Pop's unlikely star magnet
Foy Vance is showing me the tattoo on his left forearm. It's a line from his song Guiding Light "When I need to get home, you're the light that guides me" translated into Gaelic and written in Ed Sheeran's handwriting. Sheeran has the same thing on his arm, in Vance's handwriting. It must be serious then.
"It's such a bromance, isn't it? I do dote on the wee fella," says the 41 year old, 16 years Sheeran's senior. It progressed to writing together (Tenerife Sea and Afire Love on Sheeran's x album) and playing together in venues as momentous as Madison Square Garden and Wembley Stadium.
Now they're taking things up another notch. Sheeran has signed his friend to his nascent Gingerbread Man record label, a means for this energetic music fan to give less well known musicians artistic freedom and a bigger platform. It means Vance's third album, The Wild Swan, arrives next month with a giant ginger stamp of approval.
"Ed has been a blessing, because he didn't want me to feel any pressure. He wanted me to go and make whatever record I felt I wanted to make, and he would deal with the outcome," Vance tells me. Sir Elton John has a credit as The Wild Swan's executive producer and will take Vance around on his tour of more giant venues this summer.
"He's been a supporter more than anything. He's been involved since the beginning, listening. I'm sending stuff to him all the time. He's a very informative guy, quite analytical about necklace Hermes fake it. He knows music inside out."
These superstar thumbs ups should mean that this time Vance gets the attention he deserves. He's risen to the occasion with new songs that see his low, gruff voice sounding mightier than ever. The influence of his countryman Van Morrison is obvious on the nostalgic ballad Bangor Town, he's got some New Orleans swing on Upbeat Feelgood and he does beautiful traditional folk on the title track, inspired by W B Yeats's poem The Wild Swans at Coole.
He also sounds a little like Sheeran on the steady acoustic pulse of She Burns but actually they don't seem to have a great deal in common. Vance lives in the small Highland town of Aberfeldy in Scotland, where he is the primary carer of his teenage daughter. Before she started secondary school he would take her on tour, where he educated her in his own idiosyncratic way. "She would collect the merch, count the T shirts in and out, which is much better than, 'If Peter has two apples and Paul has five'"
He lived in south London for seven years but it wasn't for him. "As much as it is the greatest city in the world that's not up for debate to live in London I was having to gig every hole in the wall to keep the dream alive. It was so expensive. I couldn't make plans. I found it really hard to be in London and think clearly. You need time and you need silence."
He was invited to play a gig in an art gallery in Aberfeldy, and realised where he really wanted to be. "It genuinely was like moving from the humdrum of the music industry to the haunts of the ancient bards. There are many poets who came through those lands and wrote because they were inspired, and it takes you two minutes to see why."
I'm tickled by the idea of this middle aged countryside enthusiast with a twirly moustache and a hole in his cap getting drunk in New York with Beyonc and Jay Z ("they were just lovely, down to earth folks. I kept calling him Jay Zed"), going to parties at the Los Angeles home of Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad and writing a new song, Coco, about Courtney Cox's daughter.
It's easy to see why they all like him. With twinkling eyes, a lilting voice and a pencil permanently behind his ear which he uses to write my book recommendation for him on the back of a coaster he seems like a man who could tell stories all night and have plenty left over for breakfast. He sinks three pints of beer during our afternoon conversation and is keen for me to turn the dictaphone off and go and play pool with Hermes Kelly handbag imitation him.
Sheeran has said: "Every time I see him play I get annoyed that more people handbag Hermes replica don't know about him." But I get the impression that Vance isn't that bothered about being known. He'll play to Sheeran's massive crowds and drink with the celebs in the golden circle but leave again when it suits him. "Ed's a lot younger than me and he's happy to work his balls off touring the world for seven years straight. I've got a kid, I'm not interested in that. What I have is a desire to live. I want to work a couple of months and then go home, fix the shed and cut the grass."
We talk about the increased expectations for commercial success for his music, now that he has the backing of Sheeran the record label boss as well as Sheeran the friend. He's not expecting too much. "I see a lot of people who have more of a desire for the world fame than they do for Hermes handbag replica the music, and something is majorly lost in that process," he says. "So I guess what I'm saying is, if that was to come and let's face it, you and I both know that is not gonna happen but if it was, it would be on the terms of what it is. There shouldn't be any compromise. If this record doesn't do well I still know I did right by it."
By that rationale, there's nothing at all riding on this, his best opportunity to do well. Foy Vance has succeeded already.

Metro Vancouver's rush hour congestion rated worst in Canada
Vancouver remains the most congested city in imitation Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet three colors Canada according to the fifth annual TomTom traffic index, but at least the congestion rate didn't get worse.
