Quote of the day--Mozart as a touring child musician and composer, from Wikipedia, Leopold was his father.
After one year in Salzburg, Leopold and Wolfgang set off for Italy, leaving Anna Maria and Nannerl at home. This tour lasted from December 1769 to March 1771. As with earlier journeys, Leopold wanted to display his son's abilities as a performer and a rapidly maturing composer. Wolfgang met Josef Mysliveček and Giovanni Battista Martini in Bologna, and was accepted as a member of the famous Accademia Filarmonica. In Rome, he heard Gregorio Allegri's Miserere twice in performance, in the Sistine Chapel, and wrote it out from memory, thus producing the first unauthorized copy of this closely guarded property of the Vatican.[21][22]

Hopefully the Laura Ingraham blow-up will teach conservatives: You are not "debating" gun control when you insult survivors of a mass slaughter for advocating laws you dont agree with. You are just being infantile bullies.
Wanna debate POLICY? Great. Wanna insult kids? Shut up.

Well, this destroys the @NRA’s narrative. A teen took his father’s loaded gun to school to fatally shoot his ex-girlfriend and himself. The armed guard did not dissuade him from carrying out the crime, nor did it ultimately stop him from doing so.

In general, never agree to anything intrusive or a foreign body in your system.
Useless things like breast implants.
In case 1, easier to buy Poise or incontinence pads and use them, than have a sling put in.

For all those who've died from guns, one way or the other--John Lennon's Imagine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOgFZfRVaww
On Saturday, Sir Paul McCartney came to DC, to join the March for Our Lives.
He said, "I'm here because I lost a close friend to gun violence, not far from here," referring to John Lennon being shot in front of his building, The Dakota.
It's ironic that someone who wrote something like Imagine, should have been killed by a stranger with a gun.

Ms. Maddow added that everyone else, citing names of their lawyers, has a "proper lawyer" and son in law Kushner may have the best one, "in proportion to magnitude of his legal problems."

Quote of the day--human rights offenses in Uzbekistan --from Wikipedia
Human rights
Main article: Human rights in Uzbekistan
See also: 2005 Andijan Unrest
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan asserts that "democracy in the Republic of Uzbekistan shall be based upon common human principles, according to which the highest value shall be the human being, his life, freedom, honour, dignity and other inalienable rights."
The official position is summarised in a memorandum "The measures taken by the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of providing and encouraging human rights"[43] and amounts to the following: the government does everything that is in its power to protect and to guarantee the human rights of Uzbekistan's citizens. Uzbekistan continuously improves its laws and institutions in order to create a more humane society. Over 300 laws regulating the rights and basic freedoms of the people have been passed by the parliament. For instance, an office of Ombudsman was established in 1996.[44] On 2 August 2005, President Islam Karimov signed a decree that abolished capital punishment in Uzbekistan on 1 January 2008.[45]
Old Uzbek man from Uzbekistan
However, non-governmental human rights watchdogs, such as IHF, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, as well as United States Department of State and Council of the European Union, define Uzbekistan as "an authoritarian state with limited civil rights"[16] and express profound concern about "wide-scale violation of virtually all basic human rights".[46] According to the reports, the most widespread violations are torture, arbitrary arrests, and various restrictions of freedoms: of religion, of speech and press, of free association and assembly. It has also been reported that forced sterilization of rural Uzbek women has been sanctioned by the government.[47][48] The reports maintain that the violations are most often committed against members of religious organizations, independent journalists, human rights activists and political activists, including members of the banned opposition parties. As of 2015, reports on violations on human rights in Uzbekistan indicated that violations were still going on without any improvement.[49] The Freedom House has consistently ranked Uzbekistan near the bottom of its Freedom in the World ranking since the country's founding in 1991. In the 2018 report, Uzbekistan was one of the 11 worst countries for Political Rights and Civil Liberties.[50]
The 2005 civil unrest in Uzbekistan, which resulted in several hundred people being killed, is viewed by many as a landmark event in the history of human rights abuse in Uzbekistan.[51][52][53] A concern has been expressed and a request for an independent investigation of the events has been made by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.
The government of Uzbekistan is accused of unlawful termination of human life and of denying its citizens freedom of assembly and freedom of expression. The government vehemently rebuffs the accusations, maintaining that it merely conducted an anti-terrorist operation, exercising only necessary force.[54] In addition, some officials claim that "an information war on Uzbekistan has been declared" and the human rights violations in Andijan are invented by the enemies of Uzbekistan as a convenient pretext for intervention in the country's internal affairs.[55]
Uzbekistan also maintains the world's second-highest rate of modern slavery, 3.97%[56] of the country's population working as modern slaves. In real terms, this means that there are 1.2 million modern slaves[56] in Uzbekistan. Most work in the cotton industry. The government allegedly forces state employees to pick cotton in the fall months.[57] World Bank loans have been connected to projects that use child labour and forced labour practices in the cotton industry.[58]
Recent developments
Islam Karimov died in 2016 and his successor Shavkat Mirziyoyev is considered by most to be pursuing a less autocratic path by increasing cooperation with human rights NGOs,[59][60] scheduling Soviet-style exit visas to be abolished in 2019,[61] and reducing sentences for certain misdemeanor offenses.[62]

