or independent authors. so we always like to we are an association that supports the business of publishing, not the craft publishing. and so what we mean by that, if an individual is looking for help around editing the production process, we do some of that. but really our focus is once the book is created and the author, publisher or the independent publishers looking to get that book into the market. we provide services and education on how to do that. so it's really about the business of of book publishing in terms of what we as an organization. it's certainly marketing trade marketing programs, discounts on services that. folks who service our industry provide, but it's also about education advocacy. and those are two really mission. things that we do at ibp. so by education, i mean is teaching author publishers teaching more established publishers the best way to get their in front of people the most profitable to run their business and sort of how to protect that are themselves and their businesses ag

the money in the programs we should be authorizing under the defense authorization bill include money for training, technology and equipment and the pay and benefits that families rely on. supporting all of these people and these facilities is a herculean task. in the defense authorization bill is a very important way that we do just that. the defense bill must also include military readiness. we know military warfare has changed. it is not just tanks and airplanes and aircraft carriers. we've seen what is happening in ukraine where the ukrainians are using drones relatively inexpensive drones to knock out russian tanks and armored. so this has changed quite a bit. using inexpensive drones that are now being shot down by two million-dollar missiles launched from shifts. we have to keep up with it. not that we can fight wars but so we can deter those. keeping it by maintaining deterrence. you should have a focus on reforming our procurement process so we can quickly replenish our defense stockpiles this has been a major problem because the pentagon is probably the world's biggest burea

when the shots were fired, the course was immediately locked down. authorities have detained a person of interest as they putting as this comes almost exactly 2 months after a bullet. greys, the former president e, a at a rally in pennsylvania and dw special correspondent abraham is in washington dc. for us. i a, what more can you tell us about this as well, the most important thing to remember at jared is that we are in the very, very early hours of what will likely be a high profile investigation around what exactly happened today. who exactly was the target and who exactly was behind these shots? so, you know, just to let our viewers know any details. i give you right now could change a soon in the coming hours as we learn more. but what we know now is that around 2 pm, local time shots were fired around a former president, donald trump's of golf course in florida, where he spends a lot of time when he's not on the campaign trail or in his resume resort in new jersey. and we know that authorities have identified a person of interest to may have been involved in the incident. and we

it's not authority it's x experience.t is what will you what truth and knowledge are the search for truth begins to turn inward instead of looking at aristotle and applying logic, the search for truth now moves inside people's own understandings and speculation. and you see this most especially in renÉ descartes, the french 17th century philosopher, and his discourse on method descartes resolves never to accept anything for true, which i did not clearly know to be such. that is to say carefully, to avoid precipitant, say prejudice, and to comprise nothing more, in my judgment, than what was presented to my mind so clearly indistinctly as to exclude all ground of what does this mean? this means i am going to doubt everything. i'm going to check nothing on authority. i want to find my way to truth. i can't accept anyone else's word for it, much less aristotle's. so what am i going to do? i'm going to use doubt as my method and doubt is what will assist me in the discovery of truth. and he believes he does because after he h

one of the main areas that the polish authorities relied on in carrying out the policy of polonization was religion, it was used quite actively, because the overwhelming majority of ethnic belarusians in the territory of the eastern voivodeships of poland were orthodox, and this did not fit into pełsudski's concept of a state with a single nation. after sudsky's death in 1935, he probably did not render any more help to any of the political figures of the then europe. in 1922, the authorities created an autocephalous orthodox church in poland, it seemed to them not enough that the main part of the orthodox population, which against their will began to live under the jurisdiction of the polish republic, lost their parishes. in addition, the belarusian-speaking population began to be forced to use the polish language in worship services. the clergy, who did not agree to change the church slavonic language to polish, were subjected to persecution and repression, moreover, the polish authorities tried to liquidate orthodox churches under various pretexts, transferring them to catholic chur

, then, is not very clear to me, since they are selective in nature, meaning the authorities of franceyes, yes, thank you, and we move on again to the topic of our meeting today, mr. abraham, based on the results. flights to malaysia, we are actually seeing an increase in russian tourists, we are extremely attentive to them, for this flow to grow it is necessary to open direct air traffic, we are working on this as much as possible faster, in addition to this, it is necessary to raise awareness among the malaysian public, it would be useful for them to know about... of course, it is difficult to compete with russia and china, but there are things that russia does not have in malaysia and vice versa, russia has things that malaysia does not have, so it would be great to increase tourist flows, because then people can get to know each other's countries, it seems to me that there is great potential here, potential in particular for... we have a strong indigenous population, the malay population in particular, we are a rich diverse culture, we also have an impressive chinese minority, ther

the authorities assure that the former president himself is completely safe.is cheerful, happy and has not suffered at all. however, even the authorities are concerned about the fact that trump has already been the target of a second assassination attempt during the election period. any unbiased observer would wonder. do they need more personnel or not? meanwhile, suspicions about the white house's interest in eliminating trump are growing. elon musk, for example, noted the fact that they are not trying to kill biden or haris, their opponent. trump himself has already accused the head of the white house and the vice president of the assassination attempt. there are enough uncertainties in the circumstances of the current assassination attempt, and it is quite possible that many questions will remain unanswered, as last time. then, after the attempt to shoot trump at... at a campaign rally, no one explained why the man with the gun, who did not hide the preparations for the attack, was not stopped a couple of days before the assassination attempt. meanwhile, th

, the authorities of venezuela, the authorities of the usa and other countries have previously arrested confiscated assets belonging to venezuela, cars, bank accounts, gold, in general the practice of sanctions... america has been using it for a long time, that's it are just a few examples that show how the geography of this struggle for power is constantly expanding around the world. after the invasion of iraq by american troops and their allies in 2003, george w. bush ordered the confiscation of all non-diplomatic assets of iraq on us soil. iranian assets were first frozen in the united states back in 1979; since then, sanctions against that country have been adjusted many times, usually becoming even tougher. in 2011, during mass protests in libya, the us imposed sanctions against gaddafi's government financial restrictions, including freezing the accounts of the libyan central bank, which is tens of billions of dollars, the americans did the same with the assets of the syrian central bank in the same 2011, in august 2021, after the taliban movement, banned in russia, came to power i

as for the lithuanian authorities, the losses of the economy.ording to experts, annual losses amount to almost 1 billion dollars, primarily due to problems in the transit industry, the work of the klaipeda port and the decline in exports. in this way, thus, another nail is driven into the economy, including a reputational nail. the klaipeti port is a very unreliable partner for political decisions. lithuania can take away any property, any client in this port, even without having any rights to do so. back in march of this year, 17 fire trucks purchased by zimbabwe from our country were stolen in the same way, again in the klaipeti port. now lithuania is planning to allegedly give them to ukraine. typical piracy, international trade standards are completely violated, and the ethical side, these cars were intended to fight fires, and therefore save lives in the african country. and there is more of this... they promise more, the authorities of latvia are already planning to follow the example of their baltic brother, cars in this country, if they

smith, the author of the house side re-authorization. he has been a leader on religious freedom issues throughout his 43-year career in this house. we need to pass this bill immediately to help ensure that freedom of religion under threat from extremists and authoritarian governments around the world remains front and center. i reserve the balance of my time the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentlewoman from north carolina is recognized. ms. manning: mr. speaker, i rise in support of s.3764 and i yield myself as much time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of s.3764, and i thank our senate colleagues, senators marco rubio, ben cardin, and james lankford and my dear friend and colleague, representative chris smith for their leadership in advancing this important measure. this bill would re-authorize the united states commission on international religious freedom or uscirfr which was established 26 years ago as a independent u.s. government advisory body to monitor and report annually on religious