TomTom sells GPS systems, which tell you how to drive to your destination. The company also has a subscription service with real time traffic information so you can avoid the traffic jams and, presumably, get where you're going faster.
Using information from those devices, which owners contribute anonymously, TomTom compares trips taken in the morning and evening peak hours to van cleef clover bracelet gold replica trips made when traffic is free flowing like in the middle of the night on weekdays.
Based on that comparison, travel in the peak period in Vancouver takes 35 per cent more time, the same as it was in 2013.
Toronto was next at 31 per cent, with Ottawa third at 28 per cent and Montreal just a tick back at 27 per cent.
The least congested city of the seven surveyed in Canada was Calgary, with a 22 per cent congestion level.
But curiously, the rates in both Calgary and Vancouver stayed the same in both 2014 and 2013.
That Van Cleef & Arpels alhmbra bracelet white gold designed equal rate isn't surprising for Calgary considering the economy there is struggling because of the decline in oil prices. But the economy is stable in Vancouver and more than 27,000 more vehicles were licensed in 2014 than in 2013, according to ICBC data.
Motorhomes were the only category of licensed vehicles that decreased in Metro Vancouver (from 14,000 in 2013 to 13,000 in 2014).
The result was that 1,683,200 vehicles were licensed in 2014 compared to 1,655,680 in 2013 an increase of 27,520 vehicles.
TomTom senior traffic expert Nick Cohn conceded Vancouver's congestion plateau was a good thing.
"It's definitely positive news given all the growth and economic activity in Vancouver," said Cohn.
He also admitted there are limitations to the data because it doesn't include people who use other GPS systems, take public transit, ride a bike or walk.
"One of the reasons we publish this index is we hope that drivers will think about their trip a little bit more and make use of alternatives," said Cohn.
Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute pointed out that one of those options would be the real time traffic updates offered for a fee by TomTom, which also gets a lot of publicity for publishing the index.
Litman doesn't dispute the data in the index, but pointed out it doesn't take into account the congestion avoided by people moving closer to where they work or choosing some alternative to driving.
The explanation for that, said Litman, is something he calls "convenience."
Litman also said the TomTom index doesn't reflect that during free flowing periods many people are speeding. He questions whether slowing down to the speed limit really qualifies as "congestion."
Litman also said one of the best ways to deal with congestion is road pricing or tolls but people dislike tolls.
"It demonstrates to me that even though everybody complains about congestion, they don't perceive the cost to be so big they actually want to change the system," he said.
He pointed to Stockholm, which put tolls on its bridges for a trial period that was initially very controversial. After about six months, the tolls were approved in a referendum.
That situation provides timely perspective on the heated opposition generated in Metro by a proposed 0.5 per cent increase in provincial sales tax to pay for transit and transportation in the region.

mundial del asesinato
Por Rafael Romo y Nick Thompson, CNN
(CNN) Es de noche cuando un grupo de soldados enmascarados se dirigen en silencio hacia la primera lnea de un tiroteo mortal entre fuerzas de seguridad y hombres armados no identificados en una zona con poca luz en Honduras.
Pero los soldados van demasiado tarde para evitar la espantosa escena que les espera. Uno de los suyos est en el suelo, herido de gravedad. Uno de los atacantes muri, y otros tres han sido asesinados.
ni siquiera dijeron una palabra. Solo sacaron sus armas y comenzaron a disparar contra nuestros soldados dijo el comandante Carlos Rolando Discua, sobre la escena que se ha hecho familiar en la segunda ciudad ms grande de Honduras.
Discua supervisa una unidad de soldados, a menudo enmascarados para proteger sus identidades, que patrullan las calles de San Pedro Sula, conocida como la mundial del asesinato segundo ao consecutivo, esta ciudad del noroeste de Honduras encabeza la lista de las 50 localidades ms violentas del mundo, con una tasa de 169 homicidios intencionales por cada 100.000 habitantes, un promedio de ms de tres personas asesinadas cada da.
El informe, elaborado por el Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pblica, Justicia y Paz, con sede en Mxico, compara las estadsticas de homicidios dolosos en todo el mundo en 2012. El informe no incluye las ciudades de Meido Oriente.
El puerto turstico de Acapulco, ubicado al sur de Mxico, ocupa el segundo lugar en la lista del grupo, seguido de la capital van cleef clover bracelet gold replica venezolana, Caracas.
El desafo de San Pedro Sula, dicen los expertos, es que la ofensiva de Mxico contra los crteles de la droga y la deportacin activa de criminales a Estados Unidos estn empujando el problema hacia el sur.
Parte de este elemento criminal ha terminado en Honduras, donde, al igual que los pases de Amrica Central, la polica tiene pocos recursos para combatirla.
Los residentes de la ciudad dicen que la etiqueta de "capital mundial del asesinato" es inmerecida, y que est perjudicando a las empresas locales.
