaotic buzzing.

This work is an attempt to make the silent symphony, conducted without conscious intention, but rather by the evolutionary forth of nature, audible. The pattern of the recorded movement, filmed at a particular moment for the given time, becomes a visual score to the acoustic work.

In order to translate the visual score into sound, first a tonal scale is devised, in just intonation, based on the multiples of the 7/4, the septimal minor seventh and 3/2, the perfect fifth. This leads to a tonal scale consisting of 36 individual notes contained in one octave. These notes are then distributed across the 2 dimensional surface of the video footage making up the visual notation. The particular order of this distribution derives from the relations of 7/4 and 3/2 making up each individual note.

explanatory image of visual score

Analysing the visual score with the superimposed notes (see picture) frame by frame, 25 frames/sec, leads to a written score that then is translated into music and played alongside the video conducting the music. The panning of this 4 speaker piece, also resembles the position of the played note on the grid, and thereby, the spatial position.

The physical manifestation of this process is a non-durational sound and video installation.  The audio-visual part of the work is a loop, with no definable beginning or end, feeding repetitively back into itself. Projected into a sculptural frame with embedded speakers and a back projection screen.

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement – Oregon

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans in Oregon, should be one of the companies you compare if you are new to medicare or shopping for a new company.

In Oregon, Mutual of Omaha, Gerber and Aetna, are all very competitive through out the State. Depending on your zip code and age, any one of these may be your choice.  There may be one or two companies with a lower premium for certain age groups or zip codes, but overall the Mutual of Omaha plans are extremely competitive.

Mutual of Omaha …

A+ financial rating, decades of Medicare Supplement experience along with proven excellent customer service, the Mutual of Omaha companies provide unquestionable stability and competitiveness in the Medicare Supplement market place.

Doctors & Hospitals …

With Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement plan, you are able to see any Physician, Specialist and Hospital in the United States if they are Medicare approved.  You no longer need to verify if your doctor or hospital accepts a particular insurance company or plan.

With a Medicare Supplement all you need to do is make sure they accept Medicare.  No need to worry about state borders or insurance provider networks, simply make sure your doctor accepts Medicare and your medical services will be covered depending on the plan you have chosen.

Medicare Parts A & B …

In order to enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan you must first have in force both Medicare Parts A and B.  You will be given a Medicare card with effective dates for both Parts.  Once your Part B goes into effect you will have 6 months to enroll without having to answer any health or prescription questions on the application.  This 6 month window is called the “Initial Enrollment Period,” which is a guaranteed-issue period.

Medicare Supplement …

Every Medicare Supplement policy must follow Federal and state laws designed to protect you, and the policy must be clearly identified as “Medicare Supplement Insurance.”  Medigap Insurance companies in most states can only sell you a “standardized” Medigap policy identified by letters A through N.

Each standardized Medicare Supplement policy must offer the same basic benefits, no matter which insurance company sells it.  Premium payments are usually the only difference between Medigap policies with the same letter sold by different insurance companies.  In Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin, the Medicare Supplement policies are standardized in a different way.

What Medicare Supplement policies don’t cover …

Generally, Medigap policies don’t cover long-term care, vision, dental care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and private duty nursing. Care in a nursing home or home care is a covered expense as long as the condition is for recovery.  If the condition is considered degenerative in nature, Medicare will stop coverage and you will need a “long-term care” type of policy to cover at that point.

Medicare Part D Rx plans …

With a Medicare Supplement policy, you will also need to enroll in a Medicare Part D Rx plan for your prescription coverage.  The best place to start is right here!  Email your medication list to me with the name of the drug, dosage and frequency.  I will enter the information into the Medicare website, and email the comparison results to you.  The results will show the top 3 plans in your county, which provides the best coverage for the lowest cost for your prescriptions.  Please call anytime I am happy to help.  Click here for Part D info

No Cost Help … I work with nationally recognized insurance companies to give you the quality, affordable insurance you’re looking for. I will never spam you or share you name, email or phone with anyone. Best of all, my assistance is no cost to you.

