LYRICS:
I saw Santa
In Canada
He had 12 horses
Alike a Euro car
O, Dear Santa,
Please, come around
You bring the children
A penny pound.
I saw Bill Clinton
In Arkansas
He drove a Chevy
With six cylinders
O, Dear Billy,
You have a red nose too
Please don't tell Hillary
When you go to Mexico.
I saw all people
In the Under Land
They have a Rolls-Royce
And need some gas.
O, Dear people
You have beer too
So drink your beer
And leave US alone.
I hope that Santa
Will give them all
The gift of freedom
So they can go.
O, Dear Santa,
Do come around.

LYRICS:
I saw a Russian girl in Moscow who had the bluest eyes
I caught the train to follow that fay from the skies
The chance is slim, I know but one always tries
The girl is so beautiful, sweet, wise and nice
I wished I was rich and strong
To stop the train and go along
The rails, the roads turn right or wrong
Rasputin wasn't mad nor monk
I see I am a rocket that flies through the Cosmos
I seem to be smarter then all wizards of Os
I fly away through the everlasted frost
With that girl whom I want and love the most
I wished I was rich and strong
To stop the train and go along
The rails, the roads turn right or wrong
Rasputin wasn't mad nor monk
I see I am a tank that passes through the streets
I break and thrash empty cars on the way I meet
I know that in a day or two Berlin will be freed
And we will marry on that day - the documents will read
I wished I was rich and strong
To stop the train and go along
The rails, the roads turn right or wrong
Rasputin wasn't mad nor monk

Defense Chief Says Israel Must Mend Arab Ties
By THOM SHANKER
Published: December 2, 2011
“I believe security is dependent on a strong military, but it is also dependent on strong diplomacy,” Mr. Panetta said. “And unfortunately, over the past year, we have seen Israel’s isolation from its traditional security partners in the region grow, and the pursuit of a comprehensive Middle East peace has effectively been put on hold.”

The Jerusalem Post reports today that the U.S. Army is considering the purchase of Israel’s Iron Dome short-range missile defense system to protect bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iron Dome was developed in response to persistent rocket attacks by the Palestinian Hamas terror group in Gaza, and the Hizbollah terror organization in southern Lebanon, both of which target Israeli civilians.
The system was deployed in southern Israel earlier this year, and has been largely successful.

Katyusha-like launchers were exported to Afghanistan, Angola, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, East Germany, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Poland, Syria, and Vietnam. They were also built in Czechoslovakia,[15] the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and Iran.[citation needed]
Proper Katyushas (Bm-13s) also saw action in the Korean War, used by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army against the South and United Nations forces. Soviet BM-13s were known to have been imported to China before the Sino-Soviet split and were operational in the People's Liberation Army.
Excerpt:
Very nice piece, well researched.
The amusing thing is that the whole Stuxnet effort, that is, the effort directed against Iran, was a complete waste of time since Iran does not have and has never had a nuclear weapons program.
In the same vein, as journalist Seymour Hersh recently revealed in a New Yorker article, the US has spent an incredible effort to try to detect such a program - including devices like replacing building bricks and street signs in Tehran with nuclear radiation detection devices - and has been unable to find anything at all indicating that Iran has such a program.