Solo hay tres morgues en Honduras, y uno de ellas se encuentra en San Pedro Sula. Los residentes dicen que las personas que son asesinadas en otro lugar y luego son llevadas a la morgue de la ciudad hacen ms grandes las estadsticas del lugar.
los crmenes que suceden en el norte de Honduras est registrado como si ocurrieran aqu, as que lo que los empresarios imitation Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet three colors estn haciendo un recuento exacto para determinar dnde ocurren las muertes violentas por el crimen para que la informacin sea veraz dijo Discua a CNN.
La Universidad de Honduras inform que solo las personas asesinadas en San Pedro Sula fueron incluidas en el informe del grupo y que, de hecho, la tasa de homicidios en la ciudad real es an mayor.
Los autores del informe defendieron su investigacin en el sitio web del grupo: es la clasificacin la que daa la imagen de la ciudad, sino la violencia y la incapacidad del gobierno para contenerla Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet diamond replicas y reducirla. Ocultar los problemas nunca los resolver est lejos de ser el nico pas de la regin con un problema de asesinato. Las 10 primeras ciudades y 39 de 50, en general ms violentas de la lista estn en Latinoamrica.
Las autoridades han puesto en marcha la Operacin Relmpago en San Pedro Sula, un movimiento que pretende combatir la violencia con la polica y los soldados, y algunos residentes creen que la presencia de seguridad reforzada est funcionando.
ms seguridad ahora dijo Nicolle Valladares. eso nos da tranquilidad desgracia, al menos hasta ahora, las medidas parecen haber tenido poco impacto en la tasa de homicidios.

Out in force on the mean streets

Reporter Andrew Laxon and photographer Greg Bowker follow a team of police finding alternative ways to curb crime in South Auckland's Otara triangle
Wednesday afternoon in Otara. At a small block of shops in a suburban back street, a couple of men haul cases of beer out of a car and into a liquor store crammed with wall to wall beer, spirits and pre mixes.
Inside Sergeant Jonathan Milne tackles store owner Jack Kalkat about selling alcohol the week before to two young men on a 24 hour drinking spree. Milne saw them leave the shop, stagger drunkenly down the street past school children and rip off a street sign.
Kalkat insists it can't have been his staff. Maybe the boys got the alcohol somewhere else, he suggests.
No, says Milne firmly, they bought it here. He mentions the importance of breaches when the store's liquor licence comes up for review, chats briefly with the staff and leaves.
So why is the head of the local neighbourhood policing team, who describes his patch as "probably the toughest area of policing in New Zealand", putting so much effort into a bottle store? Because, says Milne, it's their job to hermes gold bracelet replica attack the causes of crime and both police and the community are sick of the damage the Everitt Rd liquor store causes.
"We would see a mum pushing a pram we've got photos of them going in and buying boxes during the day and going out."
One Thursday night he watched a van unload boxes of bourbon and cola, fake hermes H bracelet black filling the store to the ceiling.
"I remember being pretty passionate and saying, 'You guys are disgraceful. You're a negative influence on this area'."Related ContentThin blue line gets thicker in toughest crime areas Garth George: Brighter future for law and order Truant's mum says hermes bracelet imitation ministry action 'sucks'
Kalkat told the Weekend Herald his staff did their best to stop breaches, including underage drinking. "But sometimes [the kids] send someone else in. You can't stop that."
Milne doesn't agree. He says his team found a shed about 100m away from the store with 14 teenagers playing truant and drinking inside.
They recovered some bottles of pre mixed spirits in a school bag and tracked down the boy who stole them but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
"What our staff saw was another 20 empty boxes in that shed. So this was a bigger picture we needed to [look at] and it all came from that liquor store."
Milne is a stocky, ginger haired 46 year old with a passion for his job. A former amateur boxer, he grew up in the gyms of Mangere in the era of Jimmy "Thunder" Peau and once ran an out of town adventure programme for South Auckland kids.
He spent four years as a frontline sergeant in Otara and ran youth and community services in the suburb. His wife is part Maori but he admits that doesn't give him much street cred in an overwhelmingly Pacific area, compared with his Samoan colleagues Junior Te'o, Silao Nansen and Papa Talosaga (who has his own show on Samoan radio).
Milne and his team of six constables work in the so called Otara triangle, which lies south of the shopping centre, bounded by the Southern Motorway, East Tamaki Rd and Preston Rd.
To the outsider, it looks like hermes mens bracelet replica an ordinary collection of single and double storey state houses from the 1960s, with more than the usual number of schools, churches and bottle stores. A line of pylons runs through the middle alongside Bairds Rd, Otara's main drag.