As regards the single "comment", I don't know what this man is referring to "USG?"
Nor the other initial.
Besides, it is the convention in (academic) writing to make it clear who said what exactly and who added what.
Otherwise it would be plagiarism.
That is not "self-aggrandizement.
I do admit I put this together quickly as it is supposed to be a quick handbook, an excellent academic study already exists and I mentioned it in the text and the "further reading" list.

Quote of the day--from Banksy wiki
In February 2007, the owners of a house with a Banksy mural on the side in Bristol decided to sell the house through Red Propeller art gallery after offers fell through because the prospective buyers wanted to remove the mural. It is listed as a mural that comes with a house attached.[37]
How to delete your Facebook + Burmese experience.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/20/17142806/how-to-delete-facebook-page-account-data-privacy
I did it in Sept 2016, but some are saying "they still saw me" there, but "Kyi Kaung" "Clear good" may also be pronounced 'kyii kaung" "looks good" with another meaning, and when I checked it was not a good site and certainly not me.
I know there are tons of fake names and accts on FB, even among the "Burmese"
This whole scandal with Cambridge Analytica and voter manipulation may sink FB for good. If you are addicted to it, go cold turkey, it's not worth it for the occasional ego stroke.
There are a lot of flakey people on FB and it wastes time. But in my case I did manage to write and edit 2 books, one a compilation of my economics colleagues' essays, and one a writing memoir in which I used FB posts for prompts, so I did put it to good use when I had it. (You should ideally compose on a word file and then copy and paste to FB, and keep files well maintained and backed up)
I also got back in touch with long lost relatives inside Burma, but now I've said my good byes to them, and I suppose that's that. If they don't trouble to ever check their emails, that's that. It was sad to be instant messaged from a former bro in law's intensive care bedside, and asked if I'd like pictures of his remains. I told his daughter I would rather remember him as he had been. He died while I went off the IM to go to the super mart to get some food, as I was completely out.
*
At least I know what my surviving relatives look like now.
One person said, she had to stand in "ex-myanmar" line at the airport when she went back, and didn't recognize her friend except that she saw her photo on FB, but some ppl put in photos from when they were 20.
Most of my 1500 "friends" were casual acquaintances sharing (Indian) recipes, and flower photos, and all the former Burmese dissidents jumped the fence, so it only annoyed me to see their photo opps in Burma.
But now and then I stumbled on some really important posts, as when Ma Nandar (I don't think this is her real name, I've changed it) went to reclaim her husband journalist Ko Par Gyi's remains. He did not show up at a meeting place in Thailand and it turned out he was beaten to death in a Burmese prison. This happened AFTER the so called opening up in 2011.
The village "elders" under junta then harassed her entourage all the way to Rangoon, saying it was bad luck to take a body through a village.
I even got a poem from her site, saying "Don't cry Ma Nandar--when they die--(we will do the same)"
And it was nice to meet all the other Burmese writers and visual artists, and I do miss them. Incld someone in LA, whom I cld not find again. But then the video project I had envisioned did not materialize due to lack of funding.
So there--

Trmp lawyer John Dowd calls on DOJ? to shut down Mueller probe, casting all sorts of aspersions on "fake dossiers" "manufactured" etc.
http://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/daily-beast-trump-lawyer-calls-for-end-to-mueller-probe-1188392003503
But it won't go away, all because trmpies don't like it.
There is too much out in the open now, and Putin is getting too bold, with a total of NINE at least deaths of his enemies and critics in UK, not counting journalist Anna Politkovskaya,who was shot in lobby of her building in Moscow.
Typically, what dictators like T. and P. do, is show or attempt to show they are above the law.
As Burmese writer Ludu Daw Ahmar said, "Dictators never exit alive."
Sooner or later, like all humans, they have to die too.
Remember, Stalin killed a lot of people, including Trotsky in Mexico who was killed with a pick axe,
and so did Mao, and so did Mussolini, and so did Hitler, yet they all died, were killed, or in case of Hitler, killed himself.
And what about Ceaucescu?
Trmp wld be lucky to be impeached.