Ministry of Research and Technology
IAEA Contribution to International Peace, Security and Prosperity
by IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a pleasure and honour for me to visit Indonesia and to speak to you here at the Ministry of Research and Technology.
Indonesia has been a strong and reliable partner of the IAEA for decades. Your country is party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), with both a comprehensive safeguards agreement and an additional protocol in force, as well as to the main international conventions on safety and security.
The IAEA has a large and active technical cooperation programme in Indonesia, supporting many peaceful nuclear applications in human health, agriculture, water and other areas. Since Indonesia took the decision some years ago to embark on a nuclear power programme, we have worked more and more closely together in this area.
And that is where I would like to begin my speech to you today - by talking about the global outlook for nuclear energy, especially in the aftermath of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan
As you can imagine, the accident, and its aftermath, have taken up much of my time in the past seven months. The IAEA was actively involved in assisting Japan in dealing with the consequences of the accident and in sharing information with other Member States. I would like to thank the Indonesian authorities for offering their assistance to Japan.
Our assessment of the current situation at Fukushima Daiichi is that the reactors are essentially stable. The expectation is that the "cold shutdown" of all the reactors will be achieved as planned. Attention has already turned to decontamination of the affected areas.
At our annual General Conference last month, the IAEA's Member States adopted a 12-point Action Plan on Nuclear Safety which, I believe, represents a significant step forward in global nuclear safety. It includes an agreement by all Member States with nuclear power programmes to assess the design of their nuclear power plants against extreme natural hazards, and to take corrective action where necessary.
The Action Plan also strengthens the framework for IAEA peer reviews. These involve dispatching international expert missions to assess the safety of a country's nuclear reactors, its emergency preparedness and response capabilities and the effectiveness of its nuclear regulatory system. I am pleased to note that Indonesia hosted an IAEA Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review mission in 2009. I believe all countries have much to learn from the peer review process.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Despite the Fukushima Daiichi accident, a large number of countries continue to regard nuclear power as an important option. In fact, the latest IAEA projections show that global use of nuclear power will continue to grow quite significantly in the coming decades, although at a slower pace than in our previous projections. There are 432 operating nuclear power reactors in the world today. Our latest projections suggest that this figure is likely to increase by at least 90 by 2030, and possibly by as much as 350. Asia looks set to remain the main focus of the expansion.
The factors that contributed to increasing interest in nuclear power before the Fukushima Daiichi accident have not changed: these include increasing global demand for energy, as well as concerns about climate change, volatile fossil fuel prices and security of energy supply. A few countries have decided to scale back, or even terminate, their nuclear power programmes, but many others are proceeding with ambitious expansion plans. In particular, the resolve of many developing countries to introduce nuclear power to meet their increasing energy needs remains undiminished.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ensuring that nuclear science and technology are used exclusively for peaceful purposes is the basic pillar upon which the IAEA was established more than five decades ago. A central Agency function is to verify that States are fully complying with their non-proliferation obligations and to confirm that nuclear material is being used for peaceful purposes.
Non-Nuclear-Weapon States party to the NPT are required to conclude comprehensive safeguards agreements with the Agency, under which we conduct regular inspections of their nuclear material and activities. I also encourage all countries to conclude an additional protocol to their safeguards agreements. This instrument, introduced in 1997, greatly enhances the IAEA's verification capability by giving us expanded access to information and to relevant locations. It enables us to provide credible assurance not only about the non-diversion of declared nuclear material - that is, material about which a country has notified us - but also about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities. So far, 110 countries have brought additional protocols into force. Because Indonesia is one of them, the Agency is able to draw the so-called "broader conclusion" that all nuclear material in your country has remained in peaceful activities.
My approach to nuclear verification since taking up office in December 2009 has been very straightforward: all safeguards agreements between Member States and the Agency, and other relevant obligations such as UN Security Council resolutions, should be implemented fully. A number of safeguards issues have occupied the IAEA Board of Governors for some years.
First, Iran. The Agency can verify that nuclear material declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement is not being diverted. However, Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation to enable the Agency to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities, and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities. I urge Iran to take steps towards the full implementation of all relevant obligations in order to establish international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear programme.
In the case of Syria, the Agency recently came to the conclusion that it is very likely that a building destroyed at the Dair Alzour site in 2007 was a nuclear reactor which should have been declared to the Agency. I continue to engage with Syria to resolve related outstanding issues.
The nuclear programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea remains a matter of serious concern. As you may know, since April 2009 the Agency has not been able to implement any safeguards measures in that country. Last year's reports about the construction of a new uranium enrichment facility and a light water reactor in the DPRK are deeply troubling. Once again, I urge the DPRK to fully implement all of the relevant resolutions of the IAEA General Conference and the Security Council.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Another important part of the Agency's work is helping countries to reduce the risk of terrorists obtaining nuclear or radioactive material and to prevent sabotage at nuclear facilities. The IAEA has an extensive nuclear security programme which covers everything from physical protection at facilities to radiation detection and response. We also help States to ensure nuclear security at major public events - for example, the London Olympic Games next year and the 2012 European Football Championship.
The IAEA maintains an Illicit Trafficking Database, which is the most authoritative global source of information on thefts or other unauthorized activities involving nuclear materials. Since 2002, we have trained around 9,000 people in 120 countries on all aspects of nuclear security and helped to repatriate highly enriched uranium research reactor fuel to the countries which produced it. Our experts have worked closely with Indonesia in areas such as control of radioactive material and combating illicit trafficking.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
One of the IAEA's objectives under our Statute is: "to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world." We fulfill this objective by operating a technical cooperation programme which helps countries to use peaceful nuclear applications in many areas, including human health, agriculture and water.
For example, since 1980, the IAEA has delivered an extensive programme of cancer-related assistance to developing countries. This has involved establishing and upgrading radiotherapy and oncology centres and providing training for medical and technical staff. We also help farmers to increase their output by developing improved varieties of seeds using nuclear techniques.
This year, we are placing a particular emphasis on nuclear techniques related to water, the subject of our annual Scientific Forum in Vienna last month. This encompasses three important areas of the Agency's work: water resources assessment, agricultural water management, and aquatic pollution control. Nearly a billion people lack access to adequate drinking water. The Agency can help countries to undertake comprehensive assessments of water resources by making available unique information provided through the techniques of isotope hydrology. The IAEA Environment Laboratories in Monaco make isotopic techniques available to help track phenomena such as ocean acidification and improve understanding of climate change.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Many of the challenges which the IAEA faces today are very different from those envisaged by our founders more than 50 years ago. Today, it is not the risk of the most industrialised countries developing nuclear weapons that preoccupies the international community. Concern is focused instead on countries such as North Korea, which, contrary to its non-proliferation commitments, has developed nuclear weapons, and Iran, which is not fully implementing its comprehensive safeguards agreement with the Agency and other obligations. For decades, nuclear power generation was the preserve of developed countries. Today, many developing countries are considering launching nuclear power programmes. The possibility of nuclear terrorism was simply not an issue in the 1950s. Today, it is high on the agenda of world leaders.
Despite these changes, the Agency's "Atoms for Peace" mandate - making the benefits of nuclear science and technology available for peaceful, but not military, purposes - remains valid. My goal as Director General is to help our Member States to use nuclear techniques to meet the challenges they face in many areas in the 21st century.
Indonesia is an important partner in all areas of our work and I look forward to deepening and strengthening our cooperation with you in the coming years.
Thank you.
Katyusa song translation
Apple and pear trees were blooming.
O'er the river the fog merrily rolled.
On the steep banks walked Katyusha,
On the high bank she slowly strode.
As she walked she sang a sweet song
Of her silver eagle of the steppe,
Of the one she loved she loved so dearly,
And the one whose letters she had kept
O you song! Little song of a young girl,
Fly over the river and in the sunlight go.
And fly to my hero far from me,
From his Katyusha bring him a sweet hello.
Will he remember this plain young girl,
And her sweet song like a dove,
As he stands guarding his proud nation,
So Katyusha will guard their love.
Katyusha Greek translation
| Three letters only illuminate Our Greek generation And show us the bright way To bring back Liberty They are the light of our struggle And the people, loyally they follow Young and Old men all together shout Hail, Hail To EAM(x2) EAM saved us from starving It will now save us from slavery It wants congregationalism Hail, Hail To EAM(x2) It has united all our people It has EPON and ELAS It wants congregationalism Hail, Hail To EAM(x2) |