Pilots call replica Cartier love white gold ring for airport runway safety system

Primitivism in Modern Art and Freud
Modern paintings sometimes use abstraction to evade the rules of physical perception and depict what cannot ordinarily be seen. Time, movement, emotion and sound are such phenomena, more accessible to abstract and Surrealist painting than to other static visual arts.
Franz Kline developed a black and white style in which brush strokes "expand as entities in themselves" from a suggestion of Hermes Collier de Chien Bracelet replica Willem de Kooning that he works with an optical projector for source material. In Chief, a painting now at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, he methodically abstracted the central mass and dynamic arcs of the profile of a locomotive in close up with expansive brushstrokes that create the illusion of impulsive, gestural movements.
Modern wall art like Kline and Jackson Pollock calls attention to the process of artistic creation vividly. In his book What Painting Is, James Elkins writes, "A painter knows what to do by the tug of the brush as it pulls through a mixture of oils, and by the look of colored slurries on the palette."
Modern paintings date from the 1860s to the fake hermes H bracelet Black gold 1970s, and early intellectual influences in modern art have survived in different forms over generations of experimentation with abstraction and, ultimately, "pure" art. Primitivism, a driving interest of Sigmund Freud work, is one of those early influences. In his own office, African wall art with abstract and primitive elements dominated the room.
The father of modern psychology followed Darwin lead in search of underlying principles of behavior that could scientifically explain the life of the mind. Together with the work of anthropologists like Claud Levi Strauss, Freudian psychology established the primitive as an authentic subject for fundamental science.
This fundamental science would one day give rise to evolutionary theories of cognition so detailed they explain the minutiae of biases to which scientists themselves are prone, just as Freud relied on self analysis (in the mix up of the names of two Renaissance painters) to develop the concept now known as a "Freudian slip."
To develop a theory Collier de Chien hermes bracelet copy of human behavior, Freud analyzed ancient myths and tribal archetypes in search of abstract, governing forms of imaginative experience. Freud also argued, in Civilization and its Discontents, that a life unlike that of our primordial ancestors is in some ways biologically unnatural, and that modernity is mostly defined by a psychological struggle against deeply rooted human instincts.
Expressionist painters and other modernists of the early 20th century shared both this interest in tribal or primitive art and interest in remote peoples with comparatively primitive access to technology as interlocutors of the modern subject. In the case of Paul Gauguin, a friend of Van Gogh an opportunity to live and work in Martinique led to fascinating experiments in style influenced by Cezanne, Japanese prints and the lives of people he met in the tropics.
Primitivism appealed on many levels to Gauguin. It provided a means to resist bourgeois material culture, revise the meanings of its symbols, and transcend the art world repressed access to decadence. Mystical syncretism helped create a non exclusionary visual language for expressionists in an era that produced modern paintings as Gauguin "Where do we come from?"What are we? Where are we going?
At once tribal and universalist in its stylized treatment of archetypal subjects for the imagination, the art Freud favored anticipated much modern wall art in the use of hedonist themes and hermes H bracelet replica surrealist forms. Picasso drew inspiration from primitivism in his choice of subjects for cubist art as well. But modern painters would gradually leave behind the figurative and develop systems of self reflecting organization that allow a painting use of interior space to be its own subject, instead of depicting an external subject.
Here, the fundamental sciences of matter are sometimes invoked to draw attention to the process of visual perception and the nature of the visually real. Modern paintings sometimes have a jewel like faceted effect realizing what Matisse referred to as a "symphonic structure" that transcends the image. In his own work, Matisse used simple lines and reductionist depictions of objects, sometimes flattened into a single plane, to exploit the interior dynamics of a canvas.
The hedonist and essentialist elements of primitivism survived in visually stunning departures from realism as Marcel Duchamp Nude Descending a Staircase. The imaginative syncretism that gives primitive art its magical connotations found expression in surrealist paintings as Harlequin Carnival and the work of Salvador Dali, as well. But ultimately, "pure" art would leave behind discernible subjects of this nature, in favor of work as Piet Mondian Composition with Red, Yellow, Blue and Black, a geometric symphony of primary colors. Modern wall art often shares this minimalist use of color, line, volume and shape to create beauty that is not a representation of anything outside itself.

or how to feel like a jerk in Mombasa
This piece originally appeared on TomDispatch.
The fluorescent circus of Election 2016 that spectacle of yellow comb overs, and orange skin, and predatory pussy grabbing, and last minute FBI interventions, and blinking memes hewn by an underground army of self important internet trolls has finally come to its unnatural end. I had looked forward to this moment, only to find us all instantly embroiled in a new crisis. And unfortunately, it's easy to foretell what, or rather who, will move into the bright lights of our collective gaze now: we're going to (continue to) focus on. . . well, ourselves.