Family Law

The leading authority on all aspects of family law

20 FEB 2014

View from the foot of the Tower: Elephants and Barbara Streisand

View from the foot of the Tower: Elephants and Barbara Streisand
In 2003, Barbara Streisand wanted to stop publication of photographs of her Malibu residence and sent off some letters from her attorneys threatening dire consequences for anyone who published them. Unfortunately for her, the story changed from 'Rich famous woman owns nice house - have a look at it'  to 'Rich famous woman tries to silence free speech' and as a result, far more people ended up looking at the Malibu home than ever would have done if the story had run unhindered.

Ever since then, the Streisand Effect has been a term used for when an attempt to silence a story ends up bringing the very thing you were trying to keep quiet to the attention of many more people than if you had just let it go.   (It may be fortunate for a particular Welsh footballer that there was already a name for this phenomenon, when the ‘superinjunction' furore finally came to a head.)
What has this got to do with family law? Or indeed elephants?

Well, the elephant in the room relating to the current position in law, following Re J (Reporting Restriction: Internet: Video) [2013] EWHC 2694 (Fam), [2014] 1 FLR (forthcoming), the President's guidance on Transparency in the Family Courts, Re P [2013] EWHC 4037 (Fam) (13 December 2013) and the Practice Direction about committal hearings is that trying to keep the identity of a child who has been the subject of care proceedings confidential may ultimately be very difficult.

The local authority in Re J, of course, ran inadvertently headlong into the Streisand Effect. In trying to take down some material from YouTube and some campaigning websites that relatively small numbers of the general population would have seen, that material went onto the front page of the Daily Mail and was seen by exponentially more people. The child's name was kept confidential, but the more people who saw the material, the greater the chance that one of them would know who the parents and child were.

These are the four key things to be derived from the above decisions / guidance.

(1) It is not sufficient that a story be inaccurate, lurid or tendentious to prevent its publication - providing that the story does not identify directly or indirectly the child who was the subject of proceedings, it is likely to be difficult to obtain a Reporting Restriction Order (RRO).

(2) From February 2014, anonymised judgments in most care cases decided by circuit judges or above will be published and available online, and the protective element is that the child's identity will usually be kept anonymous by the rubric  (save in exceptional cases where the judge decides that anonymity is not required, for example as happened with the Webster family).  RROs and deprivation of liberty cases (ie secures and committals) will be in the category of judgments that will ordinarily be published.

(3) The Court is not terribly concerned with shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted - for example in Re P, given that the mother's maiden name was already in the public domain there was no value in having this particular aspect prohibited within the RRO.

(4) Committal hearings for contempt are generally to be held in open court (meaning that anyone can attend and report on them) and where it is to be heard in private, it is mandatory if contempt is found for the court to state in public:
(a) the name of that person;

(b) in general terms the nature of the contempt of court in respect of which the committal order [committal order for this purpose includes a suspended committal order] is being made; and

(c) the punishment being imposed.
Thus, if a parent, or relative makes public the identity of the anonymised parents or the child in an anonymised judgment, the only two options for a local authority wishing to protect the privacy of the child are:

(1) apply for a RRO (unlikely to be given, save for ‘not directly or indirectly identifying the child who was the subject of court proceedings');

(2) apply for committal of the parent for breach of the rubric, or any such RRO.
The elephant is starting to come out from behind the curtains and take shape.
If the local authority are driven, by breaches of the rubric or RRO, to contemplate a committal for contempt allegation, a little pondering will show the potential Streisand Effect of such an application.

(1) The application for committal is likely to be heard in open court, and at the very least, a judgment published identifying the person's name and the general nature of the breach.

(2) It is likely, in the current and foreseeable climate, to be newsworthy that a parent is sent to prison - or that a local authority attempts to send a parent to prison - for ‘speaking out about the family Courts'.