Excerpt:
“Humility in the artist is his frank acceptance of all experiences,
just as Love in the artist is simply that sense of Beauty that reveals
to the world its body and its soul.
- Oscar Wilde
"You don't have to like everyone but you do have to respect everyone"
- D.D.P. studios Inc. philosophy when working together
with other Artists, People and Communities.
The Artistic path is marked by neurotic tendencies as well as by
high ideals, by ignorance as well as by knowledge and genius, by
preparedness, by hard work, by intuition, by improv, by fame, by
conflict, by joy, by pains and loves of life, by relationships as well
as by daily incarnated life as well as by high levels of consciousness.
This is the Artistic path. It is something that most artists feel when
a good project is being formed. All great Artistic projects have a flow,
like a flowing river that can be felt by most Professionals. If you are
an Artist and can’t feel the flow of Art in your personal or collective
projects than you’ve become a Capitalist Artists rejecting the flow of
art and its natural beauty, of which you may have lost your way.

What if God appeared as a gorgeous man with long sable hair and a black jacket atop a Harley Davidson 1340cc motorcycle to a single 37 year-old woman? Could this be what it takes to help her shake off the self-limiting behaviors and beliefs that have stood between her and a happy life? You'd better believe it! As our heroine, Christine, slowly begins a life-altering journey to transform her life into one she actually enjoys living, she finds the meaning of love, and the secrets to enjoying a happy life.
Even if you normally don't enjoy romance novels, I'm sure you'll love "God on a Harley". This book is sheer genius, and can help you see your life in a whole new light!
This review is from: God on a Harley (Hardcover)
I got this little treasure from the library. I say little because it is very short, but it is jam packed with such truth, such faith. It's the story of Christine, a burned out nurse who is lonely and downright angry with the way her life has turned out. She bases her life on whether she has a relationship or not and is increasingly miserable and angry at the start of this fable. Then God arrives. He comes in the form of a handsome stranger on a Harley. Slowly, through this fable, he teaches her what she's been doing wrong and helps her find the meaning of life.
This short book packs a very heavy message ... one that will make you reexamine your own thought processes and the direction of your life. It's a story that will linger in your thoughts for a long time ... it will hopefully make you think ... make you change ... grow.