We are obviously not, for instance, going to redeploy our energies toward examining the embarrassing war that we're still waging in Afghanistan, now in its 16th year something that went practically unmentioned during election season, even as fighting heated up there. (You can be sure that Afghans have a somewhat different perspective on the newsworthiness of that war.) We are also not going to spend our time searching for the names of people like Momina Bibi, whom we've. . oops . . . inadvertently annihilated while carrying out our nation's drone kill program.
For his part, Donald Trump has pledged to "take out" the families of terrorists, a plan that sounds practically ordinary when compared to our actual drone assassination program, conceived by President George W. Bush and maintained and expanded by President Obama. And while I don't for a moment pretend that Trump's electoral victory is anything less than an emergency for our republic especially for the most vulnerable among us, and for every American who believes in justice, equity, or basic kindness it's also true that some things won't change at all. In fact, it's prototypically American that an overlong and inward looking election spectacle (which will, incidentally, have "big league" international implications) will be supplanted by still more inward looking phenomena.
And it jogs my memory in a not very pleasant way. I can't help but recall the moment, years ago and 8,000 miles away, when I was introduced to my own American centered self. The experience left an ugly mark on my picture of who I am and who, perhaps, so many of us are, as Americans.
No, not us years before I heard about a guy in Yemen whose cousins were obliterated by an American drone strike in a procession following his wedding celebration, I gleefully clicked through the travel site Kayak and pressed "confirm purchase" on one way tickets to Kathmandu. It was 2008, shortly before Barack Obama would be elected, and my boyfriend and I, a couple of twenty somethings jonesing to see the world, were about to depart on what we expected to be the adventure of our lives. Having worked temporary stints and squirreled away some cash, we packed our belongings into my mom's damp basement and prepared ourselves for a journey meant to last half a year and cross South Asia and East Africa. What we didn't know, as we headed for New York's Kennedy Airport, our passports zippered into our money belts, was that, whatever we had left behind at my mom's, we were unwittingly carrying something far heftier with us: our American ness.
Adventures commenced as soon as we stepped off the plane. We glimpsed ice capped peaks that rose majestically out of the clouds as we walked the lower Everest trail. Then consider this our introduction to the presumptions we hadn't shed we ran into a little snafu. We hadn't brought along enough cash for our multi week mountain trek; apparently we'd expected Capital One ATMs to appear miraculously on a Himalayan footpath. After we dealt with that issue through a service that worked by landline and carbon paper, we took a bumpy Jeep ride south to India and soon found ourselves walking the sloping fields of Darjeeling, the hermes mens bracelet imitation leaves of tea shrubs glinting in the afternoon light. Then we rode trains west and south, while through the frame of a moving window I looked out at fields and rice paddies where women in red or orange or turquoise saris worked the land, even as the sun set and the sky turned pink and reflected off the water where the rice grew.
Things would, however, soon get significantly less picturesque, as in some strange, twisted way, the farther we traveled, the closer to home we seemed to get.
We arrived in Mombasa, Kenya, in January 2009, on a day when thousands of the city's residents had flooded its streets to protest a recent, and particularly bloody, Israeli attack H bracelet replica on Gaza. Hamas, firing rockets into southern Israel, had killed one Israeli and injured many others. Israel retaliated in an overwhelming fashion, filling the Gazan sky with aircraft and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including five girls from a single family, ages four to 17, who were unlucky enough to live in a refugee camp adjacent to a mosque that an Israeli plane had leveled.
As I hopped off the matatu, or passenger van, into the scorching Kenyan heat, I was aware that 50,000 angry protesters had gathered not so far away, and certain facts became clear to me. For one thing, the slaughter of hundreds of civilians, including several dozen children, in what was, to me, a faraway land, was a big effing deal here. That should probably go without saying just about anywhere except I was suddenly aware that, were I home, the opposite would have been true. Those deaths in distant Gaza (unlike nearby Israel) would barely have caused a blip in the American news. What's more, if I had been at home and the story had somehow caught my eye, I knew that I wouldn't have paid it much mind. Another war in a foreign country is what I would've thought, and that would have been that.
At that moment, though, I didn't dwell on the point, because let's be serious I was scared poopless. There was a huge, angry protest nearby and we'd just gotten word that the crowd was burning an American flag. The enraged people who had taken to the streets in Mombasa were decrying my country's role in the carnage and I was a skinny American with a backpack who'd arrived in the wrong city on the wrong day.
We got the hell out of there as soon as we could. Early the next morning we climbed aboard a rusty old bus bound for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I felt a wave of relief once I'd settled into my seat. I was looking forward to a different country and a new vista.