(3) Those newspaper reports can freely name the parent, which of course directly identifies the child who was the subject of proceedings.

(4) In attempting to preserve the child's anonymity and privacy, the committal application has the opposite effect of bringing the child further into the spotlight and media glare.

(5) It is likely that the longer the sentence that is handed out, the more newsworthy the case becomes.
Leaving the protection of the child's identity and privacy in the hands of a largely hollow threat. A parent breaching the court's decision that the child should not be identified will only face consequences if the local authority apply for committal, and the committal application has the very real risk that the publicity about the child will grow exponentially. In real terms, will an application for committal for leaking the child's name ever have any value in stopping the wider circulation of it?

Of course, newspapers will not publish a parent's account and name the child or the parents UNTIL that information is in the public domain (just as newspapers did not breach the super-injunctions about the Welsh footballer, but were very swift to report the name once it had been exposed under Parliamentary privilege).

In the modern era, however, a parent does not need a newspaper willing to breach the rubric to disseminate their message. Any person with a computer, or even a library card, can start a blog, or a Facebook page or a Twitter account. There are campaigning websites, some situated overseas, who may be willing to share the parents' story. Any reader of the story has their own ability to forward it, to retweet it, to favourite it, to increase the circulation of it.

Once the story is out there, it isn't difficult for the press to run a mainstream account, not identifying the name of the child, but using the details of the case that they are given by a parent and can read in the anonymised judgment. From there, any sufficiently interested reader of the newspaper article will fairly swiftly be able to find the online accounts that do not conceal the identity of the child.

Even that, troubling as it might be, is better than the possible consequence for the child and the local authority of a committal application, which will permit the press to name the person who was the subject of it and to report on the local authority ‘Attempting to gag' the parent and send them to prison. That turns the identification of the child from ‘anyone who puts in an effort can find it out' to ‘anyone who reads a newspaper or watches the One Show will see it'.

An important consideration for any local authority contemplating a committal application against that backdrop becomes not merely 'Can we prove the breach' but has to include  'Is this application going to be counter-productive for the child?'

The views expressed by contributing authors are not necessarily those of Family Law or Jordan Publishing and should not be considered as legal advice.

Nehushtan to ‘Post:’ IAF ready for threats, including Iran

May 17, 2012 05:26

Former commander of IAF comes out strongly against public discussion regarding strike on Iran; says Israel's air superiority in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Sinai threatened by proliferation of surface-to-air missile systems.

2 minute read.

The Israel Air Force is prepared for the many missions and threats it faces in the Middle East, including a possible operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities, outgoing OC Air Force Maj.-Gen. Ido Nehushtan has told The Jerusalem Post.

The exclusive interview, which will appear in Friday’s Magazine, was conducted with Nehushtan – who has led the IAF for the past four years – just days before he handed over command to Maj.- Gen. Amir Eshel.

“I understand the missions that stand before the IAF, and we have done everything we can during this period to create capabilities so we can fulfill these missions,” he said in response to a question of whether the air force was capable of dealing with the Iranian threat. “In general, the IAF is prepared for all of these missions.”

Nehushtan came out strongly during the interview against the ongoing public discussion regarding a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying it lacked “basic facts.”

The Israeli media has been flooded with interviews and reports in recent months regarding a possible strike.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz, for example, said in a series of interviews published on Independence Day that Israel had prepared a viable military option to attack the Islamic Republic.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has spoken many times about the need for the right timing for such a strike, while former Mossad chief Meir Dagan and former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Yuval Diskin have warned of the consequences of such an operation.

“I think that in this specific issue [Iran] we should not talk,” Nehushtan said. “I say this with all of the responsibility it entails. I think that a public discourse on this issue is lacking the basic facts needed to hold it and I think that it should not be held in this way.”