Don't think so, just one of those trmp super distractions.

Michael Cohen ( trmp lawyer's) $130,000 payment, "out of his own money" Cohen says, was flagged as suspicious by the bank.
Cohen says he has not been repaid.
Stay tuned.
trmp tried to hold his wife's hand again as they got off the plane, sliding his own hand down her arm. What a move, so sly, even with his own wife.
She "put her hand away."
This whole trmp circus is full of the most perverted, lying, cheating people.

Burmese python from wikipedia-- FYI
Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.[31] They also consume large amounts of food, and due to their size, require large, often custom-built, secure enclosures. As a result, some are released into the wild, and become invasive species that devastate the environment. For this reason, some jurisdictions (including Florida due to the python invasion in the Everglades)[32] have placed restrictions on the keeping of Burmese pythons as pets. Violators could be imprisoned for more than 7 years or fined $500,000 if convicted.
Burmese pythons are opportunistic feeders; they eat almost any time food is offered, and often act hungry even when they have recently eaten. As a result, they are often overfed, causing obesity-related problems to be common in captive Burmese pythons.
Like the much smaller ball python, Burmese pythons are known to be easygoing or timid creatures, which means that if cared for properly, they can easily adjust to living near humans.[citation needed]
Handling
Audience volunteers holding an adult Burmese python
Although pythons are typically afraid of people due to their high stature, and generally avoid humans, special care is still required when handling them. Given their adult strength, multiple handlers (up to one person per meter of snake) are usually recommended.[33] Some jurisdictions require owners to hold special licenses, and as with any wild animal being kept in captivity, treating them with the respect an animal of this size commands is important.[citation n
3 tribal boys catch python --don't try this at home or anywhere in wild.
https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-mozilla-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla&p=how+will+a+Karen+tribesman+catch+a+python#id=7&vid=73d1eeef71ec8c71e04a8c9ba40e1d35&action=view
Growing up, I always heard stories of man in the jungle who held his machete sharp side out, so when the python squeezed him, it was cut into pieces, but I don't know if this is true.
Pythons kill by squeezing and cobras with poison, but would you know the difference.
They've imported Indian tribesmen for catching Burmese pythons in Florida.
They should import Karen tribesmen from Burma who are noted hunters.
They should also start a fashion for python handbags.

Must watch--Richard Engel reports on N. Korea.
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show
At the start of the program, he mentions N Korean arm sales to Burma, now called Myanmar.
Engel looks at open source and Middlebury Institute in CA, where experts can look at public footage, for instance of a missile launch, and determine location (geolocation), where the launch site is, using Google Earth, and if the image has been manipulated.
They also use social media.
What they do is much like what I do, with respect to Burma, but of course what they do is more technical.
Engel also reports on an activist who managed to flee from N. Korea, and the number is very small, maybe in the low dozens.
One book I have read is Dear Leader, non-fiction, agented (literary agent, not secret agent) by uber agent known as The Jackal, Andrew Wylie.
Anyway, this is worth watching.
Importantly, Engel says that Trmp's talk of a "pre-emptive strike" is worse than useless, because the N Koreans already have a nuclear warhead that can fit on their missiles (see onder Rachel Maddow program)and so "any strike will lead to nuclear war."
Incidentally, Engel and his wife have a seriously brain damaged young child, who will never be able to look after himself.
This I learned from reading People magazine, while waiting in my dentist's waiting room, for my interminable dental appointments.
In this interview, Engel said that in some ways it was easier for him, than for his wife, because he could "get away" on assignment, and as "it is sometimes dangerous, I have to concentrate (in the moment)."
From decades of talking to committed dissidents, from many different countries, (one was from S. Africa), I learned that dissidents don't do what they do because they are rich, well connected and have no problems of their own, or to scratch their butt.
I learned from the lady who was working to help Ashin (Rev.) Gambira of Saffron Revolution fame that she had needed a kidney transplant for some time, and was so happy that day I invited her to a formal reception in her home city of Chicago, because she said, her brother had just told her he would donate one of his kidneys for her.
It was very strange. I always thought she was quiet and laid back because she was a Buddhist.
She worked in the same university as my hosts, and yet, they did not know each other.

Of course, "other countries" (trading partners) won't take it lying down, have already said they will retaliate.
BTW, Putin might think it's a good time now to release those p-tapes.
oo la la.