That new vista, it turned out, materialized almost at once. Our bus was soon barreling along a rutted dirt road, the scenery whipping by the window in a distinctly less than picturesque fashion. In fact, it passed in such a blur that I realized we were going way too fast. We already knew that bus accidents were common here; we'd heard about a recent one in which all the passengers died.
When we hit what undoubtedly was a yawning pothole on that none too well kept road, the windows shook ominously and I thought: we could die. By then, my slick hands were gripping my shredded vinyl seat. I could practically feel the heat of the crash induced flames and had no trouble picturing our charred bodies in the wreckage of the bus. And then that other thought came to me, the one I wouldn't forget, the one, thousands of miles from home, that seemed to catch who I really was: No not us, we can't diewas what I said to myself, pressing my eyes shut. I meant, of course, my boyfriend and I; I meant, that is, we Americans.
It was then that I felt an electric zap, as the events of the previous day had just melded with the present dangers and forced me to see what I would have preferred to ignore: that there was an unsavory likeness between my outlook and the American credo that thousands had been protesting in Mombasa. Wecan't die, was my thought, as if we were somehow different as if these Africans on the bus with us could die, but not us. Clutching my torn bus seat, I was still afraid, but another sensation overwhelmed me. I felt like a colossal jerk.
Of course, as you know because you're reading this, we made it safely to Dar es Salaam that night. But I was changed.
Apologizing to Ourselves
I'd like to say that my egocentricity about which lives matter most is uncommon among my countrymen and women. But if you spool through the seven plus years since I rode that bus, you'll notice how that very same mindset has meant that Americans go wild with panic over lone wolf terror killings on our soil, but show scant concern when it comes to the White House directed, CIA run drone assassination campaigns across the world, and all the civilian casualties that are the bloody result. The dead innocents include members of a Yemeni family who were riding in a wedding procession when four missiles bore down on them, and imitation hermes gold bracelet Momina Bibi, that Pakistani grandmother who was tending to an okra patch as her grandchildren played nearby when a missile blasted her to smithereens. AC 130 gunship. Depending on which tally you use, since 2009 we've killed an estimated 474 civilians, or perhaps 745, outside of official war zones (and far more civilians, like those dead in that hospital, within those zones), although the horrifying truth is that the real numbers are likely much higher, but unknown and unknowable. civilians were identified in the vicinity. We value American life far too highly for such wantonness. In 2015, when a drone struck an al Qaeda compound in Pakistan, it was later discovered that two hostages, one of them an American, were inside. In response, President Obama delivered grave remarks: "I offer our deepest apologies to the families . . . I directed that this operation be declassified and disclosed . . . because the families deserve to know the truth."
But why so sorry that time and not with the other 474 or more deaths? Of course the difference was that innocent American blood was spilt. We don't even try to hide this dubious hierarchy; we celebrate it. In that same speech, President Obama reflected on why we Americans are so darn special. "One of the things that makes us exceptional," he declared, "is our willingness to confront squarely our imperfections and to learn from our mistakes."
If you hailed from any other country, it might have seemed like an odd, not to say tasteless, time to wax poetic about American exceptionalism. The president was, after all, confessing that we'd accidentally fired missiles at two captive aid workers. But I can appreciate the sentiment. Inadequate though the apology was "There are hundreds, potentially thousands of others who deserve the same apology," said an investigator for Amnesty International he was at least admitting that the United States had erred, and he was pointing out that such admissions are important. Indeed, they are. It's just . . . what about the rest of the people on the planet?
The Trump administration will probably espouse a philosophy much like President Obama's when it comes to valuing (or not) the lives of foreign innocents. And yet there's part of me that must be as unworldly as that twenty something who flew into Kathmandu, because I find myself dreaming about a new brand of American exceptionalism in our future. Not one that gives you that icky feeling when you're riding a speeding bus in another hemisphere, nor one at whose heart lies the idea that we Americans are different and special and better which, history tells us, is actually a totally unexceptional notion among powerful nations. Instead, I imagine what would be truly Hermes Collier de Chien Bracelet replica exceptional: an America that values all human life in the same way.
Of course, I'm also a realist and I know that that's not the world we live in, especially now and that it won't be for, at best, a very long time.

We are obviously not, for instance, going to redeploy our energies toward examining the embarrassing war that we're still waging in Afghanistan, now in its 16th year something that went practically unmentioned during election season, even as fighting heated up there. (You can be sure that Afghans have a somewhat different perspective on the newsworthiness of that war.) We are also not going to spend our time searching for the names of people like Momina Bibi, whom we've. . oops . . . inadvertently annihilated while carrying out our nation's drone kill program.