As an example, he brought Israel’s bombing of the Osirak reactor in Iraq in 1981.

“The Iraqi thing was known for years before the reactor was attacked. It was known but it did not turn into a public discussion and that should be the case here as well,” he said.

During the interview, Nehushtan warned that Israel’s air superiority was increasingly undermined by the proliferation of sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems throughout the region – in Syria, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula.

“The IAF needs to be ready to fly in places where there is a threat to its superiority,” he said “This is the case already now and therefore when we approach a front like Lebanon or Gaza we will first look at the intelligence, then study the threats and then think about the best way to carry out our missions.”

The Searchers still on ‘needles and pins’

July 30, 2016 21:24

Seminal British Invasion mates of The Beatles bring their chiming guitars to Israel.

4 minute read.

The Searchers

FIVE DECADES on, British pop band The Searchers are still performing to enthusiastic audiences around the world.. (photo credit:PAUL THOMPSON)

The Searchers could have been as big as The Beatles – if they had been more talented, better looking and had written their own songs.

But the Liverpool mates of the Fab Four didn’t fare too badly themselves in the British Invasion pack, with a string of ‘60s hits like “Needles and Pins” and “When You Walk In The Room” that introduced a jangly, chiming guitar sound that has endured down through the decades.

Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page.

Most music aficionados credit The Byrds and its leader Roger (Jim) McGuinn for introducing the 12-string electric guitar to rock & roll, but they may have gotten the idea from The Searchers, according to guitarist and founding member John McNally.

“That 12-string sound on ‘Needles and Pins’ was a total mistake, and it wasn’t even done with 12-string guitars,” chuckled an affable McNally during a recent phone call from his home in Liverpool.

“We used two regular six-string guitars playing the same riff and added a little echo and reverb, and suddenly it sounded like a 12-string.

We thought it sounded great and decided to leave it like that, and everyone thought we were using 12-strings. To recreate the sound on the road, we actually had to go out and buy 12-string guitars.”

With their accidental distinctive sound in place, the band – McNally and Mike Pender on guitar, Frank Allen on bass and Chris Curtis on drums – joined the hordes of British bands exploiting the musical revolution led by The Beatles. Most of the groups – including Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Hollies – had spent years evolving from the British country/roots hybrid skiffle into full-fledged pop bands, and many of them were based in Liverpool, which according to McNally was not coincidental.

“We were fortunate to have a great seaport, and our family members were seamen in the merchant navy,” said the 74-year-old McNally.

“So they would bring all this great music back with them from America – early Motown, blues and country and western like Hank Williams.

All the young lads picked up on that and the skiffle craze developed in the mid-’50s. The Liverpool port was instrumental in introducing this new music to all of us.”

The same thing happened when Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley started producing the seminal version of electric rock & roll, and soon the Liverpool contingent was trading in their acoustic guitars and washboards for electric guitars and drum kits. Soon, they were all vying for stages in the limited Liverpool nightlife – including the John Lennon/ Paul McCartney-led combo that was beginning to make waves.

“We were all friends and there was this great camaraderie between all of the bands, including The Beatles,” said McNally. “The Searchers and The Beatles had this healthy competition – who was going to do the best, get the first record contract, have the first hit single.

“We used to go to lunchtime sessions at the Cavern club to see each other, and to the Andora club around the corner. It was a great time.”

So were the first few years after The Searchers broke big in the US, a phenomena that spawned an endless cycle of touring, recording and screaming adulation.

“As young, naïve lads from Liverpool, we weren’t prepared for that at all,” said McNally. “We had no idea what was going on, we were just told what to do all the time, from going to the studio and churning out records to being on the road constantly. They used to work us very hard, because like all things, there was a generational factor at work – the life cycle of pop bands in those days was very short and nobody knew how long it was going to last.”

Unlike The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, The Searchers were unable to evolve from their guitar pop roots and by the mind-expanding psychedelic onslaught of the late 1960s, they fell by the wayside.

However, the punk and new wave revolution of the late 1970s embraced their simplicity and straightforward pop. Latter-day rockers like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen regularly covered “Needles and Pins” and “When You Walk into the Room” and the band enjoyed a short resurrection before reverting to a legacy act that has continued to perform ever since.

The current version of The Searchers features McNally and Allen and will be performing on August 19 at the Haifa Auditorium and August 20 at the Mann Auditorium in Haifa.

According to McNally, the band played twice previously in Israel – in 1965 and 1969, but he’s hazy on the details. In fact, he can’t understand how the years have melted together.

“Frank and I have been playing together for 52 years – it’s gone by so quickly. But we’ve been very lucky to be able to continue to do it and have an audience that wants to see us.”

Defense Ministry backs down from Iran deal comparison to Nazi era Munich agreement

August 8, 2016 21:23

Ministry blames media for "misunderstanding" earlier statement, denied it was comparing Iran deal to Munich pact.

2 minute read.

The Defense Ministry issued a clarification on Monday to a statement released on Friday that slammed the the Iran nuclear deal and made reference to the failed 1938 Munich pact with Nazi Germany.

In its clarification statement, the Ministry blamed “the media” of attributing a “mistaken significance” to last week’s statement, saying, “We wish to clarify that the State of Israel and Israeli defense establishment will continue to work in close and full cooperation with the US, out of a deep appreciation and mutual respect.”

Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page.

Israel, it added, remains “deeply concerned that even after the nuclear deal with Iran, the Iranian leadership continues to declare that its central goal is the destruction of the State of Israel, and continues to threaten the existence in words and deeds.”

The Ministry listed recent Iranian actions, like fast-tracking its ballistic missile program, which produces projectiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons, holding official military parades with missiles that have the words “erase Israel” written on them, and holding Holocaust denial cartoon competitions.

It also accused Tehran of “continuously promoting terrorism against Jewish and Israeli targets around the world, directly and through Iran’s proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah.”

“As a result, even if Iran keeps to the nuclear agreement, its open and official policy of striving to destroy Israel robs it [Iran] of its legitimacy in the international community,” the statement said.

Nevertheless, the Defense Ministry said, since the agreement was signed, a “long list of political and economic leaders from around the world are conducting business in Tehran, when a significant portion of the billions of dollars earned by Iran is invested in military force-building and promoting an illegal ballistic missile program.”

Differences of opinion between Israel and the US does not “in any way” harm “our deep appreciation to the US and to the US President for their enormous contribution to Israel’s national security, and to the great importance with which we view the strong alliance between the two states,” the Ministry said. It denied that Friday’s statement was aimed at comparing the Iran agreement to the Munich pact. “We apologize if it was interpreted differently,” the Ministry said.

On Friday, the Defense Ministry released a highly unusual and strongly worded statement following remarks by President Obama, who said Israel recognized that Iran was upholding the Iran nuclear deal .

“The Israeli defense establishment believes that agreements have value only if they are based on an existing reality, and that they have no value if the facts on the ground are completely the opposite of [the concepts] on which an agreement is based on,” the ministry said.

“The Munich agreement did not prevent the Second World War and the Holocaust, precisely because their basic assumption, that Nazi Germany could be a partner to any kind of agreement, was wrong, and because the leaders of the world at that time ignored the explicit statements by Hitler and the rest of the leaders of Nazi Germany,” the ministry added.

Peace is not a prerequisite to Israel's survival

May 23, 2011 13:26

The claim made by Israeli officials that the survival of the Jewish state depends on peace is untrue as it is dangerous. It belies the past 63 years of Israel’s existence and effectively eliminates Israel’s leverage in negotiations with the Palestinians.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is undoubtedly agonizing right now over what to say to Congress on Tuesday to mitigate the damage caused by US President Barack Obama’s bombshell last week: the unprecedented demand that Israel withdraw to the 1967 lines without getting an end to the conflict in exchange, without such key issues as the refugees or Jerusalem even being addressed. Not even Europe or the Arab League ever went that far.