For his part, Donald Trump has pledged to "take out" the families of terrorists, a plan that sounds practically ordinary when compared to our actual drone assassination program, conceived by President George W. Bush and maintained and expanded by President Obama. And while I don't for a moment pretend that Trump's electoral victory is anything less than an emergency for our republic especially for the most vulnerable among us, and for every American who believes in justice, equity, or basic kindness it's also true that some things won't change at all. In fact, it's prototypically American that an overlong and inward looking election spectacle (which will, incidentally, have "big league" international implications) will be supplanted by still more inward looking phenomena.
And it jogs my memory in a not very pleasant way. I can't help but recall the moment, years ago and 8,000 miles away, when I was introduced to my own American centered self. The experience left an ugly mark on my picture of who I am and who, perhaps, so many of us are, as Americans.
No, not us years before I heard about a guy in Yemen whose cousins were obliterated by an American drone strike in a procession following his wedding celebration, I gleefully clicked through the travel site Kayak and pressed "confirm purchase" on one way tickets to Kathmandu. It was 2008, shortly before Barack Obama would be elected, and my boyfriend and I, a couple of twenty somethings jonesing to see the world, were about to depart on what we expected to be the adventure of our lives. Having worked temporary stints and squirreled away some cash, we packed our belongings into my mom's damp basement and prepared ourselves for a journey meant to last half a year and cross South Asia and East Africa. What we didn't know, as we headed for New York's Kennedy Airport, our passports zippered into our money belts, was that, whatever we had left behind at my mom's, we were unwittingly carrying something far heftier with us: our American ness.
Adventures commenced as soon as we stepped off the plane. We glimpsed ice capped peaks that rose majestically out of the clouds as we walked the lower Everest trail. Then consider this our introduction to the presumptions we hadn't shed we ran into a little snafu. We hadn't brought along enough cash for our multi week mountain trek; apparently we'd expected Capital One ATMs to appear miraculously on a Himalayan footpath. After we dealt with that issue through a service that worked by landline and carbon paper, we took a bumpy Jeep ride south to India and soon found ourselves walking the sloping fields of Darjeeling, the hermes mens bracelet imitation leaves of tea shrubs glinting in the afternoon light. Then we rode trains west and south, while through the frame of a moving window I looked out at fields and rice paddies where women in red or orange or turquoise saris worked the land, even as the sun set and the sky turned pink and reflected off the water where the rice grew.
Things would, however, soon get significantly less picturesque, as in some strange, twisted way, the farther we traveled, the closer to home we seemed to get.
We arrived in Mombasa, Kenya, in January 2009, on a day when thousands of the city's residents had flooded its streets to protest a recent, and particularly bloody, Israeli attack H bracelet replica on Gaza. Hamas, firing rockets into southern Israel, had killed one Israeli and injured many others. Israel retaliated in an overwhelming fashion, filling the Gazan sky with aircraft and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including five girls from a single family, ages four to 17, who were unlucky enough to live in a refugee camp adjacent to a mosque that an Israeli plane had leveled.
As I hopped off the matatu, or passenger van, into the scorching Kenyan heat, I was aware that 50,000 angry protesters had gathered not so far away, and certain facts became clear to me. For one thing, the slaughter of hundreds of civilians, including several dozen children, in what was, to me, a faraway land, was a big effing deal here. That should probably go without saying just about anywhere except I was suddenly aware that, were I home, the opposite would have been true. Those deaths in distant Gaza (unlike nearby Israel) would barely have caused a blip in the American news. What's more, if I had been at home and the story had somehow caught my eye, I knew that I wouldn't have paid it much mind. Another war in a foreign country is what I would've thought, and that would have been that.
At that moment, though, I didn't dwell on the point, because let's be serious I was scared poopless. There was a huge, angry protest nearby and we'd just gotten word that the crowd was burning an American flag. The enraged people who had taken to the streets in Mombasa were decrying my country's role in the carnage and I was a skinny American with a backpack who'd arrived in the wrong city on the wrong day.
We got the hell out of there as soon as we could. Early the next morning we climbed aboard a rusty old bus bound for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I felt a wave of relief once I'd settled into my seat. I was looking forward to a different country and a new vista.
That new vista, it turned out, materialized almost at once. Our bus was soon barreling along a rutted dirt road, the scenery whipping by the window in a distinctly less than picturesque fashion. In fact, it passed in such a blur that I realized we were going way too fast. We already knew that bus accidents were common here; we'd heard about a recent one in which all the passengers died.
When we hit what undoubtedly was a yawning pothole on that none too well kept road, the windows shook ominously and I thought: we could die. By then, my slick hands were gripping my shredded vinyl seat. I could practically feel the heat of the crash induced flames and had no trouble picturing our charred bodies in the wreckage of the bus. And then that other thought came to me, the one I wouldn't forget, the one, thousands of miles from home, that seemed to catch who I really was: No not us, we can't diewas what I said to myself, pressing my eyes shut. I meant, of course, my boyfriend and I; I meant, that is, we Americans.