Obama's words will be used as weapons

Can I pick two?

I'd love to go on another safari - this time to Tanzania.

But most safari places wont allow children until they are at least 10 so I think that one wont be happening for quite a while.

I'd love to go to the Four Seasons Golden Triangle - its supposed to be amazing. We were going to go there this year for my birthday if I wasn't pregnant but maybe we can go when the baby is old enough?

Johnson Named International Seed Federation President

Johnson Named International Seed Federation President

Tim Johnson of Lafayette, Ind., to take lead of the International Seed Federation.

During the International Seed Federation's World Seed Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tim Johnson of Lafayette, Ind., was elected president.

ISF facilitates the international movement of seed, related know-how and technology; mobilizes and represents the global seed industry; informs its members and promotes the interests and image of the seed industry.

In his acceptance speech, Johnson said he was looking forward to working with the ISFI staff, Executive Committee and members.

Johnson told Congress participants that he will use the three guiding principles that drive IFSI during his two-year tenure as president:  find the win-win, make money and have fun.

After being elected International Seed Federation president, Tim Johnson (left) thanks Bernard Le Buanec (right), past ISF Secretary General and Honorary Life Member, for his work and leadership.

"Global movement of seed impacts us all and we have to work hard to make sure seed gets to farmers around the world," Johnson said. "To do this, we need good consistent intellectual property laws to support innovation.

"This will only allow us to continue innovating, bringing new products to the marketplace — helping to provide food, feed, fiber and fuel that we all depend on," Johnson said.

"It's an honor and opportunity to have a representative from the U.S. seed industry taking such an important leadership role to work on behalf of the global seed industry," said Andy LaVigne, American Seed Trade Association president and chief executive officer. "Tim does outstanding work and I'm confident that he'll move the global seed industry forward, while keeping all interests in mind."

Johnson, IFSI SGI Division president, has been an active member of ISF, participating in several committees and most recently serving as first and second vice chairs, each two year terms. At the national level, he has served as chairman of ASTA's Corn and Sorghum Seed Division, ASTA Board of Directors liaison to ISF and been active on numerous committees. Additionally, Johnson has served on the Board of Directors for the American Seed Research Foundation and U.S. Grains Council.

Johnson began his work in the seed industry in 1976 as an hourly employee with AgriPro Biosciences, Inc. He joined IFSI in 1993 where he started as vice president of marketing. IFSI is a leading research, product development, licensing and production company serving the seed industry.

Logistics Park Intermodal Facility Now Open in Edgerton

Logistics Park Intermodal Facility Now Open in Edgerton

Kansas City area development expected to create 7,400 local jobs; 13,000 jobs across the state.

Logistics Park Kansas City Intermodal Facility introduced the BNSF Railway's newest intermodal facility in a ceremony in Edgerton, Kansas Oct. 17.

The distribution and warehouse development is expected to help create 7,400 jobs in the immediate area of the development and a total of 13,000 jobs in Kansas when it is fully built-out.

The Logistics Park facility encompasses 433 acres and will have an initial lift capacity of 500,000 truck containers and trailers with the ability to expand to 1.5 million units.

"BNSF greatly appreciates the support of all of the government and business leaders who worked with us to make this day possible. That support is an important part of the reason why Kansas City has developed into one of the most strategic transportation hubs in the nation," said Matthew K. Rose, BNSF Railway chairman and chief executive officer. "BNSF's significant investment in this new facility will not only make this one of the most efficient intermodal facilities in the country, it will also help enhance the Kansas City region's position in the global supply chain by offering shippers more capacity and service options."

Demand for freight rail transportation in the Kansas City region has been growing at a fast pace. The Logistics Park facility will nearly double BNSF's lift capacity in the market. It encompasses 433 acres and will have an initial lift capacity of 500,000 truck containers and trailers with the ability to expand to 1.5 million units.

A big asset for business in the region

"The intermodal facility is a tremendous asset for businesses in this region," Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George said. "This facility will not only create thousands of good jobs directly, it will help give Kansas businesses a competitive advantage in shipping their products to market quickly. That will support additional economic growth and job creation in our state."

"We are uniquely situated in Kansas to serve as an important crossroads for goods traveling across the country by highway and rail," said Kansas Transportation Secretary Mike King. "When an economic opportunity like the intermodal facility emerges, and it can be seized by providing the appropriate infrastructure, I want our state's transportation agencies to be in a position to capitalize on that opportunity. For a state investment of $22 million in construction costs for the recently opened I-35 Interchange near the BNSF facility, there will be a significant economic impact."

The LPKC facility has six 8,000-foot tracks for loading and unloading Intermodal trains, more than 1,800 parking spaces and will have 4,300 container stacking spots at full build-out. It is equipped with five wide-span, electric, rail-mounted gantry cranes, which produce zero emissions on site and will significantly reduce the number of hostler trucks needed to move containers within the facility.

LPKC also features an automated gate system for trucks as they enter and exit the intermodal facility, a biometric driver identification system and digital cameras to record images of containers, chassis and tractors. These elements will increase security, while improving throughput and reducing truck idling and emissions.

The business park has 500,000 square feet of speculative distribution building space available for warehouse and distribution centers. Visit the LPKC website for more information about the LPKC Intermodal Facility and the LPKC business park. More information about BNSF is available at the BNSF website.

Thursday's Links to Writing & Marketing Blog Posts

By: Alex Limberg

You want to pull your reader out of his everyday life and draw him into your fantastic world? Want to wow her with things she would have never imagined possible?

Then you need to introduce magic into your stories!

Here are a couple of hints on how to create a special experience with magic:

Clearly Set the Rules Upfront

First things first: To make your readers go along with your action and feel suspense, you have to set the rules of what magic can do in your world and, more importantly, what it can’t do.

Imagine if your wizard would just have to snap his finger and could achieve anything he wanted. The story would have no serious obstacle anymore and it would become boring quickly. To prevent that, you have to define the limits for your magically skilled characters and for their spells.

Maybe a spell only works for objects your magician touches. Maybe its effect only lasts for three minutes, maybe it doesn’t work in windy places. If at a later point you don’t want your magician to use their skill in a certain situation, because your plot has other plans, you then have a very plausible deniability.

If possible, make it clear what magic can and cannot do early on in your story. Then your reader will not feel tricked by you, the author, and by a sudden “deus ex machina.” And when a powerful spell lets the magician take off into the air to save himself, your reader will willingly accept it. After all, the magician already used his skill in scene one to get a book from the high shelf.

Because I know keeping a story realistic and engaging at the same time is a delicate tight rope act, you can download my free e-book about 44 Key Questions to test your story. It will help you make every single part of your fantasy tale tight and unforgettable.

Magic Is Tied to the Magician

You’re not silly Ron

Ron Pike, Coffs Harbour, NSW writes to the Editor of The Australian
I MUST be a bit silly because I can't fathom all this green stuff. We stop building dams and power stations and make water and electricity more expensive. We shut down the sustainable logging industry and import more timber. We truncate our irrigated agriculture and import more food. Now it seems we must pay our fishers to stop fishing and import most of our fish. This all results in a loss of productive taxpaying jobs that are replaced with unproductive taxpayer-funded jobs. Then we import more people to share in our diminished productive capacity to produce the staples of life. I think I will have to go back to one of these progressive schools and learn about this green stuff.
Going to a progressive school wont help you Ron as you have to suspend all belief in human development and to place humans down the evolutionary tree below all endangered species. You sound to pragmatic to ever graduate from such an establishment.