It was then that I felt an electric zap, as the events of the previous day had just melded with the present dangers and forced me to see what I would have preferred to ignore: that there was an unsavory likeness between my outlook and the American credo that thousands had been protesting in Mombasa. Wecan't die, was my thought, as if we were somehow different as if these Africans on the bus with us could die, but not us. Clutching my torn bus seat, I was still afraid, but another sensation overwhelmed me. I felt like a colossal jerk.
Of course, as you know because you're reading this, we made it safely to Dar es Salaam that night. But I was changed.
Apologizing to Ourselves
I'd like to say that my egocentricity about which lives matter most is uncommon among my countrymen and women. But if you spool through the seven plus years since I rode that bus, you'll notice how that very same mindset has meant that Americans go wild with panic over lone wolf terror killings on our soil, but show scant concern when it comes to the White House directed, CIA run drone assassination campaigns across the world, and all the civilian casualties that are the bloody result. The dead innocents include members of a Yemeni family who were riding in a wedding procession when four missiles bore down on them, and imitation hermes gold bracelet Momina Bibi, that Pakistani grandmother who was tending to an okra patch as her grandchildren played nearby when a missile blasted her to smithereens. AC 130 gunship. Depending on which tally you use, since 2009 we've killed an estimated 474 civilians, or perhaps 745, outside of official war zones (and far more civilians, like those dead in that hospital, within those zones), although the horrifying truth is that the real numbers are likely much higher, but unknown and unknowable. civilians were identified in the vicinity. We value American life far too highly for such wantonness. In 2015, when a drone struck an al Qaeda compound in Pakistan, it was later discovered that two hostages, one of them an American, were inside. In response, President Obama delivered grave remarks: "I offer our deepest apologies to the families . . . I directed that this operation be declassified and disclosed . . . because the families deserve to know the truth."
But why so sorry that time and not with the other 474 or more deaths? Of course the difference was that innocent American blood was spilt. We don't even try to hide this dubious hierarchy; we celebrate it. In that same speech, President Obama reflected on why we Americans are so darn special. "One of the things that makes us exceptional," he declared, "is our willingness to confront squarely our imperfections and to learn from our mistakes."
If you hailed from any other country, it might have seemed like an odd, not to say tasteless, time to wax poetic about American exceptionalism. The president was, after all, confessing that we'd accidentally fired missiles at two captive aid workers. But I can appreciate the sentiment. Inadequate though the apology was "There are hundreds, potentially thousands of others who deserve the same apology," said an investigator for Amnesty International he was at least admitting that the United States had erred, and he was pointing out that such admissions are important. Indeed, they are. It's just . . . what about the rest of the people on the planet?
The Trump administration will probably espouse a philosophy much like President Obama's when it comes to valuing (or not) the lives of foreign innocents. And yet there's part of me that must be as unworldly as that twenty something who flew into Kathmandu, because I find myself dreaming about a new brand of American exceptionalism in our future. Not one that gives you that icky feeling when you're riding a speeding bus in another hemisphere, nor one at whose heart lies the idea that we Americans are different and special and better which, history tells us, is actually a totally unexceptional notion among powerful nations. Instead, I imagine what would be truly Hermes Collier de Chien Bracelet replica exceptional: an America that values all human life in the same way.
Of course, I'm also a realist and I know that that's not the world we live in, especially now and that it won't be for, at best, a very long time.

A naked rampage in California has left residents of an apartment complex in shock after a bare man ran around their parking lot at night and smashed headfirst into vehicles.
Clarisa Vidrio of Anaheim told KTLA News that she spotted 21 year old Garrett Smith sprinting towards the trunk of her neighbor's van around 11:30pm on Saturday before he bounced off and did a backwards somersault.
Distressed by the scene, she quickly got into her car and attempted to drive off, but a bloodied Smith erratically jumped on her bonnet.
Vidrio sped up in a state of panic and dethroned the unclothed rider by bumping into a parked van.
'I saw the guy flying off the car. I literally thought I was van cleef imitation necklace alhambra going to die that day,' she recalled.
Proving her observations, a surveillance camera caught the unusual incident unfold.
Footage released, shows Smith getting up and wearily crouching over after he was hit.
Another resident from the apartment complex then goes over to greet him before he starts running again.
The witness described the scene as 'something beyond his imagination.'

Stephen Trinkle, who also spotted Smith, told CBS News he was covered in sweat and blood.
'To take that much pain and then get up and take off again, it's just bizarre,' Trinkle added.
Vidrio, who first saw Smith, immediately called 911 after she managed to get him off her car.
Smith was arrested a mile away and taken to hospital with multiple injuries.
He now faces charges of vandalism, being under the influence and resisting arrest.
